2017 will not only feature the latest additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the next installment in the Star Wars saga, it will also give audiences the latest film from writer and director Christopher Nolan.

The movie will also reteam the filmmaker with several of his usual actors, including Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy, along with Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance, and One Direction member, Harry Styles....

Although Emma Stone is no longer the world’s highest-paid actress (that title was handed to Scarlett Johansson in 2018), she remains one of Hollywood’s most talented performers. Playing a variety of roles, from a woman with a borderline personality disorder to a struggling young actress, Stone knows how to disappear into the character she is playing. She approaches every role with a kind of sincerity that commands respect. While many of her performances are worth talking about, we’re here to focus on only her absolute best....

Sideshow has a new sneak-peak at an upcoming premium format figure of the wily and unpredictable X-Men mutant Mystique. While there’s just the barest of information at present, we’re able to at least figure out a few details by what we can see in Sideshow’s teaser image, and it looks to be a significant departure from the Mystique that film fans might be familiar with. Comic fans, though? They’ll be quite familiar with what looks to be Mystique’s classic white double slit dress....

Back in September 2013 we visited the set of the first Guardians of the Galaxy - and while walking through the props, costume, and art departments to view all of the designs of the alien races to be introduced in Marvel Studios’ first cosmic movie, a common topic of discussion was that of which characters and aliens species Marvel is allowed to use, versus those which ones rival studio Fox currently owns the rights to....

Sicario: Day of the Soldado creates an unlikely franchise from Denis Villeneuve’s Oscar-nominated 2015 hit, but does it go as far as including an end-credits scene? While the first Sicario may have felt like a standalone movie, writer Taylor Sheridan always had bigger dreams that just one cartel gangland story. He got that with Soldado, which brings back Benicio del Toro’s Alejandro Gillick and Josh Brolin’s Matt Graver (but no presence or mention of original lead Emily Blunt’s Kate Macer or partner in fighting crime Daniel Kaluuya’s Reggie Wayne)....

Solo: A Star Wars Story star Donald Glover offered a preview of his take on Lando Calrissian during a skit on last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live.

Albert Einstein was not only one of the greatest scientists of all-time, he was also one of the most fascinating people.

Director David Ayer’s social media activity has reignited rumors that Baby Driver’s Eiza González may be Catwoman in Gotham City Sirens.

Arrowverse crossover event Elseworlds was packed with Easter Eggs for fans of DC Comics, as well as a number of other clever pop culture references and tributes. This is par for the course for the shows making up the Arrowverse, which have gone beyond merely adapting classic comic book heroes and villains in creating a whole new world and are now bringing whole storylines from the comics to life. Fittingly this tribute to the various alternate realities making up the DC Comics multiverse comes at a time when the individual Arrowverse shows seem to have been pushing beyond the boundaries of what comics readers expect of a superhero show....

Absent for almost a decade now, fans are thrilled at the prospect of the Fable franchise finally making its return at E3 2019 after the game was listed on Mixer, Microsoft’s dedicated streaming platform. It isn’t a whole lot to go on, but recent nods to Fable 4’s potential existence by Microsoft lend credibility to this online find. Early in 2018, rumors of Fable 4’s development were spreading, and it was believed that Microsoft apparently had enlisted Forza Horizon’s first-party developer Playground Games to continue where the epic fantasy franchise left off after Fable creator Lionhead Studios closed in 2016....
