Lots of first looks, teases, and news confirmations for several upcoming properties from Warner Bros. Pictures and DC happened. We’re expecting 2021’s event to be just as good, if not even better. To really get everyone in the mood, Matt Reeves’ upcoming film “The Batman,” which stars Robert Pattinson as the Capped Crusader, released two new posters.The first is yet-another look at Pattinson as the Dark Knight, while the other is…

Because this Chris Columbus, John Hughes holiday classic apparently needed a reboot, Disney+ has released the first trailer for “Home Sweet Home Alone.” We’re…really not sure how we feel about it, especially after seeing this video. The official synopsis from Disney+ for the film reads:”Max Mercer is a mischievous and resourceful young boy who has been left behind while his family is in Japan for the holidays. So when a married couple attempting to retrieve a priceless heirloom set their sights on the Mercer family’s home, it is up to Max to protect it from the trespassers…and he will do whatever…

One of the things we do look forward to every year are the companies who roll out Halloween-themed goodies. Yeah, sure, MAYBE it makes us a little basic, but what’s not to love about pumpkin and cinnamon and clove?!

Let’s take a closer look, shall we? Bewitched Broomstick – A Kreme™ filled doughnut dipped in purple icing, decorated with an icing swirl and gold stars, and finished with a green…

This just in-it looks like Will Poulter will be taking on the iconic Marvel Comics role of Adam Warlock in the upcoming film “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.” If you’ll recall, the character was teased in the post-credits scene in James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” as the ‘child’ of the golden Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki). Could this be the reason Poulter pulled out of Amazon’s “Lord of the Rings” series? Possibly.Lights, Camera, Podcast got to chat with the actor in a recent episode, which they just so happened to publish today. Check that out here. We know…

Just in case you were unaware, we’re getting an all-new “Ghostbusters” movie this year from Ivan and Jason Reitman. To celebrate the upcoming flick, Sony Pictures brought a panel with the cast and crew to New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2021. While the 28-minute panel is adorable and enjoyable, it was what happened AFTERWARDS that had the internet all aflutter. As announced by Jason (son of original “Ghostbusters” director Ivan), the entire NYCC audience was treated to an early screening of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife!” Initial reactions were pretty positive, and we can’t wait to see “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” ourselves when it hits…

Doesn’t it feel like it’s been a million years since the last Marvel Studios’ release? True, we did FINALLY get “Black Widow” back in July, but…it’s been a minute.

Upcoming animated series “Star Trek: Prodigy” keeps setting our expectations high. First, it was the early animation teases.
