StudioCanal is reportedly rebooting the '60s series The Avengers, with the pilot already written. The original Avengers series ran from 1961 until 1969 and was a popular British television show. The Avengers has multiple connections to James Bond, with cast members appearing in both franchises.

When it comes to those who commit crimes against the people and the state, it’s up to extraordinary agents to avenge those wrongs. Nearly 50 years before the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was even introduced, The Avengers' name was synonymous with the television series which ran from 1961 until 1969. And StudioCanal is reportedly bringing TV’s British crimefighters back to the small screen.

According to Deadline, although the Trade did not reveal their source(s), StudioCanal is planning to bring The Avengers back in a rebooted series, and, apparently, the pilot has already been penned. Mickey Down and Konrad Kay serve as co-creators on the project along with Ben Taylor.

Recently-released titles by – very different – Japanese film icons Yamada Yoji and Shimizu Takashi adorn the Tiffcom sales slate of Shochiku, one of Japan’s oldest and most powerful film studios.

The 91-year-old Yamada, known for classics including “The Yellow Handkerchief” and “The Twilight Samurai,” is behind “Mom, Is That You?,” a heartwarming drama that marks the third picture in his recent “Mother” series, following “Kabei, Our Mother” and “Nagasaki: Memories of My Son.” Starring Yoshinaga Sayuri and Oizumi Yo, the film tells how a dissatisfied salaryman pays a rare visit home and discovers his mother’s previously hidden fashionable and outgoing sides. It released in Japanese theaters on Sept. 1.

Shimizu, who played a large part in bringing Japanese horror to Hollywood’s attention with titles such as “Tomie: Rebirth” and “Ju-on: The Grudge,” has returned to his horror roots with “Sana.” It depicts a musical curse that is delivered in...

Julie Chen Moonves questions Jag Bains' decisions as Hoh, finding his moves to be lacking common sense. Julie believes that Blue Kim will forgive Jag for his backdoor strategy. Julie wonders why the houseguests perceived Cory Wurtenberger as a dangerous threat when he didn't excel in competitions and lacked influence in the house.

Big Brother season 25 host Julie Chen Moonves wonders why the houseguests made some moves that were questionable in her eyes this past week. When Jag Bains won the invisible Head of Household (Hoh), he not only told showmance Cory Wurtenberger and America Lopez about it but also made the decision to target his ally, Blue Kim and Felicia Cannon. However, when both Blue and Jag won the Power of Veto thanks to the Power of Multiplicity, Jag shifted his targets to Cory and America. He blindsided them and backdoored Cory, making him the second member of the Big Brother 25 jury.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Fantastic Four #12While they’re most frequently referred to as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers are far from Marvel Comics’ strongest team of heroes. From cosmic powerhouses like the Annihilators to any number of Omega-level X-Men teams, the heroes of the Avengers could be outmatched by more than a few different groups. And one fantastic group of allies just proved that their odds against the Avengers are heavily in their favor.

Fantastic Four #12 by Ryan North, Iban Coello, Jesus Aburtov, and Vc’s Ariana Maher finds the titular quartet shunted to an alternate reality populated by dinosaurs where they go toe-to-toe with the dinosaur Avengers and make short work of Earth's Mightiest Reptiles. The team almost instantly breaks free of an energy cage generated by both Doctor Strange and Iron Man and squares off against their opponents. The battle comes to a complete halt with...

When Bethann Hardison co-created the Black Girls Coalition in 1988 — a group formed with Iman to shine a spotlight on women of color in modeling — she didn’t know she was laying the foundation for a discussion about diversity in fashion that would continue for decades.

“I just wanted to celebrate Black models. I wanted them to see each other,” says Hardison, the subject of the new documentary Invisible Beauty. Co-directed by Frédéric Tcheng (Dior and I, Halston) and Hardison and in theaters Sept. 15, the film details the fashion industry’s history of racial exclusion and her unflagging efforts over decades to push for progress. One minute into the film, actress Tracee Ellis Ross calls Hardison the “godmother of fashion.”

The title Invisible Beauty is a nod to Ralph Ellison’s 1952 novel Invisible Man, in which an unnamed Black man narrates what life is like for African Americans in the South.

John Carpenter is hands down one of America’s greatest filmmakers and composers, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a horror geek that doesn’t adore at least one of his movies. Born in 1948 to a a college music professor, Carpenter fell in love with cinema as a child and was out there making his own short films before he’d even started high school.

As the decades flew by, he was at the helm of some of the most beloved sci-fi and horror pictures of all time, whilst also composing the music for most of them, including the iconic scores for Halloween and Escape from New York.

