Tom Hardy‘s Eddie Brock may be battling the alien symbiote inside himself, but that doesn’t mean he’s lost his sense of humor in the new trailer for Marvel‘s Venom. Brock is a reporter who uncovers some dark work being done by Life Foundation. “I find myself questioning something the government may not be looking at,” he says in the new clip. “I found something really bad. And I have been taken.” Headed […]
A few days ago, The Daily Beast broke a crazy-but-true story about how an ex-cop rigged the McDonald’s Monopoly game and stole millions of dollars. That same day, there was rampant speculation that this was ripe for a Hollywood adaptation, and sure enough a bidding war for the rights to the story ensued. Today, we learn who came out on top: Deadline reports that 20th Century Fox has won the bidding war […]
It’s really nice to be writing a news story about Stan Lee that doesn’t involve accusations of elder abuse, shady financial dealings or his blood being stolen. This much more upbeat bit of news concerns his reaction to the fact that, with The Walt Disney Company’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox, the X-Men and Fantastic Four IPs are going to appear in the MCU. Our intermediary for this comes courtesy of none other than Rob Liefeld, creator of Deadpool and […]
While Warner Bros. may remain adamant that they have no plans to release the fabled Snyder Cut of Justice League, it’s starting to look as if we’ll soon be able to assemble our own version given the amount of stuff that has and continues to leak. Today’s glimpse is especially interesting, as we’ve got a still of Ben Affleck’s Batman/Bruce Wayne and Jeremy Irons’ Alfred having some kind of very serious discussion. While […]
Tom Cruise is in on the joke. The actor’s Twitter bio notes that he’s been “running in movies since 1981,” and indeed it’s what he’s best known for doing onscreen. To mark the release of “Mission: Impossible – Fallout,” the folks at Rotten Tomatoes have put together a study suggesting that, the more Cruise runs in his movies, the better they are. They did so using what sounds like painstaking methodology, counting “every instance of […]
The secret hero of Avengers: Infinity War has been revealed: KISS guitarist Ace Frehley. In a new deleted scene from the Marvel epic, half of the Guardians of the Galaxygo to war over Star-Lord’s need to find inspiration in the hand-jive rhythm of Frehley’s 1978 cover of “New York Groove.” At this point in the film, Teen Groot and Rocket have ventured off with Thor, and the rest of the team has just […]
The death toll in Avengers: Infinity War exceeded all expectations. Sure, we figured Vision would die and perhaps Tony Stark or Steve Rogers if Marvel Studios and Disney were feeling exceptionally cruel. But Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Bucky Barnes and Scarlett Witch?! Pretty much all the Guardians of the Galaxy, too?! And even Spidey? As Nick Fury and Maria Hill collapsed into dust in the post-credits scene, it just felt like one more twist of the knife. But […]
Another year, another San Diego Comic-Con has come and gone. That leaves us with nothing but fond memories and a handful of choice trailers to obsess over. This year’s Comic-Con felt a little light. Marvel Studios and HBO chose not to attend, which meant no fresh looks at Captain Marvel or Game of Thrones, but it wasn’t a total wash. First looks at movies like Aquaman and Shazam gave us […]
Star Trek: Discovery will bring on the franchise's most famous Vulcan for its second season, the cast and crew announced at Comic-Con this week. That makes sense since we now know Captain Christopher Pike will be pairing up with our Discovery crew after their recent time-hop. Executive Producer Alex Kurtzman confirmed Spock would appear when the show comes back in January. But a trailer shown to the crowds at the […]
