  • Marvel's Kevin Feige Says Spider-Man Costume Redesign Won't Be Like Sam Raimi, Marc Webb Versions

    Marvel President Kevin Feige answered burning questions about the latest Spider-Man reboot at an 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' event -- including the costume of the web-shooting superhero. When inquiries about the outfit ensued, Feige admitted to favoring the Sam Raimi costume over the one used in Marc Webb's films. Despite his preference, Marvel already has a look in place, reported ComicBook.com. "I was more involved in the Raimi ones ['Spider-Man 1,' '2' and '3'] and think they did a very good job.

"And yet ours is classic Spidey, as I think you'll see."
  • Coachella 2015: Porter Robinson Premieres Nero "The Thrill" Remix [LISTEN]

    While everyone is focused on the fact that Madonna made out with Drake for an uncomfortable amount of time to cap off Coachella 2015, there was a lot of music performed as well. Since Coachella is such a major event in the beginning of the festival calendar, many artists come equipped with new music to premiere. Porter Robinson did just that, having not unveiled any new music since his critically acclaimed August 2014 debut artist album 'Worlds,' where he stepped away from club music and focused on songwriting. Robinson took a similar approach with his new remix of U.K. electronic trio Nero's recent single "The Thrill."
