Ryan Coogler Explains Missing Black Panther Character In Wakanda Forever

Although most of the Black Panther cast are back for more, the tragic passing of Boseman in 2020 means he’s unable to return for Wakanda Forever. It isn’t just events out of Coogler’s hands that mean characters aren’t suiting up for the war between the Wakandans and Talokan’s, because Daniel Kaluuya’s W’Kabi is also sitting this one out. Remembering back to Black Panther, W’Kabi was the Head of Security for the Border Tribe, boyfriend of Danai Gurira’s Okoye, and supposed best friend of T’Challa....

Shameless Season 11 Episode 7 Review Two At A Biker Bar One In The Lake

Shameless Season 11 Episode 7 “Why do you still all live together? You obviously hate each other.” A tenet of Shameless that’s defined the series even more than its Chicago setting or lower class social strata is that the dysfunctional Gallagher family all live together in one crowded house. There are nearly ten people living in the Gallagher household at any given time and these close quarters are metonymic of the love-hate relationship between the Gallaghers that’s at the core of the series....

She Hulk Just Made Another Hulk Canon

The green gloves were off in the She-Hulk finale, and after nine episodes of toxic masculinity, twerking with Megan Thee Stallion, and a lot of waiting for Charlie Cox’s Daredevil to arrive, it all culminated in this. October 13’s “Whose Show Is This?” delivered some of the wildest scenes to grace the MCU, but when we weren’t busy breaking the already broken fourth wall, we were canonizing forgotten Hulks. It’s easy to forget that there have been a lot of actors who’ve played the mean, green, fighting machine....

Smokey And The Bandit Tv Series Looks To Revive The Drive In Double Feature Genre

David Gordon Green (Halloween, The Righteous Gemstones) has been tapped to develop, write, executive-produce and direct the prospective pilot for a new small screen take on the Southern, car-chase-centric, antihero-hailing Universal film franchise on behalf of studio subsidiary UCP. Green will write alongside Brian Sides, a frequent collaborator, who also directs and produces documentary shows such as The Horn and Alaska: The Last Frontier. They’ll be joined by executive producers in Green’s cohorts from Rough House Pictures, notably Danny McBride, and Seth MacFarlane via his Fuzzy Door banner....

Star Trek Discovery Episodes 1 2 Review The Vulcan Hello And Battle At The Binary Stars

Star Trek: Discovery: Episodes 1 & 2 Handsomely produced, fast-paced and thematically empty, Star Trek: Discovery marks the return of the landmark sci-fi franchise to the small screen for the first time since Star Trek: Enterprise ended its run 12 years ago. Like that show, which was canceled after four seasons due to waning viewer interest, Discovery is a prequel, making it two series in a row now in which the supposedly futuristic series is looking back into its own past....

Star Trek How Dr Pulaski Helped The Next Generation Find Its Feet

If you’ve been watching Star Trek: Lower Decks, then you’ve probably noticed that Dr. T’Ana is clearly based on the notorious Dr. Pulaski from Star Trek: The Next Generation. It’s not that Gillian Vigman is trying to channel the performance of Diana Muldaur—because she’s clearly doing her own thing—so much as the entire vibe of Dr. T’Ana is as though our collective opinions about Dr. Pulaski were channeled into a cranky, sentient cat-alien....

Star Trek Why Doesn T Guinan Remember Picard

Star Trek: Picard season 2 has its fans and its detractors, delving into Picard’s personal history, Data’s ancestry, and Earth’s future history. But for a show that is so deeply rooted in Star Trek continuity, it has certainly thrown up some questions. Some of those questions can be simply put down to the show ignoring existing continuity – like Picard’s dad having hair when “Tapestry” showed his was an angry bald man....

Star Trek William Shatner Reveals The Secret To The Franchise S Success

In a discussion with the Times of London, Star Trek‘s first lead William Shatner revealed the reason the show’s legacy has endured. One might expect the famously confident actor to point to himself or at least his character Captain Kirk, who has also been played by Chris Pine in the J.J. Abrams reboot films and more recently by Paul Wesley on Strange New Worlds. But instead, Shatner offers a more simple and humble explanation....

