Wonder Woman 1984 Producer Describes Movie as a Standalone Film
Sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots. There are a lot of ways to continue a franchise, but Wonder Woman 1984 is none of these. Sure, it is a follow up to the hugely popular introduction of Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) and will feature the same stars, but the studio is apparently treating it as a standalone film.
The next film starring the Amazonian superhero will pick up 66 years after the first, but 35 years before present day.

How good was George Miller‘s Mad Max: Fury Road? So good that his fellow directors often gush over his achievement (more on this below).

As kids, we all dreamed of growing up and being big enough to take down all of our problems and conquer all of our fears.

How Godzilla: King of the Monsters Pays Homage to the Original
Krampus has become one of my favorite films and one of the highlights was absolutely the creature building. The attic toy attack was a gruesome burst of creativity and the Christmas demon himself was fearsome and mesmerizing.

The franchise is picking directors on the rise and giving a few different creators a shot at the atomic lizard.

The Justice League Comes to the Rescue in The LEGO Movie 2 Trailer
The first trailer for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part was kind of bleak and despairing. Bricksburg was destroyed and there were super cheery alien invaders wreaking havoc. Fear not, though. All hope is not yet lost. There are still superheroes in Bricksburg, even if they don’t seem particularly super.
Our LEGO pals are not going to just stand by and let their friends be kidnapped by shapeshifting extraterrestrials. When Lucy (Elizabeth Banks) and others go missing,

Jude Law Learned Everything There is to Know About Dumbledore for Fantastic Beasts
Fantastic Beasts is a fun and fresh take on the Wizarding World. The creatures are spectacular and Newt Scamander is a special kind of adorable awkward. Those period costumes are stunning and J.K. Rowling has promised the series will take us around the globe. However, nostalgia is powerful and it’s hard to let go of the characters we first fell in love with.
