Has Pierce Brosnan Been Cast as Cable in Deadpool 2?
Who do you call when you want the ultimate action hero? That's the challenge facing Fox as they choose an actor to play the part of Deadpool's greatest ally (and best bromance), Cable. A warrior without peer, Cable is the kind of guy who can wage a one-man-war and single-handedly take down an army. You're going to need a seasoned actor, an action veteran, a hero... You're going to need someone like...

How Will Deadpool 2 Handle the Crazy, Convoluted Origin of Cable?
The shining star of last year's superhero movies, Deadpool was a phenomenal success — and nobody was at all surprised when Fox greenlit a sequel! One of the first things we learned was that Deadpool 2 would introduce us to the Fox Universe version of another Robert Liefeld creation: the walking weapon-of-mass-destruction known as Cable. The bromance between Cable and Deadpool is the stuff of comic book legend, with Cable usually playing the straight man to Deadpool's inane jester. But there's one problem with Cable; his origin.

Will Loki Come To His Brother's Rescue In 'Thor: Ragnarok'?
The first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok has left fans reeling. In just the first 25 seconds, we watch with awe as Hela catches Mjolnir in her outstretched hand — and breaks it. A weaponless Thor is then cast aside, left stranded on the world of Sakaar, where he soon ends up forced to battle in the arena. How can the God of Thunder get out of this?

Why Benedict Cumberbatch Using a Body Double to Stand in on 'Avengers: Infinity War' Isn't a Big Deal
Over the weekend, Marvel fans reacted in shock and horror as we learned that Benedict Cumberbatch's hectic schedule is causing problems for the filming of Avengers: Infinity War.

'Deadpool 2' Casting Leaks: Is Kerry Washington The First Domino To Fall?
It's hard to believe that Deadpool first aired only a year ago. The film was a tremendous success, pushing the boundaries of superhero movies beyond even the fourth wall, and nobody was surprised when Fox greenlit a sequel. One year on, rumors are swirling about the new characters set to appear in Deadpool 2; Pierce Brosnan, for example, looks to be pretty much a dead cert for Deadpool's iconic "straight man," Cable!

James Mangold Hints At His Initially Even Darker Plot For 'Logan' — And The Cameos We Could Have Had
"Mutants... They're gone now." Those four words set the scene for Logan; a world without #XMen, where Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine are the last ones left. This is the twilight of the mutant race; all the world can do is look back on mutants with nostalgia. Those in-universe X-Men comics, wonderfully teased in the second trailer? They're all that's left, and they're more fiction than fact.

'Venom' Without Spider-Man? Why The Solo 'Venom' Movie Could Be The Dark Horse Of The Superhero Genre
Recently, fans were surprised by some unexpected news: Sony is pushing forward with an R-rated Venom film, independent of the MCU, and with no ties to Tom Holland's spectacular Spider-Man. Sony's booked in a release date of October 5th, 2018, and My Entertainment World has classified the film as "action / horror / sci-fi". It's a bold move — but what makes Sony think this film can swing from its own tendrils?
