It sounds kind of like a Mad Libs or the start of a very specific joke. Tim and Trevor White, the producers behind films like King Richard, were getting a tour of the West Wing of the White House as part of their prep for the 2016 biopic Lbj. Along with Rob Reiner and Woody Harrelson — the film’s respective director and star — their tour guide was an Obama-era aide who surprised the producers by asking whether he could send them a screenplay he had written. Nearly a decade later, the Whites and that presidential speechwriter-cum-screenwriter, Patrick Cunnane, are heading to TIFF with the A24 feature Eternity.

The movie stars Elizabeth Olsen as a recently deceased woman who has to choose whom to spend the afterlife with, her first husband (Callum Turner) or second (Miles Teller). The Whites’ Star Thrower Entertainment banner, with credits including the Sundance standout Fair Play,...

The year may be halfway over, but fans are only just getting started with exciting new events to attend as L.A. Comic Congears up for its 2025 edition. Having first begun as the Comikaze Expo in 2011 as a means of showcasing Los Angeles talent, the event is now one of the largest independent conventions in the U.S.

Held annually at the L.A. Convention Center, the event offers panels and face-to-face celebrity meet-ups for everything from comics to movies, sci-fi, anime, gaming and much more. And now, as the latest edition of the event draws closer, ScreenRant is proud to reveal we are an official media partner and have some exciting panels in store.

The Propstore auction includes lots of items from superhero movies ranging from Marvel’s The Avengers to Tim Burton’s Batman films.

As we already know, the Propstore auctions are filled with bits of movie history. Ranging from original scripts from Star Trek to a cable-controlled ovomorph from Avp, there’s something for just about everyone.

With superhero films being a constant fixture in modern cinema, it’s no surprise that many of the auction items come from some popular comic-book movies.

Twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, 39, rarely step out in public anymore, but they both went to high-profile events this week – though on separate coasts!

Mary-Kate (pictured left) was spotted sitting in the stands at the U.S. Open on Wednesday night (September 3) in New York City. She was joined by a friend while watching matches on Day 11 of the tennis tournament.

On the other side of the country, Ashley (pictured right) stepped out on the red carpet for the Yes Scholars 25th Anniversary Gala on Thursday night (September 4) in Los Angeles.

Ashley joined her husband Louis Eisner to support his dad’s charity. They joined his parents on the carpet.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier's post-credits scene revealed that the remnants of Hydra had used Loki's sceptre to give Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch their incredible powers (with the intention of using them to kill The Avengers).

WandaVision later revealed that their use of the Mind Stone had unlocked what was already there in Wanda Maximoff. Avengers: Age of Ultron initially used the twins as antagonists, and with 20th Century Fox holding the rights to the X-Men franchise at the time, they served Ultron, not Magneto.

Just like their comic book counterparts, Wanda and Pietro ultimately saw the error of their ways and joined the ranks of The Avengers.

Anything can happen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the run-up to Avengers: Doomsday and nobody is more aware of that than the powers-that-be at Marvel Studios. The upcoming film is set to act as the opening chapter of the Multiverse Saga's conclusion, setting the stage for the grand finale in 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars. Marvel has been making sure that recent titles have been either fantastic or bonkers (or sometimes both) as we prepare for the larger-than-life multiversal showdown next year.

Marvel fans are pretty hopeful for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The legendary franchise had some uncharacteristic stumbles throughout Phase Five, as Multiverse Saga titles like Secret Invasion, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and The Marvels either underperformed during their releases or received negative reviews from critics (in some cases: Both!). However, things appear to be back on track as the franchise looks set to begin wrapping up the Multiverse Saga.

Recent theatrical releases like Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps have set the stage for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars nicely, restoring fans' faith in the franchise quite a lot. And Disney Plus outings like...

“Who will save us from our heroes?,” asks the trailer for Marvel Animation’s new four-episode series Marvel Zombies, which is set to debut Sept. 24 on Disney+. It starts with a warning that “the following preview is rated TV-ma,” a nod to Marvel venturing into adult animation for the first time with the bloody new series.

