Although it grew increasingly unlikely that Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman would reunite for a third HELLBOY film, thereby completing their trilogy, that didn't stop fans from holding out hope that Hellboy might return one day, and return he did, just not in the form they were expecting.

'Grey's Anatomy' Star Chandra Wilson on Bailey's Health: She 'Needs to Take Care of Herself'

Another original "Grey's Anatomy" character might be in danger, and fans want answers. The threat emerged not in last week's episode itself, but in the promo for this week's, Episode 11, "(Don't Fear) the Reaper." The short clip showed Dr. Miranda Bailey ( Chandra Wilson ) telling a nurse that she might be having a heart attack. So far, we don't know whether or not her health situation is truly dire, but with all the key characters we've seen killed off over the years, we wouldn't put anything past show creator Shonda Rhimes. We do feel somewhat comforted, though, by what Wilson recently told EW . She was purposefully vague in order to not spoil the episode's plot, but her hints did seem to indicate that Bailey will be sticking around and just needs less stress in her life. "Let's say Bailey has been stressed," she said. "Is Bailey leaving? I think this is the right thing to say: Bailey's been stressed and n...

Over a decade ago, HARRY POTTER author J.K. Rowling revealed that Albus Dumbledore was gay and had even been in love with Gellert Grindelwald before their falling out.

J.K. Rowling Had a Snarky Response to 'Fantastic Beasts' Criticism

After years of being a darling in progressive circles, J.K. Rowling has found herself the subject of some people's ire. First, it was the decision not to fire Johnny Depp , and now, it's what some critics see as a representation problem. However, Rowling isn't taking their anger quietly. The "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" screenwriter found herself facing backlash after director David Yates told EW that Albus Dumbledore's sexuality wouldn't be referenced "explicitly" in the upcoming film. Fans had understandably been expecting that aspect of the character (played by Jude Law ) to play heavily into the plot given what Rowling has told us of his feelings toward Grindelwald (Depp) in the past, so they were outraged by Yates's response. However, as Rowling pointed out on Twitter, none of these naysayers have read her screenplay, nor have they seen the entire five-film series. She also revealed that some people have been sending...

"Downton Abbey" may be boarded up (for now), but creator Julian Fellowes is ready to take viewers to the past again. NBC has ordered a 10-episode season of "The Gilded Age," which is set in 1880s New York. It will mark Fellowes' first series following the award-winning "Downton Abbey." The period drama, expected to premiere in 2019, focuses on "a period of immense social upheaval, of huge fortunes made and lost, and of palaces that spanned the length of Fifth Avenue." For "Downton Abbey" fans, Cora Crawley was a product of this time period as a rich American heiress, but she traveled across the pond to find a noble husband. The show follows Marian Brook, a wide-eyed daughter from a conservative family who wants to infiltrate the wealthy neighbors. That clan includes ruthless railroad tycoon George Russell, rakish son Larry, and ambitious wife Bertha. But their "new money" proves an obstacle to gaining the favor of th...

Albus Dumbledore may be gay, but you won't find any evidence of that in "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald." A decade ago, "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling outed the venerable headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Fans hoped that "Fantastic Beasts" would show that side of young Dumbledore, played by Jude Law in the sequel. But director David Yates told Entertainment Weekly that the movie won't reference Dumbledore's sexuality. "Not explicitly," he said. "But I think all the fans are aware of that. He had a very intense relationship with Grindelwald when they were young men. They fell in love with each other's ideas, and ideology and each other." Still, Dumbledore may come out of the magical closet in future films, though. A couple of years ago, Rowling teased, "This is obviously a five-part story so there's lots to unpack in that relationship ... We'll see him at that for...

Trans actress Candis Cayne is heading to Seattle. "Grey's Anatomy" has cast the "Transparent" alum in a "groundbreaking" storyline about a vaginoplasty surgery.

Move over, Jay-Z. Give it up, Kendrick. There's a new rap sensation in town — "The Queen" Helen Mirren. The Oscar-winning actress faced off against fellow Brit James Corden in a "Drop the Mic" segment on his late night show. She set the cutthroat tone of the rap battle at the beginning by imperiously ordering Corden to "bow down." And things just got sharper, shadier, and side-splittingly funnier from there. Corden took his first shot with the line, "Back home she's considered the actress you have to fear. We're in America now, Meryl Streep lives here." He also referenced Judi Dench, Meghan Markle, and Mirren's ex-boyfriend, Liam Neeson. But Mirren, who next appears in "Winchester," had a devastating comeback ready. "Sorry, James, I'm not single, but know I taught your little mister to tingle." Mirren's flow had a decidedly feminist slant. She brought the house down with her last line: "Compar...

