In a drastic move, Marvel shockingly fired the X-Men ’97 creator Beau DeMayo on the eve of his project’s debut. Despite being in the midst of a particularly busy time at Marvel Studios, DeMayo was suddenly laid off after his company email was deactivated and his colleagues were informed about his exit from the project.

While Marvel Studios’ decision to fire Beau DeMayo has sent shockwaves through the fandom, this move doesn’t seemingly compare to Fox’s measures in the 1990s. According to reports, in a surprising twist of fate, Fox had taken a critical decision regarding the beloved X-Men: The Animated Series and its crew that still blows people’s minds.

Last year, Jennifer Lopez starred in so-so Netflix actioner "The Mother," in which she sniped her way through wave after wave of bad guys. Unfortunately the film marked yet another moment whereby the streaming age subsumed a former megastar into its nebulous cloud of generic "content." If "The Mother" isn't enough to convince you of such developments, just take a look at "Atlas," the latest Lopez-starring Netflix original film.
It should be said that the trailer for "Atlas" did look promising, but critics certainly aren't too impressed with this sci-fi actioner, which comes from director Brad Peyton ("San Andreas") and also stars Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, and Mark Strong. Lopez plays an AI-wary data analyst who quickly finds herself in a situation where she's forced to rely on a synthetic consciousness to survive a mission gone awry. In a reverse-"Blade Runner" scenario, Lopez's character, Atlas Shepherd, travels to...

When you think of the Star Wars films, George Lucas is the immediate name that comes to mind. The pioneering efforts of the genius filmmaker created a new cinematic revolution in Hollywood that is still seen as the benchmark for all aspiring sci-fi directors today.

But Lucas could well have had competition in this space if popular novelist and screenplay writer David Goyer had gone through with his original script for a Star Wars film. The Man of Steel writer who is also known for his work in other Marvel and DC films, had written a story which was to have been helmed by none other than Guillermo Del Toro, but failed to materialize.

The co-director of 2013’s The Last of Us, Neil Druckmann, first came up with the concept when he was attending grad school. For many years, there was a misconception in the gaming industry that female protagonists slow down game sales but that was proved to be wrong with the success of The Last of Us.
Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us
In a past interview, Druckmann highlighted that his goal was to create Ellie a cool, non-s*xualized female lead character. He has also stated in the past that he hopes other people get inspired by this idea as well but there is one game that may have s*xualised its protagonist to boost sales: Stellar Blade.

One highly anticipated Marvel Studios project that faced issues long before the strikes began is ‘Blade.’ This McU-based film follows Eric Brooks, the iconic vampire hunter from the comics, and serves as a reboot of the immensely popular ‘Blade’ trilogy, which played a significant role in shaping the MCU as we know it today.

While we never got to see Peter losing Uncle Ben in the MCU, which makes sense as it has been done to death in other iterations, No Way Home did leave fans teary-eyed with Aunt May’s demise. Although heartbreaking for sure, this could be regarded as this version of Peter’s canon event, as her death and Nwh‘s ending set the path for a more traditional Spider-Man story moving forward.
However, per new reports, it seems this wasn’t the last of Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May in the MCU, as Spider-Man 4 is reportedly planning to bring her back in some form.

Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" movies are truly the definition of "star-studded." Bleak though "Dune: Part Two" may be, the sequel in particular is packed with big-name actors, from stars Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya to Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, and Javier Bardem. Villeneuve even managed to coax Christopher Walken out of a four-year acting hiatus for his follow-up to 2021's "Dune." All of which amounted to a set that must have been intimidating for even seasoned actors.
Take Dave Bautista, for example. When shooting "Dune: Part Two," the wrestler-turned-actor was particularly intimidated by "Elvis" star Austin Butler, before being surprised at how warm and supportive he was. Even Butler himself admitted to being unnerved by the scale of the production, revealing in a behind-the-scenes clip that he was nervous about the shoot and that arriving on set felt like "the first day of school."

The premise that makes up the plot of Wesley Snipesʼ Blade trilogy is an undisputed winner among all pop culture genres. Vampires and vampire hunters have been a fascination since the days of Bram Stokerʼs Dracula and it is no wonder that every other supernatural lore and mythology deals with the bloodsucking creatures of the night.

