  The DCU Just Sneakily Revealed The Stars Of Its Latest Show

  Surprise reveals can come from anywhere, especially in an age where you can be spoiled by anything from international voice-actor credits to McDonald’s Happy Meal toys. But sometimes an executive just blurts out some information. That’s the case with James Gunn’s counterpart at DC Studios, Co-President Peter Safran. In a broad interview with IGN, he casually dropped two casting choices that we had no idea about.

  39 Years Later, One Star Trek Legend Is Ready To Explore A Brutal Backstory

  Back in 1987, when Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted, one character represented a bold, new step for the franchise. As Tasha Yar, actress Denise Crosby set the tone for TNG, playing a female chief of security on the USS Enterprise. Inspired by the character of Vasquez from Aliens, Next Generation creator Gene Roddenberry, the early TNG writers, and Crosby herself, infused Tasha with strength, bravado, and a very brutal and tragic backstory.

  What Happened To Jason? ’Crystal Lake’s Shocking Sci-Fi Ending, Explained

  Crystal Lake was supposed to make sense of Friday the 13th’s incredibly complicated lore. What began as the quintessential summer-camp slasher has morphed over the decades into a story about immortal zombies, cryogenics, and space travel. Peacock’s new streaming series was supposed to simply set up the twist of the very first movie — that Pamela Voorhees is the murderer — and establish how her deformed son Jason could have survived his initial drowning.

  The Best Neo-Noir You’re Not Watching Is Better Than Ever

  Since the Coen Brothers split up to do their own solo projects, Hollywood has been trying its utmost to fill in the gap that they left. We’ve occasionally seen sparks of Coen-esque brilliance in a handful of indie features, but TV has proven to be where the spirit of the Coen Brothers’ style lives. Noah Hawley’s Fargo series is the obvious first choice, though the FX anthology show was a case of diminishing returns.

  Will There Be More Seasons Of ‘Avatar: Seven Havens’? Books 3 And 4 Are On The Way

  When Paramount first announced the continuation of the Avatar saga with Avatar: Seven Havens, the new series was plagued by the constant threat of an untimely leak. Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender had already been leaked in its entirety, and the same hackers claimed they would do the same with episodes of Seven Havens. Paramount seemed eager to get ahead of that; with two seasons of Seven Havens completed and 26 episodes to think about, that instinct made plenty of sense.

  Why Is ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ Rated R? Producer Reveals The Surprising Reason

  Godzilla Minus Zero upgrades the King of the Monsters in several ways, and one of the more unexpected ones is that it’s the first Godzilla movie to receive an “R” rating in the United States.

  ’VisionQuest’s Most Pivotal Character Relies on Hidden Canon

  WandaVision sparked two spinoffs, Agatha All Along and VisionQuest, and each of those introduced one of Wanda and Vision’s reincarnated twin sons. In Agatha All Along, it was Billy Kaplan (Joe Locke), who went by the generic name “Teen” for the majority of the show but eventually took on the title Wiccan, after his magical powers.

  How The Heck Is Ultron Alive In VisionQuest?

  There are mystery box shows, and then there’s VisionQuest. The new series is the final part of the TV trilogy that began with WandaVision and continued in Agatha All Along — but even though its predecessors ironed out their fair share of enigmas, VisionQuest finds many more to dredge up.

  ‘Resident Evil’ Just Made Box Office History — What’s Happening Next?

  Despite how critically maligned they were, the Paul W.S. Anderson era of Resident Evil films was a massive financial success. The original 2002 film grossed over $103 million against a budget of $33 million, and the last installment made over $314 million on a mere $40 million budget. In comparison, the first reboot attempt, 2021’s Welcome to Raccoon City, had a budget of $25 million and made just shy of $42 million, despite being a much closer attempt at bringing the game narrative to life.
