10 A-List Actors You Forgot Were in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Matthew Shepherd with ten A-list stars you probably forgot were in the MCU… The MCU has employed what feels like half of Hollywood over the past two decades. Most of the time the casting makes sense — a known face in a known role, building toward something larger. But occasionally a genuinely surprising name shows up in a minor part, stays for five minutes, and quietly disappears into franchise history. Some were early-career cameos before the star’s moment arrived. Others were established names

Matthew Shepherd with ten Star Wars characters who deserve their own Disney+ series… The best thing Disney has done with Star Wars is get it away from the Skywalker saga.

Matthew Shepherd on the 2017 Jo Nesbo adaptation The Snowman… Most directors, when their film is failing with critics before it has even opened wide, say nothing. They give a carefully worded statement about artistic vision, defer to the audience, and wait for the conversation to move on. Tomas Alfredson did not do that. In an interview with Norwegian broadcaster NRK, published before The Snowman had reached American theatres, the director of Let the Right One In and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy ex
The Movie Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence Would Rather You Forget (opens the original)

Matthew Shepherd revisits Susanne Bier’s Serena starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence… Bradley Cooper rarely talks about Serena. Jennifer Lawrence does not either. This felt odd until learning more about it, now it makes a lore more sense. In early 2012, the two of them filmed a Depression-era period drama in the Czech Republic directed by Oscar-winning Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier, based on a critically acclaimed novel by Ron Rash, for a budget of $25 to $30 million. It was, on paper,
