A new photo featuring the reunion of Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and his pal Blind Al (Leslie Uggams) has recently made its way to the internet. The pic comes from the set of Deadpool 2 which is currently being shot and is scheduled to be released June of next year. The sequel to one of the biggest surprise hits of 2016 has been in production since June in Canada. Over the last couple weeks, various behind-the-scenes photos have emerged online including Deadpool’s trip to the X-Mansion, some action scenes being shot and even Josh Brolin in preparation for taking the role of Nathan Summers/Cable which only intensifies the anticipation that fans have for the property....

Dictating on the iPhone is, I would confidently estimate, something I do more than typing. Siri is also the main way I control my HomeKit devices. Any time I’ve mentioned either of these things, there are always comments from people saying how terrible their experience is with both, so I thought I’d share a few things I think make a difference. If you’ve just updated to iOS 16, now is a particularly good time to give dictation another go, as you can now easily mix-and-match speaking and typing …...

Screen Rant’s Ryan George takes us back to the original pitch meeting for Die Hard, the movie that people love to point out is actually a Christmas movie. Starring a young Bruce Willis (with hair!), Die Hard was directed by John McTiernan and arrived in theaters a little over three decades ago, earning its place as one of the greatest action movies ever made. Set in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve, Die Hard follows NYPD cop John McClane as he flies cross-country in a bid to reconcile with his wife at her office Christmas party....

Following the successful Hunger Games film franchise, Lionsgate aimed to make the Divergent series their next dystopian cash cow. Like The Hunger Games, Lionsgate attempted to replicate the financial legs of other YA novel series adaptations (Harry Potter, Twilight) by splitting the final book, Allegiant, into two films. The second part (and fourth film in the series) would be called Ascendant. Similar to Hunger Games, the critical and box office reception of these arguably diluted chapters were among the weakest in the series....

It has been over three months since Marvel Studios initial release their fourteenth addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Strange. For most regions, the film is already out of local theaters as Marvel gears up for the film to return via various home release platforms. Many are eager to secure their digital or Blu-Ray copies of the film and get a chance to see the film once more, but not everyone has seen it a first time....

Gone are the days of streaming services just providing a place to binge-watch your favorite network shows; nowadays they’ve become places for original content to thrive, and Netflix’s slate of upcoming original TV shows for 2019 is something to be excited about. From early smash-hit original series like Orange Is The New Black, Netflix has expanded to create dozens of new series each year. Animation, comedy, docuseries, comic book adaptations; you name it, Netflix is making it....

The success of both Marvel’s Black Panther and DC’s Wonder Woman has led theater owners to demand more diversity in studio movies. Despite decades of popular films featuring people of color and women in lead roles - from indies to tentpoles - Hollywood continues to be hesitant when it comes to greenlighting more of these projects. Even worse, those same marginalized groups rarely make up the crew and creatives of movies....

Geraldine Viswanathan from Blockers is interested in playing Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios is nearing the end of Phase 3 with Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame, and while the former introduces a brand new hero to the MCU, the latter will likely say goodbye to many foundational heroes. Chris Evans has hinted his days as Captain America are coming to an end, and Robert Downey Jr....

The Bumblebee solo film could end up proving to be the soft reboot the series so desperately needs. After 2017’s Transformers: The Last Knight - director Michael Bay’s fifth installment in the series - underperformed at the box office, it became clear the Transformers cinematic franchise had to evolve. Bumblebee was in development before The Last Knight’s release, and is technically a prequel to the Bay films, but with some very minor adjustments it could prove to be a franchise revitalizing effort, rather than a small scale stop gap....

When we sat down with Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner on the set of Captain America: Civil War at Pinewood Atlanta Studios last summer, they felt happy and comfortable having steady supporting roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and didn’t seem keen on having to lead a Marvel movie on their own. But there’s no one happier than Anthony Mackie to be player for #TeamCap in the franchise. The group of online journalists in attendance thankfully had the chance to chat with Mackie solo on this set visit (read all about it here) and we took the opportunity to ask him about his role in Captain America 3, his interest in getting his own Marvel superhero movie, and a bunch of other unrelated craziness....

