Filming is now underway on Captain Marvel, which has been confirmed by a new set video. Marvel Studios is nearing the end of their Phase 3 release slate with the highly-anticipated Avengers: Infinity War hitting theaters next month, which marks the beginning of the end of the MCU’s first saga. But it’s not over yet. After Black Panther, Avengers 3 and Ant-Man and The Wasp are the only other MCU movies on the way in 2018....
Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Castle Rock - Though Bill Skarsgård plays a vital role in the Hulu Original Castle Rock, his character is a mystery. Having spent thirty years locked away in a cage beneath the infamous Shawshank State Prison, the gaunt and mostly-mute prisoner isn’t just a potential legal and media nightmare, but an omen for wicked things to come in Stephen King’s fictional doomed hamlet (whether inadvertently or not)....
Actress Cate Blanchett, who played villain Hela in Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok, reveals she loved Captain Marvel more than her own Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Last year, Marvel Studios marked 10 years of the MCU with such massive releases as Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther, the latter of which was the franchise’s first movie with a black lead. Additionally, the studio released Ant-Man and the Wasp, which was the first MCU movie to have a female hero in the title, while this year’s Captain Marvel was the first female-led solo film....
If there’s been one abundantly clear thing about Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) since the first trailer dropped, it’s that this film is playing by its own rules. Everything from the aesthetic to the soundtrack sets it apart from earlier entries to the DCEU, including the film that first introduced Harley Quinn, Suicide Squad. Much of the unique feel of the production is due to Cathy Yan’s vision for Gotham and the characters who inhabit it....
A new VR experience called Alien: Descent will be coming be to a Southern California mall on April 26. While Alien is an iconic movie franchise, it’s had a robust shelf life in other mediums too, including video games, comic books, novels and toys. These spinoff titles get to explore other aspects of the universe and play around with the mythology of the series in unique ways. There have been a number of great games based on the series over the years, including Alien: Isolation, Alien Trilogy and 1999’s Alien Vs Predator....
Much like her twin brother and lover, Cersei’s journey through the Game Of Thrones is the journey of a hateful woman. And much like her paramour, Cersei, time and time again, chooses love over duty. Her love of her children, her love for Jaime, these feelings mean more to Cersei than anyone or anything in all of Westeros. While Cersei remains one of the most cunning and powerful characters throughout the entire Game Of Thrones, she also has one major redeeming factor....
The countdown is on. In less than two weeks, Captain America: Civil War arrives in theaters, turning friends into enemies and threatening to tear the MCU apart. And as we get closer to the main event, the slow trickle of promos and posters is fast increasing, including a featurette which gives fans and general audiences a rundown on the issues involved in the Sokovia Accords. The film version of the Superhero Registration Act will lead to the rift between members of the Avengers, which will force even latecomer Spider-Man to choose sides....
Captain Marvel is already getting review bombed on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the next film on the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s docket will officially introduce Brie Larson as Carol Danvers - the franchise’s first female headlining hero who happens to also be the most powerful one. Teased in the post-credits scene for Avengers: Infinity War, the upcoming movie will serve as the character’s origin story. Taking place in 1995, the film will predate the events of Iron Man, which kicked off the franchise in 2008....
Marvel Studios is consciously building Captain Marvel differently to help it stand out among the standard origin movie formula. Over the past 10 years, Marvel has made several origin movies to help audiences get acquainted with some of their biggest heroes. Iron Man kicked off a run of them in Phase 1, with Phase 2 and Phase 3 both featuring their fair share of origin stories as well. In each instance, the studio tried to do something to change it up, whether that is in the film’s genre, tone, or even what types of characters are leading them....
Fast forward to today, esports is no laughing matter. It’s one of the fastest growing industries worldwide, with an audience of over 500 million viewers and revenue expected to hit $1.1 billion by the end of 2020. By 2023, it’s estimated that 15.5% of internet users will be watching esports events at least once a month. Esports is also a lucrative career for professional gamers and teams; in 2019, the prize pool for The International 9: Dota 2 championship was $33 million....
