Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel was the first step in Zack Snyder’s vision for the Dcu. The director brought it a unique and tonally dark film exploring Clark Kent’s evolution into becoming more human and his past catching up to haunt him. The dark and somber tone of the film left fans divided although Cavill’s impressive performance as Superman was praised.

Over the years, the film has managed to find more love, and the deconstruction of the character by Snyder has been lauded. The admiration of Snyder’s work has seeped into the MCU with Chloe Zhao taking inspiration from it for how she approached Ikaris in Eternals.

Upon its release, Chloé Zhao’s Eternals made history by becoming the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film to have received a Rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes. Currently, the film sits at a meager rating of 47%. However, having given a 77% score, the audience clearly does not agree with the critics and believes that the film was not really as bad as they are saying. Many fans would agree that while Eternals was not one of the MCU’s greatest works, it still was an entertaining one-time watch, at least.

Eternals explored many impressive themes including faith and loyalty and the characters somehow managed to make a tiny place in the viewers’ hearts.

It has been reported by E News! that Aaron Taylor-Johnson has not been offered the role of James Bond. Consequently, it appears that he is not in the frontrunner position, and the search for 007 continues. So, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson now have to continue searching for the right actor.

There are plenty of actors vying for the coveted role, but finding the perfect fit for 007 won’t be easy. James Bond is more than just a character — he’s a cultural icon.
Over the years, various actors have put their own spin on the role, but they all need to capture the essence of Bond as established in decades of books and films.

It looks as though Eternals 2 is a victim of the Marvel Studios’ ‘make fewer but make them better’ mantra, as reports circulate that the sequel has been scrapped.
This might not be surprising news, but Hollywood scooper Daniel Rpk is reporting that Marvel Studios has abandoned development on a sequel to 2021’s Eternals. A sequel to the film was never officially announced or even publicly discussed, but it’s not surprising that the studio had plans to bring the characters back for another adventure at some point, despite the original film underperforming both critically and commercially.
Eternals was directed by Chloe Zhao, whose profile rose considerably following her acclaimed debut feature, Nomadland. Her superhero film also featured a raft of acting talent including Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Gemma Chan, Kumail Nanjiani and Barry Keoghan. The final film didn’t hang together well, however, and was met with poor reviews.

When ‘Eternals’ hit theaters, it signaled a shift in the MCU’s direction. Despite mixed reviews and disappointing box office numbers, it was praised for its ambition, even though some found its storyline confusing with unused elements. Some viewers enjoyed its blend of cosmic and mythological themes, while others felt it missed the mark. Nonetheless, talks of a sequel emerged, especially with rumors of “Eternals 2” and Richard Madden’s return as Ikaris.
However, recent developments suggest otherwise. With “The Marvels” underperforming and Disney prioritizing quality over quantity, fewer projects are expected. As a result, “Eternals 2” is reportedly scrapped, with Feige keen on the project but Iger concerned about its potential reception. It appears Disney is shifting focus towards animated content, with “Deadpool & Wolverine” being the sole 2024 release and fewer live-action shows in the pipeline.

Upon its release, ‘Eternals’ marked the change of direction in the MCU, and despite the movie receiving mixed reviews and bombing at the box office, it was often described as ambitious and sometimes incoherent due to many elements introduced, which were subsequently never used again.
Some viewers considered the movie a breath of fresh air and appreciated the themes that mixed cosmic themes with mythologies, but some felt that the movie didn’t quite hit the mark. Still, it seems that ‘Eternals’ was ambitious enough to warrant itself a sequel. Since couple of months ago it was rumored that the ‘Eternals 2’ was in the works with Richard Madden guaranteed to return as Ikaris. Now a lot has happened since those rumors first resurfaced. First ‘The Marvels’ flopped, being the lowest-grossing MCU movie of all time, and following that failure, Iger went to public with a statement that the studio...

