Starting his career on television, Chris Hemsworth managed to become one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry after the massive success of Marvel’s The Avengers. Hemsworth is synonymous with his MCU role as Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, despite giving memorable portrayals in films like Extraction, Cabin in the Woods, Rush, and many more.

The actor’s career is full of smash-hit blockbuster films, that add to his stardom and massive fan following. However, there is one film that left a dent in his stellar acting career that too right after he catapulted himself into new heights of stardom. The film is none other than the 2012 film, Red Dawn, which is often called as the most meaningless remake in the history of Hollywood.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Godzilla director Gareth Edwards will now take the helm of Universal Pictures' latest Jurassic World movie, but David Leitch was briefly attached to direct before deciding to part ways with the project.
At the time, we were told that Leitch stepped away after coming to the realization that his "creative input would be minimal due to the project’s fast-tracked status," and the filmmaker has now elaborated on his reasons for bailing on the film.
“We have the privilege of choice and that’s daunting,” he explained during an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “And it’s true though, and we’ve kind of earned it, in terms of the movies that we’ve made and the successes they’ve had, and hopefully continued success, but to be asked to be in those worlds, you want to take those conversations seriously,...

When Russo Brothers Almost Quit On Captain America: Civil War (Photo Credit –Instagram/IMDb)
Captain America: Civil War beautifully set the stage in a way for the Avengers: Infinity War. When Tony Stark reveals to Bruce Banner that the Avengers have broken up, Bruce innocently questions him, “Like the Beetles?” It generated a lot of laughs in the theatres, but that might not have been possible if Marvel’s Creative Committee stopped the Russo brothers from pitting Tony and Steve Rogers against each other in the 2016 movie.
Civil War was directed by the director sibling duo Joe Russo and Anthony Russo and featured most of the Avengers. However, Thor and Hulk were not part of the film. It featured Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch,...

Yesterday evening, the news broke that Black Bird and Cruella star Paul Walter Hauser has joined the cast of Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four.
It's another exciting and impressive addition to the reboot, though there was no word in the trades about who he's playing. The voice of H.E.R.B.I.E. is one possibility, though Mole Man is another suggestion which is being batted about online.
Hauser would be a great choice for a sinister new take on the baddie. Plus, with a story which takes place in the 1960s, using Mole Man as a supporting villain is a, well, fantastic way to pay homage to the team's first comic book appearance.
While he stops short of confirming Hauser has been cast in the role, Jeff Sneider (via The InSneider) is reporting that the current script for The Fantastic Four opens with Marvel's First Family defeating Mole Man.

Kate Hudson has starred in several interesting projects that catapulted her to fame. Initially getting her breakthrough in the 2000 project, Almost Famous which also bagged her numerous awards, she showcased her versatility with other projects like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Bride Wars, and The Skeleton Key.
Kate Hudson’s look in her recent film Glass Onion
Given that her portfolio has covered quite different projects so far, she recently expressed her opinions that she feels herself to be well suited to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

After a distinguished film career that began at age 10, Scarlett Johansson finally became an Academy Award nominee, earning a Best Actress nomination for her performance in “Marriage Story,” as well as being nominated as Best Supporting Actress for “Jojo Rabbit.” (Johansson is only the 12th actor in Oscar history to manage that feat.) But don’t feel too sorry for her: since 2018, she has reigned as the world’s highest-paid actress, and, with her films having grossed $14.3 billion worldwide, she is the third highest-grossing box-office star of all time.
Her tally of awards and nominations also make an argument for her being one of the best actresses of her generation. Johansson has been nominated for five Golden Globe Awards, three SAG Awards and has won a BAFTA Award from four nominations. (And she is nominated for all three of those awards this year.) But her acting prowess is not just limited to films.

As Kyle Bradstreet’s Secret Invasion reaches its halfway point, the spy series is surprising us in more ways than one. It’s not just the shocking death of Emilia Clarke’s G’iah and the well-signposted reveal that Don Cheadle’s James “Rhodey” Rhodes is a Skrull that make Episode 3 worth a watch. Somehow, Secret Invasion has done the almost unthinkable and made us reconsider Iron Man 3.
Up there with Alan Taylor’s Thor: The Dark World and (more recently) Chloé Zhao’s Eternals, Shane Black’s 2013 threequel is often held as one of the ‘worst’ Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. While even a bad MCU outing usually fares better than an average DC movie, Iron Man 3’s reception hasn’t exactly improved over the years. With botched villains, a bizarre push to release in 3D, and That Mandarin twist, it’s taken a...

Surprises and secrecy are parts of the playground that the Marvel Cinematic Universe partakes in when they have a wealth of actors and characters at their disposal. This is especially true when they have certain legacy characters making official introductions into upcoming studio projects. Fans have films involving the Fantastic Four and the X-Men to look forward to in the future. The film rights to The Hulk have also recently been made exclusive to the MCU, which is why Edward Norton’s 2008 MCU contribution, The Incredible Hulk, is finally made available on Disney+.
While projects like Secret Invasion and The Marvels are at the current forefront of the brand, Doctor Strange may also be appearing in some shape or form soon as Benedict Cumberbatch teased that he will be working with Marvel next year, according to Deadline. The Multiverse of Madness star recently appeared as a guest on the JW3 Speaker Series,...

Not much happens in the third episode of Secret Invasion, but “Betrayed” is easily the best instalment of the Marvel show yet. The show got off to a messy, uneven start, but after a much-improved second episode it seems to have hit its stride here, as the relationships between the main players gel together and the fraught nature of their history deepens. This episode also has some of the best lighting and composition I’ve seen in the MCU to date.
In “Betrayed”, little time has passed since the “Nick Fury has a wife!” twist at the end of last week’s episode. To be clear, we’ve known Nick had a wife since Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but we didn’t know she was a Skrull. Their marriage is naturally a mess, with Nick having been thought dead for five years during The Blip,...

This post contains spoilers for "Fast X."
Walking out of Louis Letterier's "Fast X," you may find yourself reminded of the sensation you felt leaving Denis Villeneuve's "Dune," when it became abundantly clear that, despite that film's title, only half of the story was being told. Fans knew long in advance that both stories would be split across multiple films, but it's one thing to read about that beforehand and another to viscerally experience it when the credits begin to roll.
Still, even though the Fast and Furious movies frequently flout the laws of physics in a way some may argue borders on science fiction, I'd argue "Fast X" actually shares much more DNA with Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Infinity War" than it does with Villeneuve's epic. "Infinity War" and "Fast X" were both billed as the first of a two-part conclusion (or is "Fast X" now the first of a three-part conclusion?...

Superheroes are nothing without great villains to battle against – and the Marvel Cinematic Universe debuting (proper) his major new Multiverse Saga villain.
It’s a brilliant performance and a promising sign of more dastardly deeds to come – but where does it sit in the pantheon of MCU villains? Empire counts down the best baddies from Marvel’s shared universe so far – who we either love to hate.
15) Zemo
If we were going by Captain America: Civil War alone? Then Zemo would be way up this list – a defiantly human villain who uses his own smarts, the simmering resentments underlying Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and a bombshell historical revelation around Tony Stark’s parents’ death to tear our Marvel favourites in two. He also drowns someone upside down in a sink, which is brilliantly horrible. But then along came The Falcon And The Winter Soldier. Turning Zemo back into a Baron...
