The days may now have ticked over into weeks since Chadwick Boseman passed away at the age of 43, but time won’t fill the hole he left behind. The Black Panther star kept his four-year battle with colon cancer a secret from all but those closest to him, leaving the film world as shocked as the public at his death.
David Tennant’s incarnation of the Doctor became the most iconic face of the rebooted show, helping take Doctor Who to heights of popularity not seen since the classic series. But though his image has become instantly recognisable, a dig into The Inside Story – a 2006 behind-the-scenes book about production on seasons one and two – has unearthed a surprising change in the Tenth Doctor’s appearance that was ultimately dropped.

As of 2020, we've only had one Green Lantern movie, though with the benefit of hindsight, fans would rather wish it didn't exist.

No crowds, no box office, no sequel. No wonder why the character was put on ice.
Following on from Ewan McGregor’s recent comments reflecting on the legacy of the Star Wars prequels, fellow Force-wielder Liam Neeson has given his own thoughts on the matter. Neeson played Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn just the once in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, but it appears to have left a lasting impression on him.
Tom Holland has a new movie just days away, and in his words, it was a huge step for him. The Spider-Man star will take the lead role in The Devil All The Time, a new Netflix thriller that’s set to go to some very dark places.
