Jai Courtney Confirms He's Returning For James Gunn's Suicide Squad 30 Mar, 2019 Suicide Squad actor Jai Courtney has confirmed that his character, Captain Boomerang, will indeed be returning for James Gunn's upcoming sequel, The Suicide Squad. As the movie's title suggests, this will be as much a soft reboot as a sequel, focusing largely on a new group of villains as they're rounded up to reluctantly form a crime-fighting team. Other returning characters include Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, and the sharpshooter assassin Deadshot - though the latter won't be played by Will Smith this time around. Due to scheduling conflicts preventing Smith from taking part in the sequel, Idris Elba is in talks to replace him as the character. Other DC villains that are expected to feature in The Suicide Squad's team include King Shark, Peacemaker, Polka Dot Man, and Ratcatcher, and Gunn reportedly wants Guardians of the Galaxy actor Dave Bautista to play Peacemaker...

Avengers: Endgame Projected To Break Worldwide Box Office Record 30 Mar, 2019 Avengers: Endgame is projected to shatter the all-time worldwide opening weekend record by bringing in more than $800 million in its debut. The Marvel Cinematic Universe had humble beginnings in the early days of Phase 1, but the franchise's profile grew exponentially after the original Avengers came out in 2012. That film grossed $1.5 billion at the box office and firmly established the MCU as one of today's premier movie properties. In the seven years since, Marvel has only grown in prominence, successfully making hit films out of obscure and second-tier characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man. With the release of Captain Marvel earlier this month, the MCU is now past the $18 billion mark globally and that figure will substantially rise in the next month. April sees the premiere of Avengers: Endgame, sequel to the $2 billion smash Infinity War. Already, Endgame is tracking to bre...

Marvel's The Eternals: What Angelina Jolie Could Look Like As Sersi 30 Mar, 2019 New fan art for Marvel's The Eternals movie imagines what Angelina Jolie would look like as Sersi. Earlier this week, it was reported that Jolie is in talks to star in The Eternals, though the details of her role is currently unknown. If the news is true, it would be Jolie's first role in a superhero movie. With Marvel's current slate of films wrapping up this year with Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far from Home, Marvel and Disney are looking to the future with three new franchises: Black Widow, The Eternals, and Shang-Chi. Directed by Chloe Zhao and written by Matthew and Ryan Firpo, The Eternals is expected to send viewers back thousands of years into the past and could end up serving as a prequel to the MCU. Fan artist BossLogic has posted new art on Twitter which features Jolie as Sersi, a key member of the Eternals and the character that many believe Jolie would play. Rumors ...

Charlie's Angels Shifts Release Date To Avoid Terminator: Dark Fate 30 Mar, 2019 Sony has moved its Charlie's Angels reboot back to avoid opening on the same day as Paramount's Terminator: Dark Fate. The Charlie's Angels brand kicked off with the original TV series in 1976, and revolves around a team of female super-detectives who report to their enigmatic boss, Charlie Townsend. The Terminator, meanwhile, got started in 1984 with James Cameron's sci-fi action-thriller of the same name. The Terminator and Charlie's Angels franchises have seen their ups and downs over the years, to put it mildly. As a result, the former is going back to the drawing board with Dark Fate, which will ignore the last three Terminator movies and serve as a direct continuation of Cameron's sequel, Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Similarly, Charlie's Angels will attempt to revive the property sixteen years after the last film, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, proved to be a...

Sex and the City TV Follow-Up Being Developed by Paramount TV 29 Mar, 2019 The author of Sex and the City is ready to enrich a new generation of women with a follow-up of her iconic novel coming to Paramount Television. The new novel, Is There Still Sex in the City?, penned by Candace Bushnell, dissects friendship, dating, and sex after 50 in New York City. Paramount Television and Bushnell have made it clear that the plot is not a direct follow-up to the lives of characters Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha. Released in 1997, Bushnell’s Sex and the City novel was scooped up by show creator Darren Star to become a groundbreaking, award-winning and legendary series for HBO. Starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, and Kim Cattrall, the show follows four friends as they navigate life and tackle relevant issues such as sexuality, promiscuity, and femininity. Sex and the City provided a platform for discussion of tough issues and relatability for its aud...

Swamp Thing: Matt Ryan Wants Constantine to Appear on DC Universe Series 29 Mar, 2019 Matt Ryan reveals that he wants to play John Constantine in the upcoming DC Universe series Swamp Thing. Constantine first appeared in The Saga of Swamp Thing #37 in 1985. Created by Alan Moore, Stephen R. Bissette, and John Totleben, Constantine is an anti-hero appearing in DC Comics who often goes up against supernatural forces. Keanu Reeves played the character in a 2005 film, but Ryan is the current actor taking on the role. Ryan stepped into the role of Constantine in 2014 when NBC came out with their live-action version of the character. Unfortunately for fans, Constantine was canceled in 2015 after only one season. However, Ryan did return to the role for a crossover episode on Arrow in season 4, and is now a recurring character on Legends of Tomorrow. Ryan has also voiced Constantine in the animated movies Justice League Dark and Constantine: City of Demons The Movie, as well as the animat...

Big Bang Theory Passes Cheers As Longest Running Multi-Cam Sitcom 29 Mar, 2019 The Big Bang Theory knocks out Cheers to become the longest-running multi-cam sitcom. Debuting in 2007, the hit CBS show centers around a group of nerdy friends living in Pasadena. As the years went by, fans have grown to love Sheldon (Jim Parsons), Leonard (Johnny Galecki), Penny (Kaley Cuoco), Howard (Simon Helberg) and Raj (Kunal Nayyar), and eventually Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) and Amy (Mayim Bialik), but despite continued popularity, the series' current season 12 will be its final after Jim Parsons' reluctance to return for another year. However, before it bows out, the project has nabbed another accolade to the delight of its fans. NBC's Cheers debuted in 1992 and ran for 11 brilliant seasons with 275 episodes. The Good Place's Ted Danson played the lead role Sam Malone - a former baseball player and ex-alcoholic who owns the titular bar "where everybody knows your name."...
