Sebastian Stan will be returning as Bucky Barnes in Thunderbolts, alongside other MCU antiheroes such as US Agent and Yelena Belova. Thunderbolts is suspected to feature an invasion of Wakanda in the hopes of the United States government acquiring vibranium. Bucky Barnes returning to Wakanda in Thunderbolts could finally see him become the White Wolf.
The speculated storyline for Marvel Studios' upcoming Thunderbolts movie could finally see Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes become a new superhero in the MCU. Confirmed to be in development by Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige in July 2022, Thunderbolts will mark the return of several villains and antiheroes from the McU's history, coming together to form a new team under the supervision of Julia Louis-Dreyfus' mysterious Valentina, the Director of the CIA. Not much is yet known about what adventure will unfold in Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts, but seeds may have already been planted, setting up Thunderbolts' dramatic and potentially game-changing narrative.

Sherlock, a modernized take on Sherlock Holmes, will be streaming on Hulu starting March 26 after departing Netflix in 2021. Sherlock saw much success on streaming, but has largely stayed off the major platforms in recent years. Its return to streaming may spark interest in a potential season 5, which depends on the availability of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
The acclaimed BBC show Sherlock has found a new streaming home close to three years after leaving Netflix. Beginning in 2010, the show was a modernized take on the Sherlock Holmes character, with Benedict Cumberbatch playing the titular sleuth and The Hobbit star Martin Freeman taking the role of Dr. Watson. Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, the show won a total of nine Primetime Emmy Awards, as well as a Peabody Award, and ran for four seasons and 13 episodes before concluding in January 2017.

The modern take saw Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role alongside Martin Freeman’s Dr. Watson. Now, over a decade since the show’s debut, Sherlock is coming to Hulu next week.

MCU heroes need to be cautious - even the smallest mistakes can lead to major consequences. Sticking to bad ideas for too long can lead MCU heroes to make big mistakes. Trusting the wrong people can have disastrous consequences - MCU heroes need to be more discerning.
Heroes in the MCU do their best to do the right thing, but they aren't always successful at it. Given the nature of their powers and the type of work Marvel's protagonists do, even the tiniest mistakes can have major consequences - with the franchise providing a solid example of this via Wanda accidentally destroying part of a building and kick-starting the McU's version of Marvel's Civil War. However, Wanda's mistake was more in the heat of the moment, and not based on an actual bad idea. MCU heroes who make the biggest mistakes are the ones who have bad ideas and follow through on them.

Quick Links The Hobbit Films Experienced Many False Starts During Initial Production Some of the Book to Screen Changes in the Hobbit Movies Made Sense, but Many Didn't Peter Jackson's Adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit Didn't Need to Be a Trilogy Due to issues with funding from the studios, the films were massively delayed and caused a change in directors. The Hobbit films suffer from being a trilogy. J.R.R. Tolkien's almost 300-page book simply didn't have enough material for three movies. Some of the changes from book to screen in The Hobbit made sense for the story to tie it into The Lord of the Rings, but much of it felt either like filler or completely unnecessary.

Richard Harris and Michael Gambon introduced distinct yet iconic portrayals of Dumbledore in Harry Potter. While the Fantastic Beasts franchise wasn't as beloved, Law's performance offered a promising albeit flawed depiction of the character. In the end, the best Dumbledore is decided not by style but by substance, leaving the number one choice logical but surprising.
Three actors played the powerful Dumbledore in the Harry Potter universe, and soon, there will be a fourth one when HBO's Harry Potter TV show begins production. J. K. Rowling's legendary book series introduced a fascinating wizarding world where everything is fueled by magic. In a moving battle between good and evil, Harry Potter learns the most important life lesson from Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The character is regarded as one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful wizard in the universe created by Rowling.

Part of what makes The Lord of the Rings so renowned is its characters. Each one of them has a depth that spans ages. Quite literally so for many of them. A good portion of the best-known Tolkien characters are easily several centuries old if not thousands of years. In some rare cases, they are as old as time itself, having been around long enough to witness the creation of the world that would one day become Middle-earth.
Having seen and done so much, then, it's no wonder they are so wonderfully complicated. This poses an important question: which characters in the movies are the oldest? Here is a list detailing some of Middle-earth's oldest residents, as well as a brief history of their deeds and experiences throughout the millennia-long history that J. R. R. Tolkien has gifted his many readers.

