Canadian comedian Jim Carrey has compiled a wildly varied filmography during a career that has spanned nearly four decades, from mid-1980s comedies like Once Bitten and Peggy Sue Got Married to his breakout role as pet detective Ace Ventura in a pair of mid-1990s comedies to more dramatic parts in mid-2000s films like The Number 23 and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Playing Dom Toretto's estranged brother Jakob, WWE Superstar John Cena is looking ahead in the hopes that there's a place for him in Fast & Furious 10.
While showing off his shield-throwing form in the trailer for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson earned the title of America's Ass from MCU fans.
The long-awaited first glimpse of the forthcoming slate of Marvel Cinematic Universe streaming series set to debut on Disney+ finally arrived in the final act of last night's Super Bowl LIV, and tucked into the final third of the 30-second promo, we saw a clip lasting all of four seconds, almost a third of which included rapidly alternating versions of the logo for Loki, likely meant to reflect the God of Mischief's ability to change his external appearance while remaining the same chaotic character. We then see a starkly-lit image of the title character seated at a table, wearing wrist shackles as he says, "I'm going to burn this place to the ground."
The newly-christened Fast Saga has traveled an awful lot of miles since its earliest days as a story about illicit street racing based on a Vibe magazine article titled "Racer X" to its current status as the ninth-highest-grossing film series of all time, closely tailgating the X-Men series, which it will pass when Fast & Furious 9 debuts this Memorial Day weekend.
While promoting Sonic the Hedgehog, in which he plays the villainous inventor Dr. Ivo Robotnik, the eccentric and occasionally controversial Jim Carrey was asked which of the movies from his wildly varied filmography he believed would be a prime candidate to be remade in a contemporary context, and named Peter Weir's 1998 existentialistic The Truman Show.
The last few years have seen a flurry of films designed to retcon away undesirable entries in long-standing franchises. 2016's Blair Witch treated the events of Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 as a movie-within-a-movie as it continued the story of the 1999 independent film The Blair Witch Project; 2018's Halloween ignored all nine installments in that franchise after the 1978 original; and this year's forthcoming Candyman follow-up intends to ignore 1995's Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh and 1999's Candyman: Day of the Dead, while Ghostbusters: Afterlife, will disregard 2016's franchise reboot Ghostbusters: Answer the Call.
