Anthony Mackie steps into the title role for the fourth movie in the MCU’s Captain America series, following the events of TV’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. However, somewhat unexpectedly, the film also turns out to be a direct sequel to The Incredible Hulk, albeit one without Bruce Banner in it. The result, unfortunately, is something of a mixed bag.

It is unsurprising that the film...

Another Marvel Cinematic Universe movie is making its way onto Disney+. Marvel Studios has just announced when Captain America: Brave New World will arrive on the Disney-owned streaming service.

Despite reports stating that the fourth Captain America movie would land on Disney+ today, the MCU blockbuster will actually premiere on the platform on May 28, roughly three and a half months after it debuted in theaters around the world. The movie's arrival on Disney+ comes just over a month after it hit Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Amazon, and other VOD platforms, and a mere two weeks after it was released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD. Check out the Disney+ teaser trailer for Brave New World below.

Directed by Julius Onah, Captain America: Brave New World marks Anthony Mackie's first time leading an MCU movie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, who in the movie finds himself at the center of an international incident following the election of Thaddeus Ross as the President of the United States and must work to stop the true masterminds behind it.Brave New World's arrival on digital platforms comes after an underwhelming run in theaters, where, after two months, the movie has grossed only $414 million worldwide. This is reportedly just under the $425 million needed for Marvel Studios to break even on the superhero blockbuster.

Captain America: Brave New World didn't just have a hard time at the box office,...

A new gag reel from behind the scenes of the latest MCU sequel, Captain America: Brave New World, shows what happens when Harrison Ford gets angry...and it’s hilarious. The Star Wars actor joined the world of Marvel this year, taking over the role of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross following the passing of William Hurt. Now President of the United States, Ross finds himself becoming part of the superhero world more than ever after transforming into the Red Hulk. Something that Ford had to act out on set. As you’d expect, the memes practically make themselves.

You can check out the gag reel from Captain America: Brave New World below, which also finds the likes of Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, and more in some pretty uncomfortable positions as they work hard to bring the wonders of the MCU to life on the big screen. The standout though is acting veteran Harrison Ford,...

After a bumpy ride through production, Captain America: Brave New World reached theatres on February 14th – and over the last two months, it has earned about $413 million at the global box office. Now, SuperHeroHype has learned that the film is set to receive a digital release next week, on April 15th, with the 4K Uhd, Blu-ray, and DVD release to follow on May 13th.

The film went into production in March of 2023, with filming lasting through June. In December of ’23, another screenwriter was brought onto the project to write new material for reshoots, which seemed to be quite substantial. It was said that the reshoots were primarily done to rework three major action sequences – and this included adding Giancarlo Esposito into the mix as Sidewinder, the leader of the Serpent Society, while also dropping a Serpent Society character that was played by wrestler Seth Rollins.

So, let’s find out which of the movies that are coming in 2025 are the most anticipated.

Love Hurts...

Captain America: Brave New World opens in theaters this week. The Marvel Cinematic Universe movie formally introduces Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) as the new Captain America, taking over from the retired Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). Wilson first picked up the shield in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but this is his first outing as Captain America on the big screen.

The film is directed by Julius Onah and written by the teams of Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson, and Onah and Peter Glanz. The cast includes Danny Ramirez as the new Falcon, Shira Haas, Carl Lumbly, Xosha Roquemore, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Giancarlo Esposito, Tim Blake Nelson, and Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (taking over the role from the late William Hurt), who makes a much-anticipated transformation into Red Hulk in the film — a decision that didn’t sit well with MCU filmmaker Joe Russo.

Chicago – In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Iron Man may have started it all, but it was Captain America who provided the beating heart that carried it through and helped broaden it beyond just Tony Stark snark. These days, as Marvel movies have been a little lost at sea, this first Captain America movie since “Civil War” operates as a bit of a back-to-basics reset.

Taking over the shield for Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America is still a little wary of his new role … working for the government and one time adversary, Thaddeus Ross, who is now U.S. President. President Ross is trying to negotiate an international treaty, but things go haywire when “super soldier” Isiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) tries to assassinate him in the White House. In the span of about three minutes, Captain America figures out it’s a case of mind control, and sets...

Love Hurts (February 7) Credit – Universal Pictures

Love Hurts is an upcoming action comedy film directed by Jonathan Eusebio from a screenplay co-written by Matthew Murray, Josh Stoddard, and Luke Passmore. The upcoming film follows Marvin Gable, a hitman who left his life violence behind to become a successful realtor, but when his past comes knocking back, he must fight to protect his new life.

