Lo-gan Behold: Hugh Jackman Makes Peace With Others Playing Wolverine After 'Logan'
We always knew this day would come; like Sean Connery's departure from James Bond, or Harrison Ford handing over the keys to the Falcon, sometimes actors are just a little long in the tooth to play a role forever. As Hugh Jackman brings to close his 17-year reign as #Wolverine, his 10th film as the berserker member of the #XMen bows out with the superb #Logan.

A Wong Time Coming: Why B.D. Wong's Casting In 'Jurassic World 2' Is The Most Important Announcement Yet
As we open up the gates again for another disastrous trip into dinosaur theme parks, the casting for J.A. Bayona's #JurassicWorld2 is heating up. While Sam Neill has confirmed he is done with the franchise and that Dr. Alan Grant is "probably dead" by now, another nod to the past comes with the (already suspected) announcement that #BDWong will be back as Dr. Henry Wu.

Jurassic Pork: 'Babe' Star James Cromwell Joins 'Jurassic World 2'
"That'll do, raptors, that'll do." While we still hold out a glimmer of hope that Jeff Goldblum may one day reprise his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm in the #JurassicPark films, fans of '90s #nostalgia will be happy to hear about the latest addition to a romp around the prehistoric period. Babe star James Cromwell will be polishing his rifle to stick on some khaki for Juan Antonio Bayona's upcoming #JurassicWorld2.

Rufi-Noooooo: 'Hook' Actor Dante Basco Creating His Own Spin-Off
Are you ready to stick on the green lycra and take to the skies once more? In a story I "Never Neverland" thought I would be writing, someone is actually planning to return to the world of Hook — well, to the colorful tribe of the lost boys anyway.

Kenan And Swell: '90s Star Kel Mitchell Announces Baby With 'Good Burger' Photoshoot!
"Who loves big announcements? Kel loves big announcements. Is it true? Mmmmmhmmmm, I do, I do, I do-ooh." Whether it be Beyonce throwing on a veil for her own baby photoshoot, or Fergie hashtagging "mylovelybabybump," bouncing celebrity babies are as much of a talking point as the careers of the celebrities themselves.

Having The Last Laugh: How Cameron Monaghan's Jerome Makes 'Gotham' The Show We Deserve
What a "Joker" that Cameron Monaghan is — swapping Shameless for Gotham, the red-headed 20-something rules the roost as the rather familiar face of #Fox's #Batman bonanza. For those who haven't been tuning in (and why not?), Monaghan plays Jerome Valeska, a boy with a psychotic past, who makes trouble for Ben McKenzie's Jim Gordon and a young Bruce Wayne.

What A (Fish)Burn: Laurence Fishburne Slams DC And Won't Appear In 'Justice League'
"Extra, extra, read all about it, Daily Planet editor slams DC." Stop the presses, because it looks like The Matrix actor Laurence Fishburne is throwing some serious shade in #WarnerBros.'s direction, and in particular, at Geoff Johns.

Does 'The Walking Dead's' Gregory Give Us A Marvel Villain Problem?
The rotting jewel in the #AMC crown, #TheWalkingDead is known for its badass butchery and lack of messing around, but did it just give us its lamest villain yet? Xander Berkeley's Gregory went full villain by betraying those around him, so how does a middle-aged man with receding hair fit into a show already overflowing with cannibals and maniacs? #RobertKirkman's comic books have given us some of the greatest villains to grace modern television, from the one-eyed Governor to the bat-wielding Negan. However, does Season 6 of the zombie romp offer up the show's first real villain problem?

Whoa Man The Barbarian: Is Arnold Schwarzenegger Heading To 'Wonder Woman'?
It's time to get out your Lasso of Truth and wrangle the DCEU, because a very high profile actor could be set to join Patty Jenkins's Wonder Woman. It would be a case of "I'll be back," (well, in the DC universe) as #ArnoldSchwarzenegger is the latest casting rumor for the upcoming female-first film. #GalGadot, Robin Wright, and Chris Pine are already heading up the cast, so if we added Arnie, he would certainly be in some A-list company.
