The former MCU Quicksilver is about to race over to the Sony Universe to… kick ass. According to Variety, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been cast to play Kraven the Hunter. Not only will he appear in a solo film, but there are hints that he will make multiple appearances in different Sony movies. Given what we know about the character, there’s a lot of story possibilities.
Batwoman’s full of wild plot threads—an Alice in Wonderland-themed gang that causes trouble, a magical flower that can cure Kryptonite poisoning, and a hypnotist that can make you think you’re the child of a mob boss. But the show also takes time to step away from its zany storylines and deal with more grounded issues: The upcoming “Armed and Dangerous” episode will explore how the people of Gotham react after a member of the Bat-team has a negative encounter with a law enforcement agent working for a private security agency known as the Crows.
This arc could finally address a complex running question the series has posed: Can non-super characters work to make sure the Crows safely and fairly enforce the law? However, if the storyline is handled the same way the show has dealt with issues from the agency previously, this question may be forgotten almost as quickly as it’s brought up. If Batwoman wants to make an effective message about the Crows stick, they have to deal with this plotline differently than they have in the past.

After teasing Woody Harrelson’s Cleetus Cassidy at the end of the first Venom movie, the trailer for the sequel promises to dive deeper into his sinister story. At the same time, Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock and his Venom symbiote lean into their buddy comedy dynamic. These two opposing tones come together for a weird blend of comedy, drama, and… breakfast?
The first A Quiet Place film dropped audiences right in the middle of a post-apocalyptic world where making noise of any kind would draw the attention of deadly alien creatures. While its sequel will continue where the story left off, this trailer also gave us an extended look at what the world used to be.
Spoilers for A Quiet Place below.

If you can’t get enough of Kaiju vs Kaiju action, then you’re in luck. According to Deadline, Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard is in discussions with Legendary to bring us another MonsterVerse movie. And a past interview with the director as well as the recent monster match has given us a huge hint at what we’re gonna see in the next titanic film.
After spending the last two decades re-watching 1997’s so-utterly-bad-it’s-good Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, fans like me finally got a new live-action movie in the franchise. Just like the previews promised, 2021’s Mortal Kombat comes with great fight scenes and a lot of faithfulness to the many characters it includes from the source material. But it also delivers a bland lead and an abundance of clichés. The combination of silly action movie tropes and seriously fun fight scenes result in a middle-of-the-road movie that can be entertaining—if you know what you’re getting yourself into.
