Each time the Avengers get together to fight a foe (or each other), awesome things happen. Avengers: Endgame was no different. And the final battle against Thanos probably held the most fan-pleasing things. One such thing was when Captain America lifted Thor’s hammer. The moment was foreshadowed in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Cap budged the hammer then. But it was a euphoric moment not only for the fans but for Thor himself. When Cap proudly held Mjolnir, Thor uttered the line, “I knew it!” However, there is the debated element of lightning. One of the Endgame writers discussed breaking the…

Avengers: Endgame wrapped up a massive run for the MCU. Spider-Man: Far From Home was there too. But that was more like an epilogue. But Marvel Studios is not done yet. Next year, they will continue going full-force. And with Disney Plus, they plan on an even bigger presence. In 2020, we will only see two movies with Black Widow and Eternals. But they will be coupled with the first Disney Plus show, Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Then 2021 will see four movies for the first time in the MCU. Those will be Shang-Chi and the Legend of the…

Phase Four of the MCU will begin next year with Black Widow. Though Marvel Television promised shows that might have been connected, Disney Plus will actually offer shows intertwined with the movies moving forward. 2020 might only have two movies with Black Widow and Eternals. But the year will also have a limited series. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier promises to continue Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes’ story following Avengers: Endgame. It will also see the return of Zemo from Captain America: Civil War. And on October 31st, 2019, filming has begun on the first Disney Plus MCU show.…

When Stan Lee started writing Marvel comics, the scribe didn’t put much thought into things. They just happened. Henceforth, his stories were more towards the fantasy side of things, rather than science fiction. Even though many of his characters were scientists. But to be science fiction, details need to be backed by scientific facts. However, comic book writers who came along later actually added scientific facts to Stan Lee’s explanations, therefore deeming them science fiction. One such item is the matter of Hulk’s pants. Why does every other item of clothing rip off him when he transforms – yet, he…

For an unseemingly important character, Mantis was handed a large amount of screen time throughout three movies. Pom Klementieff introduced the character in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. She became an important member of the team. In the climax of the movie, she used her empathetic powers to take down Ego. Then she rolled over with the team to meet the Avengers in Infinity War and Endgame. But keep in mind, she actually became an Avenger in the comics. While she served an important role in Guardians Vol. 2, a fan pointed out her importance in the final Avengers:…

This summer was tough for Spider-Man fans. After the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home, it looked like the web-head would be leaving his true home for his old home at Sony. But after the actor, Tom Holland, got the heads at Disney and Sony back together, a bigger and better deal was made. Though aside from that, Holland’s role as Spidey seems to have been a springboard for the actor. He has a plethora of movies coming out in the near future. And one of them is a reunion with Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame directors, the Russo Brothers.…

All three MCU installments for 2019 featured Nick Fury. But, spoiler alert for the last installment, Fury was a Skrull in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Fury only made an appearance at Tony Stark’s funeral in Avengers: Endgame. But it was revealed in the post-credits of Far From Home that he was Talos from Captain Marvel. But how long had the Skrull been impersonating Fury? One fan theorizes that Talos had been masquerading as the former SHIELD director since Captain America: The Winter Soldier. u/Jacob_wallace posted to the r/FanTheories subreddit community. His particular fan theory is that Talos replaced Fury in…

Fans are waiting to see if Jon Bernthal will get to reprise Punisher in the MCU. In the meantime, the comics have been playing around with the character. Ghost Rider was recently given a cosmic upgrade. So now, The Punisher has received a similar treatment. Amazing Spider-Man: Full Circle #1 hit shelves on October 23rd. The comic was a ninety-page issue. It featured several one-shot stories from some of Marvel’s heaviest hitters. Among those were Nick Spencer, who currently writes the Amazing Spider-Man title. Also included were Jonathan Hickman, who’s currently reshaping the X-Men universe. And there’s Al Ewing, who…

The final battle against Thanos’s forces was a massive one. People thought the airport scene in Captain America: Civil War was huge. But that was nothing compared to what Avengers: Endgame had. Thanos had the Black Order, Outriders, and the Chitauri. While the Avengers had their own ranks and the additional Asgardians, Wakandans, and Ravagers. Obviously, the missing Avengers were returned with the Infinity Gauntlet. But there was the matter of their armies. It’s said that Doctor Strange rallied the armies from New Asgard and Wakanda. But how did the Ravagers hear the news? Well, one fan points to Strange’s…

The MCU has seen its share of villains brought to life. Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame finally saw Thanos. In which, the baddie was teased since The Avengers. We also saw the likes of Red Skull, Ultron, Ghost, Ronan the Accuser, Loki, and The Skrulls. Now, we’re headed into new territory. Black Widow will see Taskmaster. Falcon and the Winter Soldier will revisit Baron Zemo. And Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will see the real Mandarin. It’s unknown if he’ll write any more movies, but Christopher Markus discussed which villains he would like to see next…
