Whether we like it or not, we’re going to get a solo Venom movie later this year. It will be produced by Sony, and, well, their track record isn’t great to say the least. However, judging by its teaser, Tom Hardy as Venom/Eddie Brock has the sensitive lone wolf thing down to a science by now. Also, Michelle Williams, who is presumably playing Eddie Brock’s ex-wife, is one of the finest actresses today....
As Disney and Pixar continue to dominate the animation field, audiences often forget that other studios make animated movies too! Yes, historically speaking, Disney and Pixar have been the most consistent producers of high quality animation, but that doesn’t diminish the impact or fun of other great stories or characters. Here are the 15 Most Overlooked Animated Movies. 15. Race for Your Life Charlie Brown The Peanuts comic strip gang have an iconic status that rivals any Disney character, and their newspaper mini-adventures remain in print long after their first run and the death of their famed creator, Charles Schultz....
Marvel and Disney have made big strides in media with all their enjoyable comic book creations. Though their movies are the largest hits, they’ve done great work with televised and streamed series. Since Avengers’ Agent Coulson moved to the small screen to spearhead Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel shows have made big waves. Since then, Netflix has created The Defenders series, Inhumans crashed and burned, and Cloak & Dagger delighted fans. With the recent cancellation of almost all Netflix Marvel shows, though, fans have buzzed with concern about their favorite superhero shows; after all, the Netflix heroes were some of the most popular....

These days, Hollywood is infamous for its steady stream of reboots that are released each year. Reboots are filmmakers’ attempts at tackling an often once-popular franchise or series and trying to remake them for modern-day audiences. With the constant barrage of sequels, remakes, and reboots that Hollywood sends audiences’ ways in recent times, it’s easy for modern viewers to feel overwhelmed and oversaturated by movies that aren’t entirely original. However, this doesn’t mean reboots should be disregarded and ignored at all costs....

I first stumbled across Screen Rant in the spring of 2008 - at that oh so happy time of mass recession, in which I had the added good fortune of being a graduate student studying writing, of all non-money-making things. I had been working as a part-time film blogger and editor for a startup site that was promptly dumped when the recession hit (R.I.P. Critics Rant); I stumbled across Screenrant.com through a random link while hunting for new work, and liked the site’s aesthetic - particularly its use of dark background and white text (a departure from the norm)....
Last summer’s Ant-Man was another successful entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, thanks in part to the comic edge added to the script by Adam McKay. The writer is in talks to contribute once again to the announced sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp, set to hit theaters on July 6, 2018. In the first film, Evangeline Lilly’s character Hope van Dyne trained Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) to fight and fully utilize all of the power of the size-changing Ant-Man suit, but she never got to don that hero costume herself....
Yo-Yo finally achieves her comic book look in a new image for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ABC’s (now) lone Marvel series received a major overhaul for season 5. The team went to the future and space, but are now attempting to settle back into their previously “normal” lives. The trip back to the present came with new knowledge: the earth is going to be destroyed. While Quake (Chloe Bennet) was believed to be the culprit, no one truly knows what will happen....

We all somehow want more of Fleabag and also think that the ending of season two was perfect, no season three necessary. But if you’re looking for an excuse to rewatch seasons one and tow (not that we think you need one), here are some small–but important!–details you can go back and look f0r. The Newspaper Advertisement In the very first episode of Fleabag, we see our anti-heroine sitting on a bus reading a newspaper....
If you dig into the long history of DC Comics, you might just find that more characters have worn Batman’s cape and cowl than those who haven’t. OK, that’s an exaggeration. But not by much. Whether standing in for an ailing or missing (or dead) Bruce Wayne, or succeeding him in storylines set in the future, there are many men (and yes, women) who have called themselves Batman. Most of them come from “Elseworlds” tales, or stories set across the Multiverse (DC’s 52 parallel Earths)....
Rogue One is set to launch at the end of this year, and with it, an expansive new Star Wars universe. As good as Rogue One looks, and it does look good, we can’t help, but be be a bit worried that, in their haste to build a new cannon, they are tossing too much primo material out the window. Obviously, a lot of the entries on this list would need to be revised to make them fit with the current cannon, but we think that these eleven Star Wars stories deserved to not only be saved but possibly adapted into the modern continuity....
Captain America’s shield is like the TARDIS: used by many, yet fully appreciated by only a few. While several extra-terrestrial gods may have cracked it, the red, white and blue shield remains virtually indestructible by human standards. Made with care and built from a vibranium-steel alloy, the shield has deadly strength. When used in concert with Captain America’s Super Soldier Serum, it offers perfect aim and the promise of an automatic return....
Was Hannah Baker pregnant on 13 Reasons Why? The story of Hannah’s suicide may seem over, but could the biggest secret still exist? The big twist at the end of 13 Reasons Why Season 2 was not Tyler’s almost attack on the school or Clay Jensen being left holding the bag. It was the fact that Chloe, Bryce Walker’s girlfriend, who suddenly backed out of testifying against her abusive boyfriend, was pregnant....
Despite their less than stellar history being adapted into movies, video games are continuing to get turned into what Hollywood hopes will be big blockbusters. There are lists detailing the worst video game movies, from sci-fi live-action flops like Wing Commander (1999) and sucky vampire movies like Bloodrayne (2005). They are also some of the biggest box office bombs, like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001), which lost over $94 million....
While critics have been, deservedly, focused on whether or not Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is actually any good, very few have honed in on the significant differences between Rowling’s new series and its earlier counterpart. The new epic, the first installment of a five-film series, features Eddie Redmayne as the wizard and author Newt Scamander. Serious Potter fans may remember Scamander from Hogwart’s curriculum. He wrote a textbook on magical beasts with the same title as the film....
With Stephen King’s It becoming one of his best-loved pieces of fiction, the psychotic world of Pennywise the Dancing Clown was brought to life in the 1990 TV movie of the same name. Tim Curry put on a pair of baggy pants and some floppy shoes to play the creepy clown and cemented himself as a piece of horror history. However, some 27 years after the first outing, it was back to Derry for another batch of actors to face that evil entity in Andy Muschietti’s It: Chapter One....
There’s an old saying that claims that it’s good to be bad, but is that really true? The bad guys are usually the ones that everybody in the comic books are afraid of and who are always remembered as the “cool” characters by fans. In fact, sometimes the villains of a comic book or a film franchise are seen as more memorable than the hero who is starring in the story!...