With Captain America: Brave New World set to hit theaters in just over two weeks, writer Rob Edwards - who worked on the script along with Malcolm Spellman, Dalan Musson, Peter Glanz and director Julius Onah - has taken to social media to hype up the next MCU movie.

"This movie was a ton of fun to write," Edwards posted on Instagram. "The Marvel sandbox is unparalleled, and the producers there are the best and the brightest. The movie comes out next month, but advanced tickets are on sale now. I can’t wait for you guys to see it. I’m hoping this movie will be to young men what The Princess and the Frog was to young women."

Though Edwards doesn't directly compare Brave New World to The Princess and the Frog, the reference has raised a few eyebrows. While this mention might seem a bit random, it's...

The next addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Brave New World, is set to reach theatres on February 14, 2025 – and this one is going to be keeping viewers in theatres for a shorter time than previous films in the Captain America franchise have. Theatre listings have revealed that Captain America: Brave New World has a running time of 118 minutes, so it comes in at 6 minutes shorter than Captain America: The First Avenger (124 minutes), 18 minutes shorter than Captain America: The Winter Soldier (136 minutes), and 30 minutes shorter than Captain America: Civil War (148 minutes). While it ranks on the lower end of Marvel Cinematic Universe running times, there are several MCU movies that are shorter than 118 minutes: The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Thor: The Dark World, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, and The Marvels.

Even with all the reported reshoots and reworking plaguing the production and delaying the release, the brand recognition of Captain America and an added element of Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk being promoted, the movie is still being projected to make some coin on its opening weekend.

The next addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Brave New World, is set to reach theatres on February 14, 2025 – and wrestler Seth Rollins has confirmed that his role has been cut out of the film.

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ is a highly awaited superhero movie that will see Sam Wilson taking on the mantle of Captain America in his first solo installment. It will be the fourth film in the ‘Captain America’ series, continuing from the TV series ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ (2021).

The film is directed by Julius Onah, who co-wrote the script with Peter Glanz and Matthew Orton. Anthony Mackie stars as Sam Wilson / Captain America, with other actors like Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, and Harrison Ford also starring.

In the movie, Sam Wilson finds himself involved in an international incident going up against several world powers and the Red Hulk.

William Hurt had said he was "really excited" to return as Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross for the fifth time in Captain America: Brave New World prior to his unexpected death in 2022.

Producer Nate Moore discussed the new Captain America movie and details about the Red Hulk with Entertainment Weekly (via The Direct), and how he spoke with Hurt about returning as Ross, who is now President in the new film.

"He was very excited to come back, to be quite frank. When he passed, it was a surprise. You figure out if it's worth proceeding with the story you have or trying something else."

Hurt played "Thunderbolt" Ross in five MCU movies, starting with The Incredible Hulk in 2008, when he was a General. He returned as Secretary of State Ross eight years later in Captain America: Civil War. He followed that up in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: End Game, and Black Widow.

Captain America: Brave New World is the next exciting chapter in the MCU, set to hit theaters on February 14, 2025, as part of Phase 5.

This marks Sam Wilson’s first solo adventure as Captain America and will feature Harrison Ford as Thaddeus Ross, who transforms into the Red Hulk.

The story follows Sam as he faces an international crisis after Ross becomes President of the United States, forcing him to uncover and stop the true masterminds behind the chaos.

Danny Ramirez stars as Joaquin Torres, who becomes the new Falcon and partners equally with Sam Wilson. Shira Haas plays Ruth Bat-Seraph, an Israeli former Black Widow and ally to President Ross, while Xosha Roquemore appears as a Secret Service agent.

Carl Lumbly returns as Isaiah Bradley, a super soldier with a troubled past, and Giancarlo Esposito portrays Seth Voelker, also known as Sidewinder, the smart and tough leader of the Serpent Society.

No one in my building wears suits anymore,” says a very well-dressed senior executive at a big agency, when asked if he still gets his suits made. But the trend away from more structured, tailored clothing and toward smarter casual wear hasn’t lessened the desire for having one’s clothes made to measure. In fact, it’s opened up a whole new arena for menswear enthusiasts, with a crop of shops in L.A. ready to make not only a well-fitting custom suit but everything you’d want to wear — from a pair of perfectly cut five-pocket pants to a creamy-to-the-touch vicuña wool shirt jacket — just for you.

Claire Foy and Richard E. Grant are set to lead a new period drama directed by Peter Glanz.

