With docs ranging from rap legends Biggie and Tupac to pianist and trailblazing civil rights activist Nina Simone to classical songstress Barbra Streisand, the international streaming service is not lacking in music-related documentaries, but there are some seriously rockin’ standouts....

The Force may be strong with BioWare games, but don’t expect the studio to start work on any new Star Wars titles in the near future. Once known for fan-favorite games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, it sounds like the acclaimed development team is putting another trip to that galaxy far, far away on hold for now. As BioWare throws everything it has into next year’s release of Anthem, questions have obviously circled about what the company will work on next....

Black Lightning’s Arrowverse references don’t mean that the show will be melding worlds with the DCTV universe anytime soon, the show’s executive producer Salim Akil said. With all Arroweverse shows - Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow - getting another season order, and Black Lightning locking in its sophomore year, there is a whole other TV season for the series to eventually make a crossover happen. Unfortunately, before fans get really excited about the idea, Black Lightning’s executive producer is setting the record straight regarding those Arrowverse references in a recent episode and what they actually mean for the freshman series moving forward....

It’s Captain America: Civil War week and if you’re a Marvel movie fan, you will not see as many stories and headlines about the movie until it opens in theaters.

A description of the Coinbase App Store policy makes very clear the disproportionate power Apple holds over the tech sector, argues a new piece today. The company’s CEO says that whatever Apple wants, it gets – which doesn’t exactly help Apple’s antitrust argument that its App Store is simply one platform… The Verge deputy editor Elizabeth Lopatto drew attention to a recent Coinbase blog post in which CEO Brian Armstrong said that Apple and Google had more power over them than even payment providers....

Terry Crews’ mysterious Deadpool 2 role has now been confirmed. The sequel to Tim Miller’s 2016 Deadpool film is currently untitled - though that may actually be on purpose if 20th Century Fox wants to release the movie as the Untitled Deadpool Sequel - and it’s looking to set up the studio’s X-Force team for a spinoff down the line.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is on the verge of embarking on a journey into a new phase in its existence.
