Supergirl and Avengers: Doomsday: How Well Are They Adapting The Source Material?
2026 is a massive year for comic book movies. We've got a new Spider-Man movie, the Avengers returning to the big screen for the first time in almost a decade and Supergirl/Clayface marking their first solo movies in the new DCU. While Brand New Day and Clayface are only not taking elements from any specific comic book run (it doesn't seem like Spider-Man is adapting many elements from the comic of the same name), the other two in this year's list feature direct adaptations

Golden Globes Reaction: What Does It Mean For Oscars Race?
The 83rd Golden Globe Awards took place last night, awarding the best in both television and film from the past year. There's a few awards shows remaining on the road to the Oscars in March, but the Globes are the last big precursor before we get to the biggest show of them all.

What Can We Expect From The Avengers: Doomsday Teaser?
Two weeks ago, I wrote an article predicting what trailers would play in front of Avatar: Fire and Ash in mid-December. The first movie on that list was Avengers: Doomsday, due to it being the most popular release of next year but also the high likelihood we'd get our first look with James Cameron's epic. That has since been confirmed by multiple reliable outlets and now the anticipation for the first look is really building. There have been some small leaks alongside the cha

Will Avatar: Fire and Ash Feature The Greatest Trailer Package of All Time?
With the film year starting to wind down and awards season kicking into gear, there's only a handful of upcoming releases that feel like big events. Sure, you've got some smaller awards-focused films like Hamnet and Sentimental Value coming up, but the majority of the big blockbusters have already released. The reason for that may be the fact that the biggest box office darling in James Cameron is returning with a new Avatar film in December. On December 19th, Avatar: Fire a
