Cyberpunk 2077 remains one of the most important releases in the next two years, with developer CD Projekt Red attempting to follow up what many believe to be one of the greatest RPG titles ever made in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt....
What should we expect from Daredevil season 4? The third season of Daredevil has now released on Netflix, and it’s getting rave reviews from fans and critics alike. It’s the culmination of the battle between Matt Murdock and the Kingpin, bringing an end to character arcs that have been building up since 2015. The relationship between Marvel and Netflix does seem to be souring a little of late; the recent cancellation of Luke Cage is reportedly due to a disagreement between the two companies, who were unable to agree on the scripts, the show’s overall direction, or even the number of episodes....

Released on the stage in 1984, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom follows Ma Rainey, one of the earliest professional African-American blues singers who was dubbed “Queen of the Blues”....
Ever since Ghostbusters II debuted in 1989, fans around the world have been eagerly anticipating a third film for the series. Twenty-five years later, all Hollywood can offer is a quasi-reboot featuring all new characters in what is, supposedly, a similar story that (according to a title card at the beginning of trailer #1) may or may not be set after the first timeline, with cameos from the original cast members… it’s a tad confusing....
Marc Webb is being eyed to direct Disney’s live-action Snow White remake. After years of trying to launch new live-action franchises with movies like TRON: Legacy and John Carter, the Mouse House has doubled its efforts on re-imagining its animated films in live-action instead. And while there have been recent exceptions to that rule (like A Wrinkle in Time and The Nutcracker and the Four Realms), pretty much every other major live-action Mouse House release since 2015 has been connected to one of the studio’s classic animated features, one way or another....

Bethesda Games Studios is undeniably one of the best video game developers out there, but do fans know that the company behind Fallout and The Elder Scrolls also helps out terminally ill children?

In 2015 when we visited the set of Captain America: Civil War it was becoming clear that Marvel Studios was beginning to plan long-term for its villains and secondary characters. The Disney-owned production house had already set precedents with the Marvel Cinematic Universe with its long-term franchise plans, crossovers, and team-ups featuring its headliner heroes but now villains and supporting characters were getting the same. Civil War introduced CIA operative Everett K....
Warning: SPOILERS for Blade Runner 2049 ahead - Like Blade Runner before it, most of Blade Runner 2049’s characters inhabit a motivational grey area. Some of them do unambiguously make things difficult for our protagonists, but their actual role as someone “evil” is more a matter of perspective and how one defines “evil.” In an extension of the base themes of the film, most are only doing their job and fulfilling their base programming – they aren’t necessarily bad, just caught up in a system that deems their actions as such....
New Captain Marvel tie-in figures confirm Carol Danvers will use the Binary form in the movie.

When it comes to beautiful cover artwork from the early 2000s, it’s hard not to think of Jim Lee. And when it comes to the modern-day aesthetics of Catwoman, it’s hard to deny Jim Lee’s contributions. To celebrate 80 years of the feline fatale, DC is releasing a series of “decade variant” covers for their Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1, set to release on April 15th. Spanning from her first appearance in the 1940s all the way through the end of the last decade, the variant covers tell the story of Selina Kyle’s very long tenure in comic books....

Desperate Housewives became a cultural phenomenon when it premiered in 2004. People loved following the daily scandals of the housewives living on Wisteria Lane. Not only was the series full of soapy fun, it was an enthralling mystery that contained sharp, dark humor about life beyond the white picket fences. The series ran for eight full seasons during which it accumulated a number of awards and accolades. Its influence can still be felt on modern-day primetime television....
When Star Trek: Picard premieres later in 2019, one of the biggest Next Generation questions it could finally answer is whether B-4 ever finished his transformation into Data.

Lady Gaga is currently in the early days of residency at Park MGM Las Vegas, which showcases two different shows: Enigma and Jazz and Piano....
NOTE: Box office grosses are as of January 13, 2019 - Bumblebee turned a profit and will ultimately go down as a minor box office success, though its performance still raises questions about the future of the Transformers film franchise. After Michael Bay captained the ship for five movies released over a period of 10 years (culminating with the lackluster The Last Knight in 2017), Paramount opted to go in a different direction for the next film on the docket....
Following the firing of James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Drax star Dave Bautista has been vocal in his support for the director, suggesting he may have to leave the franchise, but will his contract even allow that?
