Supergirl Is Finally Going to Show Superman as an Actual Character

After an entire season of seeing Superman from a distance, or blurry, or backlit with a glare, or just his foot, or with his texts, Supergirl is celebrating its move to the CW by actually casting the character.

John Boyega Will Star in Pacific Rim 2

Uncancel the apocalypse everyone, so we can cancel it again: The Force Awakens and Attack the Block star John Boyega will lead the cast of Pacific Rim 2.

The years have not been kind to the former gods of glam rock—and particularly not to William Bruce Bailey, better known as Axl Rose.

30 Years Later, the Space Camp Movie Is Still Fantastic

Thirty years ago today, a movie with a very recognizable cast opened in theaters. It wasn’t a big hit, and has since all but faded away to a point where it’s very difficult to watch anywhere legally.

Black Panther’s Civil War Costume Could Have Been a Lot Weirder

Formfitting superhero costumes are rampant in the comics—after all, they don’t call it “donning the spandex” for nothing. But while T’Challa’s Black Panther suit in Civil War came out looking pretty much exactly like it did in the very first concept art we saw of the character, it almost took form-fitting to a whole other…
