Ca-She-No Royale: Chris Hemsworth Wants His 'Huntsman' Co-Star As A Female James Bond
Looking for a license to thrill? Well, how about a female James Bond? While the haters will undoubtedly be reaching for their Walther PPK to shoot down the idea before it takes root, we have only recently seen that even in fiction, nothing lasts for ever. With the BBC doing a gender-flip and casting Jodie Whittaker as the first ever female Doctor Who, surely it is only a matter of time before other franchises start to follow suit?

'Divergent' Series' Shailene Woodley Discovers The Fault In Our Laws, Gets Arrested For Trespassing While Protesting

Squad Goals AF: 'Suicide Squad' Actor 'Pretty Sure' She Won't Be Back For The Sequel
Say what you want about David Ayer's Suicide Squad, but the DCEU's villainous vacation certainly had us all talking — just maybe for the wrong reasons. It may have been a commercial success, but Suicide Squad detonated a neck bomb in the review stakes everywhere. Something just didn't quite fit, while the ensemble cast of #MargotRobbie, #WillSmith, and #JaredLeto jarred against each other. Sure, there were highlights like Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, but let's be honest, #SuicideSquad isn't exactly the jewel in the #Batman crown of anyone's DVD collection.

3 Reasons Why Leslie Knope Should Be Our Next President
The 2016 election year has to be one of the craziest elections to date. Who knew that the host of The Apprentice would become the Republican candidate? But if you don't like Donald Trump, then I have another option for you. How about Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation? Sure, she's a fictional character on a beloved comedy series, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense to have her as president. Still not convinced? Then allow me to explain why Leslie would make best commander and chief of the United States.

A Young ‘Arrow’ Fan With Cancer Met Stephen Amell At SDCC And He Gave Her The Most Heartwarming Gift
Arrow fans know Stephen Amell is more than just the role he plays on television.

Annie Get Your Gunn: James Gunn Plays Down A Full MCU Reboot After 'Avengers 4'
There could be trouble ahead, and I don't mean from the Mad Titan Thanos. If your surname is Stark, Rogers, or Banner, better get writing your resumé because it sounds like the whole state of Marvel's Cinematic Universe is up in the air. As we gallop toward the #MCU's 10th anniversary and a celebration with Avengers: Infinity War, it is only right that fans of the highest-grossing franchise in cinema start looking to the future.

With time ticking until Tom Hardy's 'Venom' movie gets underway, Ruben Fleischer and Sony have been hard at work filling spots they need to get started.

Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together: 6 Celebrity Breakups More Devastating Than Hiddleswift
Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston surprised a lot of fans of both when they decided to get together in the first place, so now that the two of them have announced they've gone their separate ways there isn't much left to surprise us. Maybe it was that it seemed weird from the start or maybe that it was that they just swamped us with too much Hiddleswift in the scant few months they were together, but this is one celebrity breakup that hasn't exactly devastated us. There have been celebrity breakups in the past, however, which broke our hearts and felt like family splitting up.

'Arrow' Star Stephen Amell Was A Real-Life Superhero For Charity On 'American Ninja Warrior'
If there was ever any doubt as to actor Stephen Amell's physical capabilities, he put them to rest by taking on the #AmericanNinjaWarrior course on Red Nose Day. In a sneak preview last week, Amell tackled the first few obstacles with ease, but we didn't get to see his entire course run until Thursday night on NBC — just one night after the incredible, fan-pleasing Arrow Season 5 finale.

A 'Rock' To The System: Is Dwayne Johnson Out Of The 'Shazam!' Movie?
The superhero gloves are off and the cinematic universes are going head to head in the great box office battle. As DC tries to compete with Marvel more than ever, and the DCEU is expanding its slate at an exponential rate, the comic book powerhouse certainly has some catching up to do. With the MCU currently standing at 16 films and the DCEU at just four, #GeoffJohns is going full steam ahead with heroes beyond the likes of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Night Of The Living Legacy: 'The Walking Dead' Producer Thanks George A. Romero For The Show
It's safe to say that if you're AMC's The Walking Dead, you quite literally owe your life to George A. Romero. The 77-year-old godfather of the zombie genre sadly passed away on July 16, leaving behind a legacy of movies, his own genre, and setting the bar of rotting flesh pretty damn high. Best known for crafting 1968's Night of the Living Dead, Romero pretty much coined the modern interpretation of the word "zombie."
