Amazon’s Fallout TV series is arguably one of the best video game adaptations we’ve ever seen. Due to show’s incredible success, many have been wondering if any other Bethesda games will make a similar leap into the world of streaming.
Of course, the top contender on everyone’s tongues is The Elder Scrolls franchise. Although Bethesda’s creative director, Todd Howard, has already shot down multiple pitches for its adaptation, there’s only one actor who can make it a reality, and that’s Henry Cavill.

IGN decided to stop Howard on the red carpet of Fallout’s LA premiere, and ask him a few interesting questions. Although the main topic of the interview was the post-apocalytpic show, the interview also asked whether Bethesda is considering adapting The Elder Scrolls series to small screens.

Many actors have come close to playing Superman over the years, but we admittedly forgot that British actor Jude Law was once among them.
For those who may not know, Superman: Flyby was written by J.J. Abrams and set out to deliver a fresh take on the Man of Steel's origin story. Krypton was going to factor heavily into proceedings, with Lex Luthor now a government agent obsessed with UFOs and Lois Lane intent on exposing him to the public.
According to various leaks, Superman was set to square off with a group of villainous Kryptonians, ultimately dying and being sent to Kryptonian heaven to meet his father, Jor-El, before being resurrected. As you'd expect, Kal-El would return to save the day, only for a cliffhanger ending to feature him returning to his home planet.

When it comes to DC’s Animated Universe, there are barely any shows and movies that don’t receive praise with My Adventures with Superman being no exception to this either. Every iteration of the scarlet caped hero has been driven by some criticism alongside acknowledgement. Whether it is with Henry Cavill, Tyler Hoechlin, or Tom Welling; each and every one of them have their fair share of pros and cons.

With the second season also in swing, there are many ways in which the show excels in representing the story of not just Superman and Lois but also Clark Kent and Lois. As of late, another character has joined the party and she holds an uncanny resemblance to a Dragon Ball character one cannot turn a blind eye to.

10. Sherlock Holmes (1967–1968)
Don’t get us wrong, there were many Sherlock Holmes adaptations even before this short series, but we spared the most sensitive of you the need to watch in less than 360p. Starring Erich Schellow and Paul Edwin Roth, the 1960s’ Sherlock Holmes is as classic as they come, with just six episodes — each following a different case. Watch Sherlock Holmes on Plex.
9. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (1980)
Also known as “the Soviet Sherlock Holmes,” this mini-series consists of five two-part movies following different cases. While half-a-century old, this adaptation lures you in with its unwavering faithfulness to the source material and doesn’t let go: the subtle interactions between Vasiliy Livanov and Vitali Solomin are just that good.

Henry Cavill’s passion for gaming is well-documented, and his favorite Blizzard game, World of Warcraft, almost cost him the Superman role. Cavill famously recounted how he missed Zack Snyder’s call offering him the part because he was engrossed in a WoW dungeon.
This makes him an ideal candidate for any future WoW adaptations, especially considering Blizzard’s openness to exploring new media formats if the right people are involved.

After working as an actor on shows like Sons of Anarchy and Veronica Mars, Taylor Sheridan bravely took a path toward realizing his creative potential and ended up in the writer’s chair. And what a transition it has been! His remarkable evolution blossomed with Sicario’s gripping screenplay, a brilliant example of his storytelling prowess.
The 2015 action-thriller, helmed by the visionary Denis Villeneuve, not only set a milestone for 21st-century cinema but also served as a vehicle for Emily Blunt’s powerful portrayal of Kate Mercer, an FBI agent waging a relentless battle against the drug cartels.

When Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon hit theaters on December 15th 2023 for a limited screening, it did not receive a lot of positive responses from critics and audiences. Subsequently, its premier on Netflix changed its fortunes tremendously, with fans lapping it up and praising Snyder’s unique directorial touches. Now, the Man Of Steel filmmaker is set to release an extended cut of the movie on Netflix in August.

Despite big stars such as Henry Cavill and Ryan Gosling having blockbuster releases this year, the first half of 2024 seems to be a lackluster year for Hollywood. The industry has seen many sure-shot films bomb at the box office this year. While Dune: Part Two remains the highest-grossing film of the year, it was released in March.
Films such as The Fall Guy and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which were touted to be huge hits have all taken a huge loss at the box office, making studios reconsider their strategies. Making it worse is the success of small-budget films such as Tarot, which has become the year’s most profitable film with a $45 million box office against an $8 million budget.

At a time when the Marvel Cinematic Universe had just aired The Avengers on the big screen and laid claim as the best interconnected comic universe to date, DC Studios came up with its own iteration just a year later. In 2013, Zack Snyder kick-started the DC Extended Universe with his Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as the titular lead. However, instead of competing head-to-head with the Iron Man producing studio, it went down with sweeping division.

