Christina Ricci has expressed interest in returning to the The Addams Family and reprising her role in Speed Racer. The actress has curated a resume of impressive roles starting from the time she was young. One of her best-known childhood performances came as Wednesday Addams. And in 2008, she played Trixie in the Wachowskis’ Speed Racer, starring Emile Hirsch. While Ricci has recently been focused on smaller projects in both film and television, she is open to revisiting her past famous work....

The highlight of San Diego Comic-Con 2018 has to be Warner Bros’ two-hour Hall H panel - and the biggest part of that was the DC presentation. Here’s everything that was shown and revealed. With no Marvel at SDCC 2018, it’s undeniably DC’s year, and they didn’t hold back. Three films due in 2018 and 2019 were the focus - Aquaman, Shazam! and Wonder Woman 1984 - with footage playing for all three and two trailers making their way online, as well as appearances from cast and crew ready to spill big secrets....

X-Men: Dark Phoenix has a massive, franchise-changing twist - one that could completely alter the mutants on screen and see the franchise reboot. Already rising from the ashes of franchise despair, the whole of Fox’s X-Men universe is obviously looking to Simon Kinberg’s upcoming tentpole. Picking up from where X: Men Apocalypse left off in 2016, Kinberg hopes to once again tell the story Jean Grey’s The Dark Phoenix Saga, making up for its previous fudging in 2006’s The Last Stand....

The Dark Tower barely beat Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk in its opening weekend, rounding out what’s been a slow summer box office. Director Nikolaj Arcel’s highly anticipated adaptation of Stephen King’s novel opened to mostly poor reviews, sitting at 18% on Rotten Tomatoes as of Sunday. But The Dark Tower was still projected to beat out fellow new release Detroit and give Dunkirk a run when it first hit theaters. The Dark Tower was projected earlier this week to land at around $20-25 million in its first weekend, making back a good chunk of its relatively modest $66 million budget (including reshoots)....

The next member of the crew on DC’s Titans might have just been revealed to be Connor Kent aka. Superboy. Titans, which will launch on DC Comics’ own streaming service called DC Universe, is easily one of the company’s biggest upcoming live-action TV series. It’s also a bit of a gamble as besides a few set photos and official costume glimpses, very little is known about Titans. It has been confirmed that Titans will adapt the young superhero team of the same name, led by Robin (who will be played by Brenton Thwaites)....

WARNING: This post contains SPOILERS for Deadpool 2. - Deadpool 2 features the death of a major character, Wade Wilson’s girlfriend Vanessa Carlysle. But thanks to Cable’s time travel device and Deadpool 2’s mid-credits scenes, she may not really be dead. And, Vanessa may even return in Deadpool 3 or X-Force. That is, of course, if Deadpool 2’s credits scenes are canon, which they likely are. Introduced in 2016’s Deadpool, Vanessa was a key character in the first film....

It’s been quite a wild few years for comic creator Rob Liefeld, as he saw his brainchild Deadpool rocket to the big screen in his first solo movie earlier this summer and plans are already underway for a sequel. Though Liefeld is perhaps best known for creating Deadpool, the writer has a ton of other characters up his sleeve, and just as many adaptation ideas for each of them. The creator revealed earlier this year that he had penned a full Youngblood script, and now, it looks like another one of his characters, namely Avengelyne, is headed to the big screen for her own solo debut....

New seasons mean big changes for Destiny 2, and the upcoming Season of the Worthy will bring lots of tweaks for Exotic armor. Developer Bungie also recently announced that it will be changing the way that Legendary weapons work going forward, meaning Destiny 2’s gear is going to look quite different across the board soon. Of course, there’s a lot more coming in the next season of Destiny 2 than just changes to equipment....

Disney’s remake of a classic musical finds its writer in Danny Strong, who will be taking on the latest adaptation of the Dickens tale of Oliver Twist. The original tale of a little orphan boy turned pickpocket who finally finds a home has been adapted time and time again; most famously in 1968 in the Oscar-winning movie musical Oliver!, but also in the Disney animated film Oliver And Company (which sees the titular character turned into a little orange cat)....

Chris Pratt sings praises for Black Panther, calling it a “thought-provoking movie.” Starring Chadwick Boseman, the film is the 18th installment of the famed MCU franchise and first out of the Marvel Studios gate for their 10th anniversary year. It reunites us with T’Challa, now that he is already the king and protector of his home country of Wakanda. Unfortunately, the start of his reign couldn’t get less ideal as he is forced to make a pivotal decision that would drastically change his people’s way of living moving forward....

