EW has proven to be the gift that keeps on giving this holiday season. The magazine has debuted several new photos over the past few days, giving us great looks at some of 2017's hottest films. There was Captain Underpants, Dunkirk, It and Baby Driver among others. Now, it's time for John Wick: Chapter 2 to step up to the plate.
In 2017, Universal Pictures will try once again to get their own MCU off the ground. No, we're not talking about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We're referring to the Monsters Cinematic Universe, which will feature many of the studio's classic characters. Kicking things off this spring is The Mummy, which recently debuted a spooky and thrilling first trailer. Now, following up on that, EW has delivered a brand new image from the film.
It's hard to believe, but Beauty and the Beast is now 25 years old. The film still remains one of Disney's best efforts to date and is widely considered to be a classic, and rightfully so. As such, it's no surprise that the Mouse House is now remaking it via a live-action adaptation which is scheduled to hit theatres this March.
Tom Hardy has quickly developed into one of the most talented and reliable actors of his generation, showing a real knack for characters that are as dark as they are fiercely intense. That's a path he'll continue on this January with FX's gritty miniseries Taboo, which has the British thesp stepping into the grubby boots of swashbuckling adventurer, James Keziah Delaney.
2017 is going to be packed to the brim with superhero movies. You've got Wonder Woman, Logan, Justice League and Spider-Man: Homecoming to name but a few. But buried beneath all those massive tentpoles you've also got another superhero film, albeit a very different one.
20th Century Fox is in a bit of trouble with their X-Men franchise. The latest instalment, Apocalypse, was incredibly disappointing and underperformed at the box office, and several of the actors are no longer under contract anymore. We're not just talking about the supporting players, either. No, we're referring to the big three: Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender were all under contract up until Apocalypse, which means they don't have to return to the franchise if they don't want to.
Looks like the beast isn't quite done (or cooked) after all; more than two years on from the moment when Ridley Scott swore off Xenomorphs seemingly for good - "I got lucky meeting H.R. Giger all those years ago. It’s very hard to repeat that," the director said at the time - the first teaser trailer for Alien: Covenant has clawed its way online promising a new breed of galactic horror. And there's a real, exciting emphasis on horror here.
Holiday events are nothing new for the gaming world, and those who play Overwatch will know full well that Blizzard is embracing the trend this year by giving us the Winter Wonderland event, which was wrapped up in the shooter’s latest update that went live earlier this week.
John Wick wasn't exactly a box office smash back when it debuted in February 2014, but thanks to strong reviews and a rabid fanbase that ate up the film's stylish action scenes and one of Keanu Reeves' best performances in years, Lionsgate ordered up a sequel.
While comic book movies have come a long way in the past decade or so, it seems that not every actor is on board with them just yet. One person who never really had any interest in suiting up for Marvel or DC was Jon Bernthal. However, after eventually signing on for the role of the Punisher in season 2 of Daredevil, he began to see things differently.
