No, this isn’t the trailer for another new spin-off fromThe Walking Dead. Earlier today, Netflix released the first official trailer for Season 2 ofRaising Dion, the superhero series centering on Dion (Ja’Siah Young), a kid super with badass abilities. There’s some bad news for those of you who thought we’d see off the Crooked Man (Jason Ritter) for good after that series finale: the trailer confirms that he’s back, vengeful, and… raising up the dead, apparently....

Chukwudi Iwujiis the cosmic big bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the mad High Evolutionary inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. It’s the latest step in a blossoming career for the accomplished actor. Still, before he joined the MCU, Iwuji had a much smaller role in directorChad Stahelskiand starKeanu Reeves' hit action series, theJohn Wickfranchise. Chukwudi Iwuji’s Character in ‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ is Basically a Cameo Chukwudi Iwuji plays the character of Akoni inJohn Wick: Chapter 2, but we wouldn’t blame you for not remembering that as his character, the character only shows up in a single scene....

The romcom genre has pretty much died off in the past decade or so. There are occasional moments where it rears its head, but for the most part, too many stale entries rendered it into self-parody, and because (gasp) it wasn’t directed primarily at young men, the only demographic, worth serving for Hollywood, there wasn’t much of an impetus to make more. Thankfully, Netflix doesn’t have to worry about those trends so much and can appeal to “niche” (if you can call one of the most popular genres for decades a niche) audiences, which they’ve done so perfectly withClaire Scanlon’sSet It Up....

Few studio films have pushed the boundaries of animation in recent years the way that Sony Pictures Animation’sSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Versedoes. Produced byPhil LordandChris Miller, the creative duo behind surprising, genre-bending, and seemingly ill-advised hits likeThe Lego Movieand21 Jump Street, the animated Spider-Man movie triumphed as the underdog superhero sensation last year and just took home for Best Animated Picture at the 91st Academy Awards. Which means it’s a pretty good time to beBob Persichetti,Peter Ramsay, andRodney Rothman– the directorial trio that brought the wonderous multiverse ofInto the Spider-Verseto life....

Star Trek: Discoverypremiered on CBS Sunday night ahead of its beam-up to the streaming service CBS All-Access; the network netted 9.6 million viewers. That number could rise to 15 million once all of the multiplatform presentations are taken into account. It was also the biggest day for the network’s subscription service sign-ups, passing the previous record set during the 2017 Grammys, asTHRreports. That all bodes well for the future ofStar Trek: Discoveryas CBS looks to the weeks ahead, Season 2, and beyond....

The musical stylings of Jean-Ralphio are legendary, from “I got run out by a Lexus” to the high-pitched “Flushed with CAAASH!” to the classic “She’s the WOOORST!” But now theParks and Recreationcharacter has a new purpose in life: being the voice of BB-8. As he’d say, “I hope you brought a change of clothes. Your eyes are about to piss tears.” Ben Schwartzplayed the spoiled but hilarious buddy of Tom Haverferd (Aziz Ansari) on the NBC series, and he lightens the mood ofStar Wars: The Force Awakens....

When we last checked in onStar Wars Battlefront 2, the anticipated follow-up to last year’sStar Wars Battlefront, we had our first good look at the gameplay but just enough to get fans of the franchise excited. Yoda, Kylo, Rey, Luke, and Darth Maul showed off a bit and a whole lot of stuff blew up and for me, that’s often enough to get me interested in a Star Wars game. During theStar Wars Celebrationtoday, however, a new trailer came out that seemed to give a bit more context to all that chaos....

Iñárritu,Ridley Scott,Adam McKay, andTom McCarthyin a round-table discussion, and a similar talk withChristopher NolanandColin Trevorrow. Now you can addSteven Spielbergto the list, thanks toTHR’s ‘Awards Chatter’ podcastwith the legendary filmmaker.

The Fly Team is not like other task forces in the FBI. It exclusively operates overseas and is almost expected to self-regulate in most cases. However, they have failed in many instances, and once is enough to bring scrutiny to their operation. Supervisory Special Agent Scott Forester (Luke Kleintank) tried to keep everything above board as much as possible, but he failed in some instances. The new team leader is not as diligent as Forester, andWes (Jesse Lee Soffer) has flaunted some rulesin his short period with the team....

Animation is an ever-evolving medium, and the upcoming Netflix limited seriesThe Liberatorstands as proof of that fact, using a new technique to tell the story of an infantry unit which fought for over 500 days during World War II. The official description, as provided by Netflix: On September 9th 1943, over three thousand naval vessels and 150, 000 troops began Operation Avalanche, the Allied invasion of Italy… In an attempt to achieve tactical surprise, the allies forgo naval and air bombardment....

Are we alone in the universe? This question has boggled everyone’s mind, and no one can determine whether the answer being yes or no would be scarier. However, while things such as the Wow Signal andPhoenix Lights do existas seemingly unexplained phenomena that intellectuals are genuinely mesmerized by, those who claim to have met extraterrestrial life are often dismissed as mistaken, lying for their own gain, or labeled as insane. WhilePeople of Earthmakes no effort to convince its audience that these kinds of people aren’t odd, it does propose a comedic yet still frightening hypothetical:what if we aren’t alone, and what if those beings have been among us for centuries already?...
