Halle Berry in Talks for Kingsman 2
Halle Berry is in talks to join the cast of Kingsman 2, the follow-up to Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Secret Service.
Some spoilers follow for the original Kingsman.
Berry would play the head of the CIA, and according to Deadline, is eyeing a two-picture deal. This will bring her back to Fox, where she's starred as Storm in four X-Men films.
Julianne Moore is also reportedly joining the film. Taron Egerton will return, but Colin Firth may not. Though Firth's character died in the first film, comic book writer Mark Millar wants him to be a part of the sequel in some way. Details are thin regarding the film's plot.

The Flash and Aquaman Movies Won’t Be Origin Stories
While both Jason Momoa's Aquaman and Erza Miller's The Flash will receive their own standalone films following the release of Justice League: Part One, neither will be origin stories.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal (via ComicBook.com), producer Charles Roven revealed that both solo films pick up after the events of Justice League and continue the stories of each respective character. "While each movie stands alone, they’re all part of one long arc of storytelling," Roven explained.

CW Renews Flash, Arrow, Legends, The 100, iZombie, More
The CW has renewed their entire current lineup, with every scripted series they've ran in the current TV season so far securing a pickup for another year. The network handed out 11 renewals today, including The Flash (for Season 3), Arrow (Season 5), Legends of Tomorrow (Season 2), The 100 (Season 4), iZombie (Season 3), Supernatural (Season 12), Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Season 2), Jane the Virgin (Season 3), Reign (Season 4), The Vampire Diaries (Season 8) and The Originals (Season 4).
Said CW president Mark Pedowitz, in a statement, "As we continue to further our strategy of more year-round original programming, picking up these 11 series for the 2016-17 season puts us in a great position of having proven, high-quality shows to launch in the fall as well as midseason and summer of 2017."
Hearthstone: Whispers of the Old Gods Revealed
Whispers of the Old Gods will be the next Hearthstone expansion, Blizzard has announced.
Packs containing the 134 new cards included in the set will be available for gold, real money, or as rewards in the Arena. They will feature cards based on C’Thun, N’Zoth, Yogg-Saron, and Y’Shaarj — a.k.a the Old Gods — and their followers.
Blizzard teased at least one new mechanic, wherein cards affiliated with a certain god will power up that minion whether it's in the player's hand, on the board, or just in their deck. The card in question, C'Thun, will be a 6/6 creature for 10 mana with a battlecry that deals its attack damage "randomly split among all enemies."
Whispers of Old Gods won't launch until late April or early May of this year. When it does, however, it will bring the promised Standard Hearthstone format along with it. Those who play Standard with Whispers of the Old Gods cards will even unlock new quests for ranked matches.

EverQuest Next Canceled, ‘Wasn’t Fun’ Says Developer
EverQuest Next, the successor to the long-running MMO series, is no more.
A statement issued by Daybreak Games president Russell Shanks claims the game simply "wasn't fun," and "would not meet the expectations" associated with the franchise.
This comes nearly a year after Daybreak shifted focus from Landmark, another of its MMO projects, specifically to work on Next. And it seems as though the studio isn't done with Everquest just yet.
Little Prince Loses Distributor Week Before Release
Paramount Pictures has confirmed to IGN that they will no longer release The Little Prince, which was set to open in theaters next Friday, March 18.
The studio didn't provide a reason for why they opted to drop the film so close to opening day.
The film's official site and trailer still bear the Paramount logo. The studio's publicity site still had assets for the movie available as of today, March 11.
Mark Osborne directed the movie, which is based on the classic tale published in 1943. The Little Prince's voice cast includes Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Paul Rudd, Marion Cotillard and Benicio Del Toro.
13 Best Dragon Ball Z Fights Ever
When it comes to crazy, over-the-top fights, look no further than Dragon Ball Z. The entire series is built around them, with pretty much every arc ending in an epic brawl. But which are the best of the best? We've broken it down.
These are Dragon Ball Z’s 13 flashiest, most epic, and most meaningful battles.
- Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F Movie
The first entry in our list is also one of the most recent. In Dragon Ball Z Resurrection F, the most recent DBZ movie, we are treated to a great fight sequence between Frieza’s army and the defenders of Earth. These warriors are often left out of the spotlight, since their power simply doesn’t compete with that of Goku and the many supervillains. But during Resurrection F we get to see Krillin, Tien and others blasting away Frieza’s henchmen with one special Ki blast after another. Even Master Roshi joins in on the fun, which is a rare sight indeed, making the fight scene all the better!
