The latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Marvels, continues the story established in Captain Marvel and the Disney Plus series Ms. Marvel. However, it now looks like The Marvels had the lowest opening for the cinematic franchise. The Marvels debuted with a disappointing $47 million domestically, making it the lowest-grossing opening weekend for an MCU movie to date. This figure is significantly lower than the first Ant-Man film, which earned $57.2 million in 2015, and even The Incredible Hulk starring Edward Norton, which brought in $55.4 million in 2008. As shared via Deadline, Marvel Studios did attempt a…

The Marvels has finally been released. The follow-up to both Captain Marvel and the Disney Plus series Ms. Marvel sets up a major reboot within the MCU during its post-credits scene, meaning that The Marvels could be even more important than previously speculated. Marvel Studios has been gradually taking advantage of Disney’s Fox acquisitions. This means that the studio is slowly planting the seeds to introduce the X-Men franchise to the MCU. Fans saw some of this in Ms. Marvel, when it was teased that Kamala Khan could very well be the franchise’s first mutant. Now, however, The Marvels is…

The hit animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender is being adapted for live-action. The first teaser trailer for the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender series, which is being produced for Netflix, can be seen below. Of course, fans may recall that The Last Airbender was previously adapted for live-action in 2010 by M. Night Shyamalan. The film adaptation was panned by fans and critics, with many considering it inferior to the animated series. Fortunately, it looks like Netflix has been much more careful with this iteration, and fans seem to be responding quite well. Here’s the official teaser trailer for…

Gal Gadot is known for having played the titular role in the DC blockbuster Wonder Woman and its sequel Wonder Woman 1984. Now, however, Gadot is facing backlash over alleged examples of Islamophobia. As noted via Newsweek, Gadot “helped arrange” a screening for “the 43-minute Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) documentary Bearing Witness, which features graphic footage from the October 7 surprise attack,” and that it “resulted in a mass brawl between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protestors outside Los Angeles’ Museum of Tolerance on Wednesday night.” It’s been said that Gadot was not present at the event. The publication continues to note that “Gadot,…

The 1979 movie Alien delivered some of the most iconic designs in horror film history. Of course, it wasn’t an easy process, and many different concepts were considered before H.R. Giger’s designs were used. Now, however, an original design for the Xenomorph in Alien has resurfaced online. The illustration is based on screenwriter Dan O’Bannon’s original script for the film. Ron Cobb designed the piece prior to H.R. Giger being brought onto the project. And while Cobb’s original design was not used, he did make one major contribution to the Xenomorph as we know it today. He’s credited with giving…

One would suspect that an adaptation of an iconic Stephen King story would be an immediate box office success. Warner Bros seems to be second-guessing this, however, as their plans for Salem’s Lot may have just changed. It looks like the film could very well be released via streaming rather than theatrically. As shared by Variety, their sources claim that Warner Bros “is looking to jettison its horror film ‘Salem’s Lot’ to Max.” The publication notes that the film was developed “for a theatrical rollout,” though Warner Bros has kept it “sitting on the shelf for a year.” Now the…

It’s always exciting when someone captures something strange on camera. Now, as you can see below, it almost looks as though someone captured a glitch in the Matrix with what’s being called a “cursed wedding dress”. As you can see below, writer and comedian Tessa Coates shared a photo on Instagram featuring said cursed wedding dress. She wore the outfit during a pre-wedding shopping trip. Though, as noted on her social media post, there’s something quite wrong with the image. Viewers need to look closely as she explains in the caption: “I went wedding dress shopping and the fabric of…

The Netflix series Stranger Things is headed towards its fifth and final season. Now that the SAG-AFTRA strike has concluded, it means that the show’s production can resume. However, this has also made Stranger Things fans realize one interesting fact regarding Millie Bobby Brown. Millie Bobby Brown, known for playing the fan-favorite character Eleven in the series, was first cast when she was 11-years-old. She was only 12-years-old when the show finally premiered on Netflix. Of course, with there having been several years between seasons, she’s now 19-years-old as of this writing. This is where things get interesting. As noted…

The first Inside Out film was released by Pixar and Disney in 2015. Now, nearly a decade later, it’s finally time for Inside Out 2! Pixar has just treated fans to the first teaser trailer for the film, and excitingly enough, it introduces an all-new emotion to the cast. Maya Hawke of Stranger Things fame joins the cast of the film. As you can see in the teaser below, it looks like there are some major changes happening now that Riley is becoming a teenager. It’s a difficult transitional period for many, and Pixar captures that by placing her mind…

Zack Snyder has been working on a variety of projects with Netflix. Sadly, it looks like one of his most highly-anticipated Netflix projects has now been cancelled. Zack Snyder confirmed as much in a new interview. It appears that his hit Netflix movie Army of the Dead was intended to be expanded upon with an animated series titled Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas. It’s this particular series that was left unfinished. It certainly seems like fans of Snyder missed out on this project. Especially because it would’ve also tied in with Zack Snyder’s upcoming live-action film Rebel Moon. Here’s…
