How The Greatest X-Men Cartoon Just Got Even Greater!
Grab yourself an Ellen Page and get your consciousness transferred back to 1992, it is time to revisit X-Men: The Animated Series - but not as we know it! We all know that the next X-Men film will be taking us to the '90s, a time of Spice Girls, Clinton and those Wolverine ice creams (they existed!). 1992 wasn't just the year that Barney & Friends started, it is when X-Men: TAS started. As Marvel's longest running cartoon, it still only ran for 76 episodes, but had us instantly hooked with its bright colours and catchy titles.

Could It Be Magic? Malcolm Merlyn May Return to the Arrowverse
Malcolm Merlyn has been one of the longest serving members of the CW's highly successful Arrowverse; from his humble beginnings as the big bad of Season 1, he's gone on to take part in most of the key events in Arrow and even joined the Legion of Doom in Legends of Tomorrow. After the Season 5 finale, the future of many Team Arrow members was thrown into doubt, but one man's fate seemed more clear cut than the others — especially when Malcolm appeared to be killed by a land mine.

Mark Hamill Reveals He Wanted to Play the Vulture in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'
One of the most talked about aspects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the lack of memorable villains. Loki aside, it's fair to say that Marvel have had far more success with the villains on their Netflix shows or Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. than on the big screen. As the acclaimed studio look to turn this around in 2017, Michael Keaton's portrayal of Adrian Toomes in Spider-Man: Homecoming has been met with universal praise. Many fans cite the sympathetic nature of his character as one of the key factors in this success - but Keaton wasn't the only actor who wanted the role.

6 Reasons Why You Should Watch 'Freaks and Geeks' Right Now
Freaks and Geeks is perhaps one of the best television shows to ever grace the small screen. Serving as a launching pad for actors like Seth Rogen, James Franco, and Jason Segel, the teenage "dramedy" created by Judd Apatow and Paul Feig was the first to portray high school in a realistic way. The only sad part is it lasted just one season. Even with only 18 episodes to offer, the show left quite an impact on viewers who watched regularly and it has since become a highly-treasured cult classic.

The 'Absolutely Fabulous' Trailer Has Absolutely Everything We Wanted!
Sweetie, darling, they're back! After seemingly leaving behind the lives of Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone in 2005, fans of BBC's Absolutely Fabulous had always hoped for more. With a series of sporadic adverts, Comic Relief sketches and even three special episodes to commemorate the 20th anniversary, it was pretty clear we hadn't seen the last of the two Bollinger swigging socialites. The odd one-off was never going to be enough to satisfy the appetites of their cult fans, and rumours of a film version have been harder to kick than the pair's nicotine addiction. Off the back of the likes of Alan Partridge, the Ab Fab girls are the latest to make it to the silver screen with some pretty famous faces in tow.
