Silverio/Dec. 19, 2022 7:01 am EST When you think of the biggest and baddest names in the Marvel Universe, you’ve probably got a venerable murders’ row of marquee villains in mind already.

The Most Powerful X-Men Villains Ranked By Joe Garza/July 28, 2022 6:03 pm EST The original “X-Men” from 2000 was one of the first superhero films to take the comic book source material seriously, elevating the conflict of people born with superpowers into something more than just “people in colorful spandex punching each other.” Because of its strong reviews and box office success, it was a no-brainer that it should lead to further sequels and spinoffs, resulting in a massive franchise that lasted for nearly 20 years....

In “Adrift,” Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) is adrift at sea. In “The Great Wave,” Míriel (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) dreamt of a great wave. Sure, most of the show’s titles also have more metaphorical double meanings, but on the surface, they’ve been quite obvious....

Uncharted Director Ruben Fleischer Is Getting Tricky With Now You See Me 3 Lionsgate By Erin Brady/Sept. 29, 2022 6:40 pm EST While I’m still mad that they didn’t name the 2016 “Now You See Me” sequel “Now You Don’t,” there’s a chance they’ll be able to rectify that mistake. That’s because a new movie in the unlikely franchise is finally getting off the ground thanks to “Uncharted” director Ruben Fleischer....

Jordan Peele Had An Intriguing Original Title For Nope Universal Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/July 15, 2022 3:37 pm EST Having produced nothing but immensely compelling stories only a few years into his directing career, it may be tempting to try and find a direct, contemporary comparison to Jordan Peele’s current trajectory as a filmmaker. Steven Spielberg? M. Night Shyamalan? Nia DaCosta? Such efforts would be a waste, however. Between “Get Out,” “Us,” and from what we’ve seen so far from the upcoming “Nope,” Peele surely must be considered in a league of his own....

The biggest, baddest lizard HBO If given enough room, dragons continue to keep growing, and Vhagar has had more than a century and a half and plenty of room to grow. In the first novel of George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, Tyrion Lannister describes Vhagar as being so large that you could ride a horse down her throat. At the time of “House of the Dragon,” she is the oldest and largest dragon in the known world, making her a very powerful weapon....

That someone is Mabel, and her new friend is Alice (Cara Delevingne), and they’re sharing a tender phone call, even as Mabel continues sneaking around the passages of the Arconia, while Alice talks about her past as a “posh girl paid to party” and how she’s now a fancy artiste in New York.

Oppenheimer Was A Natural Fit For Cillian Murphy After Peaky Blinders Netflix By Jeremy Smith/Aug. 31, 2022 2:13 pm EST There was a time when it seemed like Cillian Murphy was destined for movie superstardom. The Irish actor was mesmerizing in early-2000s films like “28 Days Later,” “Batman Begins,” “Red Eye” and “Breakfast on Pluto.” But while he’s remained busy over the years, Hollywood just couldn’t figure out what to do with him, so he wound up bouncing from leads to supporting roles for a bit until he found a role that fit him like a tweed suit in Tommy Shelby, the crime boss of “Peaky Blinders....

Dead-letter perfect Paramount In the NPR interview, Patrick Stewart began by pointing out how different playing Picard is now in practical terms. It’s not as easy to memorize lines at age 79 than it was at age 47. A workweek now has a much more structured layout, and Stewart, a professional, wants to make sure at least two of his five days are as good as can be. The rest of the week will also go well, but he prefers to start strong: “Well, learning lines is a bigger challenge than it used to be....
