“Disney+’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law had its red (er, purple) carpet premiere this week in Hollywood, with lots of photo ops and interviews with the cast. One interview in particular is feeding the Marvel ‘Phase 6’ rumor mill. Did Mark Ruffalo leak that She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany) will be joining the Avengers?” Read more at The Mary Sue Even though Warner Bros. Discovery has canceled several DC projects, there are still some titles fans can get excited about!...

“Black Widow takes place between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War for Natasha Romanoff, which means we don’t know what characters from the movie survived the Snap and who went away for five years only to come back and have to figure out the lives they left behind. One of those characters is Yelena Belova, whose future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is slowly coming together.” Read more at The Mary Sue Snake Eyes star Henry Golding credits Call of Duty: Warzone for keeping him sane during the lockdown....

“Hawkeye may be the butt of most Marvel jokes, but Clint Barton is about the get the last laugh. Jeremy Renner’s upcoming show, Hawkeye, will apparently do the impossible by bringing one of the most popular villains from Netflix’s Marvel shows into the studio’s cinematic universe. That’s right, Hawkeye is about to make Wilson Fisk into MCU canon. This might sound like wild fan speculation, but there’s some legitimacy to this latest Marvel leak....

“Riverdale’s original idea of crazy was that Archie Andrews was sleeping with his teacher and Jason Blossom was very dead. Five seasons and a cult, several murders, some supernatural monsters, and two teachers randomly leaping out of the same damn window, anything goes—so at this point, the fact that a new trailer heralding a long-awaited crossover is so bananas should be unsurprising. And yet, reader. And yet.” Read more at Gizmodo A new LEGO set based on Spider-Man: No Way Home might clue us in on some of the film’s secrets....

“In only her second directorial feature, Olivia Wilde already has the prestige that every director craves, setting the internet in a frenzy after releasing an 11-second teaser for Don’t Worry Darling. Wilde has been a notable actress for most of her career, having starred in projects like House, Tron: Legacy, and Her.” Read more at Screen Rant Could we see this legendary variant of Thor appear in Thor: Love and Thunder?...

“For two hours you’re transported to different times and places in a matter of seconds. Decades of advancing technology have improved what we can do with filmmaking to the point where the magic tricks of today would look like science fiction to the directors of yesteryear. But sci-fi looks to the future. What will the coming decades of technological breakthroughs look like? How will humanity relate to new technology? And how far are we willing to go to achieve and exploit those breakthroughs?...

“A Kid in King Arthur’s Court, currently streaming on Disney+, is a hidden gem that whimsically merges sci-fi with fantasy. With a logline of ‘Joust do it,’ the film eagerly embraces its over-the-top absurdity. Borrowing liberally from Mark Twain’s 1889 novel A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, the 1995 film follows Calvin Fuller (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and his adventures in sixth-century Camelot.” Read more at Inverse. It’s important to support small businesses this holiday season more than ever....

Lost in Space Episode 6 Through five episodes of Lost in Space (representing half of its 10-episode first season), the show has done a wonderful job developing the Robinson family into sympathetic, interesting characters. John, Maureen, Judy, Penny, and Will are not necessarily complex nor do they frequently transcend past the science fiction adventure archetypes they inhabit. John is the strong dad, Maureen is the smart mom, Judy is the smart daughter, Penny’s the funny one, and Will is the wide-eyed innocent and therefore the closest the audience has to a representative on the show....

Lucifer Season 6 Episode 1 “Who wants to be tickled by Satan’s whiskers?” Six weeks have passed, and Lucifer prepares to ascend into Heaven and begin his dream job – master of the universe. But the Devil’s having second thoughts about taking on God’s responsibilities, and “Nothing Ever Changes Around Here” cleverly sets up Lucifer’s sixth and final season to potentially explore the often unspoken desires that drive each character. Though it was well documented that the season six episodes were completed and ready to air, conventional wisdom expected Netflix to wait much longer before releasing the series’ final ten episodes....

Lucifer Season 6 Episode 10 “I’m an angel, remember? I’ll see you on the other side.” There are endless avenues the Lucifer writing team could have taken with the series finale “Partners ‘Til the End,” but fans of the Netflix fantasy show are treated to an emotionally charged ride that finally places the characters exactly where they need to be whether in Heaven, Hell, or here on earth. Though the episode clearly centers on the circumstances behind Lucifer’s disappearance and the impact it eventually has on Chloe and Rory, all the characters receive wonderful, albeit brief, tributes that offer the satisfying endings each deserves....

