Veteran Japanese film producer Muneyuki Kii has assembled a bold new venture to shake up Japan’s traditionally sclerotic and risk-averse approach to movie financing. The executive, formerly a lead producer at Tokyo-based studio Toei, revealed the launch Thursday of K2 Pictures, a mini-studio that aims to bring a more direct, Hollywood-style model of film funding to Japan’s industry.
The new company will launch a content fund — dubbed the “K2P Film Fund I” — to finance both live-action and animated Japanese features. K2P also has lined up an impressive roster of Japanese directors to collaborate with on its first slate, including Palme d’Or winner Hirokazu Kore-eda (Shoplifters), local industry mainstay Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, 13 Assassins), Shunji Iwai (Love Letter), Miwa Nishikawa (Sway), Kazuya Shiraishi (The Devil’s Path) and leading anime studio Mappa, known for mega-hits like Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and Attack on Titan.

Former Toei producer Muneyuki Kim has launched K2 Pictures, which will work with major directors such as Hirokazu Kore-eda and aim to create a new funding ecosystem for Japanese animated and live-action features.
The plan is to return profits that would traditionally go to film companies to investors and creators, which its founder says closely follows approaches used in Hollywood and elsewhere. Creators who team with K2 will be able to participate on projects as shareholders.
Kii, who will be K2’s CEO, says most Japanese films are produced through a system of ‘production committees’ with industry know-how formed through film companies, TV networks and publishers, which it believes makes entry into the market difficult and limits returns to producers and creators.

With the release of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in 2013, the Marvel Cinematic Universe made the move from the big screen to the small screen. Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), who portrays the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents’ team, serves as the focal point of Joss Whedon’s TV series.
Despite the seven seasons and 136 episodes, culminating in a two-part series finale that aired in 2020, there were some things left untouched. Yes, Marvel fans have been shipping Coulson and Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) for years now, hoping for a romantic storyline between the two fan-favorite Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. However, unfortunately, it appears that Marvel may have erred by ignoring this possible love tale.

Ghost Rider is one of the most popular Marvel characters fans have been clamoring to see in the MCU. However, fans have also debated over who should be the actor playing the Spirit of Vengeance on the big screen. While many believe that actor Keanu Reeves is the best fit for the part, another actor makes an equally worthy candidate.
Keanu Reeves has been a fan-favorite to play MCU’s Ghost Rider.
In the past, The Walking Dead-fame actor Norman Reedus publicly voiced his desire to play the role of Ghost Rider in the MCU. Given Reedus’ filmography and public persona, there is an argument to be made for him probably being better suited for the MCU’s version of Ghost Rider. Here is why Norman Reedus might be a better pick for Ghost Rider in the MCU.

Even though it’s only the start of April, it’s already been one hell of a year for Austin Butler. The Elvis actor started 2024 by taking to the skies in Apple TV+’s wartime drama Masters Of The Air, before blowing everyone away in Dune: Part Two with his transformative take on the fearsome Feyd-Rautha. His stellar run is set to continue later in the year with The Bikeriders – the long-awaited motorcycle club drama from acclaimed filmmaker Jeff Nichols, based on photojournalist Danny Lyon’s 1968 tome documenting biker gang the Outlaws. It’s a film set to send Butler into Easy Rider mode.
As Nichols tells Empire, he was the perfect pick to portray the enigmatic Benny. “The minute I was shaking his hand, I just was like, ‘Wow, this is a good-looking guy,’” the director says of his first meeting with the star. “But he’s so disarming...

Drake Bell and Rider Strong are speaking.
Rider, who became close friends with dialogue coach Brian Peck after meeting on Boy Meets World, was one of the many actors who wrote a letter in defense of the coach’s character after Drake accused him of sexual assault in 2003, as explored in Investigation Discovery’s Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.
At the time, Brian pleaded no contest to two charges of child sexual abuse, and was sentenced to 16 months in prison. He later had to register as a sex offender.
Drake revealed recently that he reconnected with Rider Strong.

In a mesmerizing fan-made trailer, Keanu Reeves embodies Marvel Studios’ Ghost Rider, stirring discussions about the Spirit of Vengeance possibly entering the MCU. First seen in a comic called Marvel Spotlight #5 in 1972, Johnny Blaze, aka Ghost Rider, has amassed a loyal following, affiliating with teams such as the Avengers, Thunderbolts, and Midnight Sons. Though Robbie Reyes (another Ghost Rider with a different back story) cameoed in Agents of Shield, speculation swirls around Marvel Studios’ strategy for a renewed MCU depiction.

When it comes to creators of animated superhero shows, few names resonate as strongly as John Semper. The realm of superheroes is ever-evolving. It is spread across multiple forms of media and holds a special place in the hearts of millions. The animated shows and movies tend to hold a special place within the fandom.
Renowned for creating the infamous Spider-Man: The Animated Series back in the 90s, Semper is held in great regard. After the success of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, the filmmaker wanted to make a Ghost Rider show.

