Multiverse? X-Men powers? Magic? 20th Century Studios It’s not completely out of the realm of possibility for characters to come back from the dead in the world of Marvel, after all, that’s the entire plot of “Avengers: Endgame.” As “Deadpool 2” wasn’t technically part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the return of Shatterstar in “Deadpool 3” might be the start of how the characters will be incorporated into the MCU. The appearance of Wolverine is already a start at getting the “X-Men” characters involved following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Studios, so it wouldn’t be impossible for one of the fellow mutants to use their powers to bring him back....

Miss Congeniality Could Have Made Hugh Jackman The Love Interest For Sandra Bullock Warner Bros. / 20th Century Studios By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 28, 2022 10:48 am EST Over 20 years later, it’s next to impossible not to hear Sandra Bullock’s singsong teasing of “You think I’m gorgeous, you want to kiiiiiiss me, you want to huuuuug me, you want to looooove me, you want to smoooch me,” and not immediately picture the bashful face of Benjamin Bratt....

The 16 Best Ewan McGregor Movies, Ranked Columbia Pictures By Molly Turner/Oct. 21, 2022 6:17 pm EST Few movie stars maintain character actor quality throughout their careers. Perhaps Ewan McGregor’s Scottish underdog background lends itself to his natural ability to embody nearly every type of character with winsome charm and wit. While he’s arguably best known for portraying legendary Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars franchise, McGregor’s career is far more than studio tentpole films....

Six seasons and (finally) a movie NBC Pinch yourselves, “Community” fans! We’re about to get more outrageous Dean Pelton outfits, a heaping dose of meta satire, maybe a return visit to the darkest timeline, and hopefully more of everyone’s favorite side characters Starburns, Magnitude, and even the Human Being mascot. The consistently brilliant, hilarious, and experimental sitcom series (we don’t talk about the gas leak season, mind you) has been resurrected over seven years after the Dan Harmon-created show left the airwaves....

A fanatical Christian that’s equally misogynist, Powell roams the Great Depression Ohio valley, marrying widows before robbing them of both of their largesse and lives....

What story do visual effects tell? Matt Grace / Prime Video “You can do everything with visual effects right now,” Bayona told the outlet, explaining that it’s worth asking oneself what story the visual effects are trying to tell. “I mean, if you can imagine, you can do it. The thing is that what are you looking for with that visual effect?” The filmmaker, who helmed the first two episodes of “The Rings of Power,” already has an impressive track record when it comes to human stories enhanced by VFX: in 2012, his film “The Impossible” was praised for creating an on-screen tsunami with a mix of practical and digital effects....

Though we have more than enough evidence to officially declare the man a psychopath, Netflix is delving back into the psyche of Penn Badgley’s Joe, the lovestruck serial killer at the center of their addictively binge-able series, “You....

Actors We Wish Had Been Cast In Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man Sony Pictures By Sandy Schaefer/July 19, 2022 2:00 pm EST The modern superhero movie renaissance is a lot like the Disney Renaissance in that it’s open to debate which film really kicked it off. Indeed, many would be quick to praise “Blade” and “The Great Mouse Detective” as the unsung heroes of these respective movements — and not just because they both feature key fight scenes set at sordid adult establishments, either....

Beyond Pandora Paramount Pictures While most studios are wisely avoiding sending major tentpoles up against the kaiju that is a new James Cameron movie, the temptation of the holiday box office did draw out a few competitors. “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” opened on Wednesday and has since grossed $26.9 million domestically and slightly more internationally, for a worldwide total of $57.2 million so far (per Variety). The animated sequel has been a hit with critics, landing a Rotten Tomatoes score of 95% and an “A” CinemaScore, so despite a smallish opening weekend it could continue to draw family audiences steadily over the next couple of months....

