Much was made of The CW's four-night DC TV crossover event last year, but in reality, it really only took place over three nights. Perhaps a minute or two at most of Supergirl was devoted to the "Invasion!" storyline, leaving fans who were expecting more quite disappointed. The action which took place in The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow was great and led to some strong ratings for the network, but that first part was definitely a let down.
When The New 52 reboot launched back in 2011, decades worth of history were wiped away. Suddenly, the DC Universe was only five years old, and a number of legacy characters were M.I.A. Thankfully, DC Rebirth changed that by bringing back Wally West and teasing the fact that Watchmen character Dr. Manhattan may have stolen this world's history for reasons known only to him.
While ratings may not be where they once were, The Walking Dead remains one of the most popular cable dramas on television. Now in its seventh year, the comic book adaptation shows no signs of slowing down, something which is evident from Josh Sapan, the CEO of AMC Networks.
The only Marvel movie Twentieth Century Fox has coming in 2017 is Logan, and their plans for 2018 are currently unclear. The Fantastic Four franchise is on the shelf at the moment, while plans for X-Men: Supernova haven't been made public just yet. There's no reason to worry, however, as Simon Kinberg (who's rumoured to take the helm of the X-Men: Apocalypse follow-up) has revealed at least two projects coming our way which fans can start looking forward to.
As we inch closer and closer to the fall, production begins to heat up on what might just be one of Marvel's most ambitious projects yet. And no, we're not referring to Avengers: Infinity War, though that's wildly ambitious, too. We're talking about Inhumans, which is getting ready to head in front of cameras and is now well into the casting process.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi may very well be 2017's most highly anticipated movie, and it's not exactly hard to see why. Continuing the story which kicked off in 2015's $2 billion blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rian Johnson is at the helm for this next chapter and a terrific cast has been assembled thanks to new and returning faces.
It's now been well over a year since the last James Bond film, Spectre, hit theaters and we still haven't heard much about the next entry yet. Bond 25, as it's being called, is being shrouded in much secrecy (which isn't terribly surprising), so much so that we can't even say for certain whether or not Daniel Craig will be back to reprise the role. He's bounced back and forth on the issue more times than we can count, or keep track of, and it seems that he always has a different answer whenever asked about it.
Hugh Jackman has made it clear on numerous occasions now that he won't ever return to the role of Wolverine after Logan, but it's hard to imagine that the character will remain on the shelf forever. We've had three different actors play Spider-Man and multiple big screen versions of Batman and Superman, and while Jackman has been the clawed mutant for 17 years now, it's easy to picture someone else taking over before too long.
Warcraft and Assassin's Creed were supposed to break the video game movie curse, but both ended up being major disappointments last year. However, when you look back at previous adaptations, two which stand out as being particularly bad are Hitman and Agent 47.
Ever since George Lucas sold the Star Wars franchise to Disney, fans have been hoping that we might see the original, unaltered trilogy re-released in some form. As you surely know, over the years, Lucas continued to tinker with the movies, often upsetting many with the changes he made. Some of those alterations were minor (Ewoks suddenly being able to blink), while others were major enough to cause serious backlash (Han shooting first) or ridicule (Darth Vader's "Noooo!" as he dispatches of The Emperor).
