Marvel has already begun the marketing push for its first Phase 3 offering, Captain America: Civil War, but the studio is also currently shooting the second film to be released next year, Doctor Strange. In addition to introducing the Sorcerer Supreme to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Strange will also establish the mystical side of the comics’ lore. Production on Doctor Strange began in Nepal last month, offering fans their first glimpses of Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo....

Fans of Doctor Who know that The Doctor can do many wonderful things. This is not simply because he’s a Time Lord from Gallifrey. The Doctor is a renegade who likes to get up to shenanigans and impress people (usually pretty young human women) with the wonders of time and space, always getting into surprisingly intense and dark adventures in the process. While he is presented as an amazing sort of character, the term “superpowers” isn’t normally associated with the guy, but, from a certain point of view, he actually has a few of them....

Doctor Who season 12 has introduced Sacha Dhawan as the new Master. Showrunner Chris Chibnall has found his stride with Doctor Who. The new season launched with a two-part episode, “Spyfall,” kicking off with a dramatic tale in which the Doctor and her friends are recruited to help the world’s intelligence agencies Episode 1 is a dramatic opening, a spiritual successor to James Bond. Oddly enough, it’s a little more realistic than traditional 007 fare, accurately portraying Britain’s top-secret MI6 - led by an agent who’s simply identified as “C”, rather than “M”....

Disney’s Aladdin (2019) is the latest of the Mouse House’s live-action reimaginings, and we reveal whether it has a post-credits scene. Over the last few years, Walt Disney Studios has dipped into its library of animated classics for new adaptations of beloved fairy tales and legends. The studio has had a great deal of success with their live-action Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book movies, which stick exceptionally close to their original animated counterparts....

This month, Doctor Stephen Strange made his big-screen debut in Marvel’s latest origin story, Doctor Strange, and one more Infinity Stone was revealed for the MCU. This brings us to five stones in total, with only one more (the Soul Stone) left to make its Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. The Time Stone appeared as part of Doctor Strange’s trademark amulet, also known as the Eye of Agamotto. Long-time Marvel fans are very familiar with the comic version of this relic, but newcomers to the psychedelic world of the Sorcerer Supreme are just getting to grips with this latest inclusion....

Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary special episode would’ve looked very different if Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor was involved. The long awaited “The Day of the Doctor” was a tour de force of all things Doctor Who and finally delved deep into the “Time War” mystery that had been simmering since the long-running science fiction series was first revived by Russell T. Davies in 2005. Teaming the then-current Doctor, Matt Smith, with his predecessor, David Tennant and John Hurt’s War Doctor, the landmark episode explored the Doctor’s morality and reintroduced Gallifrey to the franchise in an epic, dual-heart warming final act....

Peter Capaldi portrayed another Doctor Who character before being cast as the Twelfth Doctor, and there’s a very good reason for that. Both the classic and modern incarnations of Doctor Who have reused certain actors for multiple roles. Colin Baker, for example, played a Time Lord called Commander Maxil in 1983 before debuting as the Doctor’s next regeneration just over a year later, and this tradition has continued into the modern Doctor Who era....

When Marvel fans think of a character with super-healing, the first that comes to mind nowadays is Wolverine or Deadpool. Not many think about Captain America (Steve Rogers), who also has this amazing ability. Like the mutants mentioned above, this healing factor helps Cap to survive his fair share of bad injuries, too. But unlike the mutants, he gained the ability from a scientific serum. Developed by a German scientist during World War II, Abraham Erskine created a Super Soldier Serum to enhance the human body and mind....

Legendary James Bond veteran Pierce Brosnan plays Doctor Fate in the upcoming Black Adam movie starring Dwayne Johnson. DCEU fans may not be familiar with the character, but he enjoys a long history in DC Comics going back to the Golden Age, first appearing in More Fun Comics #55 back in 1940. His comic book past likely points toward his live-action future. Doctor Fate remains an integral part of the greater DC universe, though he may not be as prominent even in the comics as other major DC titans....

UPDATE: Check out our thoughts on Incredibles 3! Incredibles 2 depicts the continuing adventures of the Parr family, but does the Pixar sequel have an end-credits scene setting up another movie? Pixar introduced movie fans around the world to Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) and their three children nearly 14 years ago with Brad Bird’s The Incredibles. The film became a favorite for many and The Incredibles fans have been clamoring for a sequel for quite a while....

