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. You see Archie comics were my earliest introduction to the world of comics. They provided me with hours of entertainment and even though I might have …
Marvel Studios has a villain problem. Forgetting the sterling work done on the small screen in their Netflix shows via Daredevil‘s Kingpin and Jessica Jones‘s Killgrave, the comic book studio really only has Tom Hiddleston’s Loki to be proud of as virtually every other villain in their stable has been instantly forgettable.

Tuning into the …
Well that didn't take long. Realising that Deadpool may be a very bankable franchise for them, 20th Century Fox has already approved a Deuxpool follow-up.
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
