A Harry Potter and the Cursed Child movie doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon, but it seems inevitable that it will hit theaters someday — probably in about 20 years. The Harry Potter movies were huge successes in the 2000s and 2010s, and they're still revisited frequently by diehard fans. The franchise's continued popularity has even spawned a Harry Potter TV remake at Max. And Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is among the top 10 best-selling Broadway shows (via Broadway.com), with the production seeing similar success in London's West End.

Dietz Woehle — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 00:05:16 GMT

For 34 years, John C. Reilly has been a warm presence in some of the best films ever made. Despite the actor's distinct voice, Reilly has never been typecast or pigeonholed into a genre, instead having a healthy mix of serious dramas and some of the goofiest comedies ever put on film. Reilly feels just as at home in the nonsensical world of Tim and Eric, as he does in the dark grounded one of Lynne Ramsay's We Need To Talk About Kevin.

Thanks To A New Titan Reveal, Godzilla & Kong's GxK Team-Up Finally Makes Sense

Bill Dubiel — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 23:30:17 GMT

There needs to be a massive Titan threat in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire in order to justify Godzilla and Kong teaming up, and the latest Titan reveal for the Monsterverse does just that. The first teaser for Godzilla x Kong revealed the existence of the new ape foe now known as Skar King, and since then, many have theorized what could make him such a colossal threat to bring Godzilla and Kong together. The question seems to have been answered by a recent toy leak, which revealed a brand-new Titan that could be an even greater threat than Skar King himself.

Jurassic World: These 8 Minutes Are The Blueprint For Fixing The Franchise In Jurassic World 4

Amanda Mullen — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 23:15:17 GMT

The Jurassic World series has returned viewers to the world of Jurassic Park, but it's been pretty inconsistent in terms of quality — though eight minutes of the franchise provide a blueprint for how to fix things in Jurassic World 4. Jurassic World Dominion is probably the weakest Jurassic Park movie despite a premise that promises great things. The movie opens with dinosaurs and humans inhabiting the same space, a recipe for disaster, as the film soon proves. Unfortunately, this isn't executed as well as most hoped, leaving the Jurassic World movies on a negative note.

Ryan Reynolds is the face of a few different Hollywood franchises, but he's forgotten about his most promising sequel, Pokémon: Detective Pikachu 2. The popular actor has always had a knack for being involved in franchises to some degree. This has only become an increased focus for Reynolds over the last decade or so of his career, thanks to the incredible success of the Deadpool movies.

10 Great Characters That Were Never Given Names In Their Movies

Ben Protheroe — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 22:45:15 GMT

Some great characters are never named, even though they can be iconic figures in film history. There are many different reasons why a character might not have a name. Most often, it makes them immediately seem more mysterious. If a character's past is so uncertain that even their name is unknown, it means they are probably carrying some dark secrets. Writers might leave villains unnamed, or known only by a nickname, for this exact reason. It helps to dehumanize them slightly, and it can make them seem even more threatening, as if they are immune to human weaknesses.
