Superman Worldwide Box Office: Ready To Beat Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible 8(Photo Credit – Instagram)

James Gunn’s Superman is soaring high at the cinemas despite the competition. It has strong legs at the box office, beating films left, right, and center. Superman has edged closer to beating the worldwide haul of Tom Cruise-led magnum opus, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, aka Mission: Impossible 8. Keep scrolling for the deets.

There have been many speculations on the film’s break-even numbers. Some reports claimed that, by industry rules, it needs around $750 million to break even at the box office. However, James Gunn recently called those reports utter nonsense. With the movie already over $560 million worldwide, it is likely near or profitable under most scenarios. Meanwhile, the same cannot be said for Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning.

Jurassic World Rebirth Japan Box Office: Update After Two days(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Jurassic World Rebirth has finally been released in Japan and has opened with strong numbers despite low scores. The film starring the action-queen Scarlett Johansson in the lead role earned more than Jurassic World Dominion on its release day, but failed to keep the pace on day 2. It is already a blockbuster with its $750 million+ global collections. Keep scrolling for the deets.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is already ruling at the cinemas of Japan, and releasing amid that is risky. It is more concerning because the film has received the lowest ratings for the franchise in Japan, on par with Jurassic Park III’s 3.6 stars from the audience. It is equivalent to a B on CinemaScore. The word-of-mouth for the film is mixed, but it has defied those odds in China and scored impressive numbers. Can it...

In a full-circle moment, James Marsden is returning to the role that first put him “on the map.”

The Paradise actor and newly minted Emmy nominee sat down with Vanity Fair recently to discuss reprising his X-Men character Cyclops in the Russo Brothers’ forthcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

“I’m getting a little long in the tooth to put on the superhero costume,” he said, laughing. “I was excited because you’re a part of something gigantic, and I’ve spent 20 years listening to people say, ‘When are you coming back? When are you coming back? Are you coming back?'”

The Westworld and Dead to Me alum continued, “I’m dead. Well, maybe not. I’m going to have a tough time struggling to get into costume if they waited a couple more years. So it’s been a blast. It really has. It’s been a nice little homecoming to...

Marvel’s next big team-up movie, Avengers: Doomsday, is shaping up to be one of the biggest crossovers in the MCU’s history. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the film will bring together the Avengers, the Wakandans, the Fantastic Four, the New Avengers, and the X-Men to face Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. It will hit theaters on December 18, 2026, as part of Phase Six.

One of the stars joining the fight is Joseph Quinn, who just made his debut as Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, in Fantastic Four: First Steps. In a recent interview with AP Entertainment, Quinn talked about the difference between filming Fantastic Four and working on Avengers: Doomsday.

He explained that Fantastic Four was a fresh start for its cast, while Doomsday throws him into scenes with long-time MCU stars and even some of the original X-Men actors from Fox’s movies.

2025 has been one of the weaker years for the film industry as high-budget films like Captain America: Brave New World and Snow White have failed at both impressing the audience and at the box office.

Kingdom Box Office Collection Day 9 (Photo Credit –Facebook)

Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom has failed to make any impact at the Indian box office, with disappointing numbers coming in its kitty. Despite some people liking it, the overall content wasn’t appealing to the wider audience as it offered nothing new.

While Kate and Anthony returned for Season 3, Phoebe Dynevor and Rege-Jean Page, The Duke and Duchess of Season 1 did not. Did you know that Rege-Jean Page said no to £250K ($317K) because he didn’t want to return to Bridgerton?

The news of everyone’s favorite Duke not returning for Season 2 was heartbreaking. Rege-Jean Page, who played the lead in the season, bid his goodbye to the show and even refused to return as a guest star. The...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps opened to a strong box office debut, backed by an impressive 86% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and a solid 7.3/10 IMDb rating. With such a promising start, Marvel’s latest superhero outing seemed poised for a blockbuster run. However, momentum slowed sooner than expected, as the film saw a sharp drop in its second weekend. The silver lining: with no major new releases, there’s little competition to pull audiences away from theaters.

