Agatha All Along creator Jac Schaeffer addressed Wiccans potential future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the Disney+ series, Billy Maximoff/Wiccan is played by Heartstopper breakout Joe Locke, who initially went through a six-month audition process before officially landing the role.

During a recent interview with ScreenRant, when asked if she was interested in doing a Young Avengers project with Wiccan, Schaeffer admitted that, although she loves the characters involved, she really doesnt have an idea about it. "I don't have anything for that, but I love those characters, and really, I love the actors," she shared. "I just think if Young Avengers were to happen like, man, that is a murderer's row. It would be great." Besides Agatha All Along, Schaeffer was also the head writer for WandaVision, which earned her two Emmy nominations: Outstanding Limited Series and Outstanding Writing in a Limited Series. Following the success of...

Joker: Folie Deux is set to end its already embarrassing box-office run on a whimper. The derided Joker sequel gets laughed out of thousands of theaters as it nears its digital release.

According to Collider, Folie Deux will lose screens during its fourth weekend in cinemas thanks to the debut of Sony's Venom: The Last Dance, which is expected to exceed box-office expectations during its debut. After playing at 2,800 theaters in North America last weekend, the Joker follow-up will only show in 1,200 locations this coming weekend, one of the biggest dropoffs for a comic book movie ever. Jonah Hex and The Crow remake suffered worse fates, getting taken out of 2,400 theaters during their third weekends.

A former Batman series star pans the ending of Joker: Folie Deux, though he offers some good feedback for the widely panned comic book film.

As the final episodes of Agatha All Along inch closer and closer with every passing week, fans find themselves more and more intrigued by the mysteries the show's been spinning. Some of them have been solved already. Teen's identity came to light at the end of the fifth episode, and the sixth explained a lot of his backstory. Agatha learned during the fifth episode that absorbing other witches' powers won't do anything to help her get her own purple back, as she so eloquently put it, and there are constant hints as to what went south between Agatha Harkness and her mysterious ex-lover Rio Vidal.

However, for every question that gets answered, two more spring up. When the truth about Teen's identity came out, fans began to wonder what exactly the young man wanted from the Witches' Road - and the answer could have heartbreaking implications for the rest of the series.

Agatha All Along has continued to make changes to stories audiences thought they knew in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the most recent change concerns the responsibility for Scarlet Witch's death. While Scarlet Witch's status in the MCU has been made abundantly clear, details of the character continue to impact the universe. With Agatha All Along episode 6 explaining what happened to Scarlet Witch's sons, important context is provided for understanding Wanda's heel-turn that took place in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Following rumors that have swirled since the series began, Agatha All Along has re-introduced Billy Maximoff, leading to questions about where his brother Tommy could be. Wanda Maximoff's family from WandaVision seems to be at the center of many of the new series' events, and it appears that the program intends to provide a great deal of additional context to WandaVision. One of the most notable new...

WandaVision concluded with the original Vision, rebuilt by S.W.O.R.D. to do as they command, attempting to kill Wanda Maximoff and his Hex double. The latter seemingly restored his doppelganger's memories during their battle, prompting the presumably emotionless "White Vision" to fly away to parts unknown.

Marvel Studios and Marvel Television will continue that story in Disney+'s upcoming Vision series and there's a great deal of intrigue surrounding the project.

We know that James Spader will return as Ultron, while it's been widely reported that the Disney+ series will also adapt elements of West Coast Avengers and Tom King's Vision series. There have even been rumblings that we'll see James D'Arcy and Kerry Condon play human versions of Edwin Jarvis and F.R.I.D.A.Y.

It feels like Vision is going to be a wonderfully weird ride, and a new rumour has definitely piqued our interest.

The conclusion of the Infinity Saga has created a narrative gap for younger heroes to fill in the MCU, setting up the possibility of a Young Avengers project in Phase 6. Recent MCU projects have introduced young heroes and potential successors to the original Avengers, such as Wanda's sons, Kate Bishop, Kamala Khan, and America Chavez. Heroes like Cassie Lang and Kid Loki, who are connected to Kang the Conqueror, are likely to join a Young Avengers team to defend against Kang and recruit other young heroes. Avengers: The Kang Dynasty could be the opportunity to establish the team officially.