A driver participating in the unofficial Bird Box Challenge crashed their car while blindfolded. This comes just after Netflix warned viewers to not partake in the challenge - a viral trend based on Netflix’s latest post-apocalyptic thriller that has been receiving considerable buzz since its release. Directed by Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier, Bird Box centers on a post-alien-invaded world where society has been forced to suppress their vision in order to stay alive....

Black Panther has broken yet another record, this time for the highest Tuesday box office gross outside of the summer. With each passing today, new reports arrive of critical and financial milestones for the latest Marvel movie, suggesting that T’Challa and director Ryan Coogler will remain a key part of the MCU moving forward. Pre-release buzz and ticket sales were already unprecedented for the film, and Black Panther’s status as a cultural phenomenon has lead to some startling numbers at the box office....

Blade Runner 2049 is expected to be a box office flop in China. One of the year’s great commercial disappointments, Denis Villeneuve’s acclaimed, potentially Oscar-worthy sequel fell short of expectations out of the gate in North America and never recovered. It’s on track to barely make more than its huge production budget, reportedly costing as much as $185 million to make not including marketing. The last hope for Blade Runner 2049 to make a real dent in the box office was China, which delayed its release to Oct....

As one of the many incredibly popular coming of age sitcoms of the TGIF era of television, Boy Meets World followed a group of teenagers and young adults as they navigated life and love in Philadelphia. The series’ main characters were the lovably awkward Cory Matthews, the bad boy with a heart of gold Shawn Hunter, and the flower child perfectionist Topanga Lawrence. But beyond this central trio, the series was populated with colorful and iconic characters, like Cory’s brother Eric, Shawn’s brother Jack, and the beloved teacher Mr....

Among series like 7th Heaven and That ’70s Show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer stood out as a tidal wave in an ocean cataloging the hurtles of adolescence. Full of supernatural thrills, sharp dialogue, and the indelible bond of friendship, BtVS was a unique program among the crop of ’90s programs for teens; it never belittled their intelligence even as it specialized in kitschy horror and maudlin soap opera romance. Somehow creator Joss Whedon had developed a series that used the horror genre as a metaphor for the tribulations of growing up, and it worked....

Cadence of Hyrule takes the rhythmic rougelike action of Crypt of the NecroDancer and transplants into the realm of Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda. Cadence of Hyrule — Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Switch was one of the most surprising game announcements made by Nintendo in 2019. The game represents a rare instance in which Nintendo allowed another developer to handle one of its beloved first-party franchises, as Brace Yourself Games was allowed to make a spinoff title that combined the gameplay of Crypt of the NecroDancer with the characters and setting of The Legend of Zelda series....

Activision’s mega-million dollar franchise Call of Duty has seen its fair share of post-game content and map releases over the years. Downloadable map purchases hit their stride with the release of Modern Warfare 2 and evolved into the now defunct Call of Duty Elite, where subscribers were given access to in-depth weapon stats and map guides on top of all the downloadable content for that yearly Call of Duty title....

When it comes to character-driven shows, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. are two of the best network TV has to offer. While each show has what may be considered an enormous cast, the writers have done a remarkable job of never leaving a storyline unfinished or making a character forgettable. When breaking down the cast of Chicago P.D., you will see the show is centered around eight specific characters. You have Frank Voight, Jay Halstead, Kim Burgess, Antonio Dawson (who may be leaving the show), Adam Ruzek, Kevin Atwater, Trudy Platt, and Hailey Upton....

Christmastime family hijinks are afoot in the new holiday-themed trailer for the Will Ferrell/Mark Wahlberg comedy sequel Daddy’s Home 2. John Lithgow and Mel Gibson bring their veteran comedic chops to the film, which also stars Linda Cardellini, John Cena, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Owen Vaccaro. The 2015 hit Daddy’s Home, branded one of the best films of the century by Sofia Coppola, set up Ferrell and Wahlberg as dueling dads Brad and Dusty; milking the contrast between Ferrell’s straight-laced sweetness and Wahlberg’s edgy coolness....

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Action Comics #1000 - No DC icon misses out on Action Comics #1000, which leads to certified supervillains working with the Justice League and Titans to give Superman a much-deserved day-off. It’s just one story in the massive celebration issue, but the villains in question do their part to ensure Superman - a notorious workaholic easily embarrassed by praise - has no excuse to pass up the ceremony held in the city of Metropolis, honoring him with an official Superman Day celebration....
