I'm a writer/editor who's been at the site since 2015. I cover politics, weird history, video games and... well, anything really. Keep it breezy, keep it light, keep it straightforward.
In the end, the backstage drama about Solo: A Star Wars Story turned out to be far more compelling than the rather dull, mediocre movie. I can't in good conscience say it's a bad film, but it's certainly not something I'll be thinking about for a while and for me, lies somewhere above the prequels but below all the rest of the Star Wars movies in terms of quality. If Phil Lord and Chris Miller had been able to realize their original vision, though, could it have been better?
A very common fan theory for the future of the MCU is that Chris Evans is soon to hang up his shield and leave the franchise, with Bucky Barnes officially taking up the mantle of Captain America. So, it defied expectations when, in the finale of Avengers: Infinity War, Buck was one of many prominent heroes to collapse into a pile of dust. The ending was so surprising, in fact, that I couldn't help but wonder what the actors made of it. I mean, presumably they assumed their characters had more stories to tell, right?
E3's just around the corner and it's looking like we'll see what Warner Bros. and Rocksteady have cooked up for us quite soon. But do these job listings hint at a new Batman game?
Some industry analysts thought that after the all you can eat superhero smorgasbord of Avengers: Infinity War, audiences would be a bit tired of the genre. It seems that our appetite for comic book action is insatiable, though, as has been proven by Deadpool 2 smashing box office records for an R-rated movie left, right and centre.
Aquaman's weighed down with some heavy expectations. As the first post-Justice League DCEU film, the future of the whole cinematic universe could live or die with it. If director James Wan gets things right, then audiences might just write off the last few movies as an aberration and treat this as a fresh start. If it's mediocre (or just plain bad), then fans might finally decide en mass that the DCEU is synonymous with crappy superhero pics.
I've just watched the trailer for Jackie Chan's new film Bleeding Steel, which appears to be about the actor rescuing his daughter after she's been kidnapped by a Borg from Star Trek that lives in a Star Destroyer. His daughter also seems to have some kind of mechanical heart.
Ever since the promotional campaign began for the Merc's first solo outing, the films have jokingly subverted blockbuster cliche and done the unexpected. Now, in an interview with THR, Deadpool 2 screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have revealed that they might just skip a third film entirely and go right to Deadpool 4.
WWE star Titus O'Neil has revealed on Twitter that he's following in the footsteps of fellow colleague Dave Bautista and heading to the MCU. The wrestler, known for his excellently named finishing move Clash of the Titus, immediately kicked off a storm of speculation as to what project he's going to be involved in. To date, though, we still have no confirmation on where he'll appear.
