HBO Cancels ‘Game Change’ Follow-Up After Sexual Harassment Accusations By Ben Pearson/Oct. 27, 2017 12:00 pm EST After years of Hollywood turning a blind eye to terrible behavior within its industry, it seems as if the Harvey Weinstein scandal is actually inspiring companies to take action and distance themselves from perpetrators of that behavior. Whether they’re doing so cynically out of a sense of self-interest or out of a desire to actually do the right thing remains to be seen, but at least we’re moving in the right direction....

Lin-Manuel Miranda Wants To Join The Marvel Cinematic Universe As Carnage By Angie Han/Nov. 21, 2016 4:30 pm EST It sometimes feels like every working actor in existence has been in a superhero movie already, but technically that’s not true. There are plenty of actors who’ve only thought about being in superhero movies. Like Lin-Manuel Miranda, the certified genius behind Hamilton. While he hasn’t signed on for any Marvel or DC projects just yet, he’s apparently given some thought to which character he’d like to play, if given the chance....

New ‘Doctor Strange’ TV Spots Pile On More Marvelous Magic And Mysticism By Jacob Hall/Oct. 24, 2016 3:00 pm EST Doctor Strange is my favorite Marvel comic book character, so I’ve spent the past year-plus in suspense, waiting to see how director Scott Derrickson was going to bring this admittedly (dare I say strange?) odd character to the big screen. A bad Doctor Strange movie would be, for me, about as heartbreaking as a bad movie where Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman team up to fight Doomsday....
