Netflix’s attention-grabbing new thriller is the #1 movie worldwide

Netflix might regularly be delivering movies that find themselves in the thick of the awards season conversation, or churning out star-studded blockbusters with budgets north of $100 million, but one of the streaming service’s most reliable genres is the trashy B-tier thriller.

Any time the platform releases an original feature with a couple of recognizable names and a relatively high concept, it can almost always be relied on to reach the upper echelons of the most-watched list. That becomes especially true if the project in question captures the imagination of social media, which is exactly what’s happened with The Weekend Away.

James Gunn explains why he turned down a ‘Superman’ movie

When James Gunn was initially fired from Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Warner Bros. and DC Films didn’t waste any time in making the filmmaker an offer to head across town and board Hollywood’s other shared superhero universe.

In fact, Gunn has admitted that he was given the choice of virtually any property he wanted, which included Superman. Of course, he opted to play to his strengths and assemble another ragtag team of dysfunctional misfits, which worked out pretty well for everyone in the end.

Marvel Studios exec hypes upcoming Phase Four slate

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has indisputably reigned as the biggest and most popular franchise in the industry for over a decade, but Kevin Feige and his team have shown absolutely no intentions of resting on their laurels.

In fact, the shared superhero mythology has only continued to grow in scope, scale, and spectacle, with Phase Four shaping up to be the most ambitious stage of the relentless expansion by a distance. A lot of that is down to the advent of the Disney Plus era, not to mention the introduction of the multiverse, so all bets are off as to what comes next for the MCU.

Sebastian Stan compares Anthony Mackie’s ‘Captain America’ movie to ‘Rocky’

Marvel Studios didn’t waste any time in getting the ball rolling for Anthony Mackie’s feature-length debut as the franchise’s new Captain America, with the initial announcement breaking on the very same day he suited up for the first time in The Falcon and the Winder Soldier‘s finale.

The Disney Plus show’s lead writer Malcolm Spellman was revealed to be developing the script alongside Dalan Musson, but we haven’t heard a peep out of the project since Mackie was officially confirmed to be starring in August of last year.

A stupendously stupid Dwayne Johnson blockbuster tears it up on streaming

Dwayne Johnson and video games go way back, but the results have tended to be hugely inconsistent.

2005’s adaptation of Doom was a critical and commercial disaster, while he voiced the lead character and provided the motion capture for the middling SpyHunter: Nowhere to Run the following year. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and The Next Level brought in huge money at the box office and went down a treat with audiences, though, even if the blockbuster duo weren’t based on a pre-existing console title.

A 1990s sci-fi thriller that flopped hard is resurgent on Netflix

We’ve gotten used to seeing unloved, unsung, overlooked, and underrated movies returning to prominence and finding a new appreciation on Netflix, but very rarely do we see films widely regarded by almost everybody as irredeemable duds put in a strong showing on the world’s most popular streaming service.

Obviously, it does happen from time to time, and the latest outlier is John Dahl’s 1996 disaster Unforgettable. As per FlixPatrol, the heady concoction that aims to blend the science fiction, thriller, and noir genres together and fails spectacularly at all of them has been rising up the global most-watched list for the last several days.

‘The Batman’ director addresses possible ‘Joker’ crossover

Wherever the Dark Knight goes, the Clown Prince of Crime is never too far behind, so it was inevitable that the rumor mill would dredge up all sorts of speculation touting the Joker as being part of The Batman, whether it was a brief tease or a full-blown cameo appearance.

Barry Keoghan has been luxuriating in the scuttlebutt for a while now, and a lot of you will get that answer later today when you catch Matt Reeves’ reboot on the big screen, but we’ve also heard some pretty wild and far-fetched theories touting a potential showdown between Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader and Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck.

Disney exec says ‘Predator’ reboot ‘Prey’ is a big creative swing

Dan Trachtenberg’s Predator reboot Prey doesn’t even have an official release date locked in as of yet, even if we know it’s heading to Hulu at some point year, but fans are equal parts curious and excited to see what the latest installment in the franchise has in store.

Not only is it the first entry in the long-running series to come backed by the all-powerful Disney machine, but taking the story hundreds of years into the past instantly sets Prey up as a completely fresh and unique spin on the mythology, with the human characters facing a tougher threat than ever before as they gear up to battle the extraterrestrial trophy hunters armed with little more than handmade tools and weapons.

Patrick Stewart compares his ‘Doctor Strange 2’ return to Superman

Hype levels for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness got kicked up a notch on Super Bowl Sunday. We’d already gotten a good look at what was coming in the trailer attached to Spider-Man: No Way Home, but the more recent trailer hinted that the sequel is living up to its multiversal title.

The biggest news was the shocking reappearance of Patrick Stewart’s Professor X. Stewart delivered an iconic performance throughout the Fox X-Men franchise, capping off his tenure with a widely praised turn in Logan. But the multiverse is an infinitely big place, and it appears one version of Charles Xavier sits as part of an interdimensional tribunal.

Pixar exec calls ‘Turning Red’ ‘the most efficient film’ they’ve ever made’

Pixar’s Turning Red lands on Disney Plus next week. The animation powerhouse’s latest feature follows 13-year-old Mei Lee (voiced by Rosalie Chang) as she struggles with the relatable difficulties of adolescence. Also, she turns into a giant red panda when she gets excited or too stressed. Early critics’ reactions to the film have been practically glowing, thus solidifying its potential as yet another smash-hit for Disney.

An interesting wrinkle of the production is that all members of the Turning Red creative leadership team are women. Domee Shi directs, with Julia Cho on script duties and Lindsey Collins producing. The team has already received praise from Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter for their imagination and efficiency.

A surprising teen comedy has been huge on Netflix for almost a week

There’s really no accounting for taste and/or personal preference, but that doesn’t mean we’ve got a ready-made explanation as to why a poorly-reviewed teen comedy that flopped at the box office back in the summer of 2008 has been one of the most-watched movies on Netflix for almost a week.

As per FlixPatrol, Emma Roberts’ Wild Child has been holding firm as a Top 10 title in multiple countries spread across a couple of continents, and it’s even hit number one in certain nations. For what it’s worth, the plot follows a spoiled rich kid who finds herself shipped off to an English boarding school, where she’s given a crash course in life lessons.

Throughout the entirety of the character’s tenure as a key part of Fox’s X-Men franchise, whether it was Patrick Stewart or James McAvoy in the role, Charles Xavier was always established as one of the most powerful mutants there’s ever been.

Now that the bald-headed comic book legend is on his way to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it’s reasonable to expect that Professor X is still a force to be reckoned with. That being said, Stewart has teased that Benedict Cumberbatch’s hero might end up causing some concern.

Titles like Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, The Bone Collector, Rabbit-Proof Fence, The Quiet American, and Salt were all critical and commercial success stories, but his most recent efforts The Giver and Above Suspicion didn’t fare anywhere near as well.

However, things were taken to the next level when Matt Reeves came on board for the final two chapters, with the series now regarded as one of cinema’s all-time great trilogies.
