The filming for Marvel’s upcoming Black Widow has reportedly been delayed until June. Scarlett Johansson first appeared as Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, in Iron Man 2 in 2010, but has since appeared in several entries of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Black Widow last appeared (and survived) in Avengers: Infinity War and her first solo movie is seemingly moving forward. Fans have been asking for a solo Black Widow movie for years now, but things really started to move forward for the film last year....

Despite mixed reviews, director Bryan Singer’s Queen/Freddie Mercury movie Bohemian Rhapsody now stands as the highest-grossing music biopic ever. It’s not really surprising that a movie about Queen would be a hit, as there are few musical artists that boast a back catalog full of so many enduring songs. Whether it be the titular track, “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Somebody to Love,” their “Under Pressure” duet with fellow iconic performer David Bowie, or one of many other hits, Queen’s music still lives on today, decades after the early death of Mercury....

Update Nov. 20: Borderlands 2 is now available on Mac for $45. Aspyr Media and 2k Games announced this afternoon that Borderlands 2 would launch on Mac Nov. 20. Borderlands 2, a Gearbox Software-made sequel to the original Borderlands, is being delivered to Mac gamers by publisher Aspyr later this month. The game was originally released to much fanfare Sept. 18 on Steam for Windows and for Xbox 360, and it has been called “a winner” by reviewers....

The Wyld Stallyns are officially back, and Alex Winter is marking the start of filming on Bill & Ted Face The Music with a new T-shirt. One of Keanu Reeves’ earliest roles, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure combined time-traveling shenanigans with the teenage culture of the day to great effect, as the tale of of two far-out high school dudes whose rock band would lead the world to salvation became an instant adventure comedy classic....

After making her series debut during last year’s American Horror Story: Cult, Billie Lourd is returning for season 8 of the FX horror anthology. Debuting in 2011, FX’s American Horror Story was in many ways the catalyst for the current explosion of the “different story and characters every season” type of anthology program that can now be found all over TV, in shows such as Fargo, True Detective, Law & Order: True Crime, and fellow Ryan Murphy production American Crime Story....

Birds of Prey is one of the most fun movies that DC has ever released. While it might not be perfect, it was overall a funny, over-the-top romp that was enjoyable to experience. Seeing Harley Quinn team up with a bunch of other hardcore women made for a lot of badass feminist moments and scenes. The film contains a host of inspiring, hilarious, and iconic quotes that anyone can relate to but that especially inspire women....

Earlier this year, BitTorrent announced a new BitTorrent Now app that allows users to stream a variety of content including videos and music. At the time, the app was Android-only, but now the app has officially come to iOS and Apple TV. BitTorrent says that a variety of publishers have signed on to share content on the BitTorrent Now platform, including The Onion, Super Deluxe, and IHeartComix. Right after opening the BitTorrent Now app, users will be able to choose from all kinds of content from those publishers and more....

Newly released portraits of the cast of Black Panther in full costume give us detailed looks at how many of the characters will appear on screen. Taken by photographer Kwaku Alston, the portraits showcase T’Challa aka Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Lupita Nyong’o (Nakia), Shuri (Letitia Wright), W’Kabi (Daniel Kaluuya), Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Eric Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), Zuri (Forest Whitaker), and M’Baku (Winston Duke). Two notable characters absent from the portraits are Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis), the latter of which was described by Boseman as the film’s “real villain....

Marvel Comics has proven it beyond any doubt: it’s time for Black Panther to become the new Nick Fury of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe… as head of the global superhero intelligence network protecting Earth from every threat. The MCU is about to enter a time of major transition and change. The stars of Phases 1-3 are expected to bow out in Avengers: Endgame, with both Robert Downey, Jr. and Chris Evans seemingly at the end of their tenure....

Bloomberg reports that Samsung has signed on to provide A9 chips to Apple for the next-generation iPhone. Apple moved to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in 2013 for its processors, looking to reduce its reliance on Samsung, who is a major competitor in the smartphone space and a legal foe. With that said, it was reported last September that Samsung was still supplying 40 percent of the A8 chips found in the iPhone 6 despite Apple’s attempt to part ways....

