All Hail Madame Hydra: Is Aida Developing Emotions & Falling For Fitz On 'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season 4?
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has dived head-first into the madhouse-mirror world of the Framework, and one character has just become even more important; Mallory Janson's Aida. It seems Aida wasn't content with just overseeing the Framework; she's installed a version of herself within it, ruling this twisted virtual reality as Madame Hydra. But is it possible that things have become even more dire than we know?

The Supernatural Science of Marvel's Ghost Rider Has Infinite Potential for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Doctor Strange introduced magic to the Marvel Cinematic Universe — but it did so in a fascinating way, ensuring that sorcery coexists perfectly with the science-based universe we've seen so far. At the same time, over in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel Television explored some more supernatural ideas — from Ghost Rider to the Darkhold. Now, Jed Whedon and Jeffrey Bell have indicated how these supernatural concepts fit into the wider MCU.

The Jedi Fall & The First Order Rise: 3 Flashback Scenes we Have to See in 'Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi'!
Star Wars: The Force Awakens relaunched the Star Wars franchise for a new era, introducing us to a Galaxy Far, Far Away that's radically changed. The Empire may have fallen, but the First Order has risen from its ashes, plunging the Galaxy into darkness once again! The relaunched franchise has been supported by a range of canon comics and novels, but the intriguing thing is that those tie-ins have avoided showing us certain key moments. There's only one possible reason; with rumors of flashbacks in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, surely these three key scenes have to be reserved for the films?

'Jessica Jones' Season 2: With Nuke's Return Heavily Hinted, Here's How He Could Link To 'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.'
The Defenders may have finished filming, but Marvel Netflix is already hard at work once again, as Jessica Jones Season 2 has officially started production. Season 1 was a tense, atmospheric psychological thriller, presenting Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones as a survivor of psychological (and sexual) abuse. But it also set the groundwork for Season 2, revealing a secret conspiracy to develop super-soldiers, and setting up Wil Traval's Nuke as a potential recurring foe. No surprise, it looks as though Wil Traval is set to reprise the role — but it may be a lot more important than we realized...

Batman and the Flash Are Diving Deep into the Mysteries of DC's Rebirth
Launched in May 2016, DC's "Rebirth" arc has transformed the comic industry. It's refreshed DC's entire line of titles, brought comic book sales to a 20-year peak, and revealed DC's answer to Marvel's 'Legacy Heroes'. But perhaps the most impressive aspect of "Rebirth" is that it's essentially a mystery story that will be told over the course of two years - ultimately revealing who stole time from the DC universe, destroyed countless relationships, and why they did it!

Is 'Logan' Set in The Mainstream X-Men Timeline? Fox Doesn't Seem to Know...
Pretty much since Logan was first announced, fans have struggled to work out the film's impact on the overall X-Men continuity. A recent interview with director James Mangold revealed that the film is set in 2029, mainly because Mangold wanted "elbow-room" not to be overly concerned with continuity. Now, though, Hugh Jackman himself has contradicted Mangold — he claims the film takes place in a "slightly different universe" to the main movie continuity!
