Jennifer Lawrence may have only turned 31 years old a few days ago, but she's already accomplished an incredible amount throughout her career, and that's even with the actress taking a step back having only made two onscreen appearances since March of 2018.
As expected, the full-length trailer for the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Eternals dropped this morning, and it looks unlike anything we've ever seen from the world's most popular franchise. Sure, the footage shows off plenty of superpowers and references to the wider mythology, but the concept at the core of the narrative paints it as a unique entry into canon.
Even though the project was first reported to be in development the very same day the final episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier aired on Disney plus, it wasn't until yesterday that the Marvel Cinematic Universe's fourth solo Captain America movie was made official, with Anthony Mackie set to replace Chris Evans as the franchise's leading man.
Denis Villenueve has made it abundantly clear on more than one occasion that he's hardly thrilled at the prospect of his sci-fi epic Dune being made available to HBO Max subscribers the same day the adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel comes to theaters.
Dave Bautista has outlined in no uncertain terms that his tenure as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Drax the Destroyer will come to an end once James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 hits theaters in May 2023. The former professional wrestler cited his age as one of the deciding factors given that he'll be 54 years old by the time the movie arrives, but it's not as if he's planning to retire from the action genre entirely.
James Wan may have taken to big budget filmmaking like a duck to water, with the success of Fast & Furious 7 and Aquaman giving him the distinction of being the only director not named James Cameron to ever steer a pair of movies from two different franchises to over a billion dollars at the box office, but he clearly hasn't abandoned his roots in horror.
Fans went positively apesh*t, or should that be batsh*t, when it was announced last year that Michael Keaton would be suiting up as Batman for the first time in 30 years to lend support in The Flash, the hotly-anticipated DCEU blockbuster that introduces the multiverse into Hollywood's other premiere shared superhero mythology.
As the streaming wars continue to intensify, Sony need to play it smart to avoid losing ground on the competition they'll never be able to make up. Universal, Disney, Warner Bros. and Paramount all either own or operate at least one subscription-based platform each, a luxury that Sony don't have.
The Hulk has undergone quite the journey during his stint as one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's longest-tenured heroes, dating back to his debut in the summer of 2008 when he took the form of Edward Norton. Hastily sweeping The Incredible Hulk under the rug and largely ignoring it ever since, Mark Ruffalo has more than made the role his own since making his first appearance in The Avengers.
Production is in full swing on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, a sequel that's going to be a hugely emotional and bittersweet experience for the cast, crew and fans all over the world. The second installment in the series will pay tribute to the life and legacy of Chadwick Boseman, as well as his T'Challa, but it's still a mega budget action blockbuster that needs to continue building and expanding its own mythology.
