‘I could do this all day’ Marvel Studios There is also the multiverse as a possibility for the Evans version of Captain America to return. Between the Disney+ “Loki” series and the film “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” we’ve broken the multiverse wide open. There are different versions of characters, and many of them look exactly the same as they do in Earth-616, like Doctor Strange, Christine Palmer, Baron Mordo, and Wanda Maximoff....

Tokyo Vice Creator J.T. Rogers And Star Ansel Elgort On Immersion, Pacing, And A Possible Season 2 [Interview] HBO Max By Ben Pearson/April 7, 2022 8:59 am EST J.T. Rogers is a Tony Award-winning writer whose first produced TV credit was last year’s HBO movie “Oslo.” Now he’s stepping up his game in a major way as the creator and showrunner of “Tokyo Vice,” a sleek crime drama that boasts Michael Mann as a director and actors like Ansel Elgort (“West Side Story”) and Ken Watanabe (“Inception”) as its stars....

Anakin Skywalker’s ‘Wattanese’ Dialogue In Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones Was Completely Improvised Lucasfilm By Lyvie Scott/June 13, 2022 10:51 am EST When it comes to science fiction and fantasy, it certainly doesn’t hurt to build your world thoroughly. Series like “The Lord of the Rings” and “Game of Thrones” are backed by a substantial amount of lore, with whole languages, maps, and family trees drawn out to help sustain every dizzying storyline....

What a difference a place makes The Archers For modern viewers, the bell perch in “Black Narcissus,” with its sheer overlook, might recall Tyrion Lannister’s sky cell high atop the mountainous Eyrie in the first season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” In late 2020, “Black Narcissus” was also the subject of a less well-received FX miniseries adaptation, starring Gemma Arterton (“Byzantium”) and featuring the second to last performance of the late Diana Rigg, who played the Queen of Thorns on “Game of Thrones....

Barbie Release Date and Where You Can Watch It Paramount “Barbie” does not have an official release date yet, but filming could begin early in 2022. With that type of timeline it’s possible the movie might be finished in time to come out around the holiday season next year, but Warner Bros. has yet to stake its claim on the release calendar. As of this writing, WB is not going to be releasing its 2022 movies simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max, so one assumes that the earliest way to watch “Barbie” will be exclusively in a movie theater....

Dealt A Bad Hand Marvel Comics While promoting his upcoming film “Dog,” Tatum spoke to Variety about his co-directing debut with Reid Carolin. But of course, since it was supposed to be his co-directing debut at one point, it was probably hard to avoid talking about “Gambit.” It started light by reviewing their vision for the character and why the studio wasn’t in favor of the long-time producing partners directing....

J.K. Simmons, ‘Justice League’ (2017) Warner Bros. Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons, prior to the release of “Justice League” in 2017, began posting pictures of his workout routine, showing off some legitimately impressive guns. In interviews leading up to the film, fans were assured that his Commissioner Gordon would be a badass. It was disappointing, then, that the Commissioner had so little to do in the film; he mere had quiet conversations with the Justice League on a rooftop, and didn’t once rip off his shirt to show off those guns he had been working on at the gym....

Conversations With Friends Trailer: The Sally Rooney-Verse Returns For More Heartbreak Hulu By Shania Russell/April 12, 2022 2:27 pm EST After giving us two years to pick up the pieces of our shattered souls, the Rooney-verse has finally returned. Back in 2020, Hulu struck gold with their steamy adaptation of Sally Rooney’s best-selling novel “Normal People,” a series that quickly became a phenomenon when it stole millions of hearts and launched the careers of rising stars, Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar Jones....

Does The Boba Fett Show Have A Boba Fett Problem? Lucasfilm By Eric Vespe/Jan. 3, 2022 9:42 am EST Let me start this by saying I get just as frustrated as many of you by a lot of the hot take articles that appear around popular movies and shows, especially when those takes are working off of limited information. Like, for instance, only having seen the first episode of a show and condemning the whole thing before the rest of the episodes air....

Dwayne Johnson Christmas Action Movie Red One Adds Sweater Enthusiast Chris Evans Lionsgate By Shania Russell/Jan. 24, 2022 1:50 pm EST What is Red One? Walt Disney Pictures The shopping tie-ins are inevitable, so fingers crossed we can at least get our grubby paws on some Chris Evans patented sweaters. Thanks to a /Film interview with Garcia, we also know that “Red One” is not an opportunity for The Rock to don a fluffy white beard and put coal in our stockings....

