Guillermo del Toro and Jennifer Kent are two major names in the world of genre cinema right now, with the former receiving heavy accolades and Oscar glory off the back of The Shape of Water, while the latter marked herself as an important talent to watch with 2014’s The Babadook. So to hear that the two of them are working together on “something scary” will surely be enough to induce squeals of excitement in many a horror fan.
Though Ant-Man and the Wasp had a perfectly respectable run in cinemas, Peyton Reed’s latest film was hardly the box office juggernaut that Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War were before it. We can therefore assume that there are a lot of people out there who checked out the MCU’s other 2018 releases but decided to give the Ant-Man sequel a miss, in which case, they may want to do a little homework in preparation for Marvel’s 2019 slate.
The upcoming Child's Play movie reboot has been a subject of much controversy among longtime fans of the horror series, not least because Don Mancini was already planning a Chucky TV show that kept in line with the original, decades-spanning continuity of the franchise. But in spite of this unexpected big screen competition, it seems that Mancini, producer David Kirschner, and writer-producer Nick Antosca are pushing ahead with the project, and according to Deadline, the Syfy has now landed the rights to develop the show.
Setting its story well over a decade before the events of 2008’s franchise-founding Iron Man, the upcoming Captain Marvel exists in its own relatively isolated period within the MCU timeline. Nonetheless, the film still holds some noteworthy connections to the rest of the Marvel saga.
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has mentioned on more than one occasion that the true value of the MCU’s post-credits scenes lies in how they persuade audiences to stick around and look at the names of the many people who labor over each new chapter in the superhero saga. And if a recent Avengers: Endgame rumor turns out to be legit, then this lengthy list of names may be all the bonus material that audiences will get from the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War sequel.
Last month, Jon Favreau shared a photo from the set of The Mandalorian that confirmed the return of bounty hunter IG-88 from The Empire Strikes Back, and as it turns out, the upcoming Star Wars spinoff show has at least one more Original Trilogy droid lined up for a comeback.
We’ve been getting a lot of mixed signals on Deadpool 3 in this past year, but in recent weeks, the team behind Wade Wilson's solo outings has been largely optimistic on the matter. Ryan Reynolds, for instance, has expressed his doubts on multiple occasions that the threequel will ever happen, only to mention earlier this month that the project was already in the works.
As production on Star Wars: Episode IX nears its end, actor Anthony Daniels has taken to Twitter with a heartfelt message announcing that C-3PO has shot his last scenes for the upcoming trilogy-closer.
“Chewie… we’re home.” So says Han Solo in what quickly became one of the most frequently quoted lines of Star Wars: The Force Awakens both before and since the film’s release. But while Han’s boarding of the Millennium Falcon remains among the most nostalgic moments in a film that’s hardly lacking in that department, some newly shared concept art shows us how the smuggler could’ve been introduced in a very different manner.
Last night saw Black Panther add one more prestigious accolade to the film’s ever-growing list of honors, nabbing a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
