Spider-Man: No Way Home hasn’t been very good at keeping the exciting secrets of the webslinging sequel. Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are rumored to be returning as their respective versions of Spider-Man alongside the Marvel Cinematic Universe webhead Tom Holland. But along with the multiple Spider-Men, there have been reports of Jamie Foxx and Alfred Molina are reprising their villainous roles as Electro and Doc Ock, and one of them has finally confirmed their return.
Alfred Molina confirmed, probably much to the chagrin of Kevin Feige, that he will indeed be back as Dr. Otto Octavius in Spider-Man: Far From Home. The actor said, “When we were shooting it, we were all under orders not to talk about it, because it was supposed to be some great big secret. But, you know, it’s all over the internet. I actually described myself as the worst kept secret in Hollywood!” Butterfingers! Read More »

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?
This week, we try to solve a mystery, talk with some aging Nazi accomplices, discuss what it means to be a man, and get literary.

When it comes to Pete Davidson, audiences seem to either love or hate him with little room in between. As a longtime fan of Saturday Night Live, it’s been fascinating to watch him grow comedically. As a stand-up act, he has undeniable chops, but as a performer, Davidson still has some work to do outside of playing anyone other than a slightly different version of himself. Now Netflix will give him a chance to do just that by having him play The Ramones frontman Joey Ramone in a new movie. Read More »
