Whereas Disney/Pixar’s 2006 animated film Cars is generally considered something of a minor entry in the animation studio’s larger filmography (if also a solid family-friendly cartoon feature in its own right), most filmgoers seem to agree that the sequel Cars 2 is Pixar’s weakest movie released to date. Pixar’s own Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter has defended the Cars sequel in the past, nonetheless, while other moviegoers have argued that Cars 2 isn’t necessarily a bad film in the grand scheme of kid-friendly entertainment; it’s just not up to Pixar’s usual quality standard....

Henry Cavill reveals he would have done something different with his facial hair in Mission: Impossible - Fallout if he knew about the Justice League reshoots beforehand. As many know by now, the actor grew a rather infamous mustache for his role in Christopher McQuarrie’s action sequel, which was in the midst of principal photography when Justice League was getting revamped under the watch of Joss Whedon. Cavill, of course, was required to do additional filming as Superman, but was unable to shave the mustache due to his contract with Paramount....

CBS and Viacom are set to reunite. Mergers in Hollywood are nothing new. The biggest one lately was Disney buying all of 21st Century Fox’s entertainment properties. Mergers can be positive in a licensing sense, as things can now happen that were previously impossible (like the X-Men sharing a screen with the Avengers, for example). On the other hand, a merger means one less place for things to get pitched and picked up....

Apple isn’t at CES once again this year and as per usual Cupertino’s shadow looms above the giant US trade show, where it seems competitors, including Microsoft, intend introducing their own iPad competitors, even as we learn that existing Android tablets may never get a software upgrade. Some highlights: DisplaySearch analyst Richard Semenza estimates that a hundred different tablets are in development, though not all of them will ship. “For the next year or two, we expect there to be a lot of false starts, failed attempts, and disasters,” Richard Shim, another DisplaySearch analyst, said in a blog post....

Producer Charles Roven admits that overseeing the entire lineup of DC Films in development is just too much to handle for one person. Despite not taking off the way it was expected to, the Warner Bros.’ superhero franchise continues to march forward with a new batch of movies supposedly in the lineup. While there are currently only three films (Aquaman, Shazam! and Wonder Woman 2) with confirmed release dates, there is a slate of projects that are in several stages of development that are just waiting for their respective turn on the spotlight....

DC’s superhero event of the year, Batman V Superman, has landed in theaters with mixed results – although pleasing to a number of fans. Now, comic book fanatics are looking forward to the next big screen superhero battle royal. Captain America: Civil War ups the ante for superhero conflict, dividing the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) over the Sokovia Accords. Disney and Marvel are gearing up for Civil War’s red carpet premiere in Hollywood on April 13 and its early May release, which will include a few surprise additions to the official Civil War cast....

In the Captain Marvel trailer, we see Captain Marvel beating up an elderly woman on the train. Now, Carol Danvers doesn’t make a sport out of hitting ladies for the fun of it – she’s attacking the woman because she’s a Skrull. Skrulls are green, shape-shifting extraterrestrials from the Andromeda Galaxy that have come to infiltrate, colonize, and conquer Earth. They will be the main antagonists of Captain Marvel and will be extremely hard to sniff out....

Captain Marvel has received the Wonder Woman 1984 treatment, but with a 1990s twist in some newly released fan-art. Directed by the partnership of Half Nelson’s Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the blockbuster starring Brie Larson in the title role isn’t due to hit screens until 2019. But that hasn’t stopped some fans from already humorously envisioning how that might look. It’s no secret that Captain Marvel will be set in the early-’90s, which was even hinted at in the post-credit scene of Infinity War....

A report today says that Apple is ahead of most large companies in tackling a form of discrimination which originates in India but has affected employee recruitment in Silicon Valley: the caste system. Although the caste system is in part reflected in attitudes to skin color, discrimination on the basis of caste is not made explicitly illegal by current US law … The caste system While we’d normally open a piece like this with a succinct definition, that is virtually impossible in this case....

Captain Marvel has flown higher, further, and faster towards breaking its box office expectations than many thought it would. With so much expectation and criticism mounting, the pressure was on for the film to get Carol Danvers right. The Brie Larson version presented to audiences managed to feel like a faithful rendition of Carol Danvers’ comic origins. At the same time, the studio definitely took liberties in changing aspects of the character’s story....

Brie Larson explains why she wasn’t quick to jump on the opportunity to board the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Captain Marvel, saying she was afraid it was going to “feel like a burden.” Set to debut as Carol Danvers in next year’s Captain Marvel, the Oscar-winner has been busy filming the Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck-directed movie. But while she seems to be enjoying the whole process of becoming the first female headlining hero of the MCU, Larson had serious reservations that the gig would hinder her from doing other things career-wise....

The Los Angeles-based hospital Cedars-Sinai has today announced a new Apple Watch app that makes it easier for patients to quickly locate doctors and find nearby clinics. The app works in conjunction with the hospital’s iPhone app and focuses mainly on helping users quickly find nearby hospital and urgent care locations. Users can get maps and directions directly from the Watch app, while they can also place calls right from their wrist as well....

Today Canva is releasing Whiteboards, a new way for people to collaborate together. Whether you’re workshopping projects or brainstorming, Canva Whiteboards plans to make it easy to collaborate with your team whether you’re on the Mac, iPhone, or iPad. Canva Whiteboards works similarly to what Apple has in mind with Freeform, an iPadOS 16/macOS 13 Ventura feature that is set to be available later this year. Apple calls Freeform’s canvas the perfect tool for “diagramming new projects, aggregating important assets, or just brainstorming on a board limited only by your imagination,” thanks to real‑time collaboration....

The big MCU battle in Captain America: Civil War is now only a month away. Fans have been slowly getting a better idea of the story and alternate sides of the superhero conflict through trailers, posters, behind-the-scenes videos, and interviews with the cast. The trick for Marvel has been to build enough hype for the movie without giving too much away; how successful they’ve been depends on your tolerance level for spoilers....

Captain Marvel is set to join the rest of the MCU and, being Marvel’s most powerful hero, she could be the game-changer in Avengers: Endgame. Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers has yet to debut on the big screen, but fans are already counting on her to help the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes take down Thanos (Josh Brolin). Captain Marvel will be entering the fold after Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) sent her a message before disintegrating into dust in the post-credit scene of Avengers: Infinity War....

Jude Law has been cast to play a role in the upcoming Captain Marvel film, but he won’t confirm or deny whether that role is Mar-Vell. Captain Marvel was announced way back in 2013, and we learned that Brie Larson would play the eponymous Captain Marvel at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con. Filming began in January 2018, and the movie is scheduled to be released in March 2019. The film will be directed by Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, in what will be their first collaboration with Marvel Studios....

Thanos and Carnage are formidable foes on their own, so the two of them fusing together to fight Venom in the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Mission Breakout series was always going to be a tough battle. Venom is one of Spider-Man’s most recognizable villains, but he a tough journey to big-screen stardom. One of the earliest attempts was a 1997 project that apparently would have seen Dolph Lundgren play the title character, with David S....
