One prominent Marvel character that was noticeably absent from Captain America: Civil war was Thor. According to a new report from /Film, here’s why: “For all the fans who have been wondering why Thor wasn’t around to get involved with the skirmish in Captain America: Civil War, the events of Thor: Ragnarok hold the answer. When we catch up with Thor at the beginning of the movie, he’s been away on his own for two years, but he hasn’t been sulking. Instead, he’s been trying to track down the puppet master behind some of the recent near-world-ending events, and looking…

The Ren & Stimpy Show is one of the most iconic shows of the 1990’s. It’s unique humor was something that we don’t see in any kids cartoons today. What many fans don’t know, however, is that there’s also a unique story behind the show itself. That’s going to change though – with the release of an all new documentary – a synopsis of which you can read below (trailer also linked below): The independent, feature length documentary, Happy Happy, Joy Joy – The Ren & Stimpy Story, now in post-production, reveals the rise and fall—and longstanding influence—of a groundbreaking,…

If you thought the different forms that Pennywise the Clown took in the latest IT movie were pretty insane – it turns out it could have been even more insane. In a new interview with Ain’t It Cool, director Andy Muschietti revealed that we could have seen the character take the form of Freddy Krueger: “Obviously we considered that for a bit, but I wasn’t too interested in bringing Freddy Krueger into the mix,” Muschietti told the site. “I love the story and I love how Stephen King basically makes a portrait of childhood in the ’50s. He’s very genuine…

The upcoming Venom movie starring Tom Hardy is one that fans will probably go out and see – but aren’t as excited due to it not being set within the Marvel Cinematic Unvierse. According to a new report from Omega Underground, however, fans that do plan on seeing the film will have to wait, as filming has been delayed until October 23rd. It was initially supposed to begin on September 1st. When asked about the film being included in the MCU, Marvel’s Kevin Feige gave a very direct answer back in June: “No,” he started. “No, I think they’re focusing…

It didn’t take Disney long to find a replacement director for Star Wars: Episode IX, as StarWars.com has revealed that J.J. Abrams will write and direct the film: “J.J. Abrams to Write and Direct Star Wars: Episode IX. J.J. Abrams, who launched a new era of Star Wars with The Force Awakens in 2015, is returning to complete the sequel trilogy as writer and director of Star Wars: Episode IX.

It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen Michael Myers on the big screen. He was last featured in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II back in 2009, but by all accounts, that film was absolute garbage. It was announced back in February that David Gordon Green and Danny McBride would be rebooting the film, then later confirmed that the movie would be a sequel – not a reboot. Now, it appears that we have a target release date (via Business Insider) for the film – and it’s all too fitting: Planning to shoot this fall with an eye on a Halloween…

For those of you who don’t know, we very nearly got a Tim Burton directed ‘Superman’ film starring Nicolas Cage in the 90’s. The film ultimately didn’t happen, despite $50 million being spent on the production. It’s a shame because based on the crazy behind the scenes stories, it would have been one of the most amazing films of the 90’s. Whether or not that’s good or bad, is unknown. While speaking to EW in a recent interview, Cage had some pretty interesting things to say about the film: “I would offer that the movie that Tim and I would…

Captain Marvel starring Brie Larson is one of the most anticipated upcoming Marvel films and is expected to be unlike any of the other Marvel Cinematic Universe films to date. Larson stated in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter that she loves working for Marvel: “That’s one of the things that I’m so impressed with at Marvel – is that although they are this big company, at the same time their stories are really character driven and they care a lot about the journey of these characters and they understand that these films are a metaphor for the things…

For the most part, Marvel’s timeline within the Marvel Cinematic Universe is pretty easy to follow. It’s not as hard to follow, as say, Bryan Singer’s X-Men films. Then again, most things aren’t. Thor: Ragnarok may change that, though. In a recent interview with ComicBook, executive producer of Thor: Ragnarok Brad Winderbaum revealed that things could become more confusing with the film’s release: “It’s not like, five minutes after Ultron ends we start this movie. It’s a couple years later,” Winderbaum said. “In the timeline of the MCU, things kind of happen on top of each other, especially now in Phase Three.…

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was the most talked about film of 2016, and can be found being dissected in a comment section by angry fans pretty much anywhere on the internet. One thing that most fans can agree on, however, is Ben Affleck’s Batman was pretty great. Kevin Conroy recently revealed to ComicBook that he enjoyed Affleck’s performance: “I love what Ben Affleck did with the role. I think he actually got the balance of the Bruce Wayne character and the Batman character kind of better than a lot of the live-action have done. I’m a great admirer…
