There’s a profane, adolescent energy to the Deadpool franchise, and the forthcoming sequel’s bizarre marketing campaign reflects that juvenile unpredictability. Over the past few weeks, star Ryan Reynolds has danced with Celine Dion, “spoiled” his own movie, and dressed up like a unicorn on South Korean TV, and now…
Josh Brolin is gearing up to have a huge summer. First up, after years of anticipation, he’s finally front and center in Avengers: Infinity War, as the Mad Titan Thanos. A couple weeks after that, he’s starring as fan-favorite Cable in the highly anticipated Deadpool sequel. Most people would stop there, but Brolin…
As is increasingly the case, we won’t have to wait long between superhero movies—just three weeks after Avengers: Infinity War fires its opening salvo, Deadpool 2 is poised to hit theaters like Colossus (Stefan Kapicic). Or Cable (Josh Brolin). Or Bedlam (Terry Crews), though, if he sticks to his comic-book origins,…
A new Deadpool 2 trailer is out, and it makes good on the X-Force hints and reports that reshoots would add a whole lot more Cable and Domino.
Whether or not the total count actually approaches 70, Avengers: Infinity War features an impressive number of characters. For their third Marvel movie, Anthony and Joe Russo have wrangled all the Avengers we’ve seen in solo outings, as well as the ones who fought in Civil War, plus a ragtag group of intergalactic…
As is becoming increasingly common in our modern blockbuster era, superhero comedy Deadpool 2 got sent back for reshoots earlier this year. Although the decision to reshoot sometimes gets seen as a last-ditch effort to “save” a film that tested poorly, more often than not, these days, it’s all about specifically…
It’s a generally understood truism of storytelling that every villain is a hero of their own tale. Marvel’s films have certainly benefited from this lesson; characters like The Avengers’ Loki and Black Panther’s Killmonger have both thrived mightily from the sympathy with which their characters’ agendas are treated in…
There are several questions we hope are answered in Avengers: Infinity War, including, but not limited to, where’s the Soul Stone? How long did it take Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) to grow that beard? And will we get to see Shuri (Letitia Wright), who almost certainly designed Bucky’s (Sebastian Stan) new arm?
The new Deadpool 2 trailer has given fans plenty to talk about. There’s the unveiling of Josh Brolin as the metal-armed, gun-toting Cable, Deadpool’s not-so-subtle jab at Henry Cavill’s poorly edited mustache, and 16-year-old Julian Dennison flipping a double birdie. But the real centerpiece is the shot above, which…
Early glimpses of Deadpool 2 have been amusing teases, but they haven’t offered up much in the way of the plot for the R-rated sequel, which sees Josh Brolin setting up residence in yet another superhero property. Our latest look at the film attempts to properly introduce Cable, but the merc with the mouth soon…
The trailer for Sicario 2: Soldado, featuring Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro reprising their roles as morally compromised DEA agent Matt Graver and his shadowy associate Alejandro Gillick, has arrived. The new film—which sees Italian TV director Stefano Sollima taking over for Denis Villeneuve—has been described by…
Deadpool director Tim Miller left the sequel last year over tonal differences—where he wanted to move past the first (and very successful) film’s raunchy humor and turn up the action, star Ryan Reynolds wanted to maintain the bawdiness. It was kind of a shame, since Deadpool was a powerful blend of comedy and…
As wildfires ravage the state of California, moviegoers may not be especially excited to sit down and watch a 130-minute reminder of how dangerous and frightening it can be to see fires tear across the landscape. But in a way, it’s surprisingly easy not to think about current events during Only The Brave, and not…
Hollywood is a tough place, full of backstabbing, double-dealing, pile-climbing, and all the other symptoms of a world full of A-listers trying to push everybody else down into the Bs. Sometimes though, people get really nasty, as demonstrated in a new Esquire profile on Josh Brolin, in which he reveals that James…
A few days ago, Ryan Reynolds shared the first images of Josh Brolin as time-hopping mutant Cable in Deapool 2, and while they were certainly cool and surprisingly comics-accurate, they hid Josh Brolin under a significant number of pouches and ammo packs. Thankfully, for anyone who is curious to see what the guy who…
Those involved with Deadpool 2 are working hard to assure fans that it will be just as funny as the first one, perhaps because so much shit has gone down behind the scenes en route to getting the sequel into theaters. But while assuaging concerns about bringing the funny has been a key talking point, costar Josh…
The Coen brothers’ 2007 film No Country For Old Men is unlike the traditional westerns it pays homage to. The good guy gets shot, the bad guy gets away, and the audience is left feeling uneasy about the whole experience. Perhaps the most non-traditional moment of the entire film is its seemingly unrelated closing…
Deadpool was far from the first superhero movie to put a particular emphasis on jokes, but unlike a Guardians Of The Galaxy or whatever, it did partly bill itself as a comedy. That means its sequel has to be funnier in addition to being bigger and more exciting, but newcomer Josh Brolin and returning sidekick T.J.…
In the Infinity Gauntlet comic book storyline that the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War movie is said to be loosely based on, the villain Thanos becomes so all-powerful that the only help he needs to nearly eradicate the entire universe is from Mephisto, Marvel’s non-union equivalent of the Devil. After getting…
Who he is: Thanos, a.k.a. The Dark Lord, a.k.a. The Mad Titan
