Sean Connery's clashes with director Stephen Norrington during the making of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" led to his decision to quit Hollywood.

The Flash's Box Office Failure Could Cost WB Millions.

Box office analysis suggests that The Flash could cost Warner Bros. Discovery over $200 million by the end of its theatrical run, which could be a financial catastrophe for the studio. Despite being met with stellar early reviews, the long-gestating DC film stumbled out of the gate at the box office, making only $55 million domestically during its opening weekend. The film's hefty production budget and marketing campaign costs raise its total price tag to $340 million, making it difficult for the studio to recoup its losses.

Kraven the Hunter: Marvel's Underrated Superhero Movie Villain

The red band trailer for Kraven the Hunter suggests that Sony is taking a back-to-basics approach to the superhero genre, harkening back to pre-2000s movies. The film, which follows the eponymous villain's R-rated origin story and complicated relationship with his father, played by Russell Crowe, looks stylized, well-lit, and occasionally corny in a fun way. Unlike recent comic book movies, Kraven the Hunter isn't trying to be a MCU knockoff, and its embrace of the goofiness inherent in a lion-based villain is a refreshing take. The movie premieres in theaters in October.

Zachary Levi Talks Shazam 2 Credits Scene, Feud with Dwayne Johnson, and the Future of Comic Book Movies

Zachary Levi confirms that plans for the “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” post-credits scene were “thwarted,” although he did not say by who. A report from The Wrap claimed that Dwayne Johnson sabotaged the “Shazam” post-credits scene by blocking “Black Adam” characters Cyclone and Hawkman from appearing in it. “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” opened to $30 million domestically, well below the $53 million the original “Shazam!” opened with in 2019. Levi wrote in a Tweet that the film’s marketing was a big issue as it was not promoted as a family movie. Levi also defended the fun and silliness of comic book movies, saying it's a shame if they have to be nothing but serious and dark.
