Boseman sat down with CNET to talk about his role in the upcoming superhero movie as T’Chaka aka Black Panther. There are a number of strong women in the movie including Shuri portrayed by Letitia Wright. “Her role is the most important.” Boseman told CNET. “In the comic book, T’Challa is a scientist and a king, but my sister is the whiz kid. She is the one with that gift. She’s the Tony Stark of Wakanda. She’s witty,…
The blockbuster news this morning is that 21st Century Fox is in talks to sell their movie rights to Disney. CNBC reports that Fox has been holding talks to sell the movie studio to Disney which owns Marvel. Currently, Marvel Studios owns the rights to the largest number of Marvel comic book characters. But the company sold the live-action movie rights to several other studios. So, for example, they can have a movie with Captain America and Thor, but not Wolverine or the X-Men. This sale could change all that. The talks have taken place over the last few weeks…

The team fights Steppenwolf played by Ciarán Hinds and it’s the clearest view so far. While most people have never heard of Steppenwolf outside of the comics, it looks like this movie is really highlighting how dangerous he is. The CGI looks…
Why do they wear jewelry in The Last Jedi? Thank Carrie Fisher. Fans have noticed that the costumes in the latest Star Wars film include jewelry. None of the women wore earrings. No one wore necklaces or rings, but that’s changed in this movie. Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) wears a necklace with a ring and Rose (Kelly Marie Tran) wears a crescent-shaped necklace that she says is important to her back story. “That is definitely something that is significant to Rose’s backstory,” Tran told Entertainment Weekly. “It is an object that she kind of has throughout the film and it…

Captain America: Civil War – Falcon (Anthony Mackie) Anthony Mackie is not a fan of the new Spider-Man. Tom Holland plays Peter Parker / Spider-Man in the MCU and he’s done some scenes with Anthony Mackie who plays Falcon in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers Infinity War and Avengers 4. Mackie makes outlandish comments, but this one is so consistent it makes you wonder how much of an act it is. Mackie was at a panel at MCM Comic Con in London last weekend and had some choice words for his co-star. “He’s an a******.” Mackie said, “I mean, this…

This may be the first time he’s been in the ship since Return of the Jedi and we can only imagine the memories he has of his old friend Han Solo (Harrison Ford). You…
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) Force Ghost The Force surrounds us, but it doesn’t always give us useful powers. Most people dream of being a Jedi Knight to get awesome powers like lifting X-Wing fighters or dashing down a hallway. In the Star Wars universe, it’s a mystical energy field that gives the heroic Jedi and the evil Sith Lords their power. Throughout the movies, animated series and books we’ve seen the Force lift small rocks and burn people to death. Choke people and pass them slices of pears. But these abilities are nothing compared to some of the useless powers…
