Marvel Comics is set to celebrate Asian superheroes and creators with the release of the second edition of its “Voices: Identity” one-shot. The radical series aims to highlight the contributions of specific marginalized communities to the Marvel Universe.

This year’s edition marks the second time that Marvel is celebrating the Asian presence in comics, which coincides with the United States’ observation of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in May 2022.

The debut of the first “Identity” anthology series was led by Asian artists like current Shang-Chi story writer, Gene Luan Yang, who, together with colourists Marcus To and Sunny Gho, presented an alternate tale of the Master of Kung-Fu encountering a villainous version of himself.

Other superheroes of Asian descent like Ms. Marvel (American-Muslim), Jubilee (daughter of Chinese immigrants) and Silk (Korean-American) were also featured on the debut issue of the forward-thinking anthology series,...

It’s an on and off screen reunion for Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith and their characters when the latter guest stars in the very fun February 27 episode of The Equalizer. The actresses previously worked together in 1996’s Set It Off and 2017’s Girls Trip, while their characters’ past mission teaming up leads to some great banter. In “Legacy,” Robyn McCall turns to Smith’s master thief, Jessie Cook, when she needs help recovering a valuable painting stolen from a Black family during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Here are five things to know about the episode. Jessie’s Unpredictability Makes Her Entertaining … But Not the Best Partner “What’s the point of doing anything if you’re not going to have a little fun along the way?” Jessie asks at one point, and oh, does she have fun. She may be the best at what she does, but “she...

This article contains Fistful of Vengeance spoilers.

“Like the Avengers…but Asian.”

When Tommy (Lawrence Kao) quips this line in a Fistful of Vengeance, it’s almost meta. Fistful of Vengeance is the feature film sequel to Netflix’s 2019 10-episode martial arts driven series Wu Assassins. It is produced in the same spirit as Fox’s Firefly and Serenity or Netflix’s own Sense8 by the Wachowskis (which also had a lot of martial arts.)

Beyond Tommy, two other Wu Assassins leads reappear in Fistful of Vengeance. Indonesian martial arts superstar Iko Uwais reprises his role as Kai Jin, the San Francisco Chinatown chef and last incarnation of the Wu Assassin, an eternal superhero warrior out to save the world. Also there’s Lu (Lewis Tan), a mere mortal like Tommy but with ridiculous Kung Fu skills. Wu Assassins was a martial arts driven show, reminiscent of AMC’s Into the Badlands,...

Newen Studios, the Paris-headquartered production and distribution group, has strengthened its strategic partnership with European producer and financier Anton as it looks to become a major player in the feature film landscape.

As part of the new agreement, Anton is giving Newen Studios a global budget of €50 million ($56.6 million) to co-invest in the distribution rights of audiovisual and film projects. Anton first partnered with Newen Studios in 2019 to co-invest in Newen’s distribution rights for the group’s productions, as well as for third-party programs, across all genres, fiction, documentary, animation.

”The extension of the agreement with Anton testifies to the successful dynamic achieved by Newen Studios,” said Romain Bessi (pictured), Newen Studios managing director, who previously had a long tenure at Canal Plus Group.

“Numerous projects have been co-financed with Anton over the past two years, and with this new partnership, our scope will now include cinema, a genre...

“Emergency” starts out fast, loose, and boisterously nasty, with two buddies at the relatively upscale Buchanan University doing that thing that buddies do best: giving each other shit just for being who they are. Kunle (Donald Elise Watkins), in his button-down shirts, with a quick tongue but a tendency to gawk, is a straight-a straight arrow who’s invested in his studies. His parents are doctors (and rather stern African immigrants), and as he works on his senior thesis, which involves bacteria specimens, he’s doing all he can to live up to their highly disciplined dreams for him. He’s a geek, but not a dull grind; he likes to party. He just believes in the future. Sean (Rj Cyler), on the other hand, with his jewelry and sexy hair and homework-what’s-that? glare, believes in the dope he’s smoking and the moment it seals him into. He loves Kunle like a brother,...

