“Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.” That’s all Thanos wanted, right? Well, after searching 14,000,605 possible outcomes, evidently that’s all Dr. Strange wanted as well. In the recent debate, which was sparked by Martin Scorsese, Benedict Cumberbatch weighed in. As a Marvel player, you would think he would choose the opposing side. He didn’t necessarily agree with Scorsese, Robert DeNiro, Jennifer Aniston, and Francis Ford Coppola. But his comments were close to Scorsese’s about Marvel “invading” cinemas. Cumberbatch was on Jenny McCarthy’s SiriusXM radio show. He was there to promote The Current War. But Marvel movies have oversaturated the…

Marvel Television may be coming to a close. But that doesn’t mean The Defenders are over. Fans have loved the gritty take on these characters from Netflix. It was uncalled for when those shows were decidedly canceled. However, they were. And now, nobody can use them for a couple more years. But since fans loved Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Kingpin, and Punisher so much, ways are sought to bring them into the MCU. And I’m sure those actors will sign another contract in a heartbeat. One of those actors is Jon Bernthal. The Frank Castle actor was at Fandemic Tour Houston…

One of the biggest debates in Hollywood right now is about comments made by seasoned filmmakers. First, Martin Scorsese spoke out against comic book movies, saying that they aren’t “cinema.” He compared them to theme parks. Then he clarified himself at another event. And that time, he called Marvel out by name. Frequent collaborator, and star of Scorsese’s The Irishman, Robert DeNiro agreed with him. Yet, he was even more specific, explaining that the de-aging effects Marvel uses look “cartoony.” Then, if that wasn’t enough, Godfather director, Francis Ford Coppola, said Scorsese was being kind. Coppola’s opinion was that they…

In Avengers: Endgame, Thor finally achieved what he failed to do in Avengers: Infinity War. He went for the head. Yet, before a past version of Thanos came back to haunt them, Odinson was pit into a deep depression. It was later revealed that the Thor from Endgame was deemed “Bro Thor.” Where Chris Hemsworth usually has to maintain a top physique for Thor, he gained some weight for the Bro Thor’s dad-bod. Even though he still wore a fat suit on top of that. Now Marvel Studios has announced another Thor movie. We will likely see Thor return to…

Netflix may have axed their Marvel shows. But their cancellation was not due to low ratings. At least not for Daredevil, Jessica Jones, or Punisher.

And such actors as Vincent D’Onofrio and Tom Hiddleston have shown their support. Also, there’s the rumor that Charlie Cox’s Daredevil and D’Onofrio’s Kingpin may appear in Spider-Man 3. And according to a new report, not only could Daredevil appear in the MCU, but also Jessica Jones.…

But most can agree that Logan was a thing of beauty. Though, Jackman has played other roles. And a handful of those were musical ones.

If you look at the cinematic world of DC and compare it to the movies that were planned, you might think it was in shambles. But if you’ve just set your sights at the theaters and the box office, there would be no foreseeable problem. Since Aquaman, Warner Bros has garnered a steady stream of success. And even though it preceded Justice League, you could rope Wonder Woman in there as well. Their latest hit, Joker, continues to prove well for WB’s DC side of things. However, there’s the matter of the last Suicide Squad film and the Joker movie…

So now, Schwarzenegger, James Cameron, Linda Hamilton, and Edward Furlong have all returned. There’s also the fact this has been given an R-rating, compared to the recent PG-13’s. According to early screenings, the film looked to finally have that redemption.…
