As with the way most things have been this year, the theatrical schedule for Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was greatly disrupted by the Coronavirus pandemic. With things still slowly coming back together this year, it’s been revealed that new release dates have been given to a variety of upcoming MCU movies – including those which were originally scheduled for this year. The new release dates, which were recently revealed by The Walt Disney Company via Marvel, were announced for the three Marvel Cinematic Universe films Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and Eternals.…

Stephen King’s IT has become an iconic story across several different generations. Much like the way Pennywise manages to turn up every few decades, it seems his associated story does the same. First, there was Stephen King’s novel. Then the 1990 miniseries adaptation of IT acquired its own iconic status for decades until, in 2017, a new film adaptation was released. By that point, Pennywise became a pop culture icon all over again. But that hasn’t stopped fans from celebrating the 1990 IT miniseries – and now, for the miniseries adaptation’s 30th anniversary, fans will be able to witness a…

While fans won’t be able to finally see The Suicide Squad until next year, we did recently get our first look at the film at the DC FanDome event. It was certainly exciting getting a taste of what’s to come, and now The Suicide Squad actor Joel Kinnaman has called the film both “heavily R-rated” and “insane.” As explained in a new interview with THR: “That movie is going to be insane. The script is so funny. Every page of that script was funny, and every page made me laugh. James just has this command of that genre, but also over…

Although Stephen King has intricately connected all of his stories throughout the decades, he isn’t quite someone that tends to write direct sequels. While there are certainly a few in his bibliography, it’s this latest sequel tease that is especially exciting. According to a new report, it appears that author Stephen King is working on a sequel to his novel IT, which is an especially big announcement if true. As explained by The Vulcan Reporter (so take it with a grain of salt) it looks like the new IT sequel will follow the original book and take place in the…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn’t recast its characters very often. But in the case of parallel universes becoming a more common theme – especially with the upcoming film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – fans should likely be prepared to see alternate versions of their favorite Marvel characters. Especially if this latest rumor is to be believed, in which case actor Tom Cruise might very well become Iron Man in an alternate universe interpretation of the iconic superhero. The rumor was suggested by insider Daniel Richtman, who reported that Marvel is interested in getting some alternate universe versions…

While the odds weren’t exactly in its favor, it appears that one horror film newly added to Netflix’s massive streaming platform is finding quite a bit of success on the service. The film, which is an intense foray into paranoia and suspense, is titled The Paramedic. It’s a Spanish psychological horror film that, as of this writing, has crawled all the way to the #4 spot of Netflix’s most watched movies. It’s an impressive feat, as seen on FlixPatrol, especially considering foreign films aren’t usually this successful on Netflix. Nevertheless, it proves that sometimes strong, solid content will simply find…

While Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy was perhaps one of the most grounded, realistic, and thus darker takes on the Batman mythology – each installment continued to have a PG-13 rating. This includes The Dark Knight Rises, the final film in Christopher Nolan’s trilogy. However, in an interesting new podcast discussion, actor Matthew Modine revealed that his character in the film had a death so horrific that Christopher Nolan decided to cut it so that The Dark Knight Rises wouldn’t receive a NC-17 rating. Matthew Modine revealed the surprising NC-17 possibility for The Dark Knight Rises while speaking on CinemaBlend’s…

When Disney Plus launched in the fall of last year, one of the biggest draws for audiences was The Mandalorian. The series was the first ever live action Star Wars television series, and it proved that the format was a great fit for the galaxy far, far away. Obviously, that means audiences have been excited for The Mandalorian Season 2, and now we have our first trailer! As you can see in the trailer below for The Mandalorian Season 2,  we have a few familiar faces to look forward to. These characters include our titular Mandalorian, named Din Djarin, as…

It’s been a tough year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that doesn’t mean Disney isn’t still planning ahead for the future of the MCU. In fact, according to a new report, it looks like they may have already cast an actor to play Kang the Conquerer in the next Ant-Man movie. While it isn’t confirmed whether or not he’ll be playing Kang, it’s been revealed that actor Jonathan Majors from Lovecraft Country will be attached to one of the lead roles in Ant-Man 3. As explained by Deadline: “Majors has been tapped for one of the lead roles in…

Netflix’s new film Cuties has already received a vast amount of backlash for its portrayal of preadolescent girls via its marketing campaign. Now the movie is making rounds again, yet again generating controversy and backlash. The film was released on Netflix on September 9, and now even petitions have been started against it. In fact, one such petition calls for Netflix subscribers to cancel their subscriptions while claiming the service “exploits children and creates a disturbing vibe.” While the film received positive reviews at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, that hasn’t been the case ever since Netflix’s advertising campaign for…
