Oscar nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe was asked in a recent interview with Variety what superhero she’d most like to play, and after throwing out names like Superman and Amanda Waller, she eventually settled on one. Batman. Because who wouldn’t want to be Batman, right? Well, Sidibe had a few different reasons as to why she’d want to play the iconic DC character: “Batman doesn’t have any superpowers. He’s not an alien, he’s a straight up human who happens to be rich. He’s like Super Privileged Man. He’s like White Privilege Man. But he’s got all these tools, and a super dark sense…

Marvel Comics have taken quite a few jabs at Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they’ve done it – yet again.

If you’re familiar with ‘Weird Trailers’ – then you probably already know what you’re getting yourself into.

A few months back, we reported on a sequel to the 1999 film Deep Blue Sea, that never happened. From the sounds of it, it would have been insane, according to director Jack Perez: “What they were interested in was keeping the theme of shark experimentation. The script is about this scientific research ship that is seized by Somali pirates, and a team of Navy SEALs have to go in and take them out. The whole ship is basically a gigantic floating laboratory, with a maze of tunnels that the sharks can travel through that open up into tanks. My…

Though Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees have all but disappeared over the past few years (nearly a decade now), Chucky seems to be hitting his stride, as he has another film coming out this year in Cult of Chucky.

In a recent interview, Marvel’s Kevin Feige was asked about when we could potentially see it, and here’s what he had to say: “It’s a good question. I’m not sure.

There has been a bit of confusion as of late regarding Sony and Marvel’s movie partnership. At one point, Sony President Amy Pascal said that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man could appear in the upcoming Venom solo film (being made by Sony): “Both movies will all take place in the world that we’re now creating for Peter Parker. I mean, they’ll be adjuncts to it, there may be different locations, but it will still all be in the same world and they will be connected to each other. There’s a chance. There’s always a chance.” To which Marvel’s Kevin Feige came out and…

Just last week, we reported the surprising news that actor Daniel Day-Lewis was done with acting. There weren’t many details, aside from this statement from his publicist: “Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor. He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years. This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject. ” Well, now, according to The New York Post, the actor has some pretty random plans for his life now that he’s done with acting.

One popular character that Marvel has yet to use since they’ve gained the rights? Blade. There could be a few reasons why they’ve elected not to bring back the character. Given the nature of the current films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an R-Rated character like Blade wouldn’t really fit into their plans. The character is universally known, thanks to the success of the Wesley Snipes lead films back in the 90’s and early 2000’s, but some honestly don’t even know that he’s a Marvel character. You could also argue that it’d be better for them to give him his…
