Since the first Avatar film took 14 years of planning and execution to make it to the big screen in 2009, it’s not too surprising that director James Cameron has been taking his time with the return to Pandora and the spiritual Na’vi people. Filming all three sequels at once requires an immense amount of preparation, particularly considering that Cameron is working with four other screenwriters to create the full story arc for a new Avatar movie trilogy....

The title Avengers: Endgame isn’t just a callback back to a quote from Avengers: Infinity War; it actually goes back even further to Avengers: Age of Ultron. While the most famous instance of a character saying “endgame” is arguably when Doctor Strange said “We’re in the endgame now” before he faded to dust thanks to Thanos’ finger snap (now officially known as The Decimation), it was actually the Avenger he said it to, Tony Stark, who first uttered the word in reference to the cosmic calamities facing Earth’s Mightiest Heroes....

The movie doesn’t need the box office help, but Marvel Studios should move the release date for Avengers 4 up. There were plenty of surprises that came with Avengers: Infinity War, but possibly the biggest came before the movie hit theaters. Following a seemingly random tweet from Robert Downey Jr., Marvel announced that Avengers: Infinity War was moving up a week to hit theaters worldwide on the same day. The move paid off in a major way for the nineteenth MCU movie, and is exactly why it needs to happen again but with the followup....

Kevin Feige teased that Avengers 4 will be about the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes learning how to become “a true team” together. Fans may still not know the title for next year’s Avengers movie, but the man behind the MCU has provided a hint about what they can expect from the next Marvel Studios ensemble and it sounds like the remaining heroes, as well as their upcoming recruits, will have to set aside their differences to ultimately defeat Thanos....

A fourth season for Batman Beyond is a possibility if the recently announced Blu-ray set sells well. Batman Beyond originally premiered in 1999 and followed Terry McGinnis as the new Batman under the guidance of an elderly Bruce Wayne. Although many fans were skeptical before it premiered, Batman Beyond would go on to be one of the most acclaimed DC animated shows of all time. It expanded on the mythos of Batman’s universe, bringing the continuity of Batman: The Animated Series many years into the future....

Director Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be the second major comic book movie adaptation to hit theaters in 2016 (following after Tim Miller’s Deadpool), but it’s very much the first ’event’ superhero film of the year. The project may have started out as a straight-forward sequel to Sndyer’s Superman franchise re-launch Man of Steel, but it’s since evolved into a gateway drug to a pair of Justice League films, as well as additional solo feature films for DC’s finest alike....

As was announced at the time, Phase 3 will include standalone features for superheroes like Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel as well as new installments in the Thor and Avengers series.

We saw yesterday how Apple may be making it hard for competing smartphone makers to replicate the satellite comms feature of the iPhone 14, and we’re now learning that the same may be true of Apple digital IDs – like state ID cards and driving licenses. Details are emerging of Apple’s partnership with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). These reveal that the iPhone maker not only got an agreement giving it first shot at trialling the tech, but has also had a key government patent for the system reassigned to Apple …...

The company is now offering free two-hour delivery in major metro areas for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch orders. The offer for free two-hour delivery is available today through December 24. Usually, two-hour delivery costs $9 per order, but Apple is waiving that fee for the last-minute holiday shopping season....

Apple today released a statement warning investors and customers that iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max availability is very constrained following recent factory closures due to recent COVID-19 restrictions in the region. This means Apple is likely lowering shipment estimates for the critical holiday period, potentially impacting revenue figures for the quarter, and customers should expect longer wait times when ordering a new iPhone 14 Pro model at the moment....

Having made a comeback with a fourth season on Netflix, Arrested Development once again reunited us with the hilariously inept and largely dysfunctional Bluth family, comprising of well-known Hollywood faces like Jason Bateman (The Gift), Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), and Will Arnett (The LEGO Movie). Originating 13 years ago in 2003, the Bluths have risen and fallen (and fallen some more) on the grounds of George Sr.’s ill-informed business decisions, so when season three ended in 2006 after cancellation, no one - not fans nor its creator - knew what would become of the sharply-written comedy....

Next year Ubisoft’s massively successful historical sci-fi adventure game series Assassin’s Creed is making the brave leap from consoles and PCs to the big screen, as Michael Fassbender plays dual roles in a new story based on the mythos of the games.

Batman’s had many Robin’s fight by his side, but none of them can compete with Dick Grayson. The first Boy Wonder has always impressed fans with his acrobatic skills and quick wit. The original Robin will be joining the DCEU, but not as a sidekick. He’ll be appearing as Nightwing, and fans can’t stop speculating about who will be chosen to portray him on the big screen. Since stepping away from Batman’s shadow, Dick has faced many foes and has hooked up with many iconic DC characters, from Harley Quinn to Batgirl....

In just over a month, two iconic titans of the superhero world are set to square off. Each day brings new, trailers, posters, and pieces of the overall superhero jigsaw that will be Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.