Currently ranking among the year’s top ten highest-grossing films worldwide, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is projected to finish its theatrical run between $520 million and $570 million globally (per Screen Rant). Its current global total stands at over $385 million (per Box Office Mojo), so there’s still plenty of ground to cover. In its pursuit of profitability during its theatrical run,...

In addition to garnering critical acclaim, the film has surpassed several popular 2025 titles like Brad Pitt’s F1, Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and Sinners. Whether it can surpass the lifetime total of Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning remains to be seen.

James Cameron’s Avatar is one of the most loved Hollywood movies. The sci-fi film was released in 3D and mesmerized everyone with its stunning visuals and grand storytelling. When the movie was released in 2009, discussions about how 3D would change the way people look at movies commenced. One such prominent filmmaker who was impressed with Cameron’s work is Quentin Tarantino.

In an interview with Far Out Magazine, Quentin Tarantino was quite impressed with James Cameron’s Avatar and even wished he had seen it before making Kill Bill. The director shared that he had grand visions for his film, released in two volumes, but felt he couldn’t completely achieve the immersive experience he had in mind.

Fans would be surprised to learn that Josh Brolin‘s role was supposed to be a cameo before it was extended into a full-blown villain. During his recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Brolin told Josh Horowitz that he was approached for a 10-minute role in the MCU when he was doing Everest.

He shared that Marvel later changed the role to become a major character in its Infinity Saga finale. He shared:

That was supposed to be a cameo when it was first brought to me. I was doing the Everest movie in London, and [Marvel] brought me this huge [character] bible. They were like, ‘It’s this little thing and [Thanos] is going to be in it for 10 minutes.’ And then they changed it, and it turned into this whole thing.

It may not have been a big success at the box office, but Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King's The Life of Chuck has found a new lease on life thanks to its digital release on July 29. Now, the beloved fantasy drama is finally getting the physical media editions it deserves, and fans don't have to wait too much longer to add it to their collection.

Starring Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Jacob Tremblay, and Mark Hamill, to name a few, The Life of Chuck explores the formative moments in the life of Charles "Chuck" Krantz in reverse chronological order, from his death coinciding with the end of a universe to his childhood. Called a "life-affirming masterpiece" by critics, the film hit theaters on June 6, but only managed to take in $11.5 million at the box office despite all its rave reviews. Granted, it was a limited release...

This one is not a horror movie, and JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray even described it as a “bittersweet tearjerker.” Less than two months after it started playing on the big screen, The Life of Chuck was given a digital release, and you can watch it on Amazon, where it can be rented for $9.99 or purchased for $19.99.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is going steady at the domestic box office at #1. It has crossed the $200 million milestone and surpassed two superhero movies in North America. The movie collected more than $350 million at the worldwide box office. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The MCU movie is less than $10 million away from surpassing Black Widow worldwide. The future of this latest movie is no different from the other MCU movies. They have been performing underwhelmingly at the cinemas, and the F4 movie is also down that path. It is an essential movie in the MCU and Avengers: Doomsday. More and more people are losing interest in the Marvel movies, and by the time Doomsday releases, it is unlikely that it will recreate the same magic as Endgame. However, fans are excited for the return of Robert Downey Jr,...

Now available on Digital, The Life of Chuck will be released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on September 30 via Neon.

It may not be a horror movie, but the genre-bender is written and directed by Mike Flanagan and based on Stephen King’s novella from his 2020 collection If It Bleeds.

Across this cavalcade of almost three dozen movies are a wide variety of iconic superheroes, grand stories, impressive visual tapestries, and the occasional entry that manages to be just “not bad.” We all have our rankings for the very best and the very worst of the Marvel series, but now JoBlo officially has the MCU movies ranked from Iron Man to the newly released The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Here we go, from least to best:

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

Director Taika Waititi harnessed the mighty power of Chris Hemsworth’s sense of humor and blended it with his own colorful sensibilities for the hilarious, character-reviving Thor: Ragnarok. All eyes were on the sequel, Thor: Love and Thunder, especially given it would see the return of Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster (taking on the mantle of Mighty Thor). Sadly,...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time #5!

