Love and Thunder's Potential Tie-In (Exclusive)

Image
Thor: Love and Thunder  released its first trailer recently, and fans are pumped to once again spend time with Chris Hemsworth’s God of Thunder. This time around, the former Avenger will be on a quest for peace and self-realization, one that will be interrupted by an insidious villain played by Christian Bale as Marvel Comics villain Gorr the God Butcher. As much as the project’s first full trailer had to show off, sadly, Gorr wasn’t even spotted once. But what is his deal anyway? Well, the big bad hates Gods—in fact, he goes around slaughtering them. ADVERTISEMENT Khonshu in  Moon Knight But wait, isn’t there a God at the forefront of the MCU right now? Why yes, there is: Khonshu, the Egyptian God of the Moon. The deity is the being behind Oscar Isaac’s titular hero Moon Knight, whose series is currently streaming across the world on Disney+. But is he safe from the wrath of Thor’s next bloodthirsty villain? Well, fans may have some clarificati...

Doctor Strange 2's Benedict Wong Reveals His X-Men Crossover Hope

Image
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  is just over a week away, and fans are on the edge of their seats with anticipation. The upcoming Marvel Studios project is set to take a deep dive into the many realities that make up existence. Alongside Benedict Cumberbatch's titular hero, Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch, Benedict Wong's Sorcerer, and Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez will be joining the fray. Wong has seen an expanded role in the MCU recently. As of  Spider-Man: No Way Home , the character was revealed to be the Sorcerer Supreme—a role lost to Stephen Strange thanks to being blipped. ADVERTISEMENT On top of saving existence in the upcoming film, the sorcerer has, and will likely be, a busy man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In  Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings  he can be seen overseeing Abomination, and if rumors are true, he'll be popping up for a notable role in  She-Hulk . So who would the actor want to int...

Spider-Man’s Andrew Garfield Announces He’s Taking a Break From Movies

Image
Spider-Man: No Way Home may have cracked open the Marvel Multiverse; but in this reality, Andrew Garfield has been at the center due to his roles in The Eyes of Tammy Faye , Tick, Tick... Boom! , and, of course,  Spider-Man: No Way Home . Following the latter film's release, the fan demand to revive The Amazing Spider-Man franchise dominated social media and was even acknowledged by Sony's social team.   Fans aren't the only ones eager for more of Garfield's web-slinger. The MCU's current Spider-Man, Tom Holland, has also given his "full support." The question, however, was whether both Sony and Garfield were interested.  ADVERTISEMENT When asked about his potential return, The Amazing Spider-Man star claimed that there were "No plans, that's the truth," while also acknowledging the fact that no one would believe him after his viral denials of being in  No Way Home .  However, following Sony's lack of ...

First Black Panther 2 Footage Released at CinemaCon

Image
Marvel Studios has undoubtedly suffered many challenges over the years to reach the level of success it's seeing today with the Marvel Cinematic Universe But following the tragic death of T'Challa actor Chadwick Boseman, the studio is facing its toughest task yet: continuing the  Black Panther  franchise without the star that made it such a success. Director Ryan Coogler will return to achieve that goal this year with  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever . The sequel will continue to explore the world of Wakanda and its people in the absence of the iconic King T'Challa as Marvel Studios has remained adamant it will not recast the original lead. ADVERTISEMENT Letitia Wright's Shuri, Lupita Nyong'o's Nakia, and Danai Gurira's Okoye will all reprise their MCU roles, although it's unclear who will take over the Black Panther mantle. The trio will be joined by almost every major player from the first film including Angela Bassett, M...

Tom Hiddleston Teases 'Chaotic' Loki In Season 2

Image
In summer 2021, Marvel Studios' Loki became the first Disney+ series within the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be confirmed for a second full season after Season 1 came to an end. Tom Hiddleston took his God of Mischief into a chaotic adventure from start to finish in his first solo project, and even after more than a decade of service, he's far from finished with the role. Rumors pointed to Loki making some kind of appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness after Season 1 finished, with the adopted Asgardian potentially in for pure chaos as the Multiverse comes apart at the seams. In the real world, Season 2 of Loki will begin filming in Hiddleston's home of London this summer, sending the anti-hero back with the TVA to fix the mess he and Sylvie helped start. ADVERTISEMENT Outside of returning characters like Sophia Di Martino's Sylvie and Gugu Mbatha-Raw's Judge Renslayer, Loki Season 2 remains largely a mystery wi...

