For all intents and purposes, we'll just have to say that Steve Rogers' time as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has met its conclusion. Though it is very possible that the studio could bring him back at some point down the line, Sam Wilson AKA the Falcon is now wielding the shield - so it's not advised you hold your breath waiting for a comeback.
Considering how twenty-two years have gone by since we last received a Mortal Kombat movie, I'm sure lots of us were starting to think there would never be another one. But after more than two decades of rumors and false promises, it feels strange to see a reboot coming together so smoothly.
With each passing season of The Flash, we've come to expect change in various respects. I mean, not only have we met various iterations of Harrison Wells and seen the titular hero don several different costumes, but the Scarlet Speedster and his daughter from the future, Nora, have actually succeeded in altering the timeline.
As big of a success as 2018's Halloween released by Blumhouse Productions has been, I remain intrigued as to how its retconning of the Michael Myers-Laurie strode relationship went over with moviegoers. After decades of having accepted them as brother and sister, the latest entry into the franchise disregarded this element, as it followed only the events depicted in the 1978 original.
In some parallel universe, we're already gearing up for Wonder Woman 1984's theatrical release. Well, we technically are doing so on the Earth on which we reside, but let's not forget how the highly anticipated sequel had originally been slated for exhibition this November. Instead, we'll have to wait until next summer for the Amazon Warrior's next big screen adventure.
Right now, I imagine that I'm not the only DC fan eagerly awaiting a full Birds of Prey trailer. Though the flick may not be out until early next year, I'm dying to see what this big screen team-up involving Harley Quinn, Huntress and Black Canary yields. There was that brief teaser from a while back, but it was exactly that - a teaser.
If you're familiar with Spider-Man in comics and animation, then you're well aware of how he boasts one of the most expansive rogues galleries in the entire superhero genre. After five solo films, it really seems like we're only beginning to scratch the surface, but Sony does have a habit of retreading familiar territory.
Although we're still very early in the game, the recently announced She-Hulk series set to premiere on Disney Plus is really shaping up to be something special. I mean, not only is it exciting to see the titular heroine headlining her own TV show at long last, but we've gotten word of a few more villains who'll appear.
Something I happen to admire about Neal Adams is that he's still actively working in the comic book industry after having done so for decades. Sometimes, guys will retire for one reason or another and stick to convention appearances, but Neal's still churning out new material - and not just cover art. No, he's actually been writing and illustrating various miniseries in recent years.
By now, you don't need me to tell you that Halloween just so happens to be one of the most beloved and enduring horror film franchises of all time - just like you're no doubt aware of how wacky its timeline is. Really, it's essentially become a "choose your own adventure" series that branches in various directions, depending on which directors regard which sequels.
