Yes, There Could Be A Cobra Kai Extended Universe Now First there was Marvel, then there was DC, now there could be … “Cobra Kai?” You might not think that the stories of “The Karate Kid” and its follow-up series, “Cobra Kai,” would lend themselves to an extended universe of spin-offs and other various projects, but you would be wrong! “Cobra Kai” creator Jon Hurwitz dropped the news on us in a series of tweets, indicating that plans are very much in motion to keep the popular Netflix series going, in one form or another, for the foreseeable future....

Zoe Saldana Was Moved To Tears By The Opening Of Avatar 2 “Avatar” came out in 2009, and it’s hard to conceptualize how long ago that really was. As we’ve learned over the pandemic, time means nothing. The long-promised sequels are finally coming out, with “Avatar 2” hitting theaters on June 16, 2025 — and more on the way. These have been spoken about for so long, that maybe, like me, you didn’t ever expect to see them at all....

‘After Earth’ Review: M. Night Shyamalan And Will Smith Fail To Develop A Worthwhile Story AWill Smithmovie without charisma is like anM. Night Shyamalanmovie without a twist. It sounds interesting or different going in, but this one ultimately doesn’t deliver. Much as Shyamalan made his career on surprise twists, Smith made himself the biggest star in the world by focusing his talent and charm. Over his last few movies, the director has begun to move away from the “twist” hallmark, and with the pair’s first collaboration,After Earth, Smith also forgoes his calling card....

Next up:Aladdin, which hasWill Smithstepping into the iconic shoes, er…I mean, lamp of the Genie. However this film turns out (reaction to the trailers has been mixed, to say the least), it’s clear Smith is giving it his all. In twoAladdinclips below, you get to see the actor bring his Big Willie Style to the Disney universe....

‘Annihilation’ Director Alex Garland’s Next Project Is A TV Series Like ‘Ex Machina’ Or ‘Never Let Me Go’ Alex Garlandonly has two feature films under his belt as a director, but he’s quickly become one of the most exciting science-fiction filmmakers working today. And withearly buzzfor his upcoming filmAnnihilationsuggesting that his directorial debutEx Machinawas no fluke, all eyes are on what Garland will do next. It turns out, he’ll be doing much of the same — but this time, it’s on TV....

‘Ant-Man And The Wasp’ Concept Art For The Original Wasp Suggests Bigger Plans For The Quantum Realm Although the Quantum Realm played a pivotal part in the plot ofAnt-Man and the Wasp, we still don’t know much about this realm. Only reachable when Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) shrinks so impossibly small that he enters a whole other dimension, the Quantum Realm was meant to be impossible to escape — which is why the original Wasp, Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) has spent the past 31 years stuck there....

‘Avenue 5’ Teaser: The Creator Of ‘Veep’ Takes Us On A Luxurious Space Cruise With Hugh Laurie And Josh Gad Veepcreator andIn the LoopdirectorArmando Ianuccigot bored with political satire a little while back, mostly because the real politics of today are far too ludicrous and depressing to effectively make comedy out of them. But that’s not stopping the masterful comedy writer and director from starting a new series.Avenue 5has Armando Ianucci taking us to space aboard the luxurious space cruise ship of the same name....

‘Blade Runner 2049’ Trailer: Welcome Back To The Future A sequel toBlade Runnercan’t help but feel like folly. How do you make a follow-up toRidley Scott’s 1982 classic, which redefined is genre in ways that are still being felt today, without constantly being stuck in the shadow of its predecessor? We actually have an answer to that largely rhetorical question: you dragHarrison Fordback into the mix and you hire someone likeDenis Villeneuveto direct....

‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ Trailer #2: Chris Evans Becomes A Tool To Forge Freedom Earlier today we saw anew posterforCaptain America: The First Avengerand now the second full trailer, teased over a week ago at theHero Complex festivalin LA, is online. You can see it after the break. So there are a lot more early first-act details here than we’d seen before, but that’s pretty good. I think people can use to be sold on the skinny ‘Benjamin Button’ Chris Evans, and this trailer does it through a couple of nice moments....

‘Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: Sword Of Destiny’ Trailer: Netflix Is Pushing This One Hard For some reason, Netflix doesn’t like to advertise their movies as far in advance as most movie studios. That’s why over the past three months we’ve gotten a new trailer each month. Maybe they’ve figured out that the audience remembers the movie is coming to Netflix if it’s advertised closer to the streaming date than if they spread out the trailers....
