The newest Star Wars series The Acolyte took viewers nearly one-hundred years into the past before the events of The Phantom Menace. However, its story was cut short after the announcement that The Acolyte has been canceled by Disney Plus. Now some fans have launched an online petition to get The Acolyte renewed. The series has faced backlash and divisiveness from fans ever since it was released. The storyline, which largely revolves around new characters and different settings than what fans are used to, was heavily criticized. Similarly, some fans complained that the new characters and plot elements were too…

It looks like Disney Plus had to make a difficult decision regarding one of their newest shows. The streaming service chose to cancel a series after producing only one season for their platform. Of course, the Disney Plus series was considered controversial during its run, so this might not be too surprising. The show’s themes and content sparked debates among viewers and critics, leading to a polarizing reception. Despite this, it did manage to gain a loyal following, with some fans advocating for its continuation. After all, it can be difficult to run a service when so many shows require…

The 1994 movie The Crow brought to life the graphic novel created by James O’Barr for the big screen. It would be several decades and a number of sequels and one short-lived TV series before another direct adaptation would arrive. Now fans are set to receive The Crow starring Bill Skarsgård, taking over from the late Brandon Lee to portray Eric Draven – something which Skarsgård says was “daunting” at first – but made it a point to say that the new film is not a remake. Bill Skarsgård, whose credits include IT: Chapter One, IT: Chapter Two, and Barbarian,…

The Anaconda film franchise has been around since 1997, and according to the latest report, it’s still showing no signs of slowing. In fact, a brand-new reimagining is set to take the Anaconda brand to an all-new level, with major Hollywood players Jack Black and Paul Rudd in talks to star. Interestingly, there seems to be a more comedic edge with this effort, as it will be a “meta” film. This makes sense when considering The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent director Tom Gormican is directing the Anaconda reboot, having additionally co-written the script with collaborator Kevin Etten. Here’s what…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become increasingly connected with the release of Deadpool & Wolverine. The newly-released blockbuster established the existence of Wesley Snipes as Blade in the Multiverse, something which came as a major shock while Marvel Studios continues to develop their own take on Blade. Now, however, a new Blade movie with Wesley Snipes seems even more likely as Marvel reportedly moves away from Mahershala Ali. Actor Mahershala Ali has been attached to portray Blade in a new MCU movie for years now. He already voiced the character for a cameo in Eternals. Although as Marvel’s Blade continues…

Marvel Studios and Sony have been hard at work with developing Spider-Man 4. The success of Spider-Man: No Way Home and its predecessors has no doubt added plenty of pressure to making sure the MCU project turns out well. As such, it may be interesting to note a report that Sydney Sweeney is wanted to portray Black Cat in Spider-Man 4. This is interesting for a number of reasons. For one, Sydney Sweeney is a massive Hollywood star and she would no doubt make a terrific Black Cat, aka Felicia Hardy, for the MCU. Also worth noting, however, is that…

The John Wick franchise has been a surprisingly successful modern-day action brand. The first film, released in 2014, launched an entire shared universe that now spans both film and television. With four mainline entries, however, fans may be delighted to know that John Wick 5 is reportedly in the works. This report comes at a time when fans are already expecting a spin-off film, titled John Wick Presents: Ballerina with Ana de Armas in the title role, and another spin-off focusing on Donnie Yen’s character Caine. Of course, having Keanu Reeves lead another John Wick film himself is certainly a…

Amazon Prime, like many of its streaming peers, is dedicating to curating its platform. Unfortunately for many subscribers, that means they’ve had to watch their favorite shows get prematurely axed. Now another such fan-favorite series has been canceled by Amazon Prime Video after one season on their platform. It’s unfortunate because viewers really were praising the series, and as you might imagine, they’ve since taken to social media to complain. Of course, the streaming era can be quite vicious regarding what gets renewed and what doesn’t. Now, not even two months since the release of the series, Amazon Prime Video…

The Friday the 13th franchise is slowly being prepared for a major comeback. We’ve known for years that A24 and Peacock have been developing a new take for television. However, original showrunner Bryan Fuller was removed from the project, which left a void for someone else to fill. Now we know who the new Crystal Lake showrunner will be. Additionally, this showrunner has experience with handling major television productions based on major feature films. As such, he seems to be a perfect choice to bring the Friday the 13th franchise to a new audience and in a new medium. Here’s…
