The original Avengers team included Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Ant-Man, and Wasp. They first teamed up to stop Loki, Thor’s brother. Later, Iron Man and a new group of heroes formed the most recent Avengers team over 50 years later, starting with *Avengers* Vol. 5 #1.
Recent Marvel movies like *Captain America: Brave New World*, *Snow White*, *Thunderbolts*, *Elio*, *Fantastic Four*, *Freakier Friday*, and now *Tron: Ares* haven’t performed as well as hoped. This is a significant downturn for a studio previously known for consistently successful franchises.
It seems like live-action remakes are incredibly popular right now, particularly for Disney. Universal has also joined the trend with a new live-action take on *How To Train Your Dragon*. When Maggie Kang, the creator and director of *KPop Demon Hunters*, was asked about the possibility of a live-action remake of her film, she shared her thoughts with BBC:
In a recent interview with EW, Marvel executive Kevin Winderbaum revealed more about Josh Hutcherson’s character and how he’ll fit into the Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 storyline involving Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin. He confirmed Hutcherson will play a new adversary for Kingpin, someone with comparable power and influence.
Released in 2019, *Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker* (also known as *Star Wars: Episode IX*) is the final film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Directed and co-written by J.J. Abrams, it follows *The Force Awakens* (2015) and *The Last Jedi* (2017). The film earned over $1.077 billion worldwide.
The new popcorn bucket shaped like the scout ship from the movie *Predator* will likely cost around $40 at Regal and Cinemark theaters. It goes on sale November 7th, and some sources suggest it might be available as early as November 5th.
Honestly, when I heard someone suggest Kubrick directed *All That Jazz*, I was surprised! I always thought of him as this very serious, sci-fi and drama-focused director, and musicals just didn’t seem like his thing. But then I finally watched it, and wow, it all clicked. It totally makes sense now!
Warner Bros. Japan is releasing a new movie next year based on the popular 2004 Japanese light novel *All You Need Is Kill*, written by Hiroshi Sakurazaka and illustrated by Yoshitoshi Abe. The 2014 film *Edge of Tomorrow*, starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt and directed by Doug Liman, was also adapted from this novel.
The sequel, *Now You See Me: Now You Don’t*, brings back the team of illusionists known as The Four Horsemen – including J. Daniel “Danny” Atlas, Merritt McKinney, Jack Wilder, and Henley Reeves – for a new, elaborate scheme. This time, they target a wealthy woman with dangerous connections to illegal arms trading and other criminal activities.
The *Tron* series, if we’re being realistic, hasn’t ever become a massive cultural hit. While it has a dedicated fanbase, much of its appeal relies on fond memories of the original. The first *Tron* movie in 1982 didn’t perform well financially for Disney, which is a big reason why a sequel took almost 30 years to materialize. When *Tron: Legacy* arrived in 2010, Disney hoped that time would bring fans back to the theaters. However, like the recent film *Ares*, *Legacy* didn’t quite succeed because, despite being visually impressive, it lacked a compelling story.
