It’s no secret that future installments of the MCU will be on Disney Plus. Phase Four was announced with limited series on the streaming service. Those will include Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki, Hawkeye and What If. She-Hulk, Moon Knight, and Ms. Marvel have also been announced. And there are speculations and rumors for others. But these won’t be like the Marvel shows before. Shows like Agents of SHIELD referenced events and characters from the movies. But with the exception of Agent Carter’s James D’Arcy in Avengers: Endgame, the movies completely ignored Marvel Television. Though, with this new…

Avengers: Endgame wrapped an era in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was called Endgame for a reason. And after our heroes finally defeated Thanos, some of them threw in the towel. Iron Man and Black Widow died. And Captain America grew old and passed his shield on. Then in Spider-Man: Far From Home, instead of calling in the Avengers to fight another worldly threat, Nick Fury called a friendly neighborhood hero. Granted, that wasn’t really Fury. But nonetheless, the Avengers are done. And the MCU will move on into new territory. Fans have speculated when another Avengers movie will be.…

An Academy Award would be a great way to commemorate this long-running portrayal. It should have been done with Jackman. And while The Revenant was arguably not Leonardo DiCaprio’s best work, he received the Best Actor award due to his prestigious career. When Disney originally released its “For…

And looking at the most popular franchises, a new study says that moviegoers are less…