Variety cover star Jeymes Samuel could not have been more ready for his big moment. The writer, director, producer and composer was suited and booted as he stepped onto the bright blue carpet for the Los Angeles launch of his wild Western “The Harder They Fall” on Wednesday night at the Shrine Auditorium.

Since the movie presents a fresh take on the dusty genre, the dress code was super fly. Samuel, stars Jonathan Majors, Regina King and Deon Cole, and the film’s producer Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter went for an “all Black everything” moment, all showing up swagged-out in head to toe onyx. Of course, absolutely everyone in attendance hoped to catch a glimpse of Beyoncé, who’d posted photos glam snaps on Instagram ahead of the screening’s start, teasing photographers and reporters into thinking she could make a red carpet appearance. (Spoiler alert: She did not. But Queen...

Netflix dropped the first official trailer on Tuesday for The Harder They Fall, revealing a brand new track from producer Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter.

Slated to have its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on Oct. 6, the western comes from director Jeymes Samuel, who previously collaborated with Jay-Z on his 2017 music short Legacy starring Susan Sarandon, Ron Perlman, Emile Hirsch and Aldis Hodge.

When most of us hear the word “animation,” we think of cuddly imagery from Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse cartoons. We generally don’t think about sexual assault, racism and violence.

But the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ core exhibition, “Stories of Cinema,” showcases a more problematic side of animation history. A three-gallery experience titled “Inventing Worlds and Characters” looks back at questionable imagery and tropes. Through these galleries, they are exploring animation, effects and encounters. It both exists as its own genre and encompasses every other genre such as westerns, noir, documentaries, and more. It’s also a craft that encompasses all the other crafts such as production and costume design, editing, etc.

“When you have a completely unlimited craft by the laws of physics, you can have wondrous examples of pure imagination,” says assistant curator Dara Jaffe. “Still, you also get these extremely grotesque depictions that reflect the racism of the current time.

Exclusive: Village Roadshow Pictures has inked a multi-year first-look deal with David S. Goyer’s Phantom Four Films to source, develop and produce feature films with Phantom Four’s President of Production, Keith Levine, overseeing development. Levine also will produce alongside Goyer.

As part of the deal, Phantom Four will produce a remake of the cult-classic 1975 psychological thriller The Reincarnation of Peter Proud. Sean Durkin is on board to write and direct, with Daniel Ostroff, Michael Gaeta and Alison Rosenzweig also producing. The original film is part of the library controlled by Vine Alternative Investments.

Phantom Four and Village Roadshow Pictures already had announced development of Legacy, an original action thriller from writer Tj Fixman.

“David and Keith are not only peerless producers in the genre space, they’re also excellent collaborators with great taste and relationships,” said Jillian Apfelbaum and Tristen Tuckfield, EVPs Feature Film at Village Roadshow Pictures.

Screen Media announced today the acquisition of all rights to the documentary film Vince Carter: Legacy, which will premiere on the Crackle Plus Networks as an original title in October.

“Air Canada,” “Flying Man” and “Half-Man/Half-Amazing” were just a few nicknames attached to NBA star Vince Carter in his time with the Toronto Raptors, where he won Rookie of the Year honors with his high-flying game. Carter went on to become a Slam-Dunk Contest champion, an eight-time All Star, an Olympic gold medalist and one of the handful of players to score 51 points in a single game. He also may be the only player to ever to dunk on a 7’2″ defender by literally jumping over him.

What might be even more impressive, however, is Carter’s durability. High fly acts generally burn fast and bright, but Carter managed to play an NBA-record 22 seasons and, as his career wound down,...

