Will Jeff Goldblum Appear In Thor: Love And Thunder? Marvel Studios By Debopriyaa Dutta/June 10, 2022 12:01 pm EST Taika Waititi’s highly-anticipated sequel “Thor: Love and Thunder” has a bunch of special cameo roles worth gearing up for already, with some sneaky ones inserted in the trailer (such as The Watcher from “What If…?”). “Love and Thunder” re-introduces Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster as the Mighty Thor, while also exploring Thor’s (Chris Hemsworth) emotional state after the events of “Avengers: Endgame....

Better Call Saul trailer After the glaring lack of any black-and-white flash-forwards during these first 7 episodes of the final season, which would’ve continued the story of “Gene” (a mustached Jimmy in hiding after the events of “Breaking Bad”), the concluding tease for the last half of the season picks up in Jimmy’s apartment once again — though drained of all color and noticeably lacking any dead bodies laying on the floor....

Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers Trailer: The Dynamic Duo Return On Disney+ Disney+ By Shania Russell/April 27, 2022 11:16 am EST “So you’re saying the Rescue Rangers are back?” ’90s kids rejoice — the rescue Rangers have returned! “Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers” is bringing the animated dynamic duo to the modern day, using the “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” playbook to toss us into a world where humans and cartoons live together in semi-harmony....

Darth Vader’s Helmet Design Solved A Practical Problem In The Star Wars Script The shiny polish, the mechanical breathing, the ominous voice, and the mysterious figure within.

It clearly wasn’t what audiences wanted either, with a Rotten Tomatoes critics score of 26 percent and an audience score of 33 percent. According to an interview with Vulture, (via The Wrap), Wright wasn’t happy with the final cut of “The Woman in the Window” because of changes made as it moved through production....

‘He needs to be a threat’ Pixar As the trailer for “Lightyear” showed, the movie is going to introduce a lot of robots, a staple of the sci-fi genre, even before we see a glimpse of Zurg. As director Angus MacLane said: “We’re going to have so many robots you’re going to get sick of robots. And just when you get sick of robots, we’re going to give you one more, we’re going to give you Zurg....

How The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s Luke Kirby Feels About Exploring Lenny Bruce’s Dark Side Prime Video By Michael Boyle/April 18, 2022 10:33 am EST Perhaps one of the most interesting creative decisions in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” was to make the most notable comedian in Midge’s (Rachel Brosnahan) life not a completely fictional character, but an actual real-life comedian from the ’60s. Portrayed by Luke Kirby, the Lenny Bruce of this show tends to pop up once or twice a season to bail Midge out of jail or give her some much-needed advice about the stand-up comedy business....

The highly anticipated indie movie follows an unusual, seemingly bleak plot....

Mixtape Release Date and Where You Can Watch It Netflix “Mixtape” is a Netflix original, so expect to see it on the streamer soon. While an official release date has yet to be announced, the film is slated for December release, arriving just in time for the season of blankets and Kleenex. The movie’s been described as “heartfelt,” which feels like code for “tear-jerker,” so its holiday-adjacent feels very fitting. What is Mixtape?...

Night Sky Trailer: Sissy Spacek And J.K. Simmons Explore A Celestial Mystery Prime Studios By Danielle Ryan/April 22, 2022 4:29 pm EST In anticipation of the series’ debut, Prime Video has dropped a full trailer full of warmth, riddles, and beautiful sci-fi visuals. Is it time to share the secret?

Why it Matters Warner Bros. “Peacemaker” offers a redemption arc — not just for Peacemaker to redeem himself in the eyes of his teammates and the audience, but also to redeem himself in his own eyes. In the early episodes, he beats himself up (both metaphorically and literally) due to the pain he holds inside. He’s starting to change, but still clings to the vestiges of his past with his father because it’s all he knows....

Scream Star Melissa Barrera Has Some Ideas For A Sequel [Interview] Paramount Pictures By Lex Briscuso/March 1, 2022 6:06 pm EST There really is something about Sam. The new lead character of the “Scream” universe, played by “In The Heights” star Melissa Barrera, is a charismatic badass with the smarts and the skills to outwit even the most intricate and diabolical of Ghostface’s games. This means — you guessed it — she’s the perfect successor to our Final Girl queen, Sidney Prescott....

The show hasn’t made space for Will Netflix To be clear, the show doesn’t owe anyone a happy ending for Will, although it would be great to see him joyful for once. It also doesn’t necessarily need to fulfill the early promise of exploring his identity by having him do something as concrete as publicly coming out or getting a boyfriend. Questioning kids and late bloomers need representation too, after all....

The Orbital Children Is A Complex, Thrilling Sci-Fi Adventure About Technology And Transhumanism Netflix By Rafael Motamayor/Feb. 28, 2022 2:00 pm EST (Welcome to Ani-time Ani-where, a regular column dedicated to helping the uninitiated understand and appreciate the world of anime.)

‘Moon Knight’ takes place after the Blip Marvel Executive producer Grant Curtis recently claimed that “Moon Knight” will have “no attachment to the current MCU.” His statement, released via The Direct, caused a bit of a stir from fans — and with good reason. Are his comments meant to be taken at face value? Or is Curtis merely teasing a storyline free of any interconnected meddling? The short answer: yes, “Moon Knight” is of course connected to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe....

30 Coins Season 2: Everything We Know So Far HBO Max By Natalia Keogan/June 23, 2022 5:53 pm EST It’s certainly a good time for episodic horror media. We’ve currently got new episodes of “Evil” premiering weekly, the body horror-heavy second volume of “Stranger Things” season 4 set to stream on July 1, and even a new season of the chilling crime drama “True Detective” on the way from Mexican horror filmmaker Issa López....

Baby Driver’s Editing Process Was As Action-Packed As The Final Film Sony Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/April 13, 2022 4:50 pm EST Edgar Wright may have reinvented himself to a certain extent with his most recent film, taking a much more direct route to outright horror with last year’s “Last Night in Soho” than we’ve ever seen him attempt before. With movies like the “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz,” and “Scott Pilgrim vs the World” under his belt — all ambitious to various degrees and all incredibly well-made — the director clearly made a purposeful and impressive choice to avoid getting pigeonholed into a certain “type” of filmmaker....

Every Season Of Star Trek: The Next Generation Ranked Worst To Best Paramount Domestic Television By Liam Gaughan/March 29, 2022 2:22 pm EST Gene Roddenberry’s landmark series “Star Trek” changed the course of science fiction history when it debuted in 1966.

Most importantly, audiences were invested in the characters: Captain James T....

Guillermo Del Toro Shot Two Pacific Rim Endings We Didn’t Get To See Warner Bros. Pictures By Devin Meenan/March 25, 2022 11:11 am EST As we near its tenth anniversary, “Pacific Rim” remains one of the last gasps of a dying blockbuster breed. It’s not adapted from pre-existing IP and instead tells an original story, albeit one built on homage to mecha anime and kaiju films. Furthermore, despite strong world-building, there are no hints of a sequel....
