The Rock Says…The Rock Will Not Be at WrestleMania

As WrestleMania 34 fast approaches, speculation about which WWE legends might return has reached a fever pitch.

The Rock's name has been tossed around a few times, as someone who could either make a surprise appearance in a segment with Elias or as part of the Ronda Rousey match, which he himself helped facilitate when he and Rousey appeared together back at WrestleMania 31 and clashed with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.

According to The Rock however, The Rock won't be there.

During a press interview with Chris Van Vliet for his new movie Rampage (you can watch the clip in the link), Dwayne Johnson remarked "You will not see me there."

Why Krypton Succeeds Where Gotham Failed

With Krypton making its debut on Syfy last month, we now have two live-action TV series set before the rise of an iconic DC hero. Krypton explores the struggles of Superman's grandfather, Seg-El, while Gotham has spent the past four years chronicling the rise of the future Commissioner Jim Gordon and Batman's rogues gallery. One thing both shows share in common is that they're not content simply to anchor themselves in the past. Both series devote a lot of time and energy to introducing characters and elements from the present-day DC Universe. But while that's often been one of the larger flaws with Gotham over the years, in Krypton's case it's helping to build a more compelling story.

Gotham’s Jerome Takes Final Step Toward Being Joker…But is It a Trick?

Not that there's been any real doubt about Cameron Monaghan's Jerome being the un-official Joker for FOX's Gotham, but this past week's episode, "Mandatory Brunch Meeting," pushed the character even closer toward iconic-Joker status.

Yes, on top of having his own face sewn on to his face, the joker card Easter egg from a few weeks ago, this week's "One Bad Day" reference, and many more Joker hallmarks, Jerome acquired his first ever batch of Joker Venom/Joker Gas this week. It's not labeled as Smylex, or anything of that ilk, as of yet, but it has the exact same effects.

The "test subject" Jerome acquired at the end was exposed to the chemicals, burst into a fit of laugher, developed a gruesome grin, and then died. As Gotham's fourth season barrels toward its endgame, Jerome plans to unleash this toxin on the city.

Hayley Atwell on How Her Howards End Character Compares to Peggy Carter

A four-part miniseries based on E. M. Forster's classic novel, Howards End - previously, and famously, adapted into a movie in 1992 featuring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson - premieres on Starz this Sunday, April 8th.

Starring Hayley Atwell and Matthew Macfadyen, Howards End recounts the tale of social conventions, codes of conduct and class relations in turn-of-the-century England, focusing on three families of varied levels of wealth (or lack thereof). Atwell stars as Margaret Schlegel (the character Thompson portrayed in the film), who along with her more impulsive sister Helen (Philippa Coulthard) are living relatively liberated lives in Edwardian London along with their aunt (Tracey Ullman).
