What Is Up With These Teasers for Danny McBride’s ‘Crocodile Dundee’ Sequel?
It started late last Friday, when People magazine ran a mysterious teaser for Dundee — a sequel to Paul Hogan’s classic Crocodile Dundee movies, starring Danny McBride as the American son of the titular Aussie hero. With little else to go on and with McBride premiering a film at Sundance this week, we assumed the teaser was a fake-out of some kind. Surely a bunch of people didn’t go off into the Outback and make a top-secret sequel to something like Crocodile Dundee, of all things…right? But then another teaser appeared.
New ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ Photo Gives Us Another Look at Evangeline Lilly in Costume
A new year means new movies, and Disney is staying on top of it with sneak peeks at some of their big upcoming sequels — including Ant-Man and the Wasp, which sees (as you can guess from the title) Evangeline Lilly suiting up to follow in her vanished mother’s super-footsteps with a cool suit of her very own. And the latest photo from the sequel to the 2015 Marvel movie delivers on the promise with another peek at Lilly’s super sleek Wasp suit…oh, and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man is there too, of course.

‘Teen Titans GO! to the Movies’ in First Trailer for New DC Animated Film
Justice League may not have been the awesome superhero ensemble we all wanted it to be, but another DC superhero team is on the way to a theater near you to (hopefully) make up for it. The first trailer for Teen Titans GO! to the Movies is here, revealing Warner Bros. latest super-effort, based on the popular Cartoon Network animated series. And yes, these adorable animated teen heroes are fully aware that you’d rather see more Wonder Woman — they would, too.
Stan Lee’s Attorney Denies Sexual Harassment and Groping Allegations
The tidal wave of sexual harassment and assault allegations that rocked Hollywood in recent months seemed to have taken a brief holiday vacation, but as evidenced by headlines (and the Golden Globes protest) over the past week, this long overdue reckoning will continue. Stan Lee, the former president of Marvel Comics and co-creator of many of the company’s iconic superheroes, is the latest name to become the subject of serious allegations, as employees of an unnamed nursing company have accused the 95-year-old legend of sexual harassment, groping and unwanted advances behind closed doors.
Disney Is Allegedly ‘Browning Up’ White Extras for ‘Aladdin’
Disney was met with anticipatory backlash upon announcing their plans for a live-action remake of Aladdin — the studio doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to diversity in front of and behind the scenes, after all. Despite hiring Guy Ritchie to direct the project, Disney publicly declared their commitment to enlisting regionally appropriate actors for Aladdin, which stars Mena Massoud as the eponymous hero opposite Naomi Scott as Jasmine and Marwan Kenzari as Jafar. But according to at least one actor on the set, Disney hasn’t entirely kept their promise.
James Franco Accused of Sexual Misconduct Following Golden Globes Win
When James Franco picked up a Golden Globe award last night for his portrayal of Tommy Wiseau in The Disaster Artist, his seeming refusal to let Wiseau himself speak wasn’t the only thing that drew criticism on social media. Franco, who wore a “Time’s Up” pin to support the protest against sexual harassment and assault, was swiftly called out for his hypocrisy on Twitter by multiple women — including actress Ally Sheedy, who previously starred opposite Franco in a 2014 off-Broadway production.

Inspired by Adam Driver’s Beefy Bod in ‘The Last Jedi,’ Men Everywhere Are Taking the ‘Kylo Ren Challenge’
Hi. Hello. Welcome to 2018.
