'Holey' Moley: Ryan Murphy Shares Terrifying New Monster From 'American Horror Story'
It is that time of year again, where we all scratch our heads and stare at our screens in confusion saying "dafuq?" Ryan Murphy is once again hyping the horror of FX's American Horror Story in the run-up to Season 7 and an election-themed year. With AHS alumni like Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters on board, we also have newcomers like Billie Lourd and Leslie Grossman to up the ante in dread stakes, but still no idea what Murphy's presidential plan is.

Stone The Crows: George R.R. Martin Disagrees With One Major 'Game Of Thrones' Change
There is no denying that HBO's Game of Thrones is one of the biggest spectacles ever to grace the small screen. Turning George R.R. Martin's acclaimed Song of Ice and Fire saga into an eight-season show is no mean feat, while showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have now started using the novels as only a rough guide to where they are taking their own vision.

Piecing Together The Puzzle: Directors Give Us A First Look At 'Jigsaw'
For six years and seven installments, we saw pretty much everyone get mangled, maimed, and mauled by the Saw franchise. Starting a horror revolution back in 2004, the final installment — ironically dubbed "The Final Chapter" — was just a shadow of its former glory as the series hobbled off into the distance like Dr. Gordon himself. However, seeming to round off the tales of those who were still alive, the Jigsaw case file seemed closed. Well, that was until now.

Eyes On The Prize: Cyclops Gets A New Visor In 'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' Set Picture
It's time to stick on some blue spandex and your glasses, because Cyclops is back for X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Tye Sheridan is reprising his role as the visored hero from Bryan Singer's lackluster X-Men: Apocalypse, and it looks like Cyclops will have a new look to go with his new film. Once again taking on the infamous "The Dark Phoenix Saga," we are "eyeing" a substantial part for Sheridan to play in the next feature, but personally, I'm still waiting for news on where Jubilee is!

It's A Dead Cert: Which 'Game Of Thrones' Character Would Kit Harington Resurrect?
There are two things inevitable on HBO's Game of Thrones: a cold snap, and the sweet embrace of death. As we roll out the dragons in the final two seasons of the epic Ice and Fire saga, there aren't too many characters still knocking around in Westeros. With some 150,000 deaths across the past six seasons — and more sure to come in Season 7 — taking a leaf out of the Bee Gees book and "Stayin' Alive" is a lot harder than you might think.

The Grapes Of Roth: Tim Roth Says He Is Out Of The MCU
It looks like the expanding MCU has lost another of its big stars, and just as we head into Avengers: Infinity War. Promising to be the team-up of all team-ups, the good and the bad of Marvel are looking to take on the Mad Titan Thanos in the two-part #Avengers ensemble. Basically, it seems like it's now or never for many of the #MCU's forgotten characters, but #TimRoth has confirmed he won't be back as Emil Blonsky.

Shia LaBeouf Admits Severe Addiction After Racist Outburst And Arrest
We all know that being a celebrity isn't all drinking champagne and eating Beluga caviar, and sometimes the lavish lifestyles and the constant media scrutiny can lead to things getting a little out of hand with the law. Another one of Hollywood's glitterati is going through a rough patch of late, and #ShiaLaBeouf is the latest actor to very publicly face their demons. Alongside Christian Bale, it looks like LaBeouf is becoming one of the most volatile celebrities out there after his latest arrest.

A 'Bite' Future Ahead Of Us: Did 'Jurassic World' Just Reveal Its New Weaponized Dinosaur?
Its time to do some digging, because it looks like fans of J.A. Bayona's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom have just unearthed some dino-sized news. As the sequel to 2015's Jurassic World, Bayona's film promises to be the biggest "Jurassic" adventure yet. Apart from an all-star cast of old and new faces, we still don't know what to expect, but rumors suggest that we could be introduced to a particularly toothy newcomer when the film is released in June 2018.

Planet Of The Stereotypes: 'Black Panther' To Retire Outdated Character Name
As we prepare to put on a pair of vibranium claws, Ryan Coogler's Black Panther is set to mark a milestone for the MCU and comic book movies everywhere. Bringing the very first black superhero in mainstream American comics to cinemas for the first time is no mean feat, but #BlackPanther looks set to continue the #MCU's winning streak. However, as diverse as the cast and the movie's intentions are, T'Challa was introduced in 1966 during a very different time in race relations. It is safe to say that Black Panther has certainly picked up some outdated stereotypes along the way.

That's My Gal: 'Wonder Woman' Takes The DCEU Past $3 Billion Worldwide
Is it any wonder that we are still talking about Wonder Woman? Being the first big screen adventure for Diana Prince, containing Chris Pine's rippling abs, and Gal Gadot's impressive physique, the film has more than enough to keep us yapping, but now the film has smashed another record. A slew of positive reviews and a scorching box office success has lead to #WonderWoman being given a green light on a sequel, and has revived the reputation of the #DCEU.

No More Monkey Business: Matt Reeves Says 'The Batman' Is His New Apes Franchise
It sounds like it is time to stop "monkeying" around, as Matt Reeves is ready to move on from War for the Planet of the Apes and turn his attention to The Batman. Swapping simians for bats, the director is finally on track to unfurl the Dark Knight's wings and bring us the first #Batman solo film since Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. However, although #MattReeves will be putting his own stamp on the DC staple, it sounds like he will be taking some heavy influence from his two Apes films to bring #TheBatman to life.

A Fresh Cup Of Joe(y): Insane Theory Says 'Friends' Was A Starbucks Marketing Ploy
Even 13 years after we left Monica's apartment and shuffled off that lumpy sofa at Central Perk, you can still guarantee that Friends fan theories will "be there for you." Alongside Ross being a bad father, a real Joey Tribbiani, and a meth-addled Phoebe Buffay, tinfoil hat theorists have another doozy to remind us why the show was so great in the first place.
