2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse was far from a smash hit, financially and critically. Eyebrows were first raised when the title character, Apocalypse, was revealed – and he drew comparisons to Ivan Ooze, the Power Rangers villain. Well, in an interview with EW, a few members of the creative team behind the film have revealed what they think went wrong. Simon Kinberg said: “I think we took our eye off what has always been the bedrock of the franchise which is these characters. It became about global destruction and visual effects over emotion and character.” Producer Hutch Parker said: “It’s always dangerous…

While many assumed Season 1 of Marvel’s Jessica Jones was the last time we’d see David Tennant’s Kilgrave, that apparently is not the case, as the first official photo from the upcoming second season reveals he will have a prominent role. The first look (as well as plot details) comes courtesy of EW: For those of you who have been tracking the developments of the second season, Tennant’s return shouldn’t be that surprising. Set photos revealed Kilgrave would be back quite some time ago. As Krysten Ritter put it: “Having David back on set was amazing. We had such a great…

While it’s speculated that Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 will be the end of many notable Marvel characters, nothing is for certain, as is the case with many Marvel Cinematic Universe films. Though it might not come as a surprise, Chris Hemsworth recently hinted that his portrayal of Thor could be around for quite a while longer. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the actor stated: “I’ve been hugely impressed by Tom Holland [Spider-Man] and the way he’s handled the transition. I didn’t look that comfortable on my first three films. Literally, this is my sixth film and I’m finally…

In the latest case of sexual misconduct in Hollywood, director Bryan Singer has been accused of raping a 17-year-old boy. The X-Men director is no stranger to this before, sadly, as he’s previously had some very disturbing allegations thrown at him in the past. Singer was recently fired from the upcoming Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, for what was deemed as chaotic behavior, but many suspected there was some sort of allegation about to drop, and that appears to have been the case – though Singer denied it, saying: “With fewer than three weeks to shoot remaining, I asked Fox for…

In yet another report about Batman and Ben Affleck, speculation has come about again that Affleck will not be starring in Matt Reeves’ upcoming solo Batman movie. A new report from Variety says: While Ben Affleck is expected to appear as Batman in a standalone Flash movie, it is highly unlikely he will don the cape and cowl in Matt Reeves’ planned standalone Batman movie. The director is said to want to cast the role with fresh talent, according to sources. While fans called clickbait and said every story about the actor possibly leaving the role was fake, it appears that this…

The first look at Jason Momoa in the upcoming Aquaman movie has arrived, and if the star’s looks are anything to go by for the upcoming film, it’ll be a great movie! Of course, that’s obviously not the case – though it still looks intriguing. The picture comes courtesy of EW: Momoa said that it’ll be different than Justice League: “Justice League was only a weekend in Arthur Curry’s life. This is a totally different beast. In Aquaman, you see when his parents met and what happened to hem. Then the little boy being raised and finding his powers and going through…

Everyone seems to have strong opinions on the internet these days, and sometimes, tend to gang up on others who disagree. This seems to be what happened with Pornstar August Ames, who killed herself yesterday following backlash to some tweets she sent out. Now, obviously, Porn isn’t something we would normally cover here at ScreenGeek, but this story in particular, I felt it was important to point out – because cyber bullying is an important issue, and it’s sad when someone feels like they have no other way out. It all began when Ames sent out this tweet: whichever (lady)…

While a recent set photo seemingly pointed to a potential Agent Venom look for the lead character of the upcoming Venom movie starring Tom Hardy, a new poster spotted at CCXP has revealed that might not be the case. The posters come courtesy of Collider: It’s interesting, because that second poster alone already blows the doors off of Topher Grace’s Venom in Spider-Man 3. As someone who is a huge fan of the character, I’m pretty excited for this one. The film is rumored to draw inspiration from the Lethal Protector storyline (another good sign) and Todd McFarlane, Venom’s creator, seems…

The Avengers: Infinity War trailer has sent fans into a frenzy ever since it hit the web, with endless theories and questions popping up by the day. Questions were raised about Thanos’ helmet, or lack thereof. But now, it appears, that a new leaked image may have revealed that the big bad guy may have a helmet after all! In a new video from Omelete, an image from the Comic Con Experience floor has been spotted – showing Thanos with a helmet! Avengers: Infinity War co-director Joe Russo was asked about Thanos not wearing the helmet back in July, and…

In some very random news, it’s been announced that Ryan Reynolds will star in the upcoming Pokémon movie, Detective Pikachu. As THR reports: The Deadpool star has signed on to star in Legendary’s live-action Pokemon movie, THR has learned. Reynolds joins Justice Smith, who will be seen in the upcoming Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and Big Little Lies actress Kathryn Newton in the movie, titled Detective Pikachu, based on the gaming franchise. Rob Letterman (Goosebumps) is directing the project, which is due to start shooting mid-January in London. The report goes on to state that the role is motion capture “in nature”.
