Bucky Barnes has been part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for well over a decade, but his future in the franchise suddenly looks a little less certain. And no, this isn’t because Marvel has announced anything about the character. It’s actually because Sebastian Stan himself doesn’t seem to know what’s coming next. Stan, who first appeared as Bucky in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, has revealed that Marvel Studios hasn’t contacted him about Avengers: Secret Wars yet. The film, currently scheduled to arrive in December 2027, is expected to be one of the biggest entries in the MCU’s Multiverse…

Dayle’s fate in Animals, Ben Affleck’s Netflix thriller, could have turned out quite differently. Gillian Anderson has revealed that she and Affleck talked about changing the ending so viewers wouldn’t know for sure whether Dayle survived. It would have been a much more elusive way to end her story, leaving audiences with questions and possibly giving the filmmakers room to bring her back later. But that version never made it to the screen. Speaking to ScreenRant, Anderson confirmed that they did consider leaving Dayle’s fate open to interpretation, though there’s no secret alternate cut waiting to be released. The version…

Mike Flanagan has finally shed light on where his upcoming Exorcist film—starring Scarlett Johansson—fits into the legendary horror franchise’s timeline. Set several decades after 1990’s The Exorcist III, the new movie aims to carve out its own path while still leaving the door open for ties to legacy characters. Speaking in an interview during New York Comic Con, Flanagan confirmed that the film takes place in the present day and acknowledges the events of William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist III. However, he emphasized that established franchise lore won’t drive the plot. Partnering with Blumhouse, Atomic Monster, and Morgan Creek Productions,…

Game of Thrones is obviously remembered for its giant battles, shocking deaths and twists that left viewers staring at the screen wondering what just happened. But some of the show’s best moments didn’t need any of that spectacle. Tyrion Lannister’s trial in Season 4, Episode 6, “The Laws of Gods and Men,” is a perfect example. It’s mostly Peter Dinklage standing in a room and talking, yet the scene becomes one of the most intense moments in the entire series. The Trial Was Never Really About Justice Tyrion is accused of poisoning Joffrey Baratheon, even though the audience knows he…

The Season 1 finale of HBO’s Lanterns does more than finally solve the mystery surrounding Hal Jordan’s murder. By bringing Hal’s story to an emotional end and putting John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) in a position to carry the Green Lantern legacy forward, the series quietly changes the direction of the larger DC Universe. After spending eight episodes dealing with grief, cover-ups, and a murder mystery in small-town America, Lanterns ends with John becoming something much bigger: Earth’s main Green Lantern. That also gives the character a pretty direct path into James Gunn’s upcoming Man of Tomorrow. Instead of introducing John…

The Season 1 finale of HBO Max’s Lanterns, titled “Dirt and Stars,” finally gives viewers the answers they’ve been waiting for. After spending the season treating Hal Jordan’s death like a grounded murder mystery, the show reveals that the truth is much more personal than some giant cosmic villain being responsible. The finale also digs deeper into the Manhunter mythology, gives John Stewart a defining moment of his own, and leaves the door wide open for where the DC Universe could take these characters next. The Truth About Hal Jordan’s Death The mystery surrounding Hal Jordan’s death comes to a…
