Anyone who cares about the inner workings of film production would be curious to know how much movie stars make. It’s surprising how a big blockbuster movie would hit a high revenue close to a billion dollars but some of the cast might not make near that amount. In the case of Avengers: Endgame, Robert Downey Jr. was one of the top A-List stars in the movie. The actor has helped carry Marvel Studios where it is today but surprisingly, Downey was not the top earner of the film. Avengers: Endgame has so far garnered a very impressive $2.7 billion…

There were many factors in Spider-Man: Far From Home that made it such a great movie. Peter Parker traveling to a European country allowed the character to continue to grow within the MCU and become the hero Spider-Man is meant to be. One of these factors was the level of comedy presented in the movie that gave it a well-deserved breather between action set pieces and some dramatic moments.

Sure, some people like it but the new adage in the Predator franchise was riddled with problems during production and forced the hand of the studio to get involved.

Director Quentin Tarantino has an impressive lineup of films. The man had made John Travolta cool again with Pulp Fiction, gave Adolf Hitler the treatment he deserved in Inglorious Basterds, and had a former slave seek revenge in the southwest in Django Unchained. Tarantino film enthusiast fanbase is well deserved but the director has always hinted that a ten-movie run may be his limit. Now it looks like Tarantino might have shortened that with his soon to be released Once Upon A Time In Hollywood release. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was a big hit at this year’s Cannes…

After the events of Avengers: Endgame, audience members were left with questions on how the world of MCU would be from here on out.
