Dave Bautista on Playing a Failure and Channeling His Rage in Dune: Part Two

When you look at Dave Bautista, the last thing you think of is failure. Even if he wasn’t a former wrestling superstar turned mega movie star, if you saw this tall, muscular, tattoo-covered man walking down the street, you’d instantly think he’s got it figured out. But in Dune: Part Two, Bautista’s character doesn’t have anything figured out. And the actor loves him for it.Working With Recasted CharactersOnce again, Bautista is Glossu Rabban Harkonnen, nephew of Baron Harkonnen and the new lord of Arrakis... having…

Robert Downey Jr. Wishes His MCU Work Got More Real Recognition

Rogue Squadron Should’ve Existed This Weekend

Ever since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, Disney has struggled with getting more Star Wars movies off the ground. In the years since, Lucasfilm has had a nasty habit of announcing things for the series and then not making them, if they ever actually existed at all. And it all dates back to December 10, 2020, where Disney’s Investor Day livestream saw a plethora of new Star Wars projects get revealed.

Marvel Became Its Own Worst Enemy in 2023

This year, the once-untouchable Marvel Studios finally showed some vulnerability. For 15 years, the studio behind some of the biggest and best superhero movies ever was all but invincible. Every single gamble paid off. Every story expertly seeded over a decade blossomed beautifully. And even in the less cohesive few years after Avengers: Endgame, when the studio was releasing all manner of seemingly unrelated, superfluous shows and movies, it all seemed to work out. The Woman Who Would Be PhotonNot so much in 2023—which…

Marvel Studios’ Disastrous Year, From Jonathan Majors to ‘The Marvels’

Oh, how the folks behind Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have fallen. Going into 2023, Marvel Studios was still busy licking their wounds from the previous year. Recent big-screen entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe had underwhelmed, notably Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder (despite the involvement of genre MVPs like Sam Raimi and Taika Waititi, respectively). The much-anticipated Black Panther sequel paid tribute to its star Chadwick Boseman, yet his absence somehow made the…

That’s exactly what happened when 2021's Spider-Man No Way Home had its incredibly successful run. For the film’s star though, Tom Holland, a sequel isn’t a sure thing. To him, there’s more to it than money.
