We need to cut directors and casting teams some slack. It’s incredibly challenging to cast a movie based on pre-existing characters that everyone loves. What’s even more difficult is an actor’s job to breathe life into them. This is especially true when it comes to Batman and anything Batman-related. People just adore the character and his impressive Rogues Gallery. They feel an emotional connection to the material as well as the struggles and adventures of the character....

Will Smith is inviting fans to hang out on set in a Bad Boys For Life contest. The Bad Boys franchise began in 1995 and follows the often-chaotic lives of two Miami police detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett (played by Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, respectively). A sequel was released in 2003, with a third film, Bad Boys For Life, first announced ten years ago.

One of Avengers: Endgame’s most bizarre theories - the ‘Thanus’ theory - has gotten its own theme song. At the end of this month, fans will witness the culmination of everything that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has spent over a decade building. Marvel has been even more tight-lipped than usual about the MCU’s future, even choosing not to release their upcoming slate of movies for fear of spoilers.

Both promotional artwork and set photos have already teased that he’ll appear in Avengers 4, though, so it’s safe to say that he finds a way out....

Joss Whedon is solely responsible for Batgirl being developed as Warner Bros. was not considering a Barbara Gordon standalone prior to his pitch. WB has been working quickly to establish and expand the DC Extended Universe to rival the box office success, audience admiration, and notoriety of the MCU and other big franchises. In doing so, team up films like Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and Justice League have been put at the forefront of their slate, each introducing new characters and furthering the stories of others....
