According to industry insider John Campea, Marvel Studios is considering moving up the release date of Avengers: Doomsday by one week to December 11th.

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Alex Kurtzman shared that he drew inspiration from Dominic Toretto’s focus on family while making The Mummy. While the Fast & Furious movies use family to create emotional connections amid all the action, Kurtzman flipped that idea for horror. He wanted to create a sense of security with family relationships, then subvert the audience’s expectations by contrasting that warmth with the film’s supernatural and frightening elements, ultimately tapping into universal human anxieties.

The creative team was encouraged to make it more ambitious and expansive than previous projects.

Michael Bay’s 1996 film, The Rock, is a surprisingly great action movie that doesn’t always get the credit it deserves. The film stars Sean Connery as a former British spy held captive in Alcatraz, who teams up with FBI agent Dr. Stanley Goodspeed, played by Nicolas Cage, to stop a group of rogue ex-soldiers from unleashing chemical weapons on San Francisco. It’s a wild, over-the-top story with plenty of explosive action and memorable lines – exactly what you’d expect from a Michael Bay film. This signature style has made The Rock a beloved movie among fans, earning it an impressive 85% user score on Rotten Tomatoes with countless 5-star reviews.
