Marcus Theatres, the fourth largest movie theater chain in the U.S. following AMC, Regal and Cinemark, disclosed Thursday that attendance at its locations grew about 7 percent during its third quarter ruled by Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine compared to a year earlier period.

The theater chain, run by president Mark A. Gramz, also said that its average ticket price increased 2.6 percent and average concession revenues per person increased 7.9 percent during quarter as compared to a year ago. Marcus said that in its fiscal quarter it saw $68 million in theatre admissions revenue and an additional $62 million in theatre concessions while theater and concessions costs and operations cost $92 million.

“While the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes impacted results for the first half of the year, we are pleased that the lingering effects seem to be further in the rearview mirror as demonstrated by the significant improvements in our third quarter fiscal 2024 results,” Gramz stated.

Listen up, Bub. If you went to see Deadpool & Wolverine on the big screen this summer, you’re far from alone. The third outing for Ryan Reynolds’ Merc With A Mouth was a colossal box office hit, making over $1.3 billion for Marvel. And that, surely, is in part thanks to his long-awaited team-up with Hugh Jackman’s Logan, making up for the misdeeds of 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine in a major way. But unless you caught it multiple times, chances are you didn’t clock all of the film’s rapid-fire gags and abundant MCU references. Fear not. Soon, you can stream Shawn Levy’s threequel to your heart’s content.

Disney has confirmed that Deadpool & Wolverine will be hitting Disney+ from 12 November – so you can revisit it (with subtitles on) and really take in every gasp-worthy insult that crosses Wade Wilson’s lips. And don’t even...

Exhibition giant Cinemark reported its third-quarter earnings on Thursday on a rise in revenue.

The company, led by president and CEO Sean Gamble, posted a quarterly profit of $187.8 million, compared with $90.2 million in the same period of 2023. Net income for the latest three months included a $42.7 million tax benefit “primarily related to the partial release of valuation allowances previously recorded in the U.S.”

Revenue of $921.8 million in the latest quarter was up 5.4 percent from the year-ago period. Cinemark’s third-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda), another profitability metric, grew to $220.5 million from $196.8 million a year ago. The company touted third-quarter records for both revenue and adjusted Ebitda.

On a morning analyst call, Gamble pointed to sustained enthusiasm by cinema-goers for Hollywood tentpoles in the third quarter to underline “the deep and lasting impact that a theatrical release generates through the unparalleled level of emotional connection,...

Amazon is making a TV show of Tomb Raider, with casting for the lead role of Lara Croft now in its final stages.

According to a new report, Amazon’s Tomb Raider series could be about to make its boldest step forwards yet with the appointment of its lead character, the ice-cool and intrepid explorer, Lara Croft.

The character has been the main draw in the games since the series’ beginnings in 1996 when she became something of a cultural icon, amassing a legion of fans in the decades that followed.

Given that previous live action takes on the character have come from no less than Angelina Jolie (pictured) and Alicia Vikander, the bar for a new actor to elegantly vault over has been set pretty high. According to Deadline, four names are in the frame to take the role in the planned TV series which is gearing up for a shoot early next year.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a titan of cinema for nearly two decades. It has broken box office record after box office record, and with the recent release of Deadpool and Wolverine, it's clear that it has no plans of changing its dominant approach anytime soon. Yes, even with the Infinity Saga having concluded over half a decade ago, the MCU still lives on.

There has been one noticeable shift to its approach, however; it's not just focused on movies anymore. With the beginning of the Multiverse Saga, Marvel Studios turned its attention to the small screen, launching a number of TV shows on the Disney Plus streaming service - all of which shared continuity with the MCU movies and even used some of the franchise's most popular characters.

The first of them, WandaVision, premiered in January 2021 and it was such a success for streamer, earning Marvel Studios critical...

