$274.7 million dollars. That appears to be the magic number to get a sequel made. At least where Tomb Raider is concerned. The original 2001 Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie made $274.7 million dollars in box office receipts. That inspired a 2003 sequel that did much worse, taking in only $156.5 million. With the drop in sales, the Tomb Raider franchise swung and jumped off the cliff…at least until 2018. That’s when Warner Bros. released a reboot for the franchise with Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft. This film didn’t do terribly but it didn’t do awesome business either. In fact, it…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”19620″ img_size=”646×431″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When you’re the GameMaster and you’ve suddenly got a bit of time on your hands (seeing how your world has taken quite a beating since your last gig), you can take some time to explore new things. At least, that’s what Jeff Goldblum will be doing for Disney+. In a new series, to be called The World According to Jeff Goldblum, Goldblum will be introducing audiences to different items and in new and exciting ways. As set in the show’s description: Jeff pulls back the curtain on a seemingly familiar object to reveal a world of astonishing…

I’m not sure how many more exciting premiers can be crammed into a couple of months but between Game of Thrones, Avengers: End Game, and Marvel’s Agents of Shield, the folks at HBO, Marvel Studios, and ABC/Marvel Television are certainly trying. With that in mind, ABC/Marvel Television has released a series of posters ahead of its Season 6 Premier in May. So we now know that Clark Gregg is now called Sarge and he has no compunction against shooting Shield Agents. Where that ends up we don’t know, at least until Marvel’s Agents of Shield premiers next month. Are you…

It happened not soon after Thanos had Completed his SNAP! heard around the Universe at the end of Infinity War. After the initial shock went away, fans started to theorize how this could be resolved. It had to be resolved, didn’t it? Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr. Strange, the Wasp, Wanda, Bucky…all super hero dust. That couldn’t be how it ended, especially for those who had sequels to film. There has to be a solution. So fans came up with them. In all manners, and all combinations. Some involved time travel, some involved the Quantum Realm,…

With the final season of Game of Thrones starting this Sunday, you might forget that this whole thing started with the series of Fire and Ice books written by George R.R. Martin. Starting with A Game of Thrones, which was followed by A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons. However, there was supposed to be a sixth book. The ever-elusive, seemingly never coming, The Winds of Winter. Recently, in conjunction with the upcoming climatic Season premier for HBO’s celebrated series, Martin was asked if he had an update on when “Winter…

It has been said many times that the cast and crew of Game of Thrones were like a family. As such, the opinions of how the cast felt about how their characters were being written was important to the show’s Creators, D.B. Weiss and David Benioff. So when it came time for the final season’s scripts to be read by the cast, Weiss and Benioff waited to hear from each of the cast to hear how they felt about their conclusion to the series. One by one, they eventually heard from every cast member except one: Kit Harrington. His silence…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”19452″ img_size=”800×449″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]We are less than a week away from one of the most anticipated and for some, dreaded moment that has been over a year in the making. The premier of the final season of Game of Thrones. As we settle in for the final six episodes, it has been a time for retrospect of the previous Seven Seasons and what fans might not have known during its record setting run. For example, did you know that the character of Lyanna Mormont was only supposed to appear in one scene? You remember Lyanna? The Lady of House Mormont…

During our search through the GVN files, we have talked about characters that have either been rumored or placed on a wish list by fans who hope to see these characters in either the DCEU or the MCU. But let’s talk about a group that is pretty much set to join the MCU as part of its next phase of Marvel’s Master plan. Let’s discuss a bit of history with the Eternals. The Eternals were created by Jack Kirby and they first appeared in Eternals Issue#1 which was released in July of 1976. The origins of the Eternals starts with…

With the impending Avengers: End Game, this will mark the fourth film that the Brothers Russo have directed for Marvel Studios. Each one more successful than the last. With the insane amount of work that has been involved in this climax of the Infinity Saga, you could forgive the Russo’s for not thinking too much about their future endeavors. Although, if Avengers: End Game turns the kind of business expected, they can pretty much write their own ticket to whatever job they could want. Recently, MTV News interviewed the Russos at this past week’s CinemaCon and asked them if they would…

With Warner Brothers/ DC films Shazam! off to a “super” start on its opening weekend, talk of a sequel has already been discussed by the studio and fans alike. In a recent discussion with Collider, Shazam! Producer Peter Safran explained why it might be necessary to start production on a sequel sooner rather than later. The reason stems with the young cast that portray Billy Batson’s Foster family. They’re going to look like Zach does today. So we’ve got to move quickly with the sequel, for sure. The actors who play Billy and his foster brothers and sisters — Asher…