The cast of the upcoming season of Big Brother includes an ex-girlfriend to a The Bachelorette contestant, among other surprising houseguests. There will be 16 new houseguests from all over the country who will live (and compete) in the Big Brother house for its 21st season. Big Brother has been bringing 16 strangers together as housemates for 19 years, where the show records their every move through constant surveillance. The Big Brother house is outfitted with microphones and HD cameras monitoring them 24 hours a day, and this tried and true format for reality TV was introduced in season 1 of Big Brother, which aired in 2000....

Last January, Showtime launched the new series Billions, transforming Homeland star Damian Lewis into Bobby “Axe” Axelrod, a brilliant and ruthlessly ambitious hedge fund manager with a morally questionable financial origin story. He was squared off against Paul Giamatti’s U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades, an equally ambitious prosecutor willing to bend the rules to the point of breaking in order to get his man. Their battle, guaranteed to lead to mutual destruction, ended in something of a stalemate after their see-sawing victories and devastations in season 1....

A deleted scene from Black Panther confirms Okoye and W’Kabi were married. Fans may have fell in love with T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) in Captain America: Civil War, but that movie only scratched the surface of his world. Director Ryan Coogler fully fleshed out his kingdom in Black Panther. The focus of the film still catered to the titular hero, but a great deal of it also opened up Wakanda and introduced audiences to a bunch of new characters....

The theatrical release of Black Panther gets off to a strong start, with the Marvel movie setting the opening day box office record in the UK for 2018 so far. A Black Panther film has been a long time coming, with a cinematic feature on the titular character being held back and delayed for a multitude of reasons over the years. However, the hero of Wakanda has finally made it to the big screen....

In 2018, Bodyguard premiered on the BBC Network in the United Kingdom. Starring Richard Madden of Game of Thrones fame, Keeley Hawes, Sophie Rundle, and more, the series captivated audiences en route to being one of the most-watched shows in that channel’s history. But then Bodyguard found even more popularity on Netflix. Netflix reached a deal with BBC to broadcast the show on their streaming service everywhere outside of the United Kingdom The intense series, focusing on an Army veteran with PTSD working to protect the Home Secretary, ended up being viewed more than ever and went on to win a handful of awards....

Each year, the American Institute of Architects highlights just a few carefully considered spaces to win its Interior Architecture Awards. Each project selected is deemed an innovative and spectacular interior space that makes a mark on the places we live and work. For 2019, New York City’s Apple Upper East Side has been awarded, adding to store’s impressive list of design accolades. Apple Upper East Side first opened in June 2015 and continues a long legacy of Apple’s historic preservation work in New York City....

Update: New Xbox screenshots and pricing info on launch bundles added. Black Desert is the latest high profile MMORPG to make its way to consoles, but it might be the first released (on Xbox One at least) that feels like a natural fit for a controller. Whereas a lot of ported MMO titles feel stilted and awkward, especially in later stage combat hotkey requirements, Black Desert has simplified its game mechanics when compared to its PC counterpart....

Writer/director Rick Famuyiwa is boarding the long developing movie adaptation of Charles Burns’ cult comic book series Black Hole, with New Regency and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment producing. Famuyiwa was once attached to oversee Warner Bros. and DC’s upcoming Flash solo movie Flashpoint starring Ezra Miller, before he stepped down back in October of 2016. The filmmaker’s would-be DC superhero project is well in his rearview mirror by now, as he’s moved onto different ventures that include the pilot episode for Showtime’s TV drama The Chi (though that didn’t stop him from throwing some shade at Justice League on social media recently)....

As surprising as the announcements for The Eternals’ stellar cast and The Mighty Thor arriving in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) through Thor: Love and Thunder were, the one headline that stole the entire Marvel panel in this year’s San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) was the reveal of Blade’s cinematic return. Starring Mahershala Ali as the titular vampire hunter, Blade is expected to join the MCU in Phase 5. But as is expected, not everyone from the original cast will return....

Given the popularity of the PBS show The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross, you might not be surprised that someone has turned it into an app. What is surprising, however, is that the latest version of the app is audio only … A painting tutorial app called Happy Trees has been available for many years, but the New York Times reports that the latest app is designed to put you to sleep....