It's hard to believe that Agatha All Along has been on our TV screens for seven weeks. Marvel Television's most recent series has been three years in the making, bringing Kathryn Hahn back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the nefarious ancient witch Agatha Harkness. What makes it even more special is that it is a spinoff to Marvel Studios' original Disney Plus series WandaVision, so it had some pretty big witchy shoes to fill. To say that it has pulled it off would be a major understatement.

The show has definitely made the most of the fact that it's a TV series, producing episodic adventures each week based around the trials that Agatha and her coven encountered on the Witches' Road. It was like WandaVision in that way, and a wonderful return to form for the MCU TV shows. It was also a heck of a way to...

After an incredibly successful run at the box office, Deadpool & Wolverine is finally heading to streaming. For those who have yet to see the film or are ready for a second go at it, the hilarious threequel will come to Disney+ on November 12th.

The announcement was made by Marvel Studios with the social media sharing a juvenile pun that couldn't be any more perfect for the tone of Deadpool & Wolverine.

Deadpool & Wolverine is the third film in the Merc with a Mouth's movie franchise, but it's the first to be made under the Marvel Studios banner. Prior to Marvel acquiring the movie rights to Wade Wilson, it was 20th Century Fox who brought the wise-cracking character to the big screen.

The first live-action appearance of Wade Wilson was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the spin-off...

Along with Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine is the only film to cross the billion-dollar threshold this year, according to Box Office Mojo. Released on July 26, the film hit VOD on Oct. 1, and today it was confirmed that the film will be streaming Disney+ starting on Nov. 12. Disney+ is available as a bundle with Hulu, and you can add Max or ESPN+ to your plan.

Disney+ has joined Netflix and Max (and a bunch of other streamers) with a new Top 10 compilation on its home screen. Disney’s version is just a bit more complicated than those other guys.

On Wednesday, Disney+ rolled out “Top 10 Today,” an effort to boost engagement and help people find something new to watch.

But unlike how Netflix calculates its Top 10, views here are “a component” of the algorithmic formula, but “not the sole determining factor,” per Disney’s announcement. The Disney+ rankings are based on views, yes, but also the growing popularity of that piece of content. In other words — ours — if it trends, it Top 10s. Feel free to borrow that, Disney.

Top 10 Today will appear different for different users. If you also subscribe to Hulu via the Disney Bundle, Hulu’s stuff is eligible for the list. A profile’s content ratings factors in as well. So...

Imax continues to leverage Hollywood’s ongoing box office recovery as the film technologies company unveiled its third-quarter financial results on Wednesday.

With cinema-going rebounding post-Hollywood strikes, Imax posted revenue of $91.5 million for the latest financial quarter, down 12 percent from revenue of $103.9 million during the year-ago period when Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer played on its screens.

Third quarter profits at $13.9 million was up 16 percent on profits of $12 million in the third quarter last year. The adjusted net profit per share in Q3 came to 35 cents, which matched a 35 cents adjusted earnings per-share in the same year-ago period.

Content Solutions revenues — or business from agreements with the major studios and filmmakers — at $30 million was down 32 percent year-over-year. With Deadpool & Wolverine and Alien: Romulus on its screens during the latest quarter, Imax saw its global box office haul come to $239 million.

That’s down from a year-earlier $347 million global box office...

Marvel has released a new tease for what’s coming in 2025 and that includes the first peeks at big shows like Wonder Man and Ironheart!

Marvel has had a rough time in the last year, with The Marvels flopping and the Jonathan Majors mess, meaning that Kang will no longer be the big bad of the MCU. However, they seem to be rebounding as Deadpool & Wolverine was a monster hit while Agatha All Along has won huge praise.

Now, Marvel just released a peek at their 2025 Disney+ slate which includes the debut of Deadpool & Wolverine on the streamer. But they also offer peeks at some of the new programs coming that promise to expand the MCU more!

