‘Shaft’ Star Richard Roundtree Remembered by Samuel L. Jackson: ‘The Best to Ever Do It’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Stephen King is not a Marvel movie fan, but that didn’t stop him from expressing frustration over the “adolescent fanboys” who are taking pleasure in “The Marvels” flopping at the box office. The latest Marvel tentpole, with a reported budget in the $225 million range, is a box office disaster after opening to $47 million, the lowest start for a film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film’s global debut wasn’t much better at $68 million.

The Garfield Movie, a new animated feature coming to screens next May. This time, Chris Pratt voices the title character accompanied by the likes of Samuel L.

Chris Pratt’s take on Garfield has divided fans following the first trailer for The Garfield Movie. The actor, who recently voiced Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, embodies the grumpy cat in the upcoming animated comedy.

The trailer for The Garfield Movie is finally here!

Ever wonder where Garfield the cat came from? How he met his “owner” Jon Arbuckle? How pizza entered the picture? A new trailer for Columbia Pictures and Alcon Entertainment’s The Garfield Movie can help.

Caroline Brew editor Chris Pratt embodies the world’s most sarcastic yet endearing orange feline in the trailer for “The Garfield Movie,” premiering in theaters on Feb. 16, 2024. The new animated feature introduces new characters to comic creator Jim Davis’ universe, including Samuel L.

The Marvels, Nia DaCosta’s action-packed addition to a decent if not spectacular year for the films of the MCU.The ending we’re talking about is not only the film’s climactic showdown and good-humored epilogue but, since this is a Marvel movie, also the buzzworthy mid-credits sequence. All three components offer satisfactory closure to the story at hand, while heralding intriguing future adventures for the film’s titular trio of superheroes.The credits scene, in particular, foreshadows the first truly exciting MCU plot development since Marvel cracked open its now 33-film fictional universe into a kaleidoscopic multiverse of rarified worlds and reimagined characters.

Jordan Moreau “The Marvels” is getting ready to take flight at the box office, but it won’t be as sky-high as its predecessor “Captain Marvel” and many of its fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. The latest MCU adventure has made $6.6 million in previews at the box office. “The Marvels” is expected to make between $60 million and $65 million in its opening this weekend.

Marvel film The Marvels hits cinemas tomorrow (November 10) and comes with its own original soundtrack – see the full tracklist below.Directed by Nia DaCosta, the superhero blockbuster sees Brie Larson return as Captain Marvel alongside Teyonah Parris as WandaVision’s Monica Rambeau and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel.An NME review of the film said: “This has to be one of the quirkier MCU entries. Cat-lovers will more than get their fix thanks to Danvers’ moggy Goose – secretly a Flerken that has tentacles that spring out of its mouth and swallows things whole (people, plates, you name it).

In an era where the Marvel Cinematic Universe frequently shuttles between multiverse escapades and interplanetary conflicts, Nia DaCosta‘s The Marvels emerges as a breath of fresh air, eschewing bombast for a nuanced exploration of its characters. DaCosta, alongside writers Megan McDonnell and Elissa Karasik, anchors the superhero spectacle in the tangible and personal, making the extraordinary feel accessible and grounded.

Is the “Marvel Wobble”—the terms the MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios book writers have coined for Marvel’s very mixed 2023—turning into the Marvel Buckle? Is this week the make-or-break week for Marvel in 2023? Because some reports suggest that the upcoming “The Marvels” is tracking to less than DC’s disastrous “The Flash” and “Black Adam.” This would be a devastating narrative for Marvel and would be their lowest-opening film in years, even worse than the figures posted by movies like “Eternals” in the heart of the pandemic.

The Marvels is almost here!
