With Avengers: Endgame coming to a satisfying conclusion, the future of Marvel is in an interesting place regarding their future. They will be creating several projects for characters who haven’t had a chance to shine on the silver screen, including The Eternals, Shang-Chi, and Blade all coming in the next few years. Marvel also has several sequels on the way, including Black Panther 2 and Spider-Man 3, leaving many to wonder when Marvel would announce a Captain Marvel 2 officially. Well according to Thomas Polito’s discovery of a new Marvel LLC for “Warbirds Production II”, Captain Marvel 2 has been officially greenlit. It was previously announced that WandaVision writer Megan McDonell…

Few producers receive as much universal acclaim as Kevin Feige, who is noted as the composer of Marvel’s massively successful cinematic universe. It was his thoughtful planning and construction that created an engaging, comic-book world where characters exist in the same world. The idea seems so obvious on paper, but no one had before or since been able to craft the superhero movie code like Feige, with Marvel now being an unstoppable juggernaut in the film industry. With all that said, it’s crazy to think that Feige almost left Marvel after 2012’s The Avengers. In an interview with the Independent, Mark…

While Oscar season has become tiresome with its banal predictability and a similar selection of films, this year’s ceremony had a genuine surprise when Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite took home the Best Picture prize along with three other awards, making it the first international film to win the top prize. While many film fans celebrated the film’s success (I reviewed it back in November and loved every minute of it), some have been critical of the Academy’s choice. Leading the critical charge is President Donald Trump, who questioned its win in a recent rally saying “And the winner is a movie from…

After the controversial ending of Rise of Skywalker, many have wondered what the future of Star Wars will be. While critics and fans alike were satisfied by The Mandalorian on the small screen (future projects like Obi-Wan and a Rogue One spin-off series also have promise), the brand’s big-screen future in a mysterious state. Rumors circulated that Disney was targeting Oscar winner Taika Waititi to helm a Star Wars project, but that discussion never materialized into anything official. Thankfully, that murky state appears to be fading away (or so it seems), with the announcement that J.D. Dillard will be directing a new Star Wars project. According to The Hollywood…

Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to be moving forward, but many are still surprised that an Avengers film has yet to be announced. Last year’s Avengers: Endgame offered a satisfying conclusion for many of Marvel’s staple characters, leaving the door open for existing characters (like Captain Marvel and Black Panther) to be further developed while introducing new heroes to the heroic squad. It appears that one of the new Avengers will be She-Hulk, who is also set to appear in her own Disney+ series in the coming years. According to a casting call from The Illuminerdi, a recent casting call…

Warner Brothers have made an admirable attempt to step into the cinematic universe game with their Godzilla and King Kong films. Revealed by an end credits scene in Kong: Skull Island, the idea that the iconic monsters would share the same universe has the potential to create one of the most epic big-budget blockbusters we’ve seen in some time, which director Adam Wingard hopes to deliver with Godzilla vs Kong. While we are still a ways away from the film’s November 2020 release, a new leaked image teases some of the havoc that Godzilla will be bringing to the city. Take a look at the explosive concept…

There has been a lot of buzz about Matt Reeves The Batman reboot, which has begun shooting ahead of its June 2021 release date. That buzz though has been somewhat mixed, as some seem to be drawn to Reeves new-look feature while others are turned off by star Robert Pattinson’s presence as the Caped Crusader. After getting a great first tease at Batman’s costume with a screen test last week, set photos are giving audiences a full-look at Batman’s new Batsuit. This first-look shows Pattinson in action as Batman, ripping through a road on what appears to also be a Batcycle. Take…

Sequels have become a lot more commonplace in the horror genre, with the studio model of inexpensive horror projects making it easier to greenlit a sequel for a modest hit. Cheap productions like Unfriended: The Dark Web, Strangers: Prey at Night, and Ouija: Origin of Evil have done a solid job at either matching the standard of or improving on their predecessor, with horror fans hoping that will be the case for Brahms: The Boy 2. Its 2015 original was released with little fanfare, failing to impress critics with a 30% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Well, it appears one person has already been scared by…

Disney’s remake trend is only continuing to grow, with the addition of Disney+ allowing the studio to drop additional content on streaming. Last year they released Dumbo, Aladdin, Lion King, and Lady in the Tramp to rather mixed results. While most of them were able to gain a substantial audience, only Aladdin was able to satisfy fans with a unique take on its predecessor. Mulan will try to do the same, taking a drastic change of pace from its animated counterpart with a realistic take on its story. It seems like Disney is going all-in to sell this direction, announcing today that the Mulan remake will be rated PG-13 for…

The evolving news about Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s abusive relationship has dominated the news cycle over the past few years. While it was mainly assumed that Depp acted abusively towards Heard, recent reports and recordings have revealed that Heard was psychical and emotionally abusing Depp, leading to the end of their relationship. Heard’s behavior has led to a lot of criticism from fans, with many trying to boot her out of her current roles and responsibilities for her actions. Along with a petition that vowed to get Heard removed from her role in Aquaman 2, a petition on Change.org has started…
