He was also the comic book world’s…

The “feud” between Deadpool star, Ryan Reynolds, and former Wolverine actor, Hugh Jackman, is the stuff of legend. Their friendly banter has been a shining light in a tumultuous 2018. What all started with an attempt to get Jackman to reprise his role as the uber popular X-Men character in one of the Deadpool movies has turned into a back and forth social media jousting event that has fans laughing hysterically all year. They’ve blown up Twitter with their constant jabs, and even made “political attack ads” to help each other promote their latest projects. They really have established “relationship…

The DC Streaming Service is trying to bring the world of DC Comics into everyone’s homes. This fledgling service is only a couple of months old, but you can already see tons of their animated movies, many classic films like Superman (1978), as well as the Dark Knight Trilogy.

Once Upon a Deadpool, the PG-13 cut of the successful R-rated Deadpool 2, is already crushing it in theaters. And, while this movie was meant to be a tamer version for all audiences, it is still a Deadpool movie, and someone is bound to be offended. Well, this time, the offense actually comes from a poster for the film. A petition has been filed over on Change.org to have the film change its “Yule Believe in Miracles” which depicts a religious scene with Deadpool in place of Jesus. The image parodied in the poster is apparently one that is very…

There has been an endless debate between Marvel and DC Comics fans over who has the best movies.

No matter who you are or where you’re from, 1 plus 1 will ALWAYS equal 2. Now, someone has compiled 75 of the top superhero movies from the two comic book powerhouses and compared the numbers. And…

Marvel Studios is in the process of making the Marvel Cinematic Universe more diverse. Starting with Captain Marvel, the studio plans to have more than 50% of their heroes to be female. They are also diversifying their creative talents with female directors. The first is co-director, Anna Boden, working on Captain Marvel, and Cate Shortland, who will be helming the solo Black Widow film.

Argentinean director, Lucrecia Martel, spoke fairly poorly about her experience with…
