Despite being some of the biggest movie stars on the planet, Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis only collaborated once in the late 90s, with their film being the center of a major controversy. The Siege was the first and only film the two did together, with each having massive hits both before and after they finally appeared in a movie together. Their films have endured for decades, and will continue to do so.

Denzel Washington has a particularly strong filmography in the '90s, with Malcolm X, Philadelphia, He Got Game, and Much Ado About Nothing. Bruce Willis was considered one of the best action stars of all time in that decade, starring in films like the Die Hard franchise, The Fifth Element, and Armageddon. When they finally collaborated on The Siege, it failed to live up to the lofty heights of the two star's other films, with the most...

Exciting Thor 5 fan art imagines the perfect darker story for Thor's next Marvel Cinematic Universe solo movie. Chris Hemsworth holds the record for most solo films in the MCU, with four Thor movies. The character's latest appearance, Thor: Love and Thunder, was divisive.

Revealed to be a genetic strandcast created by Emperor Palpatine to lead the First Order, Snoke became Palpatine's proxy during the sequel era ahead of The Rise of Skywalker. However, The Mandalorian season 2 may have teased where Snoke's own power in the Force came from.
