The advent of Disney+ is already promising several huge Marvel TV properties. Not only is there going to be a series focussing on ‘What If’ storylines, but there are also going to be some notable and in canon stories about MCU characters coming to the new streaming service, such as WandaVision, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier, as well as the Loki TV show. The Loki TV series raises an important question for the future of Marvel TV, will there be any more shows about MCU villains?...

Darth Vader isn’t only one of the most popular villains of all time, but Anakin Skywalker’s story was originally the heart of the Star Wars Skywalker saga, something completely fumbled by the sequel trilogy, especially Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Continuing the Star Wars franchise beyond the six movies made by George Lucas was always going to be a tough proposition, but Disney and Lucasfilm made some great decisions early on by bringing back the original trilogy cast for a sequel trilogy that passes the torch to a new cast of characters....

Although the Mac has its own App Store, it’s not exactly as popular as the iOS App Store since Mac users can install apps from third-party sources. And while some developers trust their apps to the App Store, Apple’s platform lets them down in some ways. This time, developers of the Kaleidoscope app wrote a letter complaining about App Store bundles and the lack of paid app upgrades. For those unfamiliar, Kaleidoscope is a popular macOS app that offers advanced tools for comparing folders and files....

When most smartphone companies are launching their latest 5G enabled smartphones. Huawei just launched their latest Honor 9X & Honor 9X Pro devices. Both these devices give tough competition to major mid-range smartphones. However, it does come with a pop-up camera mechanism. Because of that, many customers suspect that these new devices are not waterproof at all. These popup cameras also raise the problem with splashproof protection as well. So customers want to know whether the new Huawei Honor 9X and 9X Pro have waterproof ratings or not....

Apple products used to be something IT departments hated to deploy, but that mindset has certainly shifted in recent years. A lot has changed to get us to this point, but one thing was the key enabler to Apple’s growth in the enterprise: web applications. Now, you are probably thinking, why have web apps led to Apple’s growth in the enterprise? Your natural thought process would be that if an organization runs a lot of web applications, they’d want to deploy the cheapest hardware possible....

If there’s something scary in the water, there’s a good chance Alexandre Aja put it there. The horror auteur is arguably best known for his 2010 horror masterpiece, Piranha 3D, one of the most gloriously and disturbingly violent films ever made. His latest film, Crawl, strikes a decidedly more down-to-earth tone, trading the outrageously over-the-top spring break insanity of Piranha for a much more realistic and character-driven spin on the “scary monster in the water” genre....

February is Black History Month! What better way to observe this uniquely American celebration than with a curated list of films and television shows that tell Black stories! Disney+ offers a plethora of its works both old and new. The beauty of this streaming service is its rich array of Disney content dating back to the 1930s. With such a massive library comes access to the films and TV shows that highlight diversity through the scope of Disney magic....

Disney unveils plans for a massive overhaul of its Epcot center park at Walt Disney World, transforming it into four neighborhoods.

Hailed as one of the biggest events in the world, D23 has revealed vital nuggets of information for the entertainment industry, including new footage from Frozen 2, the Black Panther 2 release date, Star Wars 9’s poster, and much more....

On Tuesday we reported that Apple was planning to reveal its entry into the wearable market in August or September. Now a new Digitimes report corroborates that timeframe. According to the new report, three different firms have supplied Apple with samples of flexible circuit boards that will be integrated into the iWatch for a fall release. The companies involved are Flexium Interconnect, Career Technology, and Zhen Ding Technology Holding, according to Digitimes....

The rumors have been going on for months, but Digitimes is today saying Apple’s new processor foundry is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). The move by Apple is believed to be precipitated by Apple’s ongoing legal battles with Samsung, who has provided Apple with processors since the original iPhone was released in 2007 through Apple’s release of “its own” A4 processor and A5 iPad processor earlier this year. The contract appears to be long and lucrative for TSMC....

Fresh on the heels of its purchase of communications company DBSD North America for about $1.4 billion, Dish Network snapped up video rental service operator Blockbuster in a bankruptcy auction for a cool $320 million. About $228 million will be paid in cash and the transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2011. The company outbid at least three contenders and now stands to bolster its offering by taking advantage of Blockbuster’s online movie rentals, Reuters explains:...

Boyce portrayed Carlos, the son of Cruella de Vil, and will appear posthumously in Descendants 3, set to release next month. Boyce was born and raised in Los Angeles.

Disney is releasing a recorded movie version of the Hamilton stage musical in 2021. Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the show tells the story of lesser-known American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton through a variety of modern musical styles. It was easily the biggest Broadway sensation in the 2010s, making a star out of Miranda - who also played Hamilton in the musical’s original Broadway run - in the process. The multi-hyphenate has since gone on to co-write the music for Disney’s Moana and star in films like Mary Poppins Returns, in addition to his role on the BBC and HBO’s His Dark Materials TV series....

Oscar-winner Robert Zemeckis has entered talks to direct Disney’s live-action Pinocchio remake. Save for Tim Burton’s Dumbo, just about every one of the Mouse House’s live-action or CG retellings of its animated classics so far has been a huge commercial success. Aladdin and The Lion King both topped $1 billion this year alone, as did Beauty and the Beast in 2017 and (very nearly) The Jungle Book before them. As such, it’s no surprise that Disney has turned its eye to re-imaginging some of its older animated features next, including its 1940 adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s story Pinocchio....

To anyone who was a pre-teen or teenager in the 1990s, the name Devon Sawa rings a bell. To some, he was a heartthrob. To others, a hip young actor, working alongside names like Christina Ricci and Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Sawa is a native of Canada, Vancouver specifically, who had his debut in 1994’s Little Giants. He spent the next six years starring in a slew of films about the various trials and tribulations of youth....

With eight seasons, Dexter went down as one of the best television series of all time, following Dexter Morgan who is a man with homicidal tendencies that happens to also work as a forensic technician for the police apartment. The double life of this cold killer happening to also work for the police was something that really felt unique and led to some truly gripping episodes that go down as some of the best ever....

When Disney+ launches on November 12, you’ll be able to sign up for a bundle of Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu for $12.99 per month. Disney hinted at such a bundle when it originally announced Disney+ earlier this year, but it made things official today in conjunction with its quarterly earnings report. With this bundle, you’ll receive ESPN+, which normally goes for $4....

Disney and Lucasfilm have rushed out the Star Wars sequel trilogy too fast, and they’ve in turn ruined the franchise (perhaps a little) by doing so. After Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox released the first Star Wars movie back in 1977, it took them another three years for George Lucas’ sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, to hit theaters in 1980. Sure, a sequel wasn’t something that was immediately planned and put into development, but even the rest of the Star Wars saga stayed true to the three-year gap per movie....