Titled “Savage House,” the eighteenth century black comedy also stars Bel Powley (“A Small Light”) and Jack Farthing (“The Lost Daughter”).

Kila Lord Cassidy (“The Wonder”), Richard McCabe (“Napoleon”), Vicki Pepperdine (“Poor Things”) and Pip Torrens (“The Iron Lady”) round out the cast. The film recently wrapped in the U.K.

“Set against the backdrop of eighteenth century England, a massive pox outbreak, and Jacobite uprising – this is a timely and darkly satirical story of Sir Chauncey Savage (Grant) and Lady Savage (Foy) and their blind pursuit of a better life,” reads the logline. “It is not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed. Filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed, this is a madcap play on class and power.”

Exclusive: Oscar-shortlisted Panamanian filmmaker Abner Benaim (Plaza Catedral) is gearing up to direct a feature adaptation of Nemesis, the final bestseller by Philip Roth to be published prior to the famed author’s 2018 passing.

Dealing with such timely themes as an epidemic and antisemitism, Nemesis was described in The New Yorker as having “the elegance of a fable and the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama.” The novel published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in October of 2010 is set in the summer of 1944, examining the impact of a polio epidemic on a Newark, NJ community and its children.

Peter Glanz (The Longest Week) adapted the screenplay. Pablo Larraín, Juan de Dios Larraín and Andrew Hevia will produce for Fabula — the production company behind Foreign Language Oscar winner A Fantastic Woman, the Kristen Stewart starrer Spencer, and the upcoming drama Maria starring Angelina Jolie. Fernando Loureiro produces for Tigresa.

Julius Onah (Luce) has been tapped as the director for Marvel’s Captain America 4, Deadline can confirm.

While the film’s plot is being kept under wraps and a production start state has not yet been disclosed, we know Anthony Mackie will star in the feature as Sam Wilson, who assumed the mantle of Captain America in Disney+’s series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Falcon‘s creator Malcolm Spellman wrote the script for the upcoming superhero pic with the show’s staff writer, Dalan Musson.

Onah is a Nigerian-American filmmaker best known for helming The Cloverfield Paradox and the 2019 Neon drama Luce, based on J.C. Lee’s play of the same name, which made its world premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards, including Best Director. He most recently co-wrote the Jean-Michel Basquiat biopic Samo Lives, which has Luce‘s Harrison...

Exclusive: WME has signed Nigerian-American filmmaker Julius Onah (Luce) for representation.

Onah is best known for his 2019 Neon drama Luce, based on J.C. Lee’s play of the same name, in which parents Amy (Naomi Watts) and Peter (Tim Roth) are forced to reckon with their idealized image of their son (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), adopted from war-torn Eritrea, after an alarming discovery by a devoted high school teacher (Octavia Spencer) threatens his status as an all-star student. Luce made its world premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards, including Best Director.

Onah most recently co-wrote the Jean-Michel Basquiat biopic Samo Lives, which has Luce‘s Harrison on board to star as the titular artist. He’s also attached to direct and produce that pic for Endeavor Content, along with the college admissions thriller Bad Genius. Erik Feig and Patrick Wachsberger will also produce the latter pic,...

Kevin Harrison Jr. (“Cyrano”) is set to star as the late American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat in the new biopic “Samo Lives.” The announcement was made on the film’s website.

Julius Onah is set to write, direct and produce the biopic. Onah reunites with Harrison who previously collaborated on Independent Spirit Award-nominated film “Luce.” Onah co-wrote the script with Peter Glanz.

“Samo Lives” was developed by Endeavor Content and the biopic will tell and celebrate the incredible origins and global legacy of the New York-born, Haitian-Puerto Rican American artist, whose seminal paintings and street art defined the Neo-expressionism arts movement in the 1980s.

“Jean-Michel Basquiat redefined the idea of who ascends to the highest altitudes of the fine art world. But the complexity and richness of his experience as an artist and child of the African Diaspora has yet to be dramatized in the manner it deserves,“ Onah said in a statement.

“Cyrano” star Kelvin Harrison Jr. will next embody American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat in a new project from director Julius Onah.

Harrison and Onah previously collaborated on the critically acclaimed drama “Luce,” which nabbed best male lead and best director nominations at the 2020 Film Independent Spirit Awards.

Developed and financed by Endeavor Content, the biographical film, titled “Samo Lives,” will celebrate the life, career and impact of the groundbreaking New York-born, Haitian-Puerto Rican American artist whose seminal paintings and street art defined the Neo-expressionism arts movement of the 1980s.

