Now thatSpider-Man: No Way Homehas made us nostalgic for the earlier Spider-Man films, it’s worth taking a look back at the movies that built up to themost iconic team-up moment in Spider-Man’s cinematic history. Sam Raimi’sSpider-Manfilms played a big part in the early success of superhero movies taking over the box office landscape. SinceSpider-Man, dozens of superhero movies and television shows have followed, many with huge successes of their own. They showed film studios that these comic-book characters could highly engage with millions of movie-goers all over the world....

WhileThe Hobbit Trilogywas certainly a financial success for director Peter Jackson and Warner Bros., a majority of movie-goers had at least some problem with theLord of the Ringsprequels. The movies were certainly fun and full of incredible visual effects, yet they never truly lived up to par with the original Middle Earth trilogy. The prequel series followed hobbit Bilbo Baggins as he went on a quest alongside the wizard Gandalf the Grey and twelve dwarves as they sought to retake an old dwarven mountain, and the treasure inside....

When Baz Luhrmann’sElvisbiopic hit theaters last year, many were quick to praise Austin Butler’s incredible performance as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll and question Tom Hanks’s questionable accent for the Colonel. While the film gave audiences a look into the personal life of Elvis at breakneck speeds, there was one looming, dark shadow that shrouded his love life, which the film chose to ignore… his problematic relationship with Priscilla Presley....

APlayStation-exclusive game seriesis getting a feature-length adaptation. On the surface, it’s about a post-pandemic United States, now swarming with infected humans that consume the flesh of others. At its core, however, it’s a story about personal and emotional growth for a rugged man with a gray morality, bouncing back and forth between doing what is essential for survival and what is best for others. It’s also notThe Last of Us....

Huge box office blockbusters typically don’t fare well when awards season comes around, but there are always exceptions.Titanictook home 11 Oscars, includingBest Picture, while it was on its way to becoming the biggest box office smash of all time, but that movie is more the exception than the rule. Now thatStar Wars: The Force Awakenshas become the biggest domestic movie of all time, with $819.6 million and counting, many were wondering how this blockbuster would fare when the Oscar nominations were announced earlier today....

Jared Leto was so disappointed inSuicide Squadand his squandered screen time that it looked unlikely that he’d be back forSuicide Squad 2. That movie was just put on the back burner in favor ofGotham City Sirens, which teams Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn with other iconic DC villains such as Catwoman and Poison Ivy. Now the question becomes, will Jared Leto return for this female-only endeavor that pretty much guarantees he’ll once again be relegated to nothing more than an extended cameo?...

The first trailer forStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderis here.Star Wars Celebrationis currently taking place in Chicago. It’s been a couple of years since the gathering honoring everything related to a galaxy far, far away actually took place. But this year Disney and Lucasfilm had an awful lot to showcase and, outside of the movies, TV shows and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, this is probably the most high-profile thing coming our way this weekend....

It’s probably safe to say thatJimmy Kimmelis no fan ofElon Muskor Donald Trump and how the bloviating billionaires are currently running (into the ground) the government of the United States. And in a blistering takedown of the head of DOGE in his opening monologue on Thursday night’s episode ofJimmy Kimmel Live!(one of many this season), the host went so far as to compare the man who bought Tesla and X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) to video-game character Pac-Man....

John Cena says to “give peace a f#cking chance” in the new poster forPeacemaker, a spinoff series to James Gunn’s latest movieThe Suicide Squad. Set to debut on HBO Max in January, the series brings back Cena as the titular supervillain who thinks of himself as a patriotic superhero. Ahead of new footage arriving at DC FanDome this month, Cena and HBO Max provided another sneak peek with the character front and center on his red-and-white car....

Ready your salt server, because certain sources have started to suggest that Marvel is looking to bring backThe Punisher, with the studio reportedly wanting the part of the merciless vigilante to be played once again by Jon Bernthal. These sources are claiming that there is a “new Punisher project in the works with the same actor from Netflix,” though any other details remain suspiciously scarce at this time. It is not known whether this alleged project would be for the big or small screen, but interestingly it sounds likeThe Punisherwould be getting his own, standalone outing, rather than the character being folded into someone else’s story....

The last few weeks have been pretty bizarre for followers of KFC’s social media accounts. At the end of June, the accounts starting posting about the soap operaGeneral Hospitalexclusively, recapping episodes. As it turns out, it was all a clever (and head scratching) media stunt to promote National Fried Chicken Day with a guest appearance by George Hamilton as Colonel Sanders on the daytime show. Not only did the Colonel make a special appearance onGeneral Hospital, but he also revealed some new skillsets that we were unfamiliar with....

Along with a glance at the principal cast members ofEternals, the promotional material also offers a short synopsis for the movie.' “The eternals are a species of immortal aliens from a distant planet who arrived on earth thousands of years ago....
