The Historical Accuracy Of 'The Legend Of Tarzan'
The Legend of Tarzan is a fascinating film. It's a strange blend of truth and fiction; it stars a fictional character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose first adventure was published in 1912. The story carefully positions this near-superhero in a very real setting, an environment that owes far less to fiction than we'd ever believe. So here's the truth behind the movie...

Everything We Know About the Villains of Doctor Strange!
With Doctor Strange due out in just under two months, there's still a lot we don't know.

Thankfully, the source of those rumors was rarely believed and showing facts in support of the truth, being the opposite of the rumors, ended most of the issues.
