Outside of the rather hilarious sucker punch from Joss Whedon's The Avengers, the fraught relationship between Chris Hemsworth's Norse God and Mark Ruffalo's hulking green rage monster hasn't necessarily been given the screentime it deserves up until now. That's all set to change with the release of Thor: Ragnarok in 2017, which seems to be aligning itself more with a comedic road movie with each passing day.
Paramount's casting process for its "badass" and R-rated Baywatch movie has been fascinating to watch largely because it's shown no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Only last week, Quantico starlet Priyanka Chopra was the latest actress to board the studio's burgeoning ensemble piece, and now Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has formally confirmed the addition of Ilfenesh Hadera.
Esteemed Chinese actor and martial arts expert Jet Li has joined the ranks of long-gestating action sequel xXx 3: The Return of Xander Cage, where he will lock horns with Vin Diesel's gun-toting series hero.
Warner Bros. promised a boat load of trailers, teases and featurettes to coincide with last night's DC Films Presents: The Dawn of the Justice League - and boy did it deliver. Not only did the full-length trailer for Suicide Squad catapult David Ayer's ensemble piece to the tip-top of our most-anticipated films of 2016, but there was also a fleeting look at Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman film, which looks to be shaping up remarkably well, weaving the origins tale of Gal Gadot's heroine across two distinct timelines.
"We're bad guys, it's what we do!" Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn quips at the tail-end of last night's show-stopping Suicide Squad trailer, which offered up the best look at David Ayer's live-action depiction of Task Force X to date.
Warner Bros. currently has all hands at the pump in preparation for what will surely be a defining year in the studio's history. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice may weigh in as the undisputed heavyweight for 2016, but David Ayer's spirited newcomer Suicide Squad is one we daren't take our eyes off, with its eclectic mix of comic book characters and jet-black tone.
Shortly after its bow at Cannes Film Festival early last year, Laszlo Nemes’ directorial debut Son of Saul sparked a crackle of excitement across the four corners of the industry that has only continued to build and build with each passing festival. At TIFF 2015, our own Sam Woolf championed Nemes' feature as "one of the most revelatory, emotionally charged, and unforgettable films 2015 has had to offer", and today's new trailer sheds light on just why the film has captured the imagination of critics and moviegoers alike.
Strap in, folks: Jared Leto's rendition of The Joker looks set to make "the hairs on the back of your neck stand up", according to Suicide Squad director David Ayer.
I want to believe. For the longest time, it looked set that the potential revival of The X-Files would never take that crucial last step in securing David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson to return in their defining roles as FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Now, all the moving parts are in place, and we're on the verge of welcoming back TV's extra-terrestrial sleuths for six all-new episodes.
Remember Troll Hunter? André Øvredal's Norwegian cult movie that offered a new spin on the found footage template, replete with jaw-dropping visuals and a palpable sense of scale. Fast forward six years and we have another potential genre gem coming out of the country, this time in the form of Roar Uthaug's The Wave.
