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.

The comedian has directed three hugely successful movies since the beginning of his filmmaking career, with his famous debut Get Out winning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. His other projects were Us and Nope, two other thrilling horrors that layer their stories with social criticism and deeper themes of race, identity, and family.

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.

Cooper Hood — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 23:00:19 GMT

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. He has led new franchises like The Hitman's Bodyguard, launched potential new ones with Free Guy, and made cameo appearances in other existing series like Fast & Furious. One of his most notable franchise plays came through Pokémon: Detective Pikachu.

Amanda Mullen — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 22:35:17 GMT

Sylvester Stallone appears to be having franchise problems as of late, and while his departures from certain projects will come as a disappointment to fans, they make two sequels far more likely. Stallone's best movies include a number of iconic action flicks, many of which are part of larger franchises. Stallone has built a career on such projects, but recently, he seems to be stepping back from all that. Given Stallone's current approach to franchises, viewers are left to wonder what's next for the 77-year-old actor.

Snow White Wasn't The First Disney Princess: Here's The Animated Heroine Who Debuted 3 Years Earlier

Amanda Mullen — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 22:20:16 GMT

1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is often credited with introducing the first Disney princess, but this technically isn't the case; another animated heroine debuted three years earlier. Disney's princesses have become a staple of pop culture, evolving from more classic depictions like Cinderella and Snow White to modernized heroines like Frozen's Elsa and Wish's Asha. Disney princesses have changed a lot over the past 86 years, with Snow White's debut informing and revolutionizing the concept.

Jake Gyllenhaal's Upcoming Comic Book Movie Role Is More Exciting Than Mysterio Returning

Cooper Hood — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 22:00:19 GMT

Jake Gyllenhaal has a new comic book movie role thanks to Prophet, and it is a more exciting project for him than returning as Mysterio. Gyllenhaal finally made the jump to superhero movies in 2019 by playing Quentin Beck a.k.a. Mysterio in Spider-Man: Far From Home. He turned in an excellent performance as the villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, leaving audiences hopeful that Mysterio is not dead and will return. There has been no movement in terms of Gyllenhaal reprising his role as Mysterio even as the MCU and Sony's Spider-Verse further explore the multiverse. This has left the actor to find a new comic book character to play.
