Daniel Craig Says He’ll Be Remembered As The Grumpy James Bond

Eighteen months later than expected and the end of the Daniel Craig era is finally upon us, with the actor’s final outing as James Bond in No Time to Die now playing internationally ahead of a domestic release next Friday. It’s been a long time coming, and the good news for fans is that the reviews have declared it a fitting swansong.

He may be bowing out of the iconic role, but nobody ever escapes the shadow of Bond. Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan all resigned themselves to the fact that 007 would follow them wherever they went for the rest of their lives and careers, something Craig will have to get used to.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage Originally Had A Major Role For Spider-Man

We’ll be diving into the specifics of the Venom: Let There Be Carnage‘s credits scene from here on out, so consider this your spoiler warning. At the end of Ruben Fleischer’s first installment, the stinger revealing surprise guest Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady made it perfectly clear where the sequel was heading, with fans having been desperate to see the serial killer’s symbiotic alter ego brought into live-action for the longest time.

While the reviews haven’t been universally glowing, Let There Be Carnage has been deemed a vastly superior successor to Venom, and the stinger has changed the game in a major way. Debating which one of them is smarter, Eddie Brock and his symbiotic life partner suddenly experience a shift in reality, one that sees the conclusion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man: No Way Home unfolding on television.

Will Smith Says Wild Wild West Is Still A Thorn In His Side

It’s long since gone down in Hollywood legend that Will Smith declined the role of Neo in The Matrix because he didn’t fully understand the script, opting to make Wild Wild West instead.

Of course, that turned out to be an awful move in hindsight, with Keanu Reeves headlining one of the greatest action and sci-fi movies of the modern era, while the former Fresh Prince saw his $170 million steampunk Western take a critical and commercial pounding.

Marvel’s Website And Social Media Ignores Venom: Let There Be Carnage

Obviously, this weekend’s superhero blockbuster Venom: Let There Be Carnage isn’t part of Kevin Feige’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it’s still a Marvel Entertainment production that falls under the comic book company’s umbrella.

The first adventure starring Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock earned over $850 million at the box office, without even considering the additional income brought in from merchandising. The marketing campaign for the sequel has been even more intense, to the extent you can barely turn around without bumping into the symbiotic title hero on the internet.

Scarlett Johansson’s Tower Of Terror Still Happening After Black Widow Lawsuit

Yesterday finally drew a line under the contentious and increasingly bitter battle between Scarlett Johansson and Disney over Black Widow being sent to Premier Access the same day it hit theaters, with both the actress and the Mouse House releasing statements confirming that the breach of contract lawsuit has been settled.

Not only that, but it would appear that the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s longtime Natasha Romanoff hasn’t completely burned her bridges with the studio either, after chairman Alan Bergman confirmed via The Hollywood Reporter that both parties remain committed to the Tower of Terror movie that was first announced to be in development just weeks before Johansson filed a claim against her former employers.

James Bond Producers Reveal 2 Questions They Always Ask When Writing Scripts

Dozens upon dozens of writers have had a hand in writing James Bond movies since the franchise debuted almost 60 years ago, but producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have maintained a sense of continuity over the last two decades by retaining the services of Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.

The duo have been involved in every screenplay for a new 007 adventure since Pierce Brosnan’s The World is Not Enough, but they’ve become increasingly open to collaboration during the Daniel Craig era. After they picked up the torch from three-time Bond veteran and Brosnan regular Bruce Feirstein, Purvis and Wave shared the burden with Paul Haggis on Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, with John Logan doing a polish on Sam Mendes’ Skyfall.

Stephen King Shares His Thoughts On James Wan’s Malignant

As the co-creator of the Saw and Insidious franchises, not to mention the architect of the entire Conjuring Universe, horror fans thought they had a pretty good idea of what to expect going into James Wan’s Malignant, with the filmmaker returning to the genre that first brought him to prominence after his detour into blockbuster cinema saw him deliver billion-dollar hits Fast & Furious 7 and Aquaman.

Of course, anyone to have seen Malignant knows that most definitely wasn’t the case. Without a doubt one of the most bonkers studio movies to come along in a long time, Wan evidently relished in using his cache and clout within the industry to make exactly the movie he’d envisioned in his head, which just so happened to be completely and utterly bonkers.

Netflix Added 51 New Movies/TV Shows Today

Today is the first of the month, which of course means that the Netflix library has been re-upped, with a cavalcade of brand new film and television titles being added for your perusal. It’s also Friday, when the platform tends to debut its newest in-house releases, so we’ve got a bumper lineup of new and old content alike.

In terms of originals, we can expect Jake Gyllenhaal’s intense thriller The Guilty to perform well, when star-powered projects with high concepts are always guaranteed to reach the upper echelons of the most-watched list, but the Margot Robbie-produced series Maid could also turn out to be a dark horse.

A Beloved Heath Ledger Movie Is Now On Netflix

As impossible as it seems to believe now, there was widespread backlash from Batman fans when Heath Ledger was first announced to be playing the Joker in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. People openly questioned why the handsome, charming Australian who was still in his mid-20s at the time had been cast as one of the most iconic villains in all of pop culture.

Of course, everybody was forced to eat their words and then some when Ledger delivered one of the greatest performances the comic book genre has ever seen, cementing his legacy with a posthumous Academy Award win for Best Supporting Actor. He was one of the most versatile and chameleonic talents of his generation, equally capable of winning hearts as he was crafting unsettling characters.

A Jean-Claude Van Damme Cult Favorite Is Now On Netflix

Nobody’s going to sit there and put forward a compelling argument for Jean-Claude Van Damme‘s abilities an actor, but the Muscles from Brussels found his niche in the mid-1980s and has admirably stuck with it ever since, even if he’s subverted his established persona on a handful of occasions to freshen up the formula.

One of the more interesting wrinkles of the action hero’s career is that he’s developed a reputation for playing two characters in the same movie, which surely isn’t a matter of coincidence. Double Impact, Maximum Risk, The Order, The Replicant and Timecop all saw him pull double duty, but today’s new Netflix addition Double Team would have seen him much better off acting against nobody, looking at Dennis Rodman’s performance.

On paper, a mysterious psychological thriller written and directed by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, starring Academy Award winners Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway in the lead roles with support from Oscar nominees Diane Lane and Djimon Honsou, is enough to pique your curiosity.

Throw in a plot that follows a fishing boat captain who finds his life turned upside down when his ex-wife shows up on the scene desperate for help, asking him to murder her abusive new husband to protect her and the son they share, and Serenity sounds like the sort of promising adult-skewing genre film that Hollywood doesn’t really tend to make anymore.

Aladdin Star Offers Update On Live-Action Disney Sequel

Emma Stone’s Cruella de Vil will be returning for another adventure, Angelina Jolie’s third Maleficent already has a script and Barry Jenkins’ follow up to The Lion King is gathering a cast as we speak, but official news on another Aladdin has been hard to come by.

Guy Ritchie’s blockbuster earned over a billion dollars at the box office, even if reviews weren’t universally glowing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about Aladdin was that Will Smith’s Genie was arguably the best thing about it, despite all of the backlash and negativity during the buildup that described his big blue alter ego as the stuff of nightmares.

Old School earned $87 million at the box office and drew solid-if-unspectacular reviews from critics, but it developed a huge fanbase before enjoying a long second life on home video. To put things into perspective, the film’s Rotten Tomatoes score of 60% is comfortably dwarfed by an 86% audience rating, and that’s with over 250,000 votes being cast.
