Wolverine will probably always be the signature role of Hugh Jackman in the eyes of many a moviegoer, but the actor seems perfectly happy to have moved onto the next phase of his career. Earlier this week, for instance, the Australian star reaffirmed his reluctance to reprise the part before specifically stating that he doesn’t think the world wants to see a crossover between Logan and his old X-Men Origins: Wolverine co-star Deadpool.
The cameo from Maul in Solo: A Star Wars Story might be a bigger deal for the franchise than most fans realize, suggesting that Lucasfilm is willing to incorporate developments from the animated shows into the films in ways that are upfront and obvious, even at the risk of leaving casual viewers confused. In this light, it comes as little surprise that some of the recent Star Wars: Episode IX speculation concerns further connections with Star Wars Rebels, with this new rumor prompting fans to suspect a possible appearance from a grown up Ezra Bridger.
Pixar movies have been known to chew up and spit out many a naïve filmgoer who comes to them expecting little more than a cutesy bit of light entertainment, and that was especially true for the childhood-ending final third of Toy Story 3. Needless to say, the bar has been set high for Toy Story 4, but actor Tim Allen insists that next year’s release will be packing a comparable emotional punch.
Just one month after delivering the highly anticipated conclusion to the John Wick trilogy, Keanu Reeves will be returning to theaters once again in a rather more family-friendly sequel, with the news breaking last night that the Matrix star has a part in Pixar’s Toy Story 4.

When the news was first announced that Deadpool 2 would be re-released in cinemas in a PG-13 cut, the majority of reactions among the fans ranged from baffled to outraged, but with all the new footage that’s been shot for Once Upon a Deadpool, it’s clear that a good few of these detractors will still be showing up to the theaters, if only begrudgingly.
Spider-Man’s introduction to the MCU may have been a little sudden, but it’s evident that Tony Stark was keeping track of the web-slinger prior to his arrival in Captain America: Civil War. And with this in mind, a fan on Reddit has gone one further to suggest that Steve Rogers himself was also aware of this friendly neighborhood hero before the pair ever crossed paths.
These next couple of weeks are set to either be a very important or very disappointing time for Marvel fans, with the first Avengers 4 trailer widely predicted to come out before the end of this month, but with slight doubts starting to emerge from various parts of the internet. Indeed, as November moves into its final third, we've had no clear signs from Marvel Studios or the Russo Brothers of the teaser’s impending arrival, but however this current online uncertainty is resolved, we can at least be comfortable in knowing that the Avengers 4 Prelude comic will be released next month.
With filming well underway for next year’s Rambo V: Last Blood, these last couple of months have seen a generous array of set photos and casting announcements come our way, and if this new post from Splash Report is anything to by, we now have a much better idea of how John Rambo’s seemingly final adventure will play out.
Bill Maher received heavy backlash over the weekend for an incendiary blog piece disparaging the legacy of the late Stan Lee, along with comic book culture in general, and in his recent appearance on Larry King Now, the comedian and political commentator remained characteristically unrepentant.
