Marvel’s Daredevil season 3 showrunner Erik Oleson is ‘hopeful’ for a season 4 renewal from Netflix. Daredevil was the first show as part of Marvel TV and Netflix’s deal for a lineup of comics-based superhero shows that eventually materialized as Matt Murdock’s solo series, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Additionally as part of the deal, the four titular heroes teamed up for The Defenders miniseries. Then, they launched The Punisher spinoff from Daredevil season 2....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Walking Dead season 8 finale - The Walking Dead’s season 8 finale might have eliminated the threat of Negan and the Saviors, but it also may have introduced a brand new threat: the Whisperers. As the Hilltop survivors prepared to do battle with the Saviors, they spotted a herd of walkers on the horizon that’s bigger than any they’ve seen before. The Whisperers are a faction that survive by covering themselves in the skins of walkers and walking with the herds in order to stay camouflaged....

A militant, repressive society masquerading as a utopian paradise in the not-too distant future. A young protagonist (perhaps with a very special set of skills) using all of her wit and abilities to save her friends and help reset society. By now it’s become a well-worn trend in the ubiquitous world of YA dystopian fiction. Following the massive success of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy, which was adapted into four films, Hollywood has been investing quite a bit in the YA dystopian future craze that series helped launch....

There has never been quite a time like now for comic book movies. After 2016 had six of these films from Marvel, WB, and Fox combined, 2017 and beyond is set to be even bigger. This year alone Marvel is releasing three (if we include Sony’s Spider-Man: Homecoming as it is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe), WB has two, and Fox has one X-Men film, but there are actually at least 15 movies (both live-action and animated) based on comics coming out this year....

Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier will not rule out a sequel to Netflix’s hit post-apocalyptic thriller Bird Box. It has been less than a month since the film debuted on Netflix, and it has been a massive success for the streaming juggernaut. The movie managed to attract over 45 million viewers in its first week and the film’s ending does leave room for more to tell, so it wouldn’t be surprising if Netflix decided to announce a sequel....

Apple has been getting a lot of pressure to replace the Lightning connector with the USB-C standard on the iPhone. After the European Union decided that USB-C will become mandatory for mobile devices and US senators considered a similar policy, now Brazil might be the next country to force Apple to build a USB-C iPhone. As reported by Tecnoblog, the Brazilian regulatory agency (also known as Anatel) has proposed new requirements for smartphone manufacturers when it comes to the charging port....

The official E3 Twitter account has confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will have a Zombies mode. So far, Activision has been tight-lipped about 2018’s Call of Duty game, despite details continuously leaking online. From an official standpoint, all the publisher has revealed is that the game will be developed by Treyarch and that it’ll be the fourth entry in the fan-favorite Black Ops series. An official reveal for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is set for next week, so it won’t be much longer for some more concrete information, but still, it’s not great having news outed from other official organizations....

The scale and reach of Chinese surveillance of its own citizens is well documented, but a new piece shows that the country’s government is now trying to use this vast trove of data to predict crimes and protests before they happen. The Supreme Court ruling on abortion is also raising fresh concerns about the way that personal data may be used to prosecute women. We’re increasingly living in a world where Apple’s decision to have privacy be a major focus is looking increasingly prescient – but even the Cupertino company may now need to do more …...

If you had knowledge of the future and the power to change it, would you? That’s the question asked by Marvel’s crossover event Civil War II, which saw its first issue released a few days ago. A new Inhuman has emerged – a young man named Ulysses who can see the future. With superheroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor, Captain Marvel and more always finding themselves up against powerful foes that come dangerously close to world domination or annihilation, a little heads-up could go a long way....

The only character who appears in every single episode of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm is Larry David. That means that everyone who’s not Larry David – even if they’re his wife or his best friend or they live in his house – is a supporting character. Whether or not they’re a great character depends on a number of factors: their relationship with Larry, the improvisational skills of the actor playing them, the storylines they’re involved in, how well-defined they are as people etc....

Now, Tye Sheridan is detailing how that controversial final battle was initially supposed to go down....

Peter Parker and Wade Wilson have gotten into some incredibly weird situations, but their trip to the Negative Zone in Spider-Man/Deadpool #45 has just raised the stakes. For now, the jokes have (temporarily) stopped… as Deadpool has been brainwashed to murder his old pal, Webs. The science fiction adventure has quickly become a quest to protect the entire Marvel Universe, now that the villainous Blastaar has used his powers of mind control to enrage and command Ransak, a member of the Deviants rejected for being too handsome (an inversion of Thanos’ own origin story)....

The original Defenders - Hulk, Silver Surfer, Namor, and Doctor Strange - are reuniting for Marvel Comics. But before that can happen, fans will need to follow Doctor Strange to the end of the Earth… and see how he returned to see his younger self killed. That’s one confusing premise for Doctor Strange: The Best Defense #1, but that is exactly how Marvel wants it. Our exclusive preview of the comic is the third chapter in a larger story, focusing on the Immortal Hulk, Namor, and now the Sorcerer Supreme in a series of enigmatic, one-off tales starring the Defenders heroes....

Following the release of the brief 15 second Better Call Saul teaser last week, this latest full length trailer gives fans the first in-depth look into what this season holds for viewers.

Bill and Ted 3 might get its long awaited release this Christmas, says the film’s executive producer, Steven Soderbergh. It’s been 30 years since the world was introduced to Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, a time traveling stoner comedy starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter as the titular duo. The film was popular enough to spawn a second film, Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey in 1991, and talk of a third film was long-running, to say the least....

When learning about science at a young age, it never hurts to make the process as fun as possible. After all, absorbing large amounts of complex information can be made much easier - and more attention-grabbing - if one only adds a little entertainment value to the equation. For a large swath of millennials, there was no more entertaining source for scientific knowledge than Bill Nye, a mechanical engineer turned TV host....

With the sheer volume of Marvel films being released as of the last few years, it can be hard to keep up. Marvel offered an all-in-one solution to catching up on their earlier films (leading up to the first Avengers) with a Phase One Blu-ray collection back in 2012, and now they are poised to unleash the next must-own for Marvel obsessives with the soon-to-be-released Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Two Collection....
