With a diverse cast of new and returning characters, a growing universe of Netflix crossovers due to Jessica Jones, as well as possible crossovers with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or other entries in the Marvel cinematic universe, there’s a lot more to follow than there was last season....

DeWanda Wise leaves Captain Marvel due to scheduling conflicts with her Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is growing larger every year, and next year is set to be a big one for Marvel Studios. After what will be 11 years of storytelling, they’re finally making a female led superhero movie and have tapped Oscar-winner Brie Larson to play the titular role of Carol Danvers. Considering the movie also has Marvel’s first female co-director attached, the push for more female heroes and characters continues to be clear....
Doctor Strange is now in theaters, and it’s a movie chock-full of surprises. Between a living cape, time travel, and a dizzying array of mind-blowing visuals that perfectly capture the Steve Ditko artwork that made the character famous, it’s a film that stands out from Marvel’s pack in more ways than one. For comic fans, though, perhaps the most exciting revelation in the film was the surprisingly substantial role played by Dormammu, Stephen Strange’s greatest enemy....
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Batman #90 Right as Batman has just begun to use his resources as Bruce Wayne to renovate the city for the better, a new villain named The Designer descends on Gotham, unleashing several of the DC Universe’s deadliest mercenaries on the city. This causes unease for members of Batman’s classic rogue’s gallery, such as Penguin, Riddler, Joker, and especially former villain Catwoman. The mercenaries and their actions have a ring of familiarity that brings them to the realization that The Designer is the man behind the plan....
Apple Music has launched a new cheaper plan called the Apple Music Voice Plan. Apple Music usually costs $9.99 per month for individuals or $14.99 per month for families. A discounted plan for students is available at $4.99 per month. The Voice Plan costs $4.99 per month, for anyone, but what’s the catch? The Apple Music Voice Plan is compatible with any Siri-enabled device that can play Apple Music. That means iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, HomePod, CarPlay, and AirPods are in… but third-party integrations like Apple Music for Echo or Samsung Smart TVs are not supported....
San Diego Comic-Con 2018 brought with it a wealth of big film and TV reveals, but the real excitement for movie fans the world over comes from the trailers. In the past, most SDCC footage was just for those lucky enough to be in Hall H, but after spates of leaks, more and more it’s being used to release full trailers. This year may not have been quite as voluminous as previous years, but more than made up for it in quality: we got first looks at Doctor Who season 11, Glass, Shazam!...
Update: The app is a secondary one popularly used for electronic check-ins at venues, distinct from the government app which uses the Apple/Google API. German police have misused a COVID-19 contact tracing app data by apparently faking an infection at a restaurant in order to obtain details of potential witnesses. The joint Apple/Google API used by the government app can’t be abused in this way, as it doesn’t track locations, but a separate app for QR code check-ins was misused …...
Corey Feldman has revealed his idea to bring his character, Tommy Jarvis, back to the Friday The 13th series. Tommy is a popular character with fans of the franchise, and appeared in parts four to six. Feldman played the character in part four - dubbed The Final Chapter - where Tommy was actually responsible for “killing” Jason in the finale, as the movie was originally intended to end the series....
David Hayter will return to voice both Solid Snake and Naked Snake in Super Bomberman R. Hayter came to define the voice of Solid Snake having the voiced the character in 1998’s Metal Gear Solid. Hayter could deliver both the humor and emotion of the role, and his gravelly line delivery made him a fan favorite. Hayter would go on to reprise Snake across numerous sequels and spinoffs, and would also play Naked Snake/Big Boss, the legendary soldier Solid Snake was cloned from....
A new batch of character descriptions for the Joker origin movie have reportedly surfaced—along with news that Robert De Niro is being eyed for a part. Despite the mixed reception Jared Leto’s Joker got in Suicide Squad, everyone was still shocked when it was announced DC was working on a separate film involving the Crown Prince of Crime that would tell his origin and recast the role. Even more shocking was the reveal that Todd Phillips of the Hangover franchise would be writing and directing, while veteran filmmaker Martin Scorsese would wade into the comic book waters and produce....
