Venom: The Last Dance brings the Marvel Comics villain Knull to the big screen, but don’t expect him to be the main antagonist of this trilogy-capper. “One movie could never do justice to Knull,” director and co-writer Kelly Marcel told IGN via email. While Venom: The Last Dance may be the final installment of Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock franchise (more on that in a bit), fans should expect the sequel to also serve as a springboard for future appearances by Knull. “We were always aware of Knull, but knew that we needed to lay the foundation of the Venom character, and his relationship with Eddie, before introducing him. This is just the beginning for Knull,” Marcel revealed.“We're in spoiler territory now and we hope some of the fun of watching this movie is not knowing what will happen, but trust me, we know full well how important Knull is to the fans, so just as we laid a foundation for Venom, we hope we are doing the same for Knull,” she said. “The King in Black is way too powerful for ‘one and done.’” “This film introduces Knull, but it just touches the beginnings of his story,” Marcel added. “Marvel's greatest film villains are developed over time. Here, Knull is the threat lurking behind the danger that tests the absolute limits of Eddie and Venom's partnership — but it’s their relationship that remains the heart of this story.”In addition to our one-on-one interview with Marcel, IGN can also exclusively reveal these two new photos from Venom: The Last Dance featuring the Lethal Protector.

The co-founder of Riot Games has responded to a report that claimed League of Legends animated series Arcane was a “financial miss.”Bloomberg reported that Arcane's two seasons cost an eye-watering $250 million to produce and market, and ultimately failed to generate enough gaming revenue for Riot despite winning a big audience on Netflix. The publication said Netflix paid $3 million per episode, with Riot owner Tencent handing over an additional $3 million per episode to show Arcane in China. All told, that’s less than half the $250 million it cost Riot to bring Arcane to market. And, according to Bloomberg, Tencent started asking Riot difficult questions between the release of Season 1 and 2.The hope, Bloomberg reported, was that Arcane would fuel an increase in players of Lea…
The Suicide Squad star Idris Elba has teased that he’ll be playing a familiar face, kind of, in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 2 film. A post on Twitter heavily implied he’ll be playing the part of Knuckles, the Sonic antagonist-turned-ally. It was followed up by confirmation from official movie accounts and actor Ben Schwartz.
It’s hard to interpret the tweet any other way considering he hashtags both the Sonic sequel and the name of the character. Knuckles has generally been a bit gruffer and grouchier than Sonic, though not traditionally British. We’ll have to see if he puts on an American accent for the role, as he has extensively in other past roles.
After Elba’s tweet, it was answered by Schwartz, who plays Sonic, with a “Who’s there?” The official Sonic Twit…
According to a new report, we should get ready to see Westeros on the big screen.That comes via a new The Hollywood Reporter article today, which says Warner Bros. has been "quietly" developing a feature film based on George R.R. Martin's fantasy universe, originally adapted in HBO's megahit Game of Thrones. The report notes that "at least one" film is in the works, hinting that WB could have even more cinematic plans for the franchise.Still, it should be pointed out that the project is apparently in very early development, with no creatives or cast attached yet. And forget The Winds of Winter — the winds of Hollywood are fickle, and film development can take a very long time. Still, it's big news that WB is considering capitalizing on one of its bigges…
Joker: Folie à Deux has been a major bomb at the box office, earning scathing reviews from fans and critics alike. But it has at least one big fan in director Quentin Tarantino, who praised the unfortunate sequel at length on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, calling it the "Natural Born Killers I would have dreamed of seeing."“I really, really liked it, really. A lot. Like, tremendously, and I went to see it expecting to be impressed by the filmmaking,” Tarantino said. “But I thought it was going to be an arms-length, intellectual exercise that ultimately I wouldn’t think worked like a movie, but that I would appreciate it for what it is. And I’m just nihilistic enough to kind of enjoy a movie that doesn’t quite work as a movie or that’s like a big, giant mess to som…
