Zoe Saldana's green-skinned alien warrior, Gamora, was arguably the least developed of the five members of the team in the first Guardians of The Galaxy movie, but that all changed with an expanded role in Vol. 2. The actress was given much more to work with and a far stronger arc this time around, and "the most dangerous woman in the universe" ended up emerging as one of the Marvel sequel's many highlights.
When it comes to Marvel Studios movies, a respectable box office haul is almost a guarantee. Even their lesser efforts put most other blockbusters to shame in terms of earnings and today, 9 years after first kicking off the MCU with 2008's Iron Man, the franchise has hit another impressive milestone. Thanks to James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which debuted overseas this weekend, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has now brought in $11 billion worldwide.
Video game adaptations are a tricky beast. Many have tried to turn some of the medium's most iconic and beloved properties into feature films only to come up short. It happens time and time again and at this point, it seems as if the curse will never be broken. I mean, if the combined talents of Justin Kurzel, Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard couldn't crack it, is there any hope left?
Wonder Woman is just over a month away now, but with all the attention being placed firmly on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at the moment, you'd be forgiven for not knowing. In fact, fans have been growing increasingly worried in recent weeks, claiming that Warner Bros. hasn't been doing enough marketing for the film, fearing that the studio may be getting ready to write it off. While it's still too early to make those kind of claims, it does feel like there's been a lack of promotional material compared to what we see from other comic book movies. Or at least, there was. Now, however, things look to be picking up.
After leaving his mark on the sci-fi genre with the incredible District 9, director Neill Blomkamp followed up his debut pic with Elysium and Chappie. Admittedly, neither film hit quite the same heights that his first effort did, but they were still impressive enough to catch the attention of same pretty important people in Hollywood. As such, Blomkamp quickly found himself attached to Alien 5, which would reunite him with Sigourney Weaver after working with the actress on Chappie.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine was a disaster. You know it, we know it, and everyone who saw it (and even those who didn't) knows it. However, there were a few redeeming qualities - not many, but a few - and one of the bright spots was Liev Schreiber's Sabertooth.
Summer is quickly approaching, and to celebrate, Yahoo! has rolled out their annual preview feature, giving us looks at some of the biggest films coming down the pipeline over the next few months. Yesterday, we saw photos from blockbusters like The Dark Tower, Alien: Covenant, The Mummy and more and today, we've got yet another pic to share with you. Seen above, it's taken from Spider-Man: Homecoming and while not entirely new (this scene was shown in the trailer), it's still a great shot of the web-slinger doing his best to save the passengers on that ferry.
When it comes to spoilers, HBO usually has a pretty good handle on Game of Thrones. Sure, it's not exactly airtight, as a few plot details always tend to leak out ahead of time, but for the most part, the network knows how to keep things under wraps. However, for the upcoming seventh season, it appears that the security measures taken may not have been enough, as according to star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the spoilers are already out there.
Ah yes, the summer movie season. It's a time when every studio pushes out their blockbusters, tentpoles, sequels, franchise starters, etc. For several months straight, we see one juggernaut film after another hit theatres, with each one hoping to capitalize on what's traditionally known as the most lucrative period of the year at the box office. While not every release will be a hit, each summer usually brings with it a few can't miss movies and 2017 is no different.
If you recall - and how could you not? It was only a few months ago - 20th Century Fox kicked off the marketing campaign for Logan with a series of black and white stills. It continued on for quite a while, too, leading many to wonder if the film itself would be released without color. Of course, that didn't turn out to be the case, but thanks to how gorgeous some of those aforementioned shots were, fans have been curious to see what a black and white cut of the threequel might look like.