Chris Pratt takes every role seriously — very seriously. The "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" star headlines Michelob Ultra's Super Bowl ad. In it, he lands the commercial gig and starts preparing. He lifts weights at the gym, goes Method by installing a bar in his house, muses on his character's back story, and drinks a lot of the beer. Hey, it's all part of being the best Chris in Hollywood. But when he shows up to shoot the ad, Pratt gets a big pint of reality. But despite seemingly throwing back a bunch of beers in the add, there's no sign of a beer gut on the actor. Pratt shows off a majorly buff body, appearing topless in several shots.

The "X-Men" aren't assembling into "The Avengers" anytime soon. When Disney announced its plans to acquire 21st Century Fox's entertainment business, fans immediately began speculating about the integration of the latter's "X-Men" franchise into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel, of course, has been pumping out blockbusters for Disney. But the comics company had sold the rights for "X-Men" to Fox years ago. So, it seemed impossible for the characters to cross over, even there is literally a comic storyline called "Avengers vs. X-Men." Now, with the proposed acquisition, the impossible has become possible. But Marvel boss Kevin Feige hit the brakes on crossover talk in an interview with Vulture .

Marvel's latest addition to the MCU, the standalone flick " Black Panther ," held its splashy Hollywood premiere on Monday night, featuring a majorly star-studded guest list and a purple carpet fit for royalty. But that spectacle was nothing compared to what the film itself offered, with early reviews suggesting that the movie is nothing short of a masterpiece. The hyperbolic praise was a bit vague on details, thanks to a review embargo that won't lift for a few days. But what those in attendance could share should certainly entice fans to line up on opening weekend (which is already predicted to be huge, by the way, thanks to massive advance ticket sales numbers and some pretty exceptional early box office tracking estimates). Words like "iconic," "exceptional," "astonishing," and "beautiful" were tossed around, and most critics were on the same page with declarations that the film was "unlike anything Marvel has ever ...

Andrew Lincoln Previews 'Catharsis' of Carl's Death on 'The Walking Dead'

If you have to go out on "The Walking Dead," go out in style. When the AMC zombie drama returns to finish its eighth season on Feb. 25, it'll be the last episode for Carl ( Chandler Riggs ). He was bitten by a walker in the midseason finale, and since then, producers and cast members have acknowledged that this is definitely the end for the troubled teen. Andrew Lincoln , who plays Carl's dad Rick Grimes, said at least Carl's death provides "catharsis" for everybody. "I'm not going to lie to you, that was sad," he noted. "The beautiful thing is it's what we rarely do in our show — we actually give the opportunity for a goodbye. It was unusual in that regard. Usually, things happen and people are ripped from you in this world that we inhabit. Thankfully, there was some sense of catharsis on this one, because we got to leave it all out on the screen. I thought Chandler did a remarkable job, as he always has done, but particularly...

Netflix's 'Mute' Trailer Takes Alexander Skarsgard, Paul Rudd to the Future

The future is now on Netflix. The streaming service dropped the first trailer for its upcoming movie, "Mute," from director Duncan Jones ("Moon," "Source Code"). The sci-fi project is a labor of love for Jones that has been in the works for over a dozen years. Alexander Skarsgard stars as a mute bartender searching for his missing girlfriend in the grim, shadowy streets of near-future Berlin. Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux play irreverent U.S. Army surgeons who get involved with his journey, all while pursuing a mission of their own. Jones has described the story as a "sci-fi 'Casablanca,'" with noir elements in a "Blade Runner"-like dystopian world. The movie is set in the same universe as the director's "Moon" and Sam Rockwell makes a cameo as his character from that film. The project has been in development so long that Jones even called it his "Don Quixote," referencing Terry Gilliam's famo...

If something ain't broke, don't fix it. The folks over at Marvel took that to heart when creating the very first ANT-MAN AND THE WASP poster, because like the teaser poster for the first movie, there's a lot of squinting required. On a plain white background, both Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and The Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) are in their pint-sized forms but are no less deadly. Take a look...

"Fuller House" is keeping its doors open. Netflix has renewed the comedy, a spinoff of the '90s TGIF classic "Full House," for a fourth season. The announcement comes just six weeks after the second half of Season 3 began streaming on Dec. 22. Fans will be pleased to follow up on the momentous events of the Season 3 finale. [SPOILERS AHEAD] Kimmy (Andrea Barber) had successfully gotten pregnant as a surrogate for her brother Jimmy and Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin). Season 4 should also up the nostalgia factor significantly, since Danny (Bob Saget), Joey (Dave Coulier), Jesse (John Stamos) and Rebecca (Lori Loughlin) are all moving back to San Francisco. The finale also teased a possible cameo by a TGIF legend — Steve Urkel! The character (played by Jaleel White) appeared in a 1991 episode of "Full House" and series creator Jeff Franklin told TV Line he may just pop by the Tanner household once again. "I'm good friends with Jaleel, and we...
