Darth Maul is back in Star Wars in a big way, but his shock appearance in Solo: A Star Wars Story shouldn’t be setting up a big showdown in the Obi-Wan Kenobi movie. Maul in Solo was a surprising twist, given moviegoers last saw the Sith Apprentice when he was sliced in half by Obi-Wan in The Phantom Menace. More general Star Wars fans would be aware that George Lucas himself had Maul resurrected in The Clone Wars animated series, and that he became a dangerous foe for the heroes of Star Wars Rebels....

When Larry David worked on Seinfeld with Jerry Seinfeld, he revolutionized the sitcom by making the first and last episodes of the seasons worthwhile.

The same goes for the season finale episode, which is the last the audience will see of those characters before another year-long hiatus....

With the premiere of Luke Cage just weeks away, the anticipation for the next chapter in Netflix and Marvel’s The Defenders saga is growing almost by the hour. The excitement for the new series is an indication of a job well done by Marvel TV as it peeks into to corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe left unexamined by the glossy, family-friendly air of their cinematic counterparts. From our vantage point today, it’s almost difficult to remember how eyebrow raising it was when the gritty direction was first announced in 2014....

Dark Phoenix will not only be the final X-Men movie from Fox but it will also be the first without an appearance by Wolverine. Written and directed by Simon Kinberg, the second attempt to cinematically adapt The Dark Phoenix Saga comics story stars Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, James McAvoy as Professor X, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique but (barring a surprise) Hugh Jackman’s Logan will be nowhere to be found....

Dark Phoenix may end up scoring the all-time worst box office opening weekend for Fox’s X-Men film franchise. To say this property has had its fair share of ups and downs during its nearly two-decade existence would be an understatement. In stark contrast from Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe (which has posted a string of consecutive Certified Fresh hits), the X-Men movies tend to be all over the place in terms of quality....

Michael B. Jordan reveals how his favorite anime inspired a key moment in Creed 2. Sylvester Stallone closed the door on the Rocky franchise pretty definitively with the ending of Rocky Balboa, where the retired boxer proved his worth in the ring one last time. The notion of a spinoff where the character trains the son of late friend Apollo Creed to become a boxer didn’t initially sound appealing to fans....

When CyanogenMod was first getting started, the development team was in need of a domain. One of the team members, who is named Ahmet, volunteered to buy the cyanogenmod.com domain to serve as the rom’s development headquarters. This arrangement continued on for several years, with Ahmet maintaining ownership of the domain while it was in use by the rest of the CyanogenMod developer team. However at some point in recent months Steve Kondik, lead developer at CyanogenMod, discovered that Ahmet was secretly using the website for his own personal profit via referral deals....

Research published recently by ESG showed that 62% of surveyed organizations said they would increase their spending, and only 36% said they would keep budgets flat.

Warning: SPOILERS for Darth Vader Annual #2 Darth Vader might have been responsible for the destruction of the Death Star - and the rebellion of Jyn Erso’s father, Galen. At the very least, that’s what the last scene of Marvel’s Darth Vader Annual #2 seems to suggest. The issue implies that reason the Erso family fled the Death Star project is all down to the Emperor’s right-hand man. And while the Annual #2 has the Dark Lord of the Sith hunting down a group of saboteurs targeting Death Star production, the biggest saboteur might be Vader himself....
