Imagine Matthew McConaughey as Bruce Banner. The guy who crushed it in Magic Mike and won an Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club almost played the Hulk. But Marvel didn’t have it. He spilled the rejection on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, saying, “Wanted it.” He threw his hat in the ring, but Marvel passed with a “No, thank you.” Ouch.
By the time the MCU hit, McConaughey was at the top of his game—A Time to Kill, rom-coms, then the “McConaissance” in Magic Mike, Killer Joe, and Interstellar. With superhero films everywhere, he thought, why not him?
McConaughey’s love for the Hulk goes back to the classic The Incredible Hulk TV show. So when Marvel was casting, he figured he was the guy. But nope. Marvel went with Edward Norton in The Incredible Hulk (2008), and by The Avengers (2012), Mark Ruffalo was the one smashing it.

Humphrey Bogart's portrayal in The Big Sleep remains the iconic standard for Philip Marlowe movies, capturing the essence of classic film noir. Marlowe in The Big Sleep embodies the quintessential hard-boiled detective, with wit, charm, and a morally ambiguous femme fatale. Bogart's performance set the bar high for future portrayals of Marlowe, cementing his place as an enduring figure in the history of cinema.
The hard-boiled detective Philip Marlowe was among the most famous private investigators in cinema and has been portrayed in several acclaimed movies over the years. As a hard-drinking, no-nonsense, wise-cracking detective, Marlowe was created by the writer Raymond Chandler and versions of him appeared in short stories, novels, and a dozen feature films. Marlowe first gained prominence in the film noirs of the 1940s but has since maintained an important place in popular culture and has been continually reimagined and revived for new audiences by acclaimed writers,...

Matthew McConaughey’s critically acclaimed role in True Detective ended up being one of his most memorable to date. Still, McConaughey would’ve walked away from the character and the show if he had to sign on for more than a season.

McConaughey knew he wanted to be a part of True Detective after just reading a portion of the show’s script. Two episodes were all it took for the actor to dive into HBO’s dark criminal underworld.
“I read those first two episodes, and the quality was so apparent, and had such an identity to it that even without reading the final six episodes, I felt this was going to be hard to screw up. The voices were so clear, if the writer just stays on this path, it...

Cable, a key character in the X-Men universe, will be leading the original X-Men team in a new comic storyline called "First Contact" created by Rob Liefeld. This storyline suggests that Cable will be making his first trip to the past, potentially explaining why the X-Men accept him as their leader. The team will have a more aggressive and action-ready appearance with Cable at the helm. In addition to "First Contact," Liefeld will also be working on a comic featuring Major X, another character he created. While both comics are highly anticipated, "First Contact" is expected to showcase the original X-Men in a uniquely hardcore way.
The original five X-Men laid the groundwork for the many generations that would follow, including the very existence of Nathaniel Summers aka Cable, and now, in a new secret project by Rob Liefeld that was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2023, it seems Cable will...

Set in Bay Cities, California, in the ’50s, Marlowe follows a “tough as nails private detective” as he investigates the disappearance of a beautiful heiress’ ex-lover. But the more he digs into the case, the more he realizes the spider’s web has spun far larger than he originally thought.

In 1975, Jaws made moviegoers afraid to go in the water. Then, in 2013, Sharknado came along and probably forced a small percentage of people to fear the outdoors as a whole, lest a rogue shark actually slaughter them on their front lawn.
In the time since, four sequels have followed suit, each upping the level of absurdity and featuring a boatload of unexpected celebrity cameos, with everyone from weatherman extraordinaire Al Roker to Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor appearing in small roles. And when factoring all that in, it leaves little room to wonder why this franchise has become the crown jewel in the SyFy network’s proud line of original B-movies, the likes of which have included gems such as Sharktopus and the timeless classic Mega Croc vs. Gatoroid.
But as long as people keep tuning in, the sequels will keep on coming. Or at least, that’s what we thought...
