Deadpool 2 wrapped up its blockbuster opening weekend with a new box office record for an R-rated film overseas. Once again starring Ryan Reynolds as the title character, Deadpool 2 approached its opening weekend with the weight of the world on its shoulders, following the massive debut of the first Deadpool movie in 2016. Bolstered by the $132.4 million that the film made domestically in its opening three-day frame, Deadpool made an additional $132....

So how does it work? Alexa-enabled device owners simply need to install the Destination: Dunkirk skill - and, when they’re ready to dive in, simply ask Alexa to launch the app. You play as Tommy (played by Fionn Whitehead in the movie), a soldier with a wife back home, who is eager to leave the war behind. At the start, players get to select from Infantryman, Tank Commander, and RAF Pilot storylines - which sets the stage for how their version of Tommy arrives in Dunkirk....

Edgar Ramírez will play the villain in Disney’s Jungle Cruise. After finding great success in turning Pirates of the Caribbean into a major film franchise, Disney’s looking to make more movies based on attractions in their theme parks. One of these films will be based on the riverboat ride Jungle Cruise. The movie adaptation will attempt to recapture the fun spirit and adventure of the ride, and have found arguably the best choice possible to star: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson....

One of the oldest projects in development at Marvel Studios has been Doctor Strange, but after a longer than anticipated wait, fans are only a few months away from finally being able to see the film. While figuring out how to integrate magic into the Marvel Cinematic Universe was certainly one of the major hurdles to get the movie moving forward, casting was also of the utmost importance. From early on in the pre-production process, Benedict Cumberbatch was at the top of every fan cast or wish list for the part, and he was lucky enough to be chosen....

It’s no secret that both critically and commercially DC Comics is failing to measure up to its main competition Marvel on the big screen. Marvel was the first to form an interconnected cinematic superhero universe and DC has been struggling to match that success, in both quality and quantity, ever since. The DCEU is not a flop but it’s nowhere near the juggernaut level of the MCU. Yet even if DC isn’t winning the current war in the movie theaters, they’ve been in the movie making business for a long time....

Star Wars is a beloved property, but continuing and reinventing a forty-year-old franchise for modern audiences has been a tricky proposition for the new owners of Lucasfilm. Rogue One’s use of digital actors to portray Grand Moff Tarkin and Princess Leia stirred up some interesting moral quandaries, but even more difficult to swallow seems to be the replacement of roles played by beloved actors like Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams with fresh new faces....

The success of Black Panther has opened the doors to a new generation of Black superheroes in cinema. At least, that’s the hope of fans demanding increased diversity in both stars and stories. It may have taken Marvel Studios almost twenty films to put a hero of color in the solo movie spotlight - and the first female lead is coming with Captain Marvel - but the damage has been done....

The first set photos from Black Widow show Scarlett Johansson back as the red-haired super spy, with filming beginning in Norway. Natasha Romanoff quickly became a fan favorite character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe when Johansson debuted as her in Iron Man 2, so much so that many have been left wondering when she would get her own film. Through three Phases of the MCU, no such movie came for Black Widow, but the signs of that changing started popping up last year....

IMDB releases its list of 2019’s most anticipated movies, and in an unsurprising result, Captain Marvel and Avengers 4 have taken the top spots. 2018 is very close to its own endgame, but with the close of one year comes both a fond farewell to the great pieces of pop culture it offered, and a happy hello to the many exciting movies and TV shows 2019 will have to offer. On the small screen, things like Game of Thrones’ final season, Stranger Things season 3, and True Detective season 3 look to make waves....

The Arrowverse’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover will begin with the destruction of multiple realities. Major multi-program crossovers have become an annual tradition for The CW’s DC universe. They started small but have ballooned as the overall output and amount of characters that exist have grown. The 2018 crossover was an adaptation of Elseworlds, where Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) switched places. However, this crossover also revealed what would come next....

The DC’s Legends of Tomorrow series was created with characters plucked from the episodes of already successful CW shows Arrow and The Flash. Introducing a time travel element to the spin-off means the showrunners also have their pick of heroes and villains from the entire DC universe. Time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) leads the Legends of Tomorrow team through the decades in an attempt to disrupt the immortal Vandal Savage’s (Casper Crump) plan to destroy the world as we know it....

The CW’s upcoming DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will assemble a motley crew of superheroes and villains that’ve previously appeared on Arrow and/or The Flash on a time-travel adventure to prevent the immortal Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) from taking over the world in the future. Series creators Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Andrew Kreisberg have designed Legends of Tomorrow to have an anthology narrative structure; as such, season 1 will feature a largely self-contained storyline, even as it continues to expand the CW’s DC TV show universe and introduce more characters into the mix....

Deadpool 2, the R-rated superhero sequel starring Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin, is projected to open with $350 million worldwide. A labor of love for star Ryan Reynolds - who fought for years to get the movie made and even (allegedly) leaked test footage in order to get audiences pumped - Deadpool was a surprise smash hit when released in 2016. At the time, Deadpool seemed groundbreaking, being a comic book movie filled with swearing, sex and unusually graphic violence....

When The Defenders pulls together all of Marvel’s Netflix heroes, they’ll each bring something unique to the table. While all of the MCU series on Netflix so far have paired their titular hero with a number of other names from the comics, The Defenders will mark the first real team-up in the street-level corner of the universe. Thanks to threats that have been slowly building up in each show, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage will all have to put aside their egos and work together....

After months of rumors, Rob Zombie has confirmed that not only will there be a sequel to The Devil’s Rejects, but it’s officially called 3 From Hell and has already started filming. The musician and horror director has remained mostly silent on the existence of the project, but a simple image and a few words on Instagram has shown that production on the film is well underway. Zombie is as well-known for his uncompromising horror films, as he is for his music....

Disney’s live-action remake of The Lion King hasn’t been a hit with critics, but the Mouse House actually changed its animated classic back in 2002 - and no one really noticed. Although Jon Favreau’s The Lion King is a much bigger change to the original, the film was given an IMAX re-release in 2002, followed up by a Platinum Edition being made available in 2003, wherein there were a number of differences....

In 2018, Netflix continued to elevate itself as one of the best streaming services in terms of original content, with plenty of exciting new films across a broad spread of genres. This approach is only set to continue and become more ambitious, as we recently learned that the platform is aiming to release 90 Netflix Original movies per year, with budgets as high as $200 million. Over the past several months, Netflix has released numerous high-profile feature films, of which not only affect pop culture, but also represent viable contenders during awards season....

Billy Dee Williams is rumored to reprise Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX. The character, who was introduced in the original trilogy, has been conspicuously absent from the sequels thus far. Lando wasn’t even mentioned by name in either The Force Awakens or The Last Jedi, which in retrospect makes some sense (there really wasn’t a place for him in those films), but still begged the question of where he was during that time....
