Legendary's MonsterVerse is in a pretty good spot after its last two crossover movies and Apple TV+'s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters surprisingly being one of the best super expensive tie-in shows based on big-screen properties.

Last year, we learned that Capcom and Legendary Pictures had teamed up to develop a new live-action Street Fighter movie, and Talk to Me directors Danny and Michael Philippou were promptly attached to it. Now, the filmmakers have just departed the project due to scheduling issues, but that isn't stopping distributor Sony Pictures from setting a tentative release date anyway.

Dune: Part Two is kind of a corker for sure, but some moviegoers also felt it was brutally long, as we don't get many near-three-hours epics these days anymore (with stuff like Avatar: The Way of Water and Napoleon being other recent exceptions). According to writer-director Denis Villeneuve, we missed out on at least a couple of pretty cool actors because he and the studio didn't want the movie to overstay its welcome.
