Chris Evans has churned out a great run as Steve Rogers in the MCU. And Avengers: Endgame played out a great swan song for his long-running character. It’s almost easy to forget that he played a Marvel hero before Cap. But imagine if Marvel said one was enough. John Krasinski from The Office, A Quiet Place, and Prime’s Jack Ryan auditioned for the title role of Captain America: The First Avenger. Obviously, he didn’t get the part. His career has been rather prolific in lieu of the role of a lifetime. Yet, he still blames Evans for “robbing” Cap from…

Despite adding Arnold Schwarzeneggar back into the mix, Terminator: Genisys ended up just being another flop. However, Terminator: Dark Fate might just be back on track. According to Slash Film, an Alamo Drafthouse location held a special event. It was marketed as a screening of T2: Judgement Day. That was sure to get seats filled. The last film in the franchise that James Cameron touched is said to be the…

And though his technology was far-fetched science-fiction in 1962,…
