UPDATE: In yesterday’s report, I only revealed a handful of key names from the Batman: Hush voice cast. I noticed in the aftermath that some of you still had some big questions, especially with regard to who may be voicing Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. So I did some additional digging and now I’ve got some more names from the cast for you (still no character names, unfortunately). Here are some of the other notable names in the…

If you’re a Batman fan which, let’s be honest, is the equivalent of me saying “If you’re a citizen of earth,” the wait for updates on The Batman has been excruciating. Matt Reeves got the gig almost two years ago, and he has very little to show for it. No casting news, no official title, no release date, no story details or revelation of who the villain will be. Throw into the mix all of the rumors and uncertainty about his supposed leading man, and…

Glass is the conclusion to Unbreakable and Split, two M. Night Shyamalan films that were never suspected to be connected, until they were. A brand new international trailer has been released, which shows off The Beast from Split. This movie is one of my most anticipated releases of 2019. That’s right, a Shymalan movie is right up there with Episode IX and Avengers: Endgame for me. I loved Unbreakable. But I slept on Split, until I was told I must watch it. I’m glad I listened.…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you probably already knew that Netflix cancelled Daredevil recently. While it was somewhat believable that the Netflix Marvel shows would generally continue to push forward back when the only cancellations were Iron Fist and Luke Cage, but the untimely cancellation of what was Netflix’s fourth biggest show makes it hard to imagine a scenario where Jessica Jones and The Punisher aren’t also on their way out the door at the streaming service. After all, when the…

Look, you’ll be hard pressed to find a bigger Kevin Smith fan than me around these parts. His podcasts single-handedly kept me from going to a very dark place. He is the reason I was encouraged to pursue writing opportunities like this one. The dude has had a huge impact on my life, and I am a better person for it. But he also cries a lot. Like all the time. I’m not shaming him. It’s good to…

If you’re a fan of DC on film, then chances are you’re focused almost exclusively on the impending arrival of James Wan’s epic-looking Aquaman later this month. But that’s not to say that there haven’t been some other interesting DC nuggets floating around, for those of you clamoring for as much intel as you can find on your favorite properties. And since things have been admittedly quiet on the hard news front, due to the fact that…

I regret to report the cancellation of a beloved series: Marvel and Netflix’s Daredevil. A month ago or so it was revealed that Iron Fist and Luke Cage were both canceled, this of course occurred shortly after the official announcement of Disney+ and as fans usually do, speculation ran rampant as to why. Now we get news that the series that started it all Daredevil, which was recently pitched for a Season 4, and delivered one of the best seasons of…

Earlier this year, a documentary called I Am Paul Walker aired on television. The makers of that film have now put together an enhanced director’s cut, featuring roughly 30 more minutes of content, which is set to arrive on VOD next week. I Am Paul Walker was made with the blessing and participation of the late actor’s family, and is chock full of home video footage, family photos, and interviews with those who knew and loved him the most.…

Back in April, it was confirmed that well-known actor Randall Park was joining Aquaman during its planned reshoots. While some saw that as a reason for concern, director James Wan was quick to quell concerns about late-stage additions to the production. See, DC fans have grown weary after some drastic changes to the theatrical cuts for Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, and Justice League all led to controversial outcomes. At the time, wan pointed out that Park’s character was always…

I actually wish I didn’t come across this list. The surprises would be a lot more fun if they remained surprises. Alas, it’s the dangers of the job. But it’s okay, I’ll give you the option to look away. Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks The Internet is coming out in a few weeks. The premise has Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) going to the internet for the first time. The trailer shows Vanellope meeing…

Jeremy Renner has had some rather peculiar luck when it comes to big blockbuster franchises. He’s been involved with three massive franchises (Mission: Impossible, The Bourne Legacy and the MCU) and they’ve all yielded unusual results for the actor. In the former two, Renner’s character was introduced as a potential new character to succeed the long-standing original protagonist and neither attempt stuck, although Renner’s character in the Mission: Impossible series did return in Rogue Nation several years ago. Meanwhile Renner’s role as Clint…
