Though it's been a while now since we last saw Doctor Who co-stars Matt Smith and Karen Gillan share the screen, the pair still operate in the same, Marvel-related circles. And as production gets underway for Sony’s Morbius, Smith recalls how the Guardians of the Galaxy star was the one who talked him into giving the superhero genre a try.
A fresh development emerges in the ongoing drama over Captain Marvel’s Rotten Tomatoes page, with the site now offering an explanation for why the number of user ratings was implausibly high on the day of release, before experiencing a sudden drop.
Captain Marvel’s introduction to the MCU was first teased in the post-credits of Avenges: Infinity War, when Nick Fury spent his final moments of life shooting her a message with a heretofore unseen pager. Until recently, that little scene was the closest thing that Carol Danvers had to a big screen presence in the franchise, so it’s only natural that so many fan questions concerning the heroine come back to that one pager. As was expected, the newly released Captain Marvel movie offers a few answers, and since we’re going to be discussing them here, be warned that spoilers lie ahead.
As the Maleficent sequel edges closer to its fall release date, it sounds like things are already starting to come together for another live-action film that seeks to humanize a popular Disney villain, with The Hashtag Show reporting that Nicole Kidman is being eyed for a part in the upcoming Cruella.
Amidst the online ugliness that’s lately been unfolding around the new Captain Marvel movie, many a comparison has been made with 2016’s female-led Ghostbusters, which was famously the subject of its own heavy backlash in the months leading up to its release.
Though we may be at least another month away from seeing the first teasers for Star Wars: Episode IX and The Mandalorian (the fans are counting on you, Star Wars Celebration), the internet has still managed to yield a little more footage from that other major Star Wars event of 2019, the theme park expansion Galaxy’s Edge.
Though 2017’s The Last Jedi famously let the past die, this year’s Star Wars: Episode IX sees the notoriously nostalgic J.J. Abrams return to the helm. And while we’ve yet to see a single second of footage from the Force Awakens helmsman’s upcoming trilogy-closer, it seems that at least one callback to the Original Trilogy has already been more or less confirmed.
While the online backlash against Captain Marvel spreads far and wide across the internet, it feels like the conversation just keeps coming back to the movie’s Rotten Tomatoes page, where over 54,000 user ratings were recently deleted.
Whether you love Captain Marvel, hate it or – as is the case for most of the filmgoing public right now – haven’t got round to seeing it yet, there’s no denying that the movie has put up with a remarkable amount of hogwash online, much of it concerning star Brie Larson. It’s therefore impossible not to approach any new rumor that casts both the film and the actress in a negative light with maximum skepticism.
Yesterday, a new batch of footage from the upcoming Avengers: Endgame screened at the Walt Disney Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and while we’ve already heard a fair amount about the content of the preview, Twitter user Scott Ladewig has now offered a slightly more detailed breakdown.
