6 Reasons Why You Should Watch 'Freaks and Geeks' Right Now
Freaks and Geeks is perhaps one of the best television shows to ever grace the small screen. Serving as a launching pad for actors like Seth Rogen, James Franco, and Jason Segel, the teenage "dramedy" created by Judd Apatow and Paul Feig was the first to portray high school in a realistic way. The only sad part is it lasted just one season. Even with only 18 episodes to offer, the show left quite an impact on viewers who watched regularly and it has since become a highly-treasured cult classic.

Could These Former Child Stars End Up In The MCU? (Part 2)
Picking up from Part 1, we're taking a look at child actors, where they are now, and what roles they could potentially play in the MCU. For Part 2 we're going to look at the New Warriors, specifically as it concerns Marvel's upcoming movie Captain America: Civil War. Now we know that things in the MCU will be very different from the comic version of Civil War, due to the lack of secret identities in the MCU and movie rights to other players. So, we know that the Stamford, CT incident with The New Warriors and Nitro won't be the spark to the Civil War flame; however, that doesn't necessarily negate them from the cinematic universe. If Marvel and ABC have Damage Control in the works, don't doubt for a second that an idea for the New Warriors isn't floating around on their idea table somewhere.

Could These Former Child Stars End Up in the MCU?
I'm always looking into actors and actresses that can be plugged into my fan casting polls and recently I had this question posed to me: What ever happened to the child actors that I remember from growing up? There's no place better for that investigation/fan casting than right here on Moviepilot. Being that I'm a Marvel junkie, I thought I'd take a crack at casting these former stars into the MCU. I honestly don't know too much about DC (or Mutants for that matter), so if you have any suggestions for that casting, comment below.

Masters of Evil coming to the MCU?
With the Infinity Gauntlet storyline in full swing and the Civil War storyline coming soon(ish) to a theater near you, my mind has been twirling with the different directions that Marvel could take as these stories wrap up. As much as I'd love to see the Dark Avengers make their way to the silver screen, without the rights to Norman Osborn, I just don't see it happening; however, The Masters of Evil have been a ragtag team of villains pestering the Avengers for as long as the heroes have been around and with all of the villains around in the MCU (still alive and kicking, might I add), it would make sense that something would bring the Avengers back together after the Civil War and once one, a Mad Titan, can't take them down, villains may indeed come together--making a team of their own.

10 Superhero Comic Series We Need To See In Live Action
Superhero season is in full swing. We are fresh off the joyride that was ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ and now await, with no dearth of trepidation, the arrival of DCEU’s ‘Justice League’. Hollywood has been in reboot/remake mode for quite a while now. If we aren’t catching the third rendition of Spider-Man in a single decade, we are faced with remakes of forgotten favourites like ‘The Power Rangers’.
