Marvel’s Eternals is one of the biggest critical and commercial disappointments in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. It had a really talented direector, an incredible cast that included Angelina Jolie, Kit Harington, and Kumail Nanjiani, and one of our favorite weird Marvel comics, created by Jack Kirby. So what went wrong? That’s the subject of our latest ScreenCrush video, which looks back at Eternals, tries to figure out where things went wrong and puts forward a plan that could have changed everything: Making it a Disney+ television series instead of a feature film. We’ll also discuss ...

Thor: Ragnarokand Thor: Love and Thunderwere both from the same director, Taika Waititi, and featured much of the same cast, including Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder. They both have very similar plot structures; they start with humorous recap monologues that lead to big fight scenes followed by a return to Asgard (or New Asgard), when a new villain with a personal beef with Thor is unleashed, then Thor heads to another planet where a comedic secondary villain tries to imprison him, leading to a big battle, an escape, and then an ending that involves Thor making a noble sacrifice to atta...

At CinemaCon this week, Marvel announced a small but significant change to their upcoming movie Thunderbolts. From now on, the official title of the movie is… Thunderbolts.* With an asterisk. Why an asterisk? While Marvel’s Kevin Feige confirmed the new title at CinemaCon, he wouldn’t explain it. “We won’t talk about the asterisk until after release,” he explained. You can see the new title treatment for the film — complete with asterisk — below.

Marvel came to CinemaCon hoping to reassure movie theaters and the media that they have some big things on the horizon. They presented footage from next year’s Captain America: Brave New World, as well as nine minutes of scenes from this summer’s one big Marvel Cinematic Universe project: Deadpool & Wolverine. None of this footage has been released online yet. But ScreenCrush was at CinemaCon, and we’re here to tell you everything they showed. We’ll reveal who the new President of the United States is in Brave New World, how Harrison Ford fits into the MCU, and talk about all nine minutes of D...

Well, that was one heck of an X-Men ’97 episode. This week’s adventure ended tragically, with a cliffhanger that might have involved the deaths of two different X-Men. (We’re just going to hold our breath until next Wednesday and hope for the best.) It also drew on a ton of classic X-Men comics, and carried forward long-standing storylines from the old X-Men: The Animated Series. For the full details on what stories this week’s episode was drawn from, and all of the Easter eggs, references, and little things you might have missed, check out our latest Marvel video below. It takes you through X...

Week after week, X-Men ’97keeps exceeding all of my expectations. What could have been a hollow exercise in ’90s nostalgia has turned out to be a terrific show in its own right: Not just a fitting successor to X-Men: The Animated Series, not just a good cartoon but, at least through its first five episodes, one of the best TV shows Marvel has ever made. The original X-Men cartoon was good for its era, but it was never this good; not narratively, and certainly not visually. This week’s episode, “Remember It,” had everything you could want from an X-Men television series: Epic action, heart-wren...

Joker: Folie à Deuxjust debuted its first trailer, featuring the return of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker and the debut of Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn. This franchise is set in its own separate DC universe, with no other superheroes or villains — at least that we know of so far. But that doesn’t mean the film isn’t indebted to the long history of DC Comics, or that it doesn’t contain references to other movies — especially Hollywood musicals from the Golden Age. For a look at all those references, check out our latest ScreenCrush video, which picks apart the Joker: Folie à Deux trailer, explains what th...

This is not a joke: The Joker sequel is a full-blown musical. The first trailer for Joker: Folie à Deuxis here, and it confirms that the film will feature a Joker (once again played by Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix) with a song in his heart. He will be joined by Lady Gaga, who will play this Joker’s version of his star-crossed love, Harley Quinn. Also returning from the first film is Todd Phillips, Joker’s co-writer and director. The trailer shows Joker and Harley falling in love in a mental institution, and using music and dance to seemingly escape from the horrors of their incarceration. Half...

With Jonathan Majors fired from Marvel, and the next Avengers movie no longer called Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, the company needs to find a new central villain who can be the main threat of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga. Marvel Comics fans have already thrown out some obvious contenders, like Fantastic Four arch-foe Doctor Doom. But the best candidate to replace Kang might be a member of the Fantastic Four: Reed Richards, The Maker. While more casual fans might only know Reed Richards as the FF’s Mister Fantastic, in recent years, a Reed variant from the Ultimate Marvel univ...

While Jonathan Majors could have been sentenced to up to a year in prison for his conviction for assault and harassment stemming from an incident with a former girlfriend in New York City in March of 2023, Majors was officially sentenced today instead to a year of domestic violence counseling. The judge in Majors’ case, Judge Michael Gaffney, said the sentence was due to his lack of prior arrests or a criminal history. Per Variety, Majors “must complete a 52-week, in-person domestic violence programming in Los Angeles, where he currently resides” and “must continue the mental health therapy he...
