Stay with me here – because Marvel Universe Live! does just that, by inviting more than 25 of their characters to step from the comic book onto the arena floor.

An upcoming film looking at how vast and strong the world’s rat population is becoming is going to be just as horrifying as you’d imagine, according to its first trailer.

Morgan Spurlock’s documentary RATS looks like a major wake-up call to those who don’t have a phobia about the verminous creatures, and a 84-minute nightmare for those that do.

Readers of a squeamish disposition ought to prepare themselves for parasites, nasty close-ups and… whatever the hell is in that wooden carrier case, before watching the trailer below.

The house in which Harry Potter lived in a cupboard under the stairs could be yours – if you have nearly half a million kicking around.

The property in Bracknell, near Reading, was picked by producers to act as 4 Privet Drive, the home of Harry’s uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and cousin Dudley Dursley.

Sadly due to logistical problems it was only used for the very first film in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, but it is now arguably one of the most famous houses in the world, after being replicated for the following… Read the full story

Fast & Furious fans may yet see Paul Walker’s character Brian O’Conner return in future installments.

According to Paul’s brother Caleb, Vin Diesel is keen to include Paul – who tragically died in 2013 aged 40 – in upcoming sequels.

Caleb acted as a stand-in for scenes of Furious 7 as Paul died in a car accident before the project was completed and he says Vin, 49, is keen to be respectful about including the character again.

Renee Zellweger has revealed that the script for Bridget Jones’s Baby had no ending, in a bid to stop the plot from leaking to eager fans.

Instead, the film’s trio of screenwriters, comprised of author Helen Fielding, comedy scribe Dan Mazer, and actress Emma Thompson, kept things deliberately vague in a bid to keep fans in the dark.

They even came up with two endings which were both filmed separately to keep the whole plot under wraps.

Green Day star Billie Joe Armstrong is appearing in a rom com sparking confusion and excitement among fans.

The 44-year-old American Idiot singer plays a punk rock dad (which shouldn’t be a stretch for the punk singing dad-of-two) called Perry in new film Ordinary World.

Perhaps inspired by Beyonce’s recent ‘visual album’ Lemonade, it could be that Billie Joe is making a ‘visual full-length feature with music’ as he is soundtracking the entire thing as well as starring as the lead character.

Co-starring Selma Blair as a rather frustrated-looking wife Karen, and Judy Greer as an old flame who offers him a second chance at stardom, BJA took to Twitter to share ‘the trailer for Billie Joe’s upcoming movie’.

The announcement immediately caused confusion for fans baffled by his word… Read the full story

It stemmed from the popular theory that Elsa is gay, and her wanting to conceal her powers is a metaphor for her hiding her sexuality.
