My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission will debut in theaters on Oct. 29.

By now, fans should know the drill about a new My Hero Academia movie. No matter how exciting or surprising it is, it has zero repercussions for the larger story and is forgotten as soon as the next episode airs. Still, World Heroes' Mission out-Marvels the MCU in terms of heart and even visuals, with some of the best and most visually stunning moments not only in the franchise, but superhero film as a whole. Make no mistake, this is not a newbie-friendly movie, but if you are a fan of My Hero Academia, this is a crowning cinematic achievement for the popular franchise worthy of the biggest screen possible.

In a world where 80% of the population has a superpower, we finally get an anti-quirk villainous group, with the Humarize planning to target heroes with bombs that disperse a venomous gas that only kills those with powers because they believe Quirks will cause a doomsday. In the middle of this, we find Izuku Midoriya, who is on the run after being mistakenly accused of mass murder and has to avoid both the cops and the terrorist group while trying to stop them from killing all pro-heroes.

From the start, World Heroes' Mission uses its villains to embark on a darker journey that challenges its view on heroes and quirks, elevating it beyond just a side story and basically entering X-Men territory — specifically X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills, which served as the main inspiration for X2. Humarize works because they go against the show's usual positivity in regards to quirks and superpowers. There are even a few villains with powers in the terrorist group, adding to the ideological threat they pose — the belief that quirks are inherently a mistake. It also helps that the villains reside in a H.R. Giger-esque lair.

My Hero Academia creator Kōhei Horikoshi is widely known as a fan of Marvel comics, and nowhere is that more evident than in the way World Heroes' Mission captures the heart of early Stan Lee and Steve Ditko Spider-Man comics. That’s not only due to Deku's new slinging power, but mostly in the film's grounded approach to character, and its sheer optimism in the face of great stakes. Also like Silver Age comics, the film introduces several heroes with ridiculous yet delightful quirks, like the return of Godzillo, the kaiju hero, or a hero with the power of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Where World Heroes' Mission really excels is in its visuals. Yutaka Nakamura's impact animation shines through, with some of the most hard-hitting, grounded, and fluid animated fight sequences of the year. There's even a scene storyboarded to emulate a long take that shows how much the superhero genre thrives in animation. The camera is constantly moving, flying between punches and rotating around our heroes in intricate sequences, as the fights match the stakes of the story with a surprising amount of blood and serious injuries. We also get Deku at his most powerful since his fight versus Overhaul. This culminates in a new ultimate power that's a moment of pure fan service as roaring as seeing Captain America pick up Mjølnir.

Still, no matter how exciting or entertaining the film is, it cannot escape the fact that it's designed to work as a standalone movie, isolated from the canon. As high as the stakes get, there are no consequences for the future of the franchise, making it all less impactful. It’s also frustrating since the current villains of the show are nowhere near as intimidating as a group that places bombs all over the world that can instantly kill all the heroes.

My Hero Academia World Heroes' Mission represents the best and the worst of the franchise's cinematic output: it's gorgeous to look at, offers fantastic moments of fan service that work wonders on the big screen, and soaring high stakes that make for a thrilling experience that is ultimately, well, kind of meaningless since it's not technically canon. If you expect this to be an important chapter in the larger story of Deku, you’ll be disappointed, but if you get over that fact, this is My Hero Academia at its most exhilarating and fun.

This is an advance, spoiler-free review of Marvel's Eternals. The film premieres Nov. 5, 2021.

Eternals is sprawling — across scenery, across centuries, you name it. Director Chloé Zhao’s immortal epic dances across timelines and alliances with ease. Though, despite the spectacle of it all, the latest Marvel film falls victim to the old “just because you can doesn’t mean you should” in some areas. The depth of the story is coupled with the huge, sweeping landscapes that Zhao is known for, but when you’re focusing on such a huge, overarching story with an already impressive runtime, breathtaking but otherwise time-consuming nature shots can start to feel like a bit of a chore.

The story follows ten immortal beings throughout Earth’s history as they fight to protect the planet from the Deviants (they’re basically large, cranky, tentacle-y murder monsters, for those unfamiliar). Sersi, Ikaris, Kingo, Sprite, Phastos, Makkari, Druig, Thena, and Gilgamesh all follow their leader, Ajak, on their mission to serve the celestial Arishem. Each Eternal has their own unique powerset and, as you can imagine, their own special interpersonal drama within their complicated little family. While they don’t all get the same amount of screentime, you can imagine how tall of an order this film was by the main cast size alone. It’s joked that the team was the original Avengers a couple times in Eternals, which really helps drive home the wide arc that the story is trying to accomplish. The team of immortals may be interwoven in a way that you can’t really tell their origins individually, but imagine going into the first Avengers with no prior introduction to the team. That’s the insane task Zhao was given.

By and large, she rises to meet that challenge. We’re given a good grasp on the temperament and motivations of each of the ten with limited story bloat. If there’s an area where the team dynamic fails, it’s in the immortality of it all. Grave sins are committed throughout the story, all of which seem to be quickly forgiven and forgotten. This is likely to illustrate that holding a grudge gets boring after being alive for several centuries, but it gives their internal conflict less emotional impact.

