Benedict Wong Had A Personal Reason For Wanting A Role In Doctor Strange Marvel Studios By Ben F. Silverio/May 2, 2022 1:00 pm EST One of the best characters in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is Wong. This may sound like a weird thing to say, especially to long-time fans that know the character’s comic book history, but it’s true. With each appearance from “Doctor Strange” in early Phase Three to the recent hit “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” Benedict Wong’s Master of the Mystic Arts and current Sorcerer Supreme has carved out a very special place in our hearts as he kicks major ass, takes no guff from nobody (particularly Dr....

Cobra Kai Creators Are Open To Casting Number One Fan Andrew Garfield In The Series IFC Films By Valerie Ettenhofer/Dec. 28, 2021 9:24 am EST Isn’t it great to have Andrew Garfield in the news again?

How Lightyear Fits Into The Toy Story Timeline Pixar By Rafael Motamayor/April 21, 2022 2:30 pm EST The biggest question surrounding the upcoming Pixar film “Lightyear” is how exactly it fits into the larger “Toy Story” franchise. The film is set to tell the story of Buzz Lightyear, primarily known as the toy that became young Andy’s obsession before he became frenemies with Sheriff Woody. What makes this complicated is that we already know the story of Buzz Lightyear, as it was told in the great movie and series “Buzz Lightyear of Star Command” which somehow is still not on Disney+....

How Tom Holland’s Failed James Bond Pitch Led To His Role In Uncharted Sony By Sandy Schaefer/Jan. 6, 2022 12:51 pm EST The “Uncharted” movie has changed dramatically since it was first announced what feels like a lifetime ago. (In reality, it was in 2008, so same difference.) Early on, David O. Russell was set to direct the movie, with Mark Wahlberg starring as Nathan Drake in a re-imagining of the “Uncharted” video games that supposedly would’ve featured a dysfunctional family at its core, like so many of Russell’s other films....

John Williams Had A Huge Influence On Natalie Holt’s Score For Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+/Lucasfilm By Sandy Schaefer/May 5, 2022 11:27 am EST For a long time, it was impossible to separate John Williams’ virtuoso scores from the “Star Wars” franchise. Over the last 15 years, however, things have slowly begun to change on that front. It began with Kevin Kiner’s first-rate work on the animated TV series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels,” both of which honor Williams’ classical orchestral style while bringing their own flavor to the table....

‘Being bad feels pretty good’ Universal Pictures In reality, Judd Nelson was nothing like bad boy Bender. He was born to two Harvard-educated, well-to-do parents, attended a swanky prep school, and studied philosophy at one of the nation’s top liberal art colleges, Haverford College. He dropped out of Haverford to attend The Stella Adler Conservatory, where he studied acting full time. The methods he learned here would be both a blessing and a curse for Hughes....

Mad Max: Fury Road Book Reveals Details Of Charlize Theron And Tom Hardy’s Fiery On-Set Feud Warner Bros. By Debopriyaa Dutta/Feb. 23, 2022 11:20 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Not all was well on the set of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” at least according to the film’s oral history book, “Blood, Sweat & Chrome,” which is currently available for purchase. The book in question takes readers on a wild ride as it details the vivid experiences that comprised the filming process of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” right from its outlandish casting to astonishing behind-the-scenes facts that almost marred the film....

Rebel Moon Concept Art VERO/Netflix The plan is for Snyder to direct “Rebel Moon” from a script he co-wrote with Shay Hatten (“Army of the Dead”) and Kurt Johnstad (“300”), with “Kingsman” and “The Mummy” reboot alum Sofia Boutella starring. In terms of its story, the movie is said to focus on a young woman (Boutella) who seeks out warriors from nearby planets to protect her peaceful home colony from an army of vicious invaders (which, on a side note, may be the sinister-looking characters featured in this artwork)....

More time is needed to ease into the Spider-Verse Sony Pictures The concept of more than one Spider-Man existing across the multiverse was introduced way before the spectacle of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” as 2018’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” dived into the notion with remarkable success. The premise of a Spider-Men crossover was first conceived by comic book writer Dan Slott, and the concept expanded into alternate versions of Spider-Man coming together for a greater cause....

The Star Wars universe needs a fresh direction Disney+ While “Star Wars” as a franchise does have its moments of humor (some intentional, some not — the Prequels in particular are meme fodder), the overall tone of the franchise is serious, even somber. As someone who is great at balancing serious events with outrageous humor, Waititi is the perfect candidate to direct a “Star Wars” film that breaks free from nostalgia trappings to offer something entirely new (and funny)....

Tekken: Bloodline Teaser: Power Is Everything Netflix By Deshawn “DeLa Doll” Thomas/March 20, 2022 11:58 am EST In one of the better, less inflammatory announcements that Netflix has made lately, the streaming platform recently heralded the impending release of an anime series based on the bestselling “Tekken” video game franchise with a promising new trailer. Titled “Tekken: Bloodline,” the anime is set to be released sometime this year, and it looks like it’s going to be filled with the flying fists and awesome action that fans of the fighting games have come to know and love — with the added bonus of not having to memorize complex combo moves or deal with your bestie being a sore loser because they were no match for the digital hands you threw....

The Batman Star Robert Pattinson Says Batman Is A ‘Freak’ Engaging In ‘Bad Self-Therapy’ Warner Bros. By Debopriyaa Dutta/Jan. 31, 2022 12:29 pm EST Robert Pattinson has taken on a wide variety of roles over the course of his career, from playing a sparkly, dubious-looking vampire in the “Twilight” saga to donning the cape of vengeance in Matt Reeves’ upcoming “The Batman,” and everything in between. A major aspect of Pattinson’s allure is, of course, his rather chaotic persona, and often hilarious takes about the shoes of the characters he fills in....

The Thor Plotline That Might Have Compelled Natalie Portman To Return As Jane Foster Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/June 23, 2022 11:04 am EST Everything’s considered a state secret over at Marvel these days.

The Wire’s Most Famous Catchphrase Needed To Be Used Sparingly HBO By Anya Stanley/May 20, 2022 5:44 pm EST You already know. The infamous expletive uttered by the crooked Sen. Clay Davis, played by Isiah Whitlock Jr., added spice to the lawman side of HBO’s “The Wire” series. On the Baltimore-based crime drama, institutions are put under the microscope, and one of the refractions of a broken political system is Whtilock’s politician, said to be loosely based upon Maryland State Senator Larry Young according to journalist William Zorzi’s essay in “The Wire: Truth Be Told....
