New Eternals Merch Teases The Arrival Of Black Knight

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Eternals might be based on a relatively obscure comic book property that most casual audiences won’t be familiar with, but the same could have been said about Guardians of the Galaxy, and we all know how that turned out in the end.

One exciting addition to the ensemble that may have gone over the heads of those unfamiliar with the source material is Kit Harington’s Dane Whitman, a mere mortal who isn’t an all-powerful alien like the rest of his co-stars. As fans know, the character goes on to become the third iteration of Black Knight, but so far there’s not even been the merest hint from any of the marketing or promotional materials that we’ll be seeing his alter ego in Eternals.

Shang-Chi Director Reveals The Hero Almost Had A Monstrous Brother

At its heart, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a story about a family driven apart and then ultimately forced back together under much different circumstances by the same tragedy, albeit one with explosive action sequences, mystical MacGuffins and plenty of CGI bombast.

Tony Leung’s Wenwu only became harder on his children following the death of their mother, with Simu Liu’s title hero and Meng’er Zhang’s Xia Xialing reacting to the loss by fleeing to opposite ends of the world to start a new life away from their overbearing and power-hungry old man.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage Director Teases Trilogy Plans

Sony will be rubbing their hands in glee looking at the early numbers for Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which is in with a genuine shot of landing the single highest-grossing opening weekend of the pandemic era. That’s a phenomenal return for a movie that’s been delayed many times, so it won’t be too long before a third installment gets the green light.

After all, the sequel was officially announced a little over a month after Ruben Fleischer’s Venom exploded into theaters, and Tom Hardy has already made it abundantly clear that he’s massively invested in the franchise. The star, producer and co-writer is arguably the biggest creative driving force behind the franchise having taken a much more hands-on role second time out, but director Andy Serkis also acquits himself well.

Daredevil Reboot Rumors Have Fans Demanding The Punisher

One of the many social media traps people fall into is taking rumor and speculation as fact, which often leads to a hypothetical wildfire spreading across the internet that folks interpret as gospel, even if there may or may not be even the slightest shred of truth to the information.

Last night saw Marvel Cinematic Universe fans rejoicing as they celebrated Charlie Cox officially returning to the MCU as Daredevil to headline a brand new season of television on Disney Plus. The only problem is that the image was custom-created to accompany an unsubstantiated claim from insider Daniel Richtman, in what marks just the latest dialogue in the never-ending chatter regarding a comeback for Netflix’s Man Without Fear.

Halloween Kills Director Says Shooting Michael Myers’ Mask Is A Challenge

We’re less than three weeks away from the release of Halloween Kills, which is coming to theaters and streaming simultaneously, a somewhat divisive call that’s since been defended by producer Jason Blum. The sequel’s chances of matching its predecessor’s $255 million box office haul have evaporated thanks to the hybrid release, but it should at least lead to an uptick in new Peacock signups.

The middle chapter of the trilogy hasn’t been greeted anywhere near as enthusiastically as the 2018 opener, but it’s still the highest-rated sequel in the franchise’s history on Rotten Tomatoes. The general consensus is that Halloween Kills lives up to its moniker by upping the body count significantly, but director David Gordon Green admitted that filming those gratuitous deaths is often a challenge.

The MonsterVerse Confirmed Loch Ness Monster As A Titan

Scotland’s most famous mythological creature has long since become a part of the public consciousness, with intrepid monster hunters dedicating their entire lives to discovering the beast dwelling in the depth of Loch Ness, while it even yielded a fairly terrible 1996 family film starring Ted Danson as a skeptical scientist.

For decades, the debate about whether or not Nessie is real has raged on, even if many purported ‘sightings’ have been debunked as hoaxes. The scientific community obviously isn’t buying it, but the monster has been a massive boon for tourism in the local area, with gift shops and museums dotted around Loch Ness.

Marvel Confirms Eternals Will Be Split Across 2 Time Periods

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming cosmic epic Eternals is one of the franchise’s most ambitious projects to date; a sprawling saga spanning several thousand millennia that needs to introduce a dozen new characters, establish their motivations, explain why they’ve spent so long hiding in the shadows and set them up as the newest super team on the block.

All of the promotional materials we’ve seen so far have been light on specifics, but they’ve shed more light on how the disparate plot threads come together. Picking up in the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame, the Eternals will be forced to reconcile their differences with each other and battle the Deviants, their arch-nemeses who look to cause havoc on a planet mourning the loss of several of its most high-profile defenders.

Daniel Craig Say Making Quantum Of Solace Was A Sh*t Show

The infamous Writers Guild of America strike put Quantum of Solace into a very difficult position, with longtime James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson admitting they were screwed from the outset after production and release deadlines forced them to start shooting Daniel Craig’s second outing as 007 without a finished script.

Production was then dogged by rumors of behind the scenes disagreements between the leading man and director Marc Forster, with the filmmaker revealing that he struggled making the jump from intimate independent dramas to a $200 million blockbuster.

