'We're Working On It Right Now': Channing Tatum Confirms Gambit Movie Is Still In The Works
Fox's X-Men franchise has never been healthier, but in a strange twist, it's not because of the main tentpole films.

Quantum Of Solitude: Is Captain Marvel Trapped In The Quantam Realm?
Over the weekend, fans were delighted to finally learn some of the secrets of Captain Marvel. We now know that the movie is set in the 1990s, with Brie Larson's hero teaming up with Samuel L.

The cancellation is a real blow for diversity in the comic book industry, and yet here's the catch; it was inevitable.