2021’s Eternals introduced audiences to a new team of heroes in the MCU. The film boasted a fantastic ensemble cast led by Gemma Chan and Richard Madden. Being helmed by an Oscar-winning director, Chloe Zhao, one expected that the film was going to be one of the best in the franchise, especially with Kevin Feige doubling down on his belief in its quality.
2021’s Eternals was not appreciated by MCU fans
The film received mixed reviews from fans and underperformed at the box office. That has been a bit of a constant for the MCU for the past 2 years. With Jonathan Majors now out as Kang, a sequel to Eternals can introduce a powerful villain who is as threatening as Thanos and can be the MCU’s replacement for Kang.

The Ott world’s blockbuster filmmaker duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna Dk have shared how they taught themselves writing, editing, sound recording, and other skills essential to their craft. Participating in a panel discussion at the 24th edition of Ficci Frames in Mumbai on Wednesday, Raj and Dk, as the makers of ‘The Family Man’ and ‘Guns & Gulaabs’ are better known as, were asked if they did not become directors, which area of filmmaking would they have devoted their lives to.

Konami tried something new to inject new blood (no pun intended) into the Castlevania series with 2011’s Lords of Shadow, a new series that completely disregarded the established timeline. The result gave fans a cinematic platformer that dipped into the God of War series with its combat (for good and bad), but ultimately lacked that “something” for many that made it a Castlevania game. With Lords of Shadow 2, those hoping that things would get better were ultimately disappointed. It also didn’t help that reports after the game’s release illustrated Lords of Shadow 2‘s troubled development. But with 10 years now gone by, is that disappointment also lessened?

An 'Eternals' TV show was originally in the works before the movie was made.John Ridley was hired in 2015 to develop a mystery Marvel project for ABC but the show never came to fruition and the '12 Years a Slave' screenwriter has now confirmed he was developing a series based on the immortal alien beings and he believes it would have been better than Chloe Zhao's 2021 movie, which starred the likes of Angelina Jolie, SalmaHayek, Richard Madden and Gemma Chan.Speaking on the 'Comic Book Club' podcast, John said: “It’s not in the works anymore. It was a television version of ‘The Eternals’… But good. "My version was the good version. It was so weird. There was my version, a good version, which is good to me, which — that doesn’t mean anything. "There was the version that [Marvel] ended up doing, which I don’t think that version was particularly good.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe hit what was viewed as something of a stumbling block with the release of Eternals in 2021.
Starring the likes of Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek, the movie was not the sort of overwhelming blockbuster success that many other movies have been for the MCU.
Two years after the movie’s release, any plans for a sequel have been seemingly tabled for the moment. However, we are now learning about a different version of the story that almost made it to our TV screens.

News broke in 2015 that John Ridley, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of “12 Years of Slave,” was joining the Marvel family to develop a mystery superhero project for ABC. The network was already home to Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D” at the time, and a spinoff series had just been announced prior to the Ridley news. Ridley was already a favorite at the network thanks to the acclaim for his anthology series “American Crime.” Suffice to say, Ridley’s Marvel project never happened.
Flash forward eight years, and Ridley finally revealed on the “Comic Book Club” podcast that he was developing an “Eternals” television series for Marvel long before the studio decided to make an “Eternals” movie with director Chloé Zhao and a cast that included Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Brian Tyree Henry, Barry Keoghan, Salma Hayek, Angelina Jolie and more.

Marvel remains active in its project lineup despite the SAG-AFTRA strike causing schedule adjustments. Bob Iger emphasized the need for Marvel Studios to prioritize quality over quantity, acknowledging a decline in fan interest and financial performance in the past year. Despite these considerations, a recent announcement introduced a new animated show, ‘Eyes of Wakanda.’ According to reliable source Daniel Richtman, Marvel is also working on another animated project influenced by anime centered around a covert group of cosmic beings.

Marvel has quite a few projects being either lined up for release or in development despite the historic SAG-AFTRA strike shuffling the schedule around. Bob Iger did come out to the public with a statement that Marvel Studios should focus more on quality than quantity since the drop in fans’ interest is evident, as it wasn’t really a good year for Marvel projects financially.
Still, yesterday, a new animated show titled ‘Eyes of Wakanda’ was announced, and if Daniel Richtman, a notable scopper, is to be believed, Marvel is developing yet another animated project about a clandestine group of cosmic beings, citing anime as the main influence of the show.