Ryan Reynolds brought Deadpool to life on the big screen, and now Ryan Reynolds’ most vulgar line from the film Blade: Trinity is canon within the Marvel Universe, forever connecting the iconic actor to the Merc with a Mouth. Marvel has many iconic characters, but the synergy that Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool have created when combined is unlike any other.

Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time #5 by Cullen Bunn and Dalibor Talajić, reveals that Alfie has betrayed Deadpool, causing Wade Wilson to drop the crude line “you @#$%- juggling thunder @#$%!”, which fans might recognize from Ryan Reynolds’ character in Blade: Trinity.

Despite being said 10 years before Ryan Reynolds donned the red suit, the Nsfw line fits seamlessly.

Chris Hemsworth is set to reprise his role as Thor for Avengers: Doomsday, and the actor recently shared a video titled "Thank You! The Legacy of Thor," which ignited speculation that he might be preparing to hang up the hammer for good.

The video featured clips, behind-the-scenes footage, and interview segments from Hemsworth's tenure as the McU's God of Thunder, and included shots from the four solo Thor movies as well as Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

"Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honors of my life," Hemsworth captioned his social media post. "For the last 15 years I've held Mjolnir and then Stormbreaker as the God of Thunder, but what made it truly special… was sharing it with all of you. Your passion, your cheers, and your love for this character have meant everything to me. Thank you for making my journey...

Chris Hemsworth recently stirred up Marvel fans with a social media post that many thought was a goodbye to Thor. The actor shared a heartfelt video originally released by Marvel in 2022 to celebrate his years as the God of Thunder. But this time, Hemsworth added his own emotional message.

“Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honors of my life. For the last 15 years I’ve held Mjolnir and then Stormbreaker as the God of Thunder, but what made it truly special… was sharing it with all of you.

The touching words immediately sparked rumors online. Many fans assumed it meant Hemsworth was preparing to hang up the hammer after the next Avengers movies. So far, we...

Chris Hemsworth recently shared a special video on social media that Marvel first released in 2022 to celebrate his time as the God of Thunder. But this time, Hemsworth added a personal message, showing just how much the role has meant to him.

“Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honors of my life. For the last 15 years I’ve held Mjolnir and then Stormbreaker as the God of Thunder, but what made it truly special… was sharing it with all of you. Your passion, your cheers, and your love for this character have meant everything to me. Thank you for making my journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe unforgettable..

This post has gotten fans talking. Some believe this might be Hemsworth’s way of saying goodbye, or at least getting ready to wrap things up soon. We do know that he...

Earlier this year, Thor star Chris Hemsworth posted a video on social media titled Thank You! The Legacy of Thor, sparking speculation among fans that he was bidding farewell to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After nearly fifteen years in the role, it wouldn’t be surprising if he were ready to hang up Mjolnir, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

While speaking with THR, Hemsworth clarified that the video was not intended to be a preemptive goodbye.

“It was certainly not the intent. To be honest, my social media team assembled some footage and were like, ‘Oh, this could be cool. We’ll put some stuff up and thank the fans.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, cool. It’s been great,’” he explained. “So we penned it together, and off I went to do something else. But then I had a few people ask me about it,...

We are now exactly 500 days away from the release of Avengers: Doomsday, and Daniel Richtman has shared an intriguing update to a rumor he previously posted back in May.

As you may recall, the scooper reported that Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) would actually be part of Sam Wilson's (Anthony Mackie) team in Doomsday. This led to speculation that the Thunderbolts New Avengers may disband, or possibly even get taken off the board early by Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) or some other powerful enemy.

Now, Richtman has clarified that Belova won't be an official member of Captain America's Avengers, and will simply "accompany them when they travel to another universe."

We expected a bit of Multiverse-hopping in this movie, but it is interesting that Yelena is the one to join Wilson's faction of Earth's Mightiest Heroes for their alternate reality mission.

We have heard that Pugh and...

