The company’s CEO said the company had made a deliberate decision to focus on fighting a recent SEC ruling… Kik first launched Kin in 2017 with an initial coin offering (ICO) raising $98 million of a $125 million target.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige says The Avengers writer-director Joss Whedon tipped him off before his announcement about moving over to DC to make Batgirl. It was no doubt a shot heard ‘round the cinematic world last month when Whedon rocked the MCU faithful with the news he was going to write, direct and produce Batgirl as a standalone movie for the DCEU. On one hand, fans weren’t surprised at Whedon’s choice to develop Batgirl, given that he’s fostering strong female characters on both the small and big screens many times before; the real shock came from the fact that he was doing a film for Marvel’s chief competitor....

One face fans should not expect to make an appearance in the Arrowverse’s hotly-anticipated “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover is that of Krypton star Cameron Cuffe. The British-born actor played Superman’s grandfather, Seg-El on SYFY’s DC prequel series. Despite the heavy dose of skepticism surrounding the premise, the show earned positive reviews and impressive ratings when it debuted in 2018.

Jojo Rabbit thrives as both an intrepid satire and a sincere coming of age dramedy, seamlessly blending wacky humor with genuine heartbreak. Despite what Disney and Fox Searchlight’s trailer marketing might lead you to believe, Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit is neither the quirky New Zealander’s riff on Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator, nor the feature-length version of Mel Brooks’ fake “Springtime for Hitler” musical from The Producers. Rather, it’s another rich piece of happy/sad cinema (e....
