Scarlett Johansson Reveals 'Avengers: Infinity War' Will Address the Black Widow/Hulk Relationship
Although 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron easily broke $1 billion at the global box office, it's generally regarded by fans as one of the weaker movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of the most heavily criticized aspects of the film is the portrayal of Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, who became something of a 'damsel in distress' — and seemed on the verge of a romantic relationship with Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner. This was a somewhat left-field development, both to fans of the movies and to traditional comic book readers.
'Stargate' Returns In A New Digital Adventure, 'Stargate Origins'
It all began in 1994, with the release of the first Stargate movie. The decades that followed saw a series of hit sci-fi shows, Stargate: SG1, Stargate: Atlantis, and the ill-fated Stargate Universe. At San Diego Comic-Con 2017, MGM has revealed that we're about to step back through the Gate and return to the worlds we know and love. It's time to learn the secret origin of the Stargate!

Fresh From The Thrills and Spills of 'Logan,' Dafne Keen Lands Her Next Lead Role
Superhero films are big business, and a lot of experienced Hollywood actors are trying to break into them. 12-year-old Dafne Keen had no such problems; her acting career was launched with this year's Logan, arguably the moodiest and most raw superhero movie of all time.

Marvel Comics Publishing Official Preludes To 'Black Panther' And 'Infinity War', With Original (Canon) Content
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is more than just a blockbuster range of movies; it's supported by a wide range of shows, one-shots and official tie-in comics as well. In recent months, some of the so-called 'prelude' comics have been a little lackluster, serving merely as recaps, and recounting events we've already seen on screen. Now, excitingly, we've learned that the preludes for Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War seem a lot more promising!
Not So Fantastic Anymore: Why The Fantastic Four Will Never Rise Again
Created back in 1961, there was a time when the Fantastic Four were #Marvel Comics superstars. Now though, things don't look great for Marvel's First Family. Fox's first attempt at creating a Fantastic Four film franchise came to a disappointing end when Rise of the Silver Surfer failed to gain fan or critical acclaim. Meanwhile, the 2015 reboot is much-derided, largely because of Josh Trank's off-brand vision and studio interference. There are rumblings that Fox is toying with another Fantastic Four project, likely more to ensure Marvel don't get the film rights back than anything else, but few fans are positive about this idea.

In a stunning cast of award-winners and scene-stealers, one name in particular is rising to prominence: Letitia Wright, who will play Black Panther's sister Shuri. In the comics, she's a popular character who ultimately became the Black Panther when T'Challa was forced to stand aside. But, as much-loved as she may be, it seems that Shuri is being subtly rewritten for her #MCU debut. Let's take a look at the role this exciting new character is set to play...
Disclosure Of The BBC's Top-Earning Stars Re-Ignites Global Gender Wage Gap Debate
Just how much is a celebrity worth? We've seen heated debate over celebrity pay over the last couple of years, especially in light of the gender pay gap between men and women in Hollywood. The last few days, though, have seen the UK embroiled in a similar debate, after the BBC disclosed details of their 96 employees who earn more than £150,000 a year. From Doctor Who to Strictly Come Dancing, the pay details have given us a window into a world that's a lot more unequal than we had ever realized.

'We're Working On It Right Now': Channing Tatum Confirms Gambit Movie Is Still In The Works
Fox's X-Men franchise has never been healthier, but in a strange twist, it's not because of the main tentpole films. No, Fox is flourishing with a series of innovative superhero films that dare to take risks with the genre. From Deadpool to Logan, these films stand apart from the main narrative of the X-Men universe, and will soon be joined by Josh Boone's New Mutants.
