The Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot cast just got even bigger!

Since news first broke of the initial castings, several more stars have been confirmed for the highly anticipated Hulu revival series, bringing the total number of cast members to 12, including one beloved returning face and a brand new Slayer.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer originated as a 1992 film written by Joss Whedon, before launching as a TV series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar in 1997. Now, the story continues with a new chapter in the Buffyverse, written by Nora and Lila Zuckerman and directed by Oscar winner Chloé Zhao.

Almost seven years ago, it was announced that a reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was in development with Monica Owusu-Breen, co-creator of the TV show Midnight, Texas, writing, executive producing, and serving as showrunner. It was said that the new show would be “contemporary, building on the mythology of the original.” That project never made it into production – and earlier this year, it was revealed that we’re going to be getting a Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival instead, with Sarah Michelle Gellar returning to the role of Buffy Summers and Chloé Zhao directing the first episode. Since then, teenage actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Firestarter) has been cast as a new slayer (an introverted high school student named Nova)… and now, filming is underway! Gellar has been spotted on the set of the pilot episode, and those images can be seen at the bottom of this article.

Chase Sui Wonders has joined the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer project at Hulu, taking a guest role in the pilot as a character identified as Shirley, according to an individual with knowledge of the production. The casting arrives as cameras roll in Los Angeles and Sarah Michelle Gellar returns to the franchise that made her a household name, with on-set images surfacing over the weekend.

Wonders, who recently appeared opposite Gellar on the big-screen revival of I Know What You Did Last Summer, said working alongside the original Buffy again was a thrill and praised Gellar’s leadership on the new series. The pilot is directed and executive produced by Oscar winner Chloé Zhao. The series is housed at 20th Television and Searchlight TV, with executive producers including Gellar, Gail Berman, Fran and Kaz Kuzui, and Dolly Parton; writing and day-to-day showrunning are led by Nora and Lila Zuckerman.

What Do We Know About the upcoming reboot of the classic horror series Buffy the Vampire Slayer? More than you may think. The new take on Joss Whedon’s classic vampire series has been gaining momentum with many announcements related to casting, plot, and more. With news dropping regularly, let’s dive in and look at what is coming up in the Buffy reboot.

Sarah Michelle Gellar will reprise her role as Buffy Summers.

The actress permanently associated with the title role from the long-running WB/CW series that bore her character’s name is a prominent member of the reboot’s cast. In addition to serving as executive producer, Gellar will ensure the legacy of the original series is respected in the new iteration. Gellar took to Instagram and shared a post from the table read for the series, saying, “I have always listened to the fans and heard...

James Gunn‘s Superman brought in the big bucks at the domestic box office this weekend as it officially surpassed Zack Snyder‘s highest-grossing Dceu film, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. With $331.2 million in the bag (Box Office Mojo), Superman leaves BvS behind to bite the dust with the latter’s $330.36 million (Box Office Mojo).

Moreover, Superman‘s theatrical run is far from being over at this point. The movie has not only buried Snyder’s crown but also fended off all three MCU giants of 2025, i.e., Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and Fantastic Four, to stand alone at the top – and all before hitting digital release, too.

This also marks the first time in 17 years that DC has beaten Marvel at the box office since Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight overshadowed Iron Man in 2008.

James Gunn’s Superman Fixes Zack Snyder’s Worst Dceu Flaw Superman (2025) feat.

The first already-canceled show I fell for, even before "Firefly," was the CW's comedy "Reaper." While "Firefly" received a belated movie wrap-up in 2005 with "Serenity," the story of "Reaper" has remained open since its 2009 cancellation. Perhaps the show invited its own grim fate with a name that suggested death.

What is "Reaper," anyway, though? Well, I don't bring up "Firefly" out of nowhere; if you're a fan of Joss Whedon's writing, then "Reaper" might be up your alley too. The show is best described as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" crossed with Kevin Smith, from "Clerks" to "Dogma." (Smith even directed the "Reaper" pilot.) 

Created by Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters, "Reaper" follows 21-year-old slacker Sam Oliver (Bret Harrison). On his birthday, he gets a very unpleasant gift. Before Sam was born, his father John (Andrew Airlie) was "very sick," so Sam's parents made a deal with the Devil (Ray Wise) for a cure.

