The Flash: Batman Set Photo Could Be Teasing Villain From Dark Knight’s Past

It’s safe to say there’s never been a DC movie quite like The Flash. Yes, this is a movie about Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen, the DCEU’s superhero youngster who is still learning the ropes since his team-up with the grown-ups in 2017’s Justice League, but the film is also much bigger than that. Not only will it feature many of the greatest superheroes in comic book history, but it will bring in Batmen from two separate movie universes, as well as Supergirl (Sasha Calle), to team up with the Scarlet Speedster for a multiverse-spanning adventure. But in a movie as…

The Many Saints of Newark Review: The Sopranos Prequel Has Cement Shoes

Oof, Madonna. It’s a good thing Tony Soprano came in at the end of this thing of theirs during the series, because it turns out the glory days of the New Jersey mob family were a mess. The lingering question at the end of the film shouldn’t be who killed the main character, but why didn’t Tony finish college. Director Alan Taylor’s The Many Saints of Newark is not really a standalone film. It requires a knowledge of The Sopranos. More than that, the series is a Dutch uncle to the movie, holding its hand a little too tightly, and…

Kelly Olsen’s Guardian Debut is Supergirl at Its Best

The following contains Supergirl spoilers Supergirl Season 6 Episode 12 Out of all the Arrowverse shows, Supergirl has always been the most upfront and open about its politics. From explicitly positioning Kara Zor-El as a refugee in the expository narration that opens each episode to telling stories about immigration, police brutality, and LGBTQ rights, this is a show that takes the promise of hope, help, and compassion for all very seriously.  Unafraid to tackle potentially difficult or uncomfortable topics head-on, Supergirl frequently challenges the hearts and minds of its viewers with thorny big-picture questions about what being a hero really…

How The Many Saints of Newark Almost Brought Carmela Soprano Back

To some, The Many Saints of Newark is just a period piece mob movie that will pop up in their HBO Max feed on October 1.

Why Spider-Man 3’s Venom Didn’t Need to Be a Joke

By now, Marvel’s Venom is principally associated with Tom Hardy’s hulking symbiotic anti-hero movie protagonist. While lacking comic rival Spider-Man, the 2018 film delivered an exponential bang for studio Sony’s buck with an $856 million global gross, yielding imminently-arriving sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage. However, with Spider-Man: No Way Home set to conjure a cavalcade of villains from past iterations, the notorious first live-action version of Venom, as played by Topher Grace, has entered the speculative conversation—albeit humorously. Yet, the character’s punchline status could have been avoided. Of course, said conversation on prospective returnees for Spider-Man: No Way Home…

Daniel Craig Doesn’t Think a Woman Should Be James Bond

Daniel Craig stirred up international headlines back in 2005 when the press was horrified that we were about to get a blonde James Bond. Or “James Blond” as The Daily Mail (among many others) cracked. But now Craig is making headlines of his own about who should and shouldn’t be the next 007, as he revealed why despite some social media support to the contrary, he doesn’t think the next Bond should be played by a woman. “The answer to that is very simple,” Craig told Radio Times when asked if he thinks a woman should next sit behind the…

Guillermo del Toro, James Gunn, and Edgar Wright Reveal Secrets About Their Unmade Movie Scripts

Arguably just as interesting as the movies themselves are the behind-the-scenes stories about how the films we love were made. Then there are tales about the scripts that were never produced at all, which provide their own kind of delight for cinephiles. Just have a look at Leigh Brackett’s original script for a little movie called “Star Wars II” or the Roger Corman Fantastic Four movie that could have been or the George Miller-directed Justice League film that was just weeks away from shooting, but for every mythical script that makes the rounds on the internet, there are many more…

Link Tank: Beta Ray Bill Could Be Coming to the MCU

After a brief Easter egg in Thor: Ragnorak, Beta Ray Bill might finally make his MCU debut in Thor: Love and Thunder. “One of the few Thor: Love and Thunder plot details Marvel officially confirmed is that it will see Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster turning into The Mighty Thor. That means the film will feature, at the very least, two different versions of the God of Thunder in Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Portman’s Jane. However, one of the more recent, popular rumors surrounding the film is that it will include the surprise appearances of multiple Thors from different universes. If…

Only Murders in the Building Theories: Who Killed Tim Kono?
