Watch: Willem Dafoe Frightens Tom Holland on Set of Spider-Man: No Way Home

Image
Spider-Man: No Way Home saw the return of more than half a dozen characters from past Spidey blockbusters, including Willem Dafoe as the original Green Goblin from 2002's Spider-Man . After Tom Holland battled Michael Keaton's Vulture and Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio in his first two outings, Dafoe brought a new level of fear for the young hero in his third MCU solo appearance. The man behind the Green Goblin made his mark on the world of superhero movies with No Way Home , setting the record for the longest Marvel career in history, alongside his Spidey co-star Tobey Maguire. Even more impressive was that Dafoe took the opportunity to deliver an even more revered performance this time around, especially after ditching the mask he wore for his first movie 20 years ago. ADVERTISEMENT That performance largely came through alongside Holland, as the MCU's Spidey and the Goblin engaged in some of the most brutal physical battles seen in any liv...

While Marvel Studios is looking forward to big things ahead for the MCU, Avengers: Endgame still sits at the front of fans' minds as the franchise's biggest accomplishment. Becoming the second-highest-grossing movie ever made on the backs of MCU icons Tony Stark and Steve Rogers in 2019, the franchise's 22nd movie is one that fans still enjoy taking in. Recently, cast and crew members from the penultimate Phase 3 movie have given fans a look behind-the-scenes at different experiences that made Endgame such a once-in-a-lifetime event. From Sebastian Stan's stories about filming difficulties to imagery of characters almost included in the final cut, the film seems to become more legendary with each passing year.

New Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Set Photo Spells Danger for Nebula

Image
While fans are eagerly awaiting the launch of Marvel's 2022 slate, anticipation is also building for the studio's 2023 line-up, particularly James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 . Even though six years will have separated Vol. 2 from the Phase 4 threequel, the Guardians were significant players in  Avengers: Infinity War , and Karen Gillan's Nebula proved integral to 2019's Avengers: Endgame and the conclusion of the Infinity Saga.  While Endgame was the last time audiences saw the Guardians on-screen, Thor: Love and Thunder will change all that as the crew is confirmed to make an appearance in the Taika Waititi film this July.  ADVERTISEMENT However, while Thor 4 is likely to set the stage for Vol. 3 , interviews and social media posts have already given fans an idea of what to expect from the third and final Guardians film. And now, a new revealing post from Nebula's Karen Gillan teased an idea of the danger that awai...

First Look at Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Spider-Man Villain Kraven Revealed In Set Video

Following the record-breaking success of Spider-Man: No Way Home , Sony is continuing to build out its own Spider-Man Universe, which began with Tom Hardy's Venom in 2018.

First Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Set Photos Show Drax & Mantis Actors

Image
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has been a long time coming. Following the franchise's 2017 sequel, the film's third installment was delayed due to director James Gunn being let go and then rehired, followed by the pandemic, and Gunn's commitments to Warner Bros.' DC slate. Still, that's not to say that the MCU has been Guardians-less in the years following Vol 2 . The cast played a key role in  Avengers: Infinity War while Karen Gillan's Nebula went from villain to hero in Avengers: Endgame . Plus, Star-Lord, Drax, Rocket, Groot, and Mantis are expected to appear this summer in Thor: Love and Thunder  followed by the Guardians' Holiday Special coming to Disney+ later this year. ADVERTISEMENT Even though Thor 4 should set the stage for Guardians Vol. 3 , fans already know a little about the upcoming threequel and how it's expected to be an "emotional" ending to the franchise.  While that's not necessarily w...

Marvel Removes Secret Invasion Set Video From Social Media (Watch It Here)

Image
Secret Invasion  was one of the many surprise Disney+ series that Marvel Studios announced back in 2020. Since its announcement, however, there hasn't been much word about the show. Fans know that Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury will be back, alongside Cobie Smulders' Maria Hill and Ben Mendelsohn's Talos. But what exactly will they be facing? While there hasn't been much plot information, there's been plenty of new casting. For one, Emilia Clarke joined the series as an unknown character. Other names include Christopher McDonald and Irina Kara—both actors' roles aren't known at this time. ADVERTISEMENT The series started production late last year and has been filming in the United Kingdom for a majority of its shooting schedule.