New images from the set of the Buffy the Vampire Slayerreboot reveal Sarah Michelle Gellar's return to her most iconic role. It was announced earlier this year that Hulu was moving forward with a pilot for a Buffy reboot, with Oscar-winning Nomadland director Chloé Zhao directing the pilot. Nora and Lilla Zuckerman are attached as writers.

Even though Gellar is set to reprise her seminal performance as Buffy Summers in a recurring capacity, the focus will turn to a new slayer. Ryan Kiera Armstrong, a young performer who broke out with Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, will play the lead character.

Set images from the New York Posthave revealed the first look at Gellar's return as Buffy Summers. The star of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Cruel Intentions is dressed in a red mini dress with long sleeves, pink stilettos, with a deep V-neckline, and a large,...

Following our first look at new Buffy the Vampire Slayer lead Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Star Wars: Skeleton Crew) on the set of the New Sunnydale reboot/sequel series, Sarah Michelle Gellar has now been spotted on the Los Angeles set.

As we first reported on FearHQ.com, Buffy Summers has traded in her vampire hunting gear for a red power suit, with many fans wondering if she's gone "corporate" since we last saw her in action. If the vampire threat went away for a while, she's likely gotten on with her life before something happens to pull her back in.

The prevailing theory among fans is that Armstrong's character is Buffy's daughter, with the "Vampire Slayer" mantle passed down to the teenager.

Gellar is unlikely to be the only familiar face we see as the actress, who also serves as executive producer, recently said, "We will try to find...

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, which reportedly has "New Sunnydale" as its working title, has started shooting in Los Angeles. With that comes what appears to be a first look at Star Wars: Skeleton Crew star Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the show's new lead slayer.

There have been some grumblings about the 15-year-old Armstrong being a little too young for this role, and she definitely looks like a high schooler here. However, it's worth noting that in the original series, Buffy Summers was also only meant to be 16, though Gellar was 20 at the time.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is reprising her role as Buffy in the series, which added Rakotohavana (Secret Society of Second Born Royals) as Hugo, Ava Jean (Law & Order: Svu) as Larkin, Sarah Bock (Severance) as Gracie, Daniel di Tomasso (Witches of East End) as Abe, and Jack Cutmore-Scott (Oppenheimer) as Mr. Burke earlier this week.

Fans would be surprised to learn that Josh Brolin‘s role was supposed to be a cameo before it was extended into a full-blown villain. During his recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Brolin told Josh Horowitz that he was approached for a 10-minute role in the MCU when he was doing Everest.

He shared that Marvel later changed the role to become a major character in its Infinity Saga finale. He shared:

That was supposed to be a cameo when it was first brought to me. I was doing the Everest movie in London, and [Marvel] brought me this huge [character] bible. They were like, ‘It’s this little thing and [Thanos] is going to be in it for 10 minutes.’ And then they changed it, and it turned into this whole thing.

After Brolin’s revelation that his cameo was extended to a major role, we definitely feel that Marvel...

The anticipation around the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot continues to grow, with Sarah Michelle Gellar, the woman behind Buffy, teasing the actor she’ll be passing the torch to. On Instagram, the actress revealed that Ryan Kiera Armstrong will be the leading lady for the series reboot, which is set to release on Hulu.

Ryan Kiera Armstrong has been a rising name in Hollywood circles thanks to her roles in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Firestarter, and American Horror Story: Red Tide. The Buffy reboot will not involve original series creator Joss Whedon due to the many controversies that have dogged the director since the release of 2017’s Justice League.

Despite high ratings, James Gunn‘s Superman failed to reach great numbers both domestically and internationally. With MCU being in a not-so-great shape, Gunn’s Dcu is still unable to battle it out with the mighty MCU when it comes to earning at the box office.

With The Fantastic Four: First Steps releasing on July 25 and Superman releasing on July 11, I thought that the Dcu might be able to beat the MCU this time, considering the consistently bad projects that Marvel had been making and how terrible the Og The Fantastic Four movies were.

Well, turns out that even after being at a disadvantage of a later release date and a legacy that they shouldn’t be proud of, The Fantastic Four: First Steps managed to almost catch up to the Dcu movie. The constant winning doesn’t just stop with Superman; the MCU has been dominating box office collections for a long time.

