5 Reasons Tom Holland is Already a Young Nathan Drake In Disguise
Thanks to his life-altering role as Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 21-year-old Tom Holland has become something of a household name among comic book nerds, little kids, Marvel and MCU fanatics, and Spider-Man fans worldwide. Now, due in no small part to the general success of his recent solo debut in Spider-Man: Homecoming, it seems he has also risen to become one of Hollywood’s most bankable young twenty-something actors. So bankable in fact, that Sony just recently cast him to play a young Nathan Drake in the upcoming film adaptation of Naughty Dog’s hugely popular Uncharted video game series.

‘A F*cking Bootcamp’: Nightwing’s Solo Film Will Be Mostly Stuntwork, With Little CGI - Says Director Chris McKay
The best thing about the Bat family is the same thing many claim to be its biggest weakness: the group’s humanity and obvious lack of superpowered abilities. While the rest of the Justice League gets by with the help of cosmic rings, world-leveling alien superpowers, metahuman abilities, cybernetic body parts, magic, and divine pedigree, Bruce Wayne, Batgirl, and the Robins get by on human effort, luck, extraordinary diligence, willpower, observation, and mortal intuition. And so far they have performed beyond expectations. Not just performed, even led their own teams — from the Teen #Titans to the Justice League. Richard Grayson — otherwise known as the first Robin, Bruce’s temporary stand-in, and Blüdhaven’s resident Nightwing — is no different.

Seeing Double: The Ever-Shrinking World of Casting in Hollywood Franchises
Over the weekend, veteran Hollywood director Ron Howard teased the latest casting in the Han Solo spin-off: Paul Bettany, the voice of JARVIS and the man behind The Vision. Fans and fellow celebs alike appear excited by the news, and why shouldn’t they be? Bettany is an avant-garde talent, cropping up in the unlikeliest of places but usually as an essential piece of a spectacular ensemble. Undoubtedly, his role in the MCU has upped his star power, but he is also something of a Ron Howard favorite, having worked with him prior in The Da Vinci Code and A Beautiful Mind. #Disney seems to want to keep things within the family for this Star Wars film.

Why Matt LeBlanc Is the Best Thing to Happen to Top Gear
The announcement of Matt LeBlanc joining the ranks of Top Gear is a headline you would never expect to see - clearly not, as bookmakers William Hill revealed with odds at 500/1, not a single person bet on him being the new host. It didn't quite break the internet, but it did send Twitter into a bit of a melt down; a seemingly strange turn of events like the resurrection of his character Dr. Drake Ramoray on Days of Our Lives. So what about the man behind the motor?

Untold Stories From the Set of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'
"Out of everyone that could have walked in, it had to be him." I want to say it was four years ago in the middle of November. I remember that morning being one of the coldest we had yet. I had to stand on the side of the road for three hours before the sun came up. By the time it actually rose, I couldn’t feel my toes. Half frozen and starving, our shoot day had barely even begun. Great. We were shooting at a restaurant in Stanley Park, Vancouver B.C. I believe it was the scene where Dakota Johnson or Anastasia Steele was having a lovely brunch with her mother, telling her about her new love interest.
