The Walking Dead is a show that has never been shy about offing its characters. From the very beginning, it was clear that anyone could bite it at any time. That turned out to be one of the biggest selling points for the program and actually helped audiences invest in it.
Star Trek is one of the most enduring franchises in the history of cinema and television. It's continuously been on screens, in some form or another, since the 1960s, when the original show was airing on CBS.
All might not be well for the heroes of The CW’s Arrowverse. While Oliver Queen is getting a proper send-off with Arrow now airing a shortened final season that will work as something of an epilogue, and hype is sky high for the crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths," that excitement isn’t spreading to all corners of the shared universe, it seems, as both Supergirl and Batwoman are currently flailing in the ratings.
Natalie Portman will be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Thor: Love & Thunder, but her journey with the franchise has been a long and bumpy one.

Hollywood has always looked to past success stories for inspiration. As such, certain films have a very cyclical life. For instance, A Star Is Born has been remade three times, with the original originally being produced in 1937.

One of the most famous recent misfires is 2016’s Ghostbusters.

Zombieland: Double Tap opens this weekend to great fan expectations. The first film has become something of a cult classic that helped usher both Jessie Eisenberg and Emma Stone into the upper echelon of Hollywood and ever since the original movie grossed over $100 million at the box office, audiences have been eagerly awaiting a follow-up.
Creed came out of nowhere in 2015, wowing audiences with an emotional and insightful story that hearkened back to the first Rocky. And not only was the film a hit with fans, but critics as well. Sylvester Stallone, who returned as an older and world-weary version of, arguably, his most iconic character, even nabbed an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
