Peter Park-Phwoar: Sexy Spider-Man Shoot Shows That He Isn't So Incy Wincy!
Spiders aren't exactly sexy, and neither is Peter Parker. Alongside the likes of Superman's Man of Steel abs and Thor's flowing golden hair, #Marvel's #SpiderMan is hardly a sex symbol — until now, that is. A new photoshoot is showing us just how sexy your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man really can be, rocking the whole Clark Kent vibe and giving us a peek under that red and blue lycra. Photographer Sarah Hester gives us another sexy dudeoir shoot that stops just short of #PeterParker covering us in his sticky white fluid.

'Metropolis' Turns 90: Rare Behind The Scenes Photos Show The Science Behind Science-Fiction
Since in 2017 we are used to Jon Watts giving us moving Spidey eyes, or Gareth Edwards CGI'ing Peter Cushing's face onto a Holby City actor, it is easy to see how we take the advances in modern cinema for granted. Heading back 90 years, and ushering in the the start of the #scifi genre as one of the most influential films ever, how does 1927's Metropolis look nine decades later? #FritzLang's German expressionist classic has seemingly stood the test of time, and as the grandfather of the genre, has gone on to influence everything from Blade Runner to Star Wars, and even Madonna. It is hard to imagine a world without #Metropolis which is a shame, as even after all these years, we have only ever managed to restore 95% of Lang's original.

My Hart-Nett Just Wasn't In It: Josh Hartnett Reveals Why He Rejected Playing Batman
From Hollywood heartthrob to fading into obscurity, early '00s darling #JoshHartnett had seemingly slipped off the map. While the 38-year-old Sin City actor is no Brendan Fraser, he is certainly remembered as one of cinema's missing actors (although he experienced something of a comeback in Showtime's Penny Dreadful and has seven projects lined up in 2017!). However, did you know that back when Christopher Nolan was hunting for a lead, Hartnett turned down the part of #Batman? In another case of, "Why didn't I do that?" Hartnett has opened up further about his brush with the bat in turning down the chance to play the Caped Crusader.

The Pros And Cons: Would It Be Mad To Have Mel Gibson Return To 'Mad Max'?
With news that Tom Hardy is ready to head back out into the dusty desert for at least two more outings as the titular "mad" Max, this leaves a big question about where George Miller's universe will go next. The Mad Max franchise lay in limbo for 30 years before the release of 2015's Fury Road, so hopefully the wait won't be as long this time around. It looks like Hardy is in it for the long rung, so where does this leave Mel Gibson's original iteration of the iconic character?

Taking The Biscuit: Did 'Sesame Street' Turn Cookie Monster Into Veggie Monster?
Alongside giant birds, effeminate elephants, and a squeaky-voiced Elmo, Cookie Monster has become a staple of the #SesameStreet diet. He has become a part of pop culture lore, even parodied in the likes of Family Guy while begging for his fix of those gooey-centered choc chip cookies. I remember growing up in a time that #CookieMonster released his own line of cookies, which probably would be banned nowadays due to additives and sugar — it is SunnyD all over again.

Flying Solo: 'Han Solo' Directors Were Reportedly Fired Due To Huge Lucasfilm Clash
Those pesky #StarWars anthology films sure have a tough time of it, don't they? From Josh Trank's Boba Fett movie being cancelled just moments before it was to be announced, to the major reshoots on Gareth Edwards's Rogue One, and now the departure of directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord just three weeks before #HanSolo wraps filming, it seems like they're are all getting off to rough starts.

A '90s Nightmare: Are 'Kindergarten Cop' And 'Silent Hill' Set In The Same Universe?
Now listen carefully children, hands up if anyone remembers Ivan Reitman's 1990 feel-good kid's film Kindergarten Cop? Of course you do. Featuring tough-guy #ArnoldSchwarzenegger in his plaid suit as he takes on a class of rambunctious children as Det. John Kimble, who could forget it? Well, your fuzzy dose of #90s nostalgia is about to take a turn for the macabre, so don't say we didn't warn you.

Seeing Red and Green With Envy: Disney Is Being Sued By 'Inside Out' Copyright Claimant
It looks like there will be some red, angry faces in the latest lawsuit to face the acclaimed House of Mouse. Even a huge company like #Disney isn't averse to the odd scandal over the years, but now it finds itself in some pretty hot water thanks to one of its best-loved films. We all remember the joyful tone of 2015's #InsideOut, Richard Kind's addictive Bing Bong Song, and a heartwarming tale about family life.

What's Red And Black And Kills All Over? Carnage Is Officially Coming To Sony's 'Venom' Solo Movie
As Sony prepares to pump some #Venom into its Spideyverse, and Tom Hardy tries on a snug-fitting symbiote costume, the studio's once failing #SpiderMan hopes the franchise could finally be back on track. With Eddie Brock/Venom being one of the best-known villains from Peter Parker's rogues' gallery, fans are chomping at the bit for Sony to deliver us a well-deserved outing for the alien hybrid — especially considering the disaster of Topher Grace in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3.

You Can't 'Cage' Xander: Vin Diesel Is Officially Coming Back In 'xXx 4'
Say what you want about #VinDiesel, but the lovable lug from California is right up there with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as big business in cinemas these days. Best known for his role as Dominic Toretto in the Fast and Furious franchise, some forget that he is also cinema's very own XL James Bond, playing Xander Cage in the #xXx films.

And 'Glenn' There Were None: Steven Yeun Wants Glenn Back On 'The Walking Dead'
There two things you can guarantee during an acting stint on AMC's #TheWalkingDead: a nice little bump to your Hollywood star power and a grisly demise just around the corner. With creators promising that even #AndrewLincoln's gnarled Rick Grimes isn't safe from the Grim Reaper, the show is basically a game of "Guess Who ?" for which character is next to kick the bucket.
