Dakota Johnson has shared her opinions on the state of the film industry, particularly regarding streaming services.Speaking with L’Officiel, Johnson, who has been promoting her new movie Madame Web, shared: “I am discovering that it’s really fucking bleak in this industry. It is majorly disheartening.”She continued: “The people who run streaming platforms don’t trust creative people or artists to know what’s going to work, and that is just going to make us implode.”The Fifty Shades Of Grey star added: “It’s really heartbreaking.

It is released in cinemas on February 14.Following the screening, the film was roundly panned with one critic describing it as an “embarrassing mess” and “probably the worst comic book movie I have ever seen”.#MadameWeb is an embarrassing mess. Talented stars wasted on probably the worst comic book movie I have ever seen.

More than six years after “Deadpool 2,” the third and belated “Deadpool” movie, now officially titled “Deadpool & Wolverine,” is nearly here. Marvel Studios’ sole 2024 movie, coming in the summer, is also Marvel’s first R-rated movie, and it’ll be the first movie released after the studio’s first flop, “The Marvels,” so a lot is riding on it.

Last night, The Walt Disney Company reported its first quarter earnings of 2024 on Wednesday, and Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger dropped many bombs and surprise announcements. “Moana 2” is coming later this year, “Toy Story 5” and “Frozen 3” are coming in 2026, Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” concert doc is coming to Disney+ in March, and so much more.

Wait, why is Matthew Vaughn on the MCU train? He’s got a Universal “Argylle” spy movie coming out soon and isn’t involved with Marvel or any of the old Marvel/Fox properties. Well, apparently, he knows a little bit about what’s in store, and on a recent episode of BroBible’s Post Credit Podcast, he evidently sang the movie’s praises, going as far as to claim it will “save” the MCU.

Welp, there’s been yet another casting casualty in Marvel Studios’ “Thunderbolts” project that was supposed to shoot last year but was delayed because of the actors’ and writers’ strikes. Following the departure of Steven Yeung, now we’re learning that “The Bear” star Ayo Edebiri, is also leaving the project due to scheduling issues.

Sexy Spider-Man actor Tom Holland is definitely a household name — it’s just too bad that his paycheck for his role as the superhero/Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was sent to the wrong household.On Monday’s episode of “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” British actor Tom Hollander, who is known for his star turns in “Pride & Prejudice,” the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, “The White Lotus” and “The Night Manager,” revealed the humbling moment his agency mistakenly sent him an “Avengers” bonus meant for the 27-year-old currently dating Zendaya. “I went to see my friend who was doing theater in England for 300 pounds a week, you know, but doing great work, Chekhov, and I sat smugly in the audience having just done a BBC show for 30 grand or something which was, you know, going to get me through the next year or so,” Hollander explained.

Tom Holland‘s pay cheques for The Avengers after the accountant got them confused because of the similarity in their names.He also admitted that the mix-up had enabled him to see just how big a bonus Hollander got for appearing in the Marvel blockbuster.Hollander told the story in a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.“It’s been very difficult, because you know I was here first but he’s enormously famous,” he said. “I don’t actually get mistaken for him, but in nonvisual contexts I get mistaken for him all the time.”Hollander also said he was occasionally introduced to “excited, then confused, then disappointed children” who might have thought they were meeting Spider-Man.On the time he got a payment that was meant for Holland, Hollander said: “People in the accounts department of my agency got confused.

social media. “The suit hides the blood. Also sweat … But today, with Deadpool wrapping, it’s mostly tears,” Reynolds captioned a waist-down photo of him in his famous anti-hero costume.

Following his turns as the evil character in Marvel’s Netflix series, Vincent D’Onofrio is obviously back as Wilson Fisk, aka The Kingpin, in the proper Marvel Cinematic Universe (the Netflix era was previously disconnected from canon). D’Onofrio already re-appeared as the character in the “Hawkeye” Disney+ limited series (2021), and he’s back once again in the “Echo” series, which is streaming now on Disney+ and Hulu (read our review).

Robert Downey Jr. is on his way to an Oscar nomination for “Oppenheimer,” and if you’re a betting person, well, I would already bank on the win, personally.

Marvel’s “Madame Web” swings into theaters Valentine’s Day, and a first look at Sydney Sweeney’s Spider-Woman costume has just been unveiled.The “Euphoria” star, 26, appears in the superheroine flick alongside “Fifty Shades of Grey” star Dakota Johnson in the role of Julia Carpenter, a.k.a. Spider-Woman.The Chinese poster for the Sony-produced film features Sweeney donning a black and gray latex suit and a mask.

Marvel’s new limited series, “Echo,” is deeply frustrating, a show with good intentions and poor aim. Ostensibly full of depth but never hitting the bullseye— seemingly about the complicated emotional agonies of families, adopted, found, and betrayed and the burdens of trauma—most of it is told without meaningful resonance.

