 Hulk is the Marvel movie equivalent of Batman Returns, and that shows its strengths despite its mixed reception. Directed by Ang Lee, hot of the success of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hulk was released to divisive reviews in the summer of 2003. It's $245.5m worldwide haul, while respectable, also made Hulk a moderate financial disappointment, leading to the Hulk being rebooted in 2008 with The Incredible Hulk as the second film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, thanks this apparent attempt to eradicate its legacy, the movie shares an unlikely relationship with Tim Burton's Batman sequel. Nearly two decades after its release, Hulk's place among superhero movies is, in a word, different. Hulk isn't simply a dark movie, but also an extremely surreal one, often literally becoming a cinematic comic book – highlighted by scenes such as the fight between the titular green protagonist and actor Nick Nolte's David Banner. Many of these bold stylistic choices hav...

 Toy Story 4's ending is a perfect conclusion to the entire Toy Story saga, resolving both the story of Woody and bigger ideas raised across the movies. The new entry (directed by Josh Cooley) may feature Canadian stuntmen voiced by Keanu Reeves and motorized skunk action setpieces, but this is a much more internalized and emotive look at the toys themselves - even by Pixar standards. Picking up not long after Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4 sees Woody (Tom Hanks) now demoted to the closest during playtime and, after the typical string of mishaps, become custodian to a spork-turned-toy, Forky (Tony Hale), who despite being Bonnie's new favorite toy believes himself to be trash. As Woody convinces Forky of his true purpose, his own perspective is shaken by remeeting lost love Bo Peep (Annie Potts). By way of an antique store overseen by the menacing-yet-misunderstood Gabby Gabby (Christina Hendricks) and various fairground rides, the mission is to get Forky and Woody back to Bonnie. To...

 In terms of what's next for Venom after Let There Be Carnage, Sony hasn't yet confirmed a threequel with the symbiote anti-hero. Although the studio has a number of Marvel projects in the works, the only two with confirmed release dates are Morbius releasing in January 2022 and Kraven the Hunter in January 2023. Fans have long wanted to see Hardy's Venom face off with Tom Holland's Spider-Man, but the latter's involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe under the Marvel Studios umbrella has made such a crossover difficult. However, the Venom: Let There Be Carnage end credits scene has now shed some light on the future for Eddie Brock. Venom: Let There Be Carnage only has one post-credits scene, but it's a game-changer not only for Eddie Brock but Sony's entire universe of Marvel movies. Now that the new Sony Marvel film is in theaters, we break down and explain what the Venom sequel's credits scene means. So one last time: SPOILERS ahead for Venom: Let...

 Instead of becoming the new MCU’s new Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder, Beta Ray Bill, who has long been rumored to be joining the movie, could simply become the Asgardian's replacement in the Guardians of the Galaxy. If Marvel does use indeed Beta Ray Bill in the upcoming MCU Phase 4 movie, the Guardians could be central to his role in the story. As part of an effort to focus on new characters, Marvel has retired some of its oldest MCU heroes, including Robert Downey, Jr.’s Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow (after her delayed movie) and, possibly, Chris Evans’ Captain America. This has led to speculation about how long Marvel plans to keep Thor (Chris Hemsworth) around. Thus far, he’s the only character to get four movies in a solo franchise. This was something neither Iron Man nor Captain America received during their time in the MCU. Many have thought that since the character has already starred in a total of seven Marvel movies, Thor: Love and Thunder could end up b...

 Sony could reveal Venom and other villain spinoff movies take place in the Amazing Spider-Man timeline, and here's how the popular theory can work. Sony Pictures has dreamed of creating a shared universe filled with Spider-Man and adjacent characters for years. The studio finally achieved this goal with the release of Venom in 2018. The movie's huge box office success gave the studio confidence to move forward with other plans, including reviving many ideas originally meant for the Amazing Spider-Man franchise. Once Sony got a grasp on Spider-Man by rebooting him as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Venom and other villain spinoffs became their other primary focus. The studio released Venom: Let There Be Carnage in 2021, which brought Tom Hardy back as the symbiote-powered anti-hero. There are also plans for Jared Leto's Morbius to release in early 2022, while a Kraven the Hunter movie starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson is planned for 2023. The question that has loomed ove...

