While box office projections are always a guessing game, general uncertainty caused by the spread of the coronavirus (and the subsequent closing of public events) is making the movie forecasting business even less predictable.

Back in 2013, Fantasy Island writer and director Jeff Wadlow was tasked with writing the script for an X-Force film trilogy. However, those plans fell by the wayside when Fox decided to release Deadpool instead. Seven years later, Wadlow is ready to share what he had planned for the trio of projects. In an interview with Comic […]
In an emotional post on Instagram, director and writer James Gunn has revealed that shooting on The Suicide Squad has wrapped. The DC Comics-based film, a follow-up to 2016’s Suicide Squad, saw Gunn come on board after he was unceremoniously ousted from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 by Disney. He was eventually rehired, but his commitments to The Suicide Squad pushed […]

When Sony and Disney came to an agreement this past September on jointly handling Spider-Man for the foreseeable future, their deal felt very much like both sides were merely putting a band-aid on their problem. Marvel chief creative officer Kevin Feige will return as a producer for the third film in the Spider-Man: Homecoming series, which is scheduled for a July 16, 2021 release, and Spidey will reportedly appear […]
In a revealing profile for the New York Times, Ben Affleck suggested that his decision to step down as Batman was due in part to concerns that he could possibly drink himself to death if he made another film as the Caped Crusader. Affleck, who is in early stages of his big screen comeback attempt as he promotes his aptly titled upcoming film The Way […]
Marvel Studios may have found its next Doctor Strange director. According to Variety, Sam Raimi is in talks to helm the franchise’s highly anticipated sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Raimi, who helmed the original Spider-Man film trilogy, would replace Scott Derrickson, who stepped down as director earlier this year due to “creative differences.” “Marvel Studios and Scott Derrickson have amicably […]