Today, we’re ranking the director’s output, from Dark Star in 1974 to The Ward in 2010, but we should note that we haven’t included TV movies like Elvis or Someone’s Watching Me here, as we...

It feels a little strange to say this in August, but the 2023 Streamy Awards are officially over, and they handed out a grand total of 50 awards to this year’s top creators.

This was the first year Tubefilter and dick clark productions held Streamys in the summertime, but the change of season didn’t mean everything changed: For the fourth time in a row, MrBeast took home Creator of the Year, and for the second time in a row, Kai Cenat snagged Streamer of the Year.

As for Show of the Year, that went to Michelle Khare and her daredevil series Challenge Accepted.

This year’s ceremony was hosted by MatPat, and featured dozens of presenters, including Dylan Mulvaney, Ryan Trahan, The Try Guys‘ Keith Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld, Smosh‘s Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, TikTok Npc streamer Pinkydoll, Colin and Samir, Dream, Michelle Khare, Anna Sitar, Austin Creed,...

MrBeast was the big winner at the 2023 Streamy Awards on Sunday night.

MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) won two awards out of the five he was nominated for: creator of the year and collaboration for his rock, paper, scissors video with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, “Surprised he didn’t pick rock every time.”

Kai Cenat won streamer of the year, with show of the year going to Michelle Khare’s “Challenge Accepted” and the international prize going to Spain’s ibai. Chris Olsen was named as the shortform winner.

Other well-known figures who won this year include Jonas Brothers, winners of the crossover category; Logan Paul, who won the creator product prize; Jay Shetty, who won for his On Purpose podcast; and TikToker Dylan Mulvaney, the trans influencer who found herself caught up in controversy after she starred in a Bud Light social media promotion, who won the breakout creator award.

Sue Storm confronts Reed Richards about his guilt from turning Ben Grimm into the Thing, suggesting that perhaps they would all be better off without Ben. Sue believes that Ben has been intentionally tormenting Reed by reminding him of his own unhappiness, blaming him for his rocky condition. Despite the harsh words, Sue's speech is likely driven by concern for her husband and the family eventually reunites on Monster Island.

As Marvel's first family, the Fantastic Four has had plenty of fighting among its members over the years. One of the most prevalent pressure points among the group is Ben Grimm's resentment toward Reed Richards for turning him into the Thing — an act Ben has alternatively blamed and forgiven Reed for over the years. Though Reed often calls the incident his greatest mistake, the Invisible Woman has a different outlook on the event.

The creator of the Prime Video series Invincible, Robert Kirkman, told viewers that a live-action adaptation of the film is in the works, which leaves fans to speculate who will be playing the beloved characters. Invincible is the story of Mark Grayson who is working to live up to his father's legacy, but he discovers his father may not be as heroic as he seems. Invincible is releasing its second season in late 2023, and it has already been renewed for a third, but little is known about the development of the live-action film.

According to Kirkman, the development of the live-action Invincible film has been rather slow, stating that films take longer to develop. At Comic-Con@Home in 2021 Kirkman said, "I will say that there are massive efforts going in to make sure that the film experience is unique. I couldn't be more excited about the stuff that we're doing,...

Instead of the High Evolutionary, the evil creator of Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was almost a major Fantastic Four villain.

During his own Q&a on Twitter, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 writer-director James Gunn was asked about the villain Annihilus being considered for the movie. One fan tweeted at Gunn, "I saw you mentioned Annihilus as a possible villain for Vol. 3. Was he also going to be a candidate for Rockets creator?" Gunn responded to the inquiry with a "Yes."

Yes. — James Gunn (@JamesGunn) May 6, 2023

Annihilus was created by iconic Marvel writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby in 1968's Fantastic Four Annual #6. Although he has gone up against the Guardians of the Galaxy in comics, Annihilus is a primary antagonist for the Fantastic Four. The villain rules over an insect-like army in the Negative Zone,...

Thanos has an overpowered son named Gallowglass who wasn’t used alongside the rest of the Children of Thanos in the MCU, but could make a reappearance in the comics. The Mad Titan has no shortage of devout followers and complicated family members, but this son is a special case. Gallowglass is in a league of his own and could be quite the game-changer in a battle against the Avengers of Earth-616 in the upcoming Ultimate Invasion event.

Gallowglass made his first comic book appearance in 2006’s Ultimate Fantastic Four #34 by Mike Carey and Pasqual Ferry, making his presence known to the Ultimate version of Marvel’s First Family in a big way. Gallowglass is introduced as a living weapon of mass destruction and the leader of Thanos’ Acheron forces. His powers come from his volatile, neutron-degenerate body which produces unimaginable power and devastation if not used carefully. Sadly, Gallowglass...
