At one point early on in Josh Trank’s woeful reboot of Fantastic Four, Sue Storm (Kata Mara) tells Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan), “I gotta say it’s fun having you here,” as she’s doing scientific things in the science lab she works in. It’s delivered directly and without irony, but it lands like a punchline; at this point in the movie, there’s nothing fun about Fantastic Four, and this is before the movie takes a maudlin nosedive. Once our superheroes accidentally obtain their powers, they spend much of their time complaining about them. Fun is, and remains, the last thing on anyone’s mind.

Marvel announced today that 19-year-old boy actor Tom Holland will play Spider-Man, a role previously inhabited by men, as the name suggests, in 2017’s installment of the Spider-Man franchise. What is wrong with Hollywood?

A little over a month after news broke that he was in the final stages of negotiations for the heavily-rumored-about part, Marvel has confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch will play the titular role in 2016's Doctor Strange.

When he's not busy adorably abusing children for Comedy Central, Tom Hiddleston can take credit for helping Disney and Marvel turn Thor into a franchise. In an interview with Slashfilm, Hiddleston—who plays impossibly hot supervillain Loki—shares how an offhand conversation with Marvel president Kevin Feige led to a major plot point (don't worry, it's spoiler free) for the sequel, Thor: The Dark World.

Jimmy Kimmel speaks to "Rob Ford" about drunken stupors; Cameron Diaz can't act her way out of a bad accent; superhero overkill is coming to Netflix; and Olivia Benson is getting exactly what she deserves.

Marvel's newest Ms. Marvel is going to be a Muslim teenage girl, Kamala Khan. The fictional New Jersey resident will appear in a special edition in January, and her series will debut the following month. While the new resident badass' religion is sure to ruffle some feathers, this is Marvel's second Muslim character—the first was Sooraya Qadir, aka Dust, in The New X-Men.

SNL quickly releases host announcements to refute lack of diversity claims; Charlie Hunnam seemingly overstepped his boundaries before departing 50 Shades; Alexis Bledel is trying to play half her age in a new movie; and India has a new superhero, thanks to Marvel.
