What Comes Next for Korath? Disney+ While Hounsou did reprise Korath in live-action for “Captain Marvel,” the character’s death in “Guardians of the Galaxy” (which, lest we forget, takes place after Carol Danvers’ origin story in the MCU’s main timeline) seems to severely limit where he could show up again in the future. Hounsou, however, feels otherwise, particularly when it comes to “What If…?” season 2: “He’s a machine that you can’t terminate....

The romantic-comedy starring the Hustlers actress as a music superstar who marries a stranger (Owen Wilson) has been pushed back to Valentine’s Day weekend next year. Deadline reports that Universal is moving their musical-driven romantic comedy Marry Me from May 14, 2021 to February 11, 2022, putting the film squarely on Valentine’s Day weekend — a very fitting release date for a movie that looks to be the rom-com comeback for Lopez....

Nearly 25% Of MCU Fans Think This The Weakest Phase 3 Movie — And We Agree Marvel Studios By Ryan Scott/Oct. 27, 2021 10:59 am EST (Welcome to Survey Says, a feature where we conduct a movie-related survey for a random group of people and explain why they’re completely right, completely wrong, or somewhere in-between.) The Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked off Phase 4 this year with shows like “WandaVision” on Disney+ and “Black Widow” on the big screen....

Prey First Look: Dan Trachtenberg Makes A Predator Prequel 20th Century Studios By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 12, 2021 12:29 pm EST The “Predator” movie that we weren’t meant to know was a “Predator” movie is finally coming into shape. To celebrate the ongoing Disney+ Day festivities, Disney revealed the new title for the Dan Trachtenberg film earlier. Now known as “Prey” (after previously working under the title of “Skulls”), the latest film set in the “Predator” universe is actually a prequel that will go back to the very roots of the franchise and detail the events that transpire when the first member of the Predator species to make it to Earth....

Quentin Tarantino’s Next Movie May Be Kill Bill 3, Wants To Make A Comedy Western Sony By Lex Briscuso/Oct. 20, 2021 12:07 pm EST It seems Quentin Tarantino is just ~trusting the universe~ when it comes to his next move as a filmmaker.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Another sports drama. Been there, done that, right? Well, “Swagger” immediately separates itself from the rest of the pack thanks to some key creative partners and big names: primarily NBA superstar Kevin Durant, whose involvement with growing up in youth basketball did much to inspire this upcoming series....

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) Warner Bros. “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” is towards the bottom of this list because it commits one of the stage-to-film adaptation’s cardinal sins: casting movie stars who can’t carry a tune. But what do you expect Tim Burton to do – not cast Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter? He clearly made a deal with the Devil and has to cast them — and the film succeeds as a movie musical despite their lack of commitment to the whole singing thing....

The Alternate Seven Ending David Fincher Wanted Us To See New Line Cinema By Joshua Meyer/Oct. 29, 2021 12:33 pm EST “What’s in the box?” An alternate ending. David Fincher’s “Seven” has one of the most unforgettable endings in movie history. It’s been etched in viewers’ minds for over a quarter-century, so the idea of changing it at this point might seem like a sin, not unlike the ones symbolized by the grisly crime scenes where serial killer John Doe (Kevin Spacey) stages his “sermons....

Reilly Has An Idea For It By Ben Pearson/Nov. 21, 2018 4:00 pm EST Ralph Breaks the Internet is on track to have one of the biggest Thanksgiving opening weekends of all time, so you might think that a Wreck-It Ralph 3 will be a given at Walt Disney Animation, right?

Bullet Train: Release Date, Cast, And More Annapurna Pictures By Ryan Scott/Sept. 30, 2021 4:50 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.) 2022 is, hopefully, going to be the year that Hollywood rebounds, in a real way, from the pandemic. There is much hope on the horizon, at least in terms of some of what we can expect to see in theaters....

Nolan Pre-2011 Warner Bros. Pictures We’ll be focused mainly on the last decade of Nolan’s films here, but just to be clear: the 2010s weren’t necessarily the first time that complaints popped up regarding Nolan and sound. Masks are a normal feature of superhero films, including his own “Dark Knight” trilogy. He threw a sack over Cilian Murphy’s face and had maggots crawling out of it in “Batman Begins.” Is that a referendum on Mother Nature fighting back against us frail mortals?...

Crossing Swords Creators Share The Keys To Their Deranged, Demented Comedy [Interview] Hulu By Danielle Ryan/Dec. 10, 2021 2:21 pm EST “Crossing Swords” creators John Havartine IV, Tom Root, and Seth Green are no strangers to stop-motion mayhem, but the medieval Hulu comedy is definitely a new realm of insanity for them to play in. The creators, who are best known for their work on the long-running Adult Swim series “Robot Chicken,” created a show about the lives of some very unfortunate peg people, something like “Toy Story” if it were made by sadists....

Every Martin Scorsese Feature Ranked From Worst To Best By Audrey Fox/Oct. 28, 2021 5:15 pm EST How do you even begin to break down Martin Scorsese’s staggeringly consistent filmography, let alone try to rank his movies in order of quality? One of the most talented directors in American cinematic history, there’s not a whole lot of daylight between his best and worst films. Even the box office bombs that couldn’t connect with an audience have enough redeeming qualities to make them worthwhile....
