In preparation for his role in next year’s The Eternals, Kumail Nanjiani has gone the route of oh so many onscreen Marvel heroes before him — from Hugh Jackman to Ryan Reynolds to the Chrises Pratt and Hemsworth — by getting cut the fuck up so that he looks believable as a comic book character. As you […]
Well—SPOILERS FOR WATCHMEN SEASON 1 OBVIOUSLY FOLLOW—it’s all over. The mustache-twirling MAGA bad guys are vapor (or, in Not Great Bob’s case, ooze) but so is Doctor Manhattan. All relationships end in tragedy, after all. Will Reeves got his revenge, Adrian Veidt got his comeuppance. And what did Angela Abar get? Well, the finale inevitably cuts to […]
In his profile for Time Businessperson of the Year, Disney CEO Bob Iger revisited previous remarks he made about Martin Scorsese in response to the 77-year-old filmmaker’s criticism of Marvel movies. “If Marty Scorsese wants to be in the business of taking artistic risk, all power to him,” Iger said. “It doesn’t mean that what we’re doing isn’t art.” While Iger was […]

The team-up movie between Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg was released in the fall of […]
Today is the 66th birthday of Alan Moore. So what better way to celebrate than to unearth an interview from three years ago where Moore, the co-creator of Watchmen and writer behind Batman: The Killing Joke, criticized the public fascination with superheroes with such vitriol that it makes Martin Scorsese‘s remark about the Marvel movies not being “cinema” look light-hearted. “I […]
Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors behind Avengers: Endgame, the highest-grossing film of all-time, aren’t trying to get into a debate over the true meaning of the word “cinema” with Martin Scorsese. “But, at the end of the day, what do we know?” Joe jokingly told The Hollywood Reporter. “We’re just two guys from Cleveland, Ohio, and ‘cinema’ […]
Chris Evans departed the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Avengers: Endgame, which saw a number of cast members say goodbye to their respective roles. Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow was among those to die during the events of the film, but she’s already got her eponymous standalone prequel on the way. Evans, however, wrapped up the arc of […]
About a month ago, Martin Scorsese made comments that seemed pretty innocuous at the time, but have since kicked off a flurry of rebuttals (and some agreements) from prominent Hollywood names, including: Jordan Peele, Francis Ford Coppola, and Jon Favreau, just to name a few.