Being an established showrunner, one would expect Semper to get things his way with the higher-ups. But this wasn’t always the case. An interruption from former Marvel chairman Avi Arad, completely shut down the Ghost Rider show.

When Doja Cat released Scarlet in October 2023, the album functioned as an introduction to the new Doja: the one who put her fans to the ultimate loyalty test and shifted her focus towards the ones who stood by her side. It was also the Doja who discarded her past releases Planet Her and Hot Pink as cash grabs that a foolish pop audience fell for. Still, the general public latched onto Scarlet singles “Paint the Town Red” and “Agora Hills” as though not much had changed at all. And on...

The Incredible Hulk is one of the strongest characters from Marvel Comics, who boasts several powerful forms, including the nigh-invulnerable World Breaker Hulk. In the comics, when the Hulk goes on a rampage in this form, even the strongest superheroes struggle to fight him. However, Ghost Rider is considered among the few who can go toe-to-toe with the Jade Giant.

However, the event also led to an interesting revelation about the latter’s powers and their effect on the Hulk.

The release of ‘Echo’ show brought several new things to the MCU. It was the first show to air under the Marvel Spotlight banner and the first character-driven R-rated show. Despite the relatively unknown character helming it, it achieved decent success. The most groundbreaking thing about ‘Echo’ was the fact that the showrunners were forced to canonize Netflix’s ‘The Defenders Saga’ and add it to the official MCU timeline.
Yes, doing this opened up some potential plotholes that will presumably be ironed out in future projects, but it had to be done. Kingpin played a massive role in ‘Echo’ and his backstory played a massive role, the showrunners had no choice but to add Netflix’s shows to the MCU Timeline despite not referencing them at all in prior Disney+ projects. Brad Winderbaum explained their train of thought in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Back when it was all fields around here, TV show titles were in abundance. In the days when television used to be hand-stretched and sun-dried and made at a gentlemanly pace by artisanal methods, there were titles galore. Worzel Gummidge. Starsky and Hutch. Last of the Summer Wine. Distinct and descriptive titles milled around drinking holes, and all writers had to do was toss in a lasso and drag out a Sapphire & Steel or a Knight Rider.
But thanks to streaming, nowadays TV is made in windowless factories and injected with antibiotics and e-numbers. There can never be enough. Every streamer requires a chunky flow of television shows they can release all on the same day, not tell anybody about, and quickly delete for tax purposes before anybody watches them. And the first casualty? The titles.
The problem is, the glut has dried up the supply. Abstract nouns. Character names.

Although Moon Knight had its detractors, the story of mercenary Marc Spector and his other personalities captured enough of an audience that many Marvel fans are calling for second season. Thus far, no second season has been announced, and recent comments from Disney CEO Bob Iger about focusing on its “strongest franchises” only throw the possibility into further doubt.
But there is one guy who hasn’t lost faith: Oscar Isaac. An Instagram post from Geek House Show features Isaac talking at a panel during Middle East Film and Comic Con. When asked about the future of Moon Knight in the MCU, Isaac described his hopes for the character, revealing not only that he’s game to play the character again but also dropping a surprising season 2 idea in the process. “I thought there was an interesting opportunity with Midnight Sons,” he answers, referring to a long-running Marvel Comics team that usually fights supernatural threats.

The original 1954 "Godzilla" was directed by Ishirō Honda, butithout minimizing his importance, it's impossible that the film would have turned out the same way without the special effects Director Eiji Tsuburaya. Portraying a giant monster with the convincing scale of Godzilla had almost never been done before and crafting the monster was Tsuburaya's responsibility.
Tsuburaya had a prolific career that began almost 30 years before he worked on "Godzilla," and included previous collaborations with Honda on the war films "Eagle of the Pacific" and "Farewell Rabaul." Today, though, he is mostly remembered as "the father of Tokusatsu" or effects-heavy Japanese film/TV. Such productions typically depict actors in costume as giant monsters, robots, or superheroes. Tsuburaya earned this title not just through his work on "Godzilla" and subsequent films (such as "Rodan"), but by creating the 1967 TV series turned media phenomenon "Ultraman."

Disney’s Bob Iger recently emphasized the importance of prioritizing quality over quantity in a statement. The decline in the quality of recent MCU projects and Disney films is attributed to the rapid release of content, not superhero fatigue. In 2023, Disney might end the year without a billion-dollar movie for the first time since 2014 (excluding pandemic years).
Marvel Studios faced a setback with ‘The Marvels,’ the most recent MCU release, marking the first MCU film to fall below the $100 million mark domestically. Despite being one of the Studio’s most expensive superhero movies, it underperformed. The decline in quality extends to Disney+ shows, with the exception of ‘Loki’ Season 2, hailed as a masterpiece.
With over 20 projects on the release schedule, some in post-production and others affected by the SAG-AFTRA strike, the MCU is reassessing its strategy. Rumors suggest that in 2024, the Studio might release only ‘Deadpool 3,’ considering its significance...

