The Star Wars franchise has a history when it comes to offering unnecessary origin stories for the names of classic characters, but thanks to a tidbit recently shared by the Star Wars Holocron Twitter account, you may genuinely find that the name “C-3PO” takes on just a little more emotional weight.
Though Daniel Radcliffe has been quick to shoot down the rumor that he might be in the running to replace Hugh Jackman as the next Wolverine, the Harry Potter actor apparently thinks he’d be a much better fit for another major superhero.
It’s now been almost eight years since the Harry Potter film series wrapped up, and after the closure offered by 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, most fans aren’t exactly crying out for Daniel Radcliffe to reprise his role for further sequels. Nonetheless, thanks to the ongoing Fantastic Beasts series, the Wizarding World has maintained a presence on the big screen over the years, and if you ask Radcliffe, there’s even potential for the franchise to branch out into further stories.
Having successfully purged the universe of half its population, the ending of Avengers: Infinity War saw Thanos follow through on his plan to “finally rest, and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe.” In Avengers: Endgame, however, you can expect the Mad Titan to return once more to the action, and if the various leaked merchandise featuring the villain is anything to go by, then the purple conqueror will really be piling on the armor this time round.
Lately, there’s been a lot of chatter online about the idea of Daniel Radcliffe filling Hugh Jackman’s shoes as the next Wolverine, and while most fans saw the notion as more of a joke than a genuine possibility, the Harry Potter actor still thought it best to clear the air and assure us that he’s not in line for the role.
If the protracted title of Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is anything to go by, then Margot Robbie’s character is set to be the star of Cathy Yan’s upcoming flick. But seeing how this is still a team-up movie, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to hear that the DC feature may end up doing what cinematic universe films are supposed to do and spawn a few spinoffs.
Zac Efron may have permanently shattered his old persona as a Disney Channel heartthrob with his recent turn as serial killer Ted Bundy in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile, but in a new post from BossLogic, the fan artist imagines what it would look like if the actor returned to the Mouse House in a very different role.
With Lucasfilm being even more stingy than expected on the details of Star Wars: Episode IX, a lot of hopes are being pinned right now on this April’s Star Wars Celebration, which is widely predicted to see the premiere of the first proper trailer for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming trilogy-closer. But if the annual event wasn’t cause for enough hype already, some fans are taking the attendance of Ian McDiarmid as a sign that a certain Sheev Palpatine could be making a cameo in this December’s release.
Though the upcoming Child’s Play movie reboot is only a few months away from reaching cinemas, many longtime fans of the franchise are more excited about the TV show that series creator Don Mancini is bringing to SyFy. And while the project is still a while away from completion, executive producer Nick Antosca has already shared a few details on the series, including its working title, which is “Chucky.”
Sylvester Stallone remains active in promoting the upcoming Rambo V: Last Blood on social media, with the star’s latest Instagram post offering a breakdown of John Rambo’s backstory.