A slew of MCU stars are reprising their characters, with Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Tessa Thompson, Simu Liu, Awkwafina, Hailee Steinfeld, Wyatt Russell, Randall Park, Iman Vellani and Dominique Thorne all part of the voice cast of Marvel Zombies, whose premiere has been timed to Halloween.

The “Marvel Zombies” are taking a bite out of Disney+ this Halloween, and the brand-new trailer and poster have unveiled the hordes of zombified superheroes and villains clashing in the new series.

The four-episode series will premiere on Disney+ on September 24, 2025.

In 2021, Disney+ series “What If…?” teased the horror possibilities from Marvel Studios with the introduction of “Marvel Zombies” in a one-off episode that turned our favorite superheroes into the undead. Now they’re getting their own animated series, based on the comic run of the same name that sees an alternate universe where various heroes get infected.

In the series, “After the Avengers are overtaken by a zombie plague,...

I, like many, have been pretty burned out on Marvel properties over recent years, mostly due to the nonstop onslaught of them. It got to the point of feeling like homework versus actual fun so I found myself pulling away from the television ventures. But if there’s one show that I’ve been looking forward to its Marvel Zombies. Anyone that’s read the comic knows that this series is brutally violent and features some truly shocking deaths that you just never see in the MCU space. And given how unique the other animated Marvel show “What If” has managed to be, I’ve got high hopes for this one.

Elizabeth Olsen is officially reprising the role of the Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Following her tragic fate at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in 2022, audience members have made it loud and clear that they are not ready to be done with Wanda Maximoff in the MCU timeline.

While The Multiverse Saga has only a handful of movies left, the rest of Marvel Studios' 2025 releases are some of their remaining TV shows. The final animated series for the MCU this year will be Marvel Zombies, which serves as a What If...? spinoff, and will consist of four episodes, similar to Eyes of Wakanda.

Today, Disney+ unleashed a horde of assets for Marvel Animation’s ghoulish new series Marvel Zombies, including a trailer, key art, and images. Run, lurch, but definitely don’t walk to Disney+ on September 24 to catch the four-episode series.

The first bloody trailer for the upcoming Disney+ animated series “Marvel Zombies” has been released.

The four-episode series releases on Sept. 24 and will be the first TV-ma animated series for Marvel. The trailer showcases tons of undead violence, dismembered limbs and the official Marvel debut of Blade Knight, a Moon Knight and Blade variant who slices up an undead Ghost from the Thunderbolts in a flashy display of swordsmanship. Todd Williams voices the vampire slayer, who’s a variant of Wesley Snipes’ classic character, who reappeared in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and Mahershala Ali’s long-awaited hero, who was originally announced to star in a still-undeveloped movie in 2019.

“Marvel Zombies” started out as a Season 1 of “What If?” that reimagined the Marvel universe as a zombified nightmare. MCU characters like Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop, Jimmy Woo, Yelena Belova, Okoye, Captain America, Wanda Maximoff, Namor, Abomination and many more reappear in “Marvel Zombies.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting darker, and fans just got their new real taste. Marvel Studios has released a brand-new trailer for Marvel Zombies, an upcoming animated series on Disney+.

The show is based on the Marvel Comics series and spins directly out of the 2021 What If…? episode “What If… Zombies?!”.

Agatha All Along star Joe Locke and Vision Quest actor Ruaridh Mollica are currently starring in a play together, and a behind-the-scenes photo of the pair taken during a radio show appearance recently did the rounds online.

Though that previous photo didn't hint at their MCU roles (past or future), Locke and Mollica have clearly decided to lean into the speculation that the latter has been cast as Tommy Maximoff, aka Speed, in the upcoming WandaVision spin-off series.

The photo finds Mollica and Locke standing side-by-side, with the caption "#twinning, which obviously refers to the fact that they are wearing similar-looking tops (wink wink).