SAG-AFTRA is making sure consent over the filming of intimate scenes extends even after the actors leave the set.
The Guild issued new Standards and Protocols guidelines for intimacy coordinators when discussing their on-set work with actors.

Superhero movie characters sometimes go missing, but their return is often well worth the wait. Memorable characters like Killmonger, Harley Keener, and Superman have had significant comebacks. The returns of characters like Professor X, Green Goblin, and Wolverine have added depth and anticipation to superhero movies.
Sometimes the superheroes of the MCU, the Dcu, and beyond see gaps between their on-screen appearances, but these cinematic returns are often worth the wait. The superhero genre has grown to unprecedented heights within the film industry, with the majority of each respective year’s box office take coming from the movies of the MCU or those based on DC properties. However, with such a rich vein of characters in the comics to adapt to the big screen, even the most iconic heroes simply cannot appear in a movie with anything approaching the consistency some might expect.

Ewen MacIntosh, the Welsh actor and comedian best known for his role as Keith Bishop from the accounting office in the British version of The Office, has died at the age of 50.
The cause of death was not immediately known.
“The very funny and very lovely Ewen Macintosh, known to many as ‘Big Keith’ from The Office, has passed away,” show creator Ricky Gervais wrote on X. “An absolute original. Rip.”
The actor played accountant Keith Bishop in The Office and later reunited with Gervais on Netflix series After Life. MacIntosh also had roles in such U.K. comedies as Miranda and Little Britain.
His deadpan performances in The Office quickly made MacIntosh’s Keith an audience favorite. In one popular scene with Martin Freeman, the accountant takes a large bite out of a Scotch egg while his opposite talks about performing a sexual act on himself.

The CW has ordered a new thriller TV series titled Sherlock and Daughter. The Sherlock Holmes reboot will see the world-famous detective explore new and exciting scenarios, including meeting a young lady that may be his daughter.
Per TV Insider, Sherlock and Daughter will be a fresh new take on the perennial detective’s stories. With David Thewlis in the role of Sherlock Holmes, the series will see the classic character step out of his comfort zone, “mysteriously unable to investigate a sinister case without risking the lives of his closest friends.” The show also will introduce Amelia (Blu Hunt), a young American girl whose mother was murdered and suspects that Holmes may be her father. The odd pairing will need to set aside their differences in order to crack the case of a major global conspiracy, while simultaneously trying to solve the mystery of Amelia’s mother’s murder.

Religious hysteria, family secrets and a tinge of the occult make hard times all the harder for protagonists in “Queen of Bones.” This Ontario-shot U.S. indie production is a rural gothic with echoes of both “Flowers in the Attic’s” dark YA melodrama and “Carrie’s” supernaturally vengeful coming of age. But it lacks the bold ideas and execution to approach those stories’ impact, winding up an underwhelming if watchable exploration of familiar themes and character types. Falling Forward Films plans a theatrical release for later this year, though this mild thriller would seem likelier to find an audience in home formats.
Its title oddly prefaced by “Folktales of the Great Depression…,” as if part of a series, Michael Burgner’s screenplay has a chaptered progress whose portentous divisions promise content considerably more shocking than we actually get. Lillian (Julia Butters) and Samuel (Jacob Tremblay) are 14-year-old twins living...

TV shows like Sherlock and The Book of Boba Fett remain in limbo as they are still unconfirmed for new seasons. The Orville and Supernatural have uncertain futures, with no official confirmation of new seasons or cancellations. The Sandman and The Handmaid's Tale have experienced delays, but production on their new seasons has resumed.
Networks have promised fans new seasons for several popular TV shows, but years have passed with no news, despite the shows never being officially canceled. The Covid-19 pandemic and the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have understandably caused some delays, and several shows reassuringly resumed production near the end of 2023. However, others still do not seem to be moving forward.
Shows might be forgotten or indefinitely delayed for a variety of other reasons: The cast or writers are preoccupied with other projects, the previous season had a disappointing reception, or the network/streaming service is overwhelmed with other new releases.

The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies are two of the most beloved and highest-grossing movie franchises in history. Both trilogies were developed from the novels created by J.R.R Tolkien and have grown massively since The Fellowship of the Ring was first released to theaters. The Lord of the Rings trilogy followed Frodo's journey to destroy the titular ring, as well as the battles that raged across Middle-earth, while The Hobbit went back in time, telling the story of how Bilbo Baggins first came to possess the Ring.
With new entries in the Lotr canon arriving lately, such as The Rings of Power and The War of the Rohirrim, it's always the perfect time to revisit the original trilogies. But that brings us back to the age-old question: should you watch the series in chronological or release order? The good news is, whatever your preference, we've got you covered.

