Most Marvel fans would agree that Captain America: Civil War was a pivotal moment for the MCU, disbanding a group of avenging superheroes that wouldn’t reunite until many movies later at the end of Phase 3 to take on Thanos. However, as it turns out, things could’ve been very different for the cinematic universe, as it has now been revealed that Marvel almost axed the fight scene between Cap and Iron Man at the very end of the film. A new book titled The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe recorded some of the key moments within the creation of the mega-franchise, and one part detailed how the Marvel Creative Committee disagreed with Kevin Feige and the Russo Brothers on how Civil War should have ended. While the latter group wanted Steve Rog...

With less than a month away from the theatrical release of King Richard, Warner Bros. has released a new trailer, this time focusing on the Will Smith playing Venus and Serena Williams‘ loving and doting father. Smith is cast as the titular character, “King” Richard Williams, also known as the father and coach of two of tennis’ biggest stars.

The Los Angeles house in Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street is officially on sale for $3.25 million USD. According to reports, the home was used as the façade for the film’s protagonist and was fictionally known to be located on 1428 Elm Street, but is actually found in Spaulding Square, Los Angeles. Hustlers director Lorene Scafaria purchased the Dutch Colonial-style home, which was built in 1919, for $2.1 million USD in 2013 and kept most of the green and white façade, except for the red front door that is now black. “The whole neighborhood gets the tour bus treatment. People always get tickled when they see it,” Heather T. Roy of Douglas Elliman, who is listing the home with Learka Bosnak, said. The L.A. Times note that the absence of palm trees in Spaulding Square makes it a f...

Although nothing is set in stone, Quentin Tarantino is open to the possibility of Kill Bill 3 as his next film. According to reports, the director responded “Why not?” when asked if the third installment in the Uma Thurman-led saga could be up next.