Graham Greene, a trailblazing Canadian First Nations actor who opened doors for Indigenous actors in Hollywood, died September 1 in a Toronto hospital after a long illness. The Oscar nominee from Dances With Wolves was 72.

“He was a great man of morals, ethics and character and will be eternally missed,” Greene’s agent Michael Greene said in a statement to Deadline. “You are finally free. Susan Smith is meeting you at the gates of heaven,” he added, referencing the actor’s longtime agent who died in 2013.

Greene was born on June 22, 1952 in Ohsweken, on the Six Nations Reserve. He worked odd jobs before giving acting a go. Greene started on stage, and by the 1970s, he was performing in Canadian and English professional theater productions.

He made his screen debut in 1979 in an episode of the Canadian drama series The Great Detective; his first movie was the 1983 Running Brave.

Marvel has finally confirmed the official title of Paul Bettany’s upcoming WandaVision spin-off — and it’s one that longtime fans may already be familiar with. The Disney+ series is officially titled Vision Quest, as revealed by the first-look logo spotted on new crew merchandise. The logo on the shirt is quite minimalist but distinct. Here’s what it looks like: It features the Marvel Studios logo in its standard red-and-white block design. Just beside it is the green-and-white Disney+ logo.

Below, the title Vision Questis spelled out in sleek, futuristic-looking uppercase letters. The Q in Quest is stylized with a glowing, cyan/teal outline, making it stand out from the rest of the letters,...

A first look at the logo for Marvel Television's Vision series has been revealed - on the set of a DC Studios movie!

The title design for the WandaVision spin-off show - which now seems to be officially titled Vision Quest - was spotted on the back of a guy's t-shirt on the Liverpool set of Clayface. Whether this crew member is pulling double duty on both projects (seems like a lot of work) or simply visiting a friend on the Dcu film's set is unclear.

Vision Quest is set to premiere on Disney+ at some point next year. We're not sure if filming is underway just yet, but...

Excuse the pun, but Legendary and Warner Bros.' MonsterVerse has been a Titan of Hollywood for over a decade now. The franchise has brought the two most legendary movie monsters back to the silver screen, taking them on solo adventures, making them face off against each other, and eventually teaming them up in what can only be described as larger-than-life showdowns. And, as audiences, we love to see Godzilla and King Kong embark on these adventures every single time.

The franchise has had some highs and lows along the way, with some of its earlier outings not getting the buzz they hoped and some of its more recent installments breaking franchise box office records.

The Austin Film Festival (Aff) announced on Tuesday the first wave of film premieres for its 32nd annual festival, taking place Oct. 23-30 alongside its renowned Writers Conference (Oct. 23-26), which together celebrate the art of storytelling on screen and on the page.

Taylor Sheridan has been crowned the king of the Western over the last few years, but his first TV show to break out and become a hit just accomplished an impressive streaming feat. Sheridan’s Yellowstone is streaming on Peacock in America and on Paramount+ globally, where it’s recently overtaken Tom Hardy’s MobLand, the gritty crime series that has been likened to The Sopranos. Yellowstone, which features Kevin Costner in the lead role, has also passed other shows like Dexter (Michael C.

HBO Max has more than a few memorable, worthwhile films lurking beyond the edges of its homepage.

Alan Cumming is in Avengers: Doomsday, though, by his own hilarious admission, even he doesn’t quite know who with, where, or as what. The 60-year-old star confessed, chuckling in a recent interview (via Goldderby):

I did the entire film in isolation. Lots of green screen, face replacement. They even gave characters fake names. I don’t know who I was acting with half the time. I broke the internet by mentioning something once, but honestly, I might have got it wrong.

This wasn’t Marvel’s quirky sense of humor; it was apparently their latest strategy to fend off leaks, spoilers, and any sniff of narrative sabotage. And yet,...

Earlier this year, a first look at concept art from Avengers: Doomsday (possibly Avengers: Secret Wars) leaked online. As with any pre-production material, how much of that will make it into the movie remains to be seen, though it certainly gave us a better idea of what to expect.

