What a report / Isn't it neat / Wouldn't you think Disney's collection's complete / Wouldn't you think they're the brand / The brand that has...everything Apparently not. Or, more likely, they know we want more. After 92 million first-day views of the new Beauty and the Beast live action teaser, Deadline.com reports that Disney is exploring the possibility of making [...]
The fallout from Batman V Superman continues. But perhaps for the first time, it's in a direction that's proactive and not reactive, and will bring order to its galaxy (to coin a term from another franchise). The biggest strength and advantage that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had over DC's is an authoritative executive voice, one that steered [...]
I'm no Marvel fan, but wow, this cast is looking legit. Following the electric buzz surrounding actor Chadwick Boseman's debut as Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War, the cast for that character's first stand alone entry is starting to take shape - including the possible villain. Already in discussions (but not confirmed) is Oscar-winner Lupita [...]

I'm no gamer so I couldn't tell you diddley about Assassin's Creed, but buzz has it that the movie adaptation of the popular video game series could be huge. And now, the film's first images are hitting the web (see gallery below). As a novice to the property, I'll simply copy-and-paste the studio's plot summary: Through a revolutionary technology that unlocks [...]
Team Marvel vs Team DC. Who's side are you on? The box office answer is clear. Just a little over a month since DC launched their Universe with Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Marvel followed up with its own much-hyped Heroes v Heroes showdown, Captain America: Civil War. The latest Marvel entry outpaced BvS, [...]
Zack Snyder's power over the Justice League quadrant of the DC Universe just went from singular to shared. In an unexpected but unsurprising move, Warner Bros. announced that - in addition to starring as Batman - two-time Academy Award winning filmmaker Ben Affleck has now been given the role of Executive Producer over the Snyder directed Justice [...]
I've got a good feeling about this. After an extensive casting search, Lucasfilm has landed on its new young Han Solo: Alden Ehrenreich.
