Thor, Rocket, and Groot Stick Together This won’t be a surprise to anyone who’s been following the marketing and merchandise of Avengers: Infinity War so far, but the God of Thunder will be joining forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy. What the EW report confirms is that we’ll see Thor, Groot, and Rocket team-up for most of the film as they pursue a special mission to stop Thanos. We’ve already seen Thor, Rocket, and Groot figures promoted together, and Thor: Ragnarok proved how comedic the God of Thunder can be when paired with the right characters....

After seventeen years Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return in glorious form with Bad Boys for Life. By all accounts, fans are pleased with the third entry, and the early box office numbers aren’t disappointing either. As great as the movie is, it is far from perfect, as the following list will show. The ten entries below detail five reasons why Bad Boys for Life is the best in the series, and five reasons why it is the worst....

[SPOILERS ahead for those not caught up on The Flash.] - The CW’s DC Comics shared universe first began with the grounded take on comic book superheroes with Arrow, following Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) as he returned to his home and attempted to save his city. The first spinoff, The Flash, took a notably lighter route in tackling superheroes, helped along by the optimism of Barry Allen (Grant Gustin). The CW’s DC TV universe has since grown to include the ensemble time travel drama Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl, which aired its first season on CBS and will make the move to The CW starting with its second season....

Batman & The Shadow will once again be paired together in a comic-book event, pitting them against an ancient evil. The Shadow/Batman comes from DC Comics and Dynamite Entertainment, using two classic characters in a new story. Given that The Shadow was a direct influence on the creation of Batman, it makes sense that the pair continue their adventures together. Writer Steve Orlando and artist Giovanni Timpano are taking the reins as they challenge the pair with the problems of morality as a vigilante....

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice pits two of the world’s most beloved superheroes against each other in a super-powered battle royal that has already divided fans worldwide – not just in terms of which hero will come out on top, but whether or not dark storylines of heroes fighting heroes (also the subject of Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War) should really be the future direction of the genre, which already faced steep criticism for what some felt was an unnecessarily grim finale to Dawn’s predecessor, Man of Steel....

Warning: the following contains major spoilers for Avengers: Endgame. Avengers: Endgame writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely reveal they almost cut a certain divisive moment from the film’s final battle scene. After a torturous year-long wait following Thanos’ genocidal snap at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, Endgame finally brought to a close the MCU’s 22-film Infinity Saga. Interestingly though, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige recently confirmed that Spider-Man: Far From Home actually ends Phase 3, making it sort of an Infinity Saga epilogue....

The directors of Avengers: Infinity War, Anthony and Joe Russo, offer an update on the editing process of Avengers 4. Plus, they reveal the runtime of the fourth installment will be even longer than the third movie in this particular Marvel Cinematic Universe sub-franchise. Leading up to the release of Infinity War, there has been a great deal of speculation about its final runtime. Neither Marvel nor Disney has released the official Avengers: Infinity War runtime yet....

Eric Stoltz was famously cast as Marty McFly in Back To The Future and shot for over a month before being replaced, but will his footage ever be released? Back To The Future was a project created by Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump) and creative partner Bob Gale, and told the story of a teenager accidentally sent back in time. Zemeckis had always wanted Michael J. Fox for the lead role of Marty, but the actor was busy filming a TV show when production was set to start....

While the comic book movie genre has come a long way since 2008, there are still many fans who count The Dark Knight as the best superhero movie ever made. Christopher Nolan followed up his gritty reboot of Batman with a crime epic that felt sweeping and grounded while introducing the unforgettable version of Joker played by Heath Ledger. The movie is smart, entertaining and thrilling from beginning to end, making it a movie you can revisit again and again....

Fellow Britons, the wait is almost over. iPlayer is finally making its way to the Apple TV. The BBC announced via its official Twitter handle that its popular catch-up and live-streaming service is making its way to the brand new Apple TV in the coming months. The company didn’t confirm exactly when the iPlayer app for new Apple TV would arrive, and from the looks of things, it won’t be coming to the current Apple TV....