One piece showed the Young Avengers—Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, Cassie Lang, Wiccan, and Speed—assembled alongside Wong and Star-Lord. Many fans have questioned when and where Billy and Tommy were reunited following Agatha All Along's big cliffhanger ending. However, the upcoming Vision TV series has since cast Ruaridh Mollica in a mystery role believed to be Wiccan's missing twin.

In Friendship, which hit theaters in May after premiering at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival, suburban dad Craig (Robinson) falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor (Rudd). But Craig’s attempts to make an adult male friend threaten to ruin both of their lives.

Kate Mara and Jack Dylan Grazer also star. Andrew DeYoung directed from his own script, in his feature debut, with Raphael Margules, J.D. Lifshitz, Nick Weidenfeld and Johnny Holland producing.

Blade will appear in the upcoming Marvel Zombies animated series, although he will not be voiced by two-time Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali. Fans have been waiting to see Ali as Blade ever since it was confirmed in 2019 that he would play the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starting with a planned solo movie. Although the film has gone through years of issues behind-the-scenes, so whether or not it will eventually get made really is anyone’s guess now. Ali did briefly voice Blade in the post-credits scene at the end of Eternals, but he won't be bringing the character to life in his next MCU appearance.

It has been confirmed that the vampire superhero will be voiced by Todd Williams in upcoming Disney Plus series Marvel Zombies. And this version of Blade will be the same as the incarnation of the character who appeared in the final episode of Marvel's What If...? last year.

Another day, another nail in the coffin of Mahershala Ali's "Blade." As if letting another movie altogether use its wardrobe department wasn't enough on top of the many, many years it's spent stuck in development hell, Marvel Studios' "Blade" reboot just hit yet another snag. Indeed, the titular daywalker is now poised to make his proper Marvel Cinematic Universe debut after Ali's voice-only cameo in the post-credits scene for "Eternals." The only problem? He isn't being played by Ali.

The project in question is "Marvel Zombies," the upcoming animated miniseries based on the comic of the same name. Taking place in an alternate timeline that was previously glimpsed on an episode of "What If...?," the show follows a group of survivors fighting against MCU heroes and villains who have been turned into zombies. Among those starring in the series are Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, Awkwafina as Katy Chen,...

James Gunn’s DC Universe inaugural film, Superman, has closed out its sixth weekend with a solid $595 million globally, while The Fantastic Four: First Steps has raked in $469 million after four weekends. Even though Superman has had an additional two weeks to earn revenue, the writing is on the wall that the Marvel Cinematic Universe's 37th entry will not be catching up to the rival studio. Superman will end its run beyond $600 million, but First Steps might not reach $500 million.

The fact that the two movies released in the same month, only two weeks apart, placed more of a spotlight on the superhero adaptations fighting it out at the box office. Yet Superman not only topped First Steps; given that the latest MCU film is the franchise’s highest grossing out of their three 2025 features, that equates to DC prevailing over all Marvel movies this year.

Reflecting on DC and...

Marvel Animation's upcoming What If...? spin-off, Marvel Zombies, will introduce a very unique Multiversal Variant in Blade Knight. The Daywalker has somehow inherited the Moon Knight mantle from Marc Spector, and the expectation had been that Mahershala Ali would voice the character.

Well, ComicBook.com has confirmed that Todd Williams (The Chicago Code) will play Blade Knight. Interestingly, he previously replaced Ali as the voice of Titan in Prime Video's animated Invincible TV series.

While Ali had a brief voice cameo in 2021's Eternals, the Daywalker's solo movie remains stuck in limbo after being announced at Comic-Con over six years ago. We'd imagine the intention was for us to have already met the Oscar-winner's Blade by the time Marvel Zombies aired, though it's no longer clear whether Ali was ever set to reprise the role in this series.

If the Blade movie fails to materialise, then Ali's MCU work could boil down to Eternals' confusing,...
