Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is bringing back Greg for its fourth and final season, but he’ll be played by Skylar Astin, rather than the original actor, Santino Fontana. The series follows the musical adventures of Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom), a high flying but miserable New York lawyer who abandons her life in the city to move to West Covina, California… after discovering that her first love is there, and single. Although she denies that the move has anything to do with him, of course....

In the superhero movie arms race, one spot where the Marvel Cinematic Universe has established a near-unquestioned dominance is in the realm of costumes; with character after character (apart from the rare exception) showing up looking closer to their often outlandish/impractical comic book selves than fans would’ve dared to hope even a decade ago. Marvel’s Netflix shows, on the other hand, have thus far eschewed faithful adherence for something closer to realism, with Daredevil (Charlie Cox) in muted tactical armor and neither Luke Cage (Mike Colter) nor Iron First (Finn Jones) expected to appear in their famously flashy original ’70s threads....

DCEU actors Henry Cavill and Zachary Levi celebrates Superman’s 80th birthday. Created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster in 1933, it wasn’t until 1938 that the Man of Steel debuted on the pages of the comics, Action Comics #1, after the two sold the character rights to Detective Comics. Since then, Kal-El has been the epitome of truth, justice, and hope in pop media culture. After his stint on the pages of the comics, Superman eventually came to the big screen, but it was Richard Donner’s famous Superman live-action film in 1978 that truly catapulted the character to mainstream consciousness....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Doctor Strange With Doctor Strange now in theaters, fans are getting a taste of Marvel’s newest superhero (read our review). Suffice to say, Steven Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) is a bit different than Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) or Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in many ways. Doctor Strange promises to take the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the brink of perception, and then shatter it entirely. From this point on, fans can throw out everything they thought they knew about the MCU....

Jim Parsons didn’t have any plans on returning to The Big Bang Theory after season 12, which is why the sitcom is ending. Debuting in 2007, the show follows the day-to-day lives of seven nerdy friends all living in California. After more than a decade on TV, it remains a hit ratings-wise for the network, averaging a 2.7 rating in adults 18-49 and 14 million viewers an episode in Live+Same Day for its 24-episode 11th season....

The upcoming Black Adam movie will change the balance of power in the DCEU. Dwayne Johnson signed up to play Black Adam over a decade ago, and he’ll finally make his DCEU debut in 2021. At first, viewers assumed Johnson would appear as the villain in Shazam!, a film that was strongly influenced by Geoff Johns’ run - which featured Black Adam. DC took a different direction, intending to position Black Adam as an antihero rather than Billy Batson’s nemesis....

Another DC property will be making its way to the small screen soon, Black Lightning. Adding to the three series’ on order and nine in development, DC could be the largest content producer on television with as many as 21 properties at once. Originally not part of the CW’s Arrowverse, Black Lightning was slated to be joining Gotham and Lucifer on Fox. However, for unknown reasons, the show left Fox (even after being ordered to pilot) and has landed on The CW after all....

In the latest instance of a film being adapted for the small screen, NBC is set to turn 1999 crime thriller The Bone Collector into a TV series. While movies making the jump to TV is by no means a new phenomenon, recent years have seen a sharp uptick in the amount of such projects. Hannibal Lecter went from devouring the rude in films to bizarrely romancing Will Graham in Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal series, Sam Raimi’s horror hero Ash Williams began slaying Deadites on Starz’s Ash vs Evil Dead, and even The Omen’s antichrist Damien Thorn found new (albeit brief) life on A&E’s Damien, just to name a few examples....

Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS ahead for Avengers: Infinity War - Joe Russo reveals that Steve Rogers’ and Bucky Barnes’ reunion in Avengers: Infinity War isn’t the first time they’ve seen each other since Cap went underground after being labeled a fugitive in Captain America: Civil War while his best pal has been sorting himself out in Wakanda. The most enduring relationship in the MCU, the two men out of a time have gone through so much over the last several decades....

