Doing press for his latest movie, Chris Evans was flat-out asked by a journalist: Are you returning for Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday? That rumor has floated around the internet for months, no doubt buoyed by the fact that Evans made a surprise cameo in last summer’s Deadpool vs. Wolverine, despite the fact that he was supposed to be “retired” from the Marvel Cinematic Universe after the last Avengers movie, Endgame.Evans claimed he wasn’t involved. But he wouldn’t be the first Marvel star to lie about a role in an MCU movie — and he wouldn’t be the first “retired” Marvel hero returning for Doomsday either.Avengers: Doomsday video we look at the facts and speculate about whether Evans might or might not appear in the filmWatch our full discussion on Chris Evans and Doomsday below:READ MORE: The Weirdest Marvel Comics Ever PublishedIf you liked that video on whether Chris Evans is secretly in Avengers: Doomsday, check out more of our videos below, including one on the original plan for Madame Web and why it was so much better than what Sony actually made, one on the connection between Wanda and Doctor Doom, and one on the canceled X-Men vs. Fantastic Four film we never got to see.

Stranger Things fans are worried about the ultimate fate of main character Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown, and even some think the teen might not make it out alive at the end of the series.Eleven has been an integral part of the Duffer Brothers’ smash hit Netflix series since it first hit streaming in the summer of 2016.Viewers immediately gravitated toward the show for its spooky atmosphere and mystery-centered plot, nostalgic ’80s vibes and lovable cast of Goonies-esque teen characters.Fans have loved Eleven ever since she made her first appearance in Season 1, Episode 1, “The Vanishing of Will Byers,” and they've watched the unsure, traumatized and quiet young girl transform into a confident, spunky teen with powerful telekinetic abilities over the course of four seasons.Now though, with the series’ fifth and final season set to air later this year, longtime fans are worried about what the end of the show might spell for Eleven, now also known as Jane Hopper.Does Eleven Die in Stranger Things?Nothing about the fate of the core Stranger Things characters is known for sure at this time. However, that hasn’t stopped viewers from theorizing and speculating.During an appearance on U.K. talk show The Jonathan Ross Show in March 2024, Millie Bobby Brown may have inadvertently hinted that her character dies at the end of the show thanks to some questionable phrasing.While discussing the final season, the actress hinted, “I know how she ...” before catching herself and correcting, “I know what happens to my character.”The initial wording of “I know how she” sparked fans’ ears, many of whom thought the actress almost blurted out, “I know how she dies.”Brown also worried fans during a 2024 interview with Capital Radio, when she admitted she discovered her character’s fate after “kind ofmyself into the writers’ room.”“I saw my ending and thought, ‘Oh,’ and then I walked away very slowly,” she cryptically teased.For years fans have speculated about the ending of Stranger Things, particularly about which of the core group might not make it out alive.Some fan theories suggest that Eleven is ultimately doomed, and might be forced to lock herself in the Upside Down forever to close the gate between the Upside Down and the real world, or will die heroically closing the gate and saving her friends and loved ones.Others believe Will Byers, who was the first to venture into the Upside Down and appears to still be connected to it as well as the series’ villain Vecna, will ultimately die in the finale.Of course, these are just fan theories. Hopefully, all the kids end up just fine and there's a big, happy ending!Stranger Things Season 5 will pick up after the epic events of Season 4, in which the kids learned about the evil Vecna, who ended the season by opening a hellish portal between the town of Hawkins and the Upside Down.The fifth season will be released in three parts: The first four episodes will hit Netflix on Nov. 26, three episodes will begin streaming on Dec. 25 and the series finale will air on Dec. 31.Sitcom Moments That Were Surprisingly DarkSitcoms such as The Simpsons and The Golden Girls are often seen as light-hearted comedies, but these darker TV moments offer a different, deeper perspective.Gallery Credit: Ryan ReichardGet our free mobile appREAD MORE: TV Shows Everyone Loves That Are Actually BadChild Stars Who Quit ActingStacker compiled this list of 25 child actors who quit show business, pulling from historical news coverage to include everyone from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to Carrie Henn, who played the little girl in Aliens.Gallery Credit: Sophia June #will #eleven #die #end #stranger

The Wicked movie was only half of the story from the hit Broadway musical. The conclusion — literally the entire second act of the show — is the basis for Wicked: For Good, featuring the same castand directed once again by Jon M. Chu.The first trailer for the movie features the song that gives the film its subtitle, and teases a larger role for Dorothy and the rest of her friends from The Wizard of Oz than existed in the first Wicked movie. It’s also got even more beautiful costumes for Glinda and Elphaba — Elphaba’s new cloak with those big lapels is really sharp.You can watch the trailer below:READ MORE: Why Are Trailers For Musicals Afraid of Their Music?There’s a new trailer for the film as well.UniversalUniversalloading...Here is the film’s official synopsis:Elphaba, now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard. Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible, Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard. As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyeroin a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boqand Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose, when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.Well that was quite extensive. Wicked: For Good is scheduled to open in theaters on November 21.Get our free mobile appThe Best Food and Drink at Epic UniverseIf you visit Universal’s Epic Universe theme park, here are the foods and drink you have to try. #wicked #good #trailer #teases #wizard

