After taking care of the existential threat of Thanos in the “Infinity Saga,” the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has revolved around the expansion of the multiverse. Between “Avengers: Endgame,” “Loki,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home " and now this weekend’s release of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” one thing has been made abundantly clear: the multiverse isn’t going anywhere anytime soon....

Where Gotham goes from here Warner Bros This is why it may be for the best that “The Batman” eschews realism in exchange for a more blatantly gothic, almost mystical version of Gotham. As much as Matt Reeves’ new Batman movie has a reputation for being dark and gritty like the Nolan films, it goes about it in a way that feels like much more of an embrace of a lot of the Batman comics....

The Alternate Robin Universe Warner Bros. Last year’s DC FanDome event confirmed that the DCEU is going the multiverse route with “The Flash,” similar to what we just saw the Marvel Cinematic Universe do in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Keaton’s voice and the back of his Bat-ears were on prominent display in the first teaser for “The Flash,” which featured him saying, “You can go anywhere, right? Any timeline? Any universe?...

Better Call Saul Season 6 Teaser: At Home With Gus Fring AMC By Jeremy Mathai/Feb. 11, 2022 10:07 am EST When it comes to great television shows, doesn’t the fact that we have so many options to pick from these days feel like both a blessing and a curse?

Bruce Willis Joined The Fifth Element In The Most Bruce Willis Way Possible Buena Vista International By Jenna Busch/April 18, 2022 2:08 pm EST “The Fifth Element” is one of those sci-fi films that defined the modern iteration of the genre. Even if you’ve never watched it, you’ve surely seen people cosplaying as Milla Jovovich’s Leeloo, the opera singer Plavalaguna (Maïwenn Le Besco), Chris Tucker’s Ruby Rhod, Gary Oldman’s Zorg, or Bruce Willis’ Korben Dallas at conventions....

Chris Hemsworth Teases A Peaceful, Not-At-All Violent Scene In Extraction 2 Netflix By Jenna Busch/March 22, 2022 9:29 am EST Chris Hemsworth is returning to the role of Tyler Rake, the black ops mercenary from “Extraction.” The sequel wasn’t an easy thing to explain, as Tyler was shot and had fallen off a huge bridge into the river at the end of the first film. But miraculously, he didn’t die. When you have the most watched film to date on Netflix (as of April 2020), you find a way to survive....

Cobra Kai Season 4 Finally Told Us What Happened To Miguel’s Dad Netflix By Jenna Busch/Dec. 31, 2021 2:46 pm EST Throughout “Cobra Kai,” I’ve come to love Miguel (Xolo Maridueña). I’m not the only one. Miguel’s dad may be out of the picture, but his sensei, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), and his girlfriend’s father/other sensei, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), both care deeply about him. So much, in fact, that it causes fights between them....

Every Major Cameo In Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, Ranked Marvel Studios By Ethan Anderton/May 6, 2022 12:30 pm EST After “Spider-Man: No Way Home” delivered multiverse mayhem that brought together the heroes and villains of the “Spider-Man” film franchises that came before it, anticipation was high for what kind of shenanigans were in store for “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” Not only does the Marvel Studios title clearly state that we’ll be caught up in the multiverse yet again, but the marketing teased the identities of those who make up the mysterious organization known as The Illuminati....

In From The Cold Teaser: A Super-Powered Former Russian Spy Fights Back Netflix By Shania Russell/Jan. 28, 2022 5:47 pm EST The streaming TV landscape is a wild place: Sometimes new series arrive after months of anticipation, and other times they appear out of thin air. This week in “shows you didn’t know were coming and might need the weekend to binge,” we present “In From The Cold.” If you’ve been aching to fill that “The Americans” void since the FX series ended in 2018, this might just be the fix you’re looking for....

It Sounds Like Ms. Marvel Will Be More Family-Friendly Than Other Marvel Shows Marvel Studios By Danielle Ryan/April 4, 2022 4:11 pm EST The Marvel Cinematic universe is intended for families to enjoy together, but some of the PG-13 films and TV-14 shows are just too much for younger audiences. Shows like “Hawkeye” and “Moon Knight,” each with depictions of realistic violence and some truly terrifying themes, aren’t exactly kid-friendly, so some families with younger children might be feeling left out....

The trailer for Alex Garland’s Men If only the Academy Awards actually appreciated horror movies, because Jessie Buckley is continuing to prove why she’s one of the best performers currently in the game.