Marvel Studios Announces Retreat for Next Decade of Movies

Image
While Marvel Cinematic Universe projects have become extremely commonplace in recent years, it takes years before those seeds start to sprout. Before a Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits theaters or a Moon Knight begins streaming on Disney+, they go through an extensive production and marketing process. Before that, they get a title card and a release date at a “phase” announcement. And that's just what fans see. ADVERTISEMENT The years leading up to those slate reveals are littered with extensive patience and planning. The Marvel Studios Parliament, a creative team captained by Marvel President Kevin Feige and various veteran MCU producers, assembles every couple of years to lay out the blueprint for where the entire franchise will venture next. Even with 14 years of stories already under his belt, Feige still notes he is  "as excited now as [he] was on day one"  as fan investment has helped  "keep the creative fires b...

Marvel's Blade Movie Reboot Receives 'Perfect' Working Title

Image
Marvel Studios has made two mass project announcements since initially revealing Phase 4 at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019. The first came at 2020's Disney Investor Day, and the second followed on 2021's Disney+ Day, but even across those events, details remain vague on one film from the initial Phase 4 reveal:  Blade ​​​​​​. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige concluded his 2019 Comic-Con presentation in dramatic fashion as he brought out Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali to announce him as the star of the MCU's  Blade , a moment that shocked everyone. ADVERTISEMENT But as that moment nears its third anniversary, there appears to have been minimal movement, at least publicly, regarding the production of  Blade . The reboot has picked up a few cast members, founds its head writer in Stacy Osei-Kuffour, and brought on Bassam Tariq to direct, and yet there is still no sign of a release date. Even with no public progress on the production of hi...

How Chris Evans' Captain America Influenced Moon Knight's Violence (Exclusive)

Image
Chris Evans'  Captain America: The Winter Soldier  was one of the biggest departures for the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the time. Not only was the genre, a 70s-esque political thriller, completely new, but the Russo Brother’s first MCU project also featured the evolution of action scenes for Marvel Studios. At the time, many audiences claimed them to be the best the company had put forth yet. The biggest improvement was how hard-hitting the action was. Every punch, kick, shield-smash—the viewers could feel each impact. This new level of intensity became the new norm for future projects. ADVERTISEMENT Now, enter Oscar Isaac’s  Moon Knight . The project is just over halfway through its first season on Disney+, and many have already considered it to be the most violent Marvel Studios project to date. So what do these two projects have in common? Well, it’s all in the fists. The Captain America Influence Marvel In an exclusive interview, The Direct...

This split has Isaac portraying more than one character, as well as the titular hero of the show.  But could there be more alternate personas on the way?

After years of starring in his own solo series on Netflix, Charlie Cox has finally made his way onto the big screen within the MCU as Matt Murdock, better known as Daredevil.

Sony Announces Spider-Man Spin-off Movie El Muerto

Image
As Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures reap incredible rewards from Spider-Man: No Way Home 's run at the box office, Sony continues working diligently to build its own universe of Spider-Man characters. While the first two Venom movies became somewhat successful, financially more than critically, things have not gone so well for the studio in recent times. Sony is currently reeling from the disappointing reception to Jared Leto's Morbius , which was widely panned by critics and turned in one of the lowest opening weekend box office totals in more than a decade. However, even that level of negativity isn't stopping Sony from trying to build up more characters through spin-off solo films. ADVERTISEMENT Currently, in the works are Dakota Johnson's Madame Web and Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Kraven the Hunter , both set to release next year. Now, thanks to Sony's latest public appearance, fans know of another solo movie to expect in the nea...