Science fiction encompasses so much of modern blockbuster cinema. So many big-budget movies these days are based on comic books, video games, and toys — and, in turn, so many comics, video games, and toys are rooted in sci-fi concepts like doctors who inject themselves with experimental serums or alien bounty hunters on alternate planets, or robots in disguise that transform into tractor-trailers or boomboxes.Comics and games and even action figures have inspired some good science-fiction movies, even one or two about robots that can turn into boomboxes. But we tend to not to expect Shakespeare from most of those sub-genres, and we tend not to get Shakespeare from those sub-genres all too often either.In the last 10 years alone, there have been some truly abysmal science-fiction movies — including then ten listed below, which might be the worst sci-fi films of the last decade. These are films about scientists racing to stop climate disasters, scientists racing to stop alien invasions, and scientists racing to stop themselves from turning into vampires.

Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread.

Guillermo del Toro keeps transforming old classics for Netflix. He previously directed his vision of the animated favorite Pinocchio; now he’s tackling one of the most famous horror tales of all time: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.For del Toro, this has been a dream project for many years — or maybe decades. He’s been talking about it publicly since at least the 2000s, and after several stabs at the project fell through at various other studios, he finally got to make his dream a reality at Netflix, who funded his version of the Gothic horror classic with an impressive cast that includes Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, and Jacob Elordi as Frankenstein’s Monster. The parallels between Victor Frankenstein pursuing his quixotic dreams of creating life, and del Toro’s own endless quest to create his cinematic vision are already getting me extremely excited for this film. Who doesn’t love a good horror allegory for the act of moviemaking itself?The first trailer for the film confirms that GDT’s Frankenstein will premiere later this year on Netflix. It also confirms that this thing looks like pure unfiltered del Toro Gothic horror. Check out the trailer below to see for yourself:READ MORE: The Best Movie Trailers of the Last 10 YearsHere is the film’s official synopsis:Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein premieres on Netflix in November.

It’s no secret that the film industry is dominated by series and franchises and shared universes, to the degree that every time a studio releases a successful movie, it’s only a matter of a couple years before that movie is the start of a new cinematic universe.Turning a simple series — first movie, sequel, sequel to the sequel, and so on — into a franchise only requires one thing: spinoffs that are just as well received as the original project. These could be based on pre-existing side characters who finally get their moment to shine, or based on related IP that exists in the same world but hasn’t gotten a feature yet, or an entirely new story with a couple Easter eggs thrown in to emphasize a connection.A lot of the time, this works. Every major studio is still chasing the highs of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — the Avengers saga plus all of its additions over the years. Other times, it doesn’t, and the exciting spinoff that was meant to be the start of an entirely new series of films turns out to be a dud, a literal non-starter, and whatever was planned to come after it is scrapped until everyone forgets how bad it was. Today, we’re celebrating these movies, the poorly planned, the poorly executed, and the just plain all-around terrible attempts to juice more story from a pre-existing world. Some of these even have fans, but even they will admit that the original is always better.The Worst Spinoffs of Beloved Movie FranchisesNot every movies series deserves its own cinematic universe of spinoffs. Gallery Credit: Emma StefanskyREAD MORE: 10 TV Spinoffs That Became Bigger Than the OriginalGet our free mobile appThe 10 Worst Sequels of the Last 10 YearsAudiences always push for sequels to their favorite movies.

Disney’s latest live-action remake, Lilo & Stitch, is a huge box-office hit, grossing hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide in a matter of days. But the movie has only gotten so-so reviews from critics and some audiences — and that follows Disney’s Snow White, which bombed at the box office and got even worse reviews from critics. That follows Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King, which followed a similar pattern, grossing a fraction of what the first live-action Lion King earned in theaters.Why does this keep happening? That’s the subject of our latest Disney video, which looks at all these recent Disney live-action remakes to identify issues that keep repeating throughout all of them.

Unlike the rest of us mere mortals, animated characters need not age. Bart Simpson has been fourth grade for decades. Homer hasn’t gotten any balder in that time either.So it’s always kind of interesting when the characters on an animated series do get older. That’s what’s happened on the new TV revival of King of the Hill for Hulu. Its central couple, Hank and Peggy Hill, are now retirement age, and their lovably little son Bobby ain’t so little anymore. He’s now in his 20s. That image above says it all.The series, created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, premiered on Fox in 1997 and endured for 13 seasons and over 250 episodes in its initial run, even though the show never quite attained the same level of cultural ubiquity as its longtime lead-in, The Simpsons. Both Judge and Daniels returned to work on the new version of the show as executive producers; Saladin Patterson serves as the new showrunner.First announced in 2023, this revival is going straight to streaming. Hulu just revealed the opening credits for the new season, which blazes through the years since King of the Hill went off the air to catch us up on the Hills lives in just 30 seconds.

