While many jumped to conclusions about what Tom Holland’s big announcement was going to be today, this isn’t what we were expecting. Instead of the “Spider-Man 4” or “Fantastic Four” news some outlets claimed was coming, we get a little theater news. Holland will apparently lead a new revival of “Romeo & Juliet” being developed (and directed) by Jamie Lloyd. It’s being described as a “pulsating new vision of Shakespeare’s immortal tale of wordsmiths, rhymers, lovers and fighters.” Lloyd’s other theatrical credits include “Sunset Boulevard” starring Nicole Scherzinger, “A Doll’s House” starring Jessica Chastain, and “Betrayal” starring Tom Hiddleston. This is a big…

If there’s one thing we can count on fan conventions for, it’s Q&A’s with some of our favorite stars. Well, bless some enterprising fans at this past weekend’s MegaCon in Orlando for asking something. Paul Bettany just answered a pretty big and burning fan question. Will we see the return of Avenger Vision? Is he actually…done-done? “Can you tell us anything, in any way shape or form, will Vision return? Are you going to return in the MCU,” the fan asked during a spotlight panel with the “A Knights Tale” star. “Uh, yeah,” Bettany answered. And of course, the audience…

We’ve all been a little curious to see what Tim Burton’s next project was going to be. Yes, we know that “Beetlejuice 2” is officially on the release docket for this year, as well as “Wednesday” season 2. But what about yet another classic pulpy film?
