One of the most iconic moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is arguably the elevator scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Some video footage from Chris Evans' rehearsal has found its way online and it shows just how much hard work went into making the scene happen. For those who need a quick refresher, it's the scene where Cap takes down an elevator full of HYDRA agents posing as members of S.H.I.E.L.D., which was touched on again in this year's Avengers: Endgame. The Captain America: Winter Soldier rehearsal footage takes place in a makeshift elevator. Chris Evans can be seen getting ready to try the fight scene out with a bunch of other actors who are ready to tear the fictional hero apart. Once action is called, one can see how much choreography goes into making an MCU fight scene look so good on the big screen.

Captain America is obviously a huge … [Read more...] about This Captain America: The Winter Soldier Elevator Fight Rehearsal Footage Is Intense

Just days after the film and music world lost icon David Bowie, Hollywood is mourning the loss of another legend. Alan Rickman, best known for his roles as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies, has passed away at the age of 69. The Guardian reports that the actor had been battling cancer, and that he died "surrounded by family and friends." Here's what Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling had to say in a statement. "There are no words to express how shocked and devastated I am to hear of Alan Rickman's death. He was a magnificent actor & a wonderful man." After a number of minor roles in British TV shows, Alan Rickman made his feature film debut in the 1988 action classic Die Hard, portraying the iconic villain Hans Gruber.

Some of the larger issues Star Wars fans have had with the new trilogy are Rey's origins and her Force powers that seemingly came out of nowhere during the middle of J.J. Abrams' The Force Awakens. Ever since Rey was introduced, her lineage has been a big topic of debate and many believed the story of her parents included in The Last Jedi would finally explain her uncanny Force powers that she was easily able to harness. Though The Last Jedi actually did not end up addressing any of these questions, a new Darth Vader comic book offers some explanations. There are SPOILERS for The Last Jedi ahead, so read at your own risk. Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi revealed that Rey's parents were nobodies. Just drunks who ditched her on the junk planet of Jakku, having no impact on the storyline of the new trilogy at all. Many Star Wars fans expected her to be a secret Skywalker or Kenobi, but that was not the case. This big reveal led to even more anger about Rey's powerful use of the Force, … [Read more...] about Rey’s Force Powers Explained in New Darth Vader Comic
