'We Needed To Do Something Different': Former Sony Exec Reveals Why the Studio Let Spider-Man Join the MCU
In February 2015, a miracle occurred: #Sony and #Marvel made a deal to allow #SpiderMan to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Safe to say, this news filled many fans' hearts with glee (including me, as I wrote my first-ever article about it!). But we wondered how exactly it would work — would Andrew Garfield continue in the role of Peter Parker? What would become of the planned Spider-Man cinematic universe?

After 5 Years of Hell, Here's Why It Makes Perfect Sense to End 'Arrow' Season 5 on Lian Yu
After a couple years of disappointment, #Arrow is finally back to its best. Season 5 has been a marked improvement; the missteps of the previous two seasons have been well and truly put to bed with a return to form featuring Oliver's battle with Prometheus. The big bad of Season 5 has been a truly formidable foe, which has led to Oliver calling in some unexpected reinforcements.

Chris Evans Thinks It's Time For a Black Widow Movie — Will Marvel Finally Get on Board?
Scarlett Johansson's #BlackWidow has played an integral part in the #MarvelCinematicUniverse since she first appeared in Iron Man 2. Despite not having any superpowers of her own, she's certainly proved her worth to the Avengers in all of her appearances thus far. From her involvement in the Battle of New York in #TheAvengers to helping Cap find Bucky in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, she has been a constant presence and ally to all of the MCU heroes.

James Corden Is Deadpool's New British Sidekick
With the massive success of Deadpool, I had thought that maybe Ryan Reynolds would start to pump the breaks and rest on his laurels a bit. Apparently, I'm not that good at predicting things because he's still at it. This time he's joined by James Corden of The Late Late Show as he tries to pitch some of his ideas for Deadpool's sidekick. I mean, sure, Cable is supposedly going to be in the next movie, but you can't let little details like that stop you from going after your dreams. Granted, James' ideas weren't that solid ranging from Tentakill to Strawberry Short Fuse which is basically just a strawberry that gets angry real quick.

Did This Arrowverse Actor Accidentally Reveal Who Dies in the ‘Arrow’ Season 5 Finale?
For five years on #Arrow, we've seen Oliver Queen's trials and tribulations as he struggles to maintain his double life, his battle to find his identity. After returning to save his city, he's fought many foes over the five years, but there's one man in particular who has been a thorn in Oliver's side throughout all of the show's fun: Malcolm Merlyn.

Sia Wigs Out With James Corden for Some Carpool Karaoke
"Carpool Karaoke" is easily one of the most popular segments of The Late Late Show with James Corden and with good reason. What could be more awesome than jamming out in the car to your favorite music while having the artist sing along with you? James has had the likes of Adele, Justin Bieber, One Direction, and more help him drive to work while belting out the hits in his car. The latest to throw their hat (or wig, I guess) in the carpool karaoke ring is Sia who graced James with some of her biggest songs like "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart."

What Marvel Villain Problem? Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Grant Ward Has Been the Perfect Bad Guy All Along
If there's one criticism of the #MCU, it's that its villains have rarely been up to par. Other than Loki, Marvel's villains have been largely forgettable; from Malekith to Kaecillius, Marvel's movie Big Bads have rarely been compelling. More recently, Marvel's Netflix shows have offered us a reprieve from these cookie-cutter villains, but they've not had much of an impact yet.

If You've Been Sleeping on 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Since Season 1, It's Time to Wake Up
#Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has a somewhat checkered history. It arrived with great fanfare — many fans tuned in to see the much-anticipated return of fan-favorite character Phil Coulson — but then it very swiftly lost momentum. As a result, a lot of viewers turned off.
