This almost nihilistic darkness can best be seen in the original Marvel Zombies series, where hope is dead, and the few humans left are far from heroes.

The Adam Project is currently filming in Vancouver, and it already has distribution set up via Netflix.

The Mandalorian‘s season 2 episode, “The Jedi” makes the moment when Baby Yoda eats the Frog Lady‘s eggs awful once again.

By the time Josh Boone’s The New Mutants arrived in theaters this past August, morale surrounding the release wasn’t exactly high. The film had seen its release date pushed a ridiculous number of times (admittedly sometimes due to factors that had nothing to do with the production), and it didn’t exactly inspire confidence that 20th

The answer behind the mystery of Rick and Morty‘s infamous talking cat is apparently that there is no mystery, according to Dan Harmon.

The PlayStation 5’s design has been called many things, but it’s certainly bold. Its huge size and curved, white fins make it stand out in any gaming setup, for better or worse. Fans looking to make the PS5 a bit more subtle – or, in some cases, even more unique – have resorted to customizing their

Germany has extended its partial coronavirus lockdown until at least December 20, meaning cinemas in the European major will not resume operations before that date.

As Ludacris noted, while he made his Fast & Furious debut in 2003’s 2 Fast 2 Furious, it wasn’t until 2011’s Fast Five that he became a regular player in the franchise, with Tej Parker filling the role of mechanic and tech guy. Assuming Tej isn’t killed off in F9 or Fast & Furious 10,

Scream 5 directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett took inspiration from original Scream director Wes Craven for how violence is portrayed in the sequel movie.

The Runner-Ups Of all the races, The Human Torch race was most definitely the closest, and considering the talent that was nominated, it’s not surprising. Between Moonlight, When They See Us and Mr. Mercedes, Jharrel Jerome has shown some tremendous acting chops. Given his star power, Zac Efron is inevitably going to get a superhero

Warning: spoilers for Captain America #25! Few heroes embody the spirit of patriotism quite like Captain America.
