The Matrix Reloaded was the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all-time, a record it’s held for nearly 13 years. We say “was” because Twentieth Century Fox’s Deadpool just beat it. The film the studio held back in development hell for years based on a character it forcefully ruined in X-Men Origins: Wolverine has become the studio’s most lucrative superhero. Deadpool not only now hold the records as the biggest R-rated release, an accomplishment earned without tacking on 3D for those ticket premiums, but it currently sits less than $2 million away from breaking X-Men: Days of Future Past’s franchise record....

The cast of the hit FXX comedy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia reveals Glenn Howerton’s character, Dennis, appears in the majority of season 13. Howerton has been a pivotal part of the edgy comedy series since the show began in 2005, not only starring as one of the main cast members, but also serving as one of the show’s writers and co-creating it alongside co-star Rob McElhenney. And while season 12 of the show was arguably one of the best seasons to date, there appeared to be trouble in paradise in the final episode, as Dennis was leaving Philadelphia to be with his son in North Dakota and Howerton’s status for the 13th season appeared to be uncertain – especially since he began a new gig with the NBC hit sitcom A....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is only a few weeks away from adding Doctor Strange to its long list of properties, and as a result, will bring about real magic. Unlike Thor and the Asgardians whose powers come from science humans do not yet understand, Strange’s powers come from training under the tutelage of The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and Wong (Benedict Wong). Once he masters the mystic arts and becomes the Sorcerer Supreme, he will be equipped to battle not only Earthly and other worldly threats, but also ones from other dimensions or realities that hardly anyone else can see....

Bird Box star Rosa Salazar wants to do a sequel that would focus on her character’s fate. Since its release, Netflix’s sci-fi thriller has been a massive success and has been at the center of countless viral trends. While Salazar only had a short role in the film, that hasn’t stopped viewers from theorizing her fate. And, despite multiple viewers wanting to see a Bird Box sequel, there has yet to be an announcement regarding a continuation....

After nearly fifty years, the iconic Marvel hero Black Panther finally took to the big screen in his own solo movie, bringing the rich mythology of Wakanda and a strong supporting cast with him. As one of the few successful early Marvel titles to go this long without adaptation, Black Panther is truly something that fans have been waiting a lifetime for. However, because the hero has only made guest appearances in various animated series and a stunning live-action debut in Civil War previous to the movie, many people probably aren’t as familiar with the world of Black Panther as they are with most of the other Marvel characters who they’ve come to know so well....

Black Panther director Ryan Coogler regrets killing off Andy Serkis’ Ulysses Klaue. It’s been several months since Black Panther took the world by storm. Not only has it grossed over $1.3 billion globally, but T’Challa has also become one of the most popular characters in the MCU. Although the movie had an abundance of characters, whose stories could be explored in further sequels, some of the characters had to be killed off, such as Klaue....

There was a lot to look at in the first Cats trailer, including the cast who have now been transformed into lifelike cats thanks to the movie’s use of “digital fur technology.” The new technology was mentioned in a sneak peek video ahead of the trailer’s release during San Diego Comic-Con 2019. While the technology is a bit jarring, you can still see all of the Cats cast’s faces, and it’s clear this cast is a stacked one....

Movie legends Al Pacino and Robert De Niro reunite in new photos captured on the set of Martin Scorsese’s gangster saga The Irishman. Pacino and De Niro are joined on the film by an all-star cast of Scorsese regulars, including Joe Pesci, Harvey Keitel, Vinyl star Bobby Cannavale, Boardwalk Empire’s Jack Huston and Ray Romano. Anna Paquin was also recently added to the cast as the daughter of De Niro’s character....

In the world of big budget Hollywood blockbusters, so many factors must fall into place in order to pull off a hit. Stress levels can soar to stratospheric levels for everyone from the cast and crew to the filmmakers and all the way up to the studio heads themselves. Success can be just as monumental as failure and a very fine line divides the two. Of course, however challenging a typical Hollywood blockbuster may be, the superhero blockbuster takes stress to a whole new level....

Ben Affleck reportedly wants to continue playing the DCEU’s Batman. One of the plaguing mysteries of the Warner Bros. franchise is Affleck’s commitment to his superhero gig. Soon after Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice hit theaters and was met with divisive response, rumors started swirling that the actor may already be looking for a way out of the role, coupled with his confusing remarks that prompted the fandom to be concerned....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe will continue exploring T’Challa a.k.a. Black Panther’s story in Black Panther 2, and here’s every character returning for this new adventure. The first three phases of the MCU, collectively known as the “Infinity Saga”, came to an end in 2019 with Spider-Man: Far From Home after reaching their peak with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The latter was the final adventure for most of the original Avengers, but many other heroes are set to return in a near future, among those Black Panther....

Black Panther is officially certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by Ryan Coogler, the upcoming Marvel standalone film will have some political and even spiritual undertones with T’Challa coming home to the hidden country of Wakanda as its new King and protector, after the sudden tragic death of his father, T’Chaka (John Kani) in Captain America: Civil War. Unfortunately, he wouldn’t have the luxury of time to get used to his new responsibilities, as both internal and external factors are threatening the future of his nation and its people....

After Captain Marvel murdered Thor it seemed her days of being a superhero were over. But the truth about Carol’s mission to kill the Avengers is far more complicated. And clearly noble, since she’ll be worthy of both Thor’s hammer Mjolnir - and Captain America’s shield, too. That stunning revelation comes courtesy of Marvel’s official solicitations for March 2020, with Captain Marvel #16 bringing an end to Kelly Thompson and Lee Garbett’s “Last Avenger” story....

Chris Hemsworth is not happy with the Russo brothers’ toy lineup in a new set video from Avengers: Infinity War. The film - which will be directed by the Russos once again following their work on the last two Captain America films - is shaping up to be the most ambitious outing yet from Marvel Studios. Essentially acting as a culmination of every film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe released prior to it, Infinity War brings together all of the notable, main characters from the MCU together (some for the first time) for one giant fight against The Mad Titan, Thanos (Josh Brolin)....

Titans continues to expand its roster, as the DC TV show casts April Bowlby as the superhero Elasti-Girl. DC spent years trying to develop a live-action Teen Titans show with TNT before finally managing to make it work in-house. The show will now help launch DC’s upcoming streaming service, but the Titans won’t be the only young superhero team joining the DC TV universe. We learned recently that The Doom Patrol are coming to Titans, finally bringing the fan-favorite group of misfits from the comics to life....

Although the Mac has its own App Store, it’s not exactly as popular as the iOS App Store since Mac users can install apps from third-party sources. And while some developers trust their apps to the App Store, Apple’s platform lets them down in some ways. This time, developers of the Kaleidoscope app wrote a letter complaining about App Store bundles and the lack of paid app upgrades. For those unfamiliar, Kaleidoscope is a popular macOS app that offers advanced tools for comparing folders and files....

It can now be said with reasonable certainty that Marvel has yet another hit on its hands with Doctor Strange. With box office takings continuing to rise and critical reception largely positive in nature, Doctor Strange has succeeded in expanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe into new territories and introducing a new potential participant in the forthcoming bout against Thanos - in the form of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Stephen Strange. One of the most widely praised elements of the movie was, of course, the visuals and director Scott Derrickson and visual effects supervisor Stef Ceretti conspired to effectively translate the magical, mind-bending world of Stephen Strange onto the big screen....

At this point, having your character appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a tremendous honor, but there’s always a good set of characters for beginner’s to start off with. Looking at the roster, it’s a veritable who’s who of gaming icons ranging from Solid Snake and Cloud Strife, to Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog. With a grand total of 74 playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the real challenge for new players is wondering just where to start....
