The Apple TV app is not particularly outstanding on any platform, but the tv.apple.com website is by far the most primitive. Since Apple TV+ launched in 2019, the website has lacked key features like access to your Up Next queue, category or tabbed navigation, and a search bar. At least one of those things has now been resolved. The Apple TV+ website now features an ‘Up Next on Apple TV+’ row....

The Apple unionization movement is taking place at a time when union membership is at an all-time low, but public support for unions is at the highest point seen since 1965.

Warner Bros. could see Aquaman open to over $120 million in its extended holiday opening weekend. WB and DC Films are attempting to bring the DC movie universe to glory after a bit of a divisive start. By every early indicator, it looks like they will accomplish this goal with Jason Momoa’s solo Aquaman movie. The movie sees director James Wan bring his own complete vision of Aquaman and Atlantis to the big screen, and the reactions have been very positive so far....

Like Thanos and Killmonger before him, the villain of DC’s Aquaman will have a fairly sympathetic reason for waging war against an entire people. Superhero films are often knocked for providing the protagonist with a one-dimensional lead, but that’s slowly been changing over the years. Marvel has been praised for Loki, Cottonmouth, Kingpin, and more, who have added charisma and relatable goals to the traditional desire to kill and rule. Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War were especially praised for this, as the murderous foes of both films could almost be viewed as anti-heroes in a light similar to The Punisher....

Child’s Play star Aubrey Plaza “auditioned” for a potential role as Catwoman in The Batman by acting like a cat and licking The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert. With Robert Pattinson officially in place as the new Caped Crusader, rumors are flying fast and furious about the other Batman characters that may show up in Matt Reeves’ upcoming franchise reset movie The Batman. Though nothing has been confirmed yet, there are solid indications that The Penguin will be the main bad guy in Reeves’ film, and indeed Josh Gad has already frequently thrown his name in the ring for that particular role....

For the most part, Avengers: Endgame was a tightly plotted, complex blockbuster that kept the audience guessing and constantly defied their expectations. However, one thing that the movie failed to explore (but the rest of the MCU might) is all the alternate timelines that were created while the Avengers were carrying out their “Time Heist” plan. The plan worked perfectly, with all the Infinity Stones making their way back to base to be placed in the Iron Gauntlet, but a ton of new timelines were created along the way....

Anne Hathaway has entered talks to headline Mudbound director Dee Rees’ big screen adaptation of Joan Didion’s 1996 political thriller novel, The Last Thing He Wanted. Reese is currently developing the Gloria Steinem drama An Uncivil War, with Carey Mulligan attached to star and production expected to get underway next month.

As of now, the company employs over 60 engineers, but it doesn’t disclose how many more roles it will open in the city, as it plans to “address an important regional matter.” To Calcalistech, Johny Srouji, senior vice president of Hardware Technologies for Apple, who’s also the most senior Israeli executive, said, “[B]y creating more opportunities for Palestinian engineers, we saw a way to help address an important regional matter while advancing Apple’s core values....

Batman V Superman’s upcoming debut has often been framed as the make-or-break moment for the DC Extended Universe, but many of the projects set to spin out of it are already in production. Even if the film was to be an outright box-office failure (which it won’t be, according to current box office predictions) it’s too late to stop production on the already-filming Wonder Woman solo movie and the soon-to-start filming Justice League Part One....

The flashforwards in season 7 of Arrow run the risk of revealing too much information about the characters in the series. So far, the flashforwards have already confirmed that several key characters on the show will survive for another twenty years. The first five seasons of Arrow explored a five-year period in Oliver’s life, beginning with the accident on the Queen’s Gambit and ending with his rescue on Lian Yu. Each season accounted for one year of flashbacks....

While the release of Avengers 4 is still a year and a half away, production is well underway in Atlanta, New York, and cities around the world. Thanks to various information from the cast and set photos, we already have a pretty good idea of all the characters that will appear in the film. Naturally, these returns bring with them the possibility of spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War—at least in terms of who survives....

Now that fans around the world have had time to see Avengers: Infinity War once, twice, or even 42 times, the anticipation for what comes next is through the roof.
