Fans have been heartbroken ever since the two companies announced that the deal to bring Spidey into the Marvel Cinematic Universe was now over. Disney sought to renegotiate their deal, asking for a 30% money share (not the 50% originally reported), but Sony simply said no.

The Disney/Fox merger took quite some time, but it finally happened and fans couldn’t be more overjoyed. Marvel Studios now has nearly all of their properties under their umbrella, including the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and all their supporting characters. Both film franchises have not had it easy, but the X-Men have had a very long roller coaster ride to the end here. While some of the films have been huge successes, the last few have failed to be worth the time time to view them. Especially after the worst box office showing in the franchise’s history with Dark Phoenix,…

As we drown in the wake of the Sony/Disney split over Spider-Man and his involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s easy to overlook another harsh break up that cost the fans dearly. Back when Disney announced they were going to attempt their own streaming service, they discontinued their deal with Netflix. It what seemed like juvenile retaliation, Netflix cancelled the uber successful Daredevil and the other Marvel series associated with the Man With No Fear. This angered fans greatly, but it also upset the actors, none moreso than Kingpin, himself, Vincent D’Onofrio. Fans have begun a #SaveDaredevil campaign, and…

Man, rumors are like a millions gnats that just keep breeding and pestering fans. While some of them turn out to be true, 99% of them turn out to be made up nonsense. This latest rumor could very well fall into the larger percentage. Do you remember that god awful ABC Marvel series, Inhumans? Yeah, we don’t want to remember it, either, but it happened. But, according to the latest rumor, the Inhumans might be getting a reboot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

There are multiple reactions when it comes to horror movies. Some people scream and jump, others laugh, and others cry and pass out. There is a spectrum of emotion that happens and a person can fall anywhere on that line, it just depends. But, what if the horror movie bleeds into real life? How do you react then? It certainly isn’t something one would expect to happen. But, for one New Jersey resident, not only did it happen, but it involved the scariest clown of all time in IT’s Pennywise. Renee Jensen was having just a regular, normal Saturday at…

Conflicting reports about what Disney wanted for compensation and Sony blatantly just dropping the whole thing has fan torn over who to side with and who to be mad at.

Sometimes, when an actor takes on a role, they go through extreme measures to really nail the aesthetic that brings the character to life. When it comes to arguably the most iconic villain in all of fiction, The Joker, many have taken their transformations to the nth degree. Jared Leto took method acting to a whole new level for his take on the Clown Prince of Crime, sending obscene and gross ‘gifts’ to his cast mates. Heath Ledger spent a lot of time with mental patients in a psych ward to really get the ‘crazy’ side down. The latest incarnation,…

The fallout of the Disney/Sony split over Spider-Man still has fans confused and upset. It’s hard to make sense of it all, as each company is pointing fingers at the other, and every ‘inside’ has a different take on exactly what happened from their ‘sources’. But, one thing you can count on when it comes to these sort of things is crazy fan theories. And, almost like clockwork, they are rolling in. Now, the writer (from CinemaBlend) is very quick to trash himself up from and say that his theory is all from his head and not from any kind…
