There was a lot to take in with Marvel’s first trailer for Captain America: Civil War, including lots of Bucky / Winter Soldier action, heroic friends turning on one another, and the debut of Black Panther. One thing we didn’t see was Tom Holland, the young actor who will make his debut as Spider-Man in Civil War before embarking on his own solo adventure. Marvel will probably continue to hide the new Spidey for a while, but Holland has a few things to say about playing the character and his place in the MCU.

The new photos reveal what Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince looks like in WWI-era civilian clothing and offer another look at Pine.

‘Walking Dead’ Throws Shade at ‘Game of Thrones’ Over Jon Snow Poster
TV resurrections certainly hit a boiling point over the last few days, between last night’s dumpster-diving Walking Dead, or this morning’s surprise Game of Thrones revelation, a proximity not lost on the former’s creative minds. The Walking Dead took a playful shot at Game of Thrones for torturing fans, but is the pot calling the kettle (or perhaps just taking the) black?
Universal Wants Angelina Jolie to Be Their ‘Bride of Frankenstein’
Angelina Jolie’s latest directorial effort was a bit of a risk for Universal, and one that doesn’t seem to be paying off as By the Sea has made less than half a million at the box office and word-of-mouth has been…less than kind. But it looks like the studio may have been well-prepared to take that risk, as a new report suggests that they took an interesting approach to negotiating their deal to produce Jolie’s film — and they have a couple of ideas for how the actress and director can pay them back.

Game of Thrones Season 6 has enough mysteries on its plate to fill a banquet, but one among them has gone largely overlooked.

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Reveals Details About Andy Serkis’ New Villain
As Star Wars: The Force Awakens grows closer, we’re starting to learn more and more about all the characters, new and old. Rey was abandoned by her parents on Jakku. Princess Leia is now General Leia Organa. BB-8 is a she. But, there’s still one character we know almost nothing about: Supreme Leader Snoke. Other than a mysterious voiceover in the very first teaser trailer, we’ve seen nothing of Andy Serkis’ mo-cap villain. But now, as part of Entertainment Weekly’s big double-issue Star Wars cover story, we know a little bit more about Snoke.

How Dynamite’s New James Bond Comic Creates a 007 We Haven’t Seen Before
James Bond doesn’t even show up until you’re surprisingly deep into the new comic book series that bears his name.
The first issue opens with a man on the run. We see this man’s terrified, panicked face. We see his desperation. We don’t see his pursuer, but we soon realize that the man on his tail is relentless and terrifying and will stop at nothing to catch him. When James Bond reveals himself after several pages of dialogue-free cat-and-mouse, it’s with a kind of brutality you’d expect from a horror movie monster. Soon, 007’s target is dead and a murdered 00-agent have been avenged. But it’s a nasty scene. It’s not fun. It’s ugly. Bond has always been a proficient killer across every medium in which he’s appeared, but there’s something different here. Something meaner. Something colder.
Jennifer Lawrence Says ‘There’s Not Really Boys’ in Her Movie With Amy Schumer
Over the summer we discovered that our imaginary BFFs Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer have become friends in real life, and really, what could be better? Oh, right — it wasn’t long before Lawrence and Schumer revealed that they’re working on a comedy film together. We haven’t heard much more about it since then, though its mere existence has sustained the hopes and dreams of many a J-Amy fan. While we anxiously await this miraculous product of two beautiful minds, Lawrence has a few details to hold us over.
Liam Neeson to Throat-Punch the Lid Off Watergate in Spy Thriller ‘Felt’
The Watergate scandal has been permanently imprinted in America’s historical memory, making for an instant low point of politics upon the revelation that President Richard Nixon had authorized illegal information-gathering strategies against the Democratic Party. And yet that chapter only came to a close fairly recently; it was in 2005 that reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein key source, the mysterious and gravel-voiced informant codenamed Deep Throat, made his identity known. With Nixon long gone and his own health starting to fail him, a former FBI spook named Mark Felt admitted to cooperating under the Deep Throat moniker.
