The final film in the Skywalker Saga is due to hit theaters within a week, so naturally the internet decided it was time to re-litigate the quality ofStar Wars: The Last Jedi. The second film in this new trilogy took the characters to bold and challenging places, and some fans simply were not onboard with where writer/directorRian Johnsontook the story. One person whowasonboard with that direction, and is “grateful” for it, isStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerco-writer and directorJ....

As the gap between film and television continues to get ever smaller, it becomes more difficult to recognize which medium is having significant influence over the other. Take theMarvel Cinematic Universe, for example. Are series likeWandaVisionandMoon Knightsimply movies dissected into several parts?

20th Century Fox has done quite well for themselves in the Marvel movie department over the last 20 years or so. TheX-Menfranchise and its spin-off films, including the recent heavy hittersLoganandDeadpool, paved the way for superhero cinema long before anyone cooked up the concept of a shared cinematic universe.

That’s a wrap onSpider-Man: Homecoming. Principal photography on the brand newSpider-Manfilm has come to an end as starTom Hollandand directorJon Wattsboth marked the occasion on Instagram. Filming began back in June, a few weeks before San Diego Comic-Con, and while a newSpider-Manreboot wasn’t entirely unexpected, the particulars of this film are still kind of unbelievable.
