The Sexism Is Out There: Gillian Anderson Slams All-Male Team For 'The X-Files'
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully, and for Fox's continuing revival of The X-Files. Being a huge part of the sci-fi circuit since its inception in 1993, the show about aliens and abnormalities made household names of its stars David Duchovny and #GillianAnderson. With the latter going on to have a career resurgence thanks to roles in Hannibal and American Gods, as well as tipping herself to play James Bond, Anderson is one of Hollywood's leading ladies.

Ben There, Done That: Marisa Tomei Reflects On Uncle Ben's Legacy In 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'
As Jon Watts prepares to bring yet another web-slinging reboot to our screens with Spider-Man: Homecoming, the MCU is opening its arms to fully welcome Peter Parker into its fold of Hollywood hunks and comic book battles. Disney is certainly going for a "down with the kids vibe" with this updated take on Stan Lee's original creation: The 21-year-old #TomHolland will be offering a younger take on Web-Head, and will be joined by a much younger version of Aunt May. Marisa Tomei will be playing the sassy and single AILF (aunt I'd like to...) — but have we all forgotten about poor Uncle Ben?

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: David Harbour Promises to Bring Back Hellboy's Classic Look for 'Rise of the Blood Queen'
For those still hot under the collar about #NeilMarshall dragging #Hellboy out of the fiery depths of hell and rebooting from the #RonPerlman era, fear not, we are here to (once again) try and tell you that everything is going to be OK. We all know that Stranger Things star #DavidHarbour will be chomping on cigars and showing an affinity with cats in the graphic novel adaptation, and with every passing day, he looks more and more like the right man for the job — sorry, Perlfans.

Giving Us 'A New Hope': 'Han Solo' Sizzle Reel Reportedly Impressed Disney Executives
There is no denying that Disney's upcoming Han Solo anthology film has been in the (star) wars of late, but after a rough week, is the Millennium Falcon finally back on track with a new captain at the helm? After the departure of directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller for reportedly turning #HanSolo into some sort of laughing stock comedy, acclaimed director Ron Howard has stepped up to take over. With some last minute scrambling, and filming due to wrap within the next couple of weeks, there has definitely been a disturbance in the Force for our smuggler's standalone adventure.

Dead in the Water: 'The Walking Dead' Star Reveals Why It Will Never Cross Over With 'Fear the Walking Dead'
While one show about a rambling #zombie apocalypse would normally be enough for any network, it certainly hasn't stopped AMC from ruling from beyond the grave with both #TheWalkingDead and official spin-off #FearTheWalkingDead. As the main show readies its baseball bat for Season 8, its sister show has found itself a little lost at sea with the nautical adventure about the zombie outbreak.

Don't Be A Drag(On), Just Be A Queen: Emilia Clarke Won't Be Part Of 'Game Of Thrones' Spin-Off Shows
Spin-offs may be coming to Westeros, but HBO just lost another big player in its race to the Iron Throne of ratings. That's right, Daenerys Targaryen will not be taking flight for further adventures once Season 8 of Game of Thrones comes to an end. We all guess that the girl from Dragonstone will rule over what is left of King's Landing and the the Seven Kingdoms in just 13 episodes time, but don't be expecting her to take us on a "wish you were here" tour of the other realms in her own golden-haired spin-off.