In March, Mercedes-Benz said that it had plans to offer aftermarket CarPlay units by the end of 2014. As noticed by MacRumors, a Nikkei report from Saturday reveals that car electronics manufacturer Alpine has similar plans. Alpine will begin selling a standalone car console that integrates CarPlay in the fall. Although many car manufacturers are going to offer CarPlay-equipped cars in their new ranges very soon, Alpine will be the first company to sell an independent CarPlay unit, that can be installed on current cars....
The upcoming TV adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House has just found its female lead in the shape of Sin City actress Carla Gugino. Filmmaker Mike Flanagan (Oculus) has been working on the Netflix show and had already announced the male lead, and now the latest addition to the cast has been revealed. The series was first announced in April and was seen as being another significant step forward for more original genre content on Netflix after having notable successes with the likes of Hemlock Grove, Black Mirror, and especially Stranger Things....
Carrie Fisher’s family still does not know Lucasfilm’s plan for General Leia Organa in Star Wars: Episode IX. With The Force Awakens being Han Solo’s sendoff and The Last Jedi closing the book on Luke Skywalker’s story, Leia was supposed to have a significant role in the sequel trilogy finale as she led the Resistance against the First Order. Unfortunately, that all changed when Fisher passed away in December 2016. Lucasfilm revealed they started from scratch after the actress’ death, and the film has only gone through more revisions since then with J....

Captain America: Civil War might not be an Avengers movie, but it does feature more Avengers in one place than we’ve ever seen before in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unfortunately, they’re not getting on very well with one another. The second entry from Captain America: The Winter Soldier directors Anthony and Joe Russo sees the superhero team divided over the issue of whether or not they should be free to battle bad guys as soon as they appear, or whether they should wait for permission from the United Nations - and be willing to stand down if that permission isn’t granted....
An official Disney website has finally confirmed that Captain Marvel is set in 1995. Until now, it had only been confirmed that this film was set in the 1990s; this gives a first concrete sense of where Captain Marvel should be placed in the MCU timeline. Marvel’s Phase 3 has taken place completely out of sequence; Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is set in 2014, and both Black Panther and Spider-Man: Homecoming are based in the immediate aftermath of Captain America: Civil War....
Last week we saw watch accessory maker Clockwork Synergy release a Pride version of its NATO Apple Watch band, inspired by the limited-edition band Apple gave to employees in the San Francisco Pride Parade. Now, accessory company Casetify has released a collection of Apple Watch bands that sport the respective flags of two countries competing in the Olympics. Casetify’s offering comes as Apple is selling national color-inspired bands itself, but only in Brazil....

Sure, theft is commonplace at the supercenter, but police said this woman has stolen roughly 100—or $57,000 worth of— iOS tablets. According to ABC News’ Dallas-Fort Worth affiliate, WFAA: The video above shows how the Wally World thefts occur. The woman allegedly hit 36 cities in Texas, including 28 Wal-Mart stores and eight Targets....
Sony has moved its Charlie’s Angels reboot back to avoid opening on the same day as Paramount’s Terminator: Dark Fate. The Charlie’s Angels brand kicked off with the original TV series in 1976, and revolves around a team of female super-detectives who report to their enigmatic boss, Charlie Townsend. The Terminator, meanwhile, got started in 1984 with James Cameron’s sci-fi action-thriller of the same name. The Terminator and Charlie’s Angels franchises have seen their ups and downs over the years, to put it mildly....
It’s hardly surprising that merchandising and filmmaking go hand in hand – George Lucas was something of a trendsetter back in 1976 when he had the foresight to ask that he retain all merchandising rights associated with Star Wars. 20th Century Fox happily agreed to this request, unaware of what a colossal boon either Star Wars or any of the related merchandising would be. Since that time, studios have taken note....
