Kumail Nanjiani, who has been tapped to to play Kingo Sunen in The Eternals, was offered $15,000 to participate as a host and a stripper for an upcoming male revue show. It’s one of the more unconventional examples of how an actor’s life can change after signing on to star as one of the leads in
5 minutes ago The following contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. If you haven’t yet seen it, it would be best if you just moved along and came back once you have. There’s really no other way to say it: this Star Wars trilogy has been really weird. The Force Awakens

50 minutes ago It’s tough not to be jealous, I’m sure, but they can’t help stealing the Star Wars spotlight! The alien creatures in the franchise have always been especially delightful elements of the movies, and it certainly helps on with merchandising.

Warning: Spoilers for Shazam #9 In the first issue finding DC’s Shazam family complete, there is little time for celebration, or even stopping to explain magic to Billy Batson’s confused father. But history has been made all the same… as Shazam #9 barrels into the fallout of C.C. Batson becoming the Seventh (and final) Champion. But even
6 minutes ago It’s hard to believe it, but with the close of 2019, we also put to rest a whole decade of sci-fi movies that have come out in the 2010s. Much like any other genre you can think of, there were ups and downs, but those ups were exceedingly memorable. Come to think
