The acquisition of Fox by Disney was industry-shattering in several facets, especially in the world of superheroes. Now having the X-Men and Fantastic Four under their control, longtime Marvel producer Kevin Feige is working out a plan to integrate these properties into the MCU. While there’s still a lot unknown about Feige’s plans with these properties, it appears that an old-time X-Men favorite was considered for a potential return to the series. That actor is Patrick Stewart, who has been active in the press with the upcoming release of a Picard TV series. In an interview with Digital Spy, Stewart discussed meeting…

Bringing an old franchise back from the dead is always a risky proposition. For every Halloween (2018) that captures the magic of the original brand in a fresh new package, there’s a Rambo: Last Blood, a project that I think fails to understand what made its core entries work. After a 17 year break, the Bad Boys brand is back on the big screen with Bad Boys for Life, a welcomed revamp that shines with the series’ bold confidence while adding a surprisingly assured dramatic backbone. Bad Boys for Life follows the misadventures of Mike Lowery (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence), two detectives with…

The horror genre is at an all-time high in terms of popularity and content. With studios realizing the inexpensive risk that horror projects often entail, there has been a drove of horror success stories that have gone on to inspire their own series, such as The Purge and Paranormal Activity. The same could be the case for Don’t Breathe, the 2016 sleeper hit that is now getting its own sequel. Entitled Don’t Breathe Again, this sequel will see the return of Stephen Lang as The Blind Man, who is dealing with violent guests who look to make him pay for his past crimes. One of the…

Robert Downey Jr. has enjoyed a career renaissance since entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Iron Man, fitting the role of the bold and brash Tony Stark like a glove. Along with that role, Downey Jr. also spearheaded a successful reboot of the Sherlock Holmes franchise as well as gaining an Oscar nomination for his controversial role in Tropic Thunder. Despite the latter film coming out over a decade ago, the conversation around it still lingers today. Sitting down for an episode on the Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan asked Downey Jr. about his role in Tropic Thunder and his thought process going into it. Here…

After completing his arc as Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame, many wondered where Robert Downey Jr. would go with his prosperous career. To the surprise of some, Downey’s first post-Avengers project is Dolittle (which he not only stars in, but also produced with his wife), a reboot of the Dr. Dolittle brand that’s more akin to Rex Harrison’s adventurous original than Eddie Murphy’s celebrated comedic revamp. Dolittle follows Dr. John Dolittle (Downey Jr), a gifted man who can talk and connect with animals. After years in hiding due to his wife’s death, Dolittle is summoned in the Queen’s interest to find a cure alongside…

Growing for a quirky independent helmer to one of the most acclaimed young voices in the industry, Taika Waititi has risen to superstardom in the past few years. His blockbuster debut Thor Ragnarok is regarded as one of the MCU’s best and most inventive projects, while his latest writing/directing venture Jojo Rabbit was nominated for several Academy Awards, including Best Picture. While Waititi has been attached to many promising projects, he may be working on his biggest project yet with a potential Star Wars film. In an exclusive report from TheHollywoodReporter, it seems that Disney has reached out to the filmmaker on working on a future Star…

After all the drama that went underway between Sony and Marvel over the rights of Spider-Man, there hasn’t been much in terms of speculation about the latest Spider-Man entry. As the last entry in the partnership between the two sides, Spider-Man 3 presents some interesting opportunities in closing out the character’s MCU ties while continuing Tom Holland’s run in Sony’s new superhero universe. According to ComicBook, it appears that Spider-Man 3 will begin production this summer, set to shoot in Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, and Iceland. The latter location is perhaps the most intriguing, with some believing that Kraven the Hunter could…

Amazon Prime may not get the attention of Netflix or Hulu, but they have built perhaps the most robust original content library out of any streaming service. Along with producing Oscar-nominated films, TV series like The Boys and Jack Ryan have been strong success stories for their brand. Continuing to dip their toe in the action genre, Amazon is now setting their sights on bringing Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series to life on the small screen. While there is no details yet as to who will be involved or when it will be released, The Hollywood Reporter announced that the first season will be based…

Original movie franchises are a rarity in contemporary cinema, especially those that experience the exponential growth of John Wick. While each of the three films enjoyed critical success, the trilogy became one of the few to gross significantly more with each entry, with the latest entry John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum earning 326 million dollars worldwide compared to the original’s 89 million dollars take. With that level of growth, it’s no surprise that a spin-off series entitled The Continental is on its way. There has not been much word about The Continental since its announcement last year, with Lionsgate set to release the series on…

It’s been a while since Marvel fans have gotten to see their favorite heroes on the big screen, with the studio typically releasing a superhero venture in the winter to hold fans over. This year though, Marvel fans have to wait until May to see Black Widow take center stage on the big screen for the first time. Set before her heartbreaking death in Avengers: Endgame, this prequel will grant fans a long-awaited intimate look at one of Marvel’s favorite heroes. During the College Football Championship last night, Marvel released a new look at the superhero espionage caper, which gives fans their first…
