X-Men: First Class Star Says Killing Off His Character Was A Mistake

Brett Ratner’s The Last Stand may have been the highest-grossing entry in the franchise at the time, but it also suffered from the weakest reviews, leading Fox to decide that a reboot of the X-Men series was in order. Despite the incredibly quick turnaround time for a $150 million comic book blockbuster, Matthew Vaughn’s First Class is still regarded as one of the team’s best cinematic outings.

The prequel hit theaters a little over nine months after the director called action on the first day of shooting, which makes it all the more impressive that Vaughn was able to deliver a fast-paced, refreshing, action-packed and exciting rejuvenation of the mythology in such a short space of time.

Eternals Becomes The MCU’s First Rotten Movie On Rotten Tomatoes

It was bound to happen eventually, but for the time being, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s impeccable track record on Rotten Tomatoes has come to an end. As recently as a couple of weeks ago it seemed impossible to believe that Eternals would be anything other than spectacular, but critics clearly aren’t in agreement with that sentiment.

In a cruel twist of irony, the first installment in the franchise to be helmed by a filmmaker with an Academy Award for Best Director under their belt has turned out as the lowest-rated ever on the aggregation site. At the time of writing, Chloé Zhao’s cosmic epic is sitting just under the threshold at 59%, but it’s not a foregone conclusion quite yet.

Army Of Thieves Star Says He Wouldn’t Survive The Zombie Apocalypse

You don’t need to have seen Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead to get a kick out of prequel spinoff Army of Thieves, although if you haven’t, you may be feeling left confused as to why Matthias Schweighöfer’s Dieter keeps having recurring nightmares about shuffling hordes of the undead.

We know how things turn out for the expert safecracker in Las Vegas, but the rest of his cross-continental team remain unaccounted for in the franchise’s modern-day timeline. Snyder teased that some familiar faces could return for Planet of the Dead, but one Army of Thieves star doesn’t fancy their chances of surviving the zombie uprising.

Jump Street Directors Say Their New Movie Cocaine Bear Is Insane

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are without a doubt a pair of the finest comedic talents in Hollywood, having been involved as either producers, writers or directors on Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The LEGO Movie, the Jump Street duology, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and The Mitchells vs. the Machines.

However, their latest effort might be the craziest yet, if only for the fact Cocaine Bear is based on the wildest of true stories. Lord and Miller produce the latest directorial effort from Elizabeth Banks, which as you may have surmised from the title, focuses on a bear that died from a massive cocaine overdose.

Army Of Thieves Star Explains Zack Snyder’s Lack Of Involvement

Netflix and Zack Snyder were so confident in the success of Army of the Dead that the prequel wasn’t even officially announced until it had already wrapped shooting. Army of Thieves landed on Netflix yesterday, and you can bet it’ll be sitting pretty at the top of the most-watched list by the end of the day.

Snyder may have cracked the story with Army of the Dead‘s Shay Hatten and produced through his Stone Quarry banner, but he was more than happy to hand the directorial reins over to leading man Matthias Schweighöfer, who delivers a light and breezy heist thriller with romantic comedy elements.

Kit Harington Compares Starring In Game Of Thrones To The MCU

Kit Harington once revealed that he’d contemplated quitting acting altogether after Game of Thrones ended, but it clearly wasn’t an option that remained on the table for very long when he admitted he was told there was a role for him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe a year before he was cast in Eternals.

While the 26th installment in the franchise has hardly been drowning in critical acclaim, the performances of the ensemble have been widely praised across the board. Harington’s Dane Whitman goes on to become Black Knight in the comic books, but Eternals needs to get a sequel green lit before we can even consider that a possibility.

Sylvester Stallone Says He Regrets Killing Off Apollo Creed In Rocky IV

As we edge closer to the release of Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky IV Director’s Cut on November 11, the actor and filmmaker has found himself in a reflective mood as he examines the legacy of the Italian Stallion.

The first installment was released 45 years ago, and yet the franchise is still going strong, with Michael B. Jordan set to call action on his directorial debut Creed III next month. That being said, Rocky Balboa won’t be involved for the first time ever, so it’s got to be bittersweet for Stallone.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage Passes Black Widow At The Domestic Box Office

There’s always going to be an asterisk next to the commercial performance of Black Widow due to the Marvel Cinematic Universe prequel landing on Disney Plus Premier Access the same day it hit theaters, which ultimately opened up a huge can of worms between the studio and star Scarlett Johansson.

That being said, a box office haul of $379 million is more than most Hollywood blockbusters have managed to earn during the pandemic era, so it was far from a failure. However, Black Widow has now been surpassed domestically by Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which moves the symbiotic sequel into second place on the 2021 list, although it’s still trailing well behind Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings‘ $221 million.

Wilson-Cairns followed it up by collaborating with Edgar Wright on psychological thriller Last Night in Soho, while she also served as a staff writer on Season 3 of Penny Dreadful and has literary adaptation The Good Nurse in production with Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain starring.

Zack Snyder Says #RestoreTheSnyderVerse Campaign Is An Honor

WarnerMedia were clearly hoping to draw a line under the #RestoreTheSnyderVerse movement when it was finally confirmed that Zack Snyder’s unfiltered vision for Justice League was really happening as a four-hour HBO Max exclusive.

It’s been almost eight months since the re-edited and extended version of the lambasted DCEU epic landed on streaming, and yet fans show no intention of giving up on their campaign. The hashtag trends regularly as the movement continues to demand that Snyder’s mythology be resurrected and carried on, even though the studio shows no sign of budging.
