What A Spoilersport: Jonathan Nolan Changes 'Westworld' Season 2 Because Of Reddit Spoilers!
Saddle up, boys and girls, because it is time for some swift justice on the plains of #Westworld. We are all due a good telling-off for being just too invested in #HBO's #scifi show. We all love a good snoop in the bowels of Reddit to see what tantalizing info we can unearth on our favorite show until it returns, and Westworld was the same. I fully admit to spending my Monday morning trawling the subreddit for any scraps to tide me over until the next episode.

Is Fantastic Four doomed at FOX, MCU a better option?
The rights to a few of Marvel's key properties belong to 20th Century Fox, and Fox hasn't been keen on sharing those properties with other studios. It wasn't up until recently that Sony decided to share their Marvel properties with Disney studios, and people are expecting the same of Fox. But Fox's past has proven that even consistent failure of their title properties isn't enough for the studio to come to some agreement in order to change that fate. Sony didn't decide to contract their Marvel owned properties with Disney's because of failing properties, despite Spider-Man's solo features failing to meet fan expectations and box office expectations. Sony could see the profitability in Marvel's expanding MCU, now that every mainstream character is having an appearance scheduled for them in the near future.

Could Spider-Man find a home on a Netflix series with Daredevil or Luke Cage?
The most recent incarnation of Spider-Man will be brought to life on the big screen by means of Captain America: Civil War. Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland will make his first appearance in the MCU. This is an all new take on Spider-Man that comes from a grounded comic-book history; all the iconic aspects of Spider-Man/Peter Parker have been integrated into the MCU's version of Spider-Man. It was only recently that the first glimpse of Spider-Man was released in the medium of a trailer for the upcoming Captain America: Civil War. Marvel is definitely intending to cement a place in the MCU for Peter Parker's Spider-Man so it's not likely he'll get bumped back to Sony's list of failed Marvel properties. Though Spider-Man finding a place in the MCU doesn't mean it isn't plausible for Spider-Man to appear in another MCU event or one of the many popular Netflix series being released. One Netflix series in particular would be a perfect fit for Spider-Man, and would definitely bring a new element to the series.

Claws For Thought: Richard E. Grant's Role Revealed For 'Logan'
Those hoping for a "sinister" turn of events for Richard E. Grant's role in the upcoming Logan film will be sadly disappointed. Since the 59-year-old's casting back in April as a "mad scientist," many had hoped that the proper Englishman could be portraying Mister Sinister, the next logical villain after Oscar Isaac's Apocalypse. Sadly, Hugh Jackman took to Twitter with a usual sombre Logan picture in black and white. The caption stated "Rice. Logan. 3.3.17." Well that debunks that theory!

Doing What The Joker Couldn't: George Clooney Finally Admits He Killed Batman
For some 78 years since his arrival on the #comicbook scene, the rogues gallery of Gotham City has tried its best to do away with the Caped Crusader. While #Batman has had more than a few brushes with death, none have come as close as the "Batcard," "Buttgirl," and rubber nips. We are of course talking about #JoelSchumacher's diabolical Batman & Robin. 1997 was heralded as the year that #superheroes died, as an iceberg of Mr. Freeze puns sunk the film quicker than the Titanic.

Would Fantastic Four have a place in the MCU, if an agreement is made on property rights?
It is a known fact of both cinematic features of the Fantastic Four being critically critiqued by fans, and meeting horrible outcomes in both domestic and international box offices. With that being said, Fox is still insistent on continuing their attempt at bringing the Fantastic Four to the big screen despite their failures in ownership of the property. The failures of the Fantastic Four films aren't due to the title of the property not being popular among fans, there's a die hard following for the Fantastic Four, the failure of the films are due to studios like Fox withholding the rights to their characters to themselves. Withholding character rights isn't the reason that the Fantastic Four films have failed, but in isolating the Fantastic Four off in Fox's single universe, FOX studio has set themselves up to fail by isolating a team of characters who have built their history in the jointly combined Marvel universe.

Most of the recent comic book iterations brought to life on the big screen have been generally relatable to audiences of all ages but with Deadpool's R-rated feature being a huge success for Fox, could it pave the way for other gritty R-rated stories to make it to the big screen?
