As we inch closer and closer to arguably the most anticipated film of all time, Avengers: Endgame, more and more little tidbits of details keep seeping through the cracks of Marvel’s nearly impenetrable wall of secrets.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first female led film, and the introduction of the most powerful hero in the universe, anticipation for this film is just about on par with the film that follows right behind it, Avengers: Endgame.

Well, it looks like some people just can’t let sleeping dogs lie. Bill Maher has taken to his show to take another crap on comic book fans in the wake of Stan ‘The Man’ Lee’s passing. He also specifically goes after Kevin Smith, one of the geek world’s most outspoken ambassadors (This may have not been a good idea…). For some reason, Maher thinks that people who love comic books are immature and childish. He thinks it’s time we “grow up”. I’m here to say to Bill that it’s time he grows up and stops being a troll. Rather than…

Roman Reigns shocked the world last year when he relinquished his WWE Universal Championship and took and indefinite leave of absence to battle the real life heel, leukemia. Reigns has battled this foe before, conquering it eleven years ago. Unfortunately, the cancer has reared its ugly head again, forcing Reigns to walk away from the hectic grind that is the squared circle so as to focus on his health. However, that doesn’t mean we won’t get to see the Big Dog on a screen soon. Thanks to his cousin, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Reigns has landed the role in the…

When it comes to a Quentin Tarantino movie, stylistic views with a stellar cast is just to be expected. He definitely has a signature style, and it’s a highly successful one. He also likes to take real moments from history, and then turn them on their heads with captivating fictional retellings. His latest film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, falls right along those lines, as Tarantino takes on the Manson Murders from an indirect standpoint. Now, we’re getting our first official look at the movie, and you’d be hard-pressed not to see that signature Tarantino style. The film is…

And, the original Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is returning to portray not only a T-800, but also the human for which his design originates. This has fans excited for what should bring us a sequel worthy of the first two. However, production has been fairly quiet, flying under the radar in a day when just about every blockbuster film has leaks. Besides the few official photos released, not much has been said about the production. But…

X-Men: Dark Phoenix has been marred with issues since filming began. Rumors abound of actors wanting out, a supposedly bad script, and constant delays have not helped a franchise that has already put a sour taste in the mouths of fans. Top that off with the Disney/Fox merger nearing completion, and it’s all but a done deal that this will be the last movie in the Fox X-Men franchise, this latest news (that basically adds validity to previous reports) is basically the final nail in the coffin for the series. Over on Twitter, Skylar Shuler reports that another test screening…
