DCEU’s Aquaman was a surprise hit despite the superhero being on the less popular end of the DC universe. The film grossed more than $1.1 billion worldwide. In January 2019, Deadline reported that Warner Bros. had begun the process of bringing back director James Wan for Aquaman 2. However, since the initial announcement, the sequel has had to overcome many obstacles, mostly relating to lead actress Amber Heard, who plays the role of Atlantean princess Mera, alongside actor Jason Momoa, who plays Aquaman....

Parks and Recreation may have ended in 2015, but the spirit of Pawnee lives on during SNL’s Weekend Update. Last night’s Saturday Night Live was hosted by Aubrey Plaza, currently starring in the Netflix crime thriller Emily the Criminal. But, no matter how serious Plaza may get on screen, fans who love her best for her deadpan sarcasm as April Ludgate – the apathetic intern from NBC’s Parks and Recreation – were in for a treat during a special Weekend Update segment in which she reunited with her local Pawnee government counterpart Amy Poehler to reprise their beloved roles....

Cameron Diaz is one of the most recognizable actors of the 1990s and 2000s, and after her strong debut starring alongside Jim Carrey in The Mask with no prior acting experience, and her commanding presence on screen made sure to secure her spots in some of the most iconic films of the decades, making her one of the most in demand actors.

Kate Hudson, known as one of the biggest rom-com actresses of all time, is no stranger to drama and romance genre films. As the daughter of Goldie Hawn, Hudson has been around Hollywood her entire life. Following in her mother’s footsteps, Hudson appeared in some of the best movies to watch with your girlfriends throughout the years.

Mads Mikkelsen has deservedly become the face of contemporary Danish cinema. Initially wanting to pursue a dancing career, Mikkelsen had changed his mind after ten years and decided to enroll at a Theater Academy. Already a prominent figure in Denmark in the late 90s and early 2000s, he started to receive more global recognition after his villainous role in Casino Royale. What truly made him well-known in the eyes of the general audience are his highly praised performances as Dr Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal, which some say is the best Lecter adaptation, and his role of Kaecilius in Marvel’s Doctor Strange....

Known for his absurd humor and his often dark and macabre undertones, Roald Dahl is one of the most beloved children’s authors of all time. His books have sold over 300 million copies, been translated into 63 languages, and have been adapted into over a dozen movies. Almost all of his movie adaptations have been huge critical hits, but, interestingly (and for various reasons), most have failed to match that success commercially....

For instance, Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water swept up 13 Oscar nominations in 2018, one of which was Best Actress for Hawkins....

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever just missed out on beating Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’s opening weekend domestic gross by $6 million.

The domestic total has climbed to around $290 million after adding around $67 million to its first week totals....

The lines between the Sony Spider-Verse and the Marvel Cinematic Universe have quickly become blurred thanks to the epic saga that is Spider-Man: No Way Home, leading fans to wonder what other possible crossovers this could lead to.

Last Tuesday, Blanchett was given the Best Actress in Motion Picture Drama award at the Golden Globes....

500 Days of Summer redefined rom-coms when it released, mainly because it’s actually a coming of age story in disguise. It’s a tale as old as time with some twists; boy meets girl, he falls head over heels, she makes the first move, and they’re onto 500 days of a lot of drama. The film’s atypical conclusion has made it a cult classic; it’s a topic of discussion for romantics and realists alike but, was there ever a love story to begin with?...

Let’s just lay it all out on the table: time travel is terribly hard to get right in movies. Done poorly, time travel can be a one-way ticket to a confused and unhappy audience. Paradoxes pile on paradoxes, and nobody feels quite sure whether any of it makes sense. But at the same time, it’s one of the most intriguing subjects tackled by science fiction films. Done right, time travel is a source of wonder, a wellspring of mind-bending possibilities and inventiveness....
