Sony and Marvel Will Work Together to Make a Spider-Man Movie Universe
After eight years, Spider-Man has finally joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tom Holland's appearance as Marvel's flagship hero in Captain America: Civil War was a triumph for Marvel Studios, and it all happened thanks to an agreement with Sony. In early 2015, the news we had all waited for broke after Sony and Marvel agreed to a deal that would allow Spider-Man to appear alongside the likes of Iron Man, Captain America and the rest of Marvel's heroes.

The MCU Contract Situation: How Many Films Does Your Favourite Marvel Hero Have Left?
Here we are, well ensconced within Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the MCU continues to impress. Captain America: Civil War was, in my opinion, the best superhero film ever, so it is safe to say we are off to a good start. We're now 13 films in (I know, it really doesn't feel like it!), so I thought it might be good to have a look where we stand with regards to the actors' contract situation. It is well documented that each of the main stars signs multi-film deals, so 13 films in some are bound to be running out. Let's have a look at the state of play:

This Deleted Scene From 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Has a Cool Connection to 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'
When Spider-Man: Homecoming swung into theaters, we were delighted by its joyful tone, along with the film's homages of famous Spider-Man moments and its liberal quantity of Easter Eggs.

Silver Foxes Of The Silver Age: The 'Golden Guys' Of Comic Book Movies
Forget your Jeremy Renners and your RDJs running around a CGI screen, give us an older gent any day of the week. It looks like the upcoming Wolverine 3 movie will follow the "Old Man Logan" storyline, proving once again that comic book movies isn't just a young man's game. When 43-year-old Ben Affleck was cast as Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, some said he was too old, but as the Frank Miller/Dark Knight Returns era shows us, it is age which comes before beauty. You are only as old as you feel and let's be honest, Affleck has nothing on these guys, so let's look at the silver foxes of the comic book silver screen.

Geoff Johns Says Superman Won't Become a Nazi in DC Comics Rebirth
DC's Rebirth has been a tremendous success. The comic book reboot brought back a number of fan-favourite characters, while also breathing new life into DC's comic book sales with some excellent storytelling.

“I Want Pictures Of Spider-Man!” 7 Actors Who Could Be The New J. Jonah Jameson
He is an integral part of Spider-Man’s comic book world; a beloved presence in the Sam Raimi movies (played by J K Simmons), sorely missed in the Marc Webb adaptations, and the subject of memes aplenty, but alas, we were greeted with the news earlier this week that Simmons is to enter the DC Extended Universe as Commissioner Gordon, meaning that he is unlikely to return to harangue "that wall-crawling menace."
