Is Zendaya hinting at a major twist in No Way Home?

While football celebrated its night of nights and Leo Messi’s 7th Ballon d’Or, it was Spider-Man and Dune star Zendaya who stole the internet’s attention with a spectacular dress. 

The feature of Zendaya’s dress was a peculiar golden spine, reminiscent of her Spider-Man: No Way Home co-star Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock.

Sexual assault allegations against Ansel Elgort resurface with ‘West Side Story’ coming soon

Sexual assault allegations against Ansel Elgort resurface with ‘West Side Story’ coming soon

While many are excited to see the new West Side Story hit theaters soon, it seems that there is an equally large number of moviegoers upset that Ansel Elgort is still involved in the film. Many took to Twitter after Elgort appeared at a red carpet event for the film alongside his current girlfriend to express their outrage that he is still being featured despite previous accusations of sexual assault against him.

Back in June 2020, a Twitter user named @Itsgabby posted a since-deleted text note alleging that Elgort sexually assaulted her a couple of days after she turned seventeen. She claimed that Elgort was twenty years old at the time of the assault.

At one point in our lives, most of us have considered the idea of cloning. Not realistically, but when we’ve been sick and wished to abandon work or school or known that a dinner may lead to awkward conversation, a clone would sure come in handy.

The ethics of cloning have been mined for entertainment for years, from cartoon films and sci-fi movies to horror.

‘Scream’ director hints at possible sequel plans

‘Scream’ director hints at possible sequel plans

The Scream franchise is an integral part of the horror genre for many fans, ourselves included. We love the films and the pop culture realm that was born of them.

Many slasher fans feel the same way, with Ghostface being an icon of the genre. From the first to don the mask to the most recent, the killers are always surprising, driven by some pretty twisted motives, and eerily manipulative. With Scream on the horizon, fans are more excited than ever to return to the realm and see what’s next for Woodsboro residents, especially those coming face to face with Mr. Ghostface himself.

James Gunn shares the creation process of ‘Guardians 2’ laser drill

Marvel director James Gunn is well known on social media for his behind-the-scenes morsels of some of his films, so it should be no surprise we’re getting a heaping pile of left overs following the bountiful feast of his 2017 film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 the week after Thanksgiving.

Gunn took to Twitter Tuesday to share the early stages of the designs for the Laser Drill used in the film, which if you’ll remember, our spacefaring heroes used near the climax of the movie to drill a hole in the malevolent Celestial and the father of Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill, Ego (Kurt Russell).

Taika Waititi’s math skills called into question over viral equation

Taika Waititi’s math skills called into question over viral equation

Over here at We Got This Covered, we adore the films of Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi for bringing his singular vision both behind the lens and on the page in movies such as the Academy Award-winning film Jojo Rabbit, which displayed in equal parts the seminal writing and directing talent that has characterized his career.

Though he may arguably be a master in the creative arts, the Marvel director may not be as sharp when it comes to math. At least, that’s what you would gather by viewing from a casual eye a Tweet he authored Tuesday where he seemingly couldn’t make heads or tails of a viral math equation.