Walt Disney Animation Studios is currently experiencing one of the most successful spells in its almost-80-year existence since debuting in 1937 with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The studio has had a string of high-grossing, hugely popular hits, such as Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6 and, their most recent global smash, Zootopia, which has just passed the $1 billion mark. With Disney’s acquisition of Pixar Animation Studios, Lucasfilm, and Marvel Studios over the past decade, it’s safe to say that the House of Mouse is a dominant, financially successful powerhouse, with mega hits such as Inside Out, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Captain America: Civil War collectively making over $4 billion, all within the last 12 months....
It’s been nearly four years since the announcement that the Walt Disney Co. was purchasing Lucasfilm and making new Star Wars movies. Since then, Star Wars has become an ever-larger part of the Disney universe, between the films, carton TV shows on Disney XD (see Star Wars Rebels), novels/comic books, and much more. Of course, in 2015 there was the release of Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, the first Star Wars movie released by Lucasfilm under the Disney banner....
A sequel to the original 1982 Blade Runner film has been a long time coming and arrives at last this year, in the form of director Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049. While the movie stars Ryan Gosling, it has long been confirmed that Harrison Ford is reprising his role as the iconic Rick Deckard in the sequel. There were but a few characters left standing at the end of the original Blade Runner who could potentially return in the sequel, along with Deckard....
Yep, they made another one. Tyler Perry’s long-running Madea film series dates back to 2005’s Diary of a Mad Black Woman, which itself was an adaptation of Perry’s popular stage play. 12 years later, we’ve arrived at Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween, and at its current pace, the latest entry may well pull off the impossible: become the worst reviewed Madea flick ever. Boo 2! is the tenth movie in the franchise, although it’s tough to count I Can Do Bad All by Myself, a film in which Madea makes a brief appearance but is otherwise absent....
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is being made available to free for PS Plus members, with the game’s free availability coming into place as of 11 June, 2018. The game was a major success for the Call of Duty series, becoming a mainstay in the first-person shooter world and further winning back fans who had been disappointed by other recent installments of the series. However, soon the game is to be usurped when it comes to the Black Ops sub-series of Call of Duty....
Up until recently, I’d been using the Canon R5 as my day-to-day camera for photos and videos. Although I was able to make it work, things like overheating made it a little less than ideal for recording long form content, such as the in-depth video walkthroughs of iOS updates that I like to do. Canon’s recently released R5 C addresses the overheating problems, but also provides quite a few enhancements that Mac users, and Canon enthusiasts in general will appreciate....
Captain America: Civil War is, without a doubt, the largest event to unfold in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thus far. But Civil War is only the beginning. After the superhero clash, a handful of standalone films are scheduled to arrive, including Doctor Strange, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Thor: Ragnarok among others. But following Black Panther in February of 2018, the beginning of the end of the MCU as we know it could arrive with Avengers: Infinity War Part 1....
NOTE: The following post contains potential SPOILERS for Captain America: Civil War Following the massive success of Star Wars - Episode 7: The Force Awakens, movie fans have a lot to look forward to in 2016. Over the course of the last few years, summer movie season has started earlier and earlier - with major studio releases dropping in late-spring instead. The coming year pushes those high-profile releases forward again - with both Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War hitting theaters in March (25th) and May (6th), respectively....
Samuel L. Jackson improvised one of Nick Fury’s most hilarious scenes in Captain Marvel, directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck say. MCU fans were treated to a trip down memory lane with the Brie Larson-led flick. Set in 1995, the movie paved the way for the public to see how a young (and still two-eyed) Fury worked before he became the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and proponent of the Avengers Initiative. This gave Jackson the opportunity to portray the character a bit differently, considering where he was at that point in his life....