In its haste to once again have Danny Torrance battle The Overlook Hotel, Doctor Sleep kills off mesmerizing villain Rose the Hat way too quickly. In adapting Doctor Sleep for the big screen, writer/director Mike Flanagan was tasked with a delicate balancing act. Flanagan set out to both create a satisfying adaptation of Stephen King’s source novel, and craft a worthy sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s iconic movie version of The Shining, all that despite King’s well-known hatred of Kubrick’s film....

Doctor Who season 12 has introduced a new version of the Doctor and made some major changes to the timeline, seemingly creating a TARDIS plot hole in the process. Jodie Whittaker’s sophomore season as the Time Lord has seen showrunner Chris Chibnall take some big swings with the established canon of Doctor Who: there’s a new Master, played by Sacha Dhawan; a new mystery to solve in the shape of the Timeless Child; and now, a new incarnation of the Doctor, hiding on Earth as a woman called Ruth Clayton (Jo Martin)....

UPDATE: We explain Avengers: Infinity War’s END-CREDITS SCENE. After-credits scenes are a venerable Marvel tradition, but does Avengers: Infinity War have a stinger? When the MCU was launched back in 2008, a post-credits sequence in Iron Man introduced viewers to Samuel Jackson’s Nick Fury. Since then, end-credits scenes have advanced many of Marvel’s most important stories. Several even featured Thanos himself, setting the Mad Titan up for his starring role in Infinity War....

Doctor Who series have become fewer in numbers as the years have gone since its return in 2005, and we now generally have to wait a couple of years for a new series to come along and dazzle us with its stories across time and space. Thankfully, the wait is getting shorter now, as Series 12 is set to arrive in 2020 to fulfill our Doctor Who needs. Before that fresh season premieres, it’s only fair we check out all the previous ones in the “Nuwho” era to remind us where the franchise went right and where we were less than thrilled....

Peter Parker’s fellow New Yorker Doctor Strange is the perfect MCU character to cameo in the as-yet-untitled Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel. The first solo Spider-Man movie in the MCU, Spider-Man: Homecoming, featured Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark in a major role, acting as a mentor figure to Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, and even giving Spider-Man a major upgrade. That character arc continued into this year’s Avengers: Infinity War, and led to one of the movie’s most heartbreaking moments....

River Song’s Doctor Who timeline is presented completely out of sequence, but what would it look like in chronological order? By it’s very nature, Doctor Who is a time-bending and history-meddling entity and some of its most complicated tales require a little reflection to piece all the winding time streams into one cohesive narrative. This is never more apparent than during Matt Smith’s era, at which time Steven Moffat ramped up the complexity of Doctor Who considerably, and one significant contributing factor in this shift was the regular addition of Alex Kingston’s River Song....

Keanu Reeves is back in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, but does the film have a post-credits scene? It’s been five years since Reeves made his debut as John Wick, a retired assassin who hunts down a group of men after they steal his car and kill his dog (a parting gift from his recently-deceased wife). The original John Wick movie was itself an unexpected critical success - earning praise for its inventive gun fu action sequences and worldbuilding - and more that quadrupled its budget at the box office....

The future is female, at least on the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s Comic-Con preview issue, which features Jodie Whittaker of Doctor Who front and center. Whittaker’s casting and take on the character will also feature prominently at the BBC America Doctor Who panel at SDCC. Whittaker takes over duties as the 13th Doctor on Doctor Who later this fall. She becomes the first woman to land the role, one traditionally and previously held by men....

We are less than two months away from the release of the fourteenth installment of the enormously successful Marvel Cinematic Universe (“MCU” for short). Doctor Strange will see the MCU dive head first into the mystic arts, when Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) takes on the role of Stephen Strange. The highly anticipated film also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor (The Martian) as Karl Mordo, Rachel McAdams (Spotlight) as Christine Palmer, and Oscar winner Tilda Swinton (Trainwreck) as the Ancient One....

The latest episode of Doctor Who, “The Tsuranga Conundrum”, saw Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor discard a promise made by Matt Smith’s incarnation. Every version of the Doctor is very different, of course; the magic of regeneration is that it gives Doctor Who a unique ability to continually reinvent itself. Back in the Matt Smith era, the Eleventh Doctor essentially saw himself as something of a cosmic event. In his very first episode, “The Eleventh Hour,” the Doctor called defeated villains the Atraxi back to threaten them with knowledge of his long past and the evocative phrase, “Basically, run....
