I’m sure you’re as sick as I am of hearing about the Spider-Man drama. Sounds like Sony is pretty stubborn about their prized property. But, if you look at it through another shade of glass, it may seem that Disney is quite greedy. And if you’re a fan sitting on the sidelines, you’re probably feeling like J. Jonah Jameson – you just want pictures of Spider-Man! Sony says that the door is closed. They also say that Tom Holland’s character will move over to their own cinematic universe of Marvel characters. However, there was a rumor a couple days ago…

Avengers: Endgame was a massive achievement. After stretching twenty-two films, the saga was wrapped up in this finale. And what better way to commemorate the movies that led up to it than to use time-travel to revisit them? After Thanos destroyed the Infinity Stones that were used to wipe out half the universe, the Avengers developed a way to get them back. Over the course of three phases, these Infinity Stones were presented in some way, shape, or form. Therefore, they put their collective brains together to remember where they all were. Bruce Banner and Tony Stark used the Quantum…

With technology on the rise, there are a lot of things that are done in CGI. Some may see that as a downfall. But really, that’s what makes movies look so great nowadays. The latest Avengers adventure in Avengers: Endgame was no different. Rocket Racoon was CGI. Professor Hulk was CGI. Captain Marvel’s hair was CGI. Hell, even Captain America’s cowl was CGI. Of all the things that were CGI in the movie, it’s a surprise to learn that there was one thing that wasn’t. Remember the rat that brought Scott Lang out of the Quantum Realm? The same rat…

The deal over Spider-Man with Sony and Disney has caused quite the headache. Fans have their heads sprung on what’s really going on in that board room.

Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, Thor will be the first of the MCU to achieve a fourth movie in Thor: Love and Thunder. Of course, many of the solo heroes played parts in the Avengers outings, and also poked their heads into other solo films. Tony Stark is dead. However, he may show up one more time in Black Widow’s movie. And Captain America passed his shield onto Falcon. Though, he may check up on Sam and Bucky in their mini-series on Disney Plus. And since Universal technically owns the rights to Hulk, Dr. Banner just has to hang…

Welp, Disney just about had all the rights to the Marvel Universe under one roof. Their cinematic universe is big enough as it is. The final battle against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame proved that and gave Iron Man and others a wonderful send-off. Though, that movie ushered out some heavy hitters to make room for some new ones. And I’m sure you’re as sick as I am about hearing the headache over Spider-Man. But we’ll at least get to see what they’ll do with X-Men, Deadpool, and Fantastic Four here soon. Recently, I wrote a piece on the MCU’s most-important…

Many fans are hating on Sony right now. Some are even threatening to boycott all their movies – at least, their Marvel films. Since they pulled out of their partnership with Disney, it’s easy to see where people are jumping to conclusions. And with all that news clouding their vision, it’s difficult to notice any plans Sony has for their franchise. All MCU fans are concerned with, is if Tom Holland’s character is able to reference Tony Stark or not. That being said, there is other news regarding Sony’s SUMC. It’s no secret that they’re pushing forward with a sequel…

Avengers: Endgame was a swan song for the original team that assembled back in 2012’s first film. Writers, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, along with directors Joe and Anthony Russo did a splendid job sending three out of six of them off. Though two out of those three died, the other didn’t, but was close to it. Steve Rogers lived out the life he wasn’t able to. After he returned the Infinity Stones, he shot on over to Peggy Carter, and danced out the rest of his life with her. Then, after her funeral from Captain America: Civil War, he…
