But Mar-Vell wasnt originally written as a woman. ©Marvel Studios 2019 That was one of the epiphanies in the writing that came fairly late in the process, Boden explains. Fleck says with a laugh. Too late in the process for comfort, to be perfectly honest! No one specific, but wed started looking at lists. And we were struggling with it, frankly....

The result is the exquisitely elegiac closing-credits song “Requiem for a Private War.” Lennox, who only saw the film after she wrote the song, was struck by an eerie coincidence. “One of the last things that Marie Colvin is saying [in the film] is Why? Credit: Robert Sebree That’s actually the first word in the beginning of the song. It’s uncanny,” she says. “Normally I’m really, really critical of my performances or my recordings,” adds Lennox....

In EWs column Act With Me, stars share their personal stories about giving back. That all changed with a 2003 trip to South Africa where she heard Nelson Mandela speak about the issue. So if she has other children she can be alive to bring her children up. Credit: Courtesy Annie Lennox I would think that is a sort of fundamental human right. Its actually easier to campaign when the crisis has come to a terrible boiling point....

Along with Portman and Isaac, the cast includes Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Garland says that he only read the first book, which gives no names or ethnicities to the characters. But the characters in the novel I read and adapted were not given names or ethnicities.

But there was nothing cynical or conspiratorial about the way I cast this movie....

The original 1979Alienhad its immortal tagline, In space, no one can hear you scream. InAnnihilation, its the Shimmer. (Though someone will definitely hear you if you scream in a crowded theater, it turns out.)

The circumference is spreading fast, and no one whos entered has ever come out again, excluding Kane. But every step inland brings something exponentially darker and stranger and more unnerving....

Credit: Jack Rowand/ABC EW turned to Parrilla to get the scoop. Shes taking it all in, but its quite jarring to her. She doesnt quite understand how to process everything just yet. Drizella wakes her and its a progression. The consequences of breaking the curse terrify Regina more than anything....

Are you more ‘Easter bunny cooking eggs on a balcony’ or ‘concerned lifeguard’? Were guessing the leprechaun one with a pointed toe that would make Elgorts ballerina girlfriend Violetta Komyshan proud. Who do we talk to about getting this reprinted, because were pretty sure these would sell out immediately.

After I sawAnt-Man and the Wasp, I tried to remember if I sawAnt-Man and the Wasp. This is one of those Marvel products peddling self-aware detachment as a defining narrative strategy. It feels less like a feature film than a meme somebody made about anAnt-Mantrailer. Credit: Ben Rothstein/©Marvel Studios 2018 Its forgettable, but some things are better forgotten. But what if Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer were totally boring in the 1980s?...

Evangeline Lillys Hope van Dyne (a.k.a. the Wasp) may share the power of miniaturization with Paul Rudds Scott Lang (a.k.a. Ant-Man) inAnt-Man and the Wasp(out July 6), but the film is abigdeal for theLostactress. ©Marvel Studios 2018 It means a lot to me, says Lilly. The question has arisen, Can Janet come back? Janet is played by none other thanBatman Returnsactress Michelle Pfeiffer. Ben Rothstein/© Marvel Studios She hasnt done one of these films since she played Catwoman with Tim Burton, says director Peyton Reed....

Read on at your own risk. Ant-Man and the Waspis the third Marvel Cinematic Universe film to be released in 2018. Until the post-credits scene, that is. At first, the movie seems to wrap up nicely for everyone. Janet has been saved, and uses her knowledge of the quantum realm to help Ghost. So, down goes Scott. He tells his friends to pull him out…but this time, theres only static....

IsAnt-Man and the Waspa forgettable installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe or a bright, cheery tonic? Most critics seem to agree on the latter. ForEWs Darren Franich, however, Ant-Man and the Waspstumbles by trying to take itself even half-seriously. Credit: Ben Rothstein/© Marvel Studios Poor Hannah-John Kamen looks stranded as the notional super-baddie, the space-phasing Ghost. Read more reviews below.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How do you feel about comparisons toDestiny? Are they upsetting or flattering? Where do they start to fall apart for you? JONATHAN WARNER:It doesn’t upset me. For me, the comparison starts to fall apart really rapidly. Then beyond that, bringing our storytelling. I think that’s where really the sharp differentiators lie. How customizable will the single-player story space, Fort Tarsis, be? Will my Fort Tarsis look much different from anyone else’s?...
