'Homecoming' Contains The Greatest Heroic Moment In Spider-Man's Movie History
Isn’t 2017 turning out to be a stellar year for comic book movies? Both Wonder Woman and Logan have already provided powerful scenes, such as Diana’s empowering, storming of No Man's Land or Logan's overwhelmingly sad death, which are so momentous that they will surely be revered for years to come. And although Spider-Man: Homecoming can’t quite match those two films in terms of raw power, Jon Watts' superheroic debut still manages to feature a standout scene in its final act that fans will surely be talking about for years to come.

Cottonmouth To Coulson: The 12 Most Underrated Performances In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
In the 10 years since it first graced our screens, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has gone from strength to strength — and when we look at the monumental cast list for each film, we can’t help but be astounded by the talent involved in the franchise. Many of these talented actors and actresses will come together for Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel's most ambitious project yet. Fans can't wait for the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, and Chris Pratt to finally be united on the silver screen. Yet while we cheer for the brilliantly portrayed heavy hitters of the MCU, there are some powerful performances that have been left by the wayside. And these performances deserve just as much praise.

Kevin Feige Reveals That Jason Statham Was Almost Cast In A Marvel Movie — But What Role Would He Play?
Recently, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has made a place for old-school action stars, from Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 to Michael Keaton in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Tom Holland's Spider-Thong Left Him Crawling Up The Walls During Production Of 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'
Isn’t Peter Parker’s new costume in Spider-Man: Homecoming a thing of beauty? Sleek, comic book accurate and packed with Stark tech, it’s one of the boldest and most crowd-pleasing costumes that we’ve seen in recent years. The costume is certainly packing plenty of bells and whistles, but if you were to wear it in real life you’d soon discover that it’s very far from being a sophisticated — or even comfortable — piece of clothing. #TomHolland has already had his fair share of embarrassment with Spider-Man suits, but that pales in comparison to his time on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming, where he was distressed about the damage that the costume could do to his derriere!

'Deadpool 2': Ryan Reynolds Reveals The Merc With A Mouth's New Teenage Companion On Instagram
Production on Deadpool 2 is already underway, but that hasn’t stopped new director David Leitch from adding to the film's already star-studded cast. The first Deadpool movie put Brianna Hildebrand on the map in her role as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, but Leitch is turning to an already-established young actor to accompany Wade Wilson in the sequel. Step aside Negasonic Teenage Warhead, because the Merc with a Mouth has another teenager in tow... and oh look, Deadpool’s giving him a piggyback ride!

'Superman: Red Son' Writer Says Warner Bros. Might Be Russian To Make A Movie Version
Justice League is the next big-screen outing for Henry Cavill's Superman, but if recent tweets from a DC Comics writer are to be believed, we may eventually be seeing Superman on our screens in quite a different way than expected. That's because Warner Bros. is apparently considering a live-action adaptation of a particularly bold Superman storyline.

We laughed and we cheered when a fully-fledged Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) leapt into action for his 2015 solo movie and again in Captain America: Civil War. However, as plenty of fans will know, it was a rocky road getting there.

Why Steve & Diana's Chat About Sex Is A Crucial Scene In 'Wonder Woman'
Raking in the cash and inspiring kids and women alike, Wonder Woman is a smash hit. This success is due not only to its well-structured story and the perfect cast but also because of its fresh perspective. In particular, fans have found the optimism that’s borne through her fight with Ares to be a welcome light in the pervading grimness of the #DCEU. Yet moviegoers have also responded to how empowering the film is; the No Man’s Land assault is already becoming a pivotal moment in superhero movie history, but the film also contains another, less-discussed scene that’s just as key to understanding the ethos of Wonder Woman.
