No Bay, No How: Michael Bay Says He Won't Direct A Marvel Film
Oh, mighty Lord Bay, we are not worthy of your talents, please take mercy on us humble movie viewers. As the Marvel and DC franchises lock horns in the box office battles, don't expect Michael Bay's Transformers to get involved with any superhero civil wars. It looks like after he has finished doing whatever it is #MichaelBay does with #Transformers, he won't be setting his sights on the #MCU (thankfully).

Don't Hate The Players, Hate The Game: Ranking The Winners And Losers Of 'Westworld' Season 1
As Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy's Westworld turns out to be a giant wooden game of "get the ball to the middle of the maze," we are still left reeling from the bullet-riddled finale. Episode 10, "The Bicameral Mind" saw Dr. Ford's new narrative spell a possible end to the park's serene life of donkey walks and piano ditties. The first season wrapped with #Westworld's signature keep 'em wanting more style, meaning that the wait until Season 2 in 2018 is likely to be an agonizing one (robots feel pain too). While we practice our lasso skills, let's rank the winners and losers of #HBO's wild, wild western.

How One Man Leaked The Galaxy Of Character Cameos For 'Rogue One'
Set phasers to "stunned," because for once, the rumors are to be believed. A leaked cast-list for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story all but ruined the surprise that several characters from #GeorgeLucas's original three #StarWars films would cameo in Gareth Edwards's spin-off, and it wasn't wrong. Sadly we didn't get to see Carrie Fisher stick on those hair buns one last time before her tragic passing, but a leaked cast list was bang on with the promised return of some fan-favorites. Redditor tphilb, who broke the news, said that their line of work means the list made it onto their desk, which is a pretty big slip up — someone definitely got fired for this one.

Jack's All Folks: What Does The End Of Wolverine Mean For Hugh Jackman?
Is there life after Logan? Hugh Jackman is officially hanging up his adamantium skeleton after 16 years of playing the grizzly menace Wolverine. We have followed him across the Canadian Rockies, to Alkali Lake, the Statue of Liberty, and even a trip back to 1973, so sorry if we are a little sentimental in laying Jackmanverse to rest. I mean c'mon, he was so good in his role that they even kept him for the sequels, prequels, reboots and remakes — it is hard to picture anyone else in the role of Logan, and I feel sorry for the poor son of a bitch who has to try *sticks middle claw up*.

Dolores's 'Grave' Mistake: Unravelling Religion In 'Westworld'
HBO's robo-romp #Westworld continued to mystify in its fourth episode and it looks like the ghosts of the past could be about to rear their heads for our sentient hosts. The park itself has been used as an analogy for the Garden of Eden, with our titular Dolores being the eve of the world, and Anthony Hopkins's Ford is God, battling with Ed Harris's Man in Black/The Devil. It is all speculation at this stage, however, "Dissonance Theory" gave us a real insight to the religion of Westworld, where it looks like Dolores is digging up trouble.
