It's a busy time for streaming services at the moment, with Disney Plus and Apple TV+ arriving on the scene this month. This competition creates a headache for Netflix, whose long-term dominance as a streaming platform has been tested in the last year by the loss of license deals and rival original programming. In fact, according to a new survey, Netflix are losing North American subscribers due to price hikes and unsatisfactory content, which may indicate deeper issues for the streamer.
We have less than a year to wait for Halloween Kills, the first of two planned sequels to the 2018 David Gordon Green Halloween. Having recently wrapped production, Halloween Kills is already releasing teases of the upcoming film, with Jamie Lee Curtis leading the praise for what the filmmakers have achieved. Curtis has now come out to praise Kyle Richards' return as Lindsey Wallace from John Carpenter's Halloween, and the strength of her performance.
There've been a few different characters aside from Steve Rogers taking on the role of Captain America in the MCU and the Marvel comics series, with the most notable being Anthony Mackie in The Falcon and the Winter Solder. While Chris Evans hasn't ruled out returning to the part of Rogers, and a zombie Cap likely to happen in the What If...? Disney Plus series, one of the more exciting versions of the character has now been revealed by the House of Ideas as part of a celebration of 80 years of Marvel Comics.
The Infinity Saga box set from Marvel promises a ridiculous amount of MCU content, spanning from the original Iron Man to the most recent 2019 releases. While it's currently hard to get a hold of it, both due to its almost $600 price-tag and copies being snapped up, we are at least getting information about the deleted and bonus scenes that are included in the collection.
It's an exciting time to be a Star Trek fan, with new series Picard on the horizon as well as a new season of Star Trek: Discovery and short specials via Star Trek: Short Treks. However, one of the ongoing challenges of the franchise is nailing down a consistent timeline of the events, something that's been complicated by the new rebooted movie series. The official Trek website has attempted to answer these questions though by posting a video showing the timeline of the franchise's universe.
We don't have long to go until the premiere of Star Trek: Picard, which will see Patrick Stewart return to arguably his most famous role. Having already commented on the significant changes to the world of Star Trek that he wanted to see from the new series, Stewart expanded on these ideas when appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week, revealing that fans should expect there to be some surprises over where Picard and the Federation are in the new series.
The second season of Amazon's The Boys is already shaping up to continue the gleeful excess of its first year. Production has now wrapped on the show, which we're expecting to be with us in mid-2020. We already know that The Boys season 2 will feature new members of corporate superhero team the Seven, and that Amazon are investing more into the budget to continue the series' success. Producer Eric Kripke celebrated the end of shooting by releasing a short film online, which deals with a child version of the sociopathic Homelander.
The current season of American Horror Story has been one of the more impressive in the FX series' long run, delivering twists without the show's bad habit of throwing everything at the wall to see if it sticks. However, American Horror Story: 1984 has also been notable for not featuring many of the series' mainstays, including Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson. This gap will reportedly be fixed in season 10, though, according to showrunner Ryan Murphy.
While seemingly well-established in the MCU as a hero, Doctor Strange could actually be something else entirely. According to a new theory shared over on Screen Geek, Benedict Cumberbatch's character may be heading down a darker path to being the next big bad in the Marvel universe. Based on Strange's storyline to date, and some of the information we've heard about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the theory does raise some intriguing ideas.
It's fair to say that we're all excited about the launch of Disney Plus today, given the ludicrous amount of content the platform will have. However, you may be thinking that the cost of adding another streaming subscription is just too much to bear at the moment, regardless of the quality of Disney Plus series like The Mandalorian. That may be true for some, but to make things easier on our wallets, MovieWeb have rounded up a couple options for getting Disney Plus for free, at least for a short period of time.
