Disney will have over 8,000 ABC TV episodes alone, and that’s not factoring in things from Disney XD, Freeform, and other networks they own. Not to mention, all the Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars content that Disney has access to. On the latter front, we learned earlier this week that Disney is developing multiple Star Wars shows for the streaming site, including word that a live-action series is finally on the way....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Grandmaster and The Collector might meet on the big screen if the actors of both get their wish. Since Benicio del Toro made his debut as The Collector in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, the Elders of the Universe have been one of the MCU’s greatest mysteries. A lot can be inferred from the characters given their comic origins. However, in the MCU, few things are known about the Elders of the Universe, including whether they’re even related in some way....
[This is a review of Bloodline season 2, episode 10. There will be SPOILERS.] - Given that in season 1 of Bloodline all roads led to the death of the series’ best and most interesting character, season 2 worked to squeeze blood from the proverbial narrative stone by taking the “bad thing” the three main Rayburn siblings had done, and use it to usher in another kind of end, one that would see the lives of John, Kevin, and Meg fall apart over the course of the next batch of episodes....
Ahh, Boston Legal. One of television’s finest legal dramedys of all time, the show ran for a criminally short 5 season, when it reigned among Primetime’s premium offerings until its unfortunate cancellation in 2008. Like many of David E. Kelley’s productions, the cast was star-studded and the writing was unmatched. Though there was a Rolodex of rotating main characters throughout the show’s history, there were also many who remained with the series for multiple seasons....
Charlie’s Angels star Naomi Scott announces that filming for the movie reboot has officially wrapped. Led by Scott, Kristen Stewart, and Ella Balinska as the titular crime-fighters, Sony Pictures began production in September. The project has been spearheaded by Elizabeth Banks, who will be directing and playing one of the Bosley characters.

Paramount Pictures has both moved the next Cloverfield movie (aka. God Particle) back to 2018 and bumped the George Clooney-directed Suburbicon and Darren Aronofsky’s mother! up by a month.

Warning: SPOILERS for Dark Phoenix ahead. Dark Phoenix ends the entire Fox X-Men saga on a hopeful but ambiguous note about the future of the mutants, but one that feels rather incomplete. Writer-director Simon Kinberg’s second stab at adapting The Dark Phoenix Saga comics story fittingly centers on Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), who is imbued with the Phoenix Force while the X-Men are on a rescue mission in outer space. Bursting with newfound power, the psychic walls Professor X (James McAvoy) placed in Jean’s mind when she was a girl come crashing down....
Initially, the Harry Potter movies were helmed by a variety of filmmakers. But, it was David Yates who ultimately became the defining directorial voice of the franchise, helming more installments than anyone else and also taking point on the new prequel feature Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them - which has now been confirmed to be the first installment of a five-part franchise for Warner Bros. The studio itself has been increasingly bullish on developing J....
Disney Channel has proven to be a prolific breeding ground for A-list celebrities. A disproportionate number of recent A-listers can trace their origins back to Disney’s The Mickey Mouse Club. While some have taken Disney Channel’s propensity to produce A-listers as evidence of the pivotal role that a platform with the right exposure plays in a showbiz career, others have pointed out that many of the Disney child stars who later became A-listers made it to Disney Channel in the first place, because they were more talented than average....

Both of course, lay seeds for the future of the Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sorcerer Supreme in the Marvel Cinematic Universe....
Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk is a well-intentioned misfire that cannot live up to its higher aspirations. Following a victory in a harrowing battle during the early days of the Iraq War, Army specialist Billy Lynn (Joe Alwyn) and his fellow comrades in Bravo Squadron are brought back to the United States to embark on a promotional tour across the country before they are deployed overseas again, in a transparent effort to change the general public’s mindset of the war....
Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Black Panther. Black Panther’s opening scene, which explains the history and culture of Wakanda, was added after the film’s initial test screenings. For a long time, the biggest and most well-regarded fictional location in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was Thor’s Asgard. That all changed when Wakanda joined the fold in 2018’s Black Panther film, which was directed by Ryan Coogler and based on a script by Coogler and screenwriter Joe Robert Cole....

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is looking to continue the franchise’s renewed success when it hits store shelves later this year. After spending the past few years making more and more ridiculous installments, Activision and Sledgehammer Games took the franchise back to its roots with Call of Duty: WWII in 2017, thus giving the series its best-selling game since Black Ops 2 in 2012. And now, after seeing that level of success, the publisher has tasked Treyarch with returning to the Black Ops story arc with Black Ops 4....
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been the closest thing to a genuine experiment the notoriously risk-averse Hollywood film industry has undertaken at least since rolling the dice on Peter Jackson’s original Lord of The Rings trilogy. For all the talk of action movies always having been a provable genre at the box-office and superheroes often even more so, the gamble with this franchise (or collection of franchises) has always been the risk as to whether or not audiences will tire of one or more parts of the ongoing story-continuum and imperil the prospects of the rest....
