Annie Get Your Gunn: James Gunn Plays Down A Full MCU Reboot After 'Avengers 4'
There could be trouble ahead, and I don't mean from the Mad Titan Thanos. If your surname is Stark, Rogers, or Banner, better get writing your resumé because it sounds like the whole state of Marvel's Cinematic Universe is up in the air. As we gallop toward the #MCU's 10th anniversary and a celebration with Avengers: Infinity War, it is only right that fans of the highest-grossing franchise in cinema start looking to the future.

Hair Today, Queen Tomorrow: We All Missed A Major Sansa Stark Easter Egg In The 'Game Of Thrones' Premiere
Raise your glasses — check the wine isn't poisoned — then make a toast to the King in the North. That's right, HBO's Game of Thrones is back and winter has well and truly come. Focusing on the ice side of its Ice and Fire saga, the Season 7 premiere kept most of its action toward the north of the Seven Kingdoms.

A 'Rock' To The System: Is Dwayne Johnson Out Of The 'Shazam!' Movie?
The superhero gloves are off and the cinematic universes are going head to head in the great box office battle. As DC tries to compete with Marvel more than ever, and the DCEU is expanding its slate at an exponential rate, the comic book powerhouse certainly has some catching up to do. With the MCU currently standing at 16 films and the DCEU at just four, #GeoffJohns is going full steam ahead with heroes beyond the likes of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Exit Through The Gift Shop: What Is Euron's 'Gift' To Cersei On 'Game Of Thrones'?
Stoke the fires and unfurl the dragons, because Game of Thrones is back. The Season 7 premiere of HBO's "A Song Of Ice and Fire" saga may have got off to a slow and snowy start, but it looks to be full steam ahead in the coming six episodes. However, away from our fan-favorites like the face-wielding Arya Stark and blonde bombshell Daenerys, there was a surprise newcomer for the "Best Performance" award.

Gray For Pay: 'The Last Jedi' Cast Hint At Major Gray Jedi Theory During D23
It could be a case of "these are not the Jedi you are looking for" when Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits cinemas in December. The Star Wars films have always been a battle between "good" and "bad," but expect Johnson's latest installment to muddy the waters more than Rey = good, Kylo = bad. The light side of the Force may be shining through with Daisy Ridley's Rey training as a Jedi, but expect things to get a little "gray" during Episode VIII.

The Wookiee Gets Some Nooky: New 'Han Solo' Picture Spoils Chewbacca's Story
Fire up the Falcon, because the Star Wars anthology movies are blasting off with Disney's Han Solo. While not much is known about where the smuggler's origin story will take us, at least we know that old friend Chewbacca will be on hand to hopefully steer the production to box office success. With #RonHoward taking over the reins of the troubled anthology film, the director clearly has a new vision for his movie, but could he also be bringing back a long-missing character to official #StarWars canon?

'Eye' Spy: Josh Brolin Shows Off Classic Cable Look At D23 Expo
Pffft, Thanos who? Those attending Disney's D23 Expo seem to be so wrapped up in all the Avengers footage and statues of Thanos, it looks like they forget about a whole different universe of hype just around the corner. Sure, 49-year-old #JoshBrolin may have been there mainly to boost ticket sales for #InfinityWar, but let's remember the other muscular menace who is about to be etched onto the actor's CV.

Night Of The Living Legacy: 'The Walking Dead' Producer Thanks George A. Romero For The Show
It's safe to say that if you're AMC's The Walking Dead, you quite literally owe your life to George A. Romero. The 77-year-old godfather of the zombie genre sadly passed away on July 16, leaving behind a legacy of movies, his own genre, and setting the bar of rotting flesh pretty damn high. Best known for crafting 1968's Night of the Living Dead, Romero pretty much coined the modern interpretation of the word "zombie."

On Yer' Broomstick: Daniel Radcliffe Helps Victim Slashed By Moped Attackers
Hollywood may be known for its nimble stuntmen, but it looks like Tom Cruise isn't the only star willing to do his own stunts — only this time, it isn't for the latest blockbuster. Remember when Tom Hardy chased that thief down the street? Well it seems there is another actor in the running for a role in the real-life Avengers. #HarryPotter star — and occasional wang-out horse harasser — Daniel Radcliffe was here to save the day during a recent knife attack in central London.

You Must Be Some Kind Of Supercar: Vin Diesel Explains Why The Fast Films Don't Have As Many Races
After continuing to rev our engines with excitement for years, is there anything that could stop the Fast and the Furious franchise? Looking back at the franchise's first entry in 2001, this year's The Fate of the Furious is a completely different beast that has undergone somewhat of a Pimp My Ride overhaul. No longer is it just street races and #VinDiesel scowling down some tarmac, we now have gritty espionage and Vin Diesel scowling down some tarmac.

Bros Before Shows: 'Sons Of Anarchy' Creator Slams 'The Walking Dead' For 'C*nt Move'
Foul language is never acceptable, but Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter is clearly more than a little peeved at AMC. The screenwriter has slammed The Walking Dead big wigs for a "c*nt move" regarding the sacking of Frank Darabont. Some may have noticed a change in tone in #TheWalkingDead between Seasons 1 and 3, which could have something to do with the behind-the-scenes drama and the very public dismissal of Darabont.

Wearing A Madge Of Dishonor: Sharon Stone Responds To Madonna After Being Called 'Mediocre'
As blonde bombshells go, both Madonna and Sharon Stone are two of the most fearsome women in Tinsel Town. I wouldn't fancy my chances against either the Material Girl or the spread legs of Catherine Tramell, but the two starlets could be about to go head to head. Picking your fights wisely is common sense these days, and we have already seen the various Taylor Swift/Katy Perry feuds tear pop culture apart. However, is there a new Swifty-esque skirmish on the horizon?
