Kate Mulgrew Talks Designing An Animated Janeway In Star Trek: Prodigy

Star Trek: Prodigy‘s premise and audience focus meant it received a mixed reception when it was first announced. The CG-animated show is designed for younger viewers and follows a group of rebellious teenagers who steal a starship and head off to see the galaxy. But just because something is aimed at children that doesn’t mean it can’t be great TV – just look at the continued popularity of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Interest in the show spiked following the announcement that Kate Mulgrew’s Captain Janeway will be returning –  her first appearance since a brief cameo in Star Trek: Nemesis. A little cold water was poured on that hype when it was revealed that this character won’t be the actual Janeway, but an AI training hologram in her image, but it’ll still be nice to have her back.

Robert Downey Jr. Once Met With Marvel For Doctor Doom

Back in the early 2000s, nobody would have predicted that Robert Downey Jr. would go on to become one of the biggest, most popular and highest-paid stars in the industry. Sure, he always had the talent to reach the very top, but his well-publicized personal issues kept setting him back at every turn.

RDJ reached a low point when he was fired from Ally McBeal, despite winning a Golden Globe for his performance, after being arrested while already on parole. It was Mel Gibson who set him on the comeback trail by paying the actor’s insurance bond so he could star in 2003’s The Singing Detective, before he ended up meeting his future wife Susan on the set of Gothika shortly afterwards, with his performance in Shane Black’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in 2005 alerting Jon Favreau to the possibility that he may have found the ideal Tony Stark for his in-development Iron Man movie.

Joss Whedon Wanted Zooey Deschanel As The MCU’s Wasp

Looking at how his reputation now lies in tatters after a string of former collaborators came forward to make numerous and very serious allegations against him, it’s incredible to think that Joss Whedon was once the single most influential filmmaker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the success of The Avengers positioning him as the driving force behind the franchise’s Phase Two.

Kevin Feige always has a long term plan in place for the mythology, and a cameo from Captain Marvel in Age of Ultron ended up getting nixed when a solo movie for Carol Danvers was deemed as a much better introduction, even though the character’s debut was even shot with a stand-in actress.

Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Marks End Of Shooting With Optimus Prime Photo

In just over eight months, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts comes to theaters, and it’ll be very curious to see how the seventh installment in the franchise performs at the box office.

The Michael Bay era generated billions of dollars, but eroded much of the goodwill audiences had towards the adventures of the Autobots and the Decepticons because the quality kept getting worse. Bumblebee was a breath of fresh air for the stagnant series, but critical acclaim couldn’t prevent the prequel from earning the least amount of money.

Jason Momoa Praises The Batman Trailer And Stepdaughter Zoë Kravitz

Jason Momoa knows a thing or two about winning a whole new legion of fans with a superhero role, after his introduction as Arthur Curry in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice eventually yielded the highest-grossing DC Comics adaptation ever made when Aquaman swam to over $1.1 billion at the box office.

Based on the way fans have been talking about The Batman ever since the trailer dropped at last weekend’s FanDome event, you’d think that record might be in danger. The internet exploded in the aftermath of the latest footage, and should the theatrical industry have returned to former glories by March 2022, then a ten-figure haul definitely can’t be ruled out.

Kristen Stewart Responds To Fans Who Want Her As Robert Pattinson’s Joker

The latest trailer for The Batman had barely even arrived online before the talk turned to the Joker, which was inevitable when the Clown Prince of Crime is never too far behind the Dark Knight, regardless of whether we’re talking about film, television, comic books, video games or any other form of media.

We’ve been inundated with rumors that the Jester of Genocide is being lined up for either a fan-baiting cameo in Matt Reeves’ reboot or a full-blown antagonistic role in one of the sequels, with plenty of names being touted in online circles. One of the more unusual contenders fans have been backing is Kristen Stewart, largely due to her long and often complicated history with former Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.

Ghost Rider Co-Creator Addresses Rumors Of MCU Reboot

The role of comic book creators in the live-action adaptations of their work has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently, with Ed Brubaker admitting that seeing trailer for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier made him feel sick, while Marvel took legal action against the estates of several legendary figures including Stan Lee to try and keep hold of the rights to their characters.

