Despite the recently released Pet Sematary remake not being the box office juggernaut that was 2017's IT, the Stephen King adaptation still raked in a respectable amount of dough and garnered its share of praise. Considering how it fared pretty well with the current crop of moviegoers, one would think that a sequel will arrive before long.
If there's one thing that's for certain about the month of May, it's that The Flash is going to deliver an unforgettable season finale which could leave us talking throughout the summer months. In years prior, we witnessed the beginning of Flashpoint and saw Barry Allen willingly exiling himself to the Speed Force, so odds are we'll be met with some crazy cliffhanger come next week.
With Avengers: Endgame already proving to be the biggest movie of the year and an absolute powerhouse at the box office, I must say there's a somewhat similar electricity surrounding IT: Chapter Two. Don't get me wrong, I don't see the Stephen King adaptation hitting the $3 billion mark, but I wouldn't be surprised if it raked in $1 billion. Really, it's not often that the horror genre births something that achieves the financial heights of 2017's IT flick, and sequels can often surpass their predecessors in that sense.
Even though Batwoman seemed certain to receive a series order, last night's confirmation of just that sure did come as a sigh of relief. Yes, I was 99% sure that The CW would go ahead with the latest major addition to the Arrowverse, but you can never be too certain these days.
After tuning in for last night's episode of The Flash, I must say that I have to hand it to Eobard Thawne. To put it quite succinctly, everything we've seen thus far this season has been part of an elaborate plan concocted by him so that he may escape execution in 2049. But depending on how next week's season finale goes, we could see this show standing alongside Avengers: Endgame so that fans may relentlessly pick apart its time travel logic.
If you've been collecting DC animated movies for some time, then you probably remember the Showcase shorts from nearly a decade ago. For those unfamiliar, these truncated stories allowed for the likes of the Spectre, Jonah Hex and Green Arrow to shine alongside whichever feature film they complemented. Not long after, each were compiled on a separate home video release, Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam, which was considerably meatier than its brethren but still technically a short itself.
To say that a lot has transpired during Arrow's seventh season is quite the understatement. After kicking things off with Oliver Queen in prison, Star City was graced with a new Emerald Archer whom we assumed to be a hero. But as it turned out, the vigilante was actually Emiko, Ollie's estranged sister, and leader of the terrorist organization known as the Ninth Circle. And since the true Green Arrow was released from the clink, he's had to accept the fact that his own flesh and blood is the new big bad in town.
In a creative move so bold that you’d have thought it originated during Mark Millar’s run on Ultimate Comics Avengers, the House of Ideas have decided to roll out a super group lineup so wild and eclectic that it may take you a while to believe it’s really happening. But I guess that very surprise is what Savage Avengers writer Gerry Duggan and artist Mike Deodato Jr. are counting on.
Even though I knew in my gut that Steve Rogers' tenure as Captain America would end with Avengers: Endgame, I wasn't quite sure of how Marvel Studios would handle it. As luck would have it, they didn't kill him off, but an aged Sentinel of Liberty ended up passing his mantle on to Sam Wilson AKA Falcon - and that's something else I wasn't sure I'd see.
As much as I loved Avengers: Endgame, I must confess something: I enjoyed the first trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home more than anything hyping Earth's Mightiest Heroes' latest cinematic outing. Now, that doesn't mean the wall-crawler's next solo adventure will wind up being better, but that tells you I still have great confidence in it.