Much of our time is spent with Sersi (Gemma Chan), Sprite (Lia McHugh), and Ikarus (Richard Madden), and the rest of the screen time is mostly balanced between the remaining seven Eternals. This is the most diverse cast in Marvel Studios history. That fact is exciting in and of itself, but one of the most fun aspects of the film is that you could be in a room full of ten people and each one of them could easily answer with a different favorite member of the team both from character and performance perspectives, as they’re all so vastly distinct with their own specific qualities. Thena (Angelina Jolie) filled that role for me, but it could have easily gone to Gilgamesh (Ma Dong-seok) or Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani) as well.

A not insignificant aside to the performance conversation is Disney and Marvel’s repeat offenses when it comes to queerness in their films. Eternals is the latest in a long list of Disney-related properties with the promise of queer representation, and we’re all tired. But this one’s gay! Actually, this time. For real. Brian Tyree Henry’s Phastos is a lovely, developed character with a real life and a loving family. The bar for the franchise’s LGBTQ representation is on the floor, and we’re not here to outline the exact happenings for spoiler reasons, but trust that this time the claims of a gay character is actually true. Better still, you can expect to be surprised by the intimacy of Zhao’s Eternals on multiple levels.

Eternals’ success as a film can almost entirely be attributed to the performances and relationships between characters. Their conflict and complicated connection to the human race makes for incredibly interesting subject matter. The grand scale of the galactic aspects of the story catches up quick, though. Once things shift past the Deviants and become more of a Celestial struggle, the story starts to rip at the seams. The problem is that it feels like there was truly no way for Zhao to succeed here. Scrapping some of her trademark grand landscape shots wouldn’t have made enough time for her to be able to connect us to these characters and give us the kind of grand finale that Marvel films are known for. Conversely, had their story been split into two films, the first one would have been called incomplete (not to mention the three-year gap that would have followed due to the MCU’s packed slate). An irresistible force meets an immovable object, and the collision results in what feels like superficial sparks.

In the end, these complicated gods feel like the most human of Marvel’s heroes. Perhaps it’s the diversity of their team, or their messy, messy, relationships. Either way, the humanity of it all has a real impact here. Karun (Harish Patel) — Kingo’s manager and the human we spend the most time with in the film — fits right in because they’re flawed in the exact same ways humanity is flawed. Also because he is incomparably brilliant and one of Eternals’ brightest spots, but that’s beside the point entirely!

Dune has not only won the weekend domestic box office with ticket sales of $40.1 million, but it also set a pandemic record for Warner Bros. for the biggest three-day opening since the company started its day-and-date strategy on HBO Max.

Dune's $40.1 million was enough to surpass Godzilla vs. Kong's then-pandemic record of $31 million. Even though its performance wasn't enough to surpass the openings of other films like No Time to Die, it's important to remember that the 25th James Bond film was released exclusively in theaters while Dune is available in theaters and to all HBO Max subscribers for no extra cost.

For another comparison, however, Dune was a far cry away from Black Widow's $80 million when it was released in theaters in July. Black Widow also earned another $60 million on Disney+ via those who paid an extra $29.99 USD to unlock it with Premier Access.

The big question on everybody's minds will be if this box office debut will be enough to warrant a sequel. Ann Sarnoff, WarnerMedia CEO of Studios and Network did hint to Deadline that, despite it not yet being green lit, Dune: Part 2 should be on its way.

"Will we have a sequel to Dune? If you watch the movie, you see how it ends. I think you pretty much know the answer to that,” she said.

Variety notes that Dune had a budget of $165 million, and it has already earned that back when taking its international total into account. This weekend, Dune added another $47.4 million to its international tally which is now sitting at $180.6 million. Its global total now stands at $220.7 million.

Halloween Kills placed second with ticket sales of $14 million, which is a 71% drop from its opening last weekend with ticket sales of $50.4 million. Halloween Kills' total domestic run has surpassed $73 million and it has easily earned back its $20 million budget.

No Time to Die placed third with $11.8 million, bringing its domestic total to $120 million, and Venom: Let There Be Carnage won fourth place with $9.1 million, bringing its total to $181 million. Dinsey's Ron's Gone Wrong opened to ticket sales of $7.3 million and a fifth-place spot.

Sources have revealed that Ryan Gosling is in final negotiations to play Ken in Barbie, the upcoming film that is based on the iconic doll line from Mattel and stars Margot Robbie in the titular role.

As reported by Deadline, Gosling had initially passed on the role, but "insiders add that as pre-production dragged out and the studio remained persistent with him being their only choice, an opening in his schedule appeared, allowing him to sign on."

Deadline also notes that this casting was one of the final pieces in the puzzle and that "the hope would be to shoot at the top of 2022."

Barbie will be directed by Lady Bird and Little Women director Greta Gerwig, and she will also be co-writing the script alongside Marriage Story's Noah Baumbach.

Robbie was the one who casually revealed that Gerwig would be directing the film while also mentioning that a project like this comes "with a lot of baggage."

"Right, it comes with a lot of baggage! And a lot of nostalgic connections," Robbie told Variety. "But with that comes a lot of exciting ways to attack it. People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,’ and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ’Oh, well, maybe I don’t…’”

Barbie has a planned 2023 theatrical release and Robbie will be producing the film with her LuckyChap Entertainment production banner. This film, which is now under WB's umbrella, was once set to be released by Sony and had both Amy Schumer and Anne Hathaway attached to star at various points in its development.
