UPDATE: We explain Avengers: Infinity War’s END-CREDITS SCENE. After-credits scenes are a venerable Marvel tradition, but does Avengers: Infinity War have a stinger? When the MCU was launched back in 2008, a post-credits sequence in Iron Man introduced viewers to Samuel Jackson’s Nick Fury. Since then, end-credits scenes have advanced many of Marvel’s most important stories. Several even featured Thanos himself, setting the Mad Titan up for his starring role in Infinity War....

In Disney’s live-action version of Dumbo, the character of Dumbo gets his name differently than in the original animated film. In the animated movie, Mrs. Jumbo the elephant receives her baby from the stork, but the other animals see the baby’s large ears and start cruelly referring to him as Dumbo. In the animated movie, Dumbo spends much of his young life being taunted by the other circus animals due to his oversized ears....

Elijah Wood has tossed his name into the ring in hopes that it could land him a starring role in the upcoming TV adaptation of Y: The Last Man. Various attempts have been made over the years to bring the renowned Vertigo comic series to the screen, with the project being in some stage of development for nearly a decade now. Rumors of a film adaptation from New Line Cinema date back to 2009, when director DJ Caruso and Shia LaBeouf were reportedly attached to the project....

Classic Star Wars villain Emperor Palpatine could be appearing in the fourth and final season of Star Wars Rebels, with movie actor Ian McDiarmid reprising the role. Last month at Celebration Orlando, it was revealed the upcoming season of the Disney XD hit will also be the last, giving Dave Filoni and crew a chance to tell the complete story of the Ghost team and how they helped form the Rebel Alliance seen in the original trilogy....

A new study has been published that aims to show how popular Apple and Google’s first-party apps are and to specifically make the case that they limit competition as they’re preinstalled. The Verge got an exclusive look at the study that was paid for by one of Apple and Google’s biggest critics. However, Apple says the study was “seriously flawed.” Facebook paid Comscore to conduct the study that included asking about 4,000 people last fall how they use iOS with default and third-party apps....

Fear the Walking Dead producer Andrew Chambliss says that season 4 is accessible for viewers checking out the show for the first time. Set two years after the events of the season 3 finale, “Sleigh Ride”, season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead gets a bit of a reset plot-wise, leaping forward and bringing in some serious talent to play a slew of new major characters. The new season also marks the first crossover event of the series, as the time-jump allows longtime Walking Dead regular Lennie James to appear as Morgan Jones....

Retro gaming fans are in for a treat as ’80s classic Fireball Island makes a comeback in a big way. For those who ever played the original, 2-4 players were sent on a perilous trip to a tropical island and were forced to survive the volcanic eruptions of the idolized Vul-Kar. Spitting marbles instead of actual chunks of molten rock, Vul-Kar proved to a nuisance as gamers were sent flying off the board in their quest to capture the island’s jewel and escape to safety....

A leaked Star Wars: The Last Jedi Force Friday checklist has unveiled a good portion of the upcoming product line, revealing a number of new toys to collect. As many fans know by now, September 1 is when all the Episode VIII tie-in products officially hit store shelves. However, that has not prevented the merchandise from making several headlines over the past couple of months. More so than either of its Disney era predecessors, Last Jedi has been subject to a number of leaks that reveal what licensing partners like Hasbro and LEGO have in store come the fall....

Life is fragile yet cheap in Westeros, and a man often has to find means to prolong his measly medieval life. One of the best ways to do this is by buying or wearing armor, whether physical… or plot. Suffice to say, in a show like Game of Thrones, there is no shortage of knights and soldiers in armor– gotta do all you can to make sure you survive wars initiated by royal tantrums....

Out of all the of the latest titles currently being featured at the 2016 E3 conference, Gears of War 4 is among the most highly anticipated and preemptively wel-regarded franchise installments. Serving as the fourth main entry in the series proper, the new title from first-time Canadian developer The Coalition and longtime publisher Microsoft Studios is all set to deliver a brand new narrative set 25 years after the Imulsion Countermeasure weapon decimated the planet Sera, thus ending the Locust and Lambent onslaught....

