Gunn remains adamant that the plan is still to forge ahead with another actor for the DCU's Caped Crusader, but we are going to see at least one more instalment in Reeves' "Epic Crime Saga" as well.

16+ hour, 15+ min ago (405+ words) Before devoting himself to the world of Pandora with 20th Century Studios'Avatar franchise, filmmaker James Cameron put himself on the map with The Terminator and its sequel, Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Several sequels followed, but without Cameron at the helm, they were unable to makethe same impact. The moviesranked from bad to forgettable and only okay, a shame when the Terminator franchise is more relevant now than it's perhaps ever been. Artificial intelligence is on the rise, something Cameron and many other Hollywood heavyweights have expressed concerns about. After previously teasing a return to the Terminator franchise, the Avatar: Fire and Ash director shared an update this week while speaking to io9(via SFFGazette.com), and revealed that he's mulling over'and prioritising'a fresh approach. "It's difficult. I have to tell you,"he added. "Science fiction has caught up and is actually overwhelming us…...

1+ day, 20+ hour ago (439+ words) Marvel Studios kept us all on the edge of our seats back in March with a 4+ hour Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal video. There were plenty of exciting, surprising additions to the movie, including members of the X-Men, Namor the Submariner, and the Fantastic Four. However, there was also a long list of omissions. Deadpool, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and several key members of the X-Men were conspicuous by their absence, as were most of the MCU's original Avengers." The craze of flooding social media with fake AI leaks seems to have died a death in recent days, but a few can still be found doing the rounds. One such example can be seen below, and appears to reveal Hugh Jackman and Tobey Maguire on set together (sorry, it's not real)." Now, The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez has chimed in to say, "[Jackman…...

1+ day, 23+ hour ago (508+ words) December is here, and while Christmas is coming, we know most of you will be far more excited about the first Avengers: Doomsday trailer. While Disney and Marvel Studios'haven't officially announced'its release, reliable sources have suggested that the teaser will play in front of Avatar: Fire and Ash'this month. James Cameron's threequel will be December's biggest movie, and it's a Disney release (via 20th Century Studios), so this adds up. There's been some speculation about the Avengers: Doomsday teaser being a theater-exclusive, not dissimilar to what happened with our first look at The Odyssey. After all, how better to boost ticket sales in the next Avatar movie? Even if that's not the case, we wouldn't expect an online release until maybe a few days before December 19.' Well, unless it's heading our way sooner than expected! The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez, along…...

2+ day, 13+ hour ago (143+ words) A cosplayer put together what could be considered a prefect Batman suit, and it proves how well a comic-accurate suit for the Dark Knight could work on screen. On X, cosplayer@ParkerPeterPete posted a picture of himself in a Batman costume of his own creation, identical to the suit Bruce Wayne worein Batman: Year One: That's what Batman needs for future adaptation: A costume that embraces what originated it, but is given room for modifications to feel plausible in live-action.

What do you think about this Batman: Year One-inspired cosplay? What's been your favorite live-action Batman costume so far? Share your thoughts in the comments!...

3+ day, 21+ hour ago (532+ words) After much speculation, we may have confirmation that the two heroes will indeed appear in the next two'Avengers features. Forbes published a report regarding the unexpectedly high budget of 2024's Deadpool &'Wolverine. Buried deep within the article, the outlet seemed to'confirm'the return of the characters'for Doomsday and Secret Wars:' "Deadpool and Wolverine are also expected to star in the MCU's next two kid-friendly Avengers movies." In its report, Forbes'pulled several pieces of information from two other outlets'That Park Place and The Standard. However,'the bit'about Wolverine and Deadpool being part of Doomsday'and its follow-up'is only stated by Forbes, which could give'credence to the fact that the site unexpectedly revealed'previously unconfirmed reports. Having said that, it's also possible this may not be a confirmation of any kind. It could simply be that Forbes' statement stemmed from the various rumors regarding the…...

4+ day, 14+ hour ago (340+ words) Director Shawn Levy has been making the promotional rounds ahead of the long-awaited final season of Stranger Things, or at least Part One of it. Levy, who serves as an executive producer on the series, has directed episodes every season, including two in the batch that debuted just last night. But as big as the Stranger Things finale is, there's an equally exciting project on Levy's horizon: his upcoming Star Wars film. Levy has hinted before that the movie won't simply echo what's come before. Instead, he's aiming for something fresh, unexpected, and entirely his own within the galaxy far, far away." As such, Levy fielded questions about Star Wars: Starfighter and admitted that while the film is striving for originality, it does have a similar tone to one of the original trilogy films. Appearing on the"On Film'With Kevin…...

4+ day, 14+ hour ago (431+ words) Claudia Black is best known for her roles in Pitch Black, Farscape, and'Stargate SG-1, and she added to her sci-fi credentials in 2023 by travelling'to a Galaxy Far, Far Away in Ahsoka.' The actress played one of the three Great Mothers, Klothow, a group of Nightsisters who had allied with Grand Admiral Thrawn on Peridea and eventually made their way back to Dathomir. It appears Thrawn plans to use the power of the'Nightsisters to raise an undead army he can use to retake the Galaxy after the Empire's fall. Unfortunately, we've leaned that Black won't be back to continue'Klothow's story in Ahsoka Season 2. Talking to Bleeding Cool'(via SFFGazette.com),'Black was asked about the series and offered a "transparent" answer: she isn't coming back, because Disney and Lucasfilm weren't willing to pay her what she wanted or needed. "It was…...

4+ day, 15+ hour ago (311+ words) The final episode of Stranger Things season 5, Vol. 1 featured a character return that it's probably safe to say took most viewers completely by surprise. After fighting her way through the Upside Down with Hopper (David Harbour), Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) manages to break into Dr. Kay's (Linda Hamilton) lab, only to discover fellow psychic test-subject Kali, aka Eight (Linnea Berthelsen), who we haven't seen since 2. The character was introduced in the season 2 episode "The Lost Sister," and her three-episode arc is widely viewed as a low point of the series. "When Netflix [and series creators] Matt and Ross Duffer reached out about coming back as Kali, I was so intrigued to see where they wanted to take her," Berthelsen tells Entertainment Weekly. "I care about her so deeply, and making sure she'd be in great hands was important to me....

4+ day, 17+ hour ago (308+ words) Earlier this week,Disney+ Latin America officiallybeganpromoting Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday on social media by sharing an imageDoctor Doom alongside Franklin Richards from the mid-credits scene of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, with the caption: "The World is Getting Ready for a New Event." Now, we have a third image featuring Sam Wilsonpaying a visit to The Leader on The Raft in Captain America: Brave New World's divisive post-credits tag. These are, of course, the last three theatrically-released Marvel Studios projects, so it should go without saying that thestingers highlighted here will at least partially lay the groundwork for Doomsday. Victor Von Doom's debut and the Fantastic Four arriving to Earth 616 are obviously major events, butSamuel Stern's warning to Wilson is a little more ambiguous. The "others" Sterns is referring to are most likely Doom and whatever forces he's amassed,…...
