Fans have been poring over the latest Endgame trailer since it was released, looking for clues to support their theories or to spark new ones. The trailer had a whopping 268 million views in the first 24 hours. While it doesn’t really seem to show much of anything, just some scenes out of context, theories and questions have emerged: Are those white uniforms quantum realm suits? Is that Kate Bishop with Hawkeye? What’s that thing Ant-Man has? As if it wasn’t difficult enough to try and piece anything together from the trailer, now comes word that the Russo brothers have…

The Meg (2018) starred Jason Statham and grossed over $520 million worldwide as a surprise end of summer hit. So of course a sequel is in the works. The Meg pitted Jason Statham and a group of scientists against a 75-foot-long megalodon shark. The film was a co-collaboration between U.S. and Chinese studios. Executive producer Catherine Xujun Ying indicated a sequel was in development last year but called it a “secret.” When asked at SXSW, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura had this to say in an interview with CinemaBlend: “We’re working on a script. Yeah. So you never know until you…

Along with recent casting news comes word that Denis Villeneuve’s Dune has begun production. Filming is taking place in Budapest, Hungary and in Jordan. Oscar nominee Villeneuve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049) plans to make at least two films from Frank Herbert’s source material, with the first film spanning about half the novel. (Although Warner Bros has not mentioned green-lighting a second film; that may depend on the success of the first). Villeneuve co-wrote the screenplay with Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts based on the novel. Brian Herbert is one of the executive producers. Kevin J. Anderson, who co-wrote some of…

People have been poring over the latest Endgame trailer since it debuted, hoping to glean some clues to the upcoming movie. The latest rumors are sparked by the Instagram version of the trailer, which allows something to be seen that the aspect ratio on Youtube obscured. You can see the IG trailer here below. In the Instagram version, Scott Lang can be seen dragging something by the handle after he looks at the posters of the missing attached to a telephone pole. The theory is that what he has is the miniaturized version of Pym’s lab. Access to Pym’s lab…

With the news that the Disney-Fox deal is closing soon, fans were wondering if we could start to see hints of X-men or Fantastic Four characters in Endgame credit scenes. Probably not with the tight timeline until Endgame comes out in April. But now those hopes are partially answered as a fan has edited Deadpool into the latest Endgame trailer. And it’s pretty funny. The Merc with a Mouth is at his foul-mouthed best as he mocks the trailer and inserts himself in key spots. Poor Hawkeye doesn’t get much love as he is labeled “boring” several times (but hey,…

Avengers: Endgame is drawing close, and yet for many of us April 26 can’t come soon enough. Many Marvel fans will be re-watching some of the films ahead of the premiere, and it is entirely likely that some cinemas will be reshowing some of the older films before Endgame debuts. Now one die-hard Marvel fan who is up to the task can win money and prizes for re-watching all 20 of the previous MCU movies from Iron Man to Ant-Man and the Wasp back-to-back. (Captain Marvel is excluded for not being released on DVD or Blu-Ray) CableTV.com will reward one…

Things are moving along for Villeneuve’s Dune remake. Production should begin in April or May (previously anticipated to start in February), which means casting needs to be completed soon. It is mainly the supporting cast that needs to be nailed down, and previously we had mentioned the casting of Dave Bautista as Glossu “Beast” Rabban. Now comes the latest casting news with Taiwanese actor Chang Chen in talks to play Dr. Wellington Yueh, physician to House Atreides. Chen is perhaps most known for his role in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This puts the cast for the Dune reboot so far…

Kevin Tsujihara, the first head of a major Hollywood studio of Asian descent, will step down as Chairman and. CEO of Warner Bros. after 6 years. This comes after allegations of sexual misconduct. In text messages between the executive and actress Charlette Kirk, he indicated that he would push for auditions for her while they were apparently having a sexual relationship. The texts were disclosed in a Hollywood Reporter article on March 6. The actress denied any impropriety in her casting and Tsujihara’s lawyer stated he “had no direct role in the hiring of this actress.” On March 4, shortly…

There was a lot of excitement after the announcement that Marvel had rehired James Gunn to direct Guardians of the Galaxy 3 (once he finishes Suicide Squad 2 of course). Everyone was surprised but for the most part pleased with the news. With one notable (and laughable) exception. Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi took the opportunity to troll the internet with a tweet in response to the news: “What the hell?? I thought I was going to do it?!” This tweet is especially funny as Waititi was one of the most popular names bandied about as a possible replacement for…

As previously reported, Universal is working on a remake of The Invisible Man that won’t be a part of a shared Dark Universe. As reported by Variety, this will be “a fresh strategy for the Universal monsters properties, bringing creative directors with distinctive visions to the classic characters.” The Invisible Man has Leigh Whannell directing and will be produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions. Whannell has experience with horror films as he wrote for the Insidious and Saw franchises and directed Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015). Blum produced this year’s Glass and Happy Death Day 2. President of Universal’s production…
