About Molly Freeman

Molly Freeman is writer and editor based in Brooklyn, NY. A graduate of Ithaca College’s Journalism program, Molly originally planned to be a music journalist before moving into entertainment journalism after spending so much downtime watching movies and TV during her formative years. Beyond that, Molly spends her free time reading romance novels, baking and taking care of her plants.

Industry Focus

Molly is the Superheroes Lead at Screen Rant and one of Screen Rant’s Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer-approved movie and TV critics. She’s been writing for Screen Rant since 2014, having worked on the news, features and reviews teams. Previously, she’s written entertainment news for Bustle and had personal essays published on HelloGiggles and Femsplain.

Favorite Media

Molly's favorite Marvel movie of all time is Captain America: The Winter Soldier, though Black Panther, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Thor: Ragnarok are close behind (and she's still waiting on a live-action Squirrel Girl). Her favorite DC movie is, unashamedly, Batman & Robin—or, less ashamedly, The Batman.
