Spider Noir's New Trailer, DCU Changes, and a trailer for House of the Dragon Season 3Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.The official trailer for Prime Video's Spider-Noir was released on Saturday during Mexico City's CCXP pop culture festival. In addition to showcasing our most significant looks at Nicolas Cage in the role, gumshoe Ben Reilly, alongside glimpses of villains Sandman, Electro, Tombstone and Brendan Gleeson's yet-to-be-named mob boss character, the trailer also emphasized the series availability to stream in true noir black and white, or color which they have dubbed “True-Hue Full Color”. Saturday's CCXP Mexico was also the site for HBO Max's unveiling of a new official teaser trailer for House of the Dragon's third season. In typical Game of Thrones fashion, the one minute 55 second teaser hints at power struggles and with high production value on display seemed to deliver on the cast members and showrunners promises of more battles, blood and, of course, dragons.It's been a little quiet on the DCU front outside of last week's Clayface trailer, but we now have multiple updates on multiple projects in the cooker, or perhaps not. First, James Gunn revealed that the DCU movie The Authority is no longer in active development. First announced in he and Peter Safrans' 2023 DCU announcements, Gunn said the film's script “wasn't there” and that it didn't fit into the larger DCU. And regarding the franchise's streaming output, HBO and DC temporarily removed the Lanterns trailer from all official platforms without explanation, possibly due to a music licensing issue with a Bruce Springsteen track used in the teaser; but the trailer is now live again with the song in question removed and added text indicating an August release for the series.Lionsgate's Michael set the record for biggest opening weekend for a musical biopic with $97M domestically and $217M globally, dethroning The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and surpassing the previous record held by Straight Outta Compton at $60.2M.Paramount has released the first teaser trailer for season 4 of Star Trek Strange New Worlds and announced a release date. The upcoming season premiere will debut globally on July 23. The 10-episode season rolls out weekly on Thursdays through Sept. 24Studios and streamers are currently bidding on a feature adaptation of the Battlefield video games which has Mission Impossible filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie attached to write and direct and Sinners star Michael B. Jordan attached to produce and possibly star.As the final season of Prime Video's The Boys comes to a close, the streamer has confirmed that spin off series Gen V will end with the previously aired season 2 and will not continue for a third season and that series prequel Vought Rising will debut sometime in 2027.AppleTV has announced that season 4 of Ted Lasso will debut on August 5th and have released a first look teaser trailer for the upcoming season.Laura Dern has joined the cast of season 4 of HBO's The White Lotus.In an interview with CinemaHub, Andy Serkis seemingly accidentally revealed that Iman Vellani is in Avengers: Doomsday. He told her “I can't wait to see you in Doomsday” to which she responded immediately “no you can't say that”

It's kind of hard to believe that it is yet again time for another Weekly Planet podcast. It's even harder to believe we talk about the movie Exit 8 and also the Michael Jackson biopic. Plus we talk the news of the week which involves a new video game adaptation from Christopher McQuarrie and Michael B Jordan, the cancellation of Gen V, trailers for Clayface, the first DCU horror movie, Coyote vs ACME, Spider-Noir, Coyote vs. ACME, big trouble for that dude who leaked the Avatar: The Last Airbender movie and a whole lot more.

This week on Shat the Movies, we're diving into The Way of the Gun (2000), where kidnapping goes sideways and nobody is as smart as they think they are. Ryan Phillippe and Benicio del Toro play low-rent criminals who stumble into a job way over their heads, and things get messy fast. Gene and Big D break down the brutal realism, awkward silences, and a shootout style that feels way too grounded to be comfortable. Is this a hidden gem or just a cold, slow burn that never quite pays off? Tune in and find out. Full movie info below The Way of the Gun (2000) is a crime thriller written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie and stars Ryan Phillippe, Benicio del Toro, Juliette Lewis, and James Caan. The film follows two small-time crooks who kidnap a pregnant woman involved in a high-stakes surrogacy deal, only to find themselves hunted by dangerous professionals. Known for its realistic gunplay and stripped-down storytelling, the film has developed a cult following despite mixed reactions at release.

