The Infinity Saga Box Set has been released. The special edition collection of MCU’s twenty-three films was exclusively sold at Best Buy. And now it’s sold out. That’s unfortunate for those who weren’t fast enough. But it was pretty expensive anyway. But why purchase the box set if you can stream most of the movies between Netflix and Disney Plus? Because there is an extra disc of special features. Disney Plus offers its own extras for these films. But the box set has an extensive list of deleted and alternate scenes that we already reported. Reddit user, TMOTS2099 posted to…

Production for the Marvel shows on Disney has already begun. But beyond Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki, Hawkeye, and What If, three more shows have been announced. Those will be Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk. Believe it or not, Marvel Studios have already started making plans for those as well. Showrunners have been announced. They’re even going through the casting process. Kevin Feige has stated that characters that are introduced in these shows will crossover into the movies. Those that were introduced in Marvel Television’s shows weren’t able to make that jump. However, there are rumors that…

Hulk has probably the most live-action iterations over any other Marvel character. The number of actors who played with him competes with those that played Batman or Joker. And with a menu of iterations to select from, they’re going to appeal to different people. The first live-action Hulk was shared by two people. Although, the character is shared by two people to begin with. Bill Bixby played David Banner (the studio didn’t like the name Bruce at the time). And Lou Ferrigno played the Hulk. Ferrigno is still around to see what his character has become in live-action. At a…

Captain Marvel has proved yet another successful hit for the MCU. Along with the other two installments from 2019, it has earned at least a billion dollars. Negative folks have hated on the character and Brie Larson’s portrayal. But that didn’t thwart the success of the movie. Disney has even pushed for Larson’s Oscar nomination for Avengers: Endgame. MCU tends to introduce their characters in other movies before releasing their solo feature. Such as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War. But her 2019 movie was Carol Danvers’ first appearance. Though, there was that post-credit scene from Infinity War that teased…

However critics felt about them, the X-Men movies were a steady franchise. There seemed to be a movie about mutants at least every couple of years since the first X-Men movie in 2000. And where the quality began to falter, there came Deadpool. The Merc with a mouth was a saving grace. However, Disney bought the company that owned those mutants. It was great that Marvel Studios now has all their characters under one roof. And where the X-Men movies needed a facelift, the Disney acquisition put the perfect Deadpool movies in question. We’ve heard promises that Disney will produce…

Thor: Ragnarok was very light-hearted compared to his first two installments. However, not only did Chris Hemsworth’s character go through some changes, but so did Asgard. Their story through Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame was quite an arc. Sure, Thor got a new weapon, changed his hair and his physique. But Asgard went through several rulers. And it changed locations a few times. As far as its original ruler, Odin went through some changes as well. But not very many people saw these changes. Deleted scenes showed what happened to Thor’s father after Loki replaced him. Then, his…

Fans will have to wait until next year for the original Marvel shows on Disney Plus. Falcon and the Winter Soldier will premiere in the Fall of 2020. 2021 will have four more shows. The most interesting of those four seem to be WandaVision. Part of the show is said to play out like a 50s sitcom. And those sitcom scenes will be filmed in front of a live studio audience. Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) will head a nuclear family. Therefore, to be a nuclear family, they need to have kids. It is said that their…

Netflix has been known for taking dead projects and breathing life into them. After being in development for many years, Gerard Way’s Umbrella Academy was handed to the streaming service. And now, the big red N is doing the same for Neil Gaiman’s Sandman. So it’s no wonder why Paramount would have faith in Netflix. The production company has lost money on the recent Terminator: Dark Fate, despite fairly good reviews. They have been working on long-term Eddie Murphy sequels, Beverly Hills Cop 4 and Coming to America 2. But now, they have sold the former to Netflix. Deadline reports…

There were worries about the recent Joker movie directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Pheonix. But the box office has deemed it a success. The film broke records. It became the highest-grossing October release, beating out Venom. Then it was the highest-grossing R rated film, beating out Deadpool. And then it became the most profitable comic book film, surprising those who thought it would be Avengers: Endgame. Where he was against them before, Phoenix stated he was open to doing a sequel. He didn’t sign on to Doctor Strange because of the obligations a Marvel star would have. But…
