Squid Game: What Could Season 2 Look Like?

This Squid Game article contains MAJOR spoilers. Squid Game is one of the best original series to come to Netflix in a long time. The story of a deadly competition in which 456 people try to win ₩45.6billion ($39 million) in a series of life-or-death children’s games, the class parable is as devastating to watch as it is addicting and, should it do well, there’s a chance Netflix could greenlight another season of the Korean drama. While there has been no official word yet on if a second season will happen, given Netflix’s growing presence and investment in Korea, it’s…

Could a Walking Dead Negan Sequel Happen?

If there’s a clear theme permeating the early, Alexandria-focused episodes of The Walking Dead’s extended eleventh and final season, it’s that Negan seems to be a dead man walking. While proving useful since he was freed from years of incarceration, his survival seemingly hinges on sticking with a group whose leadership still carries traumatic memories of his many sins, notably the night he—with a cruel comedic flair—brutally bludgeoned their loved ones to death with a barbed-wire baseball bat. However, Jeffrey Dean Morgan seems intent on continuing to play the character beyond the show’s endpoint, despite his diminishing chances. Morgan has…

Black Widow Lawsuit Fallout Could Cost Marvel More Than Money

Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow lawsuit was predicted to have major ramifications for Disney, Marvel and Hollywood itself when details of it first emerged at the end of July, and the legal action already appears to have had a domino effect on Marvel’s future movies. The extent of Johansson’s unhappiness with the treatment of her solo Marvel blockbuster was crystal clear when she decided to sue Disney over breach of contract after Black Widow debuted in theatres and on the Disney+ streaming service at the same time. The actress said she had been given a “guarantee” from Disney that the film…

Could Green Lantern Enthusiasm on Netflix Finally Will a DCEU Movie Into Existence?

It’s a miracle akin to the ring itself: 2011’s Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, has shot up to the top of Netflix’s Top 10 U.S. Movies list just two days after dropping on the streaming service. It’s at #3 as of this writing, with way more viewers likely to stream it over the weekend. While this may come as a surprise to those who first watched the film in theaters in 2011, interest in a Green Lantern movie has never been stronger. Despite his much maligned debut on the big screen, Green Lantern remains one of the…

Could The Walking Dead: World Beyond Jadis Casting Set Up the Rick Grimes Movies?

Anne a.k.a. Jadis (Polly McIntosh) has come a long way on The Walking Dead. First introduced as a quite literal garbage person in The Walking Dead season 7, Jadis received the honor of being the character that brought Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) to safety so that he could live another day…and get his own spinoff movie franchise. Now the character is on to big things once again. AMC announced today that actress Polly McIntosh will return to the franchise and reprise her role as Jadis in The Walking Dead: World Beyond season 2. They also released a new trailer with…

How Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ Inclusiveness Could Conquer the World

Looking at Destin Daniel Cretton’s filmography, he would appear to be an unlikely candidate to helm a Marvel film, especially one as pivotal as the first fresh installment of MCU Phase 4. Cretton has directed five feature films previously, all of which are real-life dramas, three being based on books, with two of those being memoirs. These seem a far cry from comics, but Cretton has a deep Marvel connection – Captain Marvel no less. Cretton’s second film, Short Term 12, was the first leading role for Carol Danvers herself – Brie Larson.  His following films, The Glass Castle and Just…

Link Tank: Could Donnie Yen’s Rogue One Character Return?

Could Donnie Yen’s fan-favorite Rogue One character Chirrut Îmwe make a return to Star Wars? “There is a lot to love about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The 2016 film brought us a look into characters who weren’t our original trio and weren’t destined for something greater in the larger Star Wars universe. They saved the galaxy and gave their lives to do so, and I will always hold this film close to my heart.” Read more at The Mary Sue Can’t make it out to a theater to see Shang-Chi?

