Ellen DeGeneres is set to return as Dory in a new Pixar short film, according to a Deadline exclusive. This brings another adventure for the friendly, forgetful fish in the Finding Nemo Universe. Further details title, release date, or plot details have not been...
Perhaps someday we’ll see the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) crossover with the DC Universe (DCU). But over on X, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu is already giving Superman the stare-down. While a sequel to this year’s Superman has the green light just months after the film’s debut, a follow-up to 2021’s Shang-Chi has yet to be confirmed.
One year ago, just two weeks after its release, the hero-shooter known as Concord was permanently shut down due to its abysmal sales and astonishingly low player count. Just a couple months later, Sony, in an attempt to cut losses, disbanded Firewalk studios, which had developed the game over the course of 8 years.
In one of the strangest twists in recent Hollywood memory, Stephen Colbert has finally won an Emmy for The Late Show—just weeks after CBS announced his program is being canceled. After nearly a decade on the air and 33 nominations without a single victory, Colbert’s show secured its first statuette in the Outstanding Directing for a Variety Series category.
The timing couldn’t be more suspicious. Was this really about rewarding creative merit, or was Hollywood sending a political message after CBS pulled the plug on the partisan host?
When Paramount Skydance announced its sweeping five-day-a-week return-to-office mandate last week, the memo didn’t just signal the end of hybrid work. For many employees, it was the loudest warning yet that Paramount layoffs are coming — and soon. The company is...
Amid mounting constraints in its land-based assets, The Walt Disney Company is increasingly emphasizing cruise operations as a scalable alternative. While theme‑park growth faces limitations—such as high operating costs, competition from rivals like Universal’s Epic Universe, and infrastructure saturation—Disney Cruise Line (DCL) has emerged for the company as a viable avenue for expansion.
Since the release of The Batman in 2022 and its spin-off, The Penguin on HBO Max, fans have speculated on the future of franchise and the character. Not Batman. He’s a given, though James Gunn’s parallel DC Universe seems in conflict with writer/director Matt Reeves’ darker world. But how will Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobb, aka: The Penguin, feature in The Batman 2?
Now we may have an idea, and it’s not as prominently as we might have thought given the success of his solo show.
As every movie fan knows, the Pirates’ Code is more like guidelines. Now, we’ve learned that the Way of the Gunn (at least where it concerns the DC Universe) is more like “bullet points.”
SO…as you’ve no doubt heard by now, the new Six Flags (post-merger with Cedar Fair) has had management shuffles and financial losses and is in the process of combining, re-organizing, and, inevitably, closing some of their parks where the two brands basically “over-serve” a given region of the country. All that was to be expected.
But what’s come out that I find fascinating is something that wasn’t popularly noted in news coverage, at least what I saw, but IS being mentioned as almost an afterthought now when it should be the leading fact in many of these closure stories.
Now, in a shift that has been years in the making, Disney appears to be phasing out MagicBands in favor of the company’s phone-centric MagicMobile system. The change hasn’t gone unnoticed, and for many longtime guests, it signals the end of a tangible era of convenience in exchange for one more digital screen added onto your Disney Day.
Matt Ouimet, former CEO of Cedar Fair and former president of Disneyland, has openly expressed dissatisfaction with the direction Six Flags has taken since its merger with Cedar Fair in 2024. Ouimet served as Cedar Fair’s CEO from 2012 to 2017 and held various senior roles at Disney from 1989 to 2006, including president of Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line.
The future of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has been drifting in uncharted waters for years, but Orlando Bloom is clear about what he believes could steer the ship back on course: bring back the original crew.
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.
