Captain Marvel‘s Brie Larson on Flawed Heroes and Discovering Her Own Strength

You probably already know this, but Brie Larson is playing Captain Marvel in the upcoming film of the same name.

The Creators of Into the Spider-Verse Talk the Importance of Miles Morales

Miles isn’t Peter Parker. And that simple fact is really, really essential. The differences Miles brings—and the power of on-screen representation—were major points of discussion when Variety talked to the creators and cast of the film at the recent premiere. “I think that by them making this movie… and making it completely a representation of…

Guillermo del Toro Fought for Years to Get Ron Perlman as Hellboy

Guillermo del Toro will fight hard for what he believes in. Freaky monster sex, Harry Potter, and, apparently, Ron Perlman. Perlman, talking on PeopleTV’s Couch Surfing, explained how del Toro worked for years to get a Hellboy movie greenlit, with the specific and unchanging proviso that Perlman would star as the big red lug himself.…

This Video Explores Why the Star Trek Movie’s Enterprise Design Is So Clever

I usually don’t give a lot of thought to ship designs in science fiction movies. My general assumption is that they exist to look cool, with function considered as a secondary problem if at all. Which is why this video by EC Henry impressed me the way it did. In a brief, elegant explanation, Henry…

The Producer of Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures Talks Being ‘Playful’ With Classic Canon

Yesterday, Lucasfilm released the first batch of Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures shorts, a series of animated shorts that pair new visuals with audio from the films, creating bite-sized reinterpretations of the Star Wars universe perfect for kids (except for the Darth Vader one, which is… kinda brutal).

The Predator Would Have Been Way Better With These Predator-Monkey Hybrids

The Predator, Shane Black’s wild, manic reboot of the Predator franchise, was not a good movie. But recently revealed concept art suggests it could have been a masterpiece. Oh, how the best ideas never come true. That’s right, there were nearly Predator monkeys. As revealed on AvP Galaxy, thanks to info from concept artist Constantine…

Thanos Narrated an Early Draft of Avengers: Infinity War

*record scratch* “Yeah, that’s me, Thanos. I bet you’re wondering how I ended up in this crazy situation. Well…” Much to my sadness, that’s not how the Avengers: Infinity War opened. But it could have been something like that, as revealed by the Russo Brothers at a wide-ranging Q&A with Collider recently. We’ve already covered…

Cam Is a Unique, Genre-Blending Mystery

There’s so much excess on Netflix these days, it’s near impossible to find a diamond in the rough. Cam is one of them. It’s a unique, tense, surprising, genre-blender that doesn’t quite stick the landing but makes the trip worth it nonetheless. Directed by Daniel Goldhaber and written by Isa Mazzei, Cam stars Madeline Brewer…

No Nose Growing Here, Tom Hanks May Play Geppetto in Disney’s New Pinocchio

Say you’re Disney. You’re making a new, live-action Pinocchio, so you made a list of stars to possibly play Geppetto. That list 100 percent starts with one name, right? Tom Hanks. So it’s almost no surprise to hear Hanks is reportedly being eyed to do just that. Collider was first to report the news that,…

Oh My Stars and Stripes, Avengers 4 Director Joe Russo Just Hinted That Chris Evans’ Cap May Not Be Done Yet

Back in October everyone (ourselves included) made a big deal of Chris Evans’ remarks that he was done with Captain America. Well, that may have been premature. Speaking to USA Today, Joe Russo—who co-directed four of Evans’ most recent Marvel movies (including the upcoming Avengers 4)—said the following: I think it was more emotional for…

The Russo Brothers Considered Putting Marvel’s Netflix Heroes Into Infinity War

Infinity War already requires a boatload (or six) of characters. Something had to give—and that give mainly came in the convenient form of anyone attached to a Marvel TV show. The seemingly endless discussion about the tenuous bonds between Marvel’s TV and movie properties reached an apex with the release of Infinity War, a movie…

A Brief Guide to Artemis Fowl, an Adaptation We Never Thought We’d See

One could be forgiven for having forgotten about the long-rumored plans for a live-action, cinematic adaptation of Eion Colfer’s 2001 novel Artemis Fowl, considering that studios have been debating whether to move forward with it for almost 20 years at this point. But Artemis is finally making his way to the big screen, which means that…

A New Bumblebee Featurette Gives Us Our Best Look Yet at Optimus Prime’s Slick, Old School Redesign

It’s not quite true Gen 1. It’s definitely not Bayhem-induced visual noise. But it’s an interesting marriage that really, really works. A new featurette for Bumblebee—focusing on the films’ nostalgic nods to the classic Transformers designs, as well as its ‘80s setting—just dropped, with plenty of little snippets of new footage. But it gives us…

We Asked a Researcher to Judge the Historically Inaccurate Junk in Robin Hood

I don’t care that Otto Bathurst’s Robin Hood played so fast and loose with history it basically exists in an alternate universe. On the contrary, it was one of the things I enjoyed the most about it. The movie was great when it was just having a good time, instead of trying too hard to…
