Keanu Reeves Kraven the Hunter Casting Rumors Have Me Hype

Kraven the Hunter marvel

Granted, I just don't know if this is real or not. But I'm happy to know that the rumors are circulating around a Keanu type. He's more the vibe I'd want for Kraven and again, if it's not Pedro Pascal, I'll gladly watch Keanu Reeves come after my sweet boy Peter Parker.

Framing Britney Spears Doc Makes One Thing Clear: Britney Deserved Better

Internalized sexism can root itself so deep inside of you that instead of targeting the male-dominated industry that crafts women in sexist ways, we blame the women just trying to survive and do what they love within it.

Being a Black actress in Hollywood is hard, even on as successful as Zendaya. As a producer, Zendaya is giving herself the power to shape her own destiny and that is more powerful than any speech in Malcolm & Marie.

A Potential New “Adversary” in WandaVision

Wanda staring in shock at who shows up in WandaVIs

There's a lot to process about the latest episode of WandaVision. While I've been of the mindset that it's been Wanda this entire time, after this episode I had a thought. What if it's not just her? After all, it's not just Vision and S.W.O.R.D. who confront Wanda about what she's doing in Westview.

T-Shirt Design Seemingly Fills in Falcon and the Winter Soldier Plot Details for Sharon Carter

Emily Van Camp as Sharon Carter in Marvel's Captain America: Civil War.

Possibly thanks to merchandise timing being completely thrown off by pandemic release date changes, a new t-shirt design for the show not only provides some insight as to what the late Peggy Carter’s niece and onetime fling of Steve Rogers has been up to since we last caught up with her in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, it also gives us a look at how the politics of the world are operating after the Blip that saw the return of the “snapped” half of the universe.

Introducing Dorothy Dandridge Is a Powerful Reminder of the Struggles Black Actresses Still Grapple With

introducing dorothy dandridge

The film shows the life and rising star that was Dorothy Dandridge who went from the Chitlin' Circuit to a promising music career and the pinnacle of her stardom as the star of Carmen Jones in 1954. While the film doesn't cover every aspect of Dandridge's life, what the film fantastically illustrates is that the actress was a victim of the duel sins of being a Black woman in the 1950s.

lagos reference in WandaVision what does it mean?

The commercials in WandaVision have been fantastic Easter Eggs that speak to organizations and people that Wanda is connected to from the Starks, Hydra, etc. However in the most recent episode we got a slightly darker Easter Egg that hints at Wanda's mental space.
