Fantastic Beasts: Are We Ready for a Gay Dumbledore?
J.K. Rowling taught millions of people about tolerance and acceptance. With more than 450,000,000 copies sold worldwide, Harry Potter is the best selling series of all time. And research led by professor Loris Vezzali of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy proved that children who read Harry Potter passages dealing with prejudice (Draco saying that Hermione was a "filthy little Mud-Blood") had become more tolerant towards immigrants compared to people who read neutral passages of the book. Now that a whole generation is more open to people of different culture, fans want J.K. Rowling to do the same thing with queer characters.

Fan-casting a Rambo Reboot
With the news that Sylvester Stallone has named his choice to succeed him in his role as John Rambo (Read about that here) and I thought I'd take a second to look at some of the potential options as to who could replace Stallone in one of his more well-known characters.

Breaking: First Official 'Iron Fist' Details Revealed
So this year has been rather trying for Iron Fist fans like myself. First we hear news that our beloved Danny Rand may not actually get into Marvel's Cinematic Universe as part of The Defenders (if even appearing at all). Then we hear that the studio is having trouble with the story and they may scrap the Netflix series and go with a feature length movie on Netflix. Then we hear that's not going to happen. All of these up and down rumors left us all with a great sense of fear that we may never get to see the Immortal Iron Fist come to life like we've seen so many other great characters.

Here's What We Know About The Potential 'Charmed' Reboot So Far
There has been much murmuring about the potential for a reboot of the Charmed series that ran from from 1998–2006 on the WB network. The series, about a trio of sister witches living in San Francisco, has steadily gained popularity thanks to Netflix and a new influx of viewers. Even though I've seen every episode at least three times, Charmed still tops my list of go-to shows whenever I just don't know what I want to watch so the thought of a reboot is both exciting and terrifying. I say terrifying because there is some talk about remaking the show without the original cast. And with all the old shows getting reboots: 24, The X-Files, Heroes (titled Heroes Reborn), Gilmore Girls, and Prison Break (to name a few), I know fans won't settle for anything less than the original Halliwells. Fortunately, it seems like the actresses are amenable to the idea.