Star Wars Leigh Brackett And The Empire Strikes Back You Never Saw

When Star Wars premiered in May 1977, the saga’s sequel could have gone either the low-budget or blockbuster route. Although we got the latter, there was already a plan in case the film wasn’t a huge hit. George Lucas hired Alan Dean Foster, who ghost-wrote the novelization of the first film, to write a relatively subdued sequel. That story eventually became the first Expanded Universe novel in the franchise’s history, Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, which sees Luke and Leia crash on a jungle planet and face off with Darth Vader in a race against time to find a mysterious gem called the Kaiburr crystal....

Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Hotel To Begin Taking Reservations This Year

While the House of Mouse hasn’t yet revealed how much it’ll cost to stay at the hotel located at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, the two-day, two-night all-immersive experience promises to take travelers “to a galaxy far, far away in a way that only Disney could create.” In a video accompanying the reservations announcement, Ann Morrow Johnson, executive producer for Walt Disney Imagineering, promises, “You’re going to be a part of a story, and live out your own Star Wars experience....

Star Wars Obi Wan Kenobi Why Darth Vader Was Chosen As The Villain Over Maul

But behind the scenes, depending on who you ask, this surprise, pre-A New Hope clash between Jedi Master and Dark Lord of the Sith was either always part of the plan or the result of a creative shake up that saw Joby Harold (Army of the Dead) replace Hossein Amini (Drive) as series writer. In March, THR reported that Amini’s scripts played out very differently to the six-episode miniseries that’s about to unfold on our TV screens in a few short weeks....

Stranger Things Season 3 Review Spoiler Free

Although the residents of Hawkins, Indiana show remarkable resilience in recovering from nearly annual monster attacks, Stranger Things season 3 shows no intention of slowing down or backing off. In fact, when the series returns to Netflix on July 4, 2019, it will capitalize on the various main characters’ ability to notice when things are amiss even when others might not be as suspicious. The Mind Flayer still has a strategy or two to hatch, and thanks to a new bit of help from our side of the breach, its presence will be felt very quickly and in fact will end up feeling much creepier than last season, evoking more of what gave season 1 its vintage 80s horror movie feel....

Stranger Things Season 4 The Significance Of The Hellfire Club

When we catch up with Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Erica in Stranger Things season 4 episode 1, it’s good to see that high school (or junior high, in Erica’s case) hasn’t dulled their enthusiasm for Dungeons & Dragons. But with Will now living across the country in California, they’ve had to find a new dungeon master, who they have in the charismatic, self-proclaimed “freak” Eddie Munson. Munson is an ‘80s metalhead, one who revels in the “satanic panic” that surrounds both his chosen music and his favorite hobby....

The CW series has finally come to an end and, after seven seasons, showrunner (and episode director) Jason Rothenberg has written a Battlestar Galactica-like ending that attempts to tie all the bloodshed that has come before up with a neat, tidy bow.

Eagle-eyed fans managed to snap a whole bunch of pictures when the cast, including Pattinson, Colin Farrell’s unrecognisable Penguin, and Catwoman star Zoë Kravitz, shot more footage for the funeral/memorial scene that we briefly saw in The Batman’s first trailer out of DC FanDome in August. Various pics have shown us a crowded scene full of mourners and Gotham police officers surrounding Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne during the shoot, in addition to a number of protesters holding up signs that say things like ‘lies, lies, lies,’ and ‘our day of judgement’....

The Best Episodes Of Community

Both series share the signature Harmon quality of complex, inventive storylines and surprising emotional depth. However, on Community, the real-world, live-action setting makes the ambitious plots more remarkable and the emotionality plucks at your heartstrings all the harder. Take it from Harmon himself, who just last year said Community was“the thing of which I am most proud of, forever and ever.” I would even perhaps go so far as to call Community the best live-action sitcom ever made, that is, had it ended after the third season....

The Boys Chris Evans Homelander Deepfake Has Internet Conflicted

Evans, who played Steve Rogers across three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has certainly been no stranger to playing against type in the past. Last year, we saw him as the murderous Ransom Drysdale in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, and he was almost unrecognisable as a mob hitman in 2012’s underrated crime drama, The Iceman, opposite Michael Shannon. And, hey, let’s take a beat to remember the man was a literal baby-eater in Snowpiercer, but when it comes to The Boys’ ultraviolent Homelander, the internet isn’t quite sure if Evans could pull it off....
