Month: April 2018

All good things must come to an end, which for Netflix means a long list of movies and TV shows disappearing from its library each month. May is no different with some very good movies–and a bunch of Disney Channel fare–no longer being able to stream.

That means the remaining days of April are your last chance to stream films like Chappie, Casper, The Hurt Locker, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Also departing in May are Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Disney’s The Jungle Book, and all five seasons of The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

If someone in your house is a Disney Channel fan, they’ll also be losing access to the Camp Rock and High School Musical franchises, as well as Phineas and Ferb. Finally, the movie adaptation of the video game Silent Hill, Goodfellas, and Ocean’s Eleven will all disappear.

You can take a look at everything leaving Netflix below. Additionally, check out the list of movies and shows premiering on the streamer in May, as well as what it added in April.

Summer movie season may be starting in May, but Netflix is going out of its way to make sure you stayed glued to your couch. The streaming service has released its list of new additions for May, including a number of movies, TV shows, and originals to keep you busy.

Firstly, Disney/Pixar’s Coco will be added on May 29. If you somehow missed one of the studio’s best animated films ever, this will be your chance to watch and cry in the privacy of your own home. That’s always a better option than publicly weeping in a theater, right?

On the TV side, the latest seasons of some of the CW’s biggest shows will be added in April. Riverdale, Arrow, The Flash, Supernatural, and Dynasty will all end their current seasons, with them becoming available to stream a week later. Additionally, a new season of Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, along with a slew of other originals, will arrive throughout the month. Of note, the second half of The Toys That Made Us Season 1, the documentary series about famous toy lines, released on May 25.

To get an idea of everything coming on Netflix in May, take a look at the list below, and make sure you see what’s leaving the service. Additionally, if you missed what the streamer was up to in April, you can check that out.

Nothing shakes Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), not even the threat of wiping out the entire universe. At least, that’s the picture being painted in the latest clip from Avengers: Infinity War, which debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

In it, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) tells Tony everything he needs to know about Thanos (Josh Brolin), and none of it is good news. “He’s a plague, Tony. He invades planets, takes what he wants, and wipes out half of the population,” Banner tells his fellow Avenger. “He sent Loki. The attack on New York, that’s him.” In true Stark fashion, his only response is to mock the way Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) talks and wonder they can’t just stick the Infinity Stones he’s after “down the garbage disposal.”

The scene also includes an Easter egg that some fans might miss on their first viewing. Strange chastises Tony for leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos. While that already sounds like something he’d have in his Sanctum Sanctorum, it also has a history in Marvel Comics. The item appeared in issues of Man-Thing and Marvel Two-In-One, after first popping up in a 1981 installment of Marvel Team-up. It’s played for laughs in the trailer but is still exciting to see.

This situation is no laughing matter, though, and that’s something even Tony Stark understands. The threat Thanos poses is enough to draw together the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe of superheroes–which may or may not include Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Ant-Man (Paul Rudd)–as they fight to keep those stones away from the Mad Titan.

Whether the heroes are going to walk away victorious remains to be seen, but based on GameSpot’s Avengers: Infinity War review, this is certainly a movie that meets the hype. Luckily, you won’t have to wait long to find out yourself, as this next massive chapter in the MCU arrives in theaters on April 27.

Sony is developing a whole slate of movies based around characters from Marvel’s Spider-Man comic books, the first of which is Venom. The film stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, a journalist who is taken over by a vengeful alien symbiote, and the full trailer has been released–check out our breakdown.

While February’s first teaser just set the tone for the movie, this new trailer gives us more plot details and plenty of action. We see Brock investigating a sinister scientist, played by Rogue One‘s Riz Ahmed, who is performing secret experiments with a strange black alien matter. Brock becomes infected with the goo, which takes over his body and personality and gives him some amazing new powers. Check the trailer out above.

Venom releases on October 5, 2018, and also stars Michelle Williams (The Greatest Showman), Jenny Slate (The Lego Batman Movie), and Woody Harrelson (Solo: A Star Wars Story). Zombieland‘s Ruben Fleischer is directing.

Athough Spider-Man features in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony still owns the movie rights to the character. There was initially some confusion about whether Venom will be part of the MCU, and whether Spider-Man could appear in any of the spin-offs. Both Marvel boss Kevin Feige and Spidey actor Tom Holland have stated that the two universes are entirely separate. However, last year, former Sony boss and Spider-Man: Homecoming producer Amy Pascal suggested otherwise, before subsequently switching to Feige’s position.

Venom will be followed by another Spidey spin-off, Silver & Black, which will focus on Silver Sable and the Black Cat. The film was originally set for release in February 2019, but earlier this year director Gina Prince-Bythewood confirmed that the movie had been delayed because she was “still working on the script.”