 The Amazing Spider-Man 3 never got off the ground, but with the huge surge in love that Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man has received, it would look quite different if it were to actually proceed. After the mixed reception to The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Garfield's superhero career looked to have been cut short. However, his triumphant return to the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home has paved the way for a future that, while undoubtedly different from what Sony had originally intended, may yet prove to be extremely successful. Following the cancellation of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4, Sony elected to reboot the Spider-Man series with 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man, with Andrew Garfield becoming the new Peter Parker. While Sony had big plans for the Spider-Man franchise, The Amazing Spider-Man 2's polarized reception and (comparative) box office downturn led to Spidey rebooting again in the MCU, with Tom Holland taking on the role. Spider-Man: No Way Home has changed the game fo...

 The DCI Banks season 5 finale brought the British crime drama to a close. Starring Stephen Tompkinson in the title role, DCI Banks is based on British-Canadian crime writer Peter Robinson’s series of Yorkshire-set Inspector Banks novels. The first three seasons of DCI Banks were composed of three or four two-episode storylines adapted from Robinson novels including Friend Of The Devil and Dry Bones That Dream. In DCI Banks season 4, the series took a different direction by focusing not on Robinson’s novels but on original stories developed specifically for the TV series. DCI Banks season 5 took a cue from the previous season, featuring three brand-new, two-part storylines written specifically for the show. Following in the footsteps of other British crime dramas like Netflix's Stay Close, the series captivated audiences all the way up to its gritty end. DCI Banks season 5 was also the first season to feature an ongoing story arc spread over its six episodes that focused on Banks’ ...

 Here is a complete list of every confirmed Marvel Studios TV show coming to Disney+. In 2019 Marvel announced their plans to expand the MCU to small screen TV shows, a stark change from their first decade of movie-only content. In early 2021, WandaVision was the first of these shows to air, and by the end of the year, Disney+ had five full seasons of MCU TV shows available to stream, showing that Marvel had kept their promise. However, in the coming years, it is clear that Marvel Studios is only going to be expanding its presence further on the small screen with a huge number of shows planned alongside their large MCU feature films. Marvel's upcoming release schedule seems to almost alternate new movies with Disney+ TV shows and there's definitely a lot of interplay between the two. It can be hard to keep track of what is coming out when and which parts of Marvel's rich comic history are set to arrive on screen. So, here's every upcoming Marvel TV show that is confirme...

 With most of The Gilded Age taking place in Manhattan so far, viewers finally got to see a little slice of Brooklyn in the 1880s and whether or not the show maintained historical accuracy in its portrayal. The show’s latest episode featured some of the most engaging storylines, like George Russell (Morgan Spector) denying Turner (Kelley Curran), Bertha’s lady’s maid, and the racial tensions felt when Peggy Scott (Deneé Benton) and Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson) visit Bloomingdale’s together, but it was refreshing to get away from the extravagance of Manhattan for a bit to see how New York City’s future second-largest borough was faring during this time. Today, Brooklyn is a place of start-ups and gentrification, but in the nineteenth-century, the place was up-and-coming in its own right. The Gilded Age is primarily set in the upper-east side of Manhattan, an incredibly affluent area where old money rules and people of new money like the Russells are trying to infiltrate the exclus...

 After two sequels that mirrored the story of the original Jurassic Park movies, Jurassic World: Dominion can finally break apart from everything fans have seen so far. The beauty of Steven Spielberg's first Jurassic Park film came from seeing humans meet living breathing dinosaurs for the first time, and the conflict mainly derived from John Hammond's attempts to control the uncontrollable forces of nature. Set in the titular Jurassic Park, the original movie didn't have to go to great lengths to leave audiences in awe because the natural ferocity of the dinosaurs was enough to warrant thrilling action sequences. The Lost World: Jurassic Park tried to up the ante with a darker tone and a more clear look at the dinosaurs, but it signaled a lack of innovative ideas that would only become more apparent in Jurassic Park III. Although still successful, the first two Jurassic Park sequels failed to capture the iconic thrills and character development of the original. Hence, four...
