Where Black Panther 2 Leaves Wakanda and the MCU

New DVD release
This article contains Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spoilers. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever begins with the unexpected, shocking (and offscreen) death of Wakanda’s King T’Challa, victim of an unspecified disease that even his brilliant scientist sister Shuri (Letitia Wright) could not stop. It’s a harrowing, relatively brief prologue to the film that, of course, reflects the real-life 2020 passing of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman. T’Challa’s death seemingly leaves Wakanda, now ruled by T’Challa and Shuri’s mother, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), vulnerable, especially since no one is stepping up right away to take on the mantle of the country’s protector: the…

Who is Marvel’s New Black Panther in Wakanda Forever?

New DVD release
This article contains Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spoilers. How can you do a Black Panther movie without Chadwick Boseman? The shocking news of Boseman’s death in 2020 raised many questions about the sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Realizing that there’s no replacing Boseman himself, Kevin Feige and director Ryan Coogler decided against recasting T’Challa and allowing a different character to become the Black Panther. Of the many characters in the MCU, the Black Panther may be best suited to legacy. After all, we know from the first film that T’Challa was just the latest in a long line of Panthers,…

The Marvel Cameo in Black Panther 2 Matters More Than Any Other in the MCU

New DVD release
This article contains Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spoilers. The Ancestral Plane is a personal thing for each person who accesses it. This truth was made explicitly clear in the original Black Panther movie. During that 2018 landmark superhero epic, the metaphysical space is revealed as a destination reserved for members of the Wakandan royal family. New arrivals to the afterlife (or simply visitors stopping briefly by, thanks to the Heart-Shaped Herb) see a uniquely individual paradise that best suits the events and memories from their own lives. For Chadwick Boseman’s King T’Challa, that came in the form of a psychedelic…

Wakanda Forever Ending Explained: Where it Leaves the World of Black Panther in the MCU

New DVD release
This article contains Black Panther 2 spoilers. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever begins with a nation in disarray. Their beloved leader King T’Challa, the Black Panther, has died, just after he brought Wakanda onto the world stage. Despite the vast sacrifices he and Wakanda made to battle Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and despite the gift of Vibranium he gave to the world, it wasn’t enough. Various Western forces — including those of the US government, led by the Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine — want to take advantage of the country’s mourning, driving Namor to force Wakanda into conflict with the underwater nation of Tālocān.…

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Soundtrack Might Surpass the Original

New DVD release
Wakanda Forever! After the tragic passing of star Chadwick Boseman forced Marvel Studios and director Ryan Coogler to rethink their approach for a sequel to 2018’s smash hit, Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hits theaters this weekend. The long-awaited sequel will double as both the latest entry in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and as a tribute to the late Boseman. Box office projections estimate that the film is set to open to between $175 million and $185 million domestically, putting it slightly lower than the original film’s $202 million opening weekend haul, but making it the…

10 Rejected James Bond Songs Better Than the Movie Versions

New DVD release
The James Bond franchise is the gold standard for long-running film series. Sixty years of 007 have not only come with new takes on the secret agent himself but what the franchise should be for each generation of the character. This has meant consistent alterations to every aspect of the movies, as one star takes over for another, from ditching the overt sexism on Bonds past when Daniel Craig took over the role to embracing the absurd in the early years, namely the later Sean Connery films and the majority of the Roger Moore era. Even the music has changed…

How Black Panther 2 Addresses The Passing of Chadwick Boseman

New DVD release
This article contains some Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spoilers. Marvel’s Black Panther was an unprecedented cultural moment in ways that are still being felt today. More than just prove the world was ready (desperate even) for a Black superhero film, Black Panther also provided towering evidence that we were eager for a mainstream Hollywood movie steeped in African civilization and futurism, made by a nearly all-Black cast and crew. It earned a record-shattering $1.3 billion at the box office while on its way to an astounding seven Oscar nominations, including Best Picture (the first ever for a superhero movie). It…

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Post-Credits Scene Explained

New DVD release
This article contains Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spoilers. We’ve long known the second Black Panther movie would be something of a wake. After making such a profound impact on the culture with 2018’s Black Panther, the loss of star Chadwick Boseman felt like a genuine blow to our collective psyche. A young, gifted, and exceedingly warm screen presence, Boseman influenced the way an entire younger generation could see themselves in our most popular modern fairy tales (i.e. superhero movies). So it felt crucial that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever addressed that loss honestly. And, indeed, Ryan Coogler’s second MCU picture both…

Black Panther 2: What Marvel Movies Should You Watch to Get the Full Experience?

New DVD release
The original Black Panther movie was a game-changer for Marvel Studios and perhaps the superhero genre as a whole. Released in February and (at least in the the minds of some fans) in the shadow of what was the latest Avengers movie, it’s doubtful even Disney anticipated Black Panther to open north of $200 million or that it would go on to be the first superhero flick nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. Yet here we are in the shadow of a true, kingly MCU movie. Still, the road to its sequel has been long and marred by tragedy.…

Quentin Tarantino: Today’s Filmmakers ‘Can’t Wait’ for Superhero Movies to Fail

New DVD release
Quentin Tarantino does not want to direct superhero movies. That was the immediate buzz, at least among geek media, when The Los Angeles Times’ profile of the maverick filmmaker dropped late Friday, with the director confirming to no one’s particular surprise that he has little interest in making a movie based on either Marvel or DC comic book characters. “You have to be a hired hand to do those things,” Tarantino told the newspaper, “I’m not a hired hand. I’m not looking for a job.” The immediate internet backlash to that was quick and predictable, but it should be noted…

