James Gunn is warning fans to stay clear of Avengers: Infinity War’s spoilers and surprises. Marvel Studios is inching closer to pulling the veil off of their biggest film yet.

It’s a crossover event fans have wanted to see for years, and the trailers have only increased interest in the film....

Jeffrey Dean Morgan avoids revealing whether or not he’ll be playing Batman in Warner Bros.’ Flashpoint movie. Morgan and his Walking Dead co-star Lauren Cohan played Thomas and Martha Wayne, respectively, in Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice last year, and the actor has always been interested in reprising his role as Bruce Wayne’s father in a potential Flashpoint movie, which would be based on the comic book limited series of the same name written by now-DC Films president Geoff Johns....

In a heartbreaking video message, host of Jeopardy! Alex Trebek reveals that he’s been diagnosed with cancer. Widely considered the greatest game show of all time, the emblem of television trivia originally debuted as a daytime show on NBC in 1964. It was the brainchild of Merv Griffin, who also created Wheel of Fortune, and ran on and off until 1979. Trebek has hosted the show since it was revived in 1984 by Sony Pictures Television....

Jake Gyllenhaal is still not officially part of the Spider-Man: Far From Home cast. After star Tom Holland prematurely revealed the film’s title on social media, Marvel Studios and Sony are gearing up to begin production on Peter Parker’s second solo venture in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

James Wan has urged fans to continue watching Swamp Thing, despite its cancellation. Following Titans and Doom Patrol, the more horror-influenced series was the third original series to air on DC Universe. Though the former two exist within the same world, Swamp Thing existed solely as its own entity. Created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, Swamp Thing tells the story of Alec Holland.

From the moment she stumbled out of the boat and onto the beach, Survivor: Guatemala winner Danni Boatwright caught the attention of host Jeff Probst. So much so, that Probst picked her as his prediction for the winner of Survivor: Winners at War.

Which theme songs from Daniel Craig’s time as James Bond had a license to thrill, and which ones left fans shaken, rather than stirred? After the poor critical reception afforded to Pierce Brosnan’s final Bond film, Die Another Day, the iconic franchise was in need of an overhaul. 007 would return stripped-down, updated and humanized with Casino Royale in 2006, kicking off a new dawn with Daniel Craig in the lead role....

When Jason Momoa was cast as Aquaman, audiences were shocked. But something tells us Marvel fans will have a much easier time picturing Momoa as the next Wolverine–the MCU superhero he would love to play if he were given the chance. The idea of following in the footsteps of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine will be daunting to whoever ends up landing the role, now that Disney has the rights to the X-Men....

In an unexpected development, 2oth Century Fox is moving forward with a Multiple Man solo movie starring James Franco. The one-two punch of last year’s Deadpool and this spring’s Logan seems to have reinvigorated Fox’s larger X-Men cinematic universe. Case in point: over the next two years alone, Fox will release the X-Men franchise installments New Mutants, Deadpool 2, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, and Gambit in theaters. Nevertheless, this Multiple Man news is something of a curveball....

Jeff Bridges is up for Best Supporting Actor at this year’s Oscars for his performance in the powerful neo-Western Hell or High Water, his seventh career Academy Award nomination (he won in 2010 for his performance as a crusty country singer in Crazy Heart). Despite all his awards and nominations, Bridges is a down-to-earth guy who is up for just about anything, including appearing in comic book movies like 2008’s Iron Man....

Warner Bros. threw Ezra Miller’s standalone Flash movie for a loop today announcing it will now be called Flashpoint - reflecting the events of the comic event by the same name - and could point to a big role for Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Gunn is, of course, the acclaimed writer and director of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. The characters of those films recently emerged from their own cosmic corner of the shared universe and teamed up with the earthbound heroes in the record-breaking Avengers: Endgame. Star-Lord and the rest of his titular team, however, will next return in a solo outing....

Jeopardy! may already have found the perfect next host for when Alex Trebek retires: current contestant and phenomena, James Holzhauer. Trebek has hosted the popular game show since 1984 but the network would need a worthy successor to fill his iconic role. His contract was originally set to expire in 2020 but it was renewed through 2022. If Trebek fulfills his current Jeopardy! contract, he will be 82 years old. Of course, his current health issues may throw a wrench in his plans to work through that age....

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will spend $173 million and on the computer and the computer will be capable of making 130 quadrillion calculations per second or you can say 130 petaflops in scientific parlance – as early as next year, sources involved in the project told Reuters.

So, Japan’s computer will be fast and the supercomputer could make an appearance by 2017 from the country’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology....

Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad writer/director, James Gunn recently commented on DC’s ever-changing continuity. Following the conclusion of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, the monumental success of Iron Man, and subsequent MCU, Warner Bros began to establish their own cinematic universe beginning with 2013’s Man of Steel. Much in the same way that Iron Man conceived the Joss Whedon-directed The Avengers, Man of Steel led into Zack Synder’s Justice League; however, the latter never reached the former’s level of acclaim, some would say due to Snyder’s exit....

Jeff Goldblum is set to make his triumphant return as Ian Malcolm in Jurassic World 2.

Filmmaker James Gunn has nothing but praise for Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, as well as Spider-Man: Far From Home director Jon Watts. This praise comes a week after reports surfaced on how negotiations between Disney and Sony over the Spider-Man film licensing rights were falling apart. The failed negotiations between the two companies would result in the character of Spider-Man getting pulled from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There was a lot of fan outrage over the news, although many haven’t yet given up hope that negotiations will continue and the two companies will eventually strike a deal....
