How Doctor Strange's Cloak Was Inspired By A Different 'Galaxy' Of Characters!
In a world of mouldy-eyed villains, whitewashed women, and two appearances of #BenedictCumberbatch, there was one true shining star of #Marvel's #DoctorStrange. Stephen Strange's Cloak of Levitation "levitated" the attack on the London sanctum from your standard #MCU action scene to comedy gold. Rarely have we seen fabric steal a scene so well — at least, not since the magic carpet from Disney's Aladdin. However, according to Strange's visual effects supervisor Stephane Ceretti, the cape has its Groots in a difference franchise.

Dawn Of The Dread: 'The Walking Dead' Creator Is Bringing The Series To An End
While we all joke that it is the never-ending story of the zombie apocalypse, are Image Comics and AMC's versions of The Walking Dead both heading past their sell-by date?

First Game of Thrones toppled TWD as the most-watched show on cable TV, then creator #RobertKirkman admitted that he has started packing his bags for the franchise's swansong.

Mum's The Word: Does Thandie Newton Play Tessa Thompson's Mother On 'Westworld'?
It may have taken six episodes of #HBO's #Westworld for Tessa Thompson to turn up as Delos Board Executive Charlotte Hale, but the character promises to play a major part in the final four episodes. However, is Thompson really just a boring board member, or could there be something more to the #Creed actresses role? I, for one, certainly think so — this is Westworld, after all.

The Time Has Come: 'Once Upon A Time' Gets First Trailer And Premiere Date
Polish your poison apples and roll out the magic carpet because Once Upon a Time is back. The fairytale saga is preparing to write a new chapter ahead of its Season 7 release after Season 6 wrapped up the past six years of Storybrooke.

Did 'The Walking Dead'Just 'Trump' The Election Coverage With Donald Trump Walker?
Just when you think you have heard the weirdest #DonaldTrump news possible in the run up to the 2016 election, #TheWalkingDead goes and waves a big, rotten, p*ssy grabbing hand in front of your face. Did #AMC's zombie-romp really include a Donald Trump walker?

Can You Brie-lieve It: Let's Talk About The Captain Marvel Easter Egg In Doctor Strange!
Warning: mild SPOILERS for Doctor Strange ahead! There was no denying that #DoctorStrange was a "Marvel-lous" trip onto the astral plane, and we are still trying to recover from our motion sickness to unravel the film. #Marvel are well-known for their #EasterEggs, and we have been hunting high and low to find hints of the upcoming #MCU. Now, thanks to director Scott Derrickson, we could have confirmation of a certain lycra-clad heroine is arriving sooner than expected.

Place Your Alpha-bets: Who Will Play The Next Villain On 'The Walking Dead'?
We may only just be getting to grips with Jeffrey Dean Morgan's #Negan and his "vampire bat" Lucille, but as you know well with #TheWalkingDead, there is always something much worse around the corner. How about a group who dress themselves in the skin of the dead as a way to blend in? Imagine the scene from Season 1 where Rick and Glenn (RIP) douse themselves in Walker guts, but 1000 times worse.
