While they appeared in both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, it’s been nearly three years since the Guardians of the Galaxy have been featured in their own big-screen adventure. For many Marvel fans, that is a shame, as the team has gone on to being Marvel’s most inventive and funloving team with their first two features. Due to the firing and eventual re-hiring of writer/director James Gunn (who is now working with DC for Suicide Squad 2), the process for a third film has been delayed significantly, with the film tentatively being scheduled in 2022 (five years after Volume 2). Many have wondered what…

The Expendables trilogy is an interesting mixed bag, one that occasionally lived up to the machismo fun that its action onslaught premise promised. The Expendables 2, in particular, was a blast of fun, with numerous star-studded cameos and a more self-aware tone striking a perfect balance of cheesy entertainment. However, after The Expendables 3 bombed at the box office (and featured a lackluster PG-13 rating), many assumed the franchise would be left for dead, but that does not appear to be the case anymore. According to sources from The Illuminerdi, it appears that a new Expendables spin-off is on the way, starring series regular…

John Krasinski has had a career of remarkable twists and turns. Starting out as one of the core cogs in The Office, the actor briefly became a highly-regarded actor for big projects like Captain America but came up just short for these major roles. After years of being a sturdy character actor, 2018’s breakout hit A Quiet Place (which he stars and directs) redefined his career, now enjoying a prosperous run on the big and small screen with Amazon’s Jack Ryan series now entering its third season. Even with that success, some still wonder what it would have been like if Krasinski was casted in…

Chucky is an iconic figure in the slasher genre, with his toy-like appearance hiding a dastardly edge and a desire to kill. Many fans were split on the recent reboot of Chucky in Child’s Play, which reinvented the character for modern times by connecting it to our obsession of smart technology. This remake had some unique pleasures, including the addition of Mark Hamil as the voice of Chucky, but many fans were upset that the core team that invented Chucky (writer/director Don Mancini and voice actor Brad Dourif) were not involved in the conception of the film. That changes with the upcoming Chucky TV…

Disney+ has only been around for a few months, but it already has made its presence felt in the streaming landscape. The Mandalorian made significant waves as the first successful live-action Star Wars series, with other programs like The High School Musical reboot and the live-action remake of Lady and the Tramp making a strong impression with audiences. Along with the upcoming release of Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision, it appears that Disney will have another incoming remake with Lilo and Stitch. According to the Disinsider, the upcoming remake will release on Disney+, forgoing a traditional theatrical run. While there is no director attached at the moment, the…

With Spider-Man soon set to leave the MCU, Sony is trying its hands at creating their own cinematic universe with everyone’s favorite neighborhood spider and his respective foes. Venom was a great start for that, earning over 800 million dollars worldwide despite poor reviews while having a sequel greenlit in the process. Between the release of Morbius and Venom 2 later this year, Sony’s proposed universe will be put to the test as to whether audiences are willing to invest in it. While audiences still have yet to see any footage for Venom 2, director Andy Serkis spoke with Digital Spy about the progress on…

Few blockbusters are able to be recognized as legitimate art, but Mad Max: Fury Road was able to break into that mold. Thanks to glowing reactions from fans and critics alike (97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes), the Mad Max revival went on to be nominated for Best Picture and Best Director at the Oscars, a seldom occurrence for any summer blockbuster. Nearly five years since Fury Road hit theaters, it looks like Mad Max: The Wasteland is finally going to see the light of day. According to GeeksWorldWide, the new entry in the Mad Max series is set to begin production this Fall, with director…

The past few years have been tumultuous for former star actor Johnny Depp, with struggles in his professional and personal life taking place. After assault claims arose around 2017 involving his former wife Amber Heard, many in Hollywood labeled the actor uncastable, going from tentpole blockbusters to straight to VOD projects. Making matters worse is recent developments that showed Heard’s claims to be falsified, with the actress being caught on video admitting to assaulting Depp herself. With this new update, many longtime Depp fans are coming out to express their desire for the actor to return to his most iconic…

One of 2020’s most intriguing projects is Spiral: From The Book Of Saw, a reinvention of the Saw brand by talented stand-up comedian Chris Rock. The Saw franchise in its heyday was wonderfully sadistic in its pursuit of shocking kills and gory traps, but the series only saw two entries in the 2010’s, with 2017’s Jigsaw dividing fans and critics with its attempt to revive the franchise. Set for a May 15, 2020 release, distributor Lionsgate has finally released the first teaser for the film after a cut leaked via Reddit yesterday. Take a look at the trailer along with the official synopsis and new poster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgNlWypWmtw&feature=emb_title…

With Captain America exiting the MCU after his emotional finale in Avengers: Endgame, many fans wondered what the future would hold for his two best friends Buck “The Winter Soldier” Barnes and Sam “The Falcon” Wilson.  With the announcement of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier premiering on Disney+ this year, many have been excited about the potential of the two “frenemies” teaming up together while getting their first chance to truly take the spotlight. After being teased in Marvel’s big Super Bowl TV Spot, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier storyline has finally been revealed. Check it out along with the trailer if…
