According to sources at Deadline, Dave Bautista may soon face off against Henry Cavill in Amazon MGM Studios’ Highlander reboot.

Sometimes, products and their placement in entertainment go together like peanut butter and jelly, a cool drink on a warm summer day, or E.T. and Reese’s Pieces. Symbiosis is good — unless it feels alien, like Venom. When Insomniac Games gave Miles Morales a Spider-Man costume inspired by an Adidas tracksuit in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, gamers reacted as if someone had put sardines on their s’mores and an Ovaltine ad in their decoder ring.
Usually, if the words “Star Wars” and “heresy” are being used together, it’s related to something in-universe. Like saying Rogue One proves the Force isn’t important to the narrative.

Quentin Tarantino finally revealed his next project. And surprise! It’s not his long-awaited 10th, and potentially final film.

Skydance took control of Paramount Pictures, and right out of the gate they seem to have stepped on Disney’s toes. By picking up High Side and giving director James Mangold the green light, Paramount has him booked during a time many expected him to be starting his Star Wars Jedi origin project.
Marvel’s Ironheart may have unwittingly saved the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), not by restoring favor with fans, but by setting the course for Avengers: Doomsday.
According to a listing on the Film & Television Industry Alliance database, the final film from Quentin Tarantino is starting production December 1, 2025. However, unnamed sources tell World of Reel that Tarantino has yet to finish his screenplay, in which case production is unlikely to start so soon.

Less than a week after showing us the first full trailer, in a surprise one-two punch, Disney+ dropped Eyes of Wakanda several weeks early and gave us a gender-swapped Iron Fist.
Attendees at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) got a big surprise at the Star Wars booth. According to an official display on the show floor, Anakin Skywalker only “had the potential to become the most powerful Jedi ever.” That same phrase has been added to the...
When it comes to beating the odds, Jeremy Renner knows a thing or two. After nearly being crushed by a 14,000 lb snowplow in 2023, a disaster that could have ended not just his career, but his life, he’s ready to get back to superheroics.