Under Childhood is a column on children’s cinema—movies about and for kids.Buried beneath Looney Tunes slapstick and Warner Bros. advertisements passed as homage, the main conflict of Space Jam: A New Legacy (between a father and son who don’t share the same dreams) is a formative and necessary one. Space Jam (1996) opens with a reenactment of the 1993 press conference where Jordan announced his retirement from basketball and concludes with his return to the Chicago Bulls. But the more family-oriented Space Jam: A New Legacy is more about LeBron James as a father than as a basketball player. The successes of “King James” (the player’s nickname and Instagram handle) act as the film’s backdrop. The opening credits show James’ rise from a high school superstar growing up in poverty with a single mother to a legendary NBA player. We see his happy family of three...

Amber Heard has weathered the storm of hate and is here to stay as she begins filming for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

“Few actresses have endured relentless online bullying and smear campaigns like Amber Heard. These attacks from a vocal group of staunch Johnny Depp stans have led to a petition (with nearly 2 million signatures) to remove her from Aquaman 2. Luckily, online petitions mean nothing, and Warner Bros. is standing by Heard.”

Is Space Jam: A New Legacy secretly a body horror movie? Not quite, but it certainly alludes to it.

“To categorize Space Jam: A New Legacy as body horror might seem like a stretch, but the unnatural transformation the Looney Tunes undergo after the movie’s villain decides to “upgrade” the 2D cartoon characters into computer-generated 3D creatures is unnerving, to say the least.”

Space Jam: A New Legacy is stuffed full of characters - old and new. There’s a whole new roster of exciting Goons, and there are some hilarious live-action characters too, whether it’s nameless Warner Bros. executives or A-list stars playing themselves.

As movie crossovers are so huge in the current cinema landscape, the Space Jam sequel quite literally takes it to another level, with appearances from Rick and Morty and even Mad Max characters. But between Daffy Duck pathetically attempting to be Superman or Granny becoming The Matrix’s Neo, it’s still the classic Looney Tunes characters that get the most laughs.

Space Jam: A New Legacy has been called many things: crass commercialism on full display, a soul-sucking trek through Warner Bros.’ stable of intellectual property, an underwhelming family film. But now a confusing new descriptor is being lobbied against the sequel: “not Space Jam.” Joe Pytka, who directed the original 1996 movie, has been against the […]

Appropriately, considering one of the key attractions of the new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures are Dorothy’s infamous ruby-red shoes, the museum’s official opening screening September 30 will be The Wizard of Oz accompanied by the American Youth Symphony conducted by David Newman.

But there is much more both before and after the museum’s public unveiling at the end of September. The Academy has unveiled a slew of discussions, programs and 115 screenings over the course of the first three months after the doors open on the Los Angeles venue. Other movie-oriented events will include Oscar Sundays featuring Oscar-honored films, and “Oscar Frights” with movies like Get Out and Psycho. Spike Lee and Denzel Washington will be on hand for a 70Mm screening of Malcolm X. A program of movies featuring women composers is also on tap, and are retrospectives of filmmakers Jane Campion and Satyajit Ray among many others.

Seeing as they both operate in similar spaces, film and professional sports have had an interesting track record. While the transition between both doesn't always work, many of the biggest movie stars of today started off as professional athletes, such as The Rock, John Cena, and Terry Crews.

One of the most popular sports leagues around the world, many NBA players have also found success on the silver screen, be that through thought-provoking dramas or iconic comedies. With Space Jam: A New Legacy about to fill movie theater seats, there are more than a few notable movies starring NBA players.

Based on the viral Pepsi ads, starring Kyrie Irving as the eponymous character, Uncle Drew told the story of a legendary player getting his old team back together again to face off against a new basketball talent, played by Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon.

The quick cancellation of Netflix's new superhero series Jupiter's Legacy came as quite the shock to both fans and cast members alike. Now, more details have emerged regarding why the streaming giant decided not to move forward with a second season of the show, which had always been assumed to be the beginning of the platform's Millarworld universe.

