Avengers: Endgame was finally released recently and with that came a lot of rave reviews from critics and fans alike. The film does a great service of giving what the audience wanted in terms of which characters to appear in the film. Some you might have missed the first watch and should definitely be seen again. However, there was a definite lack of other notable heroes like Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones that were absent from the epic battle against Thanos and his army. While speaking to the NY Times, writer for Endgame Christopher Markus and Stephen…

So many characters came out in Avengers: Endgame that you might’ve missed a few if you blink. Marvel’s vast collection of memorable and not so memorable characters could give audience members 1-2 generations worth of origin story films if they are so pleased. Although the character count was stacked high in the film, writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely had planned to bring one more in – and it’s pretty wild who it was. While speaking to the NY Times, Markus and McFeely, talked about many topics regarding the film. When asked if anyone was cut from the Avengers: Endgame,…

Doctor Strange said it best, “We’re in the Endgame now.” It has taken 11 years and 22 movies for Marvel Studios to bring the fans what they want, and they have done so in Avengers: Endgame. There were a lot of emotional people who left the theatre by the end of Avengers: Infinity War with the defeat of—spoiler warning—The Avengers when Thanos snapped his fingers. A year has passed since we saw the likes of Iron Man, Captain America, Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Thor and a few of the other survivors since their heartbreaking loss. Now, the audience—including myself—waited with bated…

We’ve all had those night where “one too many” ended in a full blackout. The next day is a sloppy attempt at total recall. “Where did I leave my keys?” “Who drove me home?” “What happened to all my money?” In Nicolas Cage’s case, his question was “Who did I marry?” That’s what happened when the Oscar actor probably asked himself after a night out of taking a little bit too much of the sauce. The 2007 Ghost Rider and 2012 Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance actor has always been known as a wild card in film and in his life…

Marvel latest feature to go cosmic has gotten some news. First up, a new report has caught some exclusive info on The Eternals—a big jump in the Marvel’s intergalactic universe. That Hashtag Show reports that Marvel is looking for an Asian openly gay male lead for the role of James. James is said to be “intellectual, emotional, and has a strong sense of family.” Any male leads in their 20’s that are openly gay/bisexual looking to fit the bill, this is your calling. This is just one of many stories coming out from Marvel looking to really diverse their cast…

When the trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker dropped last week, so many fans lost their minds when it came to this surprise coming out of the Star Wars celebration in Chicago. Many questions were raised in regard to what was shown from the trailer. How much time has gone by since the events of The Last Jedi? How strong has Rey become during that time? Who’s piloting the TIE fighter at the beginning? Is the title in reference to Rey’s heritage or Kylo’s? Is Emperor Palpatine returning? Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, has heard your questions but…

One of the many things that fans of the Fox Studio X-Men franchise worried about—despite the movies being garbage—was the change the characters would face since the Disney/Fox merger occurred. As far as we know, the main X-Men movies are ending with Dark Phoniex and New Mutants. Despite rumors that the latter may never even see the light of day. One portion of the X-Men franchise that the audience members won’t have to worry about changing is Deadpool. The Merc with the Mouth has had a strong fanbase since the Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds led movie came out in…

Captain Marvel has become another win for Marvel Studios, crossing the billion-dollar milestone and becoming the first female superhero movie to do so—sorry, Wonder Woman. Before the movie was released, Marvel took another step further in their effort of bringing new blood into their fold by signing on its first female composer in the form of Pinar Toprak (Krypton). Toprak was dead set on scoring the Brie Larson starring film and spoke this year about the lengths she went to snag the gig: “I made my intentions clear, and when the opportunity to demo came, I wanted to make sure…
