When Savitar first appeared in season 3 of The Flash, it appeared as if he would be little more than the self-proclaimed God of Speed he said he was. Since then, it's become clear that he ties into the Scarlet Speedster's mythology in a much bigger way and that he has an identity which, when revealed, will blow the minds of both fans and Barry Allen.
While both X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Wolverine were moderate hits, Logan has so far exceeded expectations. That's particularly impressive considering the fact its R-rating cuts off a huge chunk of the audience, and is arguably further proof that moviegoers have an interest in superhero movies which come in all forms.
Those lucky enough to be at Disney's recent shareholders meeting were treated to a variety of sneak peeks from upcoming releases, including Star Wars: The Last Jedi and a number of Marvel's future movies, like Thor: Ragnarok. This marks the first time anything has been shown off from the upcoming threequel, and while we recently got a first look at it via some official stills, we now have something even better: a small description of the footage that was screened.
The first six episodes of Marvel and Netflix's Iron Fist have been met with mixed reviews so far, but it appears as if we can expect the show's final seven instalments to pick up in a major way and deliver some surprises which should make fans very happy indeed.
The first wave of reviews for Iron Fist found their way online earlier this week and the response was mixed, to say the least. Bizarrely, many critics zeroed in on apparent whitewashing, an odd claim considering the fact that the hero has been portrayed as being Caucasian for decades now.
There was a time when Marvel Studios would pretty much lay out the entire plot of their movies in trailers and TV spots, but that's something which has thankfully changed in recent years, hence why we're heading into Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 knowing very little about the upcoming sequel.
The prospect of an X-Men "family drama" didn't excite fans all that after it was announced, but with an impressive cast brought together and Matt Nix and Bryan Singer involved as showrunner and director respectively, it's clear that there's a lot to look forward to with the upcoming Fox series.
Fans of The Walking Dead comic books expected Glenn to meet his maker in the show's season 7 premiere, especially as that's exactly how things played out in the source material. The death of Abraham, however, came totally out of the blue, despite the fact he was killed off a full three issues before Glenn's demise.
Last night, the highly anticipated third and final trailer for Wonder Woman was finally released by Warner Bros. and brought with it plenty of action-packed footage, which has so far been received pretty well. Now, a new TV spot has followed it and though light on fresh footage, it puts the focus on Diana Prince's origin story, giving us a better idea of what to expect from that aspect of the film.
Initially, box office analysts predicted that Logan stood a chance of beating Kong: Skull Island in North America this weekend. Well, positive word of mouth must have helped the iconic monster in his return to the big screen, as the next entry into Warner Bros. and Legendary's MonsterVerse has now well exceeded expectations.