The studio has released a teaser for its upcoming slate on Disney+, which includes premieres for six new series in 2025 along with a Nov. 12 streaming premiere for Deadpool & Wolverine and the Dec. 22 debut for the third season of What If … ?, Marvel’s alternate-universes animated anthology. The six shows on tap for next year are (in chronological order) animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (Jan. 29); Daredevil: Born Again (March 4); Ironheart (June 24); the animated Eyes of Wakanda (Aug. 6) and Marvel Zombies (October 2025), and Wonder Man (December 2025).

“Deadpool & Wolverine” grossed almost $1.38 billion worldwide, making it the 12th highest-grossing film domestically, passing “Barbie.”

Globally “Deadpool & Wolverine” sits at number 20, well below “Barbie” and also below “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “Black Panther,” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2.”

Currently, the film is available on digital as well as physical DVD and Blu-Ray.

The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Other Marvel cameos include...

After Disney bought Fox, fans knew that Mutants, including the X-Men, would eventually join the MCU. Deadpool and Wolverine have helped a bit with this crossover, and some Mutants have even appeared in the MCU. But everyone’s still waiting for the big, epic introduction of these major characters.

Right now, though, we don’t have many details. It seems Kevin Feige is focused on bringing in the Fantastic Four first. Although Marvel Studios is likely working on plans for the Mutants too, there’s no official word yet.

Because of this, rumors and theories keep popping up. In this report, we’ll dive into an interesting rumor shared by an industry insider. If you’re curious about what might be coming, read on!

The latest rumors and theories come from Christopher Marc, an entertainment journalist who covers different areas of the industry, sharing both news and rumors. Here’s...

After a record-smashing run in theaters worldwide over the summer, Marvel Studios’ superhero flick Deadpool & Wolverine, teaming Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth and Hugh Jackman’s Adamantium-clawed Marvel mutant, has been set to begin streaming on Disney+ on November 12.

Surpassing Joker to become the highest-grossing Rated-r film of all time, the Deadpool threequel opens on a listless Wade Wilson (Reynolds) toiling away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. But when his home world faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit up again with an even more reluctantlier… reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine (Jackman) to… oh hell, just watch the movie. Synopses are stupid.

Shawn Levy directed the pic which grossed over $1.34 billion worldwide, from his script written with Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells and Reynolds. He and Reynolds also produced alongside Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

Marvel Studios has announced the Deadpool & Wolverine Disney+ release with a new spot and key art. The film is also invading sports arenas today, giving fans a chance to handle their business like a superhero!

Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine, the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, makes its streaming debut on Disney+ on November 12. The Disney+ release goes far beyond the fourth wall with hilarious and insightful filmmaker commentary featuring director, producer, and writer Shawn Levy and star, producer, and writer Ryan Reynolds.

Plus, strap on your unicorn onesies because bathrooms at multiple sports arenas are receiving a serious upgrade today. Why? Because they’re the sacred stalls where all the magic goes down—literally.

After Disney’s acquisition of Fox, everyone knew that the Mutants, including the X-Men, would be coming to the MCU. While Deadpool & Wolverine helped somewhat in that integration, and Mutants have already been seen in the MCU, everyone’s waiting for the proper integration of these extremely important characters into the MCU, which – as everyone promises – is going to be epic!

Sadly, at this moment, we don’t know much. It seems that Feige is currently focused on the Fantastic Four and while we’re certain that the heads of Marvel Studios are simultaneously working on the Mutants as well, we don’t have any official information yet.

This, of course, means that the theory and rumor mills are working hard, and once every now and then, we get new theories and rumors about Marvel’s plans with the Mutants. In this report, we are going to focus on one...

Fox’s X-Men series spun into tangled timelines, including Wolverine’s trilogy and Deadpool.

2025 is shaping up to be quite an eventful year for Marvel fans as it seems Marvel Studios is planning on releasing a jam-packed slate of programs in the new year, including both live-action and animated originals.

In a new promo that seems to have arrived on Disney+ prematurely – or perhaps Disney planned to drop a promo that literally confirms its entire 2025 Marvel Studios slate just before midnight on a Tuesday night? – and has since taken the internet by storm, Disney+ teases its upcoming Marvel Studios slate with new dates for projects set to make their way to the streaming platform before the end of 2024 as well as revealing the full lineup of original series coming in 2025.

