Per Reuters, Fox, CNN and any other media reporting from this weekend, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton was thrown into chaos. A man later identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, from Torrance California breached a checkpoint and...
Disney Jr. has revealed plans for a new preschool animated series titled Marvel’s Avengers: Mightiest Friends, scheduled to premiere in 2027. This show will feature child versions of well-known Marvel characters including Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Black Panther, Black Widow, and Thor.
The rumor that Eternals actor Kumail Nanjiani could play a race-swapped Booster Gold in James Gunn’s DC Universe just won’t die. Despite James Gunn addressing the chatter last year, speculation has roared back to life after a photo of the two together surfaced from the Peacemaker Season 2 premiere.
Sydney Sweeney has had a rough couple of weeks at the movies with two box office flops. Two of her most recent projects — the gritty crime drama Americana and Ron Howard’s survival thriller Eden — both collapsed at the box office, barely registering with audiences. At the very same time, her name has been plastered across headlines for a completely different reason: American Eagle’s cheeky “great jeans” ad campaign that set social media on fire.
For years, Hollywood insisted the superhero genre was too big to fail. Marvel and DC might stumble here or there, but whenever the chips were down, a tentpole reboot would swoop in and restore audience faith. That was the expectation for 2025, when James Gunn’s new Superman and Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrived to great industry fanfare.
These were the movies that were supposed to stop the bleeding, unite audiences, and reignite box office firepower.
Instead, they proved the exact opposite: even the biggest names in comic book history can’t save a genre audiences are walking away from.
By any measure, the UK’s first big clash under the Online Safety Act (OSA) is larger than one controversial message board. 4chan’s counsel says the site will refuse Ofcom’s fines and challenge any enforcement attempt in U.S. federal court—while also seeking political...
The folks at Imagineering now have a story they’re telling, and we all know they loudly proclaim that it’s all about the story, right? This one’s a real doozy. They claim draining the Rivers (now swamps) Of America and removing as much Americana as they can from Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom is part of “reimagining” and helping guests discover and create “their own folklore.” (And the unstated subtext, as with all such pronouncements from Disney management in the past 10 years or so is—“…and if YOU disagree, you’re an ikky, yukky doodoohead, so there!”)
The Muppets are taking over Rock’n Roller Coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. But if you were expecting the new Aerosmith-removing reskin to be something worth looking forward to, think again. Imagineers have screwed up another big assignment.
When the words Lego Batman and Arkham show up in the same sentence, most fans don’t expect to take it seriously. Yet after the reveal of Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight at Gamescom 2025, many players are saying the unlikeliest thing: this brick-built Dark Knight game feels like the true continuation of the Arkham legacy — more than Gotham Knights or “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” ever managed.
Sometimes the entertainment press can’t resist making a mountain out of a molehill. Case in point: Bella Ramsey appeared to joke about playing Spider-Man at an HBO Emmys event, and suddenly Variety and other outlets acted like Marvel Studios had a new stunning and brave casting announcement.
James Gunn is apparently going to continue marketing himself as the face of the DC universe if the Peacemaker season 2 press tour is any indicator.
When Superman launched its marketing campaign, many fans were surprised to find the spotlight wasn’t on the Man of Steel. It wasn’t on David Corenswet, the new Superman, or Rachel Brosnahan, the new Lois Lane. The spotlight was on James Gunn. He was the one rolling out trailers, giving interviews, and explaining the movie’s vision as if the film was his personal autobiography. Even if the actors themselves were being interviewed it was more often than not right alongside Gunn.
According to an August 14th article by The Hollywood Reporter’s Katie Killkenny, candidates running for Board elections at the WGAW (Writers Guild of America West) are talking up the potential to unionize/organize writers for podcasts, “verticals,” and, perhaps, video games. They believe adding those folks to the ranks will make up for the fact that overall the number of working writers in Hollywood is down markedly since the last and long-suffered-over WGA contract agreement was reached. They see expansion into online media as a natural way to pick up the membership slack.
For the last week, the internet has been set ablaze with Avengers: Doomsday cast rumors. One day, Spider-Man is reportedly in the movie. The next, Hulk. Then, out of nowhere, outlets insist Steve Rogers is returning alongside Deadpool, Ironheart, and She-Hulk. Depending on which “scoop” you believe, Doomsday might contain every Marvel character that’s ever existed plus a few extras for good measure.