Wesley Snipesʼs titular role in the 1998 live-action film further solidified the actorʼs arc as one of the pioneering and underrated Hollywood gems who left behind a legacy with his role as the Daywalker-cum-vampire hunter.

Let’s not beat around the bush; Marvel’s going through something right now. The superhero studio’s recent output has simply exhausted both casual and hardcore fans alike.
The sentiment appears to be close to universal too: amidst the avalanche of MCU content, there have been too few hits and too many misses. The fact that Bob Iger, Disney’s Chief Executive Officer, has publicly said that they’re going to change strategy and “slowly decrease volume” tells you everything you need to know.
So how does Marvel proceed from here? MCU mastermind Kevin Feige is seemingly planning to course-correct by re-assembling the Avengers sooner rather than later. Next year alone will see the release of Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, The Fantastic Four, and Blade, followed a few months later by a new Avengers—previously subtitled “The Kang Dynasty,” though that’s reportedly been abandoned.
It’s a sensible play.

The first two Deadpool movies were proudly R-rated, but when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, fans were concerned that any future appearances from the character would be stuck in the realm of PG-13. Thankfully, Deadpool & Wolverine will be arriving in theaters with its R-rating intact, and no one was more surprised than Ryan Reynolds himself.
While speaking with Fandango, Reynolds admitted he was “surprised” Disney allowed them to be the first R-rated movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “I hope it doesn’t sound condescending, I’m really proud of them for doing this. I think it’s a huge step for them,” Reynolds said. “I mean, it adds a whole other color to this kaleidoscopic wheel that is that company and the different people that they have been entertaining forever.“

Stellar Blade is a pretty solid game and the reception from fans and critics confirms it. Players have now been requesting a few quality-of-life changes and improvements that could make the experience even better.
One of the most requested changes is to make Lily’s completion bar properly visible in the menu at all times. Lily’s Bar is a gameplay mechanic that fills up as you explore the world, complete side quests, get datapads, and fill up other completionist data collections.

Shift Up’s Stellar Blade launched on April 26th this year to a very positive critical and commercial reception. While the game is pretty well made and super fun throughout, there is one explorable area in the game that has been slightly divisive amongst the fanbase.
This area is The Great Desert, filled with quicksand traps that will definitely consume new players without warning, and is one of the two sandbox areas in the game, the other being The Wasteland.
The Great Desert in Stellar Blade is a Bit of a Slog
Will Shift Up tweak The Great Desert area?
Slog being literally, not figuratively, of course. The area is filled with fun side quests and some great world-building, just like The Wasteland.

A month after its launch, Stellar Blade has been in the news for a variety of reasons. While the game has been well-received by the community and critics, some gamers are expressing their discontent with the title. These criticisms range from the depiction of the characters to more technical issues.
The former is a matter of subjective preferences, but the latter is something that directly impacts gameplay. One bug has proven to be game-breaking, and players have taken to X/Twitter to share this issue with the developers, who promised a fix.
Fans Can’t Contain Frustration Due to Stellar Blade Glitch Not all Stellar Blade challenges can be overcome with skill.
Bugs and technical issues are nothing new to the gaming community. This is especially true for new releases, as some rare bugs may not be caught during the testing phase. These bugs could be a few, or they could be numerous.

The rules of cinema imply that you should interest a viewer soon enough unless you want him to drop your movie. There are, however, seemingly perfect opening scenes, which manage not only to attract, but also to introduce you to the characters and the setting in the best way possible.
Here are 5 examples of the most remarkable movie headstarts, voiced by Redditors.
Blade (1998) - The Blood Rave
The first R-rated Marvel movie definitely knew how to stand out among other superhero movies. Blade’s incredibly creative opening sequence shows a clubgoer involved in a secret underground rave, where the sprinklers begin to rain blood down upon the crowd that turn out to be vampires. Then the film’s titular protagonist epically appears and brings order to the club full of monsters.