According to a new in-depth report, it seems that Jupiter's Legacy was very unlikely to receive a second season from the very beginning due to behind-the-scenes problems plaguing the series. As is already know, the show went through major changes from the outset, with showrunner Steven DeKnight replaced by executive producer Sang Kyu Kim. According to the report, DeKnight and Netflix clashed on the budget for the show, with the former advocating for $12 million per episode, a hefty price tag for an unestablished show. The streamer eventually settled on $9 million per episode,...

Netflix’s one-and-done superhero drama Jupiter’s Legacy topped Nielsen’s U.S. streaming rankings for May 10 to 16.

The show’s eight episodes racked up a bit more than 1 billion total minutes of viewing, easily outpacing Startup, whose three seasons yielded 760 million minutes of viewing.

Nielsen measures only viewing on a TV screen of shows from Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video, with nearly a one-month delay by arrangement with the streaming services.

Last week, Deadline exclusively reported that Netflix will turn Mark Millar’s property into a universe spanning an anthology franchise. The streaming giant set a live-action adaptation of Supercrooks, which will explore the story of Millarworld’s super-villains, as the next installment of the Jupiter’s Legacy saga.

Netflix bought Millarworld in 2017 in the company’s first acquisition.

Bringing up the rear on Nielsen’s list, The Woman in the Window drew 500 million minutes of viewing, edging The Mitchells Vs.

Following the somewhat surprising cancellation of Netflix's new superhero series, Jupiter's Legacy, several cast members have taken to social media to share their reactions to the disappointing news. Leslie Bibb, who played Grace Kennedy-Sampson Aka Lady Liberty in the show said, "My Baes...i stand with my brothers in arms @joshduhamel @bendanielsss @mattlanter @mikewadeactor...this union is something i believed in and i will miss wholeheartedly...love you friends... xolb #jupiterslegacy."

This was following by Matt Lanter, who portrayed George Hutchence Aka Skyfox, with the actor echoing a lot of these sentiments saying, "This 1st photo seems fitting. A gang of friends who once was. Thank you to my incredible cast, crew and creatives behind #JupitersLegacy. What an experience you all made this....It's not every day that a kid like me gets to be a superhero."

Bob Fosse’s Dancin’, the hit musical revue originally directed and choreographed by the legendary Fosse that ran on Broadway from 1978 to 1982, is planning a return: Producer Joey Parnes announced today that he’ll bring a revival, directed by Wayne Cilento, to Broadway in the 2022-23 season.

“Bob Fosse created the original production as a tribute to dance, but we are approaching this production as a celebration of Bob himself – both the person and the artist,” said Cilento, who was featured in the original company. “We plan on delivering a Dancin’ that is every bit as eclectic and uplifting as the original, full of all its inherent edginess, but is also relevant to our current era.

“Every creative decision will be made through that lens to meet this moment,” Cilento continued, “from our casting of a new generation of principal dancers that reflects the vibrancy of our city to our...

Jupiter's Legacy will not be returning to Netflix for a second season, it has been announced.

Deadline is reporting that the series has been canceled, and the cast has all been released.

The news comes less than a month after the premiere of the opening season of the adaptation of Mark Millar and Frank Quitely's graphic novels.

While Jupiter's Legacy is very much dead, a spinoff titled Supercrooks is in the works.

The series focuses on super villains and will take place in the same universe as the canceled series, so that's a positive, we guess.

Supercrooks centers on a “ragtag gang of super-villains, con-artists, petty thieves and leg-breakers who all band together for the heist of the century and the most outrageous crime story you’ve ever seen in your life," reads the logline.

"Crime pays and they’re going to prove it. Some people just want to...

Exclusive: Netflix is turning Mark Millar’s Jupiter’s Legacy series into a universe spanning an anthology franchise. The streamer has set a live-action adaptation of Supercrooks, which delves into the story of Millarworld’s super-villains, as the next installment of the Jupiter’s Legacy saga.