As hosts of a civics podcast, we are not allowed to advocate for policy. But you can. Here are three things you can do to get your elected officials to listen when you're mad about something. By way of example, Nick reveals his pettiest, most apolitical gripe; and methods he would hypothetically use to address it. We talk lobbying, contacting your electeds, and getting (possibly famous) people together to advocate for change. This episode features Emily Gallagher, serving District 50 in the New York State Assembly, and Eric Schwartz, of the National Film Preservation Foundation. Here is Eric's piece on the National Film Preservation Act of 1988. Here is our episode on Who REALLY Writes Bills. Here is a video of Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie complaining about the soap opera effect. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your hosts A. J. Black & Mark McManus take a look at 1995's modern noir from director Bryan Singer and writer Christopher McQuarrie, The Usual Suspects. Feted at the time as an immediate crime noir classic, a reputation that burned for two decades, Singer's film feels increasingly sidelined thanks to the sullied reputation of he and star Kevin Spacey, but is this fair of audiences? Tony and Mark wade into the thorny Art vs Artist debate as they make the case for a remarkable film. Will you be convinced? Find out... Host / Editor A. J. Black Co-Host Mark McManus Find A.

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes revisit "The Way of the Gun", Christopher McQuarrie's sharp, character-driven crime thriller and directorial debut.Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this one. The performances are firing on all cylinders, with the legendary James Caan bringing gravitas and menace to every scene he's in. Benicio Del Toro and Ryan Phillippe anchor the film as two genuinely bad men, not misunderstood antiheroes, but criminals who are unapologetically who they are. That commitment to morally compromised characters gives the film a harder edge than most crime thrillers of its era.McQuarrie's first outing behind the camera shows remarkable confidence, with tight dialogue, grounded action, and characters who always feel true to themselves. Butler suspects younger him would have absolutely loved this film, while Field appreciates it even more now, finding its maturity and restraint more compelling with age.Dark, deliberate, and unapologetically adult, "The Way of the Gun" stands as one of the stronger crime films of the early 2000s and a reminder of how effective simple, character-focused storytelling can be.What's your favorite film about a bad guy(s) where they are the lead and actually ARE the bad guy? Let us know in the comments!

Send us a textEpisode 249 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Bryan Singers neo-noir masterpiece, 1995's, The Usual Suspects. Whether it be its much celebrated screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie, Bryan Singer's wonderful direction or its impeccable cast, there are many reasons to love The Usual Suspects.....but does it hold up in 2026? And have Singers and Spacey's much discussed legal issues pushed this 90s classic out of the limelight? Listen in via your podcast platform of choice to find out. 

We did it!!! The Final Reckoning is here! What started as a silly project to expose Megan to the ultimate action espionage franchise turned into a rebirth for I Like to Movie Movie, and we could not be happier for the results. We also could not be happier to finally be out from under this franchise. We are now free. Free to wear whatever masks we choose. In this episode we look back on the history of the franchise and assess Final Reckoning's role as not just the end of the story, but the end of a filmmaking era. What's next for Tom Cruise? What's next for Christopher McQuarrie? Why did the navy put its hottest soldiers on the same submarine? When did Luther fall ill? Is that Ilsa Faust we see?

Dom talks to Simon McBurney OBE, the co-founder and artistic director of the monumentally consequential theatre company Complicité, and an actor you'll recognise from his roles in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Duchess, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, and Rev, to name just a few. His latest show is FIGURES IN EXTINCTION, a co-creation with the Olivier Award winner Crystal Pite; a collaboration between Complicité and Nederlands Dans Theater. The conversation ranges from what it's like to direct Al Pacino in a play, to being directed by Robert Eggers and Christopher McQuarrie, to humanity's relationship with mortality and how to convey that through physical theatre. With special thanks to Sadler's Wells, Will Ferreira Dyke, and Farah Sadek.

Hello, movie maniacs! Mary and David continue McQuarrying this week as Christopher McQuarrie is freed from director jail and given the reins of Paramount's newest cash cow franchise Jack Reacher with a star hot off the hit film Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. He may not be as tall as the titular hero, but could […]

Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.  Yo, put the da bomb rap-rock mix CD on the Walkman, brush off your fly three-button boxy suit, and get your pre-9/1l cool on fo' shizzle, home skillet, as TGTPTU breaks with its patent-pending temporal pincer movement to cover THE WAY OF THE GUN (2000).   Before he (strike as appropriate: ruined / renewed / continued) the Mission Impossible film franchise but after winning the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for 1995's The Usual Suspects, Christopher McQuarrie would write and direct this (strike as appropriate: possible war crime / secret masterpiece / neo-Western action-thriller satire), and land in director jail. Unlike a highly successful sequel he'd write and produce two decades later also with “gun” in the title, McQuarrie's directorial debut was not “top,” nor would it receive any Academy noms for Orig Screenplay or Best Pic. Instead, it would be twelve years before McQuarrie would direct again when he'd write and direct Jack Reacher (the one ((strike as appropriate: starring / miscast)) with Tom Cruise).   The Way of the Gun was purportedly McQuarrie's attempt to unmake the antihero criminal movie popular by the late-90s by going further than other films had in making its felonious buddy protagonists not just unlikeable but reprehensible. Selected for the job, after many turned down the role, Ryan Phillippe who got a haircut and adopted a voice for the role of Parker (no relation to the Richard Stark series) and the always magnetic Benicio del Toro as Longbaugh. These two petty but also not-so-petty criminals happen upon a scheme during their brief road trip's peeing in bottles, punching women, and distributing sperm to banks for quick cash, a plan involving kidnapping for ransom a surrogate mother named Robin (played by Juliette Lewis) who SPOILER ALERT whose baby doctor is her baby daddy who, despite having a different last name, is SPOILER the son of the expected father of the embryo that didn't take and the plot gets (strike as appropriate: purposively complex / even dumber / more twisted / majorly buggin') from there. Another Lewis, pod favorite and Juliette's father Geoffrey, is introduced (strike as appropriate: losing / winning) at a complex variation of Russian roulette as part of James Caan's Members-only posse who mount up for the film's squibbiest moment, a finale at a Mexican cantina and whorehouse.  O.G. host Ken casts Jonah Hill as Jonah Hex in a McG remake of the film while hosts Thomas and Ryan introduce Natural Born Killers into the chat, wondering if it not The Friends of Eddie Coyle for the 90s. Guest host Jack defends the movie's inclusion in Season 15 as all that and a bag of chips and not wiggity wiggity wack. Next week is Robocop. Psych! My bad. That's in the pairing after next.

Verbal Diorama meets Verbal Kint in a neo-noir crime thriller, based somewhat on a true story, from the mind of Oscar-winning screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie.An idea based on a line from Casablanca, The Usual Suspects takes five felons in a line-up and creates the layers of deceit and twists, before the final realisation that Keyser Söze may not be who we thought it was - or was he?Who is Keyser Söze?With a heavyweight cast of big names and character actors, everyone in this movie is impeccable to the very end. And of course, the film's iconic twist ending cleverly invites viewers to question everything they thought they knew about the characters. The Usual Suspects' atypical non-linear storytelling made it stand out against other neo-noir crime dramas of the 90s, along with its extremely unreliable narrator. What is true? What isn't? The line-up scene and Benicio del Toro's unexpected flatulence during filming is very true, and led to a scene that became one of the film's most memorable and humorous moments. But really the legacy of the film and how it became a cult classic, aided by a brilliant marketing campaign, is the lingering mystery and pop culture creation of Keyser Söze. I would love to hear your thoughts on The Usual Suspects !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week we're hanging off helicopters, sprinting across rooftops, and disarming nuclear bombs with the pulse-pounding Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018). Strap in as we break down the sixth entry in the franchise that somehow keeps getting better with age — just like Tom Cruise's running form.Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, Fallout is a masterclass in high-octane action, espionage, and what happens when your best-laid plans go completely off the rails. Picking up where Rogue Nation left off, the film follows IMF agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) as he races to recover stolen plutonium and prevent a global catastrophe, all while being shadowed by CIA operative August Walker (a moustachioed Henry Cavill in full-blown hammer-mode).Mission: Impossible – Fallout is everything you want from a blockbuster: smart, stylish, and absurdly entertaining. It's the kind of movie that reminds you why the cinema was invented — big screen thrills, practical effects, and heroes just trying to do the right thing, even when the odds are impossible.Perfect for older teens and up, it's a great gateway to the M:I franchise or a highlight for returning fans. Just be warned — you may find yourself trying to reload your arms like Cavill afterwards.An action film operating at the absolute peak of its powers, Fallout proves that this franchise isn't slowing down anytime soon. In fact, it might just be the best of the bunch.

Whether it's Tom Cruise risking his neck underwater, or above ground while clinging to the wing of a biplane, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning is filled with stunts that might just turn your hair white. That's if you don't lose it completely. That's just one of the side effects discussed in this Empire Podcast interview special, as the film's second unit director and stunt co-ordinator, the wonderful Wade Eastwood, sits down on Zoom with Chris Hewitt, and tells us how he, Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie and their team pulled off some of the greatest stunts ever committed to celluloid.

Tom Cruise stars as the mysterious drifter and former military investigator in this gritty action thriller.

Does this adaptation of Lee Child's popular novel One Shot hit the mark? Listen now as our hosts break down the action, the performances, and whether Jack Reacher stands tall or falls short.

Today, they discuss their favorite installment of the beloved Tom Cruise action franchise with ‘Mission: Impossible—Fallout', which features some of the greatest action filmmaking of all time. They explain why this concretized director Christopher McQuarrie as a legitimate star filmmaker, explore what this film means and represents about Cruise's movie stardom persona, and share why they went with this film instead of ‘Top Gun: Maverick' as the official late-stage Cruise movie for the list.
