Well it’s finally here! (Next week for you Americans, sorry) The film fans have been waiting to see since the first time they heard the words, Marvel Cinematic Universe. That’s right, Captain America: Civil War is on our screens, but is it everything that fans hoped for. You bet your sweet ass it is. It was obvious from the get-go that this wasn’t going to be a straight adaption of Mark Millar’s divisive 2006 comic book arc of the same name, for starters, despite being eight years old, the universe isn’t nearly as developed as that of the comics. There…

CBS’s Supergirl series has had a bit of a rough start, losing nearly half of its viewership since it’s debut back in October of last year. Even a crossover with CW’s The Flash last month couldn’t seem to draw the audience back and now with no renewal seemingly on the horizon, could we be seeing the Kryptonian heroine find a new network to call home. A new report from TheWrap seemingly places much of the trouble Supergirl appears to be in, on the license fees that the network needs to pay Warner Bros. Television. This is similar to NBC’s Constantine…

Much like fan-favorite Firefly, Young Justice is another unjustly cancelled television show with a loyal fan base determined to bring it back however they can. Although going by what the show’s producer had to say, these efforts may very much be in vain.

Talking to the host Vietti revealed: “It’s like all above my pay grade. If there’s anything going on it’s like way above me.” Before going on to elaborate:…

Since 2008, Robert Downey Jr. has played Tony Stark six times on screen, with his Seventh set for release May 6th and his Eighth, Ninth and Tenth lined up already with Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinty Wars Part 1 and 2 respectively, so it would be understandable if he was looking to put the character to bed. Alas, this doesn’t seem to be case as the actor has expressed interest in playing him at least one more time. A recent Nightline special for the upcoming Captain America: Civil War saw the cast on hand to discuss the film with the key…
