The cast of Disney's upcoming Han Solo spinoff has just grown a bit bigger today, as The Wire's Michael K. Williams is said to be climbing on board in a key role. Variety are the ones with the report, and while they didn't disclose anything further, we expect him to be an important part of the plot.
Logan has been receiving a great deal of critical acclaim since those first press screenings, and while Deadpool may have failed to break into this year's Academy Awards, there are those who believe that James Mangold's movie stands a very real chance of doing so, and we'd have to agree with them.
Cinematic universes are all the rage these days. It seems like almost every blockbuster coming out of Hollywood is either part of one or trying to start one. Of course, Marvel and DC are leading the way when it comes to this type of thing, but many other franchises are now following suit and with the release of the Power Rangers reboot right around the corner, you've got to wonder if Lionsgate has similar plans.
James Mangold's Logan hits theaters today and marks Hugh Jackman's final time playing the iconic hero. It's been one hell of a run, but the actor is now ready to hang up the adamantium claws, and if the reviews are anything to go by, the threequel is going to give him one hell of a sendoff. But it won't only be the Aussie waving goodbye to the X-Men franchise, as his co-star, Patrick Stewart, has also revealed that he's finished with all things mutants, leaving behind the role of Professor Charles Xavier for good.
Of all the superhero movies on the way over the next few years, Captain Marvel is one of the most highly anticipated. With Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson (Kong: Skull Island) in the title role, it's easy to see why, though the hero's big-screen debut is long overdue regardless.
Love them or loathe them, the Transformers movies continue going from strength to strength at the box office, hence why Paramount Pictures is now hoping to expand that world with a shared universe - one which will include Bumblebee, a spinoff that just recently found a director in the form of Travis Knight.
2017 is a big year for Venom, as Eddie Brock looks set to finally make his long overdue return. However, symbiotes as a whole will be making their presence felt in the Marvel Universe in a huge way over the coming months, starting with the five-issue Edge of Venomverse miniseries this June.
A lot of names are doing the rounds right now for Cable in Deadpool 2, and the latest one to have emerged is Stranger Things star David Harbour. However, another report reveals that Man of Steel's Michael Shannon was also briefly in the running to play the character before being forced to pass due to scheduling issues. There's nothing to say that he would have ultimately got the part, of course, but it would have been a great bit of casting and a perfect opportunity for the Deadpool sequel to poke fun at Superman's last solo movie.
In this week's episode of The Flash, the team managed to overcome a devastating attack from Gorilla Grodd and his army. Unfortunately, they won't have too much time to catch their breath, as the self-proclaimed Speed God, Savitar, prepares to return from his exile in the Speed Force.
Over the past few weeks, Disney and Lucasfilm have seemingly dropped the episode numbers from the titles of their Star Wars movies. While both Star Wars Episode VII and Episode VIII were referred to by those names before receiving official monikers (Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi), the numbers have now vanished from all official marketing and promotional materials.
