Jon Cryer Decided to Play Lex Luthor to Correct the Mistakes of the Past

Specifically, for Superman IV. Oh, Superman IV. When Jon Cryer was cast as Lex Luthor in the CW’s Supergirl, everyone with a deep well of Superman knowledge had the same question: Wait, you mean Lenny Luthor? Cryer played the comic relief nephew of Lex Luthor in the, uh, not great Superman IV: A Quest For…

Star Wars Celebration is almost here, which means it’s time for some fantastic art. And this print, by Michael Pasquale, is one of the best I’ve seen.

Jimmy Fallon Gives Mark Ruffalo an Avengers-Related Lie Detector Test

Mark Ruffalo’s propensity for spoilers is, at this point, beyond a running gag, even though, so far as we know, he’s been on his best behavior regarding Avengers: Endgame. And while that joke may be losing its luster, this one still got a few laughs out of me. In his most recent appearance on The…

Captive State‘s Backstory Was Fueled by More Great Sci-Fi Ideas Than the Film Could Contain

Just because your movie is about the aftermath of an alien invasion doesn’t mean you ignore the alien invasion. In fact, Captive State co-writer and director Rupert Wyatt has a very, very clear idea of how the off-screen alien invasion before the events of his film went down. It mirrors how he believes an invasion…

Black Panther shot Winston Duke to the stars, thanks to his immense presence— not just his scene-stealing swagger, but the fact that he is literally six-foot-five and 230 pounds. But the physicality that made M’Baku such a commanding presence in Black Panther was almost too much for Jordan Peele to imagine Duke in Us. Speaking…

Captain Marvel Presents Complicated Political Messages Worth Examining

Because an amnesiac Carol Danvers spends so much time during Captain Marvel trying to figure out who she is, there’s a way in which she’s never quite given a chance to deeply grapple with some of the moral issues the movie presents to her. That job largely falls on the audience, and the film’s relative…

Almost nothing that happens in Little Monsters will surprise you. People die comically horrible deaths, kids say and do cute things, characters become better versions of themselves by the end.
