While Fox and Sony are the most famous beneficiaries of Marvel’s early film licensing deals, those studios aren’t the only ones who sought potentially hot Marvel properties in the pre-Iron Man days. One of those characters is Namor, the Sub-Mariner, which was licensed years ago by Universal Studios but never developed into a film. Unlike some of the more famous licensed properties, the contracts with Universal apparently remained valid even though years passed without a movie release....

After years as a stuntman, Chad Stahelski broke through the director barrier by co-directing the under-the-radar action film, John Wick , alongside the uncredited David Leitch. After the cult success of the first film, Stahelski was brought back to direct the sequel John Wick: Chapter 2, which hit theaters just a few days ago. (Leitch meanwhile has moved on to direct The Coldest City and next will tackle Deadpool 2.)...

Joaquin Phoenix claims he really started to go mad preparing for Joker role. The three time Oscar nominated star has a history of losing himself in roles, particularly in past films such as Walk the Line, where he played country music legend Johnny Cash, and in 2010’s I’m Still Here, in which he faked his retirement from acting in order to concentrate on a rap career. Now with his latest role in Todd Phillip’s Joker getting plenty of attention as a result of its recent Venice Film Festival premiere, fans are growing increasingly anxious to see exactly what Phoenix has to offer when the film is officially released next month....

Director Todd Phillips shares a string of behind-the-scenes images on the set of Joker, including one that might reference Catwoman. The latest Warner Bros. superhero film may not have any narrative link to the previously established DCEU, but it still struck a chord to the public evidenced by its growing box office haul. Reviews for the movie have also been generally positive, praising it for its complex narrative and brilliant performances from all actors involved....

Jersey Shore Family Vacation’s The Situation’s prison timeline is a bumpy one.

He has tamed his wild ways, settling down in a fatherly role for the rest of his roommates. Sorrentino has been staying in Otisville Federal Correctional Institution for the past 9 months and is looking forward to his release at the end of the month....

With the recent release of Joker, actor Joaquin Phoenix has once again been thrust into the spotlight. Even aside from this film, the actor has always received high praise for his many works and ability to play a variety of characters. Over the years, Phoenix has proven time and time again that he is capable of delivering some of the most powerful performances in cinema. With so much Oscar buzz around him at the moment, now is the perfect time to look at some of the actor’s biggest achievements over the years....

The star of Jon & Kate Plus 8’s Jon Gosselin claims fame “warped” his ex-wife, Kate’s beliefs.

Jon and Kate Gosselin rose to fame on their TLC show Jon and Kate Plus Eight that aired back in 2004 after the birth of their sextuplets, Hannah, Collin, Leah, Aaden, Alexis, Joel, and Leah....

New Star Wars trilogy actors John Boyega and Oscar Isaac - who play Finn and Poe Dameron, respectively - hilariously react to a mashup image of their faces. Finn and Poe joined the galaxy far, far away in J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which kicked off a new trilogy of movies in 2015. The pair returned, along with the last member of the new trilogy, Rey (Daisy Ridley), in Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2017....

At the 2020 Golden Globes Awards, Todd Phillips’ Joker broke comic book movie records. Ever since the release of Joker back in October, the film has been the talk of the town for one reason or another, whether it’s Joaquin Phoenix’s incredible portrayal of Batman’s arch-nemesis, the film becoming the most profitable comic book movie of all time with an over $1 billion worldwide gross, or even the struggle Phillips faced getting Warner Bros....

Before Joker was even released, the quote about him realizing his life wasn’t a tragedy, but a comedy was immortalized by fans who were glad to see the sinister aspect of the character was returning in live-action. To this end, fans figure Joaquin Phoenix might have gone full method with his acting and stopped being a funny guy in general since his version of the Joker is supposed to be someone who has an innate sadness within him....

With the imminent release of Joker, Landmark Theaters has completely banned anyone in its cinemas from displaying anything related to the movie in their appearance. Loosely inspired by Alan Moore’s graphic novel The Killing Joke but largely an original creation, the film portrays an origin story for Batman’s most enduring and iconic villains, and follows failed stand-up comedian Arthur Fleck as he embarks upon a crescendoing rampage against the society that rejected him....

Jon Bernthal has joined the cast of director James Mangold’s Ford vs. Ferrari. The filmmaker is coming off what is arguably his finest effort yet in the Oscar-nominated comic book film Logan, meaning nobody expected Mangold to have any issues lining up another project. Over the past year, he’s become attached to a variety of films, including The Force, Crenshaw, and reportedly a Boba Fett spinoff movie. However, it looks like this real-life tale of warring car manufacturers is the film Mangold will make next, as evidenced by how quickly the ensemble is coming together....

Marvel has placed itself in a unique and interesting position when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. On the one hand, the studio has earned the title of heavy weight champion at the box office, with movies like Captain America: Civil War. For eight years now, Marvel has been slowly taking over the cinematic world, dominating the competition and weaving an intricate web of stories that keep fans coming back for me....

Netflix confirms the Jessica Jones season 3 release date will be in early June, though the exact date is not yet known. When Jessica Jones season 1 premiered in 2015, it was the second series to debut as part of Marvel TV and Netflix’s deal for a whole mini-universe of Marvel Cinematic Universe programming.

J.J. Abrams reveals he asked Disney about releasing the theatrical cuts of the original Star Wars trilogy, but was told that can’t happen. As many people know now, George Lucas first introduced the special editions of the trilogy in 1997 to commemorate A New Hope’s 20th anniversary. They featured numerous changes to the films, some of which proved to be very controversial among viewers. Much to the chagrin of fans, Lucas kept making alterations with each subsequent release of the original trilogy, such as the 2004 DVDs and the 2011 Blu-rays....

Interest in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum remains high, as the movie is now expected to become Lionsgate’s best home release in five years. The Keanu Reeves-led action franchise has become a bit of a phenomenon since starting in 2014. The box office for the John Wick franchise has continued to increase with each installment, with each sequel nearly doubling what the prior movie made. On the backs of more critical acclaim and stunning action, John Wick 3 grossed over $170 million domestically and $320 million worldwide this summer....