Almost seven years ago, it was announced that a reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was in development with Monica Owusu-Breen, co-creator of the TV show Midnight, Texas, writing, executive producing, and serving as showrunner.

We recently learned that the Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival's new Slayer will be played by 15-year-old Star Wars: Skeleton Crew breakout Ryan Kiera Armstrong, and thanks to a leaked logline, we know what kind of evil forces she'll be facing off against - initially, at least.

Armstrong's character had not been officially named, and was simply described as "an introverted high-school student" in Deadline's report. Now, we have confirmation that the new Slayer will go by Nova, and the first blood-sucking bad guys she will square off against will be... Jack and Shirley.

"Nova, a 16-year-old bookworm, discovers she’s a vampire Slayer in a rebuilt Sunnydale, split between gritty Old Sunnydale and upscale New Sunnydale. During Vampire Weekend, a festival celebrating the town’s dark past, vampires Jack and Shirley emerge from a construction site, killing a teen and planning a ritual to raise a vampire army at the Cursed Circle.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is back in action, getting ready alongside the new star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the new series moves forward. The upcoming show isn’t really a reboot but more like a sequel, following a fresh group of vampire slayers led by Ryan Kiera Armstrong, who recently starred in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.

The new Buffy series isn’t officially approved yet, but Hulu has ordered a pilot episode. Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao is set to lead the project. The story picks up after the events of the original show’s seventh season, where many new slayers gained their powers. Ryan Kiera Armstrong’s character, named Nova for now, will be the main focus, with Buffy Summers, Sarah Michelle Gellar’s iconic role, likely appearing as a mentor.

This mentor-student relationship is important both on screen and off. Gellar recently shared a training video on Instagram...

Sarah Michelle Gellar is already jumping into action with the new generation of vampire slayers as the upcoming Buffy series moves forward. Instead of a full reboot, this new show acts more like a sequel, following a fresh group of demon fighters led by Ryan Kiera Armstrong, known for her role in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.

The new Buffy series hasn’t officially been picked up yet but has received a pilot order from Hulu. It’s set to be directed by Oscar winner Chloé Zhao. The story will focus on Armstrong’s character, tentatively named Nova, while Buffy Summers, Gellar’s iconic role, will serve as a mentor. This makes sense since at the end of the original Buffy series, season 7, many new slayers got their powers, opening the door for this new chapter.

Gellar shared a video on Instagram recently showing her training with Armstrong, preparing for their...

The behind-the-scenes video is accompanied by the simple caption, "We don't sweat... we sparkle," as well as the song "Scandal" by The Warrior (featuring Patty Smyth).

Gellar portrayed Buffy Summers, aka the Slayer or the Chosen One, throughout the entirety of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's seven-season, 144-episode run. The series, created by Joss Whedon as a reimagining of his 1992 film of the same name, quickly found its footing with audiences upon its release in 1997. Alongside Gellar, Buffy the Vampire Slayer featured an ensemble cast including Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenberg,...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was released on March 10, 1997, on the WB channel, bringing about a new wave of content and a new kind of heroine. Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy was tough, smart, funny, and flawed. Her portrayal of the teenage vampire slayer instantly became iconic.

The show was created by Joss Whedon and spanned seven seasons, bringing together rich character development, teen angst, and supernatural action. Over two decades after the show aired its finale in 2003, Buffy is still a cultural reference point. Now there’s soon going to be a Buffy spinoff, but what is the original Buffy cast up to now? Let’s cast a glance at some of the main cast members of the show and see what they are up to now.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is getting ready to slay, and so is the new slayer — Ryan Kiera Armstrong.

The “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” actress, who is set to star in the series reboot, posted a video to her social media of the two training at a gym in preparation to take on the vampire-slaying roles. Gellar wrote, “Warrior 1 and 2 We don’t sweat … we sparkle.”

In the video, Gellar can be seen doing squats on a half exercise ball, doing Trx pulls and much more. And Armstrong is right by her side.