As the architect of two multi-billion dollar horror properties, not to mention his status as the only person other than James Cameron to have directed a pair of movies from different franchises that earned ten figures apiece at the box office, it would be an understatement to call James Wan a major player in Hollywood.

The co-creator of Saw and Insidious, the architect of The Conjuring Universe, director of Fast & Furious 7 and Aquaman, producer of the Mortal Kombat reboot, the upcoming Salem’s Lot remake and more; Wan’s filmography is comparable to any of Hollywood’s biggest names when it comes to sustained commercial success.

Jerry Seinfeld Apologizes For Bee Movie’s Sexual Subtext

DreamWorks Animation’s Bee Movie is notable for several reasons, none of which have to do with the quality of the movie. Critically and commercially, it was about as middle of the road as it gets; the family film netted a decent box office haul of $293 million and a bang average Rotten Tomatoes score of 49%, so it wasn’t a smash hit or a flop.

It isn’t even noteworthy for being the one and only time Jerry Seinfeld has ever played a major role in any kind of feature. No, Bee Movie has endured as an internet favorite for almost fifteen years because of the memes. Several screengrabs have become staples of meme culture and videos speeding up or slowing down the trailer for no apparent reason went viral with increasing regularity, while people have constantly mocked the idea that a large part of the plot revolves around the implication a human woman wants to have sex with a bee.

James Gunn Addresses Star-Lord Ever Returning To Earth Again

James Gunn is currently in the final stretch of pre-production on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, with cameras set to start rolling before the end of the year. The filmmaker has confirmed that it’ll be his last time directing a movie starring the motley crew of thieves, petty criminals and now universe-saving heroes, while Dave Bautista is also bowing out as Drax.

That would indicate that the Guardians have reached the end of an era, but there are still plenty of stories to be told involving Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana’s Gamora or Karen Gillan’s Nebula, so they could be sticking around the Marvel Cinematic Universe at large for a while to come.

Prior to that, it was pushed to June 25, September 17, September 25 and October 15, although the success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings saw Sony move Let There Be Carnage up by two weeks.

Tom Hardy’s Venom Rumored For Spider-Man: No Way Home

Sony’s superhero sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage is going to be the biggest talking point of the weekend by a wide margin, but the chatter hasn’t even been solely restricted to the movie itself. Ever since Tom Hardy began urging fans not to spoil any surprises for audiences who wanted to remain in the dark, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man has never strayed too far from the forefront of the conversation.

Director Andy Serkis essentially admitted that the long-awaited crossover is happening, while Hardy has been talking it up for years as something that’s been on his mind, and it wasn’t a coincidence that the studio rebranded their entire comic book franchise as Sony’s Spider-Man Universe when Let There Be Carnage was in the final stages of its marketing push.

Throw in a high concept premise about a teenage girl who discovers a futuristic fantasy world and looks to uncover its secrets, as well as George Clooney’s first appearance in a big budget studio blockbuster since Batman & Robin, and excitement was high.

[SPOILERS] Rumored To Be Villain Of Spider-Man/Venom Crossover

Nothing in the carefully-curated world of blockbuster franchises happens by accident, so the interest of comic book fans was piqued when it was revealed Stephen Graham had boarded the cast of Venom: Let There Be Carnage as a San Francisco cop named Mulligan, who enlists Eddie Brock to help him find the whereabouts of Cletus Kasady’s undiscovered victims.

In 2004, Marvel introduced New York City police officer Patrick Mulligan into the mix, who ended up becoming the symbiote known as Toxin. That’s about as far from a coincidence as you can get, so it’s a foregone conclusion at this stage that we’ll be seeing yet another alien parasite debuting in Sony’s shared universe eventually.

No Time To Die Director Compares Shooting To A Choose Your Own Adventure Novel

The process of shooting mega budget studio blockbusters is not an easy one, especially if unexpected circumstances end up derailing or delaying production. James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson admitted they were screwed when cameras began rolling on Quantum of Solace without a completed script, but that didn’t stop the exact same thing from happening again with No Time to Die.

When Daniel Craig suffered an injury that forced him out of action, director Cary Joji Fukunaga was forced to alter the schedule and focus on scenes that didn’t involve the leading man. As the filmmaker revealed in a new interview with Esquire Middle East, the problem was that those scenes hadn’t actually been written yet, forcing him to make things up as he went along in the hopes it would all fit together in post-production.

Andy Serkis Says Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s F-Bomb Is Totally Worth It

The MPAA often comes in for criticism about how and why it decides on its rating system, in particular the judicious use of profanity. You could make a quaint, intimate character-driven drama about something as random or trivial as a married couple buying a new toaster, but if they say “f*ck” more than once, it gets an R-rating.

The solitary F-bomb allowed in PG-13 productions is often shoehorned in for shock value, and in the end it can often end up falling flat. When Tye Sheridan’s Cyclops warns Magneto in Dark Phoenix; “If you touch Jean, I’ll f*cking kill you”, it comes off as a forced attempt to make the actor’s Scott Summers feel like a badass. On the other side of the coin, Hugh Jackman’s First Class cameo is the perfect example of how to maximize foul language within the PG-13 framework.
