Last year it was revealed that Melissa McCarthy would be portraying a fake Hela in the upcoming Thor installment, Thor: Love and Thunder. For those that missed Thor: Ragnarok, one of the funnier moments in the film comes when Thor discovers that Loki has been putting on amateur plays about their exploits together, though with a narrative bias clearly in Loki’s favor. Though the play feels mostly like an opportunity for laughs, it acts as an example of what the entire film....

Tim Blake Nelson has joined the cast of Marvel Studios’ The Incredible Hulk, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Former U.S. president Donald Trump is referring to himself as the “superhero” America needs, but such a proclamation isn’t going by unnoticed by The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke. Consisting of three seasons so far with a fourth in the works, The Boys satirizes superhero fiction with a hearty dose of social commentary, all the while spilling copious amounts of blood in often outlandish ways. Antony Starr’s character Homelander, a murderous and corrupt superhero who poses as a kind American hero, has often drawn comparisons to Trump, with Kripke previously admitting that the controversial 45th president has inspired moments from the show....

Back in June, Showtime president David Nevins teased that the highly-anticipated Twin Peaks Season 3 is being eyed to debut sometime in spring 2017. Due to the unorthodox nature of the production this season, which was essentially shot like one large movie, the network wouldn’t confirm how many episodes this new season would be, until after the entire season was cut together. There had initially been reports that the show was eyeing an 18-episode expanded order, which was double the network’s original order, and today that 18-episode order has been confirmed....

With horror cinema of the 1930s and 1940s focusing on monsters and mad scientists, the 1950s saw a shift to more thought-provoking, unsettling horror films. Fears of a nuclear holocaust, foreign invasions, and mutations all made their way into the decade’s horror films. That’s not to say that classic themes like monsters were absent, as numerous creature feature movies in the ’50s built off of the foundation of the previous decades to deliver some truly iconic characters and stories....

There’s a love affair happening with food. How various morsels of nutrition are ingested has become just as pertinent to the process of consumption as what kind of food is being consumed. Indeed, being a foodie is a viable moniker, a characteristic that in some ways also becomes a distinction for individuals. Food and eating, whether it’s breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner can be an experience where depending what’s on the menu, a certain echelon of artistry can be achieved....

Glimpsed battling Wanda Maximoff towards the end of the trailer, which was released by Marvel Entertainment during the Super Bowl, there are many theories regarding who this could be, including an Iron Man variant, Fantastic Four member The Human Torch, and, perhaps most convincingly, the return of Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau....