A spin-off for one of Prime Video’s most popular series, The Boys, is reportedly in the works and will be set in Mexico.
As we anxiously, eagerly await for The Boys to return for season 4 sometime in 2024, we have some exciting news. The Boys is set to get yet another spin-off, this time set in Mexico.
The new series would join Gen V and animated series The Boys Presents: Diabolical as the third overall spin-off of The Boys, which has multiple Emmy nominations under its wing.

Upon its debut, ‘Eternals’ signaled a shift in the MCU’s direction. Despite the film facing mixed reviews and box office challenges, it was often praised for its ambition, though criticized for introducing elements that weren’t further explored. While some viewers found it refreshing, blending cosmic and mythological themes, others felt it fell short. Despite the uncertainties, there are rumors from a reliable source, Daniel Richtman, suggesting that an ‘Eternals’ sequel is in the early stages of development.

Upon its release, ‘Eternals’ marked the change of direction in the MCU, and despite the movie receiving mixed reviews and bombing at the box office, it was often described as ambitious and sometimes incoherent due to many elements introduced, which were subsequently never used again.
Some viewers considered the movie a breath of fresh air and appreciated the themes that mixed cosmic themes with mythologies, but some felt that the movie didn’t quite hit the mark. Still, it seems that ‘Eternals’ was ambitious enough to warrant itself a sequel. Nothing has been confirmed so far, but a source of reliable scoops and leaks, Daniel Richtman, claimed that the sequel to the movie is in early development.

Marvel’s latest move in shaping its cinematic future has caught the attention of fans worldwide. The studio has officially withdrawn trademarks for several projects, including ‘Timeless Saga,’ ‘Eternity Saga,’ ‘Nomad,’ and ‘Runaways: New Era.’ However, the ‘Avengers: Eternity Wars’ trademark remains active, hinting at Marvel’s focus for upcoming releases.
The withdrawn trademarks suggest a refining of Marvel’s strategy. ‘Timeless Saga’ and ‘Eternity Saga’ seemed like potential titles before the studio settled on ‘The Multiverse Saga’. Their withdrawal might indicate a shift in Marvel’s narrative direction or simply a consolidation of efforts under a more cohesive banner.

There were sunny skies over the Thessaloniki Film Festival this week, with unseasonably high temperatures leading many visitors to reach for the sunscreen while dashing between movie premieres and industry events at Greece’s longest-running film fest.
The local industry, too, is enjoying a moment in the sun, as the Mediterranean nation has seen production surge post-pandemic, buoyed by foreign titles like Rian Johnson’s Netflix blockbuster “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” action thriller “Tin Soldier,” starring Jamie Foxx and Robert De Niro, and the Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone starring “Expend4bles,” the latest installment of the action franchise, which filmed in Thessaloniki.
Last year, production in Greece reached record heights, with 132 projects supported by the country’s cashback scheme, which covers up to 40% of qualifying expenditures and can be combined with a separate 30% tax relief scheme.

Phases 4 and 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have had some pretty intimidating villains thus far. From Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) and his plans to take over the Earth for all Skrulls to Wenwu (Tony Leung) and his ancient rings of power to He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) and the threat of his variants, the stakes of the Multiverse Saga have been just as formidable to overcome as Thanos and those who came before. But there’s one Loki villain who might just have them all beat – the sentient A.I. clock we all know as Miss Minutes (Tara Strong).
Now stay with me here. I’m not saying that Miss Minutes is necessarily the strongest or most powerful villain. What I’m saying is that she is by far the most ruthless, sadistic, and terrifying villain we’ve seen thus far in the Multiverse Saga,...

