Warning: This post contains potential SPOILERS for Deadpool 2 — New evidence from Deadpool 2’s soundtrack appears to confirm that X-Men villain Juggernaut will appear. After finding great success in a less-competitive February slot, Fox showed a lot of confidence in Deadpool’s sequel by placing it in the heart of the summer season. Considering the first film grossed over $780 million worldwide, the confidence should be well-placed. Ryan Reynolds made Deadpool a major star, and he’s brought a bunch of friends along for the sequel....

Dean Devlin has been active since the 1990s, where he wrote and produced the Roland Emmerich triple-whammy of Stargate, Independence Day and Godzilla, and since has produced a wide range of movies and TV projects. He’s now forging his own destiny with production company Electric Entertainment recently making the move into distribution (last year they released The Book of Love and LBJ). Next up is his own directorial project, Bad Samaritan....

Is it possible Sony will announce a release date for Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding at The Game Awards 2018? Rumors have surfaced suggesting the company will not only make such an announcement but also release new footage from the title. Death Stranding is the first title from Kojima since his highly publicized departure from Konami. He initially announced the title in 2016, although the first full trailer didn’t drop until E3 2018....

The first trailer for the eight-episode special event original drama series Manhunt: Unabomber has just made its way online. Starring Captain America: Civil War supporting player Paul Bettany as real-life American serial killer and domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski and Avatar lead actor Sam Worthington as FBI agent Jim “Fitz” Fitzgerald. Tasked with hunting down Bettany as Kaczynski, Worthington is sure to turn in a worthwhile TV performance as Fitzgerald in the forthcoming small screen production....

New set video from Bond 25 shows stars Daniel Craig, Jeffrey Wright and Lashana Lynch and director Cary Fukunaga hard at work on the film in Jamaica. The follow up to 2015’s blockbuster Spectre, the 25th James Bond adventure marks Craig’s fifth time playing secret agent 007. This time around, Oscar-winner Rami Malek will provide the adversary for Bond, though exact details of Malek’s character are not yet known. Of course, there was a time when it looked like Craig would not be back for Bond 25, but ultimately the actor relented and agreed to return....

Titans star Brenton Thwaites has shared a moody behind-the-scenes photo of himself as Dick Grayson a.k.a. Robin, to celebrate the show wrapping its first season. Earlier today we saw two official promo images of Thwaites as Robin, looking battered and battle-weary, which also gave us our first full look at his costume. The show will launch later this year on DC Entertainment’s all-new subscription service, DC Universe, which will also include comics, movies, and other TV shows like Young Justice: Outsiders....

Warning: Minor SPOILERS for Captain Marvel #8 Captain Marvel has been running a rough gauntlet in the world of Marvel Comics, discovering the truth of her origin story and her her mother’s secret Kree lineage. But now things are going to get a whole lot worse… as Carol is about to become Marvel’s most hated hero. For fans who may have missed it, Carol Danvers learned about her true heritage, and her mother’s own history as a Kree warrior back in the Life of Captain Marvel series, but now the whole world knows the truth, thanks to an article published by a reporter by the name of Ripley Ryan....

Channing Tatum reportedly might direct Gambit himself after all of the film’s prior troubles. Tatum joined Fox’s growing X-Men franchise back in 2014 to play Remy LeBeau in a solo Gambit movie. At the time, Fox was leading up to the release of X-Men: Days of Future Past and had plans to expand the X-Men franchise through solo movies and more team ups, with Gambit set to hit theaters in 2016 originally....

Charlie Cox supports the petition launched by fans to revive Daredevil. Playing the show’s lead Matt Murdock since 2015, the actor played the role four times - in three seasons of the show and in Marvel/Netflix’s ensemble project The Defenders in 2017. Being the most well-received among all offerings from the small screen franchise, fans were naturally shocked and frustrated when it was announced that Daredevil was canceled. The decision came after Netflix had already pulled the plug on Luke Cage and Iron Fist....

Infinity Countdown Prime is packed full of information regarding Marvel’s next big event, but it may also contain a Shazam! Easter egg. Marvel is in the midst of some big changes, both behind-the-scenes and in the comics. C.B. Cebulski recently took over as the comic publisher’s Editor-In-Chief, and a number of new writers and artists have come aboard—even while a few have jumped ship. On the page, the aftermath of this reset will be a fresh start for Marvel and a new set of #1s that will serve as entry points for new readers....

