Three's A Crowd: Tom Holland Throws Down The Gauntlet To The Previous Spider-Men
As we slip into something more comfortable than red and blue lycra, the triumphant return of #SpiderMan is but a web-sling away. #Marvel's upcoming #Homecoming sees the youngest live-action version of Stan Lee's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, and the character's return to the bosom of the #MCU. #TomHolland seems pumped to be the third actor to take on the mantle since the reinvention of comic book movies with Sam Raimi's Spider-Man in 2002.

My Hart-Nett Just Wasn't In It: Josh Hartnett Reveals Why He Rejected Playing Batman
From Hollywood heartthrob to fading into obscurity, early '00s darling #JoshHartnett had seemingly slipped off the map. While the 38-year-old Sin City actor is no Brendan Fraser, he is certainly remembered as one of cinema's missing actors (although he experienced something of a comeback in Showtime's Penny Dreadful and has seven projects lined up in 2017!). However, did you know that back when Christopher Nolan was hunting for a lead, Hartnett turned down the part of #Batman? In another case of, "Why didn't I do that?" Hartnett has opened up further about his brush with the bat in turning down the chance to play the Caped Crusader.

What's Red And Black And Kills All Over? Carnage Is Officially Coming To Sony's 'Venom' Solo Movie
As Sony prepares to pump some #Venom into its Spideyverse, and Tom Hardy tries on a snug-fitting symbiote costume, the studio's once failing #SpiderMan hopes the franchise could finally be back on track. With Eddie Brock/Venom being one of the best-known villains from Peter Parker's rogues' gallery, fans are chomping at the bit for Sony to deliver us a well-deserved outing for the alien hybrid — especially considering the disaster of Topher Grace in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3.

Silver Belles: Patty Jenkins Gives Advice To Spider-Man's 'Silver And Black' Director
While the #DCEU is still lassoing in the rewards of #WonderWoman and a new wave of female-first superhero films, director #PattyJenkins will surely become the role model for any women hoping to rule the box office roost. Whereas greats like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino are all known for their directorial skills, Jenkins is set to become synonymous with empowering women in cinema — particularly those hoping to break into that tricky superhero genre.

I 'Mustache' You a Question: 'Orange Is the New Black' Star Pablo Schreiber Wants to Play Wolverine
Sure, there may be no race to find a new #Wolverine yet, but when Fox eventually gets around to replacing its clawed Canadian, expect the casting to be the hottest ticket in town. It is hard to imagine anyone taking over from #HughJackman's 17-year legacy, but just like James McAvoy having to go bald, we always knew this day was coming. While there has been little to no chatter on who could pop out a pair of adamantium claws, one actor is already throwing his mutton chops into the ring.

Is It a Bird, Is It a Plane? 'Man of Steel 2' Rumored to Finally Bring Supergirl to the DCEU
Looking back to 2013, #ZackSnyder's #ManofSteel is one of the best in a bad #DCEU bunch. There has always been talk of a second Superman solo film, but then Snyder went and did that tricky move of killing the lead character off. Just like in the comic books, no one is ever really dead, and #HenryCavill will be flying onto our screens once more in #JusticeLeague, but #ManofSteel2 is still shrouded in a cape of mystery. We may not have any concrete news or even a release date, but now interesting rumors of a possible character arrival have made their way online.

Not Quite So X-Cellent: 'Logan' Producer Reveals Why X-23 Isn't Joining The X-Men Movies
The #Logan gambit has certainly been in full swing to promote the film's home release and Logan Noir, once again reminding us just what made #JamesMangold's masterpiece so great. Among the highlights were the atmospheric spaghetti western vibes, an emotional farewell to #HughJackman's 17 years as #Wolverine, and #DafneKeen's performances as Laura Kinney, a.k.a. #X23.

Four Heads Are Better Than None: Kevin Feige Confirms The Fantastic Four Aren't Aren't Joining The MCU
2017 is a pretty good year to be a superhero fan, and while the likes of Universal's Dark Universe fail to light up the box office, the various extended comic book universes are here to save the day, stronger than ever. With DC and Marvel seemingly content to share the crown, fans can bask in the glory of Superman, Captain America, and Wolverine. However, out of all the #comicbook characters that cinema has struggled to get right the most, the #FantasticFour seem Doctor Doomed to failure.

A Blast From The Cast: Why 'Logan' Director Cut A Major Character's Death Scene
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Logan As #JamesMangold's #Logan finally makes it onto home release, a whole treasure trove of Easter Eggs and commentaries can now be discovered in #HughJackman's swansong. As the near-perfect noir western, we trod the New Mexico desert with a smaller cast than the previous #XMen films and a more intimate conclusion to the #Wolverine trilogy. With barely a lycra suit or a glimmer of cheese in sight, Logan was the thinking man's #superhero film.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: James McAvoy's Bald Xavier Is Back In 'X-Men: Dark Phoenix'
There may be no greater sight than the proud cranium of Sir Patrick Stewart bouncing light around the room, but there is no denying that #JamesMcAvoy has done a pretty stellar job following in his wheel tracks as Charles Xavier. Stewart has played the role of the #XMen mentor on and off for the past 17 years, while McAvoy took over in 2011's X-Men: First Class to play the role alongside Sir Pat.

Every Dog Has Its Day: 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Teases Possible Villain For The Sequel
While we are definitely caught in the web of excitement surrounding the #MCU's #SpiderManHomecoming, some fans of the lycra lad are already looking ahead to #TomHolland's future installments in the title role. We love a good Easter Egg hunt, and now the official Homecoming app has given us a doozy about its equally anticipated sequel; so, have we been introduced to the next film's villain before the first film has even hit theaters?

Holy Hidden Secret Batman: 'The Lego Batman Movie' Had A Christopher Nolan Easter Egg
Time to dig out your toybox and start piecing together those little plastic blocks, because we are looking back at #ChrisMcKay's #LEGOBatman. Some of us were bricking ourselves with excitement, and we certainly weren't left disappointed when a brave and bold Batman movie threw its plastic-fantastic self into cinemas. With more Easter Eggs than religious holiday, it wasn't just forgotten rogues and valuable vehicles from #Batman's past that made an appearance.