Deadpool & Wolverine Ott Release Date Revealed ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Deadpool & Wolverine has reached the last leg of its theatrical run and has already arrived on the digital platforms but as PVOD. A report has recently shared the streaming date of this Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds starrer Marvel movie on its home streaming platform. Scroll below for the deets.

About the film –

The movie was directed by Shawn Levy and produced by Marvel Studios. It is a sequel to the 2018 movie Deadpool 2. Ryan Reynolds reprised his role as Wade Wilson once again, marking Hugh’s return as Logan after around seven years. The movie featured Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Aaron Stanford, and Matthew Macfadyen in crucial roles.

Deadpool & Wolverine is part of Marvel’s Phase Five of the MCU and was made on a budget of $200 million. The movie collected around 6.7 times its production budget,...

Hugh Jackman’s training routine to get into superhero shape can be more than a chore to get through. And according to his ex-wife Deborra Lee-Furness, the dieting often puts him in a mood that’s very similar to his Wolverine character.

How Hugh Jackman’s dieting changes him according to Deborra-Lee Furness Hugh Jackman | Mathew Tsang/Getty Images

Jackman’s training routine for Wolverine doesn’t only affect him on a physical level, but a mental one as well. Before his days as a Marvel hero, Jackman wasn’t as experienced with physical fitness as he’d later become. Although he used to work at a gym, he more or less pitied some of the weightlifters he’d see before coming one himself.

“Before X-Men I’d never lifted a weight in my life. I used to work at a gym and I’d make fun of all the guys in the weight room.

It's been an interesting time for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The franchise that once dominated the box office two or three times a year has suffered a number of blows in recent years that had many questioning the endurance of its drawing power.

Films such as Eternals, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and The Marvels failed to achieve the levels of success that even some of the franchise's solid performers did, resulting in a new approach and an overhaul to Marvel Studios' release strategy. It also reportedly ensured that they would focus on quality over quantity going forward, spending more time perfecting the titles that are still in the works (and perhaps even cancelling some shows it might have been open to bringing back once upon a time).

This meant refocusing on every upcoming title and ensuring that they can make the most of it, producing strong outings...

Yeah. Josh Brolin said that. There is now a very real possibility that Brolin’s villainous face as Thanos can return in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We would be having our victory but… at what cost?

There’s this thing called a condition and Josh Brolin has become a master at it. Although the actor doesn’t have much demands for his role, we agree with what the Sicario star had to say about Thanos’ potential return in the MCU.

Josh Brolin Is Willing To Do Anything For Thanos’ Return!

It was the year 2019 when we last saw Josh Brolin as Thanos in Avengers: Endgame. His character was turned to dust by Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and the world would never be the same.

In The Stoic, after a group of mercenaries raid a gang's den, they flee to a country hideout with two hostages. A Stoic, a member of a criminal clan, enraged about the women's capture, attacks the mercenaries.

The conflict escalates into an explosive showdown between the Stoic and the mercenaries' ruthless boss determined to kill him.

British actor Scott Wright leads a cast which also sees screen icon Jason Flemyng deliver a memorable supporting turn as the enigmatic Carlisle.

During our conversation, Flemyng talks candidly about what drew him to The Stoic and the fun of hopping into a movie in exchange for "a brown envelope full of cash." On a more serious note, the actor also explains why he takes pleasure in supporting independent projects like this one given his own start alongside then-up-and-coming filmmakers Matthew Vaughn and Guy Ritchie.

Finally, we hear from him on his role as...

Sony Pictures billed “Venom: The Last Dance” as the final chapter in Tom Hardy’s alien-symbiote-buddy-comedy franchise. But with its $51 million domestic opening weekend — 44% and 55% lower than the previous two installments — the movie also signifies the continued twilight of superhero cinema as the dominant force at the box office.

