It was inevitable that filmmaker James Gunn would bring some of the actors he worked with in the MCU to the Dcu, and he's now named three Guardians of the Galaxy stars who will be part of Superman.

Gunn is currently overseas promoting the first DC Studios movie and confirmed in a new interview that Bradley Cooper, Pom Klementieff, and Michael Rooker will be in the reboot.

"I will give you something that nobody knows. Pom Klementieff is one of the robots," he said of Superman's Fortress of Solitude robot guards. "In that same scene, it's Bradley [Cooper], it's also Pom, and Michael Rooker is another one of the robots. We've got two Guardians right there."

Read Gunn's remarks again, and you might notice that, while he says Klementieff and Rooker will join Alan Tudyk as one of the Superman Robots, he stops short of revealing Cooper's role.

Fans of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure will get to dive into their bizarre world once again with the new Steel Ball Run story being animated. Set in the US in 1890, the story is going to follow Johnny Joestar as he takes part in a legendary trans-American horse race.

While fans are excited about the return of their favorite anime, they still have a few things to worry about. The fact that Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure: Steel Ball Run will feature a horse race as its main premise means that the anime will feature a ton of horses running next to each other, and animating that will be difficult.

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Cornucopia, Björk’s critically acclaimed world tour commissioned by The Shed in 2019, is now a book (out since Nov. 15), and a concert film opening January 24 on Apple, and in select theaters in March.

The 59-year-old musician was never your usual pop artist and Cornucopia is not your usual concert film. Shot on the Lisbon stop of the tour, it features media artist Tobias Gremmler’s otherworldly digital designs that look like alien aqua-flora imagery projected on screens and giant bead curtains. Olivier Rousteing’s bizarre sculptural costumes augment the fungi-inspired props by designer Chiara Stephenson.

After a disastrous run last year, Akshay Kumar is looking for a fresh start in 2025, and the lineup starts with Sky Force. Also starring Veer Pahariya in a key role, the film is releasing this Friday. Backed by the patriotic flavor, the biggie seems to be a perfect treat ahead of Republic Day. However, as far as the advance booking trends at the Indian box office are concerned, the situation is not that good.

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the actor was having a great run, but the post-pandemic era has been really disastrous for him. It seems that this poor run has affected the buzz of his upcoming biggie. Despite a Republic Day weekend release, the film isn’t enjoying much hype around it. Though the start won’t be that low, the...

There’s an immense amount of ground covered in “Carol Doda Topless at the Condor,” ironic for a documentary revolving largely around a pioneer who established a reputation in the 1960s as a frequently uncovered, immensely popular topless dancer at San Francisco’s legendary Condor Night Club. Directors Marlo McKenzie and Jonathan Parker unquestionably make efforts to ensure that the late Carol Doda receives a fair amount of the film’s spotlight, but aren’t shy about weaving in an assortment of additional subjects, both related and seemingly otherwise, mixed with a pile of vintage clips and footage of the era so as to create a portrait of a time as much as the woman after which the film carries its name. In doing so, does it succeed?

U.K. post-punks Idles enlisted Chris Martin — both the real one from now and the one from 24 years ago — to help them put together the video for their new song, “Grace.”

The clip is basically the same one Coldplay released all the way back in 2000 for their hit song, “Yellow,” with Martin walking along a dreary, empty beach in the rain. Only in the “Grace” clip is he mouthing along to the Idles song, a feat accomplished with a bit of AI deepfake technology.

The idea for the video came...

Idles stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday for a performance of their new song, “Gift Horse.”

The appearance comes one day after Idles’ electrifying show at The Bowery Ballroom in New York, where vocalist Joe Talbot dedicated “Gift Horse” to his daughter. The Fallon performance was just as high-energy as Idles’ usual live shows, and Talbot even changed the lyrics from “Fuck the king/ He ain’t the king, she’s the king” to “Fuck the king/ J Dilla is the king.” Watch their performance below.

Idles are gearing up to release their fifth studio album, Tangk, on February 16th. “Gift Horse” is the album’s third single, and followed the slow jam “Grace” and the LCD Soundsystem-featuring “Dancer.” The band has mapped out a lengthy 2024 tour throughout the US and Europe; get tickets to all US shows via StubHub and all international shows on viagogo.

Idles stopped by The Tonight Show to perform their recent single, “Gift Horse.” The punk-tinged song, released last month, is an intense rock number that is even more so live.

“Gift Horse” will appear on the U.K. group’s forthcoming fifth LP, Tangk, out Feb. 16 via Partisan Records. The LP was produced by Nigel Godrich, Kenny Beats, and Idles’ Mark Bowen, and follows the band’s 2021 LP Crawler. The band previewed the album with “Dancer,” a collaboration with LCD Soundsystem‘s James Murphy and Nancy Whang.

Idles have shared “Grace,” the latest single from their forthcoming album, Tangk. Stream it below.

Co-produced by longtime Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich, hip-hop producer Kenny Beats, and the band’s own Mark Bowen, “Grace” is a slow-burning track that takes its time building to the crescendo. “No god, no king,” Joe Talbot sings on the chorus. “I said love is the thing.”

“The song came from nowhere and everything. It was a breath and a call to be held,” Talbot said in a statement. “The only words or singing that came from our sessions with Nigel and I needed it, truly. All is love.”

Tangk is out on February 16th and also includes the lead single, “Dancer,” featuring James Murphy. Pre-orders are ongoing.