Brian Tyree Henry Used His Understated Performance In Causeway To Reconcile His Own Grief [Exclusive Interview] Apple TV+ By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 30, 2022 3:00 pm EST “Causeway” has been getting plenty of awards season attention, largely thanks to the fantastic performances by Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry. Directed by theater and TV director turned filmmaker Lila Neugebauer, the film tells the story of Lynsey (Lawrence), a soldier who has arrived back in her New Orleans home after suffering a traumatic brain injury while on duty in Afghanistan....

‘It’s not a high concept, arthouse, preachy film for upper middle class intellectuals’ Alcove Entertainment I was at the premiere here at the festival. The crowd was so great, so reactive. How did that feel? This is the right place to show this film, because it’s a crowd pleaser. It’s not a high concept, arthouse, preachy film for upper middle class intellectuals to talk about and signal their wokeness through caring about other people’s misery....

Could We Ever See A Sequel To Get Out? Universal Pictures By Sandy Schaefer/July 19, 2022 1:34 pm EST Five years into his career as a director, Jordan Peele has firmly established himself as a unique and formidable talent whose horror films are never quite what you expect going in. For as much as certain motifs have begun to emerge in his work — from razor-edged comedy to unnerving imagery that burrows deep into your memory — Peele’s movies have so far proven too bold and original to fit neatly into square boxes....

Every Daniel Kaluuya Movie Ranked Worst To Best Universal Pictures By Larry Fried/Aug. 3, 2022 8:23 pm EST The following article contains spoilers for all of Daniel Kaluuya’s films, including “Nope.” Daniel Kaluuya is just getting started. Sure, he may already be a pop culture icon thanks to breakthrough performances in “Black Mirror” and “Get Out,” but the London-born actor is only 33 years old. That’s easy to forget given his illustrious resume — he’s already collaborated with prolific directors, has a supporting role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and even won an Oscar — but really, he still has an entire career ahead of him....

Gremlins Director Joe Dante Is Not A Fan Of Grogu Disney+ By Jenna Busch/July 14, 2022 9:08 pm EST While a good chunk of the world fell in love with a little green alien from an unnamed “Star Wars” species in “The Mandalorian,” “Gremlins” director Joe Dante isn’t one of them. He’s got a reason for not being a fan, though, and it’s questionable. If you’ve never seen “Gremlins” — and why the hell not?...

Harrison Ford Says Indy Is ‘At The End Of His Journey’ In Indiana Jones 5 Lucasfilm By Witney Seibold/Nov. 18, 2022 7:34 pm EST Steven Spielberg’s first Indiana Jones movie, “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” was released in the summer of 1981, and further codified the director as one of his generation’s preeminent hitmakers. “Raiders” — like “Star Wars” before it — was based explicitly on low-budget adventure serials that Spielberg and story writer George Lucas watched as kids....

Freaks (1932) Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer After the success of “Dracula” in 1931, director Tod Browning was granted leeway to pursue a passion project he had longed dreamed about. Browning was always enamored of carnivals and traveling circuses and, at age 16, ran away from home to work in one. Yes, people did indeed run away and join the circus. For several years, he worked as a barker, a contortionist, and a even performed a live burial act wherein he billed himself as The Living Hypnotic Corpse....

Idris Elba’s Daughter Didn’t Land Beast Because ‘Their Chemistry Wasn’t Right’ Universal Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 19, 2022 12:37 pm EST There are countless creative and business-related factors that go into the casting of actors in major motion pictures, much of which boils down to one straightforward but extremely important concept: chemistry.

Kirk Douglas Was Thankful Stanley Kubrick Stuck To His Guns With Paths Of Glory United Artists By Devin Meenan/Aug. 20, 2022 6:40 pm EST Francois Truffaut famously said, “There’s no such thing as an anti-war film.” But if there’s a counter-argument, it’s Stanley Kubrick’s 1957 “Paths of Glory.” Contrary to its title, the film depicts battle as anything but glorious. Set in France during World War 1, the film stars Kirk Douglas as Colonel Dax....
