Robert Downey Jr. Weaves A Web Of Praise For Tom Holland's 'Perfect' Spider-Man Skills
Spider-Man: Homecoming introduces Tony Stark as a mentor to a 15-year-old Peter Parker, who is simultaneously developing into the man he wants to be and coming into his own as a hero. And it seems as though Robert Downey Jr. couldn't have asked for a better protege, telling News Corp Australia that Tom Holland, the young actor tasked with holding his own as Spider-Man opposite RDJ, is just "a really good dude"—just as you'd expect from Peter Parker.

Could We See These 6 Classic DC Characters Cameo On SyFy's Man of Steel Prequel 'Krypton'
If we're honest, the prequel comic book adaptation to television has been a challenge at times. With Batman and Superman being two of the most iconic characters in comic books, it makes sense that they would both have prequel stories that delved into their origins on screen with #Gotham and #Smallville. Yet with the transition to TV, fans haven't always been satisfied with how the iconic characters have been portrayed.

Mark Ruffalo 'Spoils' The Ending Of 'Avengers: Infinity War' Because We All Needed To Be Trolled
Avengers: Infinity War is one of the most anticipated films in decades; there's no denying how massive an undertaking this has been for Marvel Studios. Infinity War will bring together the largest collection of heroes that we've ever seen on screen to face the world-ending threat of Thanos. Naturally, with all these moving pieces, it can be hard for Marvel actors to remember what they're allowed to talk about and what they've got to keep under wraps.

8 Characters You (Probably) Didn't Notice Were Re-Cast?
We've seen it in a few movies where a main character is replaced by a different character in sequels, though it's more uncommon to see the same character re-cast with a new actor - but sometimes it happens. Just look at the Thor films: in 2011, Josh Dallas (Once Upon A Time) portrayed the character, Fandral, but in the followup Thor 2: The Dark World, Zachary Levi (Heroes Reborn, Chuck) played Fandral. Other character re-casts include: Batman, The Incredible Hulk, Freddy Krueger and a few others; but the sequel effect is bound to happen, especially when it takes several years to develop films for production. So it's interesting to watch a television show replace actors; sometimes between seasons and other times between episodes within the same season.

6 'Captain America: Civil War' Characters You Didn't Know Were So Important
Sometimes the most enjoyable part of being a comic book geek/fan/nerd/lover is catching subtle hints that point to something from our vast wealth of comic book knowledge within the movies we love so much.

These are six of the characters that appear in Captain America: Civil War that actually hold quite a lot of weight in the original comic book story that the movie is based on, although you might not get that from the film.

7 Actors Who Left Their Hit Shows For The Best And Worst Reasons
Television actors are a fickle group of stars — and I'm not saying that they are difficult, or that their loyalties shift over time, or anything like that. What I'm saying is that sometimes television actors have one of the hardest jobs in Hollywood: Returning day after day, month after month, year after year to the same character is hard. Even us regular people sometimes struggle with the repetitive act of going to work day after day, month after month — you get the idea. Yet, it's what we do. It's how we get paid and make it through to the next day.

Wait? 'Metroid's' Samus Aran Is Really A Guy?!
Back in the day, Metroid was my game. I loved jumping into the power suit and taking Samus for a spin. Part of what I loved about Metroid was that it wasn't just a standard side-scroller, there was some actual thought that had to go into the game to succeed.

A History of Crazy: Harley Quinn
There is a lot of division among fans when it comes to the upcoming portrayal of Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad. Some are all aboard the Margot train (myself included) and others aren't all that excited for what we're going to see and were hoping for something different altogether. Regardless of your opinion on what you think about Margot Robbie or her upcoming portrayal of the clown princess, it's coming and it's going to be a spectacle. With her upcoming first live-action appearance I thought it would be useful to take a look at Harley Quinn's evolving story within the whole of DC Comics and Animation.

Calling All Carol Corps: What Should We Look Forward To When Captain Marvel Joins The MCU?
If you've read any of my previous pieces about the future of the MCU or my favorite characters in general, then you probably know by now that there is one character that I've been dying to see on screen, Captain Marvel. She's been one of my favorite characters for as long as I can remember, so as you can imagine, when Marvel announced that she would have a solo film, I was a little beside myself with excitement. It was probably something like this:

Dropping The Ban-Hammer: 12 Games Banned Across The World
Video games have a way to either unify or segregate players, and apparently countries as well. We don't often run into banned games in the United States, but it seems to be more of a regular occurrence across the world.