The death of Tina Turner is heartbreaking for anyone who’d ever marveled at the brilliance, basked in the warmth, been enthralled by the titanic talent of the woman born Anna Mae Bullock. Her resilience became an inspiration around the world, and Tina Turner’s musical and cultural legacy is unparalleled — an influence that stretches across generations and genres. The Queen of Rock & Roll title means so much in regards to her; when people struggled to remember and name historical figures like Big Mama Thornton and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Tina...

Tina Turner didn’t just pull off the greatest comeback in music history — she invented the whole concept of the comeback as we know it. She became a solo superstar when she was 44. Things like that simply don’t happen. That’s how old Brandy, Usher, Adam Levine, Lance Bass, and John Legend are right now. At that age, Tina Turner was just beginning.

Turner, who died Wednesday at 83, carried the whole story of American music in her voice, because in so many ways, she was that story, but she was also a lot more.

"Star Wars: Visions Volume 2" is an exciting window into the history and culture of places all across the globe. Filmmakers from Chile and India brought stories of the evils of colonialism.

It’s been called “a super powered sensation.” Critics have said that it’s “an all-American musical for an all-American hero.” And Dancer magazine exclaimed, “Every Avenger brought to life!” It’s the popular, audience and critically-acclaimed stage show Rogers: The Musical. And it’s not real…until now. The Disney+ series, Hawkeye, about the lesser profiled member from The Avengers movies, featured a tongue-in-cheek joke about a broadway musical in the superhero universe that depicts the events in New York in 2012 when the Avengers first assembled.

Deadline now has the details on Rogers: The Musical making its way on stage for real as it is set to be performed this summer at the Hyperion Stage inside California Adventure Park at Disneyland resort. Rogers: The Musical was first shown in the premiere episode of Hawkeye as joke where Clint Barton, played by Jeremy Renner, would take his kids to see the show in New York.

Fortune Telling is an activity in Fire Emblem Engage that lets players see what one of the characters in their roster is worrying about and whom they are thinking of. Knowing what a unit is concerned about does not offer any advantages or changes to gameplay. Instead, players can consider it "flavor text," giving insight into the character's personality and thoughts for roleplay or lore-related purposes. On the other hand, what a character thinks of makes a difference, as it indicates which unit will most likely increase the Support Rank between the two. For instance, if Timerra thinks of Diamant, placing the two in battle together can bolster their Support.

To gain access to the Fortune Telling mechanic in Fire Emblem Engage requires players first to unlock the "Fortune Teller," Seadall. For those unfamiliar, Seadall is an S-Tier Dancer unit from Solm that players can recruit after clearing Chapter 15: Dancer in the Ruins.

Fox revealed Tuesday that its oddball singing competition “The Masked Singer” is getting an oddball sibling series, “The Masked Dancer.” The funny thing about all this — other than, you know, another very wacky premise — is the idea for “Dancer” started as a joke on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show last January, not long after “The Masked Singer” premiered.

“So ‘The Masked Singer’ launched, obviously, our show — then it went on ‘Ellen,'” Rob Wade, Fox Entertainment’s president of alternative entertainment, told TheWrap during Fox’s day at the Television Critics Association press tour Tuesday. “I watched it and I was like, ‘This is great. This works.’ So we approached them. And that was like a year ago.”

Two major Oscar contenders just threw a wrench into the awards season. As reported by our sister site IndieWire, the music-driven films “A Star is Born” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” will compete as dramas at the Golden Globes and not as musicals. We’ve updated our Golden Globes predictions center accordingly, so go update your picks now.

“A Star is Born” revisits a story told in previous films starring Janet Gaynor (1937), Judy Garland (1954) and Barbra Streisand (1976), respectively. The Globes weren’t around in 1937, but they were when the Garland and Streisand versions came out, and both of them competed as musicals.

The 1954 “Star is Born” won Best Film Comedy/Musical Actress and Best Film Comedy/Musical Actor for Garland and James Mason. And the 1976 version swept all five of its Globe noms, including Best Film Comedy/Musical and lead-acting prizes for Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.

With her first foray into documentaries, “The Handmaid’s Tale” star and executive producer Elisabeth Moss extends her partnership with Hulu.

The film stars her friend and fellow Broadway veteran, New York City Ballet Prima Ballerina Tiler Peck, and was directed by Oscar nominee Steven Cantor (“Blood Ties: The Life and Work of Sally Mann”).

To curate the second edition, Peck assembled around her an international company of dancers skilled in tap, hip-hop, ballet, and clown artistry. For the doc — which screened at last month’s Seattle International Film Festival and Nantucket Film Festival — Cantor...

Lars von Trier is officially being welcomed back to the Cannes Film Festival. Thierry Frémaux has confirmed Trier will return to the festival for the first time since 2011’s “Melancholia” with his serial killer drama “The House That Jack Built.” The film will debut in the Out of Competition section, which means it won’t be eligible for the Palme d’Or.

The documentary Dancer follows a boy chasing his ballet dream. Here's our review...

The life of a professional dancer is not an enviable one. Full of passion and athleticism and success in a field where so many fall short, countless narrative films, documentaries and real-world accounts have also shown the career to be uniquely damaging to the body and the mind.

Dancer, a documentary from Oscar nominated Steve Cantor following the so-called ‘bad boy of ballet’ Sergei Polunin from his childhood in Ukraine to his days as the youngest ever principal dancer at the Royal Ballet School in London, his comeback in Moscow and beyond, attempts to dig into what this stress might do to a young mind over time.
