In the culmination of the Infinity Saga, the Avengers time-traveled to previous movies of the MCU. The universe of films built the moment where they would eventually have to fight Thanos.

Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and Ant-Man went to 2012. This was the first time the Avengers fought together. Hulk sought out Doctor Strange but found The Ancient One instead. Iron Man, Cap, and Ant-Man went to Avengers Tower. And while this was…

When the Black Widow trailer dropped, fans were treated to a pot full of new information. The three minute or so video was stuffed to the brim. Several new characters were introduced. We even saw a couple of old friends. But besides flashbacks with Hawkeye and Nick Fury, we did not see any of her other Avengers friends.

Fans just love their theories. Some are ridiculous. But some actually make sense when you think about them. Remember the theory that Old Man Cap from Avengers: Endgame went on to become the children’s television host, Mr. Rogers? Yep, we thought that was ridiculous, too. But now there’s a new theory that suggests that Star-Lord is Captain America’s grandson. If this was true, I’m sure Peter Quill watched his grandpa as a child before meeting him to take down his future father-in-law. Reddit user, u/chill_bishop, concocted this outrageous theory. But this could be placed in the well-thought-out category. The theory…

Hela destroyed Mjolnir in Thor: Ragnarok. Therefore, the Thunder God (not the God of Hammers) needed a weapon to kill Thanos. In Avengers: Infinity War, he traveled to Nivadellir with Rocket and Groot. The giant dwarves crafted his hammer. So they should be able to craft a new weapon. Though, most of them were killed after Thanos had them make the Gauntlet. Peter Dinklage’s Eitri was the only one left. Therefore, with Groot’s help, he made Stormbreaker. The ax may not have achieved its purpose in Infinity War. But at the very beginning of Avengers: Endgame, Thor sliced the villain’s…

Clamor for #ReleaseTheSnyderCut has been bigger than ever recently. Since Zack Snyder left the helm of 2017’s Justice League, fans knew there was a cut other than the messy theatrical version. Therefore, such clamor has rung for two years now. But actors Ben Affleck, Jason Mamoa, and Gal Gadot have shared images from the mythical version. And Zack Snyder himself has claimed it existed. The clamor grew exponentially when Variety published an article last week. They claimed an insider told them that its release was a “pipe dream.” This was shortly after the rumor it would be available to stream…

Zack Snyder set out with a vision for the cinematic DC universe. It was to rival the MCU. Though, right from the gate, his vision was quite controversial. There were many negative thoughts about Man of Steel. The filmmaker tried to answer those complaints with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But that film ushered even more balks. Then, as he set to round his trilogy out with Justice League, he wasn’t able to finish. Therefore, Avengers’ director, Joss Whedon, developed a theatrical release with contradictory tones. Despite his departure, Snyder had more to his story in the pipeline. Mixed…

So, there’s this theory that Frozen and its sequel exists in the Marvel Universe. When the first movie was released, many fans made comparisons between Elsa and the X-Men. Disney owns both the MCU and the Pixar productions of Frozen, Toy Story, Wreck-It Ralph, and so forth. Disney crossovers are happening left and right. There are the Kingdom Hearts video games. And Disney/Pixar produced the Marvel comic adaptation of Big Hero 6. With the release of Frozen 2, the Marvel theory further cements itself. ScreenRant published an article about their theory that Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf are mutants. They…

James Gunn turned out two Guardians of the Galaxy films before Disney fired him over decade-old Tweets. He was hard at work on the script for the third installment upon his termination. Several of the cast clamored his return. Dave Bautista even threatened to quit the MCU. Kevin Feige ultimately talked Disney into rehiring him. But Gunn already signed on to a film for the other side. Therefore, he needs to finish The Suicide Squad before he returns to his Marvel helm. Before the mishap, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was scheduled for next year. Now, there will be…