Ant-Man 3 Set Video Teases Musical Montage

Image
2023's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania currently stands as Marvel Studios' last officially scheduled movie in Phase 4, set to release in theaters next July. Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are set to reprise their titular role in the biggest adventure yet for the MCU's tiniest heroes. This comes thanks to their latest exploration of the Quantum Realm and an impending meeting with Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror. Thanks to Paul Rudd's status as one of the funniest actors in the MCU, both Ant-Man films have featured plenty of comedic aspects and fun plot points to showcase Rudd's skills. While he certainly got to show his emotional side in Avengers: Endgame with his daughter Cassie, Scott Lang helps bring the ever-expansive MCU down to Earth with his adventures more often than not. ADVERTISEMENT Part of that fun in his last solo movie, 2018's Ant-Man and the Wasp , came with a fun musical montage as his house arrest sent...

Emilia Clarke's Marvel Character Fights for Her Life In New Set Video

Image
Although Marvel Studios' Secret Invasion still doesn't have a timeframe for release, the series has the MCU fandom on edge thanks to its subject matter alone. Centered around returning stars like Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn while introducing MCU newcomers like Emilia Clarke, the mini-series remains appropriately shrouded in mystery. In the simplest of terms, Secret Invasion will explore a story in which the Skrulls have invaded Earth, meaning anybody in the MCU is in danger of having been replaced and duplicated. Nick Fury and General Talos will have to join forces for the first time since Spider-Man: Far From Home as they try to uncover who these Skrulls are and what they want with Fury's home planet. ADVERTISEMENT Once these Skrulls are revealed, this will undoubtedly lead to some intense physical battles, one of the MCU's signatures from the last 14 years of storytelling. While most of those fights are being kept under wrap...

The Disney+ show recently had its first round of photos via a set leak, which came to light at the turn of the new year. With Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn's Talos back together, the MCU is about to take its storytelling up a notch. Much of the plot for Secret Invasion is still being kept under wraps, even though it features a team of A-list actors and characters coming together to bring the event to Disney+.

Fans are also adamant about celebrating Iron Man's time in the MCU in any way they see fit through conversations about the MCU's past, present, and future.

After all, Spider-Man has starred in numerous live-action franchises, popular video games, animated series, and countless comics.

Brie Larson Celebrates Captain Marvel 2's Release With New Set Photo

Image
It's been quite a while since fans have seen Brie Larson's heroic Captain Marvel. The cosmic powerhouse was first introduced in her own solo film in 2019, just before the cinematic event that was  Avengers:  Endgame . Since then, however, not much has been heard from her—aside from a cameo at the end of  Shang-Chi . The next time she's poised to show up on audiences' screens is for next year's  The Marvels . Not much is known about the film, aside from the fact that Larson won't be alone in her next adventure. Whatever threat she faces, there will be a few other Marvels alongside her.

New Black Panther 2 Set Photo Teases Underwater Scenes

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever  - despite being one of the most-anticipated films on the MCU slate - is a film that has been shrouded in controversy. The project tragically lost leading man Chadwick Boseman back in 2020, and star Letitia Wright has been the cause of plenty of headaches because of her stance on COVID vaccination. This is all on top of injuries sustained during filming. And all this has muddled what should be one of the most exciting projects to come from Marvel Studios.  Black Panther 2  is set to follow up the groundbreaking first film while introducing a whole new vertical of the Marvel world to the big screen.  ADVERTISEMENT It has been long rumored that the  Black Panther  sequel will welcome the introduction of the underwater realm of Atlantis and the famed hero Namor the Submariner.

Ms. Marvel is currently in the middle of reshoots in Atlanta, Georgia, after leading actress Iman Vellani finished filming for the Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels . The Disney+ show has received criticism from fans for its casting and changes to Kamala's powers, but many still hope these reshoots may mitigate some of these problems. Unfortunately for those fans, it's unlikely these routine reshoots for Ms. Marvel will drastically change anything already filmed for the series. But that doesn't mean that these reshoots are simply pickups, as one onlooker was able to capture a photo of Kamala Khan running away, according to the photographer, from a robotic drone.

Marvel Celebrates Chris Hemsworth's Thor With Special MCU LEGO Set

Image
Marvel Studios is set to add Thor: Love and Thunder to the Phase 4 slate in July 2022, which will mark the first time any leading MCU hero has enjoyed a fourth solo film. Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder became part of the MCU's holy trinity alongside Captain America and Iron Man throughout the Infinity Saga, often putting his Asgardian hammer Mjolnir down along the way. Thor has made his mark as one of the most powerful Marvel heroes over the last decade, showing the strength to wield iconic weaponry and call down lightning as well. Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame gave the Asgardian hero the Stormbreaker axe, which brought cheers across theaters worldwide, but it was Mjolnir that helped push the hero through most of his adventures. ADVERTISEMENT Made of Uru metal on Nidavellir, Mjolnir has made its mark on seven of the MCU's 32 projects to date, and it's far from done leaving an impact on the franchise's cosmic journe...