Lucifer Season 6 Episode 6 “You may have just met me, but I’ve known you my whole life.” Some might say that “A Lot Dirtier Than That” comes across far too heavy handed in making its arguments about racial injustices involving the police, but sometimes it takes a sledge hammer to get people’s attention. Lucifer rarely engages in social commentary, but here it’s Amenadiel’s second brush with a bigoted detective that forces the angel to reevaluate his role as a black man working in law enforcement and puts on open display the challenges facing both the community and the men and women in blue....

It’s been nearly four years since London’s most morally dubious detective, DCI John Luther, last graced our screens. In January 2019, the fifth series of the BBC’s gritty crime drama premiered to much fanfare, with decent reviews and ratings success paving the way for a long-awaited, feature-length mystery for Idris Elba’s grizzled antihero. Since then, details of the Luther movie have been mainly classified, with only a few tidbits escaping....

When talking to the creators behind Netflix’s The Sandman series, there is one recurring pattern. They are all huge fans of the original comics, and when you ask how they came across those comics, the story is almost always the same. “I think I was in a comic shop in Preston and I think I was buying Swamp Thing or Hellblazer, one of the two. At that point, all the covers were being done by very similar artists, so they were all kept in the same place in the comic shop....

In director James Wan’s first horror movie in five years, Malignant, pregnant heroine Madison (Annabelle Wallis) is traumatized early on when her abusive husband (Jake Abel) is slaughtered in their Seattle home by a vicious yet ill-defined killer lurking in the shadows. Madison is further devastated when she learns that she’s lost her baby in the attack—apparently the fourth pregnancy that she has been unable to carry to term, with the earlier ones being three miscarriages....

From London working mum to Belfast gangster’s moll to international multi-millionaire in just three seasons. That’s some trajectory. Other TV detectives must look at Marcella Backland and ask, where’s my new alias and private plane? It’s not coming, Sarge, because unlike Marcella, your show insists on complying with the merest demands of naturalism and coherence. You plod on drearily in an approximation of the real world while Marcella does screaming naked cartwheels through story, Etch-a-Sketch erasing bits of plot, and leaping gazelle-like from one improbable thing to the next....

Now that the characters are set to receive their own film in Marvel’s Eternals, the 26th installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some fans can’t help but wonder: where have these powerful protectors been for the previous 25 movies? The MCU has been a pretty chaotic place thus far. Near the end of the franchise’s Infinity Saga, Thanos uses the Infinity Stones to wipe out half of all life in the universe....

Fans had already suspected that Hawkeye could be set around the holidays when the first official image from the series, featuring Hailee Steinfeld as aspiring superheroic archer Kate Bishop hanging out with former Avenger Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner). That image, seen above, included some prominently placed Christmas lights among the various trick arrows and targets scattered around a basement. Tranh’s remarks come from the latest issue of TV Guide, in which she sheds a little light on both the setting and flavor of the next MCU live action show....

Are you ready to ponder What If…? Some lucky people have already done so by getting early access to the first few episodes of Marvel’s upcoming animated series, and they’ve now taken to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the show before it debuts. Reactions for the latest Disney+ project are a little bit more mixed than the streamer’s live-action fare to date, but it looks like we’re in for a wile ride nonetheless....

Well…episode 4 makes that a little difficult. There is no world to expand upon. There is no future. Dr. Strange, driven by an obsession to save Christine Palmer’s life, goes way overboard and abuses time travel and magic to the point that reality collapses upon itself and all that remains is a guilt-ridden sorcerer left with nothing but consequences. Still, the events of the episode do suggest a deeper look....

Into those mad times, came a mad man with a box. In April 2010, Matt Smith made his debut as Doctor Who’s Eleventh Doctor, with new showrunner Steven Moffat in tow. There were cracks in the universe and Rory dying and Vincent Van Gogh and James Cordon and a Pandorica. The TARDIS exploded. A lot. Then just 24 hours after Eleven restored the universe in Series 5 finale ‘The Big Bang’, he also closed Glastonbury Festival....