Alan Taylor's 2013 fantasy film "Thor: The Dark World" is very often held up as the worst film in the expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was the eighth film of the MCU, and was set after the events of 2012's "The Avengers" wherein Thor (Chris Hemsworth) teamed up with other superpowered champions to fight off an alien invasion. The invasion was led by Thor's treacherous brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), and "The Avengers" ended with Thor hauling a handcuffed Loki back to Asgard, their home dimension. 

Thor's follow-up story, however, was mere superhero hooey. He arrived back in Asgard just in time for a cosmic convergence that allowed magical interdimensional portals to open randomly throughout the universe. Thor also witnessed the reappearance of a mystical force called the Aether that a Dark Elf named Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) once wielded. The convergence and the Aether resurrect Malekith, and he sets about looking for his magical McGuffin.

From Monday, August 4, to Sunday, August 10, 2025, Netflix and Hulu are pulling a batch of movies and shows to make way for new additions. If you’ve been meaning to watch these, now’s the time to dive in before they leave the platforms.

The MCU has officially started Phase 6 with the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. This phase includes several big projects like Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026, Avengers: Doomsday in 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.

Phase 6 will wrap up with Secret Wars, with Doomsday acting as the lead-in next year.

One exciting fact about Avengers: Doomsday is that two actors in the cast have set a unique MCU record. Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes, and Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, have both appeared in every phase of the MCU so far. This is a rare achievement because most actors don’t stay involved for so long.

Stephen King adaptations historically have varying quality, but one critical darling has become a bonafide hit on streaming following its underwhelming box office run. Starring Tom Hiddleston, Karen Gillan, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mark Hamill, and Matthew Lillard, The Life of Chuckfollows the events of Charles "Chuck" Krantz' life in reverse chronological order.

The Life of Chuck, directed by Mike Flanagan, is based on King's novella of the same name. The film scored an impressive 80% from critics and 88% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, though it ultimately only earned $11.5 million in theaters globally. It made its streaming debut on July 29, 2025, reaching the top 10 shortly thereafter.

According to FlixPatrol, The Life of Chuck is currently sitting at ninth place on the streaming charts. This situates it behind bigger 2025 releases such as 28 Days Later, Lilo & Stitch, Thunderbolts*, Materialists, and How to Train Your Dragon. Notably, 2015's Vacation, which stars Superman's Skyler Gisondo, is...

Despite being titled Avengers: Doomsday, the movie could have just as easily gone by "Avengers vs. X-Men." While that crossover event is likely being saved for the post-Secret Wars MCU, the heroes of Earth 616 and Earth 10005 are expected to clash in the 2026 movie. 

That's reportedly set to happen when Doctor Doom manipulates the two superhero teams to go to war with each other, and the result will be a clash fans never imagined would be possible to see on screen. 

We're expecting some surprises, but Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Channing Tatum (Gambit) are currently the confirmed X-Men for Avengers: Doomsday. 

According to Displaying Model Behaviour, several members of the mutant team will get their own Marvel Legends action figures (you can find a full list here). 

The YouTuber has also revealed that the Cyclops...

James Bond is one of the most recognizable characters of all time, and many great actors have left their mark after playing him. Following Daniel Craig's run as Bond in several films, everyone is looking forward to finding out who the next star is.

Many British actors have been fancasted in the role, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston, Taron Egerton, and more. Among the casting rumors is Spider-Man's Tom Holland, who has experience in the action genre beyond his role as the superhero character. In a new interview on Gordon Ramsey's Scrambled, Holland finally addressed the rumors.

The interview, meant to promote Holland's alcohol-free beer brand Bero, has the actor join famous chef Gordon Ramsey on a cooking experience, which led to many interesting topics. One of them was James Bond. Around the 9:40 mark, the famous chef asked Holland whether he ever considered playing a character...

WandaVision may have ranked the highest, but was it really Marvel’s best small-screen venture? According to Variety’s latest ranking of every Marvel movie and TV show, WandaVision has secured the 4th spot overall. This makes it MCU’s top-ranking series, but many are wondering if it truly qualifies for the honor.

