Wolverine/Deadpool Would Require Major Restructuring
While Deadpool writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese would love to bring Hugh Jackman's Wolverine into the world of Ryan Reynold's Deadpool, there's simply no room for a crossover the way things are laid out right now.
When asked by The Playlist if Jackman's involvement would affect Fox's current plan, Reese said, "Yeah, it would, if you think about it."
He then cited 20th Century Fox's plans for Deadpool 2 and Deadpool 3, as well as X-Force, saying, "there’s not necessarily room for

This Anime’s Take on Sex and Sexuality Is Painfully Good
About five minutes into Scum’s Wish I knew I needed to watch all available episodes. It’s gorgeous, and its problematic drama is just as captivating. Few anime — or TV shows for that matter — tackle sex and sexuality in high school with as much tact or give its characters as much respect as Scum’s Wish.
Scum’s Wish is about two high schoolers, Hanabi and Mugi, who agree to date each other in an attempt to assuage their passions for the people they can’t date. The two people they’re actually in love with are teachers at their school, and that daily proximity starts to take a toll on the students as the teachers start flirting with each other.
Hear Mark Hamill as Swamp Thing in Justice League Action
Since Batman: The Animated Series debuted 25 years ago, Mark Hamill has memorably provided the voice of DC Comics villain the Joker in many different projects. These days, Hamill is back as Joker in the recently-debuted Justice League Action animated series on Cartoon Network, but he's also adding another DC Comics character to his impressive list of animation credits, as he takes on voicing the role of Swamp Thing.
Hamill's first episode as Swamp Thing, called "Zombie King," airs this Saturday, and IGN has an exclusive clip. See what happens when Solomon Grundy (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) unleashes a horde of zombies, with Swamp Thing ready to fight him. But given the odds, can Swamp Thing stop Grundy and his undead minions on his own?
Star Wars: Hamill Defends Jake Lloyd and the Prequels
Luke Skywalker star Mark Hamill has come forward to defend George Lucas' much-criticized Star Wars prequel films, as well as young Anakin Skywalker actor Jake Lloyd.
"I couldn't believe some of the things they wrote about the prequels," Hamill said in an interview with Vulture, adding that he's "still angry about the way they treated Jake Lloyd" for his performance in Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace.
"He was only ten years old," Hamill continued, noting that Lloyd "did exactly what George
wanted him to do." He also acknowledged the film had "clunky dialogue" and that while he "has issues with George

How Riverdale Remixed Archie’s Main Character
Riverdale's DNA is taken straight from the Archie Comics, but this is not the version of Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead that your grandparents grew up with. As much Twin Peaks as it is a high school drama, the new CW TV show remixes Archie in a lot of significant ways.
But the show still needed to remain Archie at its core, and that was the fine line Archie Comics Chief Creative Officer and Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa needed to walk in Riverdale's execution. While it's a murder mystery that he promises will be resolved by the end of Season 1, "the challenge of the show -- or the fun of the show -- is to solve and service both the mystery and the relationships."
