Furiosa Could’ve Been An Anime – And We Now Know The Original Director

This would have been an incredible choice. Maeda has contributed to some legendary anime as a designer, including working on the designs of the Angels in “Neon Genesis Evangelion” (designs that later inspired the alien in Jordan Peele’s “Nope”), as well as Ghibli films like “Porco Rosso” and “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.” […]

Why Marvel Chose To Make Less Money By Casting Benedict Cumberbatch As Doctor Strange [Exclusive]

Marvel couldn’t have made a better choice if it had the Time Stone itself.

Meet The Lion Who Would Be King In The First Mufasa: The Lion King Trailer

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a movie that makes more than $1.6 billion at the box office is probably going to get another franchise entry greenlit very, very quickly. Such is the case with the 2019 “live-action” remake of “The Lion King,” which didn’t leave much of a pop culture imprint, but certainly had […]

The LEGO Dune Ornithopter Is One Of The Coolest Building Brick Vehicles Ever

As a bonus, the LEGO “Dune” Ornithopter features many more characters than those who might be seen flying the vehicle.

Zendaya Fans Launch Challengers To A $15 Million Box Office Debut

“Challengers” and “Dune: Part Two” have something in common besides Zendaya: both movies were originally supposed to release in the latter half of 2023, but were delayed in response to the actors strike. Those two commonalities aren’t disconnected, but speak to Zendaya’s growing star power, since the strike would have meant her absence from the […]

Challengers’ Sexy Hotel Scene Answered An Important Question For The Film

The scene illuminates so much about these three characters and their individual relationships to one other, making clear that this triangle functions best when each component is drawn to the other two, sometimes in ways that are so primal they don’t even know how to verbalize them.

Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer Teases The Return Of More Forgotten Marvel Mutants

On Deathstrike’s right is Azazel, another “X-Men” villain but a less beloved one. Introduced during Chuck Austen’s, shall we say, unpopular run on “Uncanny X-Men,” Azazel is (or was, since it has since been retconned) the father of Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler.
