It’s being reported that Disney is working on a new series of Star Wars films which will take place during the “High…
It’s been an interesting New Year for horror fans, as January ushered in an all new installment in The Grudge franchise. The new film, simply titled The Grudge, isn’t actually a remake but rather a little tie in that takes place simultaneously with the original 2004 American remake. While some fans were interested in the new incarnation of The Grudge, which attempted to transfer the Japanese style of ghosts over to the United States, it appears that it just isn’t doing very well with audiences or critics. In fact, The Grudge received a rare F rating on CinemaScore. If you…
Marvel is continuing to create a more diverse and inclusive Marvel Cinematic Universe with their latest phase of superhero movies and television shows.

It’s been a long time waiting for Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, the film which finally brought the View Askewniverse back after Clerks 2 seemingly concluded the franchise in 2006. Kevin Smith had unsuccessfully made several other attempts at reviving the franchise before Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, however, including Clerks 3 and a televised sequel to Mallrats titled MallBrats. Although now it appears that both Clerks 3 and a different Mallrats sequel now titled Twilight of the Mallrats are both in the scripting phase. Kevin Smith announced both of the projects in an Instagram post while wishing his fans…
Update: Variety has released a report stating While Feige’s answer appeared to respond to the specific question about a trans character, two sources close to the studio tell Variety that Feige only intended to respond to the first part about LGBT+ characters, and he did not mean to imply that a trans character will be coming to the MCU “very soon.” The article below remains as written before this update.

As a fan of Stephen King’s novel IT, I will admit having been a bit disappointed that the film version of Pennywise had nowhere near the extent of his transformations featured in the book. In the novel he’d just as easily turn into Rodan, the giant pterodactyl featured in the Godzilla franchise, as he did Frankenstein’s monster before ripping people’s arms out of their sockets. And although the film neglected to have these transformations for obvious rights reasons, it turns out there was one particular Warner Bros. movie villain that almost got featured for a sequence. As you know, IT:…