As previously announced, Armstrong was cast in a lead role in the pilot opposite returning star Gellar.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds showrunners and cast tease the upcoming puppet episode. Set before James Kirk takes command, the series follows Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and the crew of the USS Enterprise. While Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is currently airing, season 4 has already been confirmed, and will feature an episode where the cast is turned into puppets.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers tease the upcoming episode and how much work went into it. Due to the unique episode having a different filming process and an additional full crew of puppeteers, the episode took over six months of work. The cast also reacts to the episode, with Christina Chong, Jess Bush, and Rebecca Romijn calling it "Insane," "Pure joy," and "An excellent script."

Myers: I wanna say there was easily more than six months of work on it.

Into every generation a Slayer is born, and now the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot has given her a name.

Per Deadline, Ryan Kiera Armstrong's new Slayer will be called Nova, describing her as "an introverted high-school student" who becomes the latest Chosen One to battle supernatural forces of evil. Additionally, the article confirmed actor Kingston Vernes will join the show as Nova's potential love interest Carson, a fellow student at New Sunnydale Academy who "starts noticing her after a life-changing event."

Prior to Buffy, Armstrong made appearances in shows like Anne with an E and American Horror Story: Red Tide, most recently playing At Atin resident Fern in the Star Wars pirate adventure Skeleton Crew. The actress' involvement was confirmed in May, with Sarah Michelle Gellar -- who'll reprise her role as fellow Slayer Buffy Summers -- revealing Armstrong got the part via an Instagram recording of their conversation.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the iconic '90s-'00s supernatural show beloved of many millennials, is getting a reboot. The show has started casting already, and recently it added a new member to the lineup.

Deadline reports that Kingston Vernes will play a character named Carson in the show. He will serve as a love interest for the new Slayer, Ryan Kiera Armstrong's Nova. The outlet says that Carson is "a Junior Olympian and popular student at New Sunnydale Academy who is the object of Nova’s (Armstrong) crush and starts noticing her after a life-changing event."

Sarah Michelle Gellar will reprise her role as Buffy and executive produce the show. Starring alongside her, Armstrong and Vernes will be a variety of actors, both established and up-and-coming, and small snippets have been released about some of their characters as well.

As Marvel finds box office success with The Fantastic Four: First Steps, we take a look back at the 2015 film’s difficult production.

On the 6th August 2015, director Josh Trank dropped a bombshell. It was the day before the release of his comic book movie, Fantastic Four, but the filmmaker wasn’t in a celebratory mood.

“A year ago,” Trank wrote on Twitter, “I had a fantastic version of this. And it would have received great reviews. You’ll probably never see it. That’s reality though.”

It was the moment when the darkening mood behind the scenes burst into public view. Although anonymous stories about Fantastic Four’s troubled production had emerged in Hollywood outlets months earlier, Trank’s tweet was unprecedented – it was swiftly deleted, probably following irate calls from 20th Century Fox, but the damage was done. One analyst told TheWrap at the time that Trank’s...

Coyote vs. Acme is finally getting a release under Ketchup Entertainment after Warner Bros. earlier scrapped it. The film’s footage was featured at the San Diego Comic-Con, where actor Will Forte and director Dave Green appeared on a panel discussion. Forte shared that he was “pretty speechless” after Ketchup took over the movie (via THR).

Forte shared at the Sdcc, “It blows my mind. You think back to the journey this movie has taken. I had kind of given up hope at a certain point, so this is amazing.” The audience was also shown the first footage of the movie, where Wile E. Coyote first meets attorney Kevin Avery, played by Forte, after seeing him on a TV commercial.

Coyote and Kevin’s interaction scenes got quite the laughter from the audience, indicating that the film can thrive with a supportive crowd. The team announced that the film was...

The Alan Tudyk-starrer Resident Alien has been canceled after four seasons. While the show had good ratings and received good responses from critics and audience alike, the makers announced that the fourth season would be its last. Showrunner Chris Sheridan mentioned that he was glad that they were able to wrap storylines, but still left things open for a potential future (via TV Line).

Resident Alien joins a list of incredible shows that have faced the axe prematurely in recent times. While the sci-fi premise begins off in a typical alien invasion fashion, it becomes a heartwarming take on what it means to be human and shows the growth of Alan Tudyk’s Dr. Harry. The actor has also been praised for his phenomenal performance.

Thankfully, this is not the only good role from Tudyk, nor is it his only endeavor in the sci-fi realm. He has been in several shows,...

