If there’s one thing we can count on fan conventions for, it’s Q&A’s with some of our favorite stars. Well, bless some enterprising fans at this past weekend’s MegaCon in Orlando for asking something. Paul Bettany just answered a pretty big and burning fan question. Will we see the return of Avenger Vision? Is he actually…done-done? “Can you tell us anything, in any way shape or form, will Vision return? Are you going to return in the MCU,” the fan asked during a spotlight panel with the “A Knights Tale” star. “Uh, yeah,” Bettany answered. And of course, the audience…

This just in-after much industry and fan speculation, Naughty Dog has seemingly confirmed that a third “The Last of Us” game is may be happening. In the recently released “Grounded II: Making The Last of Us Part II” documentary, Game creator Neil Druckmann pretty much confirms a third title is in the works. “The great thing about working at Naughty Dog is that we don’t have to. It’s always like, we would love another Last of Us, but if you guys are passionate about something else, we’ll support this other thing,” Druckmann says. “Very privileged position to be in. I never…

We’ve all been a little curious to see what Tim Burton’s next project was going to be. Yes, we know that “Beetlejuice 2” is officially on the release docket for this year, as well as “Wednesday” season 2. But what about yet another classic pulpy film? Like when Burton took a stab at “Planet of the Apes?” Or…”Attack of the 50 Foot Woman?”Turns out, that’s exactly what he’ll be directing for Warner Bros. Pictures, from a script by Gillian Flynn (“Gone Girl,” “Sharp Objects,” “Utopia”)! There’s no word on possible casting yet, but considering Burton and long-time creative muse and…

You know those commercials you have to watch about six times to really understand everything happening? We’ve got a brand new one of those for you. This is Paramount+’s ad that’ll run during Super Bowl LVII, which is taking place Sunday, February 11th. Yes of course we’ll be bringing you all the trailer drops, but you’ve really GOT to see this ad. We’ll just start by telling you it features Sir Patrick Stewart in full classic American football regalia throwing 90s animated hero Arnold (“Hey Arnold!”) while “Survivor” host Jeff Probst, Drew Barrymore, Lt. Dangle from “Reno 9-1-1” (Thomas Lennon),…

It would appear that social media platform (and, let’s be honest, lifestyle choice) TikTok has lost a pretty big chunk of music. This comes after the company failed to reach a deal with Universal Music Group for licensing songs by artists under the label. This includes Taylor Swift, Drake, and numerous others. The deadline was January 31st. Songs from Universal Music Group artists are now no longer available, and have been removed from previously posted content. “Today, as an indication of how little TikTok compensates artists and songwriters, despite its massive and growing user base, rapidly rising advertising revenue and…

This just in-sounds like that “28 Years Later” flick has found a home at Sony Pictures! Hailing once again from original franchise creators Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, this third film is planned to launch a second trilogy.This deal apparently includes “28 Years Later,” which Garland has written and Boyle will direct. And with that, a “Part 2,” which will sport another script by Garland, but without Boyle attached at this time. “28 Days Later” star Cillian Murphy (“Oppenheimer,” “Peaky Blinders”) will produce, as well as *POSSIBLY* star in the one of the new films. We’ll let you know what…

Look, we’re all for the average person owning swords. But when Home Depot starts selling two-handed claymores based on Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart,” we have to start asking some questions. Who thought this was a good idea? Why is this a regular item and not something seasonal from their impressive Halloween collection? “Reclaim your FREEDOM from the tyrannical English king with this authentic William Wallace sword. This sword is a replica of the sword William Wallace wielded in the movie Braveheart,” Home Depot’s website says. “The blade is made of polished stainless steel and is double edged. The hilt and pommel…
