The G.I. Joe and Transformers film franchises are finally going to meet, and they’re bringing a huge start with them. Variety reports that Chris Hemsworth of Marvel and Furiosa fame is “in talks” to star in the upcoming crossover G.I. Joe/Transformers film. Hemsworth will soon appear as the voice of the young Optimus Prime in this year’s animated Transformers movie, Transformers One. (No word yet whether Hemsworth is voicing Optimus Prime in the film or playing some other character. Peter Cullen, who voiced Optimus on the original Transformers cartoon series of the 1980s, has provided Optimus’...

The following post contains SPOILERS for the end of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, should you choose to witness them. Prequels don’t usually end with mysteries. They exist to explain; to illuminate the backstories and secrets of characters and events from other movies. In the case of George Miller’s Furiosa, the film reveals more than a decade of tragedy and pain in the life of the title character, who was introduced in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road as a haunted survivor (played by Charlize Theron) who wants to escape the clutches of her future’s brutal dictator, Immortan Joe. Where did this woman come ...

There is an old saying about prequels: If the material in them had been genuinely important in the first place it would have been part of the original film. By their very nature, prequels are narratively superfluous. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga certainly is — although it also proves quite conclusively that a film can be narratively superfluous, viscerally exciting, imaginatively designed, and sick as hell all at once. For two and a half hours, the movie unfurls the tragic early years of the true hero of 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road: Imperator Furiosa. Decades in the making, but spanning just a couple...

Chris Hemsworth is one of the longest-tenured members of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point. The only original Avengers left standing besides him in 2024 are Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye, Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk (who hasn’t been around as long as Hemsworth’s Thor), and Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury. While the first couple Thors weren’t exactly massive hits, they did respectable business. And then with the Avengers movies and especially Thor: Ragnarok, Hemsworth really came into his own as a comic leading man. (No pun intended.) Those films brought him a ton of praise and attention, and really ...

The latest Transformers movie will look very different. Instead of live-action, the franchise is going back to its roots in animation. And it’s going back to its roots narratively as well, as Transformers One is an origin story for the Transformers, revealing how they became robots in disguise and more than meets the eye and various other catchphrases. The film is set so far back in the characters’ backstories, in fact, that Optimus Prime and Megatron aren’t even called that yet; they’re going by the names Orion Pax and D-16. They’re not enemies either; they’re buddies. And neither one can tra...

The next Transformers movie is launching its promotional campaign in an extremely literal way: The first trailer for the movie will supposedly debut in space. Truth be told, I do not fully understand what that means. (Hopefully I do not have to go to space to watch it; I specifically became a film critic because I was promised that this job meant I would never under any circumstances have to go into space.) But according to the press release, the upcoming Transformers One — an animated origin movie for the Transformers franchise — will “launch in space.” The show will begin online this Thursda...