Here’s Why We Think Taylor Swift’s Upcoming Album Is About Joe Alwyn! (Picture Credit: Instagram)
Taylor Swift made the 2024 Grammy Awards night more memorable by announcing her new album, The Tortured Poets Department. Meanwhile, her fans speculate it might be about her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. That might be possible as the actor once co-wrote two songs for a pop star, and if we think creatively, poets, thinkers, songwriters, or authors are all creators.
Taylor and Alwyn were together for six years before breaking up last year. Taylor soon found love in Travis Kelce, and the lovebirds are going strong now. Tay is known for writing songs about her former lovers. For example, Dead John was about John Mayer, Style for Harry Styles, Forever and Always for Joe Jonas, Midnight Rain for Tom Hiddleston, and more.

Jenna Ortega stars in a new erotic thriller alongside Martin Freeman, playing an ambitious high school student fixated on her literature teacher. The film is set in modern-day Tennessee but was shot in Georgia, with the director incorporating Memphis Easter eggs into the storyline. Writer-director Jade Bartlett teamed up with Seth Rogen's company to bring the film to life, and she praises the performances of both Freeman and Ortega.

Plot: A creative writing assignment yields complex results between a teacher and his talented student.
Review: I wasn’t sure what to make of Miller’s Girl when I first heard of it. The idea of a teacher falling for a student isn’t exactly new, but there was a mystery present that I appreciated. And it’s honestly, given that subject matter, a very tough film to talk about. The topic is taboo and won’t be for everyone, and the filmmakers really take advantage of that uncomfortably. On a technical side, the film is gorgeously shot and takes advantage of its beautiful sets. Plus, I have a soft spot for erotic thrillers. But this one has very few teeth and is as obvious as they come.

Try not to trip over the tumbleweeds as you step into this box office update. For the third weekend running, the top five movies in domestic theaters will remain unchanged due to the fact that Hollywood, er, isn't releasing any movies right now. The No. 1 spot is a fairly tight race between musical comedy remake "Mean Girls" (estimated weekend total: $6.7 million) and Jason Statham-led action flick "The Beekeeper" ($6.4 million).
There are no new wide releases this weekend. The only film making a theatrical debut is "Miller's Girl," starring Martin Freeman and Jenna Ortega. According to The Numbers, it'll only be in around 500 theaters and is expected to gross less than $2 million.

As she dives deeper into her creative journey, she and Jonathan are pulled into a complicated web of entanglement.

Jenna Ortega's recent films have been receiving negative reviews, beginning a trend of low Rotten Tomatoes scores. Ortega's past movies have had mixed receptions from critics, with alternating success and disappointment. The upcoming film Beetlejuice 2, with Ortega in a prominent role, is expected to be a massive hit and could help improve Ortega's critical reputation.
Jenna Ortega's two most recent films have failed to impress critics, but Beetlejuice 2 will likely turn things around. The actor has become America's most recent sweetheart, with projects like Wednesday (2022) elevating her directly into the spotlight. However, since Scream VI's success in 2023, critic opinion of her more recent movies have been on a downward trend. This could be a cause for concern for the young actor's career, and too many more movies with reviews like Miller's Girl could leave a significant stain on Ortega's resume. However, things are likely to start looking up.

What if you combined movies like Fair Play, Gone Girl, Fatal Attraction, A Teacher, May December and even Fifty Shades of Grey? An artificial intelligence output involving these films might be a sort of erotic thriller about an inappropriate teacher-student rapport on the outskirts of civilization, something like Miller's Girl. It's a sexually charged story that weaves in juicy side plots dealing with the struggles of a writer and maintaining a day job amid tricky circumstances.
It helps that the red-hot Jenna Ortega and seasoned veteran Martin Freeman are around to inject some life in an otherwise underwhelming film. Writer-director Jade Halley Bartlett has an impressive grasp on the technical aspect of her craft, and promises good things for her future. But even the committed turns from Ortega and Freeman can't save Miller's Girl from ultimately flopping due to emotional flatness and a weak ending.
