Pop a 'Cap' in Your Ass: Chris Evans Teases End of the Road for Captain America in the MCU
Those bulging biceps, that square jaw, is there anyone better to slip on a pair of tight pants and play #CaptainAmerica than #ChrisEvans? Well, while some are still swooning over Steve, it looks like Disney is rolling forward with its plans to oust the Sentinel of Liberty in favor of a younger model. Everyone knew it was only a matter of time before Cap would hang up his shield, but it seems that even Chris Evans is keeping his eye on the clock and watching it tick down.

Down in the Dumps-ter: 'The Walking Dead' Star Regrets Glenn's Dumpster Scene
There is no denying that AMC's #TheWalkingDead sure knows how to go for the jugular with a shock death, a skill that the show has recently excelled at by hitting us where it hurts. For seven seasons we idolized #StevenYeun's portrayal of Glenn Rhee, the plucky delivery boy who became a staple of #RobertKirkman's zombie apocalypse. However, with Glenn having his brains turned to mashed potato in the Season 7 premiere, it seems that he tried to dodge death one too many times.

Something With More Bite: Stephen Moyer Is Still Unhappy With The 'True Blood' Finale
It has been nearly three years since #TrueBlood turned to ash before our eyes, and #AnnaPaquin drove a stake into our — and #vampire #StephenMoyer's — hearts. The show's predictably dramatic finale did what most shows seem to do these days and killed off some pretty major players. While not as divisive as the likes of the Lost or Dexter finales, True Blood still managed to polarize the views of the fans that had stuck with it to the end.

The Bat, The Man, The Plan: Joss Whedon's Role In Taking Over 'Justice League' Revealed
After news that the #DCEU's big ensemble piece could be in trouble with some major #JusticeLeague reshoots, Warner Bros. is obviously keen to play down the possibility of its expanded universe falling apart. Even Though #WonderWoman is currently ruling the roost at the box office, Justice League arguably has an even bigger hill to climb by effectively putting all the #DC eggs in one basket.

Oh I 'Wonder' Why? ‘Wonder Woman’ Delayed in Tunisia Ahead of a Possible Ban
We may be loving the female-first powerhouse that is #WonderWoman in the UK and USA, but it appears that our love of Diana Prince doesn't extend worldwide. It may be the best film the #DCEU has to offer, but certain countries aren't fans of #GalGadot and her knee-high boots. Following on from the film's banning in Lebanon, Tunisia is the latest country to throw a lasso round #PattyJenkins's masterpiece and bury the film in the trenches of controversy.

'Write' Place, Wrong Film: 'Prometheus' Writer Knows Where the Alien Films Could Go Next
When #RidleyScott's Prometheus entered the uncharted territory of an #Alien prequel, hopes were high for a faithful continuation of the horror franchise's legacy. However, even an all-star cast and a fleshed-out script from Lost's #DamonLindelof couldn't save the 2012 film from mediocrity.

Sowing the Seeds of Change: Marvel Refuses to Rush a More Diverse MCU
Disney may have the "It's a Small World" ride, but there is no denying that its current roster of #superheroes on film is hardly what you would call diverse. We may tackle green-skinned assassins, talking raccoons, and even a dancing tree, but even the assumption that someone somewhere in the #MCU prefers the company of the same sex brings the internet into meltdown mode.

Walkers Are Coming: 'The Walking Dead' Gets 'Game Of Thrones' Poster For Season 8
We have all heard the rumors that Breaking Bad's Walter White sells his azure meth to those hillbilly Dixon brothers on #TheWalkingDead, but should the shared universes stop there? There are some crossovers that would be just too good to be true, while seeing AMC and HBO team dragons with zombies would be one hell of an epic spectacle to behold.
