So far, Edward Norton and Dave Bautista have joined the Rian Johnson-directed sequel that brings back Daniel Craig’s master sleuth Benoit Blanc. Now, Janelle Monae has come on board as well. Like the previous two casting announcements, we don’t know who Monae is playing, but it’s safe to assume the sequel will once again assemble a big cast of characters and make them all suspects in a murder....

‘Loki’ Takes Us On A “Journey Into Mystery” With Its Thrilling Penultimate Episode By Vanessa Armstrong/July 7, 2021 7:26 am EST Loki’s fifth episode, “Journey Into Mystery,” is chock-full of Lokis, and an Alioth to boot.

By Chris Evangelista/March 30, 2021 1:30 pm EST Sylvester Stallone has a hard time letting go of his iconic characters. Just when you think we’ve seen the last of Rocky or Rambo, Stallone finds an excuse to bring them back (I’m surprised he hasn’t made a Cobra sequel yet, honestly). And while you might think the Rocky series has run its course, especially with Rocky’s character finding some closure at the end of Creed II, you’re wrong, at least according to Stallone....

‘The Borrowers’ Reboot In The Works Because Sure, Why Not By Chris Evangelista/April 27, 2021 5:00 pm EST Next up to be rebooted is…spins wheel…The Borrowers. Because sure, why not? We’ve all agreed that there are no more new ideas so it’s best to just keep rebooting things forever until the sun burns out, and it’s been almost 25 years since Hollywood gave this one a go. The latest adaptation will be based on the Mary Norton book series of the same that follows a family of extremely tiny people who live in the walls and floors of a house....

For starters, the rapper, actor, producer, and entrepreneur has a great story, which we saw told on screen in Get Rich or Die Tryin’. After his debut album of the same name came out, his story only grew richer....

A Throwback Mythos Compass International Pictures Blumhouse’s recent “Halloween” revival trilogy, from its beginning, has made much of the fact that they were doing away with much of the canon that characterized the nine sequels between Carpenter’s ‘78 original and David Gordon Green’s 2018 recalibration. Gone is the sibling connection between Michael and Laurie, originally mentioned in Rick Rosenthal’s “Halloween II” (1981). Gone is the Vulcan mind-meld connection between Michael and his niece, as seen in “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers....

Hawkeye Director Rhys Thomas Reveals The Movies That Influenced The Marvel Series [Exclusive] Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 22, 2021 10:53 am EST Over the years since his brief introduction in 2011’s “Thor” and particularly his mostly brainwashed role in “The Avengers” the following year, Hawkeye has been cast as something of an underdog amid the much more powerful heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Clint Barton even hangs a lampshade on this in “Age of Ultron,” laying out the absurd facts that, “The city is flying and we’re fighting an army of robots....

Entertainment Tjahjanto is a celebrated name in genre circles for the balls-to-the-wall ultraviolence his work relishes, from the “V/H/S/2” segment “Safe Haven” (which remains the greatest segment of the entire franchise) to 2018’s “The Night Comes For Us,” an assassin free-for-all featuring some folks from Gareth Evans’ “The Raid” and a whole lot of incredible fight sequences. If you haven’t seen “The Night Comes For Us,” you really should get on that; its fights have some of the most technically fascinating camera work and fight choreography in years, and energy only matched that year by Leigh Whannell’s sci-fi-action banger, “Upgrade....

The latest rumor to hit the world of Superhero Movie News Coverage is that Marvel is working on a project built around the character of Namor and that it’s eyeing Hawaii as a potential filming location. This is entirely unsubstantiated at the moment, but we’re going to go ahead and cover it for one reason only: Marvel really should make a Namor movie....

The news broke via The Hollywood Reporter, who relayed details about the film’s plot....