Superhero movies used to be an indispensable revenue driver for the film industry. In 2018 and 2019, the average global gross for superhero fare was more than $1 billion. This year, it’s half that, even with the record-breaking success of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” In fact, the Ryan Reynolds-Hugh Jackman vehicle is the only comic book movie that could qualify as a hit since “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” debuted in June 2023. Since then, the genre has suffered an extraordinary box office drought. Film after film, from “The Flash” to “The Marvels” to “Madame Web,” opened to, at best, a shrug — and, at worst,...

The timbre around DC and Marvel has changed dramatically – it has, perhaps, evolved way more in 2024 than it ever did previously. James Gunn and Peter Safran are now at DC rebooting its film franchise with a more ‘take-everyone-along’ approach. Fans are hoping for it to be a far cry from Snyder’s DC universe, which on its best days made very little sense. A new Superman film will kick things off next year with Matt Reeves’ Batman sequel tabled after that. For television, Paradise Lost (a series about Themyscira) is also under development.

Marvel, meanwhile, is still struggling to navigate the unsettling post-Phase III seas – so much so that Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom had to be announced to steady the sails. After the cultural phenomenon of the Infinity Saga, and the tottering Multiverse, Phase V has, until now, paled in comparison. Projects like Blade and Fantastic Four remain highly anticipated,...

The Mahershala Ali film that Disney recently put on indefinite hold has angered and disappointed a lot of fans. Blade was one of the most awaited films for MCU fans, but it seems that they will have to wait a little longer.

Despite the reports of the indefinite hold, it seems that Disney and Marvel might just be course-correcting the upcoming film. A new rumor suggests that the budget has also been slashed compared to other Marvel films.

Marvel’s Blade is Allegedly Still in Production

Films being put on hold is almost never a good sign. However, there may be some projects that need a little more time and consideration to be just perfect. Mahershala Ali’s Blade might just be one of them.

Going to the cinemas has always been a huge thing for avid movie-goers and nothing really beats the overpriced theatre popcorn. However, 2024’s themed popcorn bucket trend has added to that hype as fans rush to the big screen for more than just the movies.

Believed to have started after Dune: Part Two‘s questionable popcorn buckets, the trend picked up pace as others joined in the fun. Deadpool & Wolverine‘s risqué and suggestive buckets also made it to the list of Nsfw movie collectibles. Finally, Moana 2‘s tame popcorn bucket broke the curse set by its predecessors with its on-brand design.

Blake Lively, with her slew of movies, has gained quite a big fan following and popularity world-wide. She made her acting debut in Sandman, released in 1998, but gained international acclaim for playing Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl. The show ran from 2007 to 2012 and lasted for six seasons, and as it progressed, so did the popularity of Lively.

After participating in the teen drama, the actress started getting lead roles in movies as well, and in 2010, while filming Green Lantern, she crossed paths with Ryan Reynolds. The duo initially started as friends, but romantic sparks soon flew between them, and they started dating. They got married in 2012 and currently have four kids together. Further, everything was going well for the actress, and she even had one of the biggest movies of her career lined up.

But this wasn’t without...

In the school yearbook of superhero projects, 2018's "Venom" would definitely have been voted "Least likely to succeed." It was an origin story about a supervillain whose comic book origins are inextricably tied to Spider-Man ... but Spider-Man wasn't even in it, being tied up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Instead, "Venom" was to be part of Sony's own shared superhero universe (which at one point bore the unfortunate acronym "Spumc").

Against all odds, "Venom" was a box office hit. Then the 2021 sequel "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" was also a sizable hit. And although this year's threequel is heading for the lowest opening weekend of the franchise so far, it'll still be the second-biggest opening for a superhero movie of 2024 to date. Per TheWrap, "Venom: The Last Dance" is on track for an estimated $52 million debut at the domestic box office after grossing $22 million on Friday (including previews). That's...