“The View” Thursday to discuss why “it’s hard to get male movie stars to make rom-coms.”“As long as we can get more Marvel guys to like, you know, ‘Hey, come to a rom-com!,’ I think that that’s a big part of the formula too,” she said.Co-host Sara Haines then asked the “Fool’s Gold” actress why there is a “misstep” between masculine entertainers and the allure of romance films.Hudson explained: “I think it’s about the writing, and how we’re investing in telling the story of the writing and the directors.”“If you look at the classic rom-coms or movies that last forever — ’cause they do, they’re the ones that last forever; people go back and back — they had the best writers,” she went on.She added that it’s up to the studios, as they are “investing in the talents.”One of Hudson’s most memorable roles was in 2003’s “How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” in which she starred alongside Matthew McConaughey.She noted on the talk show how that film’s script was “well-written” and didn’t need to follow a “certain formula” for it to be successful. “There is a formula that works — but it does also start with the writing.

x-cited for his role in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”During an interview with the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast on Jan. 4, the legendary actor, 83, opened up about his experience filming the Marvel movie, in which he appeared as Professor X.“It was alone,” Stewart explained. “I think the big scene, each one of the leading actors had the same experience.

Hollywood Reporter Tuesday.While insiders did not give an explicit reason for the actor’s departure, they cited that the recent actors and writers strikes could be a factor.Additionally, the Marvel movie — which was originally going to be released July 2024 — was being pushed back to 2025.Sources added that the strikes “put schedules in disarray” and could be another cause for Yeun’s exit.Filming still hasn’t begun on the feature, which is set to star Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour and Wyatt Russell.It was first reported in February 2023 that the “Beef” actor had joined the anti-hero film.It is still unclear if his role will be recast or erased entirely. Comic book fans took to X to wonder why Yeun was leaving the movie.

Welp, there it is. A rumor that made the rounds on social media earlier today has turned out to be true.

Happy New Year! There’s no rest for the wicked, and let’s get right to it (though we hope you had a great NYE and aren’t hungover). Happy Sad Confused isn’t resting during the break, either.

Let’s face it: from ‘Quantumania,’ to the Victoria Alonso and Jonathan Majors dramas, and “The Marvels,” Marvel Studios had a really bad 2023 (we went over their stressful year in much detail here). At the very least, they’ve ended 2023 on a very good note with “What If…?” season two, a series we gave some really top marks for for its mythical and archetypal writing.

according to IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.The Jason Momoa-led movie is expected to earn over $40 million plus on the four-day Christmas weekend, according to Deadline. However, if those numbers are correct, it will have a worse opening weekend than Marvel’s biggest bomb, “The Marvels,” which was released in November.The Post said the DC Studios film “isn’t well done, but it isn’t miserable either.”“Wonka,” which held the No.

After a particularly brutal year for the brand, Marvel manages to end 2023 on a last-minute positive note with the animated series “What If…?” The series continues to surprise and even disarm the viewer with the unexpected. Just when you think it’s content to provide simply entertaining fan-service-y alternative multiverse stories of your favorite with a twist— and it surely can do that too— it turns and deepens leveraging the freedom of the inventive, imagined what-if presentation to tell darker, richer versions of Marvel Cinematic Universe tales, often with a meaningfully tragic bent that really compel.

OK, it’s that time of year, the holidays. As you generally know, we mostly avoid the scuttlebutt of daily internet rumors.

Marvel will reportedly “change” the title of the forthcomng Avengers movie after lead star Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assault.On Monday (December 18), the actor was dropped by Marvel Studios immediately after the verdict, which saw a jury find him guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. He could now be facing up to a year in prison.Majors previously played the role of Kang the Conqueror in 2023’s Ant-Man And The Wasp Quantumania and the Disney+ series Loki.

Quentin Tarantino’s scrapped Star Trek film has been compared to an unexpected Marvel movie.Earlier this week, news emerged that the Oscar-winning director had reportedly abandoned the project because he didn’t want it to be the final film of his career.The director has long spoken of his intention to retire after his tenth and final film, the title of which, The Movie Critic, was revealed earlier this year.Screenwriter Mark L. Smith, who worked on the script for Tarantino’s Star Trek film, explained in a new interview with Collider that after some “back and forth”, the director “started worrying about the number, his kind of unofficial number of films”.He went on to shed some light on what the scrapped project might have been like, comparing it to the script for Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok, in that that it would have been very different to the rest of the franchise.“I liked it because I think it’s different, but the way that [Thor] Ragnarok changed things.

conviction Monday on charges of misdemeanor assault and harassment — and his resulting ouster by Marvel Studios — should be a wake-up call to Disney.That message from Captain Obvious? Start over completely. The need for a reboot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been apparent for years now. Disney’s “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out” firing of Majors, who played the villainous Kang the Conqueror in the painfully stupid “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” was really just the straw that broke the Marvel’s back.
