Keanu Reeves may have been around Hollywood for decades, but it sure does look like his popularity isn't cooling off anytime soon. In fact, one could say it's reignited in recent years. The Matrix Trilogy may be long behind us, sure, but the John Wick series and subsequent roles in Toy Story 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 have managed to further capture the interest of the veteran actor's fanbase.
By now, you're probably aware of how Tom Holland has a penchant for spilling beans. In fact, his lips are so loose that he wasn't even given a full script for Avengers: Endgame. Instead, he had only his own lines to read over. That, my friends, is compartmentalization at its finest.
These days, it sure does seem like folks far and wide are catching Keanu Reeves Fever. Actually, it's highly understandable because the guy has a number of box office hits and cult classics under his belt. After making a name for himself in the Bill & Ted movies, he then went on to star in Speed and The Matrix Trilogy, the latter of which remains a personal favorite of this writer. More recently, the John Wick series has won over audiences with its stylish action scenes and gorgeous cinematography. Oh yeah, there's also the fact that Keanu just happens to be a really likable fella.
To True Believers the world over, the Spider-Verse concept isn't entirely new. Basically, it expands upon the idea of the multiverse and applies it to the various iterations of Spider-Man that have existed - and then teams them up for some sort of kick-ass crossover.
These days, we know Dwayne Johnson to be one of the biggest names in Hollywood, but I and other pro wrestling fans have been familiar with him for an even longer period. That's right, before he lit up the screen, we all smelled what "The Rock" was cookin' back in the 1990's. You know, when WWE (then WWF) was still watchable.
As a realist, I can't rule out the possibility of Warner Bros. releasing the elusive Zack Snyder Cut of Justice League on home video at some point down the line, just as they once did with Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut. That said, my gut tells me they won't give up the goods anytime soon.
In the past decade or so, the comic book medium sure has seen its share of Superman origin stories. Though Birthright was still fresh in our memories, that didn't stop Secret Origin, Earth One, American Alien or Grant Morrison's Action Comics run from happening. And while there was a connective thread of sorts, each brought something new to the table. If any of them managed to break new ground, it was most certainly American Alien, though that take is hardly getting in the last word.
Whenever a beloved TV show gets cancelled, devoted fans pretty much feel like they’ve been dealt an emotional kick to the gut. No matter if said series has run for fifteen seasons or only thirteen episodes, it seems like such a wound never heals. If you don’t believe me, just ask anyone with an affinity for Firefly or Constantine.
If you're a True Believer with access to the internet, then there's a good chance you got caught up in the Spider-Man 4 hoopla that went down in the past few days.
To be completely honest, we've all been mostly left in the dark regarding Wonder Woman 1984's plot until just recently. Then again, knowing that Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins are returning as lead actress and director, respectively, is probably enough for most moviegoers to confidently lay down money for a ticket.
