Jodie Comer is red hot right now. Besides starring in Killing Eve, she had a role in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (even if it was a very small one), can be seen next opposite Ryan Reynolds in this summer’s Free Guy and today, sources close to WGTC have told us that she’s being considered for the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel, to play a young Furiosa. And given that this comes to us from the same sources who said Transformers is being rebooted and Marvel is eyeing Daniel Radcliffe for Moon Knight, both of which we know to be true, we've no reason to doubt it.
If you picked up the recently released Marvel Infinity Saga Box Set featuring all 23 MCU movies then first, congrats on having the extra cash, because this thing is expensive, and second, there’s more than a few interesting deleted scenes to parse through here, including a Captain Marvel cameo in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Steven Soderbergh directed a movie called Contagion in 2011 and it featured an all-star cast including Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard and Laurence Fishburne.

There are certain actors who you wouldn’t think would ever be in a comic book movie. Daniel Day-Lewis is the first name that comes to mind. Can you imagine? Once upon a time I could totally see him playing Doctor Strange. Another would be Leonardo DiCaprio mainly because he’s been arguably the biggest star in the business for two decades and didn’t need to dawn the tights to reach a certain level in the industry. He also chooses his projects very carefully and makes a movie every few years. The same goes for Day-Lewis although he appears to be retired now.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife will see the return of almost every original cast member. Everyone except Rick Moranis, that is, as according to Variety, Moranis will not reprise his role as the nosey neighbor, Louis Tully.

Last March, Disney purchased 20th Century Fox for a cool $71.3 billion. A hefty price tag, but the Mouse House knew they were getting a number of well known IP they could reshape and repackage under the Disney umbrella. Chief among them was the “other” Marvel characters not in the MCU previously.
Don’t you feel like every new streaming service that debuts is a direct response to Netflix’s dominance? When you think of streaming, you think of Netflix.
