Once the con floor closes, Comic-Con attendees head out into the night to continue celebrating at fan-themed events.
After shoddy cellphone footage of the Deadpool 2 teaser trailer running before Logan hit the internet, social media savvy Ryan Reynolds slyly tweeted the official version of the video on his YouTube channel over the weekend.

Women in Hollywood consistently find themselves trying to break out of pigeon-holes created by decades of playing stereotypes. Strong personalities like Katharine Hepburn, Gloria Swanson, Bette Davis and Faye Dunaway were not afraid to play less traditional and less glamorous characters.
