Given the new world order introduced in its latest blockbuster, there are only hints of what’s to come in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Perhaps stealing a page from its theme park division, Universal took attendees on a wild ride, bookended by that duo, during its CinemaCon presentation Wednesday at Caesars Palace.
Despite “Avengers: Infinity War’s” record-shattering debut having been moved out of summer — because even a world in which Christmas decorations hit stores the day after Labor Day holds its ground on referring to April 27 as “summer” — there are still plenty of blockbusters to look forward to over the next few months.
May 4, aka Star Wars Day, has become a Lucasfilm-backed celebration of all things from that galaxy far, far away. Not surprisingly, quite a few other pop-culture “holidays” have sprung up in its wake.
Amid all the awful news out of Hollywood in recent months, host Jimmy Kimmel has his work cut out for him in trying to create a fun atmosphere at the 90th Oscars.
The best thing about “Kidnap,” aside from its almost preposterously brief 82-minute running time? The car that the kidnappers use is an unmistakable Mustang hatchback beater that they’ve hilariously, misguidedly equipped with a front-end bra.

Gibson was being kept away from the movie — about Army medic Desmond Doss’ rescue of 75 men during World War II despite his refusal to carry a gun — as though he were the subject of yet another restraining order.
You wouldn’t think injecting a little magic into the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be that big of a deal. But you’d be wrong. So very, very wrong.
It’s one of the year’s most-anticipated releases, and yet the general public knows almost nothing about the characters of the supervillain team in “Suicide Squad.”
While The Stones continue to sound relevant and most of The Beatles’ songbook still flows perfectly out of Paul McCartney, there’s something inherently creepy about a bunch of septuagenarians singing about teenage girls in bikinis.
Sure, the whole thing makes zero sense. If it were possible to make negative sense, this latest sequel would do just that. But if nothing else, “Furious 7” gives fans exactly what they want.
In the hands of novelist/screenwriter Gillian Flynn and director David Fincher, “Gone Girl’ is so full of first-rate shockers the fact that its oft-maligned co-star Tyler Perry is actually quite good barely cracks the top five.