A new fan poster teams up the McU's young breakout heroes as Young Avengers. The conclusion of the Infinity Saga not only ended a massive narrative arc that had been built out over 10 years but also killed off some beloved heroes. And the heroes that survived are older and don't...

Ben Affleck's successful portrayal of Batman in the Dceu makes him a strong candidate for other iconic roles in the rebooted DC Universe. Casting Affleck in a different role could help alleviate some concerns about the upcoming Dcu reboot and appease fans of his Batman character. Affleck's experience and continued popularity make him a great choice for various DC Universe characters, showcasing his versatility and talent as an actor.

With Ben Affleck officially finished in the role of Batman, there are a number of roles that the actor would be perfect for within the rebooted DC Universe. Ben Affleck's tenure as Batman may not have been long-lasting, but it certainly proved that the actor is more than capable of bringing an iconic comic book character to life in live action. Though Affleck's brooding Batman initially proved somewhat divisive, he was able to win over many fans with his dark...

Some DC heroes' origins are less-known and not as charming as others, with some being downright gross. The Legion of Super-Heroes' Bouncing Boy got his ability to inflate and bounce around like a ball after drinking a plastic formula. Deadman was a trapeze artist who was killed during a show by a hook-handed member of the League of Assassins, starting his gloomy supernatural career.

The DC Universe is filled with superheroes who have awe-inspiring origin stories. From Superman rocketing to Earth to Flash being struck by lighting, the beginnings for many DC heroes are bold and iconic. But some superhero’s origins are less-known and not as charming as others. In fact, some are just downright gross.

To be fair, even heroes whose origins are over-the-top, downbeat, or even disturbing can rival the greats. But in a world where there are origins as notable as Batman’s, it’s interesting...

Warning: contains spoilers for Dark X-Men #2

The X-Men's Angel has become a terrifying version of himself thanks to the sadistic Madelyne Pryor. Warren Worthington III has experienced a loss of agency and control throughout his time in the X-Men, leading to difficult transformations and a damaged psyche. Madelyne, now known as the Goblin Queen, has teamed up with Orchis and is using a deformed Archangel to mercilessly slaughter a group of Morlock mutants.

In perhaps the most horrific evolution in X-Men history, the founding member Angel has been transformed into a nightmarish omen of death by a sadistic variant of Madelyne Pryor in Dark X-Men #2. Warren Worthington III first debuted in 1963's The X-Men #1 as the high-flying mutant hero Angel, but since his introduction, he has been subjected to years of torture and unwanted transformations, damaging his psyche permanently.

While Warren was first introduced as a highly independent, wealthy heir,...

The Dcu Chapter 1 will embrace a more loosely defined universe, allowing for both shared continuity and standalone director passion projects. Gal Gadot's inclusion in The Flash suggests that she may reprise her role as Wonder Woman in the new Dcu, despite Wonder Woman 3 not being in development. James Gunn's interest in Jonah Hex and the inclusion of lesser-known characters in Chapter 1 hint at the possibility of reintroducing the failed DC hero.

The Dcu is ramping up to start afresh, and there are a number of incredibly exciting theories circulating about Chapter 1 of the new franchise. The first attempt at a shared DC cinematic universe was plagued with issues, leading to the studio deciding to bring in a new creative team in order to find success. James Gunn and Peter Safran's appointment as co-heads of DC Studios brought with it the announcement that the franchise would be rebooted,...

Spider-Verse films should include more fan-made Spider-Man variants to keep up with the popularity and creativity of fans. Including fan-made variants like the Hex Spider would be a great way to showcase the diverse ideas of Spider-Man fans. Allowing fans to contribute their concepts to a big movie like Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse would be amazing and highlight their talent just like the recreated scene.

