[Update: Trusted Variety reporter Justin Kroll now has sources refuting this report that everything is terrible over inThe Batmanland: That new script is likely the one rewritten by Oscar-winningArgoandJustice LeaguescribeChris Terrio, so maybe possiblyThe Batmanisn’t being thrown out entirely after all. Our original story follows below.] Like with pretty much all of its DCEU movies, Warner Bros. isn’t having an easy time withThe Batman. At the end of January,Ben Affleckdecided he would not directthe superhero film, although he remains on board to star and produce....

There could never be the argument that the world is in short supply of teen dramas. FromCluelesstoJunothere’s been a huge variety of the teenage perspective over the last thirty years, filled with angst and rebellion. But while some are unquestionably better than others, there can be no denying that each one serves its purpose in reaching out to those awkward teens and reassuring them that yes, we’ve all been there. However, despite what once may have been a novelty or a passing attempt at being cool, you may have noticed a far more progressive understanding of what young adults are facing....

[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersforThe Boys, Season 2, Episode 5, “We Gotta Go Now."] What you first think about when you consider this episode ofThe Boysprobably says a lot about you as a person. Is it all the very on-point details about what it’s like to make a big-budget blockbuster? The first appearance of Terror, Billy Butcher’s faithful bulldog and a Very Good Boy? Or is it Stormfront telling Homelander to “laser my fucking tits”?...

Ron Howardhas built one of the most unique filmographies in Hollywood history, to the point where he’s made a movie for every type of audience.Backdraftwas a classic 90’s thriller that mostly thrived thanks toKurt Russell’s immeasurable talent,Solo: A Star Wars Storymanaged to be a solid movie despite Howard taking over a tumultuous production, andThe Da Vinci Codekicked off a franchise that onlygot progressively dumber with each entry. Yet there’s one film that gave him a particularly hard time: the 1988 fantasy adventureWillow....

Sylvester Stalloneis back in Barney Ross mode, as the actor shared some new photos and a video from the set ofThe Expendables 4, which is currently in production. The action franchise has remained dormant since 2014’sThe Expendables 3before the fourth installment wasannounced in August. Stallone’sInstagrampost contained three pictures and one video, in which he revved up a hot rod while chomping on a cigar. And if that doesn’t serve as an instant call-to-action for the franchise’s target audience, then quick glimpses at Stallone’s co-starsDolph LundgrenandJason Stathamcertainly will....

Even with recent additions like Adam Warlock (Will Poulter)and Phyla (Kai Zen),The Guardians of the Galaxyhave never been nearly as powerful asthe Avengers' fully-stocked line-up, which is why it’s still baffling thatMarvelhas actually confirmedKevin Bacon’s biggest fanscould have easily beaten one of the team’s first planet-level threats. Specifically, in a deleted scene fromAvengers: Endgame, Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) mocks the team for taking hours to defeat the Chitauri lent to Loki (Tom Hiddleston) to invade Earth inthe first Avengers movie, implying it is common knowledge in the galaxy that taking out the Chitauri’s mothership destroys the army....

This concept is truly so perfect, I don’t know why it hasn’t been conceived of before. Or if conceived of, never drawn. Maybe because it’s just too beautiful? Too perfect? Why am I crying? There have been rumors here and there of a new adaptation ofThe Legend of Zeldastory (including alive-action versionon Netflix), but ever since that terrible 80s cartoon and the nuclear miss of 1993’s Super Mario Bros movie, Nintendo has been reticent to allow further adaptations....

With directorDavid Leitch’sHobbs & Shawnow playing in theaters around the world andIMAX, a few days ago I got to talk toDwayne Johnsonabout the movie. Since he’s done plenty of talking about the action scenes and why he wanted to make theFast & Furiousspinoff, I had one goal when I sat down with him: to have fun and make him laugh. To make that happen, I decided to ask a number of questions pitting Hobbs against Shaw: Who ruined the most takes, who has more hair, and who is faster at learning their lines, and more....

These announcements were nothingcompared to thebombshell revelationthat the actor playingThe Fantastic Four’s primary antagonist would beRobert Downey Jr....

How many of you remember seeingInceptionin theaters? It was great, right? As much as I have my issues with howChristopher Nolanstructures his movies and avoids truly lacerating emotions, his abilities as a visual artist are not easy to deny. Inception is almost impressively dull and surprisingly predictable as written by Nolan but is also given ample dazzle by the filmmaker’s vision, shaped in concert with his work with the talented DPWally Pfister....

For the uninitiated, Syfy’sWynonna Earpis a combination elements that made its genre forebears so great — it’s a sci-fi Western a laFirefly(though it is terrestrially-based), there’s a kickass female Chosen One who must slay a host of monsters likeBuffy, and the show’s family and team dynamic is strongly reminiscent ofGrimm. Yet as dedicated Earpers know, theWynonna EarpthatEmily Andrashas wonderfully adapted is also unique in its whip-smart dialogue and oodles of charm, as Wynonna herself (the unmatchedMelanie Scrofano) continues to battle demons in the town of Purgatory and fulfill her destiny as the Earp Heir....
