Do you remember the 2004 TV film “Sucker Free City?” Probably not. Despite being directed by Spike Lee, the film debuted with very little fanfare. But it did have a hell of a cast, including now-Captain America Anthony Mackie. And according to the actor, the project was set to be Showtime’s attempt to mirror one of HBO’s best series.

Speaking on Variety’s Actors on Actors, Anthony Mackie talked about how his career was supposed to take off 20 years ago when “Sucker Free City” was released.

Marvel’s upcoming blockbuster “Captain America: Brave New World” isn’t due in theaters until February 2024, but as you may have noticed by now, companies like McDonald’s are already advertising the film, and various pieces of marketing have revealed some early spoilers (beware, spoilers discussed below in this article).

After last year, Marvel Studios finds themselves sitting where they’ve never sat before: the hot seat. “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania” kicked off the MCU‘s Phase 5 with a thud, “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3” was an effective wave goodbye to DCU co-head James Gunn, and “The Marvels” was, commercially speaking, the worst Marvel movie ever.

Anthony Mackie makes his official film debut as Captain America in next February’s “Captain America: Brave New World.” But if the actor could have things his way, he’d instead do another season of “The Falcon And The Winter Soldier” to hang out with Sebastian Stan and Daniel Brühl.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire? Are the rumors of “Captain America: Brave New World” true? What rumors? Well, “‘Captain America: Brave New World” was once a summer 2024 movie set right in the heart of July. However, after the strikes, Marvel Studios revamped their entire schedule, moving “Deadpool 3” into that July position even though its production shoot—which is still going on now as we speak—wasn’t complete and ‘Brave New World’ had finished its principal photography.

Is it a sign of the changing, dwindling (?) times, or is it just akin to a VOD release? Either way, the well-regarded SXSW genre film, “If You Were the Last,” starring Anthony Mackie and Zoë Chao as astronauts in a sci‑fi rom‑com, just had its trailer released, and the film comes out… today. How’s that for heads-up marketing?

As the title suggests, the film is about…not the last two people on Earth, but certainly, the last two people at the end of a long space expedition.

The massive success of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” in theaters and “The Last of Us” on HBO means one thing is certain: every studio on Earth wants a few more video game adaptations on their schedule. While awful versions of hit games are certainly going to be fast-tracked in the coming months (pending the end of the strike, of course), the truth is that Sony already had a number of productions waiting in the wings after Joel & Ellie exited stage left, including the upcoming “Gran Turismo” in theaters and “Twisted Metal” on Peacock.

For years, the idea of films and TV shows based on video game franchises was ridiculous, as almost every single one of them was terrible. However, in the 2020s, that has changed. Films like “Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Uncharted” have been massive hits. And recently, on TV, we’ve seen “The Last of Us” become one of the most acclaimed series of 2023. Will Peacock’s “Twisted Metal” follow suit this month?

Marvel Studios typically hates when set photos get leaked and fans around the world get a sneak peek at one of the upcoming films or TV shows.

Forget the “Ghostbusters.” It’s the doctors you’ll want to call after watching “We Have a Ghost.” A film about a dead father, this picture will give you more headaches than nightmares, more sulks than shivers. The film takes the premise of haunted house movies–the ones where a monster lives upstairs–and tries to update it for a younger crowd. It’s “Paranormal Activity” on YouTube, and it’s one of the more frustrating things we’ve seen all year.