There's less than a month to go until Despicable Me 4 arrives in theaters, and Illumination has released a new promo which takes a shot of Black Adam star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Warner Bros.' tax write-offs, and the MCU.
The pro wrestler and actor vowed to change the "hierarchy of power" in the DC Extended Universe with the 2022 movie, only for it to flop at the box office and bomb with critics and fans alike. From there, Johnson's plans to take over the franchise failed and he was promptly ousted when James Gunn and Peter Safran took charge of DC Studios.
As for the 100-year slate of "Mega Minions" movies, it's a tongue-in-cheek dig at Marvel Studios and its habit of revealing slates of movies and TV shows years before they're released.
It's all meant in good fun, though we're sure Johnson doesn't appreciate being made fun of in this way.

The history of film is teeming with alternate endings that never saw the light of day, whether it's because of production troubles, executive meddling, or writers and directors simply changing their minds. In franchise-oriented blockbuster cinema, the practice of studying, testing, and even shooting different endings is especially prevalent, as those movies have to weather a host of artistic and commercial ambitions that the ending must facilitate simultaneously.
Superhero movies, with their precise storytelling geometry and enormous cultural presence, are particularly susceptible to having their endings reconsidered or reshot. There is an enormous pressure for superhero movie endings to work, to resolve the plot efficiently, to send viewers home buzzing for the right reasons. While that sometimes leads to great, refreshingly thoughtful storytelling decisions, it can also lead to conformity, blandness, and incongruence just as often -- especially when the ending has been changed out of sheer executive pressure.

The film starring Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard was not well-received by film critics and the box office, and the director is weighing in on what happened.
“My guard came down on Argylle. We had done test screenings that had gone fantastically well. The premiere was a really fun night, and it was like going back to the Snatch days where there was such excitement. And I started drinking the Kool-Aid,” he said in an interview with Empire magazine.

Launched back in 2013 with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as the lead, the DC live-action connected universe aka the Dceu finally succumbed to its own box-office and critical failures following the release of Justice League. Taking control of the remnants and determined to start over with a clean slate came James Gunn and Peter Safran, the former almost ready to kick-start it all with Superman.

Starring David Corenswet as the next wearer of the red cape, The Suicide Squad director will mark his second DC directorial project and the first in the new universe. Planned meticulously, the film has now taken full steam after initial restructurings and title changes. Furthermore, its latest move comes across as a double-edged sword, with one side being in fans’ favor, but the other bearing severe inconvenience to a few US residents.

Henry Cavill’s biggest flop of the year surprised director Matthew Vaughn in ways he did not expect. The filmmaker, who also helmed the successful Kingsman franchise, thought the 2024 spy thriller film would be a nice feel-good show for everyone, but what happened was the complete opposite.

Argylle was peppered with harsh criticism from fans and reviewers. Over the past years, there has been an oversaturation of espionage-themed movies in the market, but the root cause of its failure was the early negative reviews that discouraged fans from giving it a chance.

Could it be time for a familiar face to soar once again through the DC universe? Michael Rosenbaum, whose turn as the infamous Lex Luthor earned him a legion of fans in Alfred Gough & Miles Millar’s iconic Smallville series, may just have the key to unlocking his return to James Gunn’s Dcu—under one clear, heartfelt condition.
With a candid moment tinged with possibilities, Rosenbaum recently shared that he would be thrilled to play the incredibly complex villain, given the right pitch and call from his friend James Gunn. The Smallville series followed Clark (played by Tom Welling) as he learned about his Kryptonian ancestry and eventually underwent the training that would prepare him to become Superman.

With a track record of turning stories into sensational films, Matthew Vaughn has already astonished us with his directorial finesse. Unfortunately, in addition to creating critically acclaimed flicks like Layer Cake, Stardust, X-Men: First Class, and Kingsman: The Secret Service, he has also directed films that fell flat with critics. That being said, his recent release—Argylle—starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Bryan Cranston, and Henry Cavill—has failed to capture the hearts of theatergoers.
Despite not breaking even at the box office, the film performed well on streaming platforms. While the box office numbers are still rolling in, with Vaughn at the helm and the film gaining traction, Argylle appears to be ripe for expansion.

Unfortunately, no matter how much money is spent on a movie, critics may not see its appeal. Directed and produced by Matthew Vaughn, Argylle had all chances to become a success, but bombed at theaters and lost against its $200M budget. However, that alone doesn’t mean that hopes for the movie to come back are over.
Thanks to the numbers the comedy managed to pull at the streaming services, Vaughn still believes that the movie has all chances to return with a sequel. 72% of viewers, according to Rotten Tomatoes audiences’ score, would be happy to watch it too.

