With Marvel’sWerewolf by Nightarriving on Disney+ October 7th, I recently got to speak withMichael Giacchinoabout directing his first MCU project. During the brief but informative interview, he talked about why he wanted to helmWerewolf by Night, how shooting in black and white allowed him to include more blood and guts, why they included cigarette burns (they’re the marks that appear every 20 minutes or so in the upper right corner of the frame to help with reel changes), why they built practical sets, and more....

WhenPeter BergandMark Wahlbergdecided to make a movie about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, many wondered if it was too soon, or even if it was a story that needed to be told. As someone that grew up near Boston and thought they knew what happened, I can tell you I’m glad they madePatriots Day. Not only is the film extremely respectful to the real life heroes and victims, the movie shows what really happened behind the scenes and highlights the importance of community and heroism....

Though it’s been said many times, many ways … this movie should be called Lando and be about Lando. Look at howDonald Gloverabsolutely steals the show in this newSoloclip below, completely upstagingAlden Ehrenreich’s Han with this silky smooth introduction. “Everything you’ve heard about me is true,” he says. We’ve heard it in the trailers, but it never gets old. Charisma, folks! If you want to see more Lando before the movie official opens, you can check out Glover’s greatSNL skitthat shows Lando leading a conference for black humans in space … of which there are four....

They won’t say it, so we will: a very happy “wubba lubba dub dub” to you, because Adult Swim just released a new trailer for the hotly anticipated Season 6 ofRick and Mortyjust a month ahead of the season premiere. The new trailer gives us a glimpse into the cosmic mess of the new season, including all of the Sanchez/Smith family drama, which will premiere on Adult Swim on September 4....

With the release ofShadow and Boneon Netflix, fans the world-over are being introduced to the Grishaverse – and with it a lot of new terminology and characters with which they may be unfamiliar. A major component ofShadow and Boneis the Shadow Fold, which serves as an antagonistic object of sorts that drives a lot of the plot through the first season of the series. The show is based on a trilogy of books by authorLeigh Bardugo, so there are answers there for those who have read them, but for those being introduced toShadow and Bonefor the first time, the Shadow Fold may come off as a little, well, confusing....

Green Lantern Corpscould still be a ways off, but there is movement on it. Back in January,we reportedthat the studio had hiredDavid Goyer(Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) andJustin Rhodesto pen the screenplay with the pitch being a “Lethal Weaponmovie in outer space.” The idea would be to have the story focus on Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart, and it’s not a bad pitch, especially if you want to create some distance from 2011’sGreen Lanternand start fresh rather than simply take a second stab at the superhero....

There was a time when theMCUwas devoid of strong female stories. Back in Phases 1 and 2, women were relegated to stereotypes like helpless romantic interest (Jane Foster, Pepper Potts) and one-dimensional sidekick (Lady Sif, Maria Hill). Thankfully, theKevin Feige-led franchise has firmly committed to expanding representation in its films and TV series. RELATED:The Best Episodes of ‘Agent Carter’ If that “A-Team Assemble” shot inAvengers:Endgameis any indication, powerful arcs about women are fast becoming the norm, rather than the exception....

It’s difficult to think about a season-to-season letdown in the same vein as what most fans experienced between the first and second season of HBO’sTrue Detective. Sure, some people didn’t likeFargo’s second season as much as its first, but on the whole, everyone seemed to be on board for whatNoah Hawleywas doing. The same might be said ofHannibal,Orange is the New Black, or evenDaredevil, but all of those were continuing a larger narrative rather than exploring new vistas....
