Marvel fans have a lot of questions about, particularly about the filming locations and the filming timeline. Here is what you need to know about the filming location and filming time of the newly released MCU series.

MultiVersus has published a new tweet, and some players are now thinking about Barbie's possible appearance in the game. After a long wait, MultiVersus is finally coming back on May 28. Players are looking forward to what Warner Bros. Interactive's fighting game has in store after enjoying a good reception during the beta.

has been a fan-favorite choice for various roles in superhero movies in the past, but recent comments seem to suggest the actress has no desire to ever join the MCU.

Kristen Stewart has no interest in doing a Marvel movie...unless one director asks her to.

Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey remains one of the greatest space movies, even as we approach the 55th birthday of its theatrical debut. It’s awe-inspiring, full of clever practical effects. It’s also terrifying, both for its disturbing vision of the great unknown and for showcasing the perils of naughty AI that knows too much, decades before it was something anyone truly had to think about. Maybe you’ve seen this film countless times already, or you’re intrigued after seeing the cheeky, yet heavy-handed references to the film in the opening sequence of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

With the motto “You can be anything,” Barbie dolls became an intrinsic part of childhood for multiple generations. Now the Super Mario franchise is taking a page from Barbie’s playbook and giving Princess Peach her own dress-up adventure.

A movie adaptation of The Sims is under way, with Margot Robbie's production company LuckyChap set to produce.

There’s going to be a movie based The Sims, according to The Hollywood Reporter — and based on the people involved in producing and directing it, it’s worth taking pretty seriously.

The Dark Knight was absolutely snubbed for a Best Picture nomination back in 2009, but oh well, at least the Academy Awards wised up on Christopher Nolan. On Sunday night, the purveyor of big-screen entertainment finally won his Oscar for directing the hell out of Oppenheimer. The biopic, which picked up awards throughout the night, was well-positioned going into the ceremony while Nolan’s directing win was anticipated by fans and awards prognosticators alike. But the win was a long time coming for a director who has gone surprisingly overlooked by the industry.

Dataminers have apparently uncovered the developer behind Princess Peach: Showtime, even as Nintendo continues its very strange pattern of refusing to announce who's behind its games ahead of launch.

Noah Baumbach's new Netflix movie has a stacked, A-list cast – and we can't wait.

There is a new Barbie mobile game on the way, and it will be released relatively quickly. Fans of the 2023 movie may have something to look forward to, along with fans of the Barbie brand altogether. Zynga-owned developer Rollic is attached. Last July, Greta Gerwig's Barbie went on to make $1.4 billion. It is easy to understand why Mattel wants to capitalize on the success of Barbie, as the movie appears to have revitalized interest in the Barbie, and Mattel brands and there is plenty of material to draw from.

The winner in the Oscar nominations race Tuesday after a bruising year for the film industry was “Oppenheimer” with 13 nods, followed by the otherworldly “Poor Things” with 11 and the period epic “Killers of the Flower Moon” with 10 and yes, Barbie was there too. 2023 was marred by strikes and work stoppages for the cinema world, throwing production and release schedules into chaos. Looking to catch up ahead of the Academy Awards on March 10? Here's how (and where) to watch Oscar-nominated films online:

A Minecraft player online has shared strange footage of a glitch that appears to periodically turn their world into a Barbie land. Short of an official Barbie crossover for Minecraft, this bug is the next best thing at the moment.

In the year that Greta Gerwig and the Mattel corporation got a postmodern comedy movie about Barbie dolls nominated for Best Picture, here’s another tribute to a famous Mattel toy line that’s maybe a little less sophisticated but, in its own way, no less genuine or self-aware. Masters of the Universe: Revolution, a five-part animated special on Netflix, is an enjoyably over-the-top celebration of the kitschy 1980s action figures.

The full list of nominees for the upcoming 96th annual Academy Awards was officially announced this morning, Tuesday, January 23, 2024.

The Oscar nominations are in, and there’s something missing from the Best Director and Best Picture nominees — or is there? None of us at Polygon quite expected Barbie to make it, nor Greta Gerwig to snag a Best Director nom, but… should she have? And why not?

2024 might be the Academy Awards’ biggest year in ages. The Oscar nominations, set for announcement on Tuesday, Jan. 23, are primed to honor highly regarded films from around the world, performances that premiered in theaters and on streaming, and a few of the biggest movies of the year — including the Barbenheimer double feature of Oppenheimerand Barbie. It’s been a slow crawl back from the hazy pandemic era where movies that kinda sorta came out in time won Best Picture, but here we are, with a set of nomations that stands to be both predictable and electrifying.

Succession and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer were the biggest winners at the 2024 Golden Globes awards, which felt a little predictable given how thoroughly they dominated their respective categories — particularly the acting categories, which in a couple of different cases had three Succession performers dueling for the top spot. Greta Gerwig’s Barbie didn’t fare as well in the mix, even though it was nominated in many of the categories — ultimately, it only walked away with Best Original Song and the “Cinematic And Box Office Achievement” award.

