Fantastic Four First Steps - A New Leap for Marvel

One of the most anticipated MCU movies in recent years, Fantastic Four First Steps had high expectations being called Marvel’s first family. Though there are also fears that it will receive bad reviews like its predecessors, this new adaptation of Fantastic Four got me excited for the new phase of the MCU. 

With so many adaptations and universes, finally Marvel has found the sweet spot for the new Fantastic Four First Steps. Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic has now the dilemma of being a hero and father. Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman is indeed a mother in this movie and also very empowered because of this, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm is elevated to step up as a hero we never expected him to be. And Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing has charisma and talent that also comes as a surprise.

At the ongoing Philippine Game Development Expo (PGDX), a new platform is making its public debut with an ambitious goal: to give gaming creators a legitimate, scalable way to earn revenue through their own digital storefronts.

It’s time creators had real infrastructure and not just short-term deals.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. return as the 1997 Southport Massacre survivors Julie James and Ray Bronson in I Know What You Did Last Summer

The highly anticipated follow-up to the iconic 1997 slasher film, I Know What You Did Last Summer, sees the return of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., back in the fray with their career-launching roles of Julie James and Ray Bronson. 

For director and writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, having the two original actors was critical to the next installment of the franchise. “Working with Freddie and Jen was amazing,” says Robinson. “It was important to me to make sure that both of their stories felt like a continuation. We wanted to know, how would something like this affect them 27 years later? Who would they become, and how will that inform how they advise and help this younger group?”
