Sneaky ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Easter Egg drops ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ hint

Even though we’re only a few months away from the release of Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder, and we’ve got a pretty good idea of how all the major players are going to fit into the story, plot details remain virtually non-existent.

Chris Hemsworth’s Odinson was partnered up with the Guardians of the Galaxy the last time we saw him, while Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie is dealing with the pressures of ruling New Asgard. Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster makes her Marvel Cinematic Universe return after almost a decade, and she’s getting superpowers for good measure, without even mentioning Christian Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher looking to live up to his name by slaying some deities.

Gal Gadot marks ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ anniversary with BTS images

As the sequel to both the best-reviewed installment in DCEU history and a box office behemoth that earned $822 million in the summer of 2017, Wonder Woman 1984 came burdened with huge pressure.

From both a critical and commercial perspective, though, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Patty Jenkins’ second installment failed to deliver. While the pandemic can be blamed for the dismal $166 million theatrical haul, and the HBO Max viewership numbers were admittedly strong, fans were left divided by the movie’s narrative merits.

‘No Time to Die’ star wants to return for the next iteration of James Bond

Based on the ending of No Time to Die, it seems highly unlikely that any of the current supporting players will be invited to return for the next iteration of cinema’s most famous secret agent.

After all, the Daniel Craig era ended by doing the unthinkable and sending 007 out on his sword, or more accurately a fiery blaze of glory. James Bond had never been killed onscreen before, and when you remember that the actor’s tenure boasted the deepest sense of continuity we’d ever seen from the franchise before, it looks to be game over for the rest of the ensemble, too.

‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ passes major box office milestone

Most of the plaudits have been following Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s box office performance, which is fair when the web-slinging epic has soared past a billion dollars at the box office faster than any movie ever not named Avengers: Endgame, but let’s not forget about Sony’s other Marvel Comics adaptation in all of this.

Given the circumstances created by the pandemic, there was absolutely no chance that Venom: Let There Be Carnage would come close to matching the $856 million haul of its predecessor. That’s especially true when you consider the symbiotic sequel hasn’t yet been approved for release of China, where the opening chapter hauled in a massive $269 million.

Guillermo del Toro’s stop-motion ‘Pinocchio’ is set in fascist Italy

The concept of ‘twin films’ is hardly a new phenomenon, and while the two projects in question can often be largely indecipherable from each other in the broadest strokes, nobody’s going to get next year’s competing Pinocchio movies mixed up.

On one hand, we have Disney’s big budget hybrid of live-action and CGI, which has Robert Zemeckis directing and reuniting with his Forrest Gump and Cast Away star Tom Hanks, who plays Gepetto in the streaming exclusive. On the other, Netflix have a dark, stop-motion musical fantasy on the way, with Guillermo del Toro behind the camera.

Matthew Vaughn teases potential sequel for ‘The King’s Man’

The holiday box office is always one of the busiest and most competitive frames of the year, and while there are a handful of titles all jockeying for position, The King’s Man isn’t one of them.

Spider-Man: No Way Home could be on course for a second weekend in the $100 million range, while animated sequel Sing 2 and blockbuster sci-fi actioner The Matrix Resurrections are locked in a back-and-forth battle for second place that either one could realistically end up winning.

‘No Time to Die’ star says the pandemic didn’t change the plot

Even though No Time to Die had long since finished shooting by the time the pandemic came along and ground the planet to a standstill, the added post-production time could have conceivably given the creative team the impetus to make some changes to the narrative.

One of the driving forces behind the plot is the looming threat of a bioweapon, and it would be fair to suggest that many audiences had grown weary of dealing with a real-life biological threat, never mind a fictional one. Of course, that didn’t stop the 25th installment in the James Bond franchise from earning close to $775 million at the box office, because at the end of the day it’s still escapism on a massive scale.

Guillermo del Toro names which of his movies you should watch first

Guillermo del Toro has directed eleven movies since making his feature-length debut on 1993’s Cronos, and he’s got a twelfth coming to Netflix next year when his dark, fantastical stop-motion spin on Pinocchio arrives, but you can generally take an educated guess as to what his output will entail.

There’s going to be sumptuous production design, detailed world-building, plenty of Gothic trappings, accomplished performances, and more than likely a role for either Ron Perlman or Doug Jones. With two Academy Awards under his belt for writing and directing The Shape of Water, del Toro may be a prestige filmmaker these days, but he’s also the guy that helmed Blade II and pitted giant robots against giant monsters in Pacific Rim.