There are several big stars joining the cast of the Hulu revival TV series.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer originated as a film that Joss Whedon wrote, released in 1992. Five years later, the series version starring Sarah Michelle Gellar debuted on The WB, where it ran for its first five seasons before airing its final two seasons on Upn.

Nora Zuckerman and Lila Zuckerman are attached to write, showrun, and executive produce the pilot. The pilot was first reported back in February. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps, but it will allegedly focus on a new slayer.

The new additions are: Faly Rakotohavana as Hugo, Ava Jean as Larkin, Sarah Bock (“Severance”) as Gracie, Daniel di Tomasso as Abe, and Jack Cutmore-Scott as Mr. Burke.

The pilot was first reported to be in the works back in February. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps, but sources previously said the pilot will focus on a new slayer (Armstrong) with Gellar returning as Buffy.

Rakotohavana is repped by Media Artists Group, The Esi Network, and Katz Public Relations. Jean is repped by Thruline Entertainment, Evolve Artists Agency, and Yorn Levine Barnes.

Pedro Pascal’s big breakthrough came when he starred as the goatee-having Dornish prince Oberyn Martell. He later portrayed the role of a mustache-carrying DEA agent Javier Peña in the Netflix show, Narcos.

Why are we talking about Pedro Pascal‘s facial hair, though? Because the actor decided to go completely clean-shaven for his role as Maxwell Lord in Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot‘s 2020 film, Wonder Woman 1984. The actor revealed (via Variety) he looks very awful when completely clean-shaven.

I grow such shit facial hair, but if I were to shave it all off… I really look very [awful].

Well, Pedro Pascal was saying it from experience as the actor starred as a completely-shaven Maxwell Lord, and he was “Appalled“ by the way that he looked (strongly agree).

Sarah Michelle Gellar is the gift that keeps on giving. 22 years after putting down her wooden stake at the end of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 7's finale, which aired on May 20, 2003, she is almost back to Sunnydale.

Earlier this year, Gellar revealed she is making her return to Buffy, despite years of refusing to do so. She found the best way to bring the story back with her new partners — Nora and Lilla Zuckerman as the writers and showrunners, and Chloé Zhao as director. In a new photo on Instagram, Sarah Michelle Gellar confirmed the Buffy the Vampire Slayer sequel series is in pre-production.

Hulu has announced a spin-off for the cult classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and fans can’t keep calm. It’s a show I could rewatch over and over without getting bored. Over 2 decades later, the show is set to return with a spinoff, this time with a fresh take, while keeping the original world of Buffy alive.

One burning question has been gripping the fans since the announcement of the return. Which of the Og cast members will return to this spinoff? Behind-the-scenes developments, dream casting theories, and hints of familiar faces being cast have only added fuel to the fire. The revival comes with high expectations, and we know you can’t wait to find out who will be seen in this spinoff, so let’s get right into what we know so far!

Freddie Prinze Jr. has a favorite piece of lore from his childhood.

In the late ’70s, only a few years after the untimely death of his famous father, Prinze went with his mother to Universal Studios. The back-lot tour was delightfully chock-a-block with actors playing the company’s iconic monsters.

“Wolf Man, Dracula, the Creature from the Black Lagoon,” Prinze remembers. While other kids hid behind their parents, screaming, Prinze was starstruck. “I would ask for hugs,” he says. “I hugged Frankenstein.”

In time, Prinze would spin his boyhood love of monsters into a Hollywood career as a ’90s heartthrob. His Noxzema smile and chiseled jawline made him the object of desire for millions of rising millennials in the Ugly Duckling rom-com “She’s All That.” He’s also synonymous with beloved horror franchise “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” a movie that cemented him — and co-stars Jennifer Love Hewitt,...

There are many TV shows that are canceled way too early, but one that still stings after almost 25 years is the sci-fi classic, Firefly. One of the greatest TV shows of all-time, the series took just 14 episodes to bypass many other shows with multiple seasons. Of course, star Nathan Fillion is currently appearing as Guy Gardner in James Gunn’s Superman, but a reunion with his former castmates to announce the first ever range of Firefly Funko Pops has made everyone a little nostalgic for the series.

