Aquaman is now officially the highest-grossing DCEU movie at the global box office. Previously topped by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the record-breaking fish-out-of-water superhero film is now king of the box office in the DC family. Prior to Aquaman’s release, audiences were mostly on the fence about whether or not it could succeed - both critically and financially. However, following early praise for the film, Aquaman ultimately took fans by surprise, not only becoming the second-highest-rated film in the DCEU (it earned a fresh 64 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, while Wonder Woman still holds the number one spot with a 93 percent rating), but giving fans hope about the entire future of the DCEU in general....
[SPOILERS for season 5 of Arrow ahead.] – Season 5 of the CW’s flagship DC series Arrow has proven one of the strongest so far, ably reminding viewers why Arrow proved so compelling in the first place. This season’s storyline, pitting Team Arrow against Prometheus, culminated in some revelatory moments in the midseason finale ‘What We Leave Behind’, and allowed the show to revisit moments from Arrow’s first season. Aside from the big reveal that Oliver Queen’s (Stephen Amell) ex-lover and crime-fighting partner Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) has seemingly returned from the dead, one of the more powerful twists occurred when Oliver was tricked into killing Felicity Smoak’s (Emily Bett Rickards) new boyfriend, Star City Detective Billy Malone (Tyler Ritter)....
The official Facebook page for the Avengers movies unveils a new logo for Avengers: Endgame that a sports a Thanos-esque purple and gold color scheme. Ever since Avengers: Infinity War left fans staring, mouth agape, at what they had just witnessed inside their local movie theater this past April, Marvel devotees have been absolutely salivating at the thought of new information concerning Avengers 4. Unfortunately, Marvel wasn’t quick to oblige, keeping all official details - including the movie’s title - under wraps until just last week, when the hotly anticipated trailer for the newly dubbed Avengers: Endgame debuted online....
Kevin Feige reveals Avengers: Endgame will return to theaters next week with additional post-credit surprises. The latest Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster originally premiered in late April, and had one of the most incredible box office runs ever. Debuting with a whopping $1.2 billion worldwide, the film quickly rose up the all-time charts and only recently saw its business slow down. Currently, Endgame is the second highest-grossing movie globally and domestically, with $2....
There was something really special about Batman: The Animated Series. Anyone could tell right from the opening title sequence, which didn’t even need to identify the show by name. Once you heard that classic Tim Burton score and saw the Art Deco design of Gotham’s cityscape, you knew you were watching Batman. While the series is iconic and fondly remembered, despite having only aired for a total of 85 episodes, it has its share of ups and downs....
[SPOILERS for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice ahead.] - Following the theatrical release of director Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice this past weekend, fans of the characters that make up the DC Extended Universe are likely looking forward with great anticipation to future stand-alone titles in the franchise. Ahead of the release of films such as Wonder Woman and Aquaman, some of the parties involved have openly discussed the ever burgeoning DCEU on the behalf of distributor Warner Bros....
Already dividing critics and fans, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was perhaps always bound to be controversial. The very thought of bringing the world’s two most recognizable superheroes to the screen and then setting them against each other was destined to create dissension and conversation among audiences. Batman V Superman gives us a seething, angry Bruce Wayne/Batman, whose first-hand glimpse of the events at the end of Man of Steel convince him that Superman is a threat....
With the release of macOS Monterey 12.3.1 on March 31, Apple has fixed two zero-day exploits in its operating system. However, the company is yet to patch these exploits in macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina – as these versions were likely affected by the same vulnerabilities and are still supported by the company. According to Apple, the exploit allowed malicious apps to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. A second exploit found in the Intel Graphics drivers could lead to the disclosure of kernel memory....
We learned last month that Apple was tricked into releasing personal data to hackers, after they posed as law enforcement officials with emergency data requests. A follow-up report reveals that some of this data was used to sexually extort minors. The latest report also sheds light on how the hackers were able to fool Apple and other tech giants, including Facebook, Google, Snap, Twitter, and Discord … Background Usually, a company will only release customer data to law enforcement officials on receipt of a court order, and even then will scrutinize the request carefully, sometimes offering to supply only part of the data requested....

Although Apple didn’t provide a statement about the winnings, the company writes in a press release that “CODA makes history as the first film with a predominantly Deaf cast to receive the award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, and lead actor Troy Kotsur becomes the first Deaf actor to receive an individual SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role....
Aquaman director James Wan isn’t too afraid of going against Mary Poppins Returns at the box office. Warner Bros. is hoping to bring the DCEU back in the good graces of many this year with Aquaman. The Jason Momoa solo movie has received positive early reactions, but isn’t the only major release on the way. One of these is Bumblebee, a reboot of the Transformers franchise that has proven to have a large following of its own....
The original Child’s Play released over 30 years ago in 1988. Much like the original which followed in the footsteps of other supernatural horror films of the time, this new take on the story echoes the current trend of technological horror films. Screen Rant sat down with Aubrey Plaza and Gabriel Bateman and discussed technology as the enemy, working with a doll that didn’t yet have Mark Hamill’s voice, and technology as a villain....
“Fat Thor” was the talk of Hollywood when Avengers: Endgame premiered, but Chris Hemsworth says the Asgardian god’s full figure actually freaked out his kids, who aren’t used to seeing their father looking anything besides healthy and happy. The Marvel Cinematic Universe had grown rife with loss by the time Avengers: Endgame rolled around to further tug on audiences’ emotions, and Thor’s visible weight gain and poor lifestyle is an onscreen representation of how the Mjolnir-wielding character was trying to deal with the Avengers’ failure to stop the inevitable....
IMAX has released their 2019 schedule, and there’s a debate as to whether or not it implies Marvel will push the release date of next year’s Avengers 4 forward to April. Fans are pushing for a same-day global release, and it is possible Marvel Studios is listening to this popular campaign. Marvel movies traditionally have a staggered release, dropping a week early in the UK, Western Europe, and some overseas territories....
The big event films that will essentially serve as the climax to MCU Phase 3, Avengers: Infinity War Parts I and II carry with them arguably the biggest hype and fan expectations since the first Avengers movie hit theaters back in 2012. Every major MCU character is set to play a part in the festivities, including the oft-teased galactic villain Thanos. It’s a pair of films sure to change the MCU forever, and projects like that deserve an equally legendary composer on-board to create a score for the ages....
