Here Are Over 30 Marvel ‘Star Wars #1’ Variant Comic Book Covers By Germain Lussier/Dec. 9, 2014 6:00 am EST If projections hold, Marvel’s 2015 comic book, Star Wars #1, written by Jason Aaron with artwork by John Cassaday, will be the best-selling comic book in the past two decades. Rumor has it a million copies of the book could be sold when it’s released on January 14. Part of the reason for that is Marvel will be telling a new story about what Luke, Han, Leia and the group did between Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back — that’s largely an unexplored few years in Star Wars lore....

Jennifer Lawrence Is Now “Dying To Come Back” For More X-Men Movies By Ethan Anderton/March 30, 2016 11:30 am EST Almost exactly one year ago, Jennifer Lawrence said that X-Men: Apocalypse was going to be her last time playing Mystique in the comic book franchise. At the time we thought this could just as easily been a negotiating tactic for more money to reprise the character down the road, and a new statement from Lawrence seems to indicate that was the case all along....

Jon Bernthal Is The Punisher For ‘Daredevil’ Season 2 By Russ Fischer/June 9, 2015 1:24 pm EST There’s a new Punisher in town. The fourth actor to play the role on screen, this time on television rather than in film, is The Walking Dead’s Jon Bernthal. Daredevil season two will feature Bernthal as Frank Castle, whose black-clad alter ego is better known as Marvel’s gun-toting, gangster-blasting anti-hero. We’ll see Bernthal as Castle when the show returns to Netflix in 2016....

More ‘Wonder Woman’ Rumors: Is It A ‘Batman V Superman’ Prequel? By Angie Han/Oct. 23, 2015 4:00 pm EST Wonder Woman is just a few weeks away from the start of production, and there still isn’t a whole lot we know about it. It’s confirmed that Gal Gadot and Chris Pine will star for director Patty Jenkins, and that it’s opening on June 23, 2017. Warner Bros. has not said a peep about when it will take place, or what it will be about, or how it’ll fit in with the rest of the DCEU....

By Ethan Anderton/March 24, 2016 11:30 am EST It’s been a few years since MoviePass hit the scene in 2012, providing a location-based app and exclusive payment method to give users the ability to attend as many movies in theaters as they want for one monthly rate (with some restrictions). At the time it was introduced, exhibitors were worried that it would cut into their profits, but some recently released numbers would seem to indicate otherwise....

That’s the pretty good news. The really great news is that with her comes a host of new details about the mysterious project. To sum up, this film sounds bonkers in a good way....

Original DeLorean Time Machine From ‘Back To The Future’ Heading To Petersen Auto Museum By Ethan Anderton/March 17, 2016 7:00 am EST Not too long ago, we learned that new DeLorean cars would be manufactured beginning in 2017, but they were going to cost significantly more than they did when the car was originally sold back in the 1980s. But if you don’t have the cash to buy your own DeLorean, you’ll just have to settle for being able to see the original DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future when it heads to its new home at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles....

Rumor: Universal Wants Dwayne Johnson For ‘The Wolf Man’ By Jacob Hall/June 23, 2016 10:00 am EST I’ll give Universal this much: they appear to be hellbent on ensuring that their upcoming Universal monster revivals are major events. The original films were B-movies in the classic sense of the word, produced for small budgets by clever filmmakers forced to work within the confines of a genre that many audiences and artists simply did not take seriously....

VOTD: Watch This VFX Breakdown From ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season Five By Ethan Anderton/July 24, 2015 5:00 am EST The fifth season of Game of Thrones has been done for barely over a month, but fans are undoubtedly already looking forward to the sixth season, hoping that one beloved character killed off at the end of last season will make a return. Even though one of the Game of Thrones directors confirmed the death of this character to President Obama, recent rumblings seem to confirm that the character probably isn’t really gone....

Watch: ‘The Simpsons’ Take On ‘Frozen’ In Latest Couch Gag By Germain Lussier/Dec. 5, 2014 12:30 pm EST The always meta and funny mobile game The Simpsons: Tapped Out recently teased that at least 50% of The Simpsons’ audience tunes out after seeing the couch gag. I don’t think that’s actually true most of the time, but it might be this week as the biggest animated TV show of all time parodies the biggest animated film of all time: Frozen....

Watch Two ‘A Most Violent Year’ Trailers Starring Jessica Chastain And Oscar Isaac By Angie Han/Nov. 3, 2014 9:30 am EST Jessica Chastain will be seen in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar in a few days, but that’s actually just one of two big premieres she has this week.

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ And ‘Last Man On Earth’ Renewed By Angie Han/March 25, 2016 7:00 am EST Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Last Man on Earth follow Gotham, Empire, Scream Queens, and Bones in snagging early renewals. Returning series New Girl is also expected to get a renewal, but word is the deal is still being worked out. We’re so proud of these comedies. Each has its own unique voice, but they both boast terrific ensembles with stand-out characters and, of course, phenomenal writing, which are the hallmarks of all great comedies....

‘Deadpool’ Deleted Scene: Just Jackin’ It By Angie Han/April 12, 2016 4:30 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. (If you’re having trouble watching the embedded video below, click here to watch the Deadpool deleted scene on MTV.) Get More: Music News That delightful music you’re listening to as Ryan Reynolds pretends to tug himself to completion is the “Deadpool Rap” by Teamheadkick. It’s kind of like Vanilla Ice’s “Ninja Rap” from 1991’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze, except way less kid-friendly....

‘Fables’ Gets ‘Kick-Ass’ Screenwriter By Angie Han/Jan. 20, 2015 10:30 am EST We may finally be inching closer to Fabletown. Kick-Ass screenwriter Jane Goldman has been hired to write the long-gestating Fables adaptation, which Nikolaj Arcel (The Royal Affair) will direct. Based on the Vertigo Comics series by Bill Willingham, Fables centers around a community of fairy tale characters (or “Fables”) who’ve been exiled from their homeland and now reside in modern-day New York....

You should know by now whether or not you think this show is one of the most compelling programs in the history of the television medium and are eagerly awaiting the new season or if you simply don’t like good things....

‘Gotham’ Recruits Former ‘Hero’ To Play Villain By Angie Han/Feb. 5, 2015 8:00 am EST The press release also promises that Gordon’s dealings with Lennon will “send both Gordon and Lennon — and those around them — on a course toward tragedy.” As if anything in Gotham City isn’t on a course toward tragedy. Seriously, what a terrible place. In the comic books, the Ogre is the Frankenstein’s monster-like result of genetic alterations....

‘Jack Reacher 2’ Sets Fall Release Date By Angie Han/Sept. 2, 2015 11:00 am EST The studio has announced Jack Reacher 2 will open October 21, 2016. It takes the place of Warner Bros.’ disaster pic Geostorm, which, like Jack Reacher 2, is co-produced by Skydance. That one was moved to January 2017 earlier this week. The date pits Jack Reacher 2 against the horror sequel Ouija 2 and the action horror sequel Underworld 5....
