Jackman Hopes to Keep Playing Wolverine Until He Dies
Hugh Jackman has said that the recasting of Wolverine is "inevitable," but the actor has decided that he would like to keep playing the Marvel superhero until he dies.
The actor told Cigar Aficionado (via E! Online) that he was inspired after watching Michael Keaton in Birdman, saying, “I said to my wife, ‘The moral is that I should never stop playing Wolverine. I’ve got to find a way to keep playing him until I die.’ I know that someday they’ll recast the role with another actor…I’d be happy if the role was eventually recast. It would mean that it had become iconic.”
Fifty Shades of Grey Still on Top Despite Huge Drop
Audiences remained all tied up with Fifty Shades of Grey this weekend despite the erotic drama's massive 73% plummet since its record-breaking opening last weekend.
Fifty Shades of Grey topped the North American box office again with an estimated $23.2 million. The film's domestic total so far is $130.4 million; its global cume stands at $410.6 million.

Michael Bay, Megan Fox “Winners” at This Year’s Razzies
The 35th Golden Raspberry Awards were held last night, honoring the very best of the very worst movies that somehow managed to make their way onto our screens the previous year.
Transformers 4 led the race with six nominations, but it was Kirk Cameron who proved to be the big winner, taking home four out of the ten Razzies doled out that night, including Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay.
Megan Fox, Cameron Diaz, and Michael Bay also received an award for their, ahem, efforts, and even Ben Affleck got his hands on a special Razzie.
Below is the full list of "winners" from last night's ceremony for 35th Golden Raspberry Awards:
Can The Walking Dead’s New Character Be Trusted?
It can't get any worse, right? That's a sentence no one should ever say about The Walking Dead. When the survivors are down, they almost always get kicked in the gut. Last week's episode saw a lightning storm hit Rick and his team while they were already at their lowest, and it's hard to say whether things will look up in "The Distance."
As the storm abates, the group meets someone who seems friendly. They haven't had much luck with trusting strangers in the past though so it's hard to imagine them being welcoming. Get a glimpse of Abraham in photos from tonight's new episode, as they debate whether they can trust this newcomer.

Mad Men: Final Episodes Might Not Be Set in the 1960s
A trailer for AMC’s Mad Men: Final Episodes appears to be hinting at a jump ahead in the show’s time frame.
Diana Ross’ 1976 number one single “Love Hangover” plays over a montage in the teaser, showing an assortment of the show’s characters in a very 1970s aesthetic.
For six and a half seasons, the popular drama starring Jon Hamm as Don Draper has run its course through the 1960s, with the first half of season seven taking place in 1969. It has been assumed the show would conclude with the end of the decade. It is still possible of course, as Mad Men is notorious for keeping plot details secret.
At a recent press event, Mad Men creator Matt Weiner talked about season seven's production. He acknowledged purposely structuring “two premieres and two finales” due to the season's split over two years. He said the final episodes will “use the opportunities to advance the story in a different way” and “each one of them feels like the finale of the show.”
Report: Wonder Woman Movie to Film This Fall

Wonder Woman will be directed by Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead), with a script penned by Jason Fuchs.
Black Sails: Toby Stephens on the Big Flint Reveal
Note: Major spoilers for the latest Black Sails episode -- from February 21st -- follow!
All season on Black Sails we've seen flashbacks to the past of Captain James Flint (Toby Stephens) set in London, showing him when he was a very different man - a Royal Navy lieutenant named James McGraw. But this week's episode, "XIII", finally gave us the biggest reveal yet - that Flint was in a romantic relationship with his friend Thomas Hamilton (Rupert Penry-Jones), one that was known and accepted by Thomas' wife Miranda (Louise Barnes). This reveal about what Thomas truly meant to Flint puts an entirely new perspective on Flint and his actions since and how he was shaped by these events.

Battlin' Jack Murdock is, of course, Matt Murdock/Daredevil's boxer father, but it's his opponent that has people talking - as Carl "Crusher" Creel is Marvel villain the Absorbing Man. What's interesting though is that we already met Creel/Absorbing Man just this past fall in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as he was introduced via a two-episode stint on Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.
