Why Rian Johnson Is Thankful For Negative Star Wars: The Last Jedi Comments

Image
8 hours ago Star Wars is one of the most beloved movie franchises of all time, and is showing no real signs of slowing down anytime soon. George Lucas' colorful galaxy has entertained moviegoers for decades, with generations of fans brought up on the space opera. But Star Wars fans are also fiercely protective of the property, resulting in backlash that usually lives online. The Last Jedi 's Rian Johnson knows this all too well, as his divisive sequel caught some flack for his bold narrative choices. And it turns out that he's happy about the push back he got online. Rian Johnson purposefully subverted fan expectations in The Last Jedi , especially when it came to things like Leia's force abilities and Rey's parentage. While Lucasfilm was thrilled with his efforts enough that he'll be developing another movie for the franchise, the filmmaker did get some hate on social media-- particularly Twitter. Rian Johnson recently appeared on CinemaBlend's

The comments are swarmed with fans freaking about her new hairdo! “Meow,” “Catwoman” and “Ms. Kyle” are among words in reaction to the photo.

It’s a good look for the Big Little Lies star, and while she doesn’t say a thing about it being connected to her Catwoman look, it has to be... right? Selina Kyle has had tons of different looks and hairstyles over the years, both in the comics and on the big screen. But, her most recent famous look includes the same pixie cut Zoë Kravitz has right now! It’s helpful for the character’s cat ears and goggles to not be bothered by long hair. She can hide h

1 hour ago Having already left his mark on the Jurassic Park franchise with 2015’s Jurassic World , Colin Trevorrow was supposed to jump to a galaxy far, far away and direct Star Wars: Episode IX , which we now know as The Rise of Skywalker . Due to creative differences, Trevorrow ended up departing Episode IX , but he’ll get residuals from this Star Wars movie, and he plans on giving that money to a great cause rather than keep it for himself.

The actor has recently teased an upcoming meeting with Marvel Chief Kevin Feige. Here’s what he said: How exciting!

When Aquaman 2 Should Finally Start Filming

2 hours ago After the success of James Wan’s Aquaman , which is still DC’s most successful film to date (for now), a sequel was all but inevitable. And as expected, Warner Bros. officially announced back in February that Aquaman 2 is on the way. However, in a surprising move, Aquaman 2 won’t be hitting theaters until 2022. Nevertheless, we are inching closer to booking a return trip to Atlantis, and we now have an idea when Aquaman 2 should finally start filming. According to Variety, Warner Bros. is looking to start filming Aquaman 2 in early 2021 in advance of the film’s December 2022 release date. So if all goes according to plan, the sequel film starring Jason Momoa will go before cameras in a little over a year or so. That’s still a long ways off, but with a rough shooting timeline in mind, it seems things are moving forward and that Warner Bros. has a plan for Aquaman 2 . The Variety article also notes that DC has tapped James Wan to return to direct the highl
