Avengers: Endgame went from being arguably the most anticipated film of all time to living up to all its hype, and then some. The 3 hour long epic was a roller coaster of emotions, bringing us to the highest of highs (Captain America wielding Mjolnir, “Avengers Assemble!”, etc), tons of levity (“America’s Ass”, “Cheese Whiz”, etc), and the lowest of lows (Iron Man’s ultimate choice, Black Widow’s sacrifice, etc). But, there is one tear jerker of an Easter Egg that most people missed. During the 5 years after the snap, Rocket and Nebula were out helping keep what was left…

The Babadook was a terrifying, yet refreshing, horror film that pushed debut director Jennifer Kent into notoriety with a strong showing at the 2014 Sundance Festival. The film was a fresh take on a classic horror tale from her native land of Australia. Now, Kent is back with her sophomoric film, but this one is of a completely different vein than her first. The Nightingale is a historical revenge story set during ‘The Black War’, a dark period in Australia’s history. Lead character, Claire, has finished serving a 7 year sentence as a house slave, but her abusive master refusing…

As Avengers: Endgame continues to strive towards utter box office domination, narrowing the distance the top spot held by Avatar, we are getting continuous information about details behind the scenes. Part of what we’re getting, though, comes from a pertinent character throughout the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not information necessarily from Endgame. Actually this new insight comes from the previous MCU release, Captain Marvel, and sheds a little more light on one of this character’s defining characteristics. One of the co directors of Captain Marvel, Ryan Fleck, while speaking with Comic Book Movie, lets fans in on the why…

Keanu Reeves is a rarity in Hollywood. The megastar is a down to earth and all around decent human being. Top that off with such iconic roles like Johnny Utah in Point Break, Bill S. Preston, Esq. in Bill & Ted, Neo in The Matrix, and John Wick in the John Wick franchise, it’s hard not to love this guy’s work. There’s another character that is dear to comic book fans, and although the film has mixed reviews, it’s grown a bit of a cult following. I’m talking, of course, about Constantine. Now, Reeves himself weighs a tad on possibly…

If there is one thing that you can count on from superhero movie fans, it’s their unrelenting passion. And, thanks to the internet, they all have a voice, and can petition for anything. Now, when I say “petition”, I don’t mean that they push their cause through vocalization and debate, but rather actual petitions that people sign in hopes of changing the minds of Hollywood and showing real numbers of fans that want a certain thing. It quantifies “the voice of the people”. So, what’s the latest petition? Well, it has to do with everyone’s favorite mutant canuck and a…

After dethroning the juggernaut that is Avengers: Endgame for the number one spot this past weekend in theaters, the 3rd film in the series also boasted the best weekend the franchise has ever seen. And, if you’ve seen the movie, you know that this fictional universe continues to expand. Now, that expansion has a date, as John Wick: Chapter 4 has received an official release date. SPOILERS AHEAD FOR JOHN WICK 3! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! When we…

Rumors are truly a dime a dozen. The run rampant in the movie industry, and seemingly more so in the superhero genre. You can just look back at the past year and one film, Avengers: Endgame, to look at all the countless rumors that permeated the internet. And, for every rumor that turned out to be true, there were probably 1,000 that were false. It’s hard to trust “anonymous sources” and the “twitter insiders” who pump out tons of rumors, then quickly delete any of the ones that get proven false. But, rumors are a part of our culture, and…

Avengers: Endgame has been dominating the box office, steadily climbing towards the number one spot of all time. And, it did this by delivering an incredible story that was full of surprises, closures, and future openings. So many moments were awe inspiring, like Captain America wielding Mjolnir, the return of the snapped heroes, Captain Marvel’s arrival, and the words we’ve been waiting 11 years for, “Avengers Assemble!” But, there is one moment in particular that not only was cheer inducing, but possibly foreshadowed the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That moment was the impromptu formation of A Force. A…

If you look at the insane amount of success that Marvel Studios has had with the juggernaut that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s almost impossible to wrap one’s head around. As of right now, the MCU has made over 21 billion dollars at the box office. That doesn’t include tie in merchandise or home sales. But, there was a time when most of Hollywood thought that a superhero movie would never work. That all changed, however, with the success of the X-Men movie franchise. However, there is actually a successful Marvel franchise that predates the Merry Mutants, one that…

John Wick is in a tough spot as he heads into the third chapter of his story, Parabellum. However, as the film opens up with a chance to possibly dethrone the juggernaut that is Endgame at the box office, we’re seeing the possibility of a Wick-iverse. Talks of a Continental spin off tv show have been in the works for a while now, and, it would now seem that they are working on John Wick 4. While doing an “Ask Me Anything” Q& A session on Reddit, Director Chad Stahelski started off with a slightly vague answer as to whether…
