Downey Jr. is expected to earn around $100 million for his role as Doctor Doom in the upcoming Doomsday and Secret Wars films, according to Puck. This adds to the estimated $500 to $600 million he’s already made from his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and his appeal to audiences was likely a major reason for the large sum.
As much as I love what Marvel’s done with the MCU, I always remember that before all that, 20th Century Fox actually brought the Fantastic Four to the big screen first. Those 2005 and 2007 movies – Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer – were the first widely released, big-budget superhero films based on that team, and they really did something different with the characters. They weren’t part of a larger universe, and honestly, I appreciate them for being unique in their own way.
Sometimes, creatures labeled as ‘monsters’ weren’t naturally malicious – they were either created by circumstance or forced into monstrous roles. There are instances of genuinely good people becoming monsters due to unfortunate events, and even cases where the humans doing the hunting were actually more cruel than the creatures they pursued.

The core of The Drama isn’t actually about the confession itself. While the movie moves quickly and keeps us engaged with the fallout from Emma’s admission, it doesn’t aim to shock us simply for the sake of controversy. Instead, the director wants us to think about how we react to the situation. Beneath the surface of the dramatic events, the film explores the complexities of truly knowing someone, particularly in a relationship – how a big revelation changes our perception of them, and whether we focus on the most important aspects of it.
Even after 35 years, Heir to the Empire is clearly the foundation for today’s Star Wars TV shows, and for good reason. It first introduced the compelling villain Grand Admiral Thrawn and the complex cloning storyline that’s now central to The Mandalorian. But Timothy Zahn’s original trilogy, beginning with Heir to the Empire, continues to stand out because it accomplished what the recent Sequel Trilogy didn’t.

If you loved the previous film by Trachtenberg, you won’t be disappointed.