In the ever-evolving Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans have much to look forward to in the upcoming years. After going through a bit of a dry spell with its projects, Deadpool & Wolverine‘s immense success has raised the stakes even higher for future projects of the Marvel Studios.

Soon, the entertainment franchise is set on expanding in all of its realms, be it blockbuster movies, TV series on Disney+, or spell-binding video games. Fans will see new characters being introduced, familiar faces returning, and fascinating storylines emerging. Here’s a look at what the upcoming years have in store to keep Marvel fans enthralled, entertained, and mystified.

Captain America: Brave New World marks Anthony Mackie‘s debut as Captain America. His character, Sam Wilson was first introduced in the second Cap film, Captain America: Winter Soldier, where he develops a friendship with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). In Avengers: Endgame,...

One of the most intriguing parts of television shows is recasting actors even when they have been doing well with their performance. And Ed Skrein knows exactly how that feels after he was replaced in Game of Thrones.

Fans would remember the actor notably portrayed Daario Naharis, the dashing love interest of Daenerys Targaryen. Then, all of a sudden, the studio decided to ditch him in the fourth season with a new star on board.

Ed Skrein Opens Up About Getting Replaced in Game of Thrones

Many had been wondering why there was a need to replace Ed Skrein in Game of Thrones, and while the reports claimed he walked away to work on a new movie at the time, it was not entirely true. Indeed, he starred in The Transporter: Refueled in 2015, but it was not the reason he departed from the show.

Announced last month in the wake of Deadpool & Wolverine's record-breaking box office success, next January will see the release of a new Deadpool/Wolverine comic book.

Writer Benjamin Percy and artist Joshua Cassara, known for their explosive work together on X-Force and X Lives of Wolverine, will reunite for a series that sees the iconic superhero duo in a new ongoing series chock-full of long-buried secrets, unpredictable twists, and a villainous plot that’ll turn long-term and newly arriving X-readers' heads.

Today, we have a first look at the action to come courtesy of some never-before-seen preview pages. Both characters are suited up for a new adventure together and it's clear this has been inspired by the Marvel Studios movie.

Here's the official description for Deadpool/Wolverine #1:

The most unlikely team-up turned most demanded one, Deadpool and Wolverine are back together again and ready to blow your minds in...

Hugh Jackman has had a good 2024 on the career front with Deadpool & Wolverine becoming one of the highest-grossing films of the year. The actor returned to the role of Wolverine after seven years and joined Ryan Reynolds in both of their MCU debuts.

Jackman shocked his fans last year when he announced that he and his wife of thirty years, Deborra-Lee Furness, were filing for divorce. Now, the actor is rumored to be dating his The Music Man co-star Sutton Foster. The actress is best known for her Broadway work and is reportedly already a millionaire.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness seemed to be the epitome of love until they shocked the world with their divorce announcement. The former couple issued a statement to the press, saying that after thirty years,...

Agatha All Along premiered shortly after The Acolyte, which failed spectacularly, largely due to its quality issues and a strong backlash against its Dei themes.

Many fans of the MCU feared that Agatha All Along would face a similar fate. The MCU has been struggling lately, and it seemed that the show had all the elements for another review-bombing campaign.

Think about it. The show centers on a lesser-known character that many people aren’t particularly invested in, and it features magic and witchcraft with an almost entirely female cast. The only male actor is a somewhat flamboyant gay character.

Despite this, the expected backlash didn’t materialize. There were a few attempts to review-bomb the show, mainly on IMDb, but it seemed that even the critics didn’t care enough about Agatha All Along to go through with it.

However, the viewership numbers told a different story.

Agatha All Along...

There is a slew of villains that Deadpool could bring in for his next outing, which is rumored to include Wolverine as well. However, there are few villains that could actually do any lasting damage to the Merc with a Mouth.

Deadpool could get one of the other generic X-Men villains to be a part of his film, or he could introduce a terrifying villain into the MCU who would not only be a threat to him but also to the likes of Wolverine.

