The figure is based onKung Lao’s appearance in theMortal Kombatvideo gamefranchise instead ofMax Huang’s portrayal of the character in the 2021 film, a role that he will reprise in thesequel coming to theaters later this year....

One of my favorite films at last year’s Sundance Film Festival was directorJonas Åkerlund’sLords of Chaos. I walked into the Sundance screening knowing very little about the film, other than it was based on a true story about the Black Metal scene in Oslo, Norway in the 1980s. About two hours later, I came out extremely impressed by the performances, direction, and the film on the whole. Unlike some movies that feel like they are taking liberty with the people involved in the story and creating drama just for the sake of high stakes, Åkerlund’s direction makes you feel like you are in the room watching the events unfold in real time....

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The “Wasp” part of the titleAnt-Man and The Wasp: Quantumaniais slightly misleading considering that Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lily) is mostly sidelined in the adventure. The film actually spends more time withMichelle Pfeiffer’s Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp that went on missions with her husband, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), the original Ant-Man. This installment in theAnt-Mansaga is definitely a family affair that brings in an older Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), whose skills in Quantum research now rival her father Scott’s (Paul Rudd)....

You’d be forgiven for doing some big double-takes as you scroll through the first images of all the key players, which are available below.

WithCars 3opening in North America this weekend, I recently sat down withOwen Wilsonfor an exclusive video interview. He revealed why he never sits through the movie at the premiere, when he found out Pixar wanted to make a 3rdCars movie, which Cars movie went through the biggest changes in the recording process, what people would be surprised to learn about the recording process, and a lot more. If you haven’t seenany of the trailers,Cars 3is about Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) being pushed out of the sport he loves by a new generation of drivers and what he does to try and return to being a champion....

A new trailer has arrived forPacific Rim Uprising, Legendary and Universal’s upcoming sequel starringJohn Boyegaas Jake Pentecost. A couple things are startlingly clear from this new video: Gone are the weighty, ponderous, and practical creations ofGuillermo del Toro’s imagination in the original film, replaced by much more dynamic, colorful, and improbably nimble Jaegers. Also absent is the sense of doom and gloom, the impending annihilation that was present in the first film and embodied in the slow, methodical movements of that generation’s best hope for humanity....

While Collider has hosted a number of cool screenings over the past few years, the one we did last week at IMAX HQ might be the top of the list. That’s because after showingStar Wars: The Last JediinIMAX, I got to sit down with writer-directorRian Johnsonfor an almost 70-minute interview where he spoke in-depth about the making of the movie. Not only did he discuss everything from the writing process to deleted scenes, he also answered a number of questions from the fans in attendance, like where he got the inspiration for Rose’s necklace and why Captain Phasma “got the Boba Fett treatment....

Editor’s note: The below article contains spoilers for Episode 7 of Severance. Apple TV+’sSeveranceis inarguably one of the strangest series airing at the moment. The show centers on a group of employees who agree to allow the company they work for, Lumon, to sever their memories so that they are able to separate their work and personal life. This allows two versions of themselves to exist — but as the seventh episode of the series reveals, it also doesn’t stop the two worlds from colliding in the way Lumon would have wanted....

Disney has released nine new characters posters forSolo: A Star Wars Story.Ron Howard’s upcoming film follows the origin of Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) as he teams up with a crew to pull off a heist. These character posters help highlight some of the supporting characters like Val, Rio, and Dryden, but I’m a bit dismayed we don’t get an actor name for Chewbacca.Joonas Suotamois now the man in the Chewbacca suit, so why doesn’t he get his credit?...
