Marvel has really been on a role these last few months. Iron Man 3 was a huge hit, ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. scored huge ratings for television this past Tuesday, and November 8th will see the debut of Thor: The Dark World. In order to prep us for the sequel to 2011’s Thor, Yahoo! has released a short featurette that doesn’t really tell us anything new, but does get us excited for the film nonetheless with a little bit of new footage from the film, and brief interviews with Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki).

Every comic and movie geek around the world knows how fans reacted nearly a month ago to the news of Ben Affleck being cast in Zack Snyder’s Batman vs. Superman. Essentially, it was the same thing that happened to Michael Keaton, Heath Ledger, and Anne Hathaway with other Batman films (all three actors were viciously maligned before their film came out, and generally well-received after fans saw their work in context), and yet people seem to somehow think that their negative reaction to Affleck actually means something this time around. Who are they kidding?

Well, as expected, Ben Affleck feels the same way, and he has finally commented publicly on the news on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. You can check out the clip after the jump!

It’s been two years since Warner Brothers released the last film in the Harry Potter series based on the popular books by J.K. Rowling. But today, it was announced that there are more stories to tell, although not about Harry Potter.

Fans already know about Harry Potter’s textbook, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (currently available for anyone to purchase). The book takes the reader outside of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, exploring what magical happenings occur elsewhere in the world, and claims to be authored by a fictional character named Newt Scamander. But today’s announcement from Warner Brothers lets us know that we will soon have far more than just a textbook when it comes to the tales told within. Rowling will in fact be re-teaming with the studio to pen screenplays for a film series based on the textbook and Newt Scamander! Read on for the official press release!
