With last year’s Venom exceeding all expectations at the box office, Sony now has the encouragement they need to push forward with plans for their own comic book universe. The first spinoff on the agenda looks to be Morbius, featuring Jared Leto in the title role, and according to a new report from Variety, the film will also see Matt Smith of Doctor Who and The Crown fame make his SUMC debut.
Rob Zombie’s two Halloween films remain among the most divisive entries in the franchise’s eleven-movie run.

Last night, the story emerged that 3% of DC’s workforce, along with 10% of staff at Warner Bros. Consumer Products, was being laid off, and according to comic book artist Ethan Van Sciver, the commercial failure of 2017’s Justice League has a lot to do with these cuts.
Despite his untimely death in Avengers: Infinity War, 2019 is set to be a big year for Peter Parker, with the young hero expected to make a comeback in Avengers: Endgame before returning to the forefront with Spider-Man: Far From Home.

This month has seen an abundance of Avengers: Endgame toy leaks emerge online, several of which have served to confirm the long-running belief that the Avengers: Infinity War sequel will see numerous heroes in some shiny new white suits. Better yet, Screen Rant has observed that one little feature on the costumes may tell us just what these outfits are meant for.
After years of staying tight-lipped on the content of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel isn’t about to give the whole game away at the last minute.

Though Wonder Woman 1984 is still well over a year away from reaching cinemas, the rapturous response to the first movie pretty much ensures box office success for the sequel.

For the past year, Luke Skywalker has remained by far the favorite character of the Star Wars: Episode IX rumor mill, with the hero getting enough reported scenes to fill up his own solo movie.