In the lead-up to No Time to Die, we launched a major series here on JoBlo called James Bond Revisited. In it, we took a deep dive into all of the James Bond films, as well as our favorite gadgets, Bond girls, villains and more. Notably, we also ranked the 007 actors, and now that Daniel Craig’s time as James Bond is over, folks have begun wondering who will slip into 007’s tux and become the next iconic version of Ian Fleming’s super-spy.
Of course, the rumour mill has been in overdrive over the last two years, with a recent idea that Christopher Nolan might direct a James Bond prequel being shut down pretty quickly. Whatever happens, one assumes Eon will do a major relaunch for the series and that Daniel Craig will be one mighty tough act to follow.

For as much as HBO's "Game of Thrones" became known for its excessive sexuality and big-budget blockbuster sequences, it had gained notoriety early on for something simpler: Killing off fan-favorite characters, and refusing anything like a happy ending. While that came straight from the source material, George R.R. Martin's long-running series of fantasy novels, it also defied conventional television wisdom, leaving the show with a complicated legacy.
For instance, the death of de facto protagonist Ned Stark (Sean Bean) in the penultimate episode of the show's first season was shocking and brutal. Considering he was played by a movie star and was one of the few genuinely good-hearted people in the show, his execution spoke to the show's ambition. If he could die, anybody could. And they often did.

Richard Madden dazzled audiences as The Young Wolf Robb Stark on "Game of Thrones," which made his shocking death during the infamous Red Wedding one of the most earth-shattering moments in the series' history. Madden has been acting since childhood but was an absolute force on the stage, having studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Soon after, he toured with Shakespeare's globe company as Romeo in "Romeo and Juliet," later reprising the role in the West End production in 2016 with his newfound "Game of Thrones" fame. However, as Bryan Cogman, who also served as a story editor on the TV series, discussed in "Inside HBO's Game of Thrones," Madden got the gig for reasons outside of his acting resume.
"At first we just liked Richard because he was the odds-on favorite for 2009's Best-Dressed Man in Scotland Award," said series co-creator D.B. Weiss. "He did indeed win – and in addition to his clothes,...

“Citadel” cost Amazon a ton of money to make. Perhaps if Prime Studios had only commissioned one cut of the Priyanka Chopra Jonas spy thriller…
Tucked into a Wednesday Bloomberg story was the backstory of how “Citadel” came to be one of the most expensive series in TV history, with a price tag north of $250 million for one season.
Amazon ended up with two different cuts of “Citadel” Season 1, per Bloomberg, one from O.G. writers Josh Appelbaum and Bryan Oh and another semi-secret one from Joe and Anthony Russo. What you see on the service is an expanded version of the latter, a costly decision that blew the show’s budget out of the water.
An Amazon Studios spokesperson did not immediately respond to IndieWire’s request for comment on the Bloomberg story.
Appelbaum and Oh originally developed a series about dueling spy rings that fit a vision from Amazon Studios chief Jen Salke,...

Prime Video thought it had another bona fide hit on its hands with “Citadel,” the spy-thriller series starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The show drove big viewership numbers early on, garnering a bigger audience for its premiere episode than any Prime Video series in history besides “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.”

But in the weeks following the show’s premiere, it has not cracked Nielsen’s top 10 streaming charts. Despite a falling off in the ratings, Amazon is still planning to develop the series into an international streaming franchise. Speaking at the 2023 Banff Media Festival, Amazon Studio’s Head of Drama Series Odetta Watkins said the show’s performance was a “victory,” and that it needed more time to spread its wings.
“I think [‘Citadel’] was conceived to be able to speak to the world and it has,” Watkins said.

Citadel, the big-budget drama starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden, was designed as a global franchise with a U.S. series and planned spinoffs set in countries including Italy and Mexico.
A few days after its launch in April, Amazon Studios boss Jennifer Salke said it “attracted one of the largest global audiences in the history of Prime Video”.
But the show failed to make the recent Nielsen streaming charts since its launch.
Odetta Watkins, Head of Drama Series, Amazon Studios, backed up the show’s performance, calling it a “victory” for the streamer and revealed that the company has plans to develop similar global franchises, in other genres including YA and mystery.
Speaking on a panel at the Banff Media Festival, Watkins, “I think the show was conceived to be able to speak to the world and it has. Every show is not going to hit in every place on the same level.
