6 Female Characters We Should See Soon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
With the number of characters being considered for The Avengers: Infinity War at a staggering 67, and the outcry for more female representation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I've been racking my brain as to which new characters we might be seeing and how they would fit into what we currently know about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So, here's a list of the 6 characters that I believe we could be seeing in the future and where they might show up over the next several years.

Where Are They Now: The Voices Behind Disney's Princesses
Snow White - Adriana Caselotti Caselotti may have been Disney's first princess, but that wasn't her first role for them. Adriana worked at MGM as a chorus girl in 1935. No one knew what a giant success Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs would become, least of all Caselotti herself, so she signed a contract that had a restriction that ended her career — she was not allowed to appear in any other project (film, TV show, or radio) in order to keep the voice of Snow White untouched by any other character.

The 5 Biggest Unanswered Questions Left In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
Being a huge Marvel fan — of both the comics and the cinematic universe — I love knowing all of the details and idiosyncrasies of the characters and storylines that have been brought to us over the years. When it comes to the films in the MCU, there are many unresolved questions that fans still have, but these five queries are the ones that bother me the most and that have yet to be answered. I'm sure that in the next few movies some of these will be figured out (and more questions will be added to the list), but let's just take a peek into these ones and see if you have any theories or guesses as to their answers.

The Captain America: Civil War teaser during the Super Bowl was exciting, but it left me wanting more. There are a number of questions I still have, mainly about some characters that have been missing from the trailers, starting with...

...a beautifully made tribute to the book that made it famous...
I had the opportunity to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 last Tuesday and, while I think it was a beautifully made tribute to the book that made it famous, many may not be as pleased about this final installment as myself. I was not excited about the splitting of the final book into two films, thinking that it is an overdone technique just to make money; however, in this instance, I think it was the right move. Having watched Mockingjay - Part 1 the night before, Mockingjay - Part 2 picked right up where the first had left off, seamlessly continuing Katniss' story of healing after Peeta's first brainwashed attack from the end of Part 1.

10 Movie Characters That Inspire
It's no secret I'm a fan of movies (hence, my writing for Movie Pilot). One of the reasons I find films so wonderful is how clearly they can articulate a story or a character and inspire others to be better versions of themselves. Some of my favorite characters have the drive and dedication to desperately chase after their goals, which is what makes them such good characters and so profoundly important to the good storytelling they are a part of. Granted, not every movie tells a good story, but with good character development comes good storytelling, much like with the following 10 characters.

SHE Was Cast As HER in Disney's Live-Action Little Mermaid Movie?
Now, I'm not one that follows all of the live Disney princess news, but with Chloe Grace Moretz being one of the best up-and-coming actresses, hearing that she is involved with the live-action remake piqued my interest.

Where Are They Now: The Cast of RENT
Musical theater translated to the big screen has not always been appreciated by either fans of musicals nor fans of movies, though with the (subjective) success of recent films such as Into the Woods (2014) and The Last Five Years (2014), I thought we could go back to 2005 to see where the cast of RENT are now. I was in high school when RENT came out and all of my theater geek friends went to see it together and sing along, and we were not disappointed. As far as movie musicals go, RENT did a great job translating this operatic-esque show into a film that movie goers would respect as well, even having most of the original cast join for the movie. Let's take a look at what the cast has been up to in the past 10 years.
