If you were hoping to go see the new live-action Disney adaptation of the popular film, “Aladdin”, chances are you are going to want to see it all the more now! Naomi Scott, who portrays Jasmine in the film, shared in a blog post recently that her Christian faith is a huge part of all that she does in the entertainment industry.

“My husband and I were actually talking about this yesterday. Sometimes we get asked the question, ‘How do you juggle your faith and what you do?’ But for me, I don’t

Avengers: Endgame, the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise and the finale of a 22-movie sequence, demolished the box office on its opening weekend—bringing in $1.2 billion in worldwide ticket sales and smashing more than a dozen box office records. The film had the largest-ever opening weekend of any film, bringing in nearly two times as much as the previous record holder, Avengers: Infinity War.

The wait is over, and the biggest film of 2019 has finally arrived. Marvel Studios' 12 year 22 film journey achieves its remarkable zenith this weekend with Avengers: Endgame, putting the capstone on the MCU's status as the biggest, most successful, and unquestionably most epic franchise in cinema history. Last year, Avengers: Infinity War left many people wondering, "How will Marvel top this? Can Marvel top this?" Let there be no doubt Marvel has answered those questions loud and clear.

This post contains spoilers regarding the plot of Captain Marvel.

When Carol Danvers, a.k.a. Captain Marvel, returns to Earth in next month’s Avengers: Endgame, she’ll be coming back to a different world, in part because it’ll be 23 years older than when she left it in 1995.

The pager she amps up in the movie Captain Marvel will look clunkily out of place. The internet will (thankfully) be much faster. She’ll no longer have to rely

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air aired its last episode in 1996, but nearly 23 years later, the show is still making a lasting impact on its viewers. Case in point, writer and director Morgan Cooper.

Cooper took to Twitter sharing a trailer for a film he titled Bel-Air. “Like most 90’s kids, I grew up watching Fresh Prince. Even as a kid, I always thought there was more to the story… so I decided to make this. S/O to incredible team who worked on this,” he wrote.

It has been said many times that the Marvel movie “Black Panther” is an important landmark.

The 91st Academy Awards ceremony is just a few days away, and in advance of the annual bestowing of golden statuettes in honor of Hollywood’s best and most memorable big screen performances over the past year, ticketing service Fandango conducted an experiment.

In the opening of Avengers: Infinity War, Hulk takes on Thanos and it does not go well for Hulk. He’s beaten handily by the Mad Titan, and it’s a bit of a surprise since Hulk is kind of undefeated everywhere he goes. Furthermore, in the comics, he’s arguably one of the most powerful superheroes because hurting him only makes him angrier, which in turn makes him stronger. If you try to defeat Hulk through brute force, you’ll lose because he just gets bigger and more powerful.

But if Hulk had be
