‘Thor: Ragnarok’ and ‘Justice League’ Are Fandango Users’ Most Anticipated Fall Movies
It won’t be hard for this fall to beat the worst summer box office in more than ten years, but it’s gearing up to blow the past few months out of the water. Fall — that is, Thanksgiving, a.k.a. all-the-kids-are-home-from-school-and-looking-for-something-to-do season — is almost upon us, and with it come some of the most exciting blockbusters of the year. And it’s Marvel vs. DC yet again as two superhero movies vie for the top spot.
‘Gaga: Five Foot Two’ Teaser: Inside the Life of One of Pop’s Most Unpredictable Artists
Lady Gaga has always been something of an enigma: from meat dresses to giant eggs to killing it at the Super Bowl, it’s impossible to predict what kind of inspired nonsense the artist will get up to next. A new documentary from Emmy-nominated Chris Moukarbel (Banksy Does New York, Me at the Zoo) attempts to give the viewer an inside look into Gaga’s life, from trips to the store to football games on her journey to create her most recent album Joanne.
Ron Howard Teases ‘Intense and Cool Action Scene’ in New ‘Han Solo’ Set Photo
Another day, another tweet from Ron Howard on the set of the untitled Han Solo movie. This time, we get to see some actual footage! Well, not really.

James Wan Describes ‘Aquaman’ as Like ‘Star Wars Underwater’
James Wan’s Aquaman hasn’t been plagued with any weird rumors or high-profile exits so far, and actually seems to be going, well, swimmingly. Wan has described the shoot as “super complicated,” even out of the water, but Aquaman seems to be in a league of its own. Which may be because it’s in practically a different world from the rest of the DCEU — or, as Wan apparently described it on set, “Star Wars underwater.”
Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves Reuniting for Rom-Com ‘Destination Wedding’
Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are kind of the alt version of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet: you know they’re not together, but they’ve appeared as co-stars often enough that you kinda ship them, just a little bit. If that’s you, good news: Reeves and Ryder, last seen together in Richard Linklater’s A Scanner Darkly, are reuniting once again for romantic comedy Destination Wedding.

Two New ‘Last Jedi’ Vehicles Revealed, Plus Now We Know What the Porgs Will Sound Like

Robert De Niro Explains Why Netflix Is ‘The Irishman’s Ideal Home
Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman is the kind of ambitious picture that regular studios would side-eye: an epic spanning decades and employing de-aging technology to make its stars look younger based on where a scene falls in the film’s timeline. Paramount had its eye on the project before Netflix made Scorsese a better deal, and while a lot of people are side-eyeing Netflix’s model — especially when it comes to their relationship with brick-and-mortar movie theaters (or lack thereof) — Robert De Niro says the funding Netflix offered for the project made it their best option.