Meanwhile, Jupiter’s Legacy will not continue as an ongoing series. With Netflix and Millar going in a different creative direction with the IP and the talent options soon expiring, the streamer has opted to let the high-profile cast — led by Josh Duhamel, Leslie Bibb and Ben Daniels — out of their commitments to the show.

“We’re confident we’ll return to it later,” Millar said of Jupiter’s Legacy, which could come back in a different iteration, sources said.

Netflix has an anime series adaptation of Supercrooks, the superpowered heist comic about eight supervillains written by Millar and drawn by Leinil Francis Yu, which will be released later this year.

Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool hasn't always been quite the character fans have come to love. His first appearance as Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which arrives on Disney+ this Friday as part of the Marvel Legacy Collection, could only be described as underwhelming. Not only that but was so poorly received it makes one question how they turned the character around to create such a monster hit with his solo movie debut 7 years later. The arrival of X-Men Origins: Wolverine on Disney's streaming platform gives everyone another chance to see just how bad an introduction it was.

It should be pointed out that the dismal introduction of the Merc with a Mouth is acknowledged no more by anyone than Ryan Reynolds himself. On the promotion trail of his first full outing as the anti-hero, the Canadian actor told GQ magazine that he really did not like the way Deadpool was written in the X-Men prequel,...

WarnerMedia has set up two Chinese-language series that will debut later this year. Period drama series “Legacy” hails from mainland China, while crime drama “Trinity of Shadows” is a three-way venture involving partners from Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Zheng Yu, director of the smash hit series “Yanxi Place,” is credited as creator of the show which is produced by Huan Yu Entertainment.

Together, they have re-assembled several key cast from “Yanxi Palace” including Qin Lan, Wu Jinyan and Yuan Nie. The series also stars Han Geng (“Ex-Files”), Liu Jun (“All is Well”), Miao Pu (“The Rise of the Tang Empire...

Viewers could be in for a visual treat when two stars like Akshaye Khanna and Raveena Tandon clash as rivals on screen for the first time in Vijay Gutte’s ‘Legacy’.

Being mounted on a monumental scale for a global audience, the exciting drama series would be shot across multiple countries bringing to screen the feud between the characters being portrayed by these two stars.

Directed by Vijay Gutte, known for his critically acclaimed venture ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’, ‘Legacy’ marks the filmmaker’s maiden outing on the Ott space, and the director’s second association with Akshaye Khanna.

Talking about the project, Akshaye Khanna shares, “It is refreshing to work on content that challenges our boundaries as an industry as a whole. Given the massive scale of the show, we are cognizant of the immense responsibility to deliver our bests to create a content piece the audience looks forward to.

Rusty Young, the cofounder of Poco and only member to last though its entire five-decade history, died Wednesday at 75 of a heart attack at his Davisville, Missouri home, a representative confirmed.

“I just received word that my friend Rusty Young has passed away and crossed that line into eternity,” cofounder Richie Furay said in a statement. “My heart is saddened; he was a dear and longtime friend who help me pioneer and create a new Southern California musical sound called ‘country rock.’ He was an innovator on the steel guitar and carried the name Poco on for more than 50 years. Our friendship was real and he will be deeply missed. My prayers are with his wife, Mary, and his children Sara and Will.”

Poco and Young continued to tour through March 2020, finally derailed by the pandemic. The group was formed in 1968 by Young and ex-Buffalo Springfield members Furay and Jim Messina.

It’s never easy to say goodbye to a beloved character. But the festive funeral in Part 3 of Netflix’s Family Reunion certainly helped soften the blow.

Arguably the most touching of the eight new installments when the sitcom returned Monday, Episode 7 (titled “Remember When the Glass Passed?”) focuses on the sudden and unexpected death of Principal Glass (guest star Mark Curry) and how it impacts each of the McKellan kids.

The Disney+ series scored multiple nominations in several categories, including three of the four noms for Outstanding Compositing in an Episode.