The reboot of Charlie’s Angels has officially confirmed its main cast with director Elizabeth Banks playing a key role. A reboot of the 1970s series has been in talks for a few years now, but plans for a 2019 film are officially moving forward. The film is still in development, but with the cast officially confirmed, the project will likely move forward with production and begin filming in the very near future....

With the first batch of M2 Macs being released, it could be just a matter of time until Apple unveils a new M2 iMac. After the most critical redesign for the line in years with the M1 iMac in 2021, it’s time to wonder what its successor will look like – and a concept imagines just that. As shared by designer Parker Ortolani on his Twitter, he imagines a new M2 iMac with darker colors with Starlight, Midnight, Green, Pink, and Blue....

Season 2 of the superb Starz sci-fi spy drama Counterpart is set to premiere in just over a week’s time, and a new trailer shows the fallout from the events of the first season finale. 2018 has been a very good year for fans of spy craft, as television has offered not only season 1 of Counterpart, but also Killing Eve, the final season of The Americans, and, more recently, the phenomenally well made AMC limited series The Little Drummer Girl....

Creed II looks set to feature an appearance by Brigette Nielsen, reprising her role as Ludmilla Drago from Rocky IV. It seemed the Rocky series came to end with 2006’s Rocky Balboa, which featured the aging, titular character coming out of retirement for one last bout. That changed when plans were announced for a spin-off titled Creed, which would feature Rocky acting as a mentor to the son of his late rival/friend Apollo Creed....

Terminator: Dark Fate is the latest installment in the beloved sci-fi franchise which hopes to refresh things after the last few disappointing entries. The film certainly has a lot of big draws for fans of the original films. James Cameron is back and heavily involved in shaping this new story, and he’ll be joined by franchise veterans Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton. The first trailer for the film hinted at what the new story has in store, but there are still a lot of things we don’t know....

Marvel star Dave Bautista has thrown some serious shade at the Fast & Furious franchise. Bautista is best known for playing Drax the Destroyer, who first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014. Since then the wrestler turned actor has appeared as Drax in three other Marvel outings, most recently Avengers: Endgame. Besides Vin Diesel appearing in the Fast & Furious movies and also voicing Groot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the two franchises share no connection....

[The following contains spoilers for Deadpool 2] Deadpool 2 co-writer Rhett Reese says Vanessa Carlysle (Morena Baccarin) could in a future movie finally become her fully realized comic book iteration, the mutant Copycat. Though you wouldn’t know it from her appearances in Deadpool and its sequel Deadpool 2, Vanessa Carlysle is supposed to be a lot more than just Wade Wilson’s love interest. In the original comics, Vanessa is actually a character named Copycat, a shape-shifting mutant who becomes a member of the X-Force....

Independence Day and Stargate writer/producer Dean Devlin is no longer involved with either sci-fi franchise. Devlin collaborated with Roland Emmerich on a trio of sci-fi films in the 1990s (Universal Soldier, Stargate, and Independence Day), putting both of their names on the map in the process. All three have since given rise to franchises that include multiple film and TV movie sequels for Universal Soldier, multiple TV series spinoffs for Stargate, and a big-budget movie sequel (released twenty years after the fact) for Independence Day....

It’s been announced that producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich will serve as showrunner and executive producer of Netflix’s upcoming fantasy saga The Witcher. Hissrich is best known for her work co-executive producing and writing for mutiple TV series such as Netflix’s The Defenders, Daredevil and Power. It was announced last May that Netflix would be developing a TV series based on Polish writer writer’s Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher saga. Since it’s creation in 1994, the series of books has been adapted into comic books by Maciej Parowski, Bogusław Polch and Sapkowski and a Polish movie and television series (both titled The Hexer) in 2001 and 2002, respectively, starring Michał Żebrowski as Geralt of Rivia in both....

Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed that the X-Men, Deadpool, and the Fantastic Four will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe aka. the MCU. As previously reported, Disney’s much-anticipated acquisition of 21st Century Fox has finally been confirmed, with the Mouse House shelling out billions for a sizeable chunk of Rupert Murdoch’s television and film assets. This essentially means that any properties that previously belonged to Fox are now in the hands of Disney - and crucially for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this includes both the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises....