Relationships are fraught with tension, drama, and anguish. And that’s just in real life. Imagine dating somebody on the Hellmouth. Not only could a vampire steal your life—but they could also steal your mate. On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Scooby Gang always has their hands full. Sometimes, it’s with fighting the latest Big Bad, but often it’s with their own romantic conflicts. The love triangle is one of the most tried and true plot devices ever....

Atomic Blonde star Charlize Theron says she’s hoping Idris Elba will someday play James Bond. With Daniel Craig’s future in the 007 universe uncertain, everybody from casual James Bond fans to diehard devotees to industry heavies have been weighing in on who should be the next person to play author Ian Fleming’s famed British super spy. Since Craig has been wavering in his commitment to Bond 25, several notable actors’ names have been bandied about, including Thor and upcoming The Dark Tower star Elba, Tom Hiddleston (following his turn in The Night Manager) and Jamie Bell; and just this week, Dunkirk writer-director Christopher Nolan endorsed his frequent collaborator Tom Hardy for the role, saying, “He’d be amazing....

The giant merchandise rollout for Solo: A Star Wars Story is well underway, including a variety of Funko products for fans to add to their collections. As difficult as it is to believe, Lucasfilm’s next blockbuster comes out in a little over a month, meaning there’s precious time left for the promotional campaign. Last night, the studio revved up the marketing machine in a big way with the release of a new trailer and poster, which continues to sell audiences on an old school space adventure film depicting Han’s wild youth....

Christopher Robin arrives over 40 years after Disney’s classic animated feature The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and the Hundred Acre Wood has changed. First introduced in the stories of author A.A. Milne in 1926, Winnie the Pooh has captivated and delighted children ever since. Pooh’s adventures alongside his various animal friends and human pal Christopher Robin are legendary among children’s literature, and have also become equally celebrated within the animated realm, thanks to Disney’s various adaptations....

Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger could resolve a major dropped plot thread from Agent Carter Season 2. In the comics, the character of Cloak is traditionally associated with an interdimensional energy known as the Darkforce. The Darkforce has already been seen in the MCU; it was introduced back in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1, in the episode “The Only Light in the Darkness,” and was further developed in the second season of Agent Carter....

With the holiday season here, one thing people can do while spending time with their loved ones is play some good Apple Arcade games. With over 200 apps available, here are some you should try. The Pinball Wizard One of the games I fell in love with after Apple launched Apple Arcade was Pinball Wizard. This is an adventure game where the main character is propelled into action by a set of flippers, like the ball in a pinball machine....

One of the lesser-known features that have arrived with macOS Ventura is an expansion of the Live Text capability. No longer limited to photos, follow along for how you can recognize and copy text from videos on Mac. The valuable Live Text OCR feature first came to iPhone and Mac with iOS 15 and macOS Monterey. Now with macOS Ventura (and iOS 16 too), if you don’t have a photo of the text you want to copy and paste, you can grab it from a video....

NOTE: This article contains SPOILERS for Green Lanterns #17 - When DC launched its New 52 continuity with a host of new heroes and books, those written by Geoff Johns, DC’s Chief Creative Officer were all worthy of note, for a variety of reasons. The new Green Lantern Simon Baz was of particular interest, with his Lebanese-American ancestry - shared by Johns himself - and the unique challenges or prejudices he and his family faced in their home of Dearborn, Michigan (a stone’s throw away from Johns’s own hometown)....

Warning: SPOILERS for Heroes in Crisis The story of Wally West has become a tragedy over the past several years, subjecting The Flash to heartbreak, loss, and even involuntary manslaughter of his fellow heroes. But Wally’s story is far from over… and he’s getting his own comic miniseries to tell it. The recent Heroes in Crisis event will be what many DC fans immediately connect to the former Flash, after the event’s shocking reveal that Wally West accidentally killed the victims of Sanctuary....

The team behind Dead or Alive 6 posted an apology for the latest in-game microtransaction feature, which involves changing the hair color of the playable character. Published by Koei Tecno Games, the fighting game was first announced at E3 2018, then hit the shelves in early 2019. Announced in early March, the hair color feature is exclusive to the PS4 version of Dead or Alive 6. If players want to change the playable character’s hair, they’re required to use one premium ticket, which costs real money, around $1 each....
