For longtime fans of the Candyman movies, seeing anyone but Tony Todd in the title role is going to take some getting used to, but it may help that the man they've got in to fill his shoes already has some major villain credentials.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi may have its share of passionate detractors, but it also has a whole load of fans on its side, including Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, who recently revealed his favorite moment from Rian Johnson’s film.
Never has so much speculation been made over the mere name of a film than for the movie formerly known as “Avengers 4,” with the forums flooding throughout 2018 with rumors and theories on what the official title could be and when we might find out. The build-up to the unveiling of the name Avengers: Endgame got so intense that even Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige had to admit that the choice to keep the title under wraps “sort of backfired” by ensuring that no title could possibly live up to all the hype they’d created around it.
As of this month, it's now been over a decade since a Friday the 13th film made its way to cinemas, and thanks to the ongoing legal battle between producer Sean S. Cunningham and writer Victor Miller, the next installment could still be at least a few more years away.
When the result was read on Sunday night that Green Book had won the Academy Award for Best Picture, there were many eyebrows raised online, and while Spike Lee’s heavily circulated response to the verdict has channeled the feelings of many a Twitter user, the reaction of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman has proven similarly meme-worthy.
Earlier this month, YouTuber Jimmy Champane released a video offering an update of the ongoing legal messiness around Friday the 13th, explaining why Jason Voorhees hasn’t found his way to theaters in over ten years. Now it seems that Champane has followed up that video with a similar breakdown for A Nightmare on Elm Street, a franchise that hasn’t been seen in cinemas since the 2010 remake, despite facing none of the legal complications that have kept Friday the 13th tied up.
Oscar night was a pretty great evening to be Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, with Black Panther winning the studio its first ever Academy Awards and beating the record for most Oscars won by a superhero movie. So maybe the producer was just in a good mood when he offered a generous response to a morbid question about the upcoming Avengers: Endgame.
Though Avengers: Infinity War came home empty-handed from the 91st Academy Awards, co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo were still gracious enough to offer their congrats to Black Panther and the various people who worked to make it an Oscar-winner.
The 91st Academy Awards ceremony was a big night for Marvel Studios, not just for the three Oscars won by Black Panther, but also for the many MCU actors who got on stage to announce the winners, from Chris Evans to Paul Rudd to Chadwick Boseman. Even Captain Marvel co-stars Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson showed up to present the awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, the latter of which saw Spike Lee finally nab his first competitive Oscar for his work on BlackKkKlansman.
You may have heard reports lately of Captain Marvel’s Rotten Tomatoes page being flooded with negative comments in a coordinated effort to reduce the film’s audience approval score. Given that the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy is an even touchier subject online than the upcoming Marvel movie, it was to be expected that Star Wars: Episode IX would get the same treatment, but what was less predictable is that the Rotten Tomatoes backlash would start almost ten months prior to the pic’s release.
