Dwayne Johnson Appearing in ‘Deadpool 3’ Isn’t That Big of a Stretch

Now that Black Adam has been officially cast on the DCU scrapheap as one of James Gunn’s first orders of business, speculation instantly ignited as to where Dwayne Johnson goes next. Naturally, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was pinpointed as a potential destination, even if hijacking a moving tribute to the late, great Stan Lee was several steps too far.

James Wan Pushes Back Against Horror Fans Complaining That M3GAN Isn’t R-Rated

When it comes to die-hard horror fans, many like their movies to be gore fests in the vein of this year’s surprise hit, Terrifier 2.

Boeing BA -0.23% investors are rightly focused on when the company will make decent money again in 2023 after an ignominious few years.

Ming-Chi Kuo: the iPad mini isn’t going away yet, the foldable iPad will be pricey

The iPhone didn’t immediately kill off the iPod, the MP3 player was cheaper, so it hung around for a few years. Now that Apple is preparing to enter a new product category, foldables, rumors are swirling that it will kill off a product from an old one – The Elec reported that Cupertino is planning to discontinue the iPad mini after its foldable tablet hits the market. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo disagrees with that assessment and the reasoning is simple – the foldable iPad will have a “markedly higher price” than the mini.…

Under normal circumstances, you’d expect the return of Shock Wave co-writer and director Herman Yau to reunite with star Andy Lau for a movie called Shock Wave 2 would make it pretty obvious and incredibly straightforward to decipher that the movie is a sequel, but it isn’t quite as simple as that. Sure, the leading man may have played a member of the Explosive Ordinance Disposal Bureau in both, but Lau played Cheung Choi-san in the first installment and Poon Sing-fung in the second, with the entire supporting cast being…

Ryan Reynolds Rejects the Notion That ‘Deadpool’ Isn’t a Christmas Movie

As the never-ending Die Hard debate has proven every single year since 1988, it’s hard to get a unanimous consensus on what qualifies as a Christmas movie if it isn’t explicitly stated.

Dwayne Johnson’s Track Record as ‘Franchise Viagra’ Isn’t All That Great

If you’re going to call yourself “Franchise Viagra,” then you better produce the receipts to back it up. For a while, Dwayne Johnson did exactly that, but his success in either maintaining or launching blockbuster IP has been on a downward slope for years, with Black Adam the latest to fall into the one-and-done camp. In The Rock’s defense, his additions to the Fast & Furious, Jumanji, and Journey brands coincided with a noticeable uptick in box office returns, but when you dig a little deeper beneath the surface, it…
