Does Marvel's 'Inhumans' Point The Way To The Future Of IMAX?
Advertized as the most immersive film experience you'll ever have, IMAX 3D is a luxury that really does bring so much more depth and character to your moviegoing experience! Next year, though, IMAX is taking a step in a whole new direction with #Marvel's Inhumans TV series. It might just point the way for IMAX to expand out of the movie industry and embrace TV as well...

The Latest Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 Poster Hints at Very Strange Tales Indeed...
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mid-season break left the series moving into new, uncharted territory; the "Ghost Rider" arc was over, and the "LMD" arc was about to begin. We were left with Ming-Na Wen's Agent May unconscious, replaced by an android duplicate — just as Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson finally decided to take the first step in a potential relationship between the two!

If The Dominators Exist In Both CW Superhero Realities - Does Krypton?
We're partway through the tremendous "Heroes Versus Aliens" event, the DCTV crossover that runs through all four CW shows. While we're all enjoying the team-up - not least watching everybody's reactions to #Supergirl - we've already had teases that the event is having a lasting impact on DCTV's status quo.

Why The Ghost Rider Arc Ended In 'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.'
The mid-season finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. set up countless new arcs, with a strong focus on the "LMD" plot. But, in doing so, it also brought an end to one of the most popular arcs the series has ever seen. Gabriel Luna's phenomenally successful Ghost Rider vanished to another (likely Hellish) dimension along with his uncle, but nobody believed he was dead; Coulson even decided to keep the car around just in case.

'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot' Tests The Water For A Whole New Approach
We'd been promised an exciting reveal as part of yesterday's mid-season finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and we certainly got one: the promise of a fantastic new web-series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot! Starring Natalia Cordova-Buckley as Yo-Yo Rodriguez — or Slingshot in the comics — it looks to be a fun miniseries to tide us over until Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns. But it's also a radical new approach for Marvel...

Marvel's 'Iron Fist' Writer Tapped for 'Runaways' — What Does This Tell Us About the Future of Marvel TV?
Just a month ago, we learned that #Marvel and Hulu are working together to bring Marvel's Runaways to life! The catch is, Marvel TV has a lot of projects in the works, and often they seem to go very quiet. We've not heard anything about Cloak and Dagger since April, for example, and Damage Control doesn't seem to have gotten off the ground. So Marvel fans know to keep their ears to the ground for news before they get too excited about a series.

Ahead OF His Netflix Solo TV Show, Why Is The Punisher So Popular?
Spider-Man may be the world's most marketed superhero, but there's no denying The Punisher's subtle-yet-pervasive presence across our cultural landscape. Comic book writer Nathan Edmondson — who briefly penned an excellent Punisher series — observed:

Who Are Project Cadmus, The Main Villains Of 'Supergirl' Season 2?
Project Cadmus. We first heard the name in Season 1 of Supergirl; a dark and shadowy organization who poached science and technology from the Department of Extra-normal Operations. In a shocking twist, Cadmus were also revealed to be holding Supergirl's adoptive father captive. From the get-go, it was clear that Cadmus was being positioned as the main villain of Supergirl Season 2.