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore Corrects One Major Thing The Harry Potter Movies Got Wrong Warner Bros. By Rafael Motamayor/April 15, 2022 2:00 pm EST Albus Dumbledore is one of the most important characters in the Wizarding World franchise, a character so important the “Fantastic Beasts” spin-off series pivoted to being all about him. Yet, there is one big mistake the “Harry Potter” movies did: it overly sanctified the old professor....

Here’s When You Can Watch The Oscar-Nominated Drive My Car At Home Janus Films By Mike Shutt/Feb. 14, 2022 2:14 pm EST It’s hard not to love a “little movie that could” story. Who among us could have expected a meditative, three-hour Japanese film about a production of “Uncle Vanya” could turn into a proper player this awards season? “Drive My Car,” the latest film from “Happy Hour” and “Asako I & II” director Ryusuke Hamaguchi, raked in Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best International Feature....

Hocus Pocus 2 Teaser: Revisiting The Most Famous (And Fabulous) Witch Sisters In The World Disney+ By Lex Briscuso/June 28, 2022 9:10 am EST In case you forgot, we’re really going back to see the Sanderson Sisters once again. “Hocus Pocus 2,” the sequel to the original sleeper hit Disney film, is still happening, and the new installment now has a teaser trailer to try to get us hyped up for the return to Salem....

A Frame Narrative With A Twist Hulu “How I Met Your Father,” which reveals itself to be a direct sequel to the series in as-yet minor ways, takes that endearing frame tale even further. Its pilot episode chronicles a wild night for Sophie (Hillary Duff), as she meets a group of people for the first time who all become fast friends and the core of the series. This gimmick would be exhausting if it wasn’t executed well, but with the original series’ Carter Bays, Craig Thomas, and Pamela Fryman returning to executive produce, the show is able to assemble an effortlessly dynamic cast of characters from the jump....

How Star Wars Failed Kelly Marie Tran, And Why There’s Still Hope For Vietnamese Representation Lucasfilm By Nguyen Le/Jan. 5, 2022 12:30 pm EST The Resistance and the First Order battle it out, continuing the big-screen war among the stars both their forebears had started in 1977. But in the opening minutes of “The Last Jedi,” the eighth installment of the Skywalker Saga, writer-director Rian Johnson introduces finality. A victor shall emerge, and it won’t be the good guys....

It Takes Two Video Game Is Becoming A Movie From Sonic The Hedgehog Writers Hazelight Studios By BJ Colangelo/Jan. 31, 2022 2:59 pm EST Since the start of the pandemic, video games have been enjoying a massive surge in popularity, with U.S. sales jumping to a record $56.9 billion in 2020. While 2020 was absolutely dominated by “Animal Crossing,” 2021 was captivated by “It Takes Two.” The two-player winner of Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2021 follows Cody and May, a couple who are looking to divorce....

Lost Was Never Supposed To Be Such A Confusing Show - So What Happened? ABC By Joshua Meyer/Feb. 24, 2022 10:47 am EST When ABC’s “Lost” went off the air in 2010, it left a complicated legacy. The show faced an immediate backlash over its divisive ending, but in the years since then, it has undergone a more favorable reappraisal in some circles. Part of what made “Lost” so polarizing — and confusing at times — was its nature as an increasingly complex mystery-box show, one that had a way of revealing new mysteries within new boxes, even as it delivered answers to old ones that were unsatisfying for some viewers....

Moon Knight And The Rules Of The Egyptian Afterlife, Explained Disney+ By Debopriyaa Dutta/April 27, 2022 1:45 pm EST This post contains spoilers for the latest episode of “Moon Knight.” Mohammed Diab is back to helm the remaining episodes of “Moon Knight” after the delightful Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead spectacle of episode 4, and the latest episode, “The Asylum,” digs deeper into Egyptian history and mythology, in ways instrumental to the plot....

What is The Fall of Númenor? HarperCollins Where “The Lord of the Rings” focused on the villain Sauron’s reemergence as an existential threat to Middle-earth, “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” will largely concern itself with the very beginnings of the Dark Lord’s rise. That entails the forging of his many Rings, his deception of humanity, and the subsequent fall of the most powerful kingdom in the world — Númenor, the island nation that the ancestors of Aragorn (played by Viggo Mortensen in “The Lord of the Rings”) once called home....

One Of Butch Cassidy’s Most Famous Scenes Was Also Its Most Controversial George Roy Hill’s lively western “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” stars the effervescent film icons Paul Newman and Robert Redford as a pair of close-knit outlaws on the run to Bolivia. What is now considered to be one of the defining films of late 1960s American cinema was lambasted by some critics during its initial release. They were perplexed by Hill’s inventive subversion of classic western genre tropes, especially the inclusion of a montage that includes the upbeat ditty “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” — a song that was released more than half a century after the time in which “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” is set....