In 1983, Basquiat became the youngest artist to exhibit at the Whitney Biennial in New York, at just 22 years old. The acclaimed artist died on August 12, 1988 at the age of 27, but his work continues to make a great impact on the art world. At a Sotheby’s auction in 2017, Basquiat’s painting “Untitled” sold for $110.5 million, becoming one of the most expensive paintings...

Julius Onah’s new drama “The American Throne” has been given a series development order by Universal Content Productions, a division of Universal Studio Group. The show will be written and directed by the Nigerian American filmmaker, who is known best for producing the film “Luce.”

Per the logline, “The American Throne” takes place in a boldly reimagined contemporary America where the nation was founded as a monarchy. It centers on an entirely white royal family that is plunged into a scorched-earth succession battle when it’s revealed that the late king has hidden a mind-blowing secret: a Black son who is the true heir to the throne.

Others attached to the project include British American filmmaker Peter Glanz (“The Longest Week”), who is writing. He is repped by ICM, Mosaic and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller & Gellman. He’s also repped by Merman for commercials.

Sam Esmail is teeing up his next development.

The Mr. Robot creator has teamed up with Luce and The Cloverfield Paradox director Julius Onah to develop a series based on the premise of an American monarchy.

The American Throne, which will be written and directed by Nigerian American filmmaker Onah, is set in a reimagined, contemporary America where the nation was founded as a monarchy. This entirely white Royal Family is plunged into a scorched earth succession battle when it’s revealed the late King has hidden a mind-blowing secret: A Black son who is the true heir to the throne.

Peter Glanz, who wrote and directed 2014 feature The Longest Week starring Jason Bateman and Olivia Wilde and is developing Till Next Time at IMDb TV with Bad Wolf and Fremantle, will also write.

J.J. Abrams may be busy directing Star Wars 9, but that doesn't mean he's too busy to add a ton of new projects to his producing slate. His company Bad Robot has officially lined up six new movie projects, which are being developed using a discretionary fund that Abrams has set up through his deal at Paramount. These projects are quite varied, including several new horror and sci-fi movies, as well as a movie from Grammy-nominated rapper Logic. Sadly, from the descriptions in place, none of them sound like possible Cloverfield sequels. Unless they are planning a pretty big twist to the franchise narrative.

Breaking: Bad Robot has acquired six new projects from a number of up and coming filmmakers. This comes amidst speculation over where Jj Abrams will set his company to a new overall deal when the pact with Paramount expires. He’s meeting all the majors, and while there’s talk of Warner Bros, Universal, Netflix and others vying, many in town believe his landing place will be Disney, where Abrams has been working often, and where he is directing his second Star Wars film after relaunching the franchise there. Bad Robot and Paramount just released the genre film Overlord.

Here are the new films, set with the producer’s discretionary fund through its Paramount deal:

* The Steps — Pic is a twist on a possession story. Blair Butler will write the project, based on an original idea by director Stefan Grube.

Jeff Goldblum has joined Michael Sheen and Michelle Monaghan in an upcoming new dramady thriller called Price of Admission.

The story centers on "a middling playwright (Sheen) amidst a mid-life crisis and failing marriage. His wife (Monaghan) is tired of being second fiddle to his work — she wants a family. But incapable of functioning in reality, he submerges himself in an elaborate play about his life. The only person who understands his plight is his best friend, Alexander Taft (Goldblum), a behavioral psychologist with a mid-life crisis of his own."

The movie has a solid cast and it sounds like an interesting story, but in the end, I'll watch anything with Jeff Goldblum in it! He'll next be seen in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Price of Admission is being directed by Peter Glanz (The Longest Week).

Jeff Goldblum is joining Michael Sheen and Michelle Monaghan in writer-director Peter Glanz’s comedy-drama “The Price of Admission.”

Producers are Neda Armian of Armian Pictures, Alex Foster, and Glanz. Radiant Films International president and CEO Mimi Steinbauer made the announcement on Tuesday.

“The Price of Admission” is in the tradition of “Being John Malkovich” and “Birdman” — a story that’s part dramedy, part existential thriller. Sheen will portray a middling playwright undergoing a midlife crisis whose wife (Monaghan) grows weary of playing second fiddle to his work. But he’s incapable of functioning in reality and submerges himself in an elaborate play about his life. The only person who understands him is his best friend, portrayed by Goldblum, a behavioral psychologist undergoing a midlife crisis of his own.

Radiant Films International is handling foreign rights to the movie, which was presented to buyers at last year’s Cannes Film Market.
