We’re just days away from the most anticipated movie of the year, Avengers: Infinity War, and as opening night approaches we’re learning more and more about what fans can expect from the flick. We’ve known for some time that Avengers: Infinity War is going to be Thanos’s movie, but now we’re hearing more details about MCU’s most notorious villain and how this latest movie will basically be a Thanos biopic....
There are rumors that Avengers 4 will involve a five-year time jump, which, if accurate, means we’ll never actually see Captain America and Iron Man reunite on the big screen, and there’ll never really be any payoff for the core conflict of Captain America: Civil War. The tentpole Avengers movies have always struggled to incorporate all the elements from previous films. Thor, for example, ended with the destruction of the Rainbow Bridge, meaning the God of Thunder should have been unable to get to Earth, a problem Joss Whedon dismissed with a throwaway mention of “dark magic” in The Avengers....
The Academy is in the process of recruiting multiple Avengers: Endgame actors to partake in the upcoming Oscars ceremony broadcast. After the Kevin Hart debacle, it was ultimately decided that the 91st Oscars will go on without an official host. Instead, the Academy will call upon a rotating cast of celebrities to introduce the show’s various segments. It’s a rather unprecedented situation (this has only happened twice in the history of the Academy Awards), and one that’s left producers scrambling as they try to iron out all the details....
Fans of the original Batman: White Knight have been counting the days until the sequel was unleashed upon the world, but for those who missed out, DC has a brand new trailer showing why Sean Murphy’s Batman: Curse of The White Knight is a version of the Dark Knight and Joker’s rivalry unlike any seen before. And the same goes for the book’s new trailer. The new piece of marketing delivers on the promise of DC’s Black Label imprint in more ways than expected....
The release of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is only a week away (give or take a few hours, depending on your time zone). In anticipation of what is likely going to be one of the biggest releases of 2016, Warner Bros. has delivered a handful of new and extended clips from the film, giving audiences a better look at the kind of movie that awaits them on Friday. The cinematic bundle totals six clips in all, adding up to nearly five minutes of new footage for fans to study before they make their way to theaters to see the movie in its entirety....
Apple appears to have given a unique custom AirTag display to members of the team that created the Find My trackers. The display includes six custom AirTags with the signatures of the team members staged in a sleek glass frame. The company has also begun to distribute their annual gift for completing the “Close Your Rings” Apple Watch fitness challenge. In past years, Apple has given employees custom fitness ring themed watch bands in a variety of different styles....
Farewell iPhone 6 Plus, we hardly knew thee. Only seven years after Apple released that iteration of its smartphone, the tech has been sufficiently dated by successors – and time – for the iPhone 6 Plus to be rendered to the company’s list of vintage products this week. Launched in September 2014 and sold through the same month two years later, the iPhone 6 Plus was the first Apple smartphone to feature an enlarged 5....
Apple on Thursday announced a major update to Apple Maps for users in Australia. The company is now officially expanding its detailed coverage with better navigation, Look Around, and other features to the country. A few users were already able to access the updated Apple Maps in Australia a few weeks ago, but it seems Apple was just testing everything before the official release. Now the update is available to all users with the latest versions of iOS, macOS, and watchOS....
After seeding macOS Monterey 12.5 Release Candidate last week, Apple is now making available a second RC version to developers and public beta testers. The company did the same with iOS 15.6, which saw a second RC version a few days after its first Release Candidate version. Today’s build is 21G72. Last week’s was 21G69. As of now, it’s unclear what critical bug Apple found that needed to add a new Release Candidate version....
If you’re still hanging on to an old Apple TV model, iOS 16 breaks one of the most useful features. With this update, you are no longer able to cast most content using AirPlay from your iPhone to your Apple TV. This only affects the second-generation and third-generation Apple TV models, which were released in 2010 and 2012, respectively. As pointed out by iCreate, this seems to primarily affect content that is DRM-restricted....