Recently, Bob Iger of Disney came out with a statement that Disney should focus on quality over quantity and that the fact that recent projects, both when it comes to the MCU franchise and Disney shows and movies in general, can be attributed to the fact that they are pushing to much content out.
It’s not even a matter of superhero fatigue, as most of their projects seem to be underdelivering in recent times, and 2023 might be the first year since 2014 (pandemic years excluded) that Disney will be closing the year without a billion-dollar movie.
MCU’s most recent release ‘The Marvels’ has seen catastrophic results, considering that it’s one of the most expensive superhero movies that the Studio has ever made and the first MCU movie not to break the $100 million mark in history.

Peacock Original series “Twisted Metal” has unleashed a brand new “explicit” trailer this afternoon, labeled as such for one particularly gory scene featuring the villain Sweet Tooth.
The latest trailer for Peacock’s action-comedy series also puts the spotlight on the automobile action you’d expect from a “Twisted Metal” series, which surprisingly hasn’t been much of a focal point of the marketing up to this point. Watch the brand new trailer below.
“Twisted Metal” premieres on July 27, 2023, only on Peacock.
Peacock’s high-octane action comedy series starring Anthony Mackie follows “a motor-mouthed outsider who is offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.”
Will Arnett will be *voicing* Sweet Tooth in Peacock’s “Twisted Metal” television series, with Aew superstar Samoa Joe physically embodying the iconic character. Neve Campbell has been cast as Raven, with Stephanie Beatriz,...

After reimagining two other larger-than-life Japanese icons, Hideaki Anno naturally sought out another tokusatsu juggernaut to complete his “Shin” trilogy. And after the success of both Shin Godzilla and Shin Ultraman, fans of the filmmaker and/or Kamen Rider were curious to see how the grandfather of tokusatsu television would be updated. The final product ends up being more low-risk than Anno’s past projects, but Shin Kamen Rider is also one of his most heartfelt works to date.
Kamen Rider is certainly no stranger to reinvention. Despite the many entries in this long-running franchise, Anno goes back to the very beginning for Shin Kamen Rider’s story. Much like in the original TV series created by Shōtarō Ishinomori, the Kamen Rider seen here is a force of good with a dark origin. However, the movie reenvisions the terrorist organization Shocker as Shocker (an abbreviation for Sustainable Happiness Organization with...

A few weeks ago, we heard that Mia Goth – whose star is on the rise due to the attention she has received from her performances in the horror films X and Pearl – had signed on to play a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe reboot of Blade. Soon after, it was announced that True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto was coming on board to rewrite the screenplay written by Michael Starrbury (When They See Us)… and then the project had to be put on pause because of the Writers Guild strike. While we wait for the strike to end and for Blade to get rolling again, the well-sourced Daniel Richtman has dropped some details about Blade on his Patreon – including the reveal that Goth will be playing the primary villain, Lilith!
We have to take this as a Rumor for now, since Marvel hasn’t offered any details on Goth’s character,...

Glen Powell says he won’t be flying high with the “X-Men” anytime soon.
The “Top Gun: Maverick” breakout star recently shut down rumors that he would be playing Cyclops in an upcoming Marvel installment for the mutant franchise.
“Before Comic-Con, everybody was like, ‘Dude, are you Cyclops?’ No, I’m not,” Powell told Variety. “Nobody has called me. I don’t even have one contact info for Marvel, so I have no idea what people are talking about.”
Powell later tweeted to clarify his comments, writing, “I sound angry and confused, but I promise it’s just confused.”
And it seems a “Top Gun” spin-off featuring co-star Miles Teller is “more likely” anyways, as Powell previously quipped.
“Miles and I always send each other screenshots of random people who hope that Rooster and Hangman end up together,” the actor explained. “It’s, like, ‘The Notebook’ but with Rooster and Hangman.
The “Top Gun: Maverick” breakout star recently shut down rumors that he would be playing Cyclops in an upcoming Marvel installment for the mutant franchise.
“Before Comic-Con, everybody was like, ‘Dude, are you Cyclops?’ No, I’m not,” Powell told Variety. “Nobody has called me. I don’t even have one contact info for Marvel, so I have no idea what people are talking about.”
Powell later tweeted to clarify his comments, writing, “I sound angry and confused, but I promise it’s just confused.”

Over the course of his 40+ year career, Cage has starred in Oscar-nominated prestige flicks, direct-to-video schlock, crowd pleasing blockbusters, introspective indies, and everything in between.

But some matches, like this one, feel as though they would interesting to see in live-action or animation since it would be the kind of battle that wouldn’t end quickly. Shao Kahn and Ghost Rider are both characters that possess a great deal of power
