Film Twitter™ loves to work itself into a frenzy over Hollywood’s aversion to making movies featuring characters who enjoy having sex, which makes it seem like Neon’s upcoming thriller Sanctuary is going to make quite a splash when its first trailer arrives tomorrow.
With The Marvels’ new trailer comes a reminder that Ms. Marvel’s family heirloom — the mysterious bangle that unlocked her energy-manipulation powers — might just be the snazziest piece of wearable comics-inspired tech the MCU’s seen yet.
Director Ari Aster’s Beau Is Afraid amps up the comedic absurdity to tell a haunting story about coping with anxiety.
None of the must-see TV we all obsess over would be possible without the members of the Writers Guild of America who, after years of fighting for fairer wages reflective of the profits they help generate, will vote tomorrow to decide whether or not to authorize a strike.
It’s understandable if you haven’t kept up with why Hollywood might be on the verge of another big walkout, but The Daily Beast has an excellent piece spelling out why this is something you should be paying attention to.

Ticket sales should never be looked at as the sole indicator of whether a movie’s “good” or not. But The Super Mario Bros. Movie having the year’s biggest box office opening at $204.6 million, and dethroning Frozen 2 for having the largest debut for an animated film, suggests that people are enjoying it quite a bit.
The third episode of the show’s final season feels like the true beginning of the end — and exactly the sort of jumpstart the series needed.
We already knew The Daniels were set to direct an episode of Disney Plus’ Star Wars: Skeleton Crew series, but at this year’s Star Wars: Celebration (Europe) event, the rest of the directing lineup was revealed to include Jon Watts, David Lowery, Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Lee Isaac Chung.
