In the 2013 film Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark faced off against Aldrich Killian, played by Guy Pearce.
But in an interview with Uproxx Black, who also co-wrote the movie, revealed that Killian was a woman in an early version of the script.

Some people say that the film industry is running out of original ideas.
Those people could well be right as news reaches us that classic video game Tetris is being turned into a live action film.
And not just one movie but a trilogy. Because watching the dramatic arc of coloured blocks falling at varying speeds down the screen needs three films not just one.

Tetris: The Movie will be a China and US co-production under Threshold Global Studios.
Fans reacted (quite rightly) with dismay at the news.
