I'm a writer/editor who's been at the site since 2015. I cover politics, weird history, video games and... well, anything really. Keep it breezy, keep it light, keep it straightforward.
Considering how many great female characters there are in the MCU, it's a bit silly that we'll have had to wait eleven years for a female-led Marvel Studios movie. Fortunately, it looks like Brie Larson's Captain Marvel is set to join the pantheon currently occupied by iconic heroines like Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Zoe Saldana's Gamora and Tessa Thompson's Valkryie. In fact, the latter was so well received in last year's Thor: Ragnarok that she and several other notable MCU actresses approached Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige with a plan for an all-female Marvel movie team-up.
Subtlety and The Walking Dead aren't often bedfellows. Exhibit A: these brand new posters for the second half of season 8, one of which references Rick Grimes' promise to kill Negan that he made the day the pair met. This was way back at the end of season 6, which was nearly two years ago. The one poster appears to be hinting that Rick should shit or get off the pot in regards to the whole Negan thing, while the other flips the table, showing Jeffrey Dean Morgan's big bad with the message "Kill Rick" on it.
Michelle Pfieffer's Catwoman in 1992's Batman Returns did some very weird things to my young mind. I just wanted to see a fun Dark Knight movie, but what I got was a whip-crackin', live-bird munching Pfieffer in full skin-tight latex and stiletto heels assaulting the Caped Crusader with sexually loaded puns. Ever since then, I've had a soft spot for the actress, who's become a real top tier talent, recently turning heads in Darren Aronofsky's excellent Mother!
Worrying reports indicate that the LAPD and Adult Protective Services attended Stan Lee's Los Angeles home to investigate reports of assault and battery.
While it's safe to say that the DC universe hasn't exactly transferred smoothly to the big screen, the same can't be said for television. The various DC TV projects, known collectively as the Arrowverse, recently returned to The CW to rave reviews, with particular kudos going to the excellent Cress Williams-starring Black Lightning.
Jon Favreau likes his bread buttered on both sides. He manages to juggle being a sought after character actor, most famously playing Tony Stark's bodyguard buddy Happy Hogan, and being a top-flight director. He introduced us to the MCU in 2008's Iron Man and recently had a critical and financial smash hit with the live-action The Jungle Book, which he's soon to follow up with an all-star remake of The Lion King (for a very long time I thought he was also President Obama's speechwriter, but it turns out that was another Jon Favreau).
