How Hawkeye Makes Clint Barton More Than The MCU’s Punching Bag [Exclusive] Marvel Studios By Joshua Meyer/Nov. 22, 2021 8:42 am EST Let’s face it: Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye has never been the most impressive Avenger. When you stack him up against the other founding Avengers: Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, the Hulk, and Black Widow — all of whom have had their own solo movies — Hawkeye comes out looking like the least mighty of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes....

The “Legends” of Boba Fett Bantam Books The “Star Wars” universe has almost always been an expansive, sprawling thing. Prior to Disney buying the franchise, the canon was collected in a system called the Holocron, broken down into five varying levels of canonical authenticity. When Disney took over, the studio did its best to reshape the canon into a single, cohesive timeline — which meant leaving a lot of the Star Wars Extended Universe behind....

Marvel Studios Offices Tour: A Behind-The-Scenes Look By Peter Sciretta/April 18, 2017 9:30 am EST A few years ago, Marvel Studios moved from their Manhattan Beach offices to the Walt Disney Studios lot. And yesterday, for the first time, Disney has opened the door to press. On Monday afternoon, I visited the new Marvel offices in Burbank. Here’s what I saw. The Marvel Studios offices are located on the second floor of the Frank G....

Neil Gaiman Insists That ‘American Gods’ Is “Not Dead” Despite Starz Cancelation By Hoai-Tran Bui/March 31, 2021 10:30 am EST It might take a miracle to bring back American Gods, but Neil Gaiman has faith that the fantasy drama based on his acclaimed novel is not dead. In fact, it’s “definitely not dead,” Gaiman assured fans following the show’s cancelation by Starz. But considering American Gods’ three turbulent seasons at Starz, it might take a little prayer to keep it going....

New ‘Indiana Jones’ Trilogy Poster Set Gives The Franchise’s MacGuffins The Spotlight By Ethan Anderton/June 15, 2021 8:11 am EST There are so many Indiana Jones posters out there that it can be hard to find a fresh angle to celebrate the beloved adventure movies. But artist Lyndon Willoughby has created a fantastic Indiana Jones trilogy poster set that puts the focus on three of the iconic “MacGuffins” (you know, the artifacts Indy is looking for) from the original trilogy....

Secret Invasion First Look: Nick Fury And The Skrulls Play Spy Games Marvel Studios By Joshua Meyer/Nov. 12, 2021 1:38 pm EST Nick Fury’s vacation in space is about to end, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to contend with an invasion of rogue Skrulls. The Disney+ series “Secret Invasion” takes its name from a comic book miniseries and crossover event that involves “a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating Earth for years....

The Best Walking in Staten – Is Pete Davidson friends with Big Wet? It would seem so. One-half of the country rap duo (yes, that’s a thing) known as Branchez and Big Wet appeared in the “Squid Game” sketch earlier this season, and now he’s back for Pete Davidson’s song about Staten Island. This is one of the things that Pete Davidson does best. Many times before, he’s proven to be a hip-hop version of Adam Sandler, albeit without the same character versatility....

The Girl In The Woods: Release Date, Cast And More Peacock By Chris Evangelista/Sept. 27, 2021 2:54 pm EST (Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.) Peacock has a new YA horror series called “The Girl in the Woods” on the way, and if you’ve never even heard of it – and I certainly haven’t, until today – you’ve come to the right place....

The Guilty Trailer: 911 Operator Jake Gyllenhaal Is Ready To Take Your Call Netflix By Jeremy Mathai/Sept. 7, 2021 10:38 am EST It only makes sense that Netflix would release the next trailer for “The Guilty” so soon after Labor Day. The drama is set largely in one location, a 911 dispatch center, and the film makes it clear that this is as stressful and thankless a job as it gets, with phone call after phone call adding up to drive Jake Gyllenhaal out of his mind....

The Last Of Us First Look: Pedro Pascal And Bella Ramsey Hit The Road As Joel And Ellie Naughty Dog By Shania Russell/Sept. 27, 2021 10:30 am EST It’s finally time to meet Joel and Ellie in the flesh. HBO’s “The Last of Us” adaptation is well into production now, but other than one measly set photo, all info surrounding the show has been kept top-secret. With the series set for release in late 2022, fans were well-prepared to live off nothing but casting news until something official finally snuck its way onto the internet....

The Marvel Comics Character You Missed In Hawkeye Episode 4 Marvel Studios By Ben F. Silverio/Dec. 8, 2021 6:08 pm EST If you’ve seen the latest episode of “Hawkeye” on Disney+, you’re likely raving about that wild cameo on the rooftop. I won’t spoil it here, but a familiar face finally makes their highly-anticipated return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to catch up with Clint Barton. However, there was also another appearance by someone else from the Avenging Archer’s past that some fans may have missed....

This Week In Trailers: Rose Plays Julie, Worn Stories, After Love, The Palindromists By Christopher Stipp/March 21, 2021 10:00 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

Tiffany Haddish And LaKeith Stanfield In Talks To Star In Disney’s ‘Haunted Mansion’ Reboot By Chris Evangelista/July 28, 2021 12:52 pm EST Two actors are gearing up to visit The Haunted Mansion. Justin Simien is helming a new movie based on the popular Disney attraction, and we’ve learned that Tiffany Haddish and LaKeith Stanfield are in talks to join the cast.

‘1Up’: Ruby Rose Replaces Elliot Page In eSports Drama By Ben Pearson/Jan. 29, 2021 3:30 pm EST Fanboys director Kyle Newman’s upcoming eSports drama has experienced a late-stage roster change. Elliot Page (Juno, The Umbrella Academy) was previously cast to play a professor and mentor figure in the movie, but Page has since stepped away from the project and the producers have hired Ruby Rose (John Wick: Chapter 2, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage) to play that role instead....

By Ben Pearson/March 22, 2021 4:00 pm EST While director Chad Stahelski has been behind the camera of every John Wick movie and Keanu Reeves is obviously the face of the franchise, the whole thing began with Derek Kolstad. The screenwriter wrote the original screenplay and concocted this entire world of international assassins, cool hotels, mysterious monetary denominations, and bulletproof suits. But it sounds like Kolstad’s time with the franchise is over, because in a new interview, he has revealed that he will not be writing the scripts for the previously announced John Wick 4 and John Wick 5....

‘The Falcon And The Winter Soldier’ Will Reinvent Characters From The Earliest Marvel Movies, Says Writer Derek Kolstad By Ben Pearson/Oct. 21, 2020 8:30 am EST We’re still not sure exactly when Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is heading to Disney+, but here’s another reason to be intrigued by the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe series.

‘WandaVision’ Sensation Kathryn Hahn Discusses The Future Of Agatha Harkness In The MCU By Ethan Anderton/March 9, 2021 10:30 am EST Kathryn Hahn has been acting for nearly 20 years. She’s been in movies like Step Brothers and We’re the Millers, and TV shows like Crossing Jordan and Parks and Recreation. But it’s her recent stint on WandaVision that’s turning even more heads as she went from the clichéd sitcom nosy neighbor Agnes to a power hungry witch Agatha Harkness....

Before Sunrise Columbia Whatever people thought Richard Linklater was going to do to follow up his first two indie hits, “Slackers” and “Dazed and Confused,” they certainly got a surprise when his next film was the quiet, understated European romance “Before Sunrise.” It stars Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as two strangers who meet on a train to Vienna, and have an immediate spark. They spend the ride engaging in deep conversation, and spend the night together once they reach Vienna — the entire time knowing that once their rendezvous is over, they will return to their separate lives and likely never see each other again....
