A good movie villain is hard to come by. Comic book movies offer no shortage of villains but many of them vary in quality. There is a plethora of villains to choose from but it always seems so hard to really nail what makes them so great.

Considering how popular the brand is, it wasn’t all that surprising when Warner Bros. announced plans to produce a spinoff series, which draws its title from one of Harry’s Hogwarts textbooks....

Wingard plans to explore the reality of the destruction left behind by the cryptids’ epic (and dangerous) battle....
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the biggest film franchises in the world, grossing billions of dollars globally and earning much critical acclaim as they redefined the industry with their shared universe model. For all their successes, Marvel isn’t without their fair share of controversy, particularly when it comes to directors having creative freedom over their projects. It’s a tricky balance to find; filmmakers enjoy being able to put their own stamp on a movie, but they need to be able to play by the rules if they are to helm a massive series installment....
Gwendoline Christie compared Game of Thrones and Star Wars during the show’s panel at Comic-Con International in San Diego, saying that they have a similar sense of ‘coming home’ to them.

Warning: Major SPOILERS ahead for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has arrived in cinemas, but the latest Wizarding World movie raises far more questions than it answers.