Earlier this week, FingerprintJS revealed a serious bug in Apple’s Safari web browser that lets anyone extract a user’s browsing history and even Google User IDs. As expected, Apple is now working on a fix for this bug, which is expected to be released to users very soon. Based on a WebKit commit on GitHub, Apple engineers are already preparing a fix for the Safari bug that leaks user data. For those unfamiliar, WebKit is Apple’s browser engine that powers Safari and other web browsers....
Apple is hosting a major Mac event on Monday morning where they are widely expected to unveil a completely redesigned MacBook Pro. Power users have been waiting for Apple to revamp the MacBook Pro since they introduced the 2016 model with the much disliked Touch Bar and notoriously bad butterfly keyboard. But this coming week also marks a special anniversary for Apple notebooks. As pointed out by Steven Sinofsky, this Thursday is the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the original PowerBook....
Avengers: Infinity War co-director Joe Russo has offered details on how the Infinity Gauntlet’s Soul Stone works - both in battle, and outside of it. He and fellow director Anthony Russo revisited their summer blockbuster at a special Q&A screening of Infinity War, during which they shed new light on the movie’s plot developments and offered behind-the-scenes details. The Soul Stone was perhaps the most mysterious of all the Infinity Stones before the movie’s release....
Marvel fans were left confused when, in Avengers: Infinity War, the Hulk refused to come out and fight Thanos - but Avengers 4 will explain why. Mark Ruffalo has said that Thor: Ragnarok was the beginning of a “Hulk Trilogy” that continued in Infinity War and will conclude in Avengers 4, and that this arc has been planned since the early development of Ragnarok. Hulk is a somewhat unusual character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, since he was one of the most famous Marvel superheroes before it began, but (due to rights issues) hasn’t appeared in his own solo movie since 2008’s The Incredible Hulk....
Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice has proven to be an extremely polarizing film, to the point where people can’t agree on whether or not it can be considered a financial success. It broke box office records during its opening weekend (including a strong $166 million domestically), but then suffered a steep decline in business the following weeks. While its worldwide total of $862.8 million is certainly nothing to sneeze at, Batman V Superman isn’t exactly the runaway smash Warner Bros....
In the history of filmmaking, very few productions have dared to tell the tales of life under the sea. Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, The Abyss, and a few scenes of Titanic are a few examples of filmmakers who decided to take the dive, but the superhero world has been shy of the water, until now. Aquaman is headed to the big screen, with Jason Momoa leading the charge in deep sea battles....
Believe it or not, it’s been a whole decade since Planet Earth first arrived on our screens. The stunning documentary from the BBC, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, was the first to be filmed in high definition and became the most expensive nature documentary series ever made. The cost was worth it though; Planet Earth gave a new perspective on the world in which we live, with stunning cinematography highlighting the beautiful, the brutal, the indescribable and the previously unseen elements of nature and animal behavior....
Ryan Murphy’s long-running horror anthology series, American Horror Story, has been a staple of modern horror television for almost a decade. While seasons have had their ups and downs, Freak Show, is highly regarded as one of the better seasons, but Murphy’s decision to mix horror with musical numbers just didn’t work. Freak Show, the series’ fourth season, felt like a farewell to veteran actress Jessica Lange from start to finish....
Amy Adams implies she’s unlikely to return as Lois Lane in the DC Extended Universe. The Academy Award nominee first appeared as the intrepid journalist in 2013’s Man of Steel and reprised the role in both Batman V Superman and Justice League. While some (including Adams herself) expressed concern with how the character was written in those films, Adams always made the most of the material given to her and attempted to put her stamp on the part....
BioWare, the developer behind Anthem, still believes that the game has a future. After its release, Anthem ended up becoming one of the worst-reviewed games in BioWare’s history. Thanks to a series of game-breaking bugs, a disappointing in-game economy and a series of other problems, players haven’t been big fans of the title either. As it stands, Anthem continues to remain a disappointment to most of its players. A recent survey showed that nearly half of Anthem players had experienced multiple bugs when trying to play the game with almost half of Anthem players quitting the game, with many others admitting they would quit soon....
