Last week, I hoped that Marvel’s first Disney+ series wouldn’t fall into a rut and become tedious, but it’s avoiding that danger already. WandaVision episode 3 – which is called “Now in Color,” as they’re finally titling their episodes – is a significant improvement on episode 2, regaining the momentum that lagged a bit in …

Warner Bros. may be preparing to send up the Bat-Signal. In a recent episode of the Fatman Beyond podcast, hosts Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin said that sources have told them that a revival of Batman: The Animated Series is being discussed.

WandaVision episode 2 transitions from the 50s to the 60s, with a title sequence that’s a spot-on parody of the seminal magic wife series.

It looks like Deadpool will be shifting the target of his meta jokes from Hugh Jackman to Robert Downey Jr. In an interview with Collider while promoting WandaVision, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed that Deadpool 3 will take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that it will be rated R.

HBO Max isn’t the future so much as it is a lifeline. Variety has published the Nielsen ratings for 2020, and they reveal that HBO – the actual premium cable channel – lost 38% of its total subscribers and 52% of those in the highly-valued 18-49 demographic from the previous year. Those losses came as …

Star Wars may be in for some mischief. According to Deadline, Loki creator, head writer, and executive producer Michael Waldron will write that Star Wars movie Kevin Feige is developing for Lucasfilm. Since the reveal that Feige would be playing in Lucasfilm’s sandbox, little else has been mentioned of the film, making Waldron’s involvement the …

Dexter Morgan will be facing a worthy adversary when he returns to television. TV Line reports that Clancy Brown will be playing the villain in the revival of the hit Showtime series Dexter.