Matthew Vaughn recently opened up to Empire magazine about enduring some of the worst reviews of his career with “Argylle,” the $200 million star-studded spy comedy that flopped in theaters this year with $96 million worldwide. The film, backed by Apple and released theatrically by Universal, intended to start a franchise and starred Bryce Dallas Howard as a reclusive spy novelist thrust into a real world of espionage. Henry Cavill, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, John Cena and more co-starred.
“Fuck yeah,” Vaughn responded when asked if the extremely negative “Argylle” reviews were disappointing to read. The movie has a 33% Rotten Tomatoes score from 292 reviews.

Matthew Vaughn has managed to establish himself as a brand name when action comedies are concerned. He managed to achieve success with the Kingsman series, but his filmography includes other interesting titles such as Stardust (2007), Kick-Ass (2010), and X-Men: First Class (2011). Vaughn is definitely a director who is interesting and who knows his trade, but his most recent feature, Argylle, was a complete flop, despite a potentially intriguing premise and a star-filled cast. The critics have panned the Kingsman spin-off, and it was a disaster at the box office, earning less than $100 million against a $200 million budget.
In a recent talk with Empire magazine, Vaughn discussed the reception of Argylle, and the director was not shy about expressing his disappointment with how it all turned out for the movie. He believes firmly that the movie was not that bad and that the reactions were simply too harsh.

The recent trend of adapting video games into TV series, especially animated series, has become quite popular. And one of the main reasons for this was Arcane, a Netflix animated series based on the popular game League of Legends by Riot Games. Arcane is one of the most successful animated series Netflix has ever produced.

When Argylle landed at the start of 2024, it was met – by and large – with a slew of negative reviews. Matthew Vaughn’s spy romp, in which Bryce Dallas Howard’s espionage author Elly Conway finds herself caught up in a real spy story, saw the Kingsman filmmaker engage with a different tone of action-adventure story than he’d previously explored. But while the film was welcomed by some viewers, it also received some starkly critical reactions – and grossed just $96.2 million at the box office, before making its way to Apple TV+. It was not exactly what Vaughn hoped for, having imagined Argylle as the starting point for all kinds of adventures to come, both in the ‘real-world’ setting inhabited by Conway and Sam Rockwell’s Aidan Wilde, and the fictional world of Conway’s novels led by Henry Cavill’s Agent Argylle.

MultiVersus, the recently launched free-to-play platform fighter, isn’t shying away from a little friendly fire by poking fun at DC’s characters and actors. In a hilarious nod to DC Comics’ 2022 box office struggles via the film Black Adam, the game playfully throws some shade at Dwayne Johnson’s highly-memed statement – “The hierarchy of power in the DC universe is about to change”.
MultiVersus Pokes Fun at a Certain Dwayne Johnson Statement
MultiVersus officially launched on May 28, 2024.
In a clip from the game, Joker can be seen interacting with Black Adam and taking a jab at him with the line “Weren’t you supposed to be rearranging the hierarchy or something?”. This is a reference to The Rock’s big push for the character to become a centerpiece of the old Dceu.

Superman is set to be the first major installment of James Gunn’s new and improved Dcu. However, it seems that the shadow of the Dceu is never going to stop haunting WB, as Snyder’s version of the DC Mythos still seems to be the benchmark for a whole section of the fandom that the new Dcu is going to be measured against.

Despite all the efforts being taken to create a new cohesive universe that could bring fans a brilliantly shared continuity across multiple films, there seems to be a lot of criticisms that are being levied at the film without even a proper trailer or even a teaser. The Dcu seems to be unable to escape the shadow of the Dceu, as a slew of fans have found yet another aspect of James Gunn’s version of Superman to critique.

According to a source, producer Barbara Broccoli is looking at artists such as Bruno Mars and The Weeknd to produce the theme song of the next Bond film.
The James Bond films have always featured an original song for their grand opening credits sequences. Three of these songs have won Oscars in the past, including Adele’s ‘Skyfall’, Sam Smith’s ‘Writing’s on the Wall’, and Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s ‘No Time To Die’. The new Bond film might have a change in style due to the artists the production is eyeing.

He reportedly went behind the backs of executives to bring Henry Cavill back as Superman, refused to share the screen with Zachary Levi's Shazam, and hoped to launch everything from a Justice Society movie to Hawkman as part of a slate he and Seven Bucks Productions would oversee.
Black Adam proved to be a mess of a movie with murky visuals and hit-and-miss CGI. Crucially, box office numbers weren't good, reviews were even worse, and Johnson soured people on this already struggling franchise enough to impact 2023's Dceu titles negatively.
