It seems pretty obvious by now that Todd Phillips’ supervillain origin film Joker has been almost universally well received. The movie broke over $1 billion at the box office, and it was the first R rated film to do so. Clearly, then, everything came together as it was meant to in order for fans and critics to enjoy the film as much as they have. It turns out, however, that there was an alternate ending for Joker that could’ve given us not only a very different film but a very different series entirely going forward. It turns out that filmmaker…

Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe originally started out relatively small, the franchise has since branched out into an enormous amount of different ways, with additional movies, sequels, and television shows all expanding the universe and the super powered characters within. Obviously this has led to plenty of interesting discussions and debates among the fans of the MCU films, many of whom tend to argue about which of Marvel’s characters tends to be the most powerful. Of course, these arguments tend to be very subjective and that’s fair given how there isn’t always a lot of consistency in how powerful a…

One of the most exciting things about Disney acquiring Fox is that Marvel Studios would finally have access to the X-Men film properties that have since been out of reach. This includes one of Fox’s most recently successful franchises based on the X-Men series, which currently includes the films Deadpool and Deadpool 2 starring actor Ryan Reynolds. As such, this means Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige would now be attached as a producer on the upcoming film Deadpool 3. But as it turns out, this means Deadpool producer Emma Watts is no longer working on Deadpool 3. Emma Watts was…

Because the latest Marvel crossover event, Avengers: Endgame, was the conclusive finale to all the films before it – officially considered the Infinity Saga – the movie is full of potentially endless easter eggs and references to past Marvel projects. In fact, it appears that on top of Thor already being able to go back in time and reunite with several characters from his past – his original enemies the Frost Giants were also nearly included in the film. The film’s concept artist, Jerad S. Marantz, has recently been sharing an enormous amount of concept art from Avengers: Endgame on…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been expanding in a variety of exciting ways now that the Infinity Saga has been concluded with Avengers: Endgame and the fourth phase has been announced. Unfortunately for Guardians of the Galaxy fans, there hasn’t been any confirmation regarding Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and when the sequel would potentially be released. Now director James Gunn has teased the potential shoot date for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on his Instagram account. The Guardians of the Galaxy writer and director recently posted an image of a Fuggler Drax doll on his Instagram page,…

With fans now more interested in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog film ever since its titular character was digitally redesigned to be more accurate to his video game counterpart, they’ll be happy to know that there’s a new international trailer for the film. What’s more, the international Sonic the Hedgehog trailer actually shows a neat bit of previously unseen footage – it turns out we see a baby version of Sonic in the new movie! And fans are loving him. Director Jeff Fowler shared the footage over on Twitter, and gave fans their first look at the baby version of…

It’s been an interesting time the last few months for movies at the box office, but so far none have flopped as ridiculously badly as Cats. The Universal movie based on the hit Broadway musical of the same name has so far only made $16 million worldwide, and that is on a budget of $100 million not including marketing. Obviously Universal has placed themselves in a tricky situation when it comes to this film, as it seems to be nearly universally hated by critics and audiences alike. In fact, the CGI has received so much criticism that Universal issued a modified…

Kevin Spacey recently made rounds on the internet when he released another video under the guise of his Frank Underwood character. The video was released on Christmas Eve and had the eerie title, “KTWK (Kill Them With Kindness).” While the video was already an incredibly jarring bit of footage from actor Kevin Spacey, it appears an even more shocking event occurred the day after it was posted. Norwegian author Ari Behn, also known as a Kevin Spacey accuser, committed suicide. The author had previously accused Kevin Spacey of having groped him under a table in 2007 while the two were…

While several actors have portrayed the iconic serial killer Hannibal Lecter, one of the most inarguably notable portrayals has been from actor Anthony Hopkins who first played the character in The Silence of the Lambs. He returned to play the role in the films Hannibal as well as Red Dragon, and won an Oscar for his initial appearance as the character. But as it turns out, another actor was nearly cast as Hannibal Lecter instead. In fact, as it turns out, actor John Lithgow nearly played Hannibal Lecter. John Lithgow explained how he almost got the role of Hannibal Lecter…

While The Rise of Skywalker has been more or less divisive among Star Wars fans, The Mandalorian has received mainly praise since it first premiered on Disney Plus. The new show was the first live action Star Wars series, and with that there were plenty of expectations to go with it. But after an eight episode first season, fans were pleased to see that the series did justice to the Star Wars brand while introducing new elements and paying respects to what came before. Unfortunately for fans, it will be awhile before The Mandalorian manages to come back for another…
