About Cooper Hood

Cooper Hood is the Associate Editor for all new movie releases, in theaters and on streaming. In addition to writing articles about these titles and upcoming releases, he also oversees content planning for each, ensuring that ScreenRant continues to cover major releases for months after their release.

He has written various reviews for ScreenRant that appear on Rotten Tomatoes, coordinated Oscars and San Diego Comic-Con coverage, appeared on CNN to talk about Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, and done select interviews with talent over the years.

Author Details

Cooper Hood is an avid movie watcher and editor based in Indiana. He graduated from college in 2016 with a Bachelor's degree in Media & Public Communication, with a minor in Media Production. When he is not writing or watching movies, Cooper spends time with his wife and kids, family, and friends. He also enjoys playing golf, being the best fantasy football commissioner around, and listening to music.

Industry Focus

Cooper began working for Screen Rant in 2016 after becoming a Marvel expert from his time developing his own MCU blog and writing for MCU Exchange. Originally starting out writing news about movies and TV, he moved to features after a few years to dive deeper into what he was watching, allowing him to cover favorite franchises like Mission: Impossible, John Wick, Creed, Hunger Games, and more.

He became the Theatrical Movies Editor in 2023, and an Associate Editor in 2025. Now, he remains focused on major new releases, favorite franchises, and movies hoping to earn Academy Award nominations.

Favorite Media

Cooper has a love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe that has driven his journalism career. He is also a huge fan of the Mission: Impossible franchise and anything Tom Cruise does. Jake Gyllenhaal, Scarlett Johansson, and Jennifer Lawrence are other stars he's always happy to see on screen.

Moneyball and Warrior are two of Cooper's favorite movies of all time, as you'll see on his Letterboxd profile, and The Other Guys is his funniest, most quotable movie. He frequently spends time doing marathon rewatches for franchises or directors in preparation for new releases.
