Black Panther 2 Will Reportedly Begin Shooting This Summer

The unthinkable loss of Chadwick Boseman understandably slowed down the timeline on Black Panther 2. Originally, production was aiming to start in March 2021 for a May 6, 2022 release, but then then tragedy struck. However, things have slowly begun to pick back up, and a new report says filming will begin in July 2021.…

Meet Bumblebee’s Triple Changing Decepticons in 2 Exclusive Videos

Over the course of five live-action Michael Bay Transformers movies, fans have seen a good portion of the characters and oddities that make the franchise so popular. Hell, we’ve even seen the planet killer Unicron. But one thing we haven’t officially seen yet are triple-changers, Transformers that can change into more than two forms, and…

American Horror Story: Apocalypse Turned the End Times Into a Fabulous Season of Television

From the very first episode, American Horror Story: Apocalypse has felt like a return to rare form for the series—in large part because this season incorporates a number of characters from previous seasons, but also because this story has always had a singular focus. The apocalypse is coming (or is already here), and it’s something…

Angela Bassett Would Have Made a Fantastic Killmonger in Black Panther

Everyone knows that a movie immediately becomes 75 percent more interesting when Angela Bassett’s a member of the cast—and the more screen time she’s given, the better. Bassett is positively resplendent as Black Panther’s Queen Mother Ramonda, but if there’s one thing to nitpick about her performance in the movie, it’s that there just isn’t…

Wakanda’s Indomitable Culture Is Why the Women of Black Panther Are so Dynamic

Though Marvel’s Black Panther is about the ascension of a new Wakandan king, the film is also largely about the powerful women around T’Challa who are running the show. According to a number of the film’s female stars, their characters’ strength is a direct reflection of Wakanda’s cultural history. Because of the fictional country’s historical…

The List of Actors Who Were Almost in the First X-Men Movie Is Downright Crazy

The original X-Men trilogy helped kickstart the modern superhero movie boom—and it gave us iconic takes on characters like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Patrick Stewart’s Professor X. What that casting might have been though, according to the people behind it, paints a totally bizarre alternate picture. Speaking in an extensive interview with THR, David Hayter,…

Angela Bassett Will Be Black Panther‘s Queen Mother

In Captain America: Civil War, we not only met T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), but his father T’Chaka (John Kani) also played a significant role in things. The family’s getting a matriarch, though, in the form of Angela Bassett. Bassett will play Ramonda, described in the Marvel announcement as the “mother of T’Challa.” In the comics, Ramonda…

The captain of Bryan Fuller’s awesome, non-existent Trek TV show is…

The awesome producer Bryan Fuller wants to makes an awesome new Star Trek TV series. Paramount won’t let him, because they’re busy letting J.J. Abrams make his Trek movies. But that doesn’t mean Fuller doesn’t have a captain in mind should he ever get the green light: Angela Bassett. As he told Den of Geek…

James Cameron’s X-Men movie could’ve starred Bob Hoskins as Wolverine

We know that James Cameron tried to get his hooks into a Spider-Man movie in the early 1990s. But he also gave the X-Men a brief whirl with a studio pitch written by his then-wife (and future Hurt Locker director) Kathryn Bigelow. In a talk at Columbia University last Saturday, pioneering X-Men scribe Chris Claremont…

Is Angela Bassett The Nick Fury Of The DC Universe?

Angela Bassett as a superhero ball-buster? Sounds perfect. Bassett has accepted a role in the new Green Lantern movie, keeping tabs on the superheroes of Earth, and kicking ass in general. But her role is so much bigger than that. Variety announced that Bassett will be playing the role of Amanda Waller, a very important…

James Spader’s Nude Dimension-Hopping

2000’s Supernova was a confusing mess with like 27 directors, but I love its method of faster-than-light travel. For one thing, you have to be totally naked in order to be protected within the bio-protection units. (And even then, your face might melt, like this ship’s captain’s.) For another, you see trippy-ass visions during the…