HBO’s “Lovecraft Country” finished a distant second in the television categories with four nominations, while Pixar’s “Soul” landed five to lead all films.

Among live-action features, “Mulan,” “Project Power” and “The Witches” led with three nominations each. In the Outstanding Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature category, the Ves category that most closely corresponds to the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, the nominees were “Jingle-Jangle: A Christmas Journey,” “The Midnight Sky,” “Project Power,” “Tenet” and “The Witches.”

The film nominations reinforced what a strange year 2020 was, with the kind of large-scale, effects-driven films that often do well at the box office and in VFX...

Resetera, one of the internet’s largest video game forums, banned all promotional material for Avalanche Studios’ upcoming “Hogwarts Legacy” following reports that one of the game’s lead designers previously created YouTube videos praising Gamergate.

Freelance journalist Liam Robertson tweeted screenshots of Avalanche Studios lead designer Troy Leavitt’s YouTube account on February 19 that showcased videos with titles such as “The Injustice of Social Justice,” “In Praise of Cultural Appropriation,” and “In Defense of John Lasseter,” a former Pixar executive who left the company in 2018 following sexual misconduct allegations. Leavitt’s comments on social media, combined with “Harry Potter” creator J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans comments on social media, incentivized Resetera to ban all promotinal material regarding the upcoming video game.

“This is the first time we’ve done something like this, and we consider this a very exceptional case,” Hecht, a Resetera administrator, said in a Tuesday statement on the forum.

We came for The Mandalorian, stuck around for WandaVision, and, as we wait for The Falcon and Winter Soldier and Loki to arrive, there’s now a huge pile of new catalogue additions to work through, courtesy of Disney Plus’ Star brand.

Star launched on the Disney Plus streaming service in territories outside of the US (where Disney already has a home for adult drama in Hulu) on the 23rd of February. It’s added over 75 TV shows and 280 feature films here in the UK, including the entirety of Lost, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, Glee, Prison Break, Sons of Anarchy and Scrubs as well as cult favourites Firefly, Flashforward, Terriers and more. There are also some UK debuts in the form of the Star Originals listed below.

Film-wise, there’s ample reason to go back to the 90s in the form of Arachnophobia, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,...

Queen Latifah’s take on “The Equalizer” landed 20.4 million total viewers immediately following CBS’ Super Bowl Lv. That is 14% smaller than the post-Super Bowl audience for last year’s episode of “The Masked Singer” on Fox.

“The Equalizer,” which started at 10:39 p.m. Et, had a 5.1 rating among adults 18-49.

The 2021 big game itself, a one-sided contest dominated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, drew 96.4 million total viewers across a bunch of platforms. That tally, which fairly or unfairly (in a Covid year) includes out-of-home (Ooh) viewing, was down 15% from 2020’s Super Bowl Liv and is the smallest audience for a Super Bowl since 2007.

Last year’s Super Bowl, which aired on Fox, initially tallied 102 million total viewers across Fox, Fox Deportes and Fox’s, the NFL’s and Verizon’s digital properties. Fox’s broadcast channel hauled in 99.9 million of that 102 million total as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers.

"I have never been loved by anyone the way that you have loved me, and I am so sorry that I haven't known how to love you back." Zoe Lister-Jones utters this beautiful line with such emotion, you might expect it to be part of a dashing romantic monologue. The reality is much better and more heart-wrenching. In How It Ends - which premiered at the virtual Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 29 - Lister-Jones's Liza explores her insecurities at the end of the world with her metaphysical younger self, played by Cailee Spaeny, by her side.

"We were living it as we were performing it."

Lister-Jones and her husband (and frequent creative partner), Daryl Wein, cooked up the apocalyptic project at the beginning of Covid-19 shelter-in-place. Although the film makes no mention of the pandemic, Lister-Jones told Popsugar the real-life parallels were intentional. "We were living it as we were performing it,...
