Just to combat those rumors, Ben Affleck is going to portray Batman as long as DC and Warner Brothers still want him in the suit. Even earlier today the internet was in a frenzy that Affleck might leave the DCEU after Justice League, and not return.

Christopher Nolan’s version of Gotham City in The Dark Knight partially inspired the depiction of Wakanda in Marvel’s Black Panther. While much of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and Marvel Comics, for that matter) exists in real-world locations such as Los Angeles, New York, and London, a significant portion exists in fictional places such as Asgard, Sokovia, and of course, Wakanda. But that doesn’t mean they can’t appear somewhat real. Even though the MCU continues to increase its number of cosmic stories, parts of the shared universe are still in some ways grounded in reality, thanks to films such as Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Spider-Man: Homecoming....

One of the first things Buffy the Vampire Slayer teaches us about the frightening business of slaying is that it’s a lonely calling. The young woman fated to be that generation’s Slayer stands alone, as nobody else boasts the supernatural strength, reflexes and such needed to go toe-to-toe with the demonic hordes. In the case of Buffy Summers, however, things are a little different. She isn’t entirely alone. While she and the Scoobies have prevented the end of the world together countless times, they’re not quite the tight-knit machine fans may think....
Though Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) may not be suiting up as Nomad in Avengers: Infinity War, Steve will at least possess the “spirit” of Nomad.

HBO’s latest miniseries, Chernobyl, chronicles the events that led up to and proceeded the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, but the thing is, the actors all use their normal (mostly British) accents rather than attempt to incorporate Russian accents in the Soviet Union-focused series - why? Unfortunately, Hollywood isn’t particularly known for its inclusiveness, and that’s extended to not casting actors - on a general scale, though there are exceptions - from the countries where their TV shows and movies are set....