Firefly was the creation of Joss Whedon, and aired on Fox in 2002. Despite its incredible popularity among fans, the series did not make it to a second series, although it was given the consolation of a feature film continuation in Serenity in 2005, which became a fan-pleasing coda to the series, but a long way short of what many had hoped for. The synopsis...

Superman‘s critical success and promising box-office returns have reportedly prompted a new Wonder Woman feature in motion, which won’t see the return of Dceu’s Gal Gadot. Although a WW feature wasn’t part of Dcu’s initial slate, with the lone Amazon-centric project being Paradise Lost, it seems DC Studios is ready to hit the gas on their plans for Diana.

While nothing concrete about this movie has been unveiled, going by Variety‘s reports, it might not be too long before something major comes our way regarding Diana’s introduction in the Dcu.

A Wonder Woman Movie Is Reportedly Getting Fast-Tracked at DC

James Gunn has already touched on the prospect of a Wonder Woman movie in the past, clarifying that a WW project was already being written. David Zaslav, in his interview with The New York Times, echoed Gunn’s comments, adding, “They’re working on Wonder Woman.

Firefly fans will have some new Funko Pop! figures to add to their collections. New figures have been unveiled for the beloved TV show, and better yet, the stars of the show have reunited in a new video to promote the release.

The video was posted on Instagram by Funko. Cast members present in the video include Nathan Fillion (Malcolm Reynolds), Alan Tudyk (Hoban Washburne), Summer Glau (River Tam), Seam Mahr (Simon Tam), and Gina Torres (Zoe Washburne). They announce that the Funko Pop! figures are including the entire crew, as each of them expresses how it's about time. The video can be watched below.

When it comes to sci-fi, the genre has a ton of great television to choose from. Whether it's Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica, there's something for every type of fan. However, when it comes to shows that have been released in the 21st century, there's no program as beloved as Firefly. It's been over 20 years since the series was abruptly canceled after one season, but more people are discovering it every year thanks to streaming. Now the Joss Whedon-created sci-fi western is getting a massive new Funko Pop collection as the legend of Firefly glows brighter.

Funko's latest Pop collection features nine figures from Firefly. This includes Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion), Zoë Washburne (Gina Torres), Hoban Washburne (Alan Tudyk) and Inara Serra (Morena Baccarin). The other normal figures in the set are Kaylee Frye (Jewel State), River Tam (Summer Glau) and Shepherd Book (Ron Glass). The exclusives for this...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been going strong for close to two decades now. It all dates back to 2008's "Iron Man." Directed by Jon Favreau, nobody could have expected Robert Downey Jr.'s turn as Tony Stark to build an empire that has led to well over $30 billion at the global box office, with Marvel Studios rapidly approaching its 40th feature film.

Though it may not get much credit, there was a moment in the summer of 2015 when it was clear that the MCU had hit a certain fever pitch with general moviegoers. That moment came when director Peyton Reed's "Ant-Man" hit theaters. By far one of the biggest swings Marvel took in terms of giving a character the spotlight who didn't have a guaranteed audience by any means, it became a sizable hit, taking in $519 million worldwide against a reasonable $130 million budget.

It helped catapult the already...

As James Gunn’s Superman movie soars into theaters, I wanted to touch on a subject. Specifically, discourse around “muscle suits”. Because that’s what a grown man should be doing ahead of something cool—focusing on what another man I don’t even know (and isn’t even real) wears or not. It is totally not at all ridiculous and weird.

I’m genuinely stoked for David Corenswet stepping into the blue, red, and yellow of DC Comics’s cash cow. From the recent trailers, his Clark Kent and Superman feel authentic. This iteration of the Man of Steel harkens back to the days when he felt like a hero who would inspire hope.

Corenswet’s got a lot to live up to, though, in terms of the live-action greats on film, such as George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh, and Henry Cavill. Yet, they each did things that set them apart.

Is there any current director who is more controversial than Zack Snyder? It’s wild how divisive a figure he is, with his fans nearly cult-like in their devotion, while his detractors are just as fervent. Here at JoBlo, we’ve always been ardent supporters, even if we haven’t unquestioningly praised all of his films. Thus, we thought it would be interesting to do an all-around ranking of his films (although we’ve left the animated Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole off the list). So, without further ado, here’s our ranking from worst to best.