Marvel Announces New Projects That Could Tease MCU Future, Avengers 5 Title

If you want to know what the future of the MCU looks like, just look at what Marvel Comics is publishing right now. As a general rule, whatever is being prioritized in Marvel’s publishing wing is usually a good indicator of which way the wind is blowing for their Marvel Studios counterparts over the next few years. Sometimes this takes the form of which storylines are suddenly being reprinted in prestigious collected editions, while others it’s about the launch of new series which position old characters, titles, and trademarks in prominent ways. Whether it’s Sam Wilson becoming Captain America or…

Peaky Blinders: Aunt Polly Bonus Scene Could Point the Way for the Character’s Future

Warning: contains spoilers for Peaky Blinders season five. Polly Gray, Shelby Company treasurer, Romani Queen and clairvoyant witch, is the fabric of Peaky Blinders. The glamorous, redoubtable Shelby matriarch is a matchless creation. Sharp-tongued and sharply tailored, Polly gets all the best lines and all the best looks. She’s an integral part of the family’s stratospheric ascent, having run the bookmakers while the boys were fighting in France, and continuing to run things ever since at Tommy’s side (or just as often, at his throat). She drips wit, shoots rapists, twists mafiosos around her little finger, scares the shit out of abusive nuns,…

Skyfall Screenwriter Fears Amazon Could ‘Drain’ James Bond of Life

Screenwriter and producer John Logan has been around the Hollywood block. He cut his teeth in the 1990s on projects exactly about how Tinseltown can apply pressure on creative ambition—writing the first movie about the making of Citizen Kane with RKO 281—and he reached major success with credits on Gladiator and The Aviator. Yet if you asked him today which projects meant the most, he might say it was his James Bond contributions, Skyfall and Spectre. Indeed, Logan appears to be feeling particularly concerned about 007 these days following the industry-shaking news that tech giant Amazon is purchasing MGM. Unto…

Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho Could Be the Giallo Horror We Wanted from Suspiria

The new trailer for Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho begins with Thomasin McKenzie staring at a marquee billboard for Sean Connery’s fifth James Bond movie, Thunderball. For both her and audiences, it immediately lets us know we’ve been transported into a distant—and often romanticized—past. Yet instead of Bond, the actual tone of auteur Wright’s new film evokes an entirely different style: one as trippy as the fractured image of Anya Taylor-Joy staring back at McKenzie in the mirror. Last Night in Soho has been the long anticipated and mysterious thriller Wright and Focus Features have been teasing out for…

Could Sucker Punch Become the Next Justice League Snyder Cut?

Sucker Punch, Zack Snyder’s sexified 2011 action-fantasy mashup, hit shortly after the director had come off his ambitious (although reliably divisive) movie adaptation of Alan Moore’s groundbreaking Watchmen comic title. With the director having notably made waves behind the camera for 2004’s Dawn of the Dead and 2006’s 300, Snyder’s perceived genre gravitas—and imagery of scantily-clad women with swords and guns—was a clear selling point. While the film flopped, a recent reveal has, curiously, ignited fervor for a Sucker Punch Snyder Cut. Snyder’s attention at the moment clearly centers on the premiere of Netflix film Army of the Dead, which…

How Shang-Chi Could Make Up for Doctor Strange’s Ancient One Whitewash

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is clearly being positioned as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next premiere tent-pole, as a walk through the action-figure-teeming toy aisles of mass retail stores now proves. Notwithstanding what that means for the next immediate MCU movie event, the July premium streaming premiere of Black Widow, the fact that Marvel and its Disney-powered marketing machine is supporting Shang-Chi to this extent is a sign of the film’s importance to the overall MCU. It’s a notion that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige affirms with a key contrition about a pertinent past controversy. September’s Shang-Chi…

Batman: Caped Crusader Could Be the Spiritual Successor to The Animated Series

Batman: The Animated Series is often lauded as the best encapsulation of the Bat mythos ever put on screen. And for good reason: no other movie or TV show has ever captured the essence of the Dark Knight quite like the noir-inspired ’90s cartoon that turned Gotham into an art deco nightmare full of criminals, monsters, and laughing fish. That series, which was spearheaded by Bruce Timm, Eric Radomski, Paul Dini, and Alan Burnett, went on to spawn a whole universe of animated DC TV series, including Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League Unlimited, and others. It also…
