James Cameron hasn’t made it a secret that his former Aliens star Sigourney Weaver would return for the upcoming sequel Avatar: The Way of Water. The part that was a mystery was who she would play. Weaver’s character in Avatar, Grace Augustine, died near the end of the original film. So how would she appear in the sequel?

In the summer of 2020, Disney announced that it would permanently close its popular Splash Mountain attractions at Disneyland and Walt Disney World and replace them with a new ride based on the animated movie The Princess and the Frog. Two years later, they’ve unveiled new details about the ride — and the rough timetable of when it will be coming to both Disney parks.

As Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” becomes a chart-topping hit thanks to its placement in the popular Netflix series Stranger Things, one thing becomes perfectly clear — music and film (or in this case, highly cinematic television) are undeniably linked. A great song has the power to elevate a movie scene, while a well-executed scene can breathe new life into a track. But there are some song uses in films that just stand out. There’s something magical about them. It’s hard to put a finger on what makes a needle drop special, but you know it when you hear it.

It’s finally been confirmed that we'll be getting another MonsterVerse movie. It'll be coming out around March 15 of 2024, but as of now, plot details are pretty scarce. Given the huge wealth of Godzilla movies made as part of other universes, there’s a near infinite amount of possibilities.

A TV version of Field Of Dreams was set up to start production over at Peacock, but unfortunately, it seems the streaming service won’t be moving forward with the show after all. The exact reason behind the studio’s decision to pass on the project isn’t known, but it did have some serious creators behind it.

Pixar’s return to movie theaters hasn’t gone as well as the animation studio would have hoped. So far Lightyear has grossed just $97 million in the United States, making it Pixar’s weakest American release ever except for Onward, which opened in theaters on March 6, 2020, just before multiplexes around the world closed at the start of the Covid pandemic.

The final two episodes of Stranger Things Season 4 premiered on Netflix today, and as you might expect for the conclusion to the latest batch of shows from the most popular English-language Netflix series in history, demand was high. So high, it seems, that some people actually struggled to watch the finale for a while.

The MCU’s version of Ms. Marvel gets her powers — or at least harnesses her innate powers — through the use of a magical bangle. The full history of this object hasn’t been explained. But so far the Ms. Marvel show has already dropped some major clues about its origin. The show mentioned that Kamala Khan’s ancestor found it on the arm of a blue alien — presumably a Kree like we saw in the Captain Marvel movie. So could it be one of the famous Nega Bands worn by the original Captain Marvel?

Going outside is for suckers. It’s hot. It’s sweaty. It’s just not fun. If your plans this summer don’t involve pools or camp or baseball, or you’ve foolishly done all of that and now you’re so sunburned you can’t move, it’s good to know that Netflix is planning to release several dozen new movies and shows for families and kids during July and August. All told, when you throw in stuff that’s already available from earlier this season, it adds up to 30 films and shows.

Marvel movies go through many twists and turns on their way to the screen, and sometimes change drastically between the script stage and the final version that appears in theaters. Sometimes the deleted material gets released on home video. Sometimes this stuff vanishes into the ether and we never even hear about it.

Disney has a brand new ship in its cruise fleet called the Disney Wish, and it’s been outfitted with all sorts of modern conveniences to please both kids and their parents alike. There’s a play area themed to Marvel’s superheroes. There’s an ice cream bar designed to resemble the world of Inside Out and several plush movie theaters onboard showing the latest Disney releases.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name Ant-Man? Sure, there’s the fact that he’s played by the incredibly versatile Paul Rudd. Maybe it’s the fact that he was an active member of the time-heist in which the Avengers stole the Infinity Stones back from Thanos. Or maybe you think of the gigantic plot hole from between Infinity War and Endgame.

Rob Zombie's The Munsters reboot has managed to garner a good deal of excitement from the general public. That being said, it seems that fans of the original series could have a lot to enjoy too. That’s because recently, Rob Zombie announced that Butch Patrick, an original cast member who played Eddie Munster on the show, will be appearing in the film as the Tin Can Man.

Cameron Diaz hasn’t had a starring role in a movie since 2014, when she appeared as Miss Hannigan in the modern remake of Annie. After that, Diaz stopped working and in 2018 confirmed she was “semi-retired” from acting, reportedly because she disliked all the travel. Eight years...

This week’s episode of Ms. Marvel includes a lot of references to the comics series of the same name — and you can read some of them by taking a picture of the QR code that pops up in the background of this episode. To find out where...

The internet got to react to the trailer for Hocus Pocus 2. Now it’s the stars’ turn. Today, Disney shared a video of the movie’s leading ladies — Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy — watching the Hocus Pocus 2 teaser on a computer. (Spoiler alert: They really liked it.)

The following article contains minor spoilers for the first four episodes of Ms. Marvel. This week on Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan visits her relatives in Karachi. She discovers more about the origin of her mysterious powers and the bangle that channels them. She learns the true backstory of the Clandestines, and finally understands why they covet her abilities. She meets another group of enigmatic vigilantes known as the Red Daggers, then escapes from the Clandestines with their help. In the ensuing battle, Kamala apparently gets sent back in time to the era of the partition of India.

If you saw No Time to Die, you know that we won’t see Daniel Craig’s James Bond again. But, of course, the franchise has been going for half a century and 25 movies. We’ll see someone’s James Bond. It will just be a new actor and a new take on the material.

Have you ever wanted to see George Clooney get bitten by a dolphin? Admit it: You have. Many, many times. It’s a universal human wish across all of time and space. At last the dream shall become a reality in Ticket to Paradise, a new romantic comedy that will reteam Clooney (and a dolphin) with his Ocean’s 11 (and, to a lesser extent, Money Monster) co-star, Julia Roberts. In a scenario that definitely recalls their relationship in the first Ocean’s movie, they play an estranged couple who reunite for their daughter’s wedding. But both disapprove of her marriage, and need to work together to break it up before it can happen.

We’re approaching the season finale of Stranger Things Season 4, and we’re hoping to finally get a full explanation of what the Upside Down is and how it works. How is it connected to Hawkins? How is it connected to One? Why is it so powerful? And what are the various levels of the Upside Down and how do they all relate to one another?