The Real History of Enola Holmes 2 and the Matchgirls’ Strike of 1888

New DVD release
This piece contains spoilers for Enola Holmes 2. The first official case for young Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) starts with a missing girl: factory worker named Sarah Chapman (Hannah Dodd). But as Enola tugs at all the loose threads, she discovers mounting evidence—a missing page from the factory books, a suspicious surge of typhus, a scandalous romance—that draws the attention of the factory’s owners, Scotland Yard, and even her brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill). It all culminates in Sarah, her sister Bessie (Serrana Su-Ling Bliss), and the other factory girls going on strike—a real-life event which grounded the movie’s events…

Bedevilled Is The Most Underrated Korean Horror Movie

New DVD release
In recent years, South Korean cinema has received well-deserved international attention for its unique blends of genre, societal commentary, and unpredictability. While several prominent Korean films garnered significant attention abroad, namely Parasite, there is one film that deserves more recognition: Bedevilled, the 2010 directorial debut of Jang Cheol-soo. While Cheol-soo became most known for his comedy-drama movie Secretly, Greatly, his horror film Bedevilled is a must-watch for any genre junkie. The trick to understanding South Korean horrors is they often explore multiple intense emotions outside of fear. This includes sadness, despair, regret, and helplessness. They don’t scare us in a…

How Cary Grant Almost Changed the James Bond Character Forever

New DVD release
Cary Grant was James Bond before James Bond. Sixty years since the release of Dr. No and Sean Connery’s era-defining performance as 007, it sounds crazy that Grant almost beat him to the role, but as late as 1962 it made perfect sense—including to the men who produced the James Bond movies. As the Hollywood leading man who perfected the Hollywood ideal of debonair sophistication and unflappable suaveness, Grant was a class act that couldn’t be beaten, and for the better part of 30 years all of Hollywood agreed. This included one of the two godfathers of the James Bond…

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Review – Tribute to a King

New DVD release
When you take away the spectacle, the visual effects, the easter eggs, the callbacks, and everything else that people love (and criticize) about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the success of this franchise still comes down to one fundamental thing: its characters. Marvel wouldn’t be where it is today if the studio hadn’t created exceptionally well-cast and empathetic superheroes—most of them flawed and human in some way—that audiences wanted to keep following for years even if sometimes the movies themselves were a bit wonky (hello, Thor). And one of the most successful character adaptations for the screen was T’Challa, the Black…

Skyfall Director Admits Big Regret About His Bond Movie

New DVD release
Few would disagree that 2012’s Skyfall is among the best entries in not only Daniel Craig‘s 5-film run as James Bond but the entire franchise. The movie featured all the standards of a proper Bond film, complete with Adele’s torch song, nifty gadgets from Q, and a diabolical villain in former MI6 agent Raoul Silva (who, yes, has a physical abnormality, because this is a Bond film). But Skyfall also added new twists to the series, including showing the death of M, who had only been replaced without comment in previous movies, and exploring 007’s youth, finally putting to rest…

James Bond 26: What’s Going On With the Next 007 Movie?

New DVD release
We know Bond will be back…but what will he look like? Daniel Craig’s run as 007 is over, and while there aren’t any concrete details about what the next James Bond film will be, when it’s coming out, or who will star in it, series producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have already said plenty about what they’re looking for in their new secret agent. And what they aren’t. For those who haven’t kept up to date on what’s going on with Bond 26, or just want a better picture of what’s next for the franchise as a whole,…

Ryan Coogler Explains Missing Black Panther Character in Wakanda Forever

New DVD release
There’s a new face behind the claws and cowl, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe prepares to usher in its next era with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Disney’s latest batch of Marvel outings is rounding off in poignant style, with Ryan Coogler’s sequel to 2018’s movie waving goodbye to Phase 4 alongside Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa.  Although most of the Black Panther cast are back for more, the tragic passing of Boseman in 2020 means he’s unable to return for Wakanda Forever. It isn’t just events out of Coogler’s hands that mean characters aren’t suiting up for the war between the Wakandans…

Enola Holmes 3: Where Could the Sherlock Holmes Spinoff Go Next?

New DVD release
This article contains some Enola Holmes 2 spoilers. “It appears the game has found its feet again.” Enola Holmes’ riff on one of her brother’s most famous catchphrases is a succinct metaphor for Netflix’s reimagining of the Sherlock Holmes mythos. It’s familiar, a little ungainly, but cheerfully cute with its self-aware wink to the audience. And so it is that the game is very much finding its feet, or something like that, in the Enola Holmes franchise. Based on the Nancy Springer young adult book series, and featuring Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown both as star and producer, the Enola…

Arnold Schwarzenegger Finally Confirms Old Sylvester Stallone Flop Rumor

New DVD release
Gather ’round young ones, listen to my tale of titans of old! Long before our action heroes were handsome men like Hemsworth or Evans, bodybuilders ruled the silver screen, like Dolph Lundgren and Carl Weathers and Jessie “The Body” Ventura. But none were greater than former Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Italian Stallion Sylvester Stallone. From their humble cinematic beginnings as Hercules in New York or Joe “Machine Gun” Viterbo in Death Race 2000, the two came to rule cinemas of the 1980s and 90s in action classics such as The Terminator and Rambo: First Blood Part II. Throughout…

Adam Warlock Could Bring the Infinity Stones Back to the MCU

New DVD release
This article contains MCU spoilers Concentrated ingots forged from the singularities that founded the universe. That’s how the Collector described the Infinity Stones in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Since that introduction, the Stones have only loomed larger in the minds of audiences, especially when Thanos used them to snap away half of all existence in Avengers: Infinity War. But when we last saw Infinity Stones in the MCU, they were a joke, trinkets to be tossed aside by the TVA in Loki. For some, that gag was among the funniest in the show, but others saw it…
