Scarlett Johansson has reportedly left the film Rub and Tug after yet another casting controversy, this time regarding her being cast in the role of a trans man.

Riverdale’s season one might have just ended, but that doesn’t mean that production has gone off for a summer vacation. TVLine is reporting that Jughead’s dad, FP Jones, played by Skeet Ulrich is being upgraded to a series regular. The difference between a recurring character and a series regular is that the former type of […]

It wasn’t long ago that Floriana Lima, who plays Maggie Sawyer on CW’s Supergirl, had gotten the bump from a recurring character to a series regular. Now it seems that Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) might have scared her off with having proposed to Maggie in the season finale. It ended without her having given an answer to […]

In the “silly reasoning” file for the day, it seems that in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, the villain was originally going to have been a female character.