After its release last February, Deadpool took off like shot at the box office and never looked back. Director Tim Miller and producer Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Apocalypse) slow-boiled their Merc with a Mouth plotline for years before creating a well-seasoned blend of superhero action, heart, and humor. With Deadpool 2 now officially moving forward, the franchise is looking to build upon its success by adding new characters and more outrageous storylines....

Update: DigiTimes said on Wednesday that the new 27-inch iMac Pro won’t feature a miniLED display. DSCC analyst Ross Young still believes this new Mac will. DigiTimes is another source backing up the claim that the upcoming iMac Pro will feature a 27-inch display with miniLED technology. This is a paywalled preview of an upcoming report. Last week, DSCC’s Ross Young reported that Apple is expected to launch a 27-inch iMac Pro with miniLED display and ProMotion technology during the spring of 2022 – the same period the company is expected to finally release the Universal Control feature....

y also plan remakes Disney’s live-action Pinocchio remake has nabbed Paddington director Paul King, with an eye toward starting production this fall. Skyfall director Sam Mendes originally signed on to direct Pinocchio but bailed on the project last year. Another live-action Pinocchio project was previously reported to be gearing up at Warner Bros. That version reportedly nabbed Ron Howard to direct with Robert Downey Jr. starring as Geppetto. But the project appears to have stalled out as there have been no updates in two years....

If you, like Damian Lewis’s Bobby ‘Axe’ Axelrod, can’t get enough of the “juice,” then Showtime has great news for you, as the pay cable network has renewed Billions for season 4. The series is coming off a surprisingly strong second season, and is currently halfway through a promising third, as the grudge match between Axe and his nemesis Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) escalates in the wake of some serious power plays on both sides, neither of which are terribly concerned about the legality of it all....

It looks like the sci-fi nightmares are only just beginning as Charlie Brooker confirms filming for season 5 of Black Mirror is already underway. Cashing in on the human race’s obsession with technology without realizing the dangers it poses, Black Mirror is one of the most clever and bingeable shows around right now. Now, less than two weeks since Black Mirror was renewed for season 5, confirming that it would be back for another batch of tech-terror episodes, the man behind the mirror has let fans know a little more about what’s coming next....

With Black Panther having a successful live-action movie adaptation, there’s been plenty of attention paid to the title character. Another name fans should know from the Black Panther comics is Shuri, little sister to the hero, heir to the throne of Wakanda, and a Black Panther in her own right. Shuri doesn’t have the same long legacy as her big brother T’Challa, though. While he debuted in 1966, Shuri has existed in comics for just a little over a decade, meaning that when fans got to see her on the big screen, writers had a lot more freedom to make the character their own....

Not content with releasing a chart-topping soundtrack album, label Top Dawg Entertainment is also sending Los Angeles youths from the Watts housing projects to free screenings of Black Panther. The latest Marvel movie has been something of a revelation upon launch, receiving huge critical acclaim and having such a strong opening that predictions have been set very high for the movie’s overall box office return. Alongside releasing a film with a strong plot, stunning action and terrific performances, the success of Black Panther is perhaps a result of the movie’s method of representation....

Comic book legend Stan Lee once told writer-director Ryan Coogler that his favorite thing about Black Panther’s lead character T’Challa is that he’s insanely rich. By now, it should be quite apparent that Lee had a strong influence in establishing the Marvel Universe during its formative years, and that has much to do with the creation of the Fantastic Four - a team that later became known as Marvel’s First Family, and for good reason - in 1961....

It looks as though a brief cancellation has done nothing to dim the lighthearted spirits of the 99th Precinct, as NBC welcomes Brooklyn Nine-Nine into its lineup. The shift from FOX to the Peacock network was one of the more interesting television exchanges of last year, bringing the feel-good comedy from Dan Goor and Mike Schur to the network that also happens to broadcast The Good Place. And, unsurprisingly, the two comedies complement one another very well, offering a one-two punch of sweet-natured laughs that suggest NBCUniversal should have shopped Nine-Nine to its own network from the get-go....

The best-selling video game The Last of Us is finally coming to screens as a HBO series, so who should play the lead character, Joel? Joel presents actors with the exciting opportunity to play a gruff, traumatized smuggler who is trying to survive in a post-Apocalyptic America. Dodging human enemies as well as infected fungal mutants - themselves based on real-life fungal parasites - Joel is tasked with protecting a young girl named Ellie, who appears to be immune to the virus....
