This Hilarious ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Line Was Written by a Make-a-Wish Kid
Looking at Facebook or Twitter or even casting so much as a brief glance at news headlines has become a daily source of despair.

Disney Can’t Seem to Find Actors for Guy Ritchie’s Live-Action ‘Aladdin’
Disney has several live-action remakes in development, but two titles in particular have attracted a little extra attention: Aladdin and Mulan. Although pop culture is becoming increasingly socially conscious, Hollywood’s unfortunate history of whitewashing has left many (rightfully) concerned over the casting for both of these films, especially since the studio behind them doesn’t exactly have the best track record with diversity. And while Disney has made it clear that they’re committed to casting actors of relevant ethnicity in Aladdin and Mulan, a new report reveals that the studio is struggling to do so for at least one of those projects.

Rumor: ‘Deadpool 2’ Might Be Adding a Few More ‘X-Force’ Characters (Updated)
We’ve known for some time now that Fox’s plans for the, uh, edgier corner of the X-Men movie universe include Deadpool 2 and X-Force, with the former setting up the latter by way of introducing key characters Cable (Josh Brolin) and Domino (Atlanta’s Zazie Beetz).