One name that’s been coming up an awful lot lately in the relentless churn of the rumor mill is Ghost Rider, with various speculative reports claiming that Nicolas Cage, Keanu Reeves, Norman Reedus or Gabriel Luna could be playing the Spirit of Vengeance in a feature film or TV show that’ll hit either theaters, Disney Plus or Hulu and may or may not connect to a Midnight Sons event.

James Gunn Names Actor Who Gave An Amazing Star-Lord Audition

Chris Pratt was always the director’s preferred candidate to lead the Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster, but if he couldn’t get out of his Parks and Recreation contract to shoot the film, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s Glenn Howerton was next in line.

Blade Director Explains How Riz Ahmed Helped Prepare Him For The MCU

Up until recently, not a lot of people had heard of Bassam Tariq, but that all changed when the filmmaker was announced to be directing the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Blade reboot.

Star Mahershala Ali and producer Kevin Feige had spent six months interviewing candidates and taking pitches before they even hired Stacy Ossei-Kuffour to write the screenplay, so the process of finding the perfect candidate to step behind the camera would have been just as arduous.

The Marvels Will Explore More Of Carol Danvers’ Humanity

For whatever reason, a lot of Marvel Cinematic Universe fans still aren’t sold on the idea of Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, with the actress regularly coming in for criticism online. Some folks thought her performance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s billion-dollar smash hit was lacking in spark and personality, with the stoic former Air Force pilot largely shying away from the franchise’s standard quip-happy model for its heroes.

Sequel The Marvels is currently in front of cameras in the United Kingdom, with Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau and Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan along for the ride in what’s shaping up to be a vastly superior sequel, based only on the talent involved on either side of the camera.

No Time To Die Closing In On $500 Million After Just 3 Weeks In Theaters

Fast & Furious 9 is miles out in front when it comes to naming the highest-grossing Hollywood blockbuster released since the end of 2019, with the latest outing for Dominic Torretto and his ever-expanding family having brought in a hefty $716 million from theaters.

Up until very recently, Godzilla vs. Kong occupied the second spot, but it wasn’t even in the same stratosphere as F9 after topping out at a still-impressive $467 million. However, the MonsterVerse epic has since been dislodged by No Time to Die, with the 25th installment in the James Bond franchise set to cross $500 million globally by the end of this week.

Of course, George Lucas was himself inspired by countless other properties he loved growing up, which includes Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Barsoom series of novels, the films of Akira Kurosawa and Frank Herbert’s Dune to name but three. Denis Villenueve’s epic adaptation of the latter premieres in theaters and on HBO Max today, where it’s looking to seize the headlines on two fronts.

Shazam! Star Reveals Fury Of The Gods Time Jump

Blockbuster timelines are always dependent on the story being told, and we’ve seen movies pick up minutes or even seconds after their previous installments, while others jump years and decades into the future. As a comic book movie populated by teenage characters, though, the DCEU’s Shazam! Fury of the Gods was virtually guaranteed to follow a real-world timeline.

Sure, Hollywood is famous for having actors play teens well into their 20s or even 30s, but there comes a time when you need to draw the line before things start getting ridiculous. Luckily for the Shazam! sequel, stars Asher Angel and Jack Dylan Grazer are still only 19 and 18 respectively, so director David F. Sandberg might even be able to get a third movie out of the pair before they age out of their roles.

Eternals Producer Reveals Major Details About The Villainous Deviants

Following on from the world premiere of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Eternals, an unexpectedly mixed bag of reactions hit the internet, with one of the recurring criticisms of the cosmic comic book adaptation being the sheer volume of exposition contained with a story that runs for over two and a half hours.

While many superhero blockbusters tend to get bogged down in over-explanation, there’s no way Eternals wasn’t going fall into the same trap. When you think about it, the script has to introduce a dozen brand new characters and their respective abilities, establish who they are and where they came from, never mind why they decided to take up residency on Earth.

Speaking at the Rome Film Festival via Variety, Tarantino teased that he’s working on a bizarre experimental comedy that somehow incorporates a multi-lingual Spaghetti Western into the mix, but stressed that it isn’t his final movie.
