Hailee Steinfeld Rumored To Be Cast As Kate Bishop for 'Hawkeye' on Disney+
One of the upcoming shows for Disney+ is a series about one of the less famous (at least to casual movie-goers) of the Avengers (especially before the 2012 film). This Avenger is, of course, the bow-wielding Hawkeye. A perfect shot with his weapon of choice, he developed a small following, but was never as popular as the core three of Captain America, Iron Man and Thor. Part of that likely is due to the fact that even in comic lore he does not have the draw that the other three do. The other part, however, is likely due to the fact that he never had his own standalone films or shows to introduce Jeremy Renner's take on the character.

10 of Brad Pitt's Best Roles
Anyone who knows me knows I am a massively unashamed Brad Pitt fan. Not only because he's something of an Adonis, but also because he is a strikingly good actor. Don't get it twisted: he's not just a beautiful face. In fact, he recently collected his first acting Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in February of this year, an accolade which was, admittedly, long overdue. Having followed Pitt's career since my early teens, I wanted to celebrate his win by compiling a list of ten of his best roles, from 'Kalifornia' to 'Ad Astra'.

'The Walking Dead' Creator Robert Kirkman Confirms He Will Be Involved In Rick Grimes Movie
The Walking Dead TV series, based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book series of the same name, has been running since October 2010. Over the last ten years, viewers who have kept up with the show have grown attached to certain characters. Unsurprisingly, main character Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln) became a fan favorite. When the character was written out of the main show back in season nine, fans wondered whether we may ever see the character in anything on the screen again. Those who are not caught up with what happened to Rick may want to stop here.