ABC's multi-city New Year's Eve special and new music from the K-pop act TVXQ are some of the new television, movies and music headed to a device near you.

One of 2023’s biggest cinema trends was the way accomplished filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Greta Gerwig, Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan, and many more delivered some of the most creatively and commercially successful work of their careers. There was just something in the air this year, as one major artist after another took big swings that connected.

has released a new Christmas-themed “I’m Just Ken” music video that’s more than Kenough to get you through the holidays.

You can’t get Kenough Barbie, right? Well, at least that’s what Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson are hoping as a new version of 'I’m Just Ken' is landing this Christmas season.

The Golden Globes 2024 nominations were revealed last night, with Greta Gerwig's feminist candy-coated romp Barbie, which dominated the box office charts this year, leading the pack. It's got a whopping 10 nominations, including one for Best Musical or Comedy, alongside acting nods for stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling (supporting). The awards show has also added two new categories to recognise the best in entertainment, starting with a ‘Cinematic and Box Office Achievement' category, which honours the biggest movies of the year, having grossed $150 million (about Rs. 1,250 crore) minimum, of which $100 million must be from within the US. Eight nominees compete for that award, including Barbie, Oppenheimer, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Greta Gerwig isn’t ruling out a Ken-focused Barbie spin-off just yet. Speaking in a new interview, the director shared how they had so much content for Ryan Gosling’s Ken that they didn’t end up using in the final movie.

Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies says Ncuti Gatwa's upcoming Christmas special is a complete reinvention of the show, and that we're heading into a brand new era.

The digital and 4K Blu-ray release date for Christopher Nolan’s has been revealed.

Barbie director Greta Gerwig is already working on her next movie – and it sounds like it's seriously stressing her out. 

Martin Scorsese has doubled down on his comic book movie comments, this time taking them to the next level.

Tunes from Dan & Shay and Vic Mensa plus a genre-blending Hulu series “The Other Black Girl” set inside the world of publishing are some of the new television, movies, music and games headed to a device near you

Happy Friday, Polygon readers!

A little way into the movie Gran Turismo, the unlikely brand extension of Sony’s sim racing games accidentally satirizes itself. “This whole thing is a marketing extravaganza!” excitable auto executive Danny Moore (Orlando Bloom) shouts at salty racing coach Jack Salter (David Harbour). They’re aboard a helicopter wheeling above a racetrack, where Salter’s students in the GT Academy — a real-life program intended to turn players of Sony’s Gran Turismo games into actual racing drivers — are being put through their paces. The helicopter is an absurd bit of theater for the TV cameras, and Salter knows it. But he’s powerless to resist the marketing apparatus around him.

It seems ironic that after months of fuss over Oppenheimer’s too-brief (and eventually extended) window in IMAX theaters, and the question of who was going to get to see it in “true” IMAX and who would have to settle for various forms of “LieMAX,” the other half of the Barbenheimer pairing is now sliding in to take over where Oppenheimer left off. Warner Bros. announced Thursday that Greta Gerwig’s Barbie will play in IMAX theaters for one week starting on Sept. 22 — now with “additional, never-before-seen post-credit footage.”

In a repeat from the last four weeks, Barbie remained atop the domestic box office, taking in $33 million (-36%) in its fourth weekend to bring its total to a massive $526.3M and $1.183B worldwide, per Deadline. That’s just phenomenal for the Greta Gerwig-directed pic, which is now less than $200M away from overtaking The Super Mario Bros. Movie as the No. 1 grossing film of 2023.

Long-running animated series South Park has been blessed with two surprisingly good RPGs, the Stick Of Truth and the Fractured But Whole, which both accurately recreated the TV show's art style. The newly announced South Park: Snow Day is taking a different approach, rendering Cartman and its world in 3D for a four-player co-op action game. It's also being developed by first-person indie darlings Question. You'll find the trailer below.

We now know where Greta Gerwig's Barbie Land would be located in the real world – and science says it wouldn't be California.

Barbie has now made $1 billion at the box office – and there's no sequel on the horizon. Neither writer-director Greta Gerwig nor her co-writer (and real-life partner) Noah Baumbach has a contract for Barbie 2, but that doesn't mean the studio hasn't tried to convince Gerwig. 

Every character in Greta Gerwig’s Barbieis perfectly crafted perfection. The dolls — Stereotypical Barbie, Beach Ken, and dorky Allan, among others — steal the spotlight, but Gerwig considers her human characters, the ones who give these toys ideas and conflicts, too. There’s the goofy Mattel CEO (Will Ferrell) and abrasive teenager Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt).

Even before I got to the theater, I saw the pink.

Bet you'd never imagine reading this sentence: Evil Dead Rise fans have spotted a parallel between the horror sequel and Barbie. It's a stretch, yes, and it's toe-tally weird to boot, but they've spotted it – and taken to Twitter to highlight it. 

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is finally upon us, and audiences love it. The comedy starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the eponymous doll and her maybe-boyfriend Ken has made big money at the box office, with audiences and critics both effusively praising the film’s extravagant production design and pitch-perfect soundtrack alongside Robbie’s and Gosling’s sensational performances.

