One of the highlights of Andrew Lincoln’s brilliant exit-episode from The Walking Dead was Jon Bernthal unexpectedly cropping up to reprise the role of Rick Grimes’s dead ex-partner, Shane Walsh. It gave the actor a welcome opportunity to lay the character to rest, and for fans to bid him a fond farewell, as well as Lincoln. And it transpires that is something Bernthal has already been thinking about in relation to what may be his final outing as The Punisher. Despite overwhelming audience support for The Punisher to be renewed for a third season, it seems there is little chance…

Whether you believe the heroes that were turned to dust during the closing stages of Avengers: Infinity War are dead, or that they’ve simply been somehow removed to a different realm residing within the Soul Stone, it’s pretty much a done deal that by the closing credits of Endgame the surviving Avengers team members will have found a way to bring them all back. Or is it? One person who almost certainly knows the answer is Sebastian Stan. And he’s not giving anything away… With Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 and Black Panther 2 in the early stages of pre-production,…

Last week we bought you the news that an internet petition launched by Marvel fans in an attempt to prevent the axing of the Daredevil TV show by Netflix had managed to triple its overall number of signatories thanks to the actions of Kingpin actor, Vincent D’Onofrio. Well, this week we’re more than happy to report that the total of respondents to said petition has almost now gone and doubled again, thanks in no small part to the intervention of none other than Matt Murdock himself… Initially the online love-letter crafted by the show’s supporters in a bid to reverse…

Any regular visitors to the website will be more than aware that we here at ScreenGeek, are BIG fans of digital artist, BossLogic. The Melbourne-based creator has an inimitable talent for taking news articles and rumours that link various actors and media personalities to iconic comic book or video game roles, and then rendering stunning imagery of what the end result might look like.

Of all the chaos and uncertainty raised in the aftermath of Avengers: Infinity War, perhaps the most divisive unanswered question was the fate of everybody’s favorite bad guy. It remains to be seen if the Loki that Thanos slayed was YET ANOTHER mental projection, or this finally was the time that the devious demigod’s luck ran out. One thing that definitely isn’t in doubt though is that it isn’t the last you’ve seen of the villain, though a new rumor suggests that the next time you meet him he might well be a little shorter than you remember. The House…

With the latest two movie entries in the Alien franchise unfortunately having done little towards securing the future of the film series, fans were hoping that the promotion of a new Alien computer game might represent the beginnings of a bright new future for everybody’s favorite murderous extraterrestrial. Alas, it doesn’t appear likely that’s how things are going to pan out…     For the shortest of times, In the aftermath of Prometheus, it looked like 20th Century Fox might have realized that some kind of fundamental change was needed. With Ridley Scott promising to produce something fresh and new…

Whilst the decision by to cut both the Iron Fist and Luke Cage programs was met with a modicum of protest, the level of fan clamor to save the two solo Defenders shows was nothing in comparison to the outpouring of raw emotion that followed the announcement that Daredevil was also being dropped. A move as unpredictable as it was hurtful, it’s got Marvel fans protesting harder than we’ve ever seen before, as well as one or two of the show’s cast members. A new Change petition has surfaced, which reads: As dedicated fans, we are convinced that Marvel’s Daredevil…

Regular visitors to the site will know that earlier this week we reported the fact that the makers of this year’s The Predator shot three different endings for the movie. In addition to the one where Boyd Holbrook’s hero comes into possession of a nifty Predator-Hunter suit, one of the other scenes would have featured the character Ellen Ripley crossing over into the Predator universe from the neighboring Alien franchise. Well, we now know what the third ending was, and it also featured another iconic Aliens character.  The news about the Ripley sequence that was filmed for The Predator came…

Whatever personal feelings you may have about The Predator to the contrary, there’s no escaping the fact that the film has ultimately crashed and burned in some quite spectacular style. An uncomfortable and awkward viewing experience, where the few good points on display are swamped by a flood of lazy and cliched plot contrivances, it’s one of a whole host of failed attempts to reboot big budget franchises that audiences saw fail in 2018. And if all of that isn’t upsetting enough, the fact we’ve now learned the movie almost contained an awesome crossover link to the Alien franchise is…

2018 had looked like it was shaping up to be a great year for The Defenders and their associated Marvel Netflix TV shows. With the second seasons of Luke Cage and Iron Fist both successfully addressing the weaknesses of their first uncomfortable outings, and Daredevil’s third series being arguably the best yet, it seemed like the brand was going from strength to strength. And then all three shows were cancelled, leaving a lot of people angry and confused, with evidence emerging this week that number might actually include Netflix themselves. Initially, the word on the street was that it had…