Especially when we have shows like Moon Knight, Daredevil: Born Again, and Loki. They all offer nuanced narratives, and while WandaVision fans loved its sitcom format and layered narrative about grief, Marvel has more complex shows that deserve to be higher on the list. So, here’s more about the three shows that deserved the crown instead!

The latest Stephen King adaptation has become a hit on streaming. The Institute, which premiered on July 13 and is currently still airing new episodes, has topped the charts over on MGM+.

According to FlixPatrol, as of Aug. 1, The Institute is still the No. 1 movie or show on MGM+, topping the streamer's Top 10 Overall list. The series adaptation of King's 2019 sci-fi horror novel of the same name has been in the top spot for the past week, an impressive streaming statistic that not too many shows can boast about having achieved. With new episodes of The Institute dropping until Aug. 24, there's a good chance that the MGM+ original will remain at the top of the chart until the end of the month.

First announced in June 2024, The Institute centers around teen genius Luke Ellis (Joe Freeman), who "wakes up in a strange place full of children who got there the same way he did,...

Loki season 2 ended with the God of Mischief becoming the God of Stories. Now, the Asgardian sits at the centre of the Multiverse, powering up the Yggdrasil-shaped mass of endless alternate realities.

While Loki's actions opened the door to the return of Kang's many Variants and another Multiversal War, Marvel Studios has since shifted focus to Doctor Doom. He'll presumably travel to what used to be the Citadel at the End of Time to take Loki's powers, and it seems likely that Incursions may be a result of the anti-hero being unable to sustain this new Multiverse.

In the newly released Marvel Studios' Loki: Season Two - The Art of The Series book, it's revealed that, to drive home just how powerful Thor's brother is, there were plans for him to meet the Living Tribunal.

The Living Tribunal is a powerful cosmological entity known for exacting impartial...

While early speculation hinted that he might take on a leadership role, a new report clarifies that Reed Richards won’t be the film’s main focus. Still, that doesn’t...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps star Pedro Pascal has repeatedly denied that Reed Richards will lead Earth's Mightiest Heroes in Avengers: Doomsday. Marvel's First Family is expected to be integral to the story, but talk of Mister Fantastic being in charge stemmed from filmmaker Matt Shakman's comments being taken out of context.

Variety has now chimed in, confirming that "Pascal is not the centerpiece, but does have an integral role." This comes after reports about Chris Hemsworth's Thor being one of the movie's leads; however, similar to Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, it appears the villainous Doctor Doom will be at the heart of this story.

The trade notes, "'Avengers: Doomsday' will feature at least one mega-payday in Robert Downey Jr., who is returning to the Marvel fold as villain Doctor Doom. Sources say Downey Jr. has earned between $500 million and $600 million over the course of...

While Marvel Studios is currently busy with the ambitious Avengers: Doomsday production and the start of work on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the company is always looking to the future. Ever since the earliest days of its conception, there had always been a loose plan for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and which projects would be tackled next. With Fantastic Four: First Steps now released in theaters, one of the next projects being meticulously developed is the X-Men. Now, a new report has indicated that most casting rumors for the highly anticipated re-introduction of Mutants may not be true.

According to a new report via Variety, which drew information from industry insiders, Marvel Studios is developing its upcoming slate with great care. While projects like Blade and another Deadpool film aren't currently being prioritized, there are other films, like Black Panther 3 and X-Men, that are moving full steam ahead. Kevin Feige...

Lily James will join Chris Hemsworth in Subversion, a project which has been described as a “Die Hard on a submarine” style thriller.

The film follows “a once-promising naval commander (Hemsworth) who is blackmailed by a cartel-like organization into piloting a dangerous submarine carrying illegal cargo across international waters. Thrust into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, with a Coast Guard officer (James) in hot pursuit, he must outmaneuver blockades and navigate perilous threats both inside and outside the submarine.” Subversion will be directed by Patrick Vollrath from a script by Andrew Ferguson. Lorenzo di Bonaventura is set to produce through his di Bonaventura Pictures banner, with production looking to kick off in Australia this fall.