After seeing Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie and playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure last weekend, I have to wonder: Is it cool to be a girl again? But actually. We’ve gotten glittering pop tracks featuring Power Puff Girl-inspired visuals from NewJeans and Gerwig’s movie has been released to theaters to seemingly universal fanfare and pink. Now, fans of mobile games get a little cherry on top: a social sim featuring Sanrio’s cast of characters. The summer of 2023 has been a great season for media aimed at women and girls.

Barbie is consistently hilarious, but it might not have been the case if Greta Gerwig snuck in a joke that she thought was “really funny” – and no one else agreed.

Barbie’s success at the box office has clearly got Mattel very excited. In a new interview, the CEO has doubled down on plans for a whole host of planned movie adaptations based on existing toys. "Successful movies lend themselves to more movies," Ynon Kreiz told Variety. "Our ambition is to create film franchises."

From the infamous Earring Magic Ken and Ken’s Best Friend Allan to Video Girl Barbie and the ever-pregnant Midge, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie is chock-full of cameos from the most distant corners of the Barbie canon. There’s even an appearance from the notorious Growing Up Skipper — Barbie’s little sister, whose boobs grew if you turned her arm.

Real Barbie fans know that the iconic blond fashion doll has had a long cinematic career, decades before Greta Gerwig’s satirical live-action movie Barbie. Barbie’s movie roots started in 2001 with the direct-to-VHS feature Barbie in the Nutcracker, and she’s since gone on to star in 41 animated movies.

If you’ve been within a few meters radius of a movie theater recently, you will no doubt have felt the Kenergy. Seas of pink-clad cinemagoers have been attending sold-old screenings of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, giving the movie the best box office opening of 2023 so far.

Barbie and Oppenheimer’s box-office fates have been enmeshed until the movies have reached portmanteau status, jointly christened “Barbenheimer” as if People Magazine caught the physicist and the foot-tall plastic doll canoodling together on a Malibu beach. The films’ shared release date inextricably linked the narratives of their success or failure, and a hybridized fandom evolved from viral memes to custom T-shirts and mass ticket sales for back-to-back viewing of the two movies.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Barbie 's third act. Make sure you’ve seen the movie before reading any further.

Barbie may be full of outlandish moments and jokes, but Greta Gerwig says the one scene Warner Bros. executives suggested she cut was far from wild. In fact, the director would even go as far to say that it's "the heart of the movie". 

Barbie and Oppenheimer – or Barbenheimer, as the internet has affectionately named them – combined forces to smash the box office, bringing in numbers way ahead of expectations. 

As a huge Barbie fan, I found Greta Gerwig’s 2023 movie Barbie an absolute delight. All the details of Barbieland, from the way the Barbies move around their DreamHouses to the costumes that represent actual dolls really celebrate the joys of girlhood play. But there’s one small detail I just can’t get over.

The time has come: Barbenheimer, the cinematic double-feature event of the summer, is here. Greta Gerwig’s sparkly fantasy comedy-drama Barbie premiering alongside Christopher Nolan’s gravely serious biopic Oppenheimer, about the man responsible for the atomic bomb, has made for one of the strangest (and most exciting) movie weekends in recent memory.

Barbenheimer is a certifiable cultural phenomenon. The tongue-in-cheek name social media granted to Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer when people first noticed they were releasing on the same day has metastasized into a kind of participatory cultural rite, with jokesters creating fake posters and real merch for the release, not to mention endless memes.

Happy Barbenheimer Friday, Polygon readers!

It can be hard to believe how much has changed over the past 30 years for queer Americans. In the distant past of 1993, gay marriage wasn’t legal in any state in the country. Sodomy laws all over America attempted to outlaw gay sex by criminalizing any oral or anal erotic contact. And Dan Savage, a sex-advice columnist then only known to readers of a few independent alt-newspapers around the country, was capable of making breakout news with a scandalous revelation: Mattel’s latest Ken doll, part of the Earring Magic line of Barbie toys, was openly modeled on gay fashion. And Mattel had unwittingly put a sex toy around his neck.

Barbie and Oppenheimer’s box-office fates have been enmeshed until the movies have reached portmanteau status, jointly christened “Barbenheimer” as if People Magazine caught the physicist and the foot-tall plastic doll canoodling together on a Malibu beach. The films’ shared release date has inextricably linked the narratives of their success or failure, and a hybridized fandom has evolved from viral memes to custom T-shirts and mass ticket sales for back-to-back viewing of the two movies.

The ongoing feud between Barbie and Oppenheimer rages on. But it seems that a bit of collateral damage is now on the menu, as we learned in a recent Nerdist interview with Barbie’s director, Greta Gerwig, that there will be a joke in the movie poking fun at Zack Snyder fans. While the interview never explicitly reveals that Snyder is the butt of the joke in this case (only referring to a “particular fandom online”), it’s made fairly obvious by the fact the interviewer asks if Gerwig gets a free pass because Margot Robbie is part of the DCEU.
