Earlier today, the Defenders Facebook page was changed to NX, which is a brand that Netflix plans on ushering in as their geek-friendly division of content. Yes, rather than leaving the Defenders Facebook page the way it was, they completely rebranded it to promote new content that people who follow the page don’t necessarily want to see. The comments section is full of backlash, prompting the company to (sort of) release a statement: Which prompted more backlash, as seen by a sample of some of the comments: Twitter also had a similar message: Watch to the end, trust me. pic.twitter.com/khCvqfvx4o…

The upcoming Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix is an interesting one, and one that many fans are sure about. On one hand it’s produced by Martin Scorsese – but on the other hand, WB hasn’t exactly had the best results with DC Comics movies. Either way, we now have our first look at Phoenix as the character – and it’s definitely going to be talked about: Todd Phillips has shared our first look at Joaquin Phoenix as “Arthur” aka the #Joker pic.twitter.com/u3Z6AWxEpk — Rotten Tomatoes (@RottenTomatoes) September 16, 2018 First photos of Joaquin Phoenix in ‘The Joker’.

Matt Hardy, or how he’s referred to in WWE now, Woken Matt Hardy, has officially announced his retirement from in-ring competition in wrestling. It’s not exactly surprising given the type of brutal punishment the wrestler took over the years, but it does bring an end to a very short run in his return to WWE. In the video below, Hardy says “it’s time go home”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8_a4nUlUqU In a tweet, he said to support Bray Wyatt moving forward: Thanks for the massive love tonight, #WWECorpusChristi.. I fulfilled my final advertised live event commitment. Please support my partner, @WWEBrayWyatt, going forward. He’s…

The upcoming Venom movie will officially be rated PG-13, and many fans are disappointed with that news, including myself. That’s not to say that the film still couldn’t be a good movie, as there are plenty of good PG-13 movies, but this film has been hyping itself up to be R-Rated, and launch the darker Sony Marvel Universe. That apparently isn’t the case – and we now know what exactly the film will carry that rating. Venom has been rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for language. It’s been said that the main reason Sony…

Captain Marvel is currently a trending topic, because it’s the next Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and fans are eagerly awaiting the film’s first trailer following the first look we were given last week. Apparently, it won’t be too long, as a new rumor suggests we’re getting it next week! Post about the Captain Marvel trailer is being removed at the request of Disney.

Sony’s upcoming Venom movie is a pretty highly anticipated one, as many fans are wondering just how it’s going to turn out. Trailers have been pretty good, and many have hoped that it will be Rated R – like was initially hinted at. If you were one of those fans hoping for that, we have bad news for you. Venom has officially been rated PG-13. Yep, that’s right. Sony’s film that was allegedly supposed to be a horror film in the vein of John Carpenter and David Cronenberg has gone the safe route – in order to potentially crossover with…

Earlier today, a report was released by THR stating that Henry Cavill was leaving the role of Superman, followed by a report that Ben Affleck was leaving the role of Batman following Cavill’s exit. Cavill’s manager has taken to Twitter to seemingly deny this report: Be peaceful, the cape is still in his closet. @wbpictures has been and continues to be our partners as they evolve the DC Universe. Anticipate a WB statement later today. — Dany Garcia (@DanyGarciaCo) September 12, 2018 The official statement from WB has been released, saying: “While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming…

Earlier today, Henry Cavill was said to be leaving the role of Superman, and now, in a little more unsurprising news, it’s being reported that Batman actor Ben Affleck could soon follow by leaving as well – unwelcome news for fans who enjoyed his portrayal of the iconic caped crusader – including yours truly. *Update* A new tweet from Cavill’s manager says that the actor is not leaving Superman – WB has released a statement: “While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we’ve always had great respect for and a great relationship with Henry Cavill, and…

Following the news that Henry Cavill is likely done as Superman, a new report has emerged with a potential replacement for the role – and it’s probably not someone you’d initially think of in Michael B. Jordan. The actor has been in two Marvel films to date, playing Johnny Storm in 2015’s Fantastic Four, and playing Killmonger in this year’s Black Panther. *Update* A new tweet from Cavill’s manager says that the actor is not leaving Superman – WB has released a statement: “While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we’ve always had great respect for and a…

Though they’re not all critically acclaimed, the X-Men movies have a big following, and make a ton of money at the box office. Dark Phoenix is having problems, and it’s pretty much guaranteed that the franchise will be getting a reboot after the Disney/FOX deal was recently completed. If that doesn’t happen, however, one cast member will probably not be returning. Rogue actress Anna Paquin. In an interview with Variety, the actress said: “If there was a way that it made sense for my character to be in the world, of course. I feel like that’s my film family, because…
