Did Funko Accidentally Reveal A Major Spoiler For 'Thor: Ragnarok'?
A big problem with Marvel blockbusters is that there's big bucks to be made through merchandising. This means that the studio faces an uncomfortable trade-off when advertising a particular film's merchandise well before said film hits the box office. In the case of Thor: Ragnarok, Funko's upcoming toys for the film have been revealed but in the process, we may have actually just learned a huge spoiler about one of the film's characters: The Grandmaster.
Has King Arthur's Legendary Sword of Excalibur Finally Been Found?
We know surprisingly little about the truth behind the legends of King Arthur. Many historians believe a version of him really existed, but you have to look behind the myths to find the man. Arthur was probably a Roman-British leader who fought in defense of Briton during the late 5th and early 6th century. Most don't believe his sword glowed with the power of lightning, of course, and he only gained a mystical counselor named Merlin when Geoffrey of Monmouth merged some legends in the 12th century!
Emily VanCamp Reveals Agent Sharon Carter Almost Had a Cameo pn 'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.': Could It Still Happen?
Created all the way back in 1966, Sharon Carter was originally envisioned as the sister of Peggy Carter, and a love interest for Captain America. As the years passed, Marvel retconned her history so she became Peggy's great-niece, an idea that fits more effectively with the passage of time.

'The Gifted' Introduces Pulse, And Takes Another Step Toward 'Days Of Future Past'
Fox's latest X-Men spinoff, The Gifted, has introduced us to a dark dystopia in which the world's mutants are hated and feared. It's a world policed by Sentinel Services, where even an accidental use of a mutant power can be classified as an act of terrorism, and where mutant rights are pretty much nonexistent. Although the show doesn't (yet) feature any main X-Men characters, the series clearly pays homage to a wide range of classic comic book concepts.

JK Rowling Tops Richest Author List Again After Nearly a Decade
Who says a delayed train is a bad thing? Back in 1990, a dull wait on the line from Manchester to London gave single-mother J. K. Rowling a chance to sit back, relax, and dream up a wizarding world that would ultimately become an international sensation. No stranger to poverty, by 2008 Rowling was literally the wealthiest author in the world. Incredibly, almost a decade later, she's back at the top once again!
'Hollywood Is Racist' — Marvel's Chloe Bennet Speaks Out About Her Name-Change
It all began three days ago, when Ed Skrein shocked Hollywood. Rather than accept the whitewashing of a Japanese-American character he had been cast for, Skein instead chose to quit Neil Marshall's Hellboy reboot.

Now, Chloe Bennet — best known to Marvel fans as Agent Daisy Johnson in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. — has chipped in too.