If you’re reading this, congratulations: You’ve survived live ten years past the impossible future of Back to the Future — the one from 2015 with flying cars, wall-sized televisions, and rehydrated pizzas. We live in the days of futures’ past.From this we can learn two things: One, the real world sucks compared to the one we were promised by the movies of our childhoods. And two, the science-fiction genre always needs to keep moving forward, because time always moves forward as well. Technology that sounded impossible 30 years ago looks laughably old fashioned today. Progress comes so rapidlythat sci-fi needs to move fast too.Thankfully, the last ten years have given us an incredible array of futuristicsci-fi visions.

No kind of Hollywood movie is more beloved and more reviled than a sequel. People say they’re sick of rehashes of the same stories and characters; they bemoan the lack of originality in film and pine for the good ol’ days when the studios put more resources into creating new intellectual properties instead of repeatedly strip mining the same old ones.That’s what they say. Then you go and look at the annual lists of box-office hits and you see, contrary to those complaints, that sequels almost always rate at or near the top. The four biggest movies of 2024 were sequels — Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, Moana 2, and Despicable Me 4 — and five of top ten movies of 2023 were too. It happens every year, without fail.Creatively, though, sequels fail all the time. Some of the biggest and most financially successful franchises in history have produced many of the most artistically bankrupt sequels. In the last 10 years alone there have been a slew of examples — so many, in fact, that ScreenCrush decided to compile this list of the ten worst of the last decade. These sorts of sequels are why people claim they hate sequels — even if they keep showing up to buy tickets to most of them anyway.The 10 Worst Sequels of the Last 10 YearsAudiences always push for sequels to their favorite movies.

Today I will discover the hidden world ... inside my large intestines.That’s because I’m about to venture forth on an epic culinary quest. It will take me all the way to a mystic land populated by Vikings and ruled by a just and righteous king who has prepared a succulent feast of victuals roasted by the infernal breath of dragons.Translation: I’m eating everything on the new How to Train Your Dragon menu at Burger King.I might have fudged the mystic land part a little. Technically, this Burger King is located in Windsor Terrace across the street from Green-Wood Cemetery. I like this particular BK because it’s clean and quiet, even around lunchtime. Also, the scenic views of the graveyard really help put one’s life choices into perspective.Mine increasingly revolve around the consumption of movie-inspired foods. Somehow that’s become a central part of my remit here at ScreenCrush. When a major Hollywood blockbuster teams with a fast food restaurant I must eat all of it, document the experience, and then schedule a checkup with my gastroenterologist at my earliest convenience.Mother's Day - HTTYD IMAGEBurger Kingloading...This is not my first experience with How to Train Your Dragon food. Just last week I visited Universal’s Epic Universe theme park, where there’s an entire land inspired by the franchise. Its themed restaurants sell mead, assorted meats that might appear in a Viking’s diet, plus a few that might not — like a bread cone filled with macaroni and cheese and several different proteins.As for Burger King’s Dragon menu, they’ve got a “dragon flame-grilled” Whopper with a special bun, spicy mozzarella fries, plus a new drink and a sundae.Eating all that food and then taking a ride on old Toothless sounds like a great way to learn how to puke on your dragon. But let’s do it anyway and see what happens.I Ate Everything on Burger King’s ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ MenuIn honor of the live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie, Burger King now has an entire menu of “fiery” items.

Do you feel the need? The need for elaborately-themed entertainment experiences?Well then great news. Paramount and Advent Allen Entertainment announced today that they are opening just such an attraction, based on their 2022 mega-hit Top Gun: Maverick. According to a press release, the Maverick attraction “will seamlessly combine breathtaking visuals, high-energy entertainment, and the legendary spirit of Top Gun, complete with fighter jet simulators and more.”They also promise “guests will embark on a pulse-pounding mission using state-of-the-art thrill ride systems and immersive technology that will redefine the meaning of adventure, then kick back at the reimagined Top Gun: Maverick's Hard Deck bar and restaurant featuring live piano singalongs.” I can’t even make a joke about singing “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” there; they’re actually doing that!ParamountParamountloading...READ MORE: The Best Theme Park Rides Based on MoviesIt feels like such an attraction should be located in San Diego; instead it’s being planned for a site at the STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower in Las Vegas.Top Gun: Maverick was the long-awaited sequel to 1986’s Top Gun, the Tony Scott action film about Naval fighter pilots that turned Tom Cruise into a superstar. In the sequel, Cruise’s character, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, returns to his alma mater to become a flight instructor, training a new generation of pilots for a deadly mission. Despite coming decades after the original movie, Maverick was an even bigger hit than the original Top Gun, and grossed billion in theaters worldwide.While this new project represents the first attraction themed to Top Gun: Maverick, it will not be the first theme park ride inspired by Top Gun. In 1993, California’s Great America park — which was owned by Paramount at the time — opened a Top Gun roller coaster. The ride still exists today, albeit under a different name. When Paramount sold Great America in 2006, it removed the Top Gun branding and redubbed the attraction “Flight Deck.” The specific references to Top Gun may be gone, but the ride maintains its Naval aviator theming.This brand-new Top Gun: Maverick attraction is currently scheduled to open in Las Vegas in the summer of 2028.Get our free mobile appIconic Characters Who Made Cameos in Other FranchisesThese famous movie characters made surprising appearances in films outside their own franchise.Gallery Credit: Emma Stefansky #first #top #gun #maverick #ride
