Deadpool has really defied expectations. Getting the movie green-lit was always a challenge, but finally happened after test footage of Ryan Reynolds in character leaked online. Reynolds’ first outing as the Merc with a Mouth - or more the Merc without a Mouth - in X-Men Origins: Wolverine - and its weak reception likely contributed to that, which makes it all the more fitting that Deadpool openly makes jokes about that movie in his new solo adventure....

The Mac App Store is not as old as the iOS App Store, but it has been around for a long time — since 2010, to be specific.

As revealed by app analysis firm AppFigures, the number of new apps submitted to the Mac App Store has been steadily declining since the beginning of this year....

As Marvel Studios moves beyond Phase 3, they are developing another franchise that could replace Avengers. The Marvel Cinematic Universe may have began with just Iron Man, but it was the forethought to build to The Avengers that truly launched the interconnected franchise. The MCU library is now nineteen movies deep, with Avengers: Infinity War out in theaters and crushing the competition at the box office. But, with the future of the MCU still very much under wraps, what exactly will happen next is up for speculation....

Outside of comic book and pop culture conventions and expos, Halloween is the one time of the year in which everyone dresses up as their favorite fictional characters and show exactly where their interests are. It’s common for the year’s biggest movies and TV shows to influence the Halloween season - and Halloween 2017 is no different, with Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman leading the list of costume searches. What’s more, actors, actresses, and other celebrities like to get in on the fun, too....

Long before he brought The Avengers to life on the silver screen, Joss Whedon was a master of the small screen. With Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, and Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog under his belt, Whedon’s work achieved cult status, with devotees still talking about his shows to this day. Most of Whedon’s shows thrive on monster or plots-of-the-week format, with teases setting up an overarching narrative that all tie together by the season finale....

Major spoilers for Blade Runner 2049. - Was K really as all good as he seemed in Blade Runner 2049? We have a theory that, rather than being a random replicant who wound up changing the fate of humanity, he was an unwitting pawn of villain Niander Wallace who turned against his creator. Allow us to explain. In the basic reading of the film, K is a replicant working as a blade runner who has his belief challenged when out on a routine “retirement”: the discovery of Deckard and Rachael’s child challenges his worldview, with him eventually believing it’s him and he thus has a soul....

Time-traveling (and usually egotistical) DC Comics superhero Michael Jon Carter - better known by his alias Booster Gold - is a character that Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl TV show co-creator Greg Berlanti has attempted to bring to the small screen too (since as far back as 2011). Over the past year, some fans have speculated that Booster Gold is a likely candidate to show up on the Arrow/Flash TV show spinoff Legends of Tomorrow (also co-created by Berlanti), all the more so because the character worked alongside Legends co-protagonist Rip Hunter in such comic book storylines as the post-Infinity Crisis 52 limited series published in 2006 (among other DC Comics narrative arcs)....

For any fans who thought Dave Bautista couldn’t get any more jacked as Drax, Josh Brolin has inspired the actor to take things to another level ahead of Avengers 4. While audiences still have until next year to see Avengers: Infinity War, the cast have already moved on to begin shooting the currently untitled fourth Avengers film.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the latest title in the Call of Duty franchise, is set to potentially be in the spotlight very soon in the lead-up to E3.

Sideshow Collectibles revealed an awesome-looking Aquaman figure from Hot Toys. Jason Momoa will make his debut as the heir to the throne of Atlantis in November’s Justice League, but the ensemble adventure is only setting him up to star in the Aquaman solo film in 2018.

Marvel’s latest series, Cloak & Dagger, seems to have rewritten the origin story of its titular heroes. Although the series is clearly inspired by the original comics, it’s a rather loose adaptation; the core concept remains the same, but a lot of the details have been adjusted to fit with the MCU. It’s a similar approach to the one Marvel used with Runaways, which was true to the spirit of the original comic, but certainly not to the panels....

Vincent D’Onofrio announces he’s done filming Daredevil season 3. When Marvel and Netflix launched their corner of the MCU in 2015, they did so by giving Matt Murdock a solo series. With Charlie Cox in the lead role, and a ground-level view at superheroes at the center, Daredevil became an instant hit. However, its success wasn’t just due to its titular hero but also because of D’Onofrio’s stellar performance as the main villain, Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin....

Many of the characters in that first film, including Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, Patrick Stewart’s Professor X and Ian McKellen’s Magneto, would go on to become icons....

David Fincher is best known for directing such films as Gone Girl and The Social Network, but ventured into television with Netflix’s award-winning political saga House of Cards - which just unveiled a premiere date and new teaser for season 4.