Pure intentions never come a long way when it comes to achieving stardom in Hollywood. John Wick star John Leguizamo seems to understand that but while the actor may hold a cynical view of the industry due to time spent behind the curtains, there exist some things (perhaps a movie role or odd jobs to pay oneʼs way through surviving as a struggling artist) that he imagines as simply being too awkward to be uttered in public.
John Leguizamo in To Wong Foo [Credit: Amblin/Universal Pictures]Now, sufficient time has passed in the life and career of Leguizamo to serve as a cushion for his criticism, whenever or wherever it may apply. Such a protective cushion frequently comes into use when the actor brings up his fellow co-stars in the industry and serves to spill some tea about their roles that some still view as divisive beyond reproach.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the animated series has an average score of 99% and an audience score of 94%. Clearly, X-Men ’97 was able to revive the superhero genre that has been slowly deteriorating lately.

Martin Scorsese Directed 1 Michael Jackson Song That Also Featured Marvel’s Blade Icon Wesley Snipes
Martin Scorsese is one master storyteller known for his incredible works like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, and the most recent, Killers of the Flower Moon. A filmmaker like no other, Scorsese’s innovative use of camera work, meticulous attention to detail, and thought-provoking narrative makes him stand out from the rest.

A multiple-award-winning filmmaker, it is unusual to imagine that Scorsese would have directed a music video, that too for a pop icon like Michael Jackson. But that is what happened back in the 1980s when he collaborated with Jackson for the music video of his critical hit, Bad, which also coincidentally starred Wesley Snipes.

Right before X-Men '97 launched on Disney+, the trades broke the news that Head Writer Beau DeMayo had been fired from the animated series.
Interviews with the press were cancelled at the last minute and no specific reason for his ousting was ever revealed from official (or unofficial) sources. Making it all the more surprising was the fact Marvel Studios had previously tapped DeMayo to contribute to projects such as Moon Knight and Blade.
Brad Winderbaum, the head of streaming, television, and animation at Marvel Studios, then shared something of a clarification by addressing the situation ahead of the two-episode premiere.
"I can't talk about the details," he admitted, "but I can say that Beau had real respect and passion for these characters and wrote what I think are excellent scripts that really the rest of the team were able to draw inspiration from [to] build this amazing show that's on screen.

Marvel Studios has been tasked by Disney CEO Bob Iger with getting back to quality over quantity. That's why, moving forward, we're getting three movies per year and only two Disney+ TV shows.
We'd bet on Kevin Feige appearing at both the San Diego Comic-Con and D23 to share an updated Multiverse Saga slate, but some updates come our way today courtesy of scooper Daniel Richtman.
We'll start with Spider-Man 4. That's supposedly set to begin shooting this fall, with the plan being for the movie to arrive in theaters as soon as fall 2025. It's a quick turnaround, but very much in line with the wall-crawler's previous solo outings.
Here's where things get really interesting: Richtman adds that the piece of Venom left on Earth-616 at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home will play a role in the movie. Given what a dark place Peter Parker is likely to...

But after The Fantastic Four serves as Marvel’s big summer blockbuster there will be Blade, with Mahershala Ali in the title role, taking over one of Wesley Snipes’ signature characters. But will Snipes step in for a cameo?

IMAX reveals a sizeable list of films coming to the format in 2025: here’s what to expect and when to expect it.
When it was reported around this time last year that Tom Cruise was engaged in a rather ‘spirited’ series of conversations with studio executives regarding Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning's IMAX allocation, it ushered into the foreground a fact that had steadily been emerging over the last few years.
The IMAX technology (and ticket price uplift that accompanies it) has established itself as something of a kingmaker in Hollywood. Studios that can secure the longest IMAX runs for their films can gain a much-needed commercial edge over their rivals.
Such was the case with Dead Reckoning, as the film’s brief IMAX window was surely a factor in it being beaten at the box office by Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, a movie mostly featuring people in rooms talking.

Stellar Blade is a recent PlayStation 5 exclusive developed by ShiftUp, which got a lot of hype from gamers but was also surrounded by controversy for its art style. To pinpoint, the protagonist’s outfit caused the most raised eyebrows, if social media posts are any indication.
A similar controversy also surrounded GTA 5 after its announcement and even when the game was released, resulting in record-breaking sales numbers for its mature themes and elements related to crime. But some games rile up people just the same, if not more, due to their elements.

