Eternals Star Seconds Angelina Jolie By Blasting LGBTQ+ Ban

It wouldn’t be unfair to suggest that Disney and Marvel’s attempts to portray LGBTQ+ characters in recent blockbusters have been flimsy at best, so credit has to go to the respective studios for refusing to censor or remove any scenes from Eternals featuring Brian Tyree Henry’s Phastos, his husband or their family.

However, it did lead to the comic book adaptation getting slapped with the equivalent of an R-rating in Russia, while it’s been banned outright in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, with Angelina Jolie blasting the decision as ignorant, and the actress isn’t alone when it comes to that opinion.

Eternals Director Would Love To See A Marvel Vs. DC Crossover

Rival franchises don’t tend to acknowledge each other’s existence all that often, but that didn’t stop the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Eternals from making a couple of overt nods towards DC Comics icons Batman and Superman, which came as a surprise to many audiences given the professional rivalry between the two brands.

Fans have daydreamed about a big screen crossover ever since the MCU and DCEU first started doing battle at the box office, with James Gunn admitting that he’d floated the idea to both parties having planted one foot in either camp via the Guardians of the Galaxy series and The Suicide Squad.

Zack Snyder Trends Online For A Very Bizarre Reason

Zack Snyder trending on social media is nothing new, with supporters of his DCEU tenure still relentlessly campaigning to see the mythology that was cut short and effectively ended by HBO Max’s Justice League continued, but the filmmaker seems more than happy with the stack of projects he’s got in the work at Netflix.

In a recent interview, Eternals director Chloe Zhao praised the filmmaker’s Man of Steel for influencing her approach to the Marvel Cinematic Universe epic, and there are definitely similarities than can be drawn when you compare how the two big budget comic book adaptations treat superheroes as deified beings rooted deeper in classic mythology than standard superhero shenanigans.

Home Alone And Harry Potter Director Slams Pointless Reboots Of His Movies

As a writer, director and producer, Chris Columbus has been pivotal in creating a string of hit movies that are held very close to the hearts of multiple generations, an impressive list that includes Gremlins, The Goonies, Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jingle All the Way and the first two installments in the Harry Potter franchise.

At the peak of his powers, Columbus was among the biggest directors in the business, and at one stage his stock was so high that he turned down Spider-Man in favor of launching the Potter series, both of which went on to become one of the early 21st Century’s most successful, important and influential blockbusters.

Watch: Donnie Yen Bids Farewell To John Wick: Chapter 4

Keanu Reeves is without a doubt one of the modern era’s finest and most popular action heroes, and while the series has always been characterized by the copious amounts of badassery found in the supporting cast, John Wick: Chapter 4 comes packing the most stacked ensemble to date.

Joining the leading man and fellow returnees Ian McShane, Lance Reddick and Laurence Fishburne are newcomers Rina Sawayama, Bill Skarsgard, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Clancy Brown, Scott Adkins and Donnie Yen, the vast majority of whom are no stranger to either martial arts training or onscreen action.

Eternals Sex Scene Being Removed Ahead Of International Release

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has always been a very chaste enterprise, which is why there’s been so much talk made of Eternals featuring the franchise’s very first sex scene, although don’t go in expecting anything too hot and heavy from a PG-13 superhero blockbuster.

Director Chloe Zhao, Kevin Feige and the top brass at Disney have admirably stuck to their guns and denied requests to remove the depiction of Phastos’ marriage to husband Ben, which has led to the cosmic epic finding itself banned in several countries overseas.

Eternals Ending Teases Possible Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Connection

Let’s get the spoiler warning out of the way first before we dive right into the ending of Eternals, which is proving polarizing with critics but popular with fans, and how it could potentially tie into next year’s hotly-anticipated sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The final act of the movie finds the titular team discover their mission was actually the destruction of Earth all along, with the Celestial Tiamut poised to break forth from under the surface of the planet and wreak untold destruction under the orders of Arishem, but the apocalypse is thankfully averted thanks to our intrepid heroes.

Avengers: Age Of Ultron Was Conceived In Less Than An Hour

In terms of box office performance, critical reactions and fan response, Avengers: Age of Ultron is at the bottom of the pile when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s all-star ensemble movies, a sentiment that a large number of fans probably wouldn’t argue with.

It isn’t a terrible movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a step down from the giddy highs of its predecessor, and it sank deeper and deeper into MCU formula as the story progressed. The plot, character and action beats were all too familiar, which may have had something to do with the fact it took Joss Whedon less than an hour to come up with the story.

James Gunn Pitched Marvel Hit-Monkey In His First Guardians Of The Galaxy Meeting

James Gunn came straight out of left field when he was first announced to be directing the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Guardians of the Galaxy. He did have some cache in the effects-heavy family film market having penned Scooby-Doo and sequel Monsters Unleashed, but his background was firmly in the R-rated realm.

After getting his start at schlock merchants Troma before penning Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake, Gunn made his feature debut on blackly comic body horror Slither, following it up with his own twisted psychological take on superhero cinema with 2010’s Super.

John Wick: Chapter 4 Star Teases Donnie Yen’s Badass Role

Scott Adkins has been one of the VOD action genre’s leading lights for well over a decade, but he’s never really been given a genuine opportunity to show what he can do in a major Hollywood production, which is a real shame.

His biggest parts to date saw him fill in for Ryan Reynolds as the reviled Weapon X version of Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, something he’s voiced his frustrations with in the past, while he also played one of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s henchmen in The Expendables 2, got his ass kicked by a piece of fabric in Doctor Strange and briefly showed up in forgotten espionage thriller American Assassin.
