Image via DC Comics Jimmy Olsen had a rough ride in the DCEU. Superman’s pal was introduced in the opening of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, only to be quickly revealed as a CIA agent and summarily executed with a shot to the head. Olsen fans took this as a major insult, so hopes are high that James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy will finally deliver a live-action version that can match the comic-book counterpart.

Since her iconoclastic casting as Captain Marvel, Larson has been a polarizing figure who represents a challenge to the status quo, which makes her seem threatening to some who respond by persecuting her.

The Kang the Conqueror actor hasn’t officially been charged with any offenses as of yet, but he is staring at allegations of strangulation, assault and harassment. Naturally, his team has been quick to deny any wrongdoing on the 33 year-old’s…

Screengrab via Paramount The controversy surrounding 2008’s comedyTropic Thunder is currently making headlines once again thanks to the film’s star and director, Ben Stiller.  For context, Tropic Thunder follows actors as they attempt to shoot a major motion picture about soldiers.

That was an honor that fell to Robert Downey Jr. in the first four assemblies of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, with second-billed Chris Evans also out of the picture, and there are plenty of candidates worthy of the accolade. Maybe…