An iconic Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse scene has been perfectly recreated as a means to debut a fan-made Spider-Man variant. Since the release of 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the concept of Spider-Man variants has exploded into popularity. Be it through Spider-Man: No Way Home or Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, endless different versions of the Web-Slinger seem to be making their way into big-screen Spider-Man stories.

Now, an iconic sequence from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has been recreated by a fan...

If playing as a charismatic dark magician who can summon a small army of creatures is your thing, then Warlock may be the best class in Baldur’s Gate 3 for you. Unfortunately, even the most optimistic Warlock player may soon realize that the class can sometimes struggle to find a home in the later parts of the game. Well, at least they can if you’re not using the best Warlock build.

For this build, we’re going to be focusing on a powerful multiclass Warlock that lets us get the most out of the class’ combat potential by borrowing a few attributes from Sorcerers. It’s called a “Sorclock,” and I think you’re going to love what it can do.

As before, though, please note that Baldur’s Gate 3‘s online character-building tools are still being optimized. As such, I’m going to be writing out some of...

Comic book adaptations have been all the rage for the past decade. But while lots of fans think DC is lagging behind Marvel, it's still had some hits. There were the Synderverse films, Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy and the Arrowverse, to name a few. However, not every DC adaptation gets remembered so fondly.

DC has attempted to adapt its comic characters many times over. While a lot of these ventures have their fans, some just haven't left an impact. For every Dark Knight or Man of Steel, there are projects that DC would rather keep in the vault. Whether it be because of bad scripts, lack of interest or really terrible costumes, some DC adaptations have been totally forgotten.

Supergirl (1984)

The Christopher Reeves' Superman movies were some of the biggest films of their time. But they also had a pretty forgettable spinoff.

The upcoming summer film, The Flash, is resetting the DC Cinematic Universe. With it comes a whole new slate of interconnected films and television series, introducing more obscure DC characters to the public and giving classic ones another shot at onscreen glory. One of the upcoming projects in this new slate will be a series titled Lanterns, centered around the Green Lantern Corps. This effectively will give Green Lantern a chance at redemption after Ryan Reynolds' big-screen portrayal of Hal Jordan was met with critical and commercial failure.

However, 2011's Green Lantern hasn't been the only DC film to take a well-known character and do them injustice with their movie debut adaptation. In 2010, DC attempted to bring its rugged gun-slinging Western outlaw, Jonah Hex, to mainstream audiences with a movie of his own. Sadly, the film was similarly met with critical scorn and was largely ignored by moviegoers. With the new Dcu on its way,...

An awesome new piece of fan art shows how to resurrect Jonah Hex, DC’s best dead hero, in the modern day. Ringo and Eisner nominated creator Dan Schkade (Lavender Jack) shared a fun sketch that mashes up DC’s legendary Western character Jonah Hex with the nigh omnipotent Spectre. This unique hybrid is the perfect way to bring Jonah Hex into the modern era - and perhaps give him superpowers in the process.

Schkade shared the sketch in a Tweet, prefacing it by saying "any DC character can come back from the dead as long as they do their nickel as the Spectre." The visual is amusing, as the hard-bitten cowboy gets the Spectre's green cowl and snow-white skin. However, the idea is solid. Prior characters like Hal Jordan have indeed been resurrected after acting as the human host to the Spectre - the embodiment of vengeance in the DC Universe,...

Joining an illustrious list of honorees that includes Clint Eastwood, Amy Poehler and Geena Davis, Josh Brolin is set to receive the 2023 Sun Valley Film Festival’s Vision Award, which recognizes entertainment veterans for the impact on the industry. Brolin began his career more than 35 years ago as one of the stars of Richard Donner’s “The Goonies,” and he’s since won acclaim for work in films as varied as Ethan and Joel Coen’s “No Country for Old Men,” Oliver Stone’s “W.,” Gus Van Sant’s “Milk,” Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Inherent Vice,” Joe and Anthony Russo’s “Avengers: Infinity War” and its sequel, “Endgame,” and more.

That many of those high-profile roles came to him more than 20 years after becoming an actor isn’t something Brolin resents now — in fact quite the opposite. “That feels amazing as opposed to somebody who came out of the gate...