5 Fan Theories On The Rings of Power Season 2 - Main Image
The first season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power left fans with shocking revelations and cliffhangers. As the dust settled, viewers pondered the implications of Halbrand's true identity as Sauron, the forging of the three Elven Rings of Power, and the intriguing hints about the Stranger’s mysterious nature.
With the trailer for season 2 finally here, there might be answers awaiting in Middle-Earth. So, while we wait, here are a few fan theories that might unfold in the upcoming season.
The Black Sword: Morgul Blade or Gurthang?
One theory popularised by the YouTube channel Nerd of The Rings concerns the true nature of the Black Sword. Many speculate that it could be a Morgul blade rather than a Gurthang. This theory is supported by imagery tied to the First Age, such as the two trees...

Games with swords speak of quiet promises. The moment you see a strong, silent character with a katana in hand, you know they mean business. Die by the Blade hones a neat set of sword skills that can put other games to shame, and tries to raise the bar in combat system design.
Challenging, fun, and addictive, Die by the Blade reflects a game design decision that holds a lot of potential. Unfortunately, due to its limited creative and artistic direction, it feels like an experience worthy of multiple expansions and single-player campaigns that aren’t yet actualized.
Die by the Blade launches on May 16 and arrives on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
A Slash in a Flash; Nothing More and Nothing Less Successful attacks and death animations feel incredibly satisfying.

While 3D cinema had come and gone in popularity, one premium screen that was made popular by Christopher Nolan’s attempt to use the technology is IMAX. Originally, the special cameras and format were meant for nature & science documentaries. The picture quality was unlike any that was seen before in order to capture the immense detail in every facet of the natural life on Earth. Then, Nolan had taken to using it for his blockbuster sequel, The Dark Knight, and crews of camera operators and projectionists would have to learn to utilize the practice for general audience movies.
The format has since taken off and has become a more luxurious and immersive way to watch a movie. This is especially if the film were a special effects-laden narrative that aims to take you on a journey onto a bigger plane. The practice has become more and more common in Hollywood with their big movies,...

Following the global success of Oppenheimer and Dune: Part Two, Imax is looking forward to its biggest ever “filmed for Imax” slate in 2025, including at least 14 titles currently shooting with Imax film or Imax-certified digital cameras, which are due for release next year.
The company said today that the 2025 slate more than doubles any previous year in its history, as Hollywood and overseas filmmakers and studios increasingly create for its platform. (Scroll down for the full 2025 roster.)
The increase in Imax-focused production follows a run of historic box office success for films shot with its proprietary cameras despite its nearly 1,700 commercial locations accounting for less than 1% of total screens worldwide.
Recent highlights include over 20% of the global box office ($190M+) on Universal’s Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan shot the Oscar winner entirely with Imax film cameras. It’s the fifth highest grossing Imax movie of all time.

One Cannes ritual is IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond’s annual press lunch. IMAX is thriving in the global marketplace, with more than 1,700 screens in 90 countries, as audiences continue to recognize and embrace the global brand for giant film and digital cameras and big-screen formats. Helfand announced the company’s upcoming 2025 filmed for IMAX slate (below) while at Cannes, which he believes will break records for the company. Thanks to IMAX believer Chris Nolan‘s global blockbuster “Oppenheimer,” IMAX performed at peak capacity with over $1 billion in revenue in 2023, matching the company’s 2019 pre-pandemic record.
IMAX delivered 20% of the global box office for “Oppenheimer” — shot entirely with IMAX film cameras — and more than $190 million worldwide, making it the fifth highest grossing IMAX film of all time. IMAX also delivered 21% of the global box office for “Dune: Part Two” — shot entirely with IMAX-certified digital cameras — and over $145 million worldwide, making it the seventh highest.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is bustling with numerous upcoming projects set for release over the next few years. Among them is the highly anticipated ‘Blade’ reboot, intended to introduce the iconic vampire hunter from comic book lore into the MCU.
Mahershala Ali spearheaded the project and is set to portray the titular vampire hunter. Initially slated for a 2023 release, the film’s debut has been postponed to 2025 (thus far) due to Ali’s dissatisfaction with the screenplay.
A few weeks back, we talked about some big rumors saying Wesley Snipes might be back as Blade. Lots of fans got excited because, for them, he’s still the best vampire hunter. The rumor even said he’d be in several projects as part of the Multiverse Saga.
Now, Snipes caught wind of the rumor and had a funny response that might just shut it down.
Whuhuuuut? https://t.co/B...
