The Skrulls Could Appear In The Marvel Cinematic Universe Before they rolled the dice and went it on their own withJon Favreau’sIron Man, Marvel made some crappy deals with other movie studios which to this day prevent a large chunk of their characters from appearing in the now Disney-produced Marvel Cinematic Universe. The most obvious areSpider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Deadpool, andSpider-Man(Marvel famously made a deal with Sony toproduceSpider-Man: Homecoming, allowing Peter Parker to be part of the MCU)....

This Week In Trailers: A Toy Store Near You, The Last Blockbuster, The Deeper You Dig, Clementine, Patton Oswalt: I Love Everything Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect.

Watch A ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Deleted Scene That Tackled Racism, Obnoxious Tourists Like most Hollywood studios, Disney catches a lot of flack for its lack of diversity and its less than delicate handling of racial issues. And while much of the criticism is deserved, a deleted scene that’s been making the rounds suggests that the Mouse House isn’t always completely clueless when it comes to that touchy topic. The recently surfaced clip from 2002’sLilo & Stitchdeals with racial matters and the obnoxiousness of tourists — to be more specific, the tendency of visitors to exoticize non-white locals....
