You Can Now Rewatch ‘Wednesday’ Season 2’s Surprising Standout Scene On YouTube

Netflix Wednesday isn’t your typical Tim Burton project. First of all, it’s a TV series, so he doesn’t even direct all the episodes. But it also doesn’t have that over-the-top campy feeling of Beetlejuice, Mars Attacks!, or Batman. There’s still a grim edge — and, since it’s Wednesday, plenty of deadpan humor — but it […]

17 Years Later, A Major Streaming Service Is Going Away

NurPhoto/NurPhoto/Getty Images When streaming first began, it was the Wild West. Netflix launched its streaming service in 2007, and as it grew it became the place where you could watch everything from Star Trek, to The West Wing, to The Office, all in one place. But as companies realized they could launch their own services […]

HBO’s Next ‘Game Of Thrones’ Spinoff May Be Coming Later Than You Think

HBO HBO is committed to building out the world of Westeros on the small screen, but getting its Game of Thrones spinoffs out of production purgatory is easier said than done. Of all the prequels and sequels planned for the franchise, only one, House of the Dragon, has gotten off the ground. With that prequel […]

The Best Spider-Man Variant Just Got His Own Spinoff

Sony Pictures Animation The best part of Sony’s innovative Spider-Verse movies, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, might be the fact that dozens of alternate Spider-Man variants from other parallel universes make small cameos. Many are interesting enough that they could star in their own Spider-Man movies, and now we’re actually seeing […]

Why Disney’s Next Big Sci-Fi Reboot Deleted A Controversial Character

Walt Disney Pictures It’s no secret that AI is a hot-button topic in Hollywood right now. It’s being used to de-age actors, to expand the frames of film, and to create new movies from scratch. But it’s still mired with controversy: the use of generative AI in Hollywood was a major talking point during the […]

Netflix’s Biggest New Fantasy Hit Is Getting Some Surprising Spinoffs

Netflix In the world of streaming, hits can come from nowhere. Millions of dollars can be poured into flashy, high-profile projects like The Electric State, but that’s not enough to guarantee it will make a mark. Meanwhile, an international series can rocket its way to the top of the charts purely through word of mouth. […]

Marvel Just Quietly Released A Very Promising ‘Black Panther’ Spinoff

Marvel Studios Marvel’s Black Panther saga won’t ever be the same after the passing of Chadwick Boseman, the star once poised to carry this cinematic universe into a new phase. That said, it remains one of the most important pillars for the franchise, thanks to writer-director Ryan Coogler and his fierce commitment to building out […]

‘Peacemaker’s Place In DCU Canon Is More Complicated Than We Thought

Warner Bros. Reboots are usually pretty awkward. When Disney rebranded Star Wars’ Extended Universe as the now non-canonical Legends universe in 2014, there was a lot of confusion surrounding what made the cut and what didn’t. When Star Trek started another continuity in 2009, everything new was simply thrown into an alternate timeline. The DC […]

Marvel Is About To Completely Reboot One Of Its Most Important Teams

20th Century Fox For as long as the MCU has existed, fans have wondered how and when the X-Men would enter the franchise. For years, the fact that Fox owned the rights to make X-Men movies essentially made the scenario impossible. But after Disney acquired Fox in 2019, the X-Men were suddenly fair game. Their […]

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’s New Spinoff Just Made A Divisive Recasting

But Yeun already has […]