Death Grip is a character who has the ability to absorb life forces and souls, which is how he managed to absorb the abilities of the Muramasa Blade, which famously nullifies any sort of healing factor that heroes like Deadpool and Wolverine have.

Vaughn seemingly had big plans for the character, only for Bryan Singer's return to the franchise with X-Men: Days of Future Past to result in Magneto's original Brotherhood being killed off-screen. Nightcrawler's father got a second chance in Deadpool & Wolverine as one of The Void's Variants, but he was played by stuntman Eduardo Gago Munoz in place of Flemyng.

X-Men: The Last Stand star Vinnie Jones previously revealed that he turned down the chance to return as Juggernaut due to the hassle of donning the costume for such a minor role, and it was a similar situation for Flemyng.

Talking to us earlier today about his role in The Stoic, the British screen icon confirmed that...

Henry Cavill is a well-known name in the fantasy genre. He initially gained fame for his successful roles as Superman in the Dceu and as Geralt in The Witcher, but at one point, his career hit a rough patch. He lost both roles, missed out on becoming James Bond (for which he was a top contender), and his other projects didn’t achieve much success.

However, he got a boost after his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, where he played an alternate version of Wolverine. Fans loved this appearance, even though it was just a brief cameo with no future plans.

Since then, fans have been eagerly calling for Cavill to join the MCU, and according to a new rumor, this possibility might actually be on the table—if the rumor turns out to be true. Keep reading for more details!

The rumor originates from John Campea, who talked about...

Deadpool & Wolverine's "The Art of the Movie" book goes on sale in a few days and a new video offers a glimpse at what's inside. That includes a long list of Variants left on the cutting room floor along with comic-accurate costumes for the Human Torch and Elektra.

For now, though, we're focusing on Wolverine. The montage featuring his many Variants remains a highlight in the Marvel Studios threequel but it's now clear that many of them didn't make the final cut.

As you'll see, a long list of alternatives was considered, including a Hulkverine and the Logan we first met in 2000's X-Men. There's also a version of the character in his Ultimate suit from the comics and a Patch who is shown standing alongside the Joe Fixit Hulk.

There was only ever going to be a certain amount of room in the threequel but we'd say Marvel...

James Cameron Sold the Rights for Just $1 to Direct It (Photo Credit – Koimoi)

Long before Titanic had us reaching for tissues and Avatar changed the game, James Cameron wasn’t what he is now. In the early ’80s, he was a scrappy Canadian filmmaker with a bonkers idea about time-traveling killer robots. Spoiler alert: that idea turned into The Terminator. But the real kicker? Cameron had to sell the rights for just one dollar to make it happen. One. Buck.

James Cameron: A Dollar for a Dream

So why would anyone sell the rights to a movie for the price of a gas station coffee? Because Cameron bet on himself. He wanted to direct so severely that he made a deal with producer Gale Anne Hurd: the rights to The Terminator in exchange for his shot behind the camera. At the time, his directing resume was… questionable. The only...

Deadpool & Wolverine, released this summer, is the latest MCU movie. The film was a big hit, breaking many box-office records and earning over a billion dollars. With these numbers, the future looks bright for both Deadpool and Wolverine in the MCU, and Ryan Reynolds recently hinted at a part of that future.

Reynolds teased a new project by posting a photo of what looks like a Christmas-themed set. In the picture, he is partially in his Deadpool costume, hugging Leslie Uggams, who is well-known for playing Blind Al in several projects.

This can be something as small as some kind of an ad or a commercial, but it can also lead to something much bigger – a new MCU special.

The biggest hint that this could be a special comes from the background. If you focus enough you can see that the set is Christmas-themed. We already had a Christmas...

With The Mandalorian And Grogu still over a year away, a look at some of the Star Wars films Lucasfilm hasn’t made since 2019.

