Production Begins On Legends of Tomorrow Episode “Amazing Grace”
Legends of Tomorrow fans are going to have to wait a little longer for the return of the show, but in the meantime the show’s stars are getting back to work.
Both Dominic Purcell and Nick Zano, who play Mick Rory/Heat Wave and Nate Heywood/Steel respectively, shared photos to Instagram indicating that the cast was back to work filming for the series.

While Purcell’s photo doesn’t show much more than a typical Mick Rory facial expression, Zano’s photo gives us a glimpse at the upcoming title for episode 14.

As for what figure “Amazing Grace” might refer to, that’s anyone’s guess, though Legends star Caity Lotz (Sara Lance/White Canary) posted a photo on her own Twitter account showing her hair done in a curled style with the caption “My 1950s house wife or running for office Hair.”

It was enough for fans to speculate that the “Grace” in the episode title might refer to Grace Hopper, United States Navy rear admiral and pioneer of computer programming whose work led to the development of COBOL, an early high-level computer programming language that is still in use today. Hopper was referred to as “Amazing Grace” because of her accomplishments.
Whatever the meaning of the title, fans have to wait until the return of the show on Feb. 26 with the premiere of the tenth episode titled “Daddy Darhkest.”

Venom: First Look At Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock
Thanks to IGN, we have gotten our first look at Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, aka the man that becomes Venom!
Check it out:
Okay… so it’s not a very exciting first look photo, but, as IGN notes, it does tell us some things about the character.
First, it appears that Hardy’s Brock is indeed a reporter, just like his comic book counterpart. This would appear to bely rumors and theories that the film will take a cue from the Venom character’s later incarnation which found the alien symbiote weaponized and turned longtime Spider-Man supporting character Flash Thompson into a super-soldier.
This is the first movie to expand the Spider-Man universe outside of Peter Parker, actually, Tom Holland isn’t expected to appear at all in the film.
Venom also stars Jenny Slate, Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed.
The movie is set to hit screens Oct. 5.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Cast Have a New Years Balloon Drop Fail
When your balloon drop fails, but you’ve still got your friends.
Happy New Year from Marvel’s #AgentsofSHIELD! pic.twitter.com/TmW5ArWAn9— Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (@AgentsofSHIELD) December 31, 2017
The cast of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. rang in the new year with a celebratory balloon drop… but it didn’t go quite as planned.
Not only is this a fun video, it gives a sense of how far the series has come. When Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. launched in 2013, Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson was the star. Now, he essentially shares that position with Chloe Bennet’s Daisy Johnson. Notice that the intro here is shared between the two actors, signifying Bennet’s rise as the series has progressed.
You can check out the video above on the shows official Twitter page.
Season 5 of the show has launched the team on a new cosmic journey, one that has taken them to a dystopian future timeline. They’re stranded on a future in which the Earth was shattered, apparently by the powers of Daisy Johnson herself. The last episode saw Fitz join them in this disastrous future, and his mission is to somehow save both his friends and the world itself.
This season started later than usual which puts the ending right before Avengers: Infinity War hits theatres. Fans continue to speculate that season 5 will tie into the movie.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns Jan. 5 with ‘Fun and Games’ on ABC.

Gillian Anderson to Leave X-Files After Season 11
As the 10-episode season return of X-Files draws near, fans can also prepare to say goodbye to the beloved Dana Scully.
Gillian Anderson raised suspicion back in October at New York Comic Con about her departure from the show, but in a recent interview with TV Guide she confirmed this will be her last season.
“I’ve said from the beginning this is it for me,” said Anderson. “I was a bit surprised by people’s [shocked] reaction to my announcement because my understanding was that this was a single season.”
Fox has not committed to any other seasons after the 11th, however series creator Chris Carter insists to TV Guide that he did not craft the last episode as a series finale. “There are a lot more X-Files stories to tell,” he said. “Whether we get to tell them is a question mark.”
The series returns Jan. 3 @ 8/7 c.
