Why Zendaya's Michelle Is the Perfect Love Interest for This Peter Parker
(Warning - Spoilers for Spider-Man: Homecoming to follow) Spider-Man: Homecoming has finally hit theatres to tremendous applause with a current 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. I just got back from the theatres and my inital thoughts are that this was such a different take on Spider-Man but also #superheroes as a whole. This was essentially a young adult take on the web-slinger and I loved it!

How Marvel Can Make a Solo Hulk Film!
Ever since we saw Mark Ruffalo's performance as Bruce Banner in The Avengers, people have been asking why the big green fan-favorite has yet to receive his own solo movie. Sure, we got The Incredible Hulk starring Edward Norton before he was recast by Mark Ruffalo, but we have no sequel actually starring Ruffalo.

Are Marvel and Sony Still Developing an Aunt May Movie?
Late 2014 was a wild ride for Spider-Man fans as Sony loosened their grip of the titular character and started sharing rights with Marvel Studios and an amazing partnership was born from the ashes of The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. Before that though, there was a flurry of rumors surrounding how Sony was going to create a universe consisting of all Spider-Man characters; something we're seeing with Sony's upcoming Venom, Black Cat and Silver Sable films.

One Book's Tragic Tale Of A Batman Animator's 'Dark Night'!
The year is 1993 and acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series is making waves in the animation world, but how many of you have heard of Paul Dini? Something of a big deal in the early '90s, the DC animator was not only a driving force behind the Emmy-Award-winning show, but a co-creator of Harley Quinn. Arguably without Dini, the Batman world would have missed out on some serious history and Margot Robbie would be short on at least one major film role. Dini was living a life not dissimilar to that of Bruce Wayne - fast cars, fast women, and buying anything he wanted. It was one tragic night in 1993 that the animator's life changed forever. When walking home, Dini came under attack from two men; the animator was mugged and had his skull partially fractured, as well as 'powdered'. Whilst recovering from his injuries, Dini dived deeper into the Batman world than any of us should ever go - this is that story!

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Refuses To Say 'Bat's All' To Thomas Wayne And The DCEU!
Not content with life as Watchmen's Comedian, or his blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it looks like Jeffrey Dean Morgan wants to once again return to the world of superheroes. Jeffrey is certainly no stranger to dark comic book adaptations, but could The Walking Dead actor be the next man to slip on the cape and cowl of the Dark Knight? Don't worry, Ben Affleck isn't going anywhere yet, but Dean Morgan has expressed interest in reprising his role as Thomas Wayne if there were ever a Flashpoint movie!

Ben Affleck’s Batman Movie: What We Need To See In His Solo Outing
To borrow a phrase from Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight (2008) “It’s a funny world we live in...” It really is, especially when we think of how much the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman was derided upon its announcement back in 2013... and here we are three years on, and he has been one of the most praised things about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (bar a few criticisms about his killing, of course).

Casting The Bat Family: Actors And Actresses Who Could Join Ben Affleck In 'The Batman'
Ben Affleck is Batman, and this Batman is taking the franchise in his own direction after Justice League. Ben Affleck is currently writing and will be directing his own solo outing as Batman, and there is already so much Batman lore currently built inside the DCEU, that he has plenty of inspiration to draw from.

From TARDIS To MCU: 9 'Doctor Who' Actors That Played Comic Book Characters
It's quite surprising the amount of actors who have gone from #DoctorWho to superhero films and TV. Even if we just look at #NuWho, there have been a fair few actors who have moved on to superhero media — some in the #MCU, whereas others occupy the #Arrowverse — whether small cameos or leading roles. Seriously, there's more than you might think.

One Year Later: Fantastic Four's Writer Reveals His Original Story, and It Sounds Amazing!
The Fantastic Four have not had the smoothest of rides with regards to transitioning from comic books to the silver screen. In two separate film incarnations, Marvel's first family has stumbled. Neither of the two versions of the characters has grasped the imagination of the audience and there seems to be a malaise surrounding the characters now. But, without the intervention of the producers, it could have been so different.

Sony and Marvel Will Work Together to Make a Spider-Man Movie Universe
After eight years, Spider-Man has finally joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tom Holland's appearance as Marvel's flagship hero in Captain America: Civil War was a triumph for Marvel Studios, and it all happened thanks to an agreement with Sony. In early 2015, the news we had all waited for broke after Sony and Marvel agreed to a deal that would allow Spider-Man to appear alongside the likes of Iron Man, Captain America and the rest of Marvel's heroes.

The MCU Contract Situation: How Many Films Does Your Favourite Marvel Hero Have Left?
Here we are, well ensconced within Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the MCU continues to impress. Captain America: Civil War was, in my opinion, the best superhero film ever, so it is safe to say we are off to a good start. We're now 13 films in (I know, it really doesn't feel like it!), so I thought it might be good to have a look where we stand with regards to the actors' contract situation. It is well documented that each of the main stars signs multi-film deals, so 13 films in some are bound to be running out. Let's have a look at the state of play:
