Emily Blunt Says Marvel Never Even Called Her About ‘Captain Marvel’
Despite all those rumors and her own interest in playing the part, Emily Blunt reveals that she never even received a phone call about ‘Captain Marvel.’
New ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Posters Unite the Universe (Except for Hawkeye)
At this point, you probably don’t need to be reminded that Avengers: Infinity War is Marvel’s biggest movie yet. With higher stakes comes a (much) higher number of MCU stars — the largest number to appear in a single MCU movie, which means the new character posters for Infinity War are stacked with all your faves…except for Hawkeye. Poor Hawk Guy.
‘The LEGO Movie 2’ Lands Tiffany Haddish for Lead Voice Role
The comedian and breakout star of Girls Trip is about to make the LEGO Movie sequel 10,000 times more awesome.
Tessa Thompson Reuniting With Chris Hemsworth for ‘Men in Black’ Spinoff
Here come the men (and women) in black. Okay, first things first: If Tessa Thompson doesn’t get to cover Will Smith’s OG Men in Black theme song for the end credits of this spinoff / reboot / whatever we’re calling it this time, I am going to be DISPLEASED. But in all honesty, turning this thing into a Thor: Ragnarok reunion just guaranteed a blockbuster hit — and we are, as the children say, here for it.
‘Action Point’ Trailer: Johnny Knoxville Brings His ‘Jackass’ Antics to a Theme Park
What would happen if you combined the Jackass crew and their usual collection of self-destructive shenanigans with a more conventional narrative feature? The first trailer for Action Point has your answer — with a little Bad Grandpa and a dash of “inspired by true events” thrown in for good measure.
‘Justice League’ Is Officially the Lowest-Grossing DCEU Movie
Four months after hitting theaters in the U.S., Justice League has ended its worldwide box office run as the lowest-grossing film in the DC Extended Universe franchise.
‘Isle of Dogs’ Review: Wes Anderson Made a Very Good Film About Such Very Good Boys
Wes Anderson is known for a lot of things: An idiosyncratic and detail-oriented style, masterful use of color, nice dress socks, keeping Bill Murray employed… and killing (fictional) dogs. In 2012, following the release of Moonrise Kingdom, a New Yorker piece asked, “Does Wes Anderson Hate Dogs?” Perhaps it’s no coincidence that his latest effort, a stop-motion adventure set in Japan, is called Isle of Dogs. When you say it out loud, it sounds like “I love dogs”; the title itself refutes the notion that Anderson has it out for man’s best friend.
Academy Investigating President John Bailey Over Sexual Harassment Claims
Almost every corner of Hollywood has been shaken by claims of sexual misconduct in the months since the New York Times first exposed decades of allegations against Harvey Weinstein — and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences is no exception. The organization has, like many others, taken strides to reconcile with sexual abuses in the film industry, but the latest allegations hit much closer home: Academy President John Bailey is reportedly under investigation for multiple claims of sexual harassment.
Ava DuVernay Will Direct DC’s ‘New Gods’ Superhero Epic
A Wrinkle in Time may not have performed nearly as well as Disney (and the rest of us) hoped, but it’s going to take a lot more than one blockbuster stumble and some negative reviews to keep major studios away from Ava DuVernay. In what is surely the best thing to happen to DC Films since hiring Patty Jenkins, DuVernay is in talks to tackle New Gods — a superhero epic that could launch a whole new franchise.
James Mangold Reunites With ‘Logan’ Writer for Corrupt Cop Flick ‘The Force’
With the Patty Hearst movie off the table, James Mangold is back on the directing market. Thankfully, it didn’t take long for the director of last year’s Logan to land on his next gig: The Force. Originally optioned as a potential directing vehicle for Ridley Scott, the corrupt cop drama — based on Don Winslow’s bestselling novel — will reunite Mangold with Logan writer Scott Frank.