Sucker Punch (2011)

I’ll admit to not knowing precisely what Snyder was trying to pull off when I saw this movie in 2011. It remains the most obscure of his live-action films. It is a tough nut to crack, being that it’s a fantastical, hyper-surrealistic fantasy centred around a woman...

Twenty-five years ago, the evolution of comic book movies leaped forward. On July 14, 2000, Marvel Comics' not-so-merry band of mutants, the X-Men, made their way from the comic pages to the big screen, changing the company's cinematic fortunes and making the box office safe for the team-based superhero movies that would follow years later.

It should be noted off the top that Blade ice-skated uphill so that X-Men could run downhill to franchise-launching success. Wesley Snipes' 1998 vampire movie brought the comic-book movie genre back from the brink of extinction courtesy of the mega-bomb that was 1997's Batman & Robin. Blade was also the first Marvel Comics-derived film that didn't fall into direct-to-video hell like failed versions of Captain America and The Punisher, and Roger Corman's never-released take on the Fantastic Four.

Still, X-Men's existence was far from guaranteed even after Blade pointed a way forward for Marvel.

It’s been over a decade since ThE Cabin In The Woods flipped horror on its blood-soaked head, and yet the film feels more relevant than ever. Part satire, part homage, part full-blown creature feature, Drew Goddard’s genre-bending debut still holds up as one of the smartest horror films of the 21st century. With Joss Whedon co-writing the script and a pre-Thor Chris Hemsworth leading the charge, The Cabin In The Woods managed to both love and eviscerate the genre it belonged to.

James Gunn’s Superman not only ushers in a new cinematic universe but also lands a fresh take on the timeless Man of Steel, portrayed this time by David Corenswet. But we shouldn’t forget the past heroes who donned the cape and turned the character into the icon he is today.

Over the years, Superman has been a symbol of truth and justice, and the honor of playing him on screen has been passed from one star to another. So, let’s rewind and rank all the movies that featured the last son of Krypton in the lead, based on Rotten Tomatoes’ critic score, starting with the lowest and moving upward.

The fourth installment in Christopher Reeve’s saga was the lowest point in Superman’s cinematic journey.

Before James Gunn took over DC Studios with Peter Safran, he was offered the chance to direct a Superman movie for the Dceu. He said no.

“When I was originally offered to direct Superman back in 2018, I said no,” Gunn explained at a recent Q&a. “I was daunted by the task. I wasn’t sure how I was going to do it. Also, if you remember, there was other stuff happening with Superman at the time.“

In 2018, Warner Bros. was fresh off the box office disappointment of Joss Whedon’s Justice League. It was also the last Dceu film in which Henry Cavill played Superman until his brief cameo in Black Adam. There was obviously interest in another Superman movie at the time, but it was clear that the studio wasn’t sure whether Cavill would stay on as the character.

Director Sam Raimi may be known for movies like Army of Darkness and the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies, andDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but in 1995, he directed a revenge western that, while it was a box office flop, is now making its way up the global streaming charts. The Quick and the Dead is the No. 7 most-streamed movie on Netflix, as of July 9, per FlixPatrol.

The film, which starred Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Roberts Blossom (Home Alone), and Gary Sinise, is ahead of About My Father, Thug Life, and The Royal Hotel on the global Top 10 Netflix chart. The Quick and the Dead was written by Simon Moore (Traffic) and included contributions from Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), although he was not credited.

Battlestar Galacticaactress Katee Sackhoff recently shared her candid thoughts about the problematic way she was treated during a photoshoot. A main member of the Battlestar Galactica cast, Sackhoff played Viper pilot Kara "Starbuck" Thrace throughout all four seasons of the show.

Yesterday, Sackhoff took to Instagram to share images from a photoshoot she posed in with Battlestar Galactica co-stars Tricia Helfer and Grace Park. In the post, Sackhoff described the hurt she felt after a costumer referred to her as "the big girl", saying, "I felt humiliated. Exposed. Disgusting."

The Starbuck actress continued to say that though this was the most confrontational comment on her body, it was not an isolated incident, and that this behavior speaks to the darker side of the Hollywood industry as a whole. Sackhoff concluded her post by saying that she is committed to raising her daughter to feel "powerful" — "Because I deserved better. And so does she.