Legendary actor Glenn Close joins Jonathan Pryce and Christian Slater in The Wife. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Meg Wolitzer, directed by Björn Runge, with a screenplay by Jane Anderson. It tells the story of Joan Castleman (Glenn Close) reflecting on her life during a trip to Stockholm. Her husband, Joe Castleman (Jonathan Pryce), is going to receive a Nobel Prize in Literature and the couple is traveling to Stockholm for the presentation....

Warning! SPOILERS below for Good Omens. Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, Good Omens was one of the most highly-anticipated new shows of 2019. This was due in large part to Gaiman himself personally overseeing the series’ production. Though Gaiman is no stranger to having his stories adapted into other media (Starz’s American Gods is based on a Gaiman novel, as are the films Stardust and Coraline), this was his first time acting as a showrunner....

Goodbye Christopher Robin, the A.A. Milne biopic, has released its first poster; a sweetly charming look at a tale of a father and son. This movie, it should be stressed, is not the Disney live-action Christopher Robin movie in the works. Instead, Goodbye Christopher Robin is based on the real life story of Winnie-the-Pooh creator, Milne, and his relationship with his son, Christopher Robin, whose love for his toys inspired Milne’s stories....

The trailer has arrived for Neil Jordan’s dramatic thriller, Greta. Jordan, of course, is the Oscar-winning storyteller behind subversive thrillers like The Company of Wolves, The Crying Game, Interview with the Vampire, and Byzantium. Many of his films have a supernatural horror element (as these titles illustrate), though that’s definitely not always the case with Jordan’s work. Still, be they supernatural or not, the characters in his movies are known for having their share of secrets - and that’s clearly the case in Greta, too....

Harley Quinn is finally putting the Joker behind her, and making herself the star of a revenge fairy tale in the process. That kind of heightened blending of genres, violence, and tragic romance is pretty standard for the average Harley story, but the new Harley Quinn Vs. The Joker comic does it all with a purpose: to show Joker what it feels like to be victimized. Speaking with Tim Seeley, writer of this issue along with all others in DC’s Batman: Prelude to the Wedding miniseries, the painful past Harley and Joker share was a major topic of conversation....

In the world of Dragon Ball Z, memorable villains are a dime a dozen. There are teenage androids, the bio-mechanical Cell, the bubble-gum-goop monstrosity Buu, and, of course, the illustrious tyrant Frieza. In fact, there is absolutely no shortage of fan favorite enemies and rivals who are just as iconic as Goku’s spiked hair and gi. However, to go even further beyond this bunch of ruffians, there’s an entire army’s worth of lesser-known enemies who deserve at least a little more recognition for their cruel deeds....

Disney’s animated 1941 classic Dumbo gets a live-action makeover in the trailer and poster for director Tim Burton’s retelling. The titular flying elephant is joined by several of Burton’s longtime collaborators in the film (Michael Keaton, Eva Green, and Danny DeVito among them), as well as newcomers to the world of Burton, like Colin Farrell. Written by Ehren Kruger (The Brothers Grimm, Transformers: Age of Extinction), the live-action Dumbo revolves around Holt Farrier (Farrell), an ex-circus star and single father in need of a job to support his children, Joe (Finley Hobbins) and Milly (Nico Parker)....

A new poster for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has been released ahead of the Warner Bros. panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where a new trailer for the movie is also expected to drop. As expected, the poster has Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) front and center, flanked by Tina (Katherine Waterston), Queenie (Allison Sudol) and Jacob (Dan Fogler), with Jude Law as Dumbledore and Johnny Depp as Grindelwald also featured....

After some teasing footage Neill Blomkamp has now unveiled a full trailer from his filmmaking group Oats Studios. Although short in length, this new official trailer promises that his forthcoming experimental short films will be very “weird”. It was only six days ago that the director of District 9 and Chappie released a monster-filled teaser, that previewed footage collectively known just as Volume 1. It was something that he’s been teasing on social media for months now, and came to fruition when he formed the production company known as Oats Studios....