The release of 2015’s The Force Awakens sparked the beginning of a frenzied five years for the Star Wars franchise. It was a period that saw a new film in the series released annually, with numbered sequels interspersed with the spin-offs Rogue One (2016) and Solo (2018). Then 2019 happened, and things went rather quiet.

One problem, for Disney-owned production company Lucasfilm, was that 2019’s The Rise Of Skywalker barely made a billion dollars in cinemas – only half of what The Force Awakens had made four years earlier. The other problem was that Solo: A Star Wars Story, which cost somewhere around $270m to make, only made $400m.

Those declining numbers appeared to give Lucasfilm pause, because it’s spent the years since announcing or hyping future Star Wars movies,...

Apart from Deadpool & Wolverine, comic book movies aren’t having a great 2024. The knives have also been sharpened in the lead-up to Venom: The Last Dance, especially since Sony’s Spider-Man Universe is seen with the same disdain as a moldy rat in a sandwich. Is it a necessary sequel? No. Is it inevitably leading […]

Venom: The Last Dance Movie Review – The Symbiote Saga’s Final Installment Washes Away the Sour Taste of Joker 2 Written by Sergio Pereira for Fortress of Solitude...

Tom Hardy leveled up his A-list status when he became Venom in 2018. Since then, the Venom franchise has elevated the careers of many talented actors, including Juno Temple, who joined for the third and final installment of the beloved Marvel series. The 35-year-old stepped out in London with Ted Lasso costar Hannah Waddingham to celebrate the premiere of Venom: The Last Dance. See Temple’s wild outfit and learn about her role here.

Juno Temple has continued to shine with her versatile acting roles over the last year. The English actor gained widespread recognition in Ted Lasso. Her role as Keeley Jones earned her critical acclaim and solidified her as a standout in the comedy-drama world, forever tying her with close friend and fellow Brit, Hannah Waddingham.

There is little doubt that Ryan Reynolds is one of the biggest stars that Hollywood has on offer. The Marvel’s Deadpool and Wrexham AFC owner has starred in a plethora of hit projects such as Free Guy and Detective Pikachu, but is currently facing a bit of a stutter, with the release of Paramount Pictures’ If, which has till date made just over $104 million, against a budget of $110 million.

The John Krasinski offering has thus far failed to make an impact and boasts of a 49% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. While there may be plenty of reasons why the movie has failed to even break even thus far, one fan recently claimed on Twitter that it might have something to do with the ‘movie fatigue’ that is currently afflicting theatre audiences. The fan suggested that the performance of If at the box office might simply be down to the fact...

Last Christmas saw the release of What If...? season 2 and with Agatha All Along wrapping up just in time for Halloween, the hope was that we might get another Marvel Animation series before the year is over.

It's previously been reported that Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man might debut in 2024, but according to The Cosmic Circus, we shouldn't expect to see the wall-crawler on Disney+ until 2025 at the earliest.

"We can report that our sources have informed us of a delay for Marvel animated series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man until 2025," reads an X post shared by the site. "Sorry, Spidey fans!"

This is disappointing and we don't necessarily anticipate What If...? season 3 being ready in the next couple of months either. Marvel Zombies has been in production for a while, though that's surely a series Marvel would save for next Halloween.

On the plus side, it looks like we might get...

Deadpool & Wolverine is the latest installment in the MCU and has become the most successful film in Phases 4 and 5. The movie broke several box office records and delighted fans with plenty of laughs, along with Deadpool and Wolverine’s official entry into the MCU.

While audiences embraced the film, critics pointed out its lack of depth. Interestingly, it was also linked to She-Hulk: Attorney At Law. Critics observed that elements heavily criticized in She-Hulk—such as the dance scenes—were praised in Deadpool & Wolverine, attributing the show’s lack of success to issues of patriarchy once again.

Shortly after the movie’s release, rumors began circulating that She-Hulk was meant to have two cameo scenes. Tatiana Maslany filmed these appearances, including a significant fight scene with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.

However, after two weeks of training, her performance received criticism during test screenings for lacking the...
