Over the last few years, Johnny Depp has had the increasingly annoying habit of taking roles where he has to wear some silly makeup/prosthetic/costumery on his head. And it looks like he will be at it again, except this time he won’t have a head! Not one you can see anyway! Deadline are reporting that Universal have tapped Depp to …

The biggest bad around, mad titan pulling the strings across an entire trilogy of Marvel movie phases. And that's a role which requires more than just a simple voice actor to breathe life into Thanos.

With all these comic book adaptions being made for TV and cinema, The CW’s take on Archie – Riverdale – is maybe the one that has me most excited and likewise afraid, very afraid.