BBC America programming will be made available for purchase and download to US iTunes users for the first time, in a strategic move to build cultural bridges across the Atlantic, initiated by BBC Worldwide. “BBC is delighted to provide US audiences with the unique ability to purchase and download select award-winning BBC America programming on the iTunes Store,” said Beth Clearfield, Vice President of Digital Media and Business Development, BBC Worldwide America....

The cliffhanger ending of Avengers: Infinity War could actually have seen the Mad Titan break time apart, with the Avengers striving to save all reality in Avengers 4. The Russo brothers have been quite up-front that Avengers 4 won’t simply be “Infinity War Part II.” While the two movies do have a strong narrative link, “there’s an independence in terms of what the experience is or where the story goes.” The films apparently relate to one another in same way Captain America: Civil War relates to Captain America: The Winter Soldier....

Batman exists in the Arrowverse, but where is he? Gotham City and its watchful protector, Batwoman, will be introduced in the Elseworlds crossover, which is also planned to lead into a Batwoman TV series. But it’s been confirmed that the Dark Knight definitely exists in the Arrowverse as well, although his whereabouts are a mystery. The Arrowverse was built around Green Arrow, with Oliver Queen essentially serving as an alternative to Bruce Wayne....

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson firmly cemented his status as one of the most bankable actors currently active in 2016, but he certainly isn’t resting on his laurels this year. If anything, The Rock is keeping as busy (if not busier) as ever in 2017, between reprising his Fast & Furious series role as Agent Hobbs in this April’s The Fate of the Furious; starring in a revival/soft reboot of the illustrated children’s book-turned family friendly adventure property, Jumanji; and leading the charge on a big screen reboot of the 1990s TV series brand, Baywatch....

Avengers: Endgame’s hilarious commentary on Captain America’s ass almost didn’t make it in the film. The Joe and Anthony Russo’s film started with a bleak and gloomy tone in light of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes’ defeat at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, but things eventually lightened up with the arrival of Scott Lang/Ant-Man, who proposed the idea of Time Heist. That meant that everyone became more optimistic about potentially bringing back all those who died via Thanos’ snap, including Steve Rogers, who arguably had one of the movie’s funniest lines....

Avengers 4 star Sebastian Stan says filming on the superhero sequel may finally wrap up in January. Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 shot back-to-back, making for one epic shooting marathon for Stan and the saga’s other actors. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige has called Avengers 4 a “finale” for the MCU. The so-called Phase 4 of the MCU launches after Avengers 4, with 20 Marvel movies planned. As the first major team-up, 2012’s The Avengers marked a watershed moment in movie history....

As Avengers: Endgame continues to tear up the box office records, fans are still reeling from everything in the movie. While it somehow managed to be a satisfying end to the 22-movie story arc of the MCU, Endgame was a superhero movie like no other. Picking up after the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War, the film spent a lot of quiet moments showing the heroes dealing with their loss. While that was a bold and inspired choice, of course, there was still a lot of action scenes....

Following numerous delays in production and Will Smith’s reluctance to commit to the project, the third installment in the Bad Boys franchise is finally here. The movie is set to premiere on January 17th but will it be as iconic as the previous films? That remains to be seen. So, what’s the film’s synopsis? Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowry (Will Smith) are no longer working together. This is good for Marcus because the last time he was Mike’s Partner, he was shot in the… ummm… never mind....

As the most controversial comic book movie in history, the debates over Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice rage on even years later. The online discussion divided audiences into either loving or hating Zack Snyder’s take on DC’s heroes, instead of discussing it as fans–a problem the Batman v Superman: By The Minute Podcast hopes to change. The questions posed by the movie itself–What does “the American Way” mean today? When does a hero become a villain?...

CW has finally answered the age-old question of whether or not the Dark Knight is in the Arrowverse. With the premiere of Batwoman, our favorite caped crusader has made his way to the small screen and has us excited for what’s to come. Unfortunately, like the CW has been doing since 2012, Bruce has only been teased and has not quite made an onscreen appearance. With the Pilot of Batwoman establishing that Batman has been gone for three years, we have to wonder where Batman has gone....
