April 2, 2025 by EJ Moreno

DC Studios has been considering a Superman reboot for quite some time, with rumblings of the film going back to 2018.

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice undoubtedly shifted the film industry for years. From changing Zack Snyder’s career forever to rocking the DC film slate, we still feel those effects.

Has the Mainstream Audience Outgrown Comic Book Movies?

March 1, 2024 by Tom Jolliffe

Jason Momoa didn’t recognise Dolph Lundgren when they met on Aquaman set

December 13, 2018 by Samuel Brace

Aquaman

Aquaman star Jason Momoa apparently didn’t recognise Dolph Lundgren when the two first met on the film’s set.
