Avengers: Infinity War hit theaters over 6 months ago, and is already on home release, but the wounds created by the ending of that film still run deep amongst fans worldwide. So many of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s best heroes, many of whom no one expected to go, met their end thanks to Thanos’ snap. While Thanos wiped out half of all life in the universe, some people that were not seen in the film did survive. While we were already privy to the fact that fan favorite Darryl, Valkyrie, Aunt May, Shuri, and even Howard the Duck survived the…

With all the current turmoil over whether we’re getting an Avengers 4 trailer this week or not, and the complete lack of marketing and knowledge of what actually happens in the film (which, personally, I think is brilliant, albeit irritating, on Marvel’s part), has many fans scrambling to figure out just what might happen in the still untitled film. Fan theories are running rampant across the internet, with people scouring through 20+ films looking for clues to how the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 will come to an end. One fan in particular found the ravings of a mad man…

Creed II has hit the theaters like a knockout punch, getting critical acclaim for its continuation of the phenomenon that is the Rocky franchise. But now, the man behind the iconic character that started it all and became a champion for the underdog, Sylvester Stallone, is hanging up the gloves for good. View this post on Instagram I am reposting this because there was a technical difficulty. I just want to thank everyone around the whole wide World for taking the Rocky family into their hearts for over 40 years. It’s been my Ultimate privilege to have been…

Warner Bros’ first attempt at a DC Comics connected film universe, akin to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, did not go as well as they had hoped. With Zack Snyder in charge, the films took a grittier, darker, and much more serious tone, try to distance themselves from their Marvel counterparts. However, this technique failed, so WB has taken a few steps back, reworked their plans, and are now moving forward with a lighter and more balanced charisma that will hopefully reinvigorate their movies. The first of these movies, Aquaman, had its premiere, and the critic’s thoughts are finally in. And,…

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have one of the best public friendships in all of Hollywood. They also have one of the best social media “feuds” that has fans rolling on the floor with laughter constantly. One of the greatest things they do for/to each other is promote each other’s projects by “trolling” each other on the internet. While these guys have been taking jabs at one another for the past decade, ever since becoming friends on the set of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, they’ve recently taken some cues from this past midterm elections and made some “attack ads” against one…

The still untitled Avengers 4 will be, by all accounts, the biggest crossover film of all time, eclipsing its predecessor with even more characters like, Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, The Wasp, and more. On top of the several additions to the cast from all across the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’re expecting just about all on the cast of Infinity War to return in some aspect. But, does that mean EVERYONE will return? During an episode of Talking Dead (as relayed by MovieWeb), Ross Marquand, who has taken up the role of Red Skull, was rather coy as to whether he will appear…

With the Disney/Fox merger all but a done deal, many of Fox’s Marvel properties are up in the air, but none moreso that the highly successful R rated films of Deadpool. The Merc with a Mouth’s crude, raunchy and profanity riddled films don’t exactly fall within the wholesome Disney model, regardless of how much fans love it. They’re even trying a PG 13 version of Deadpool 2 this Christmas called, Once Upon a Deadpool. But, along with a slightly tamer version of the character, they also want to avoid as much outside controversy as possible. With that in mind, there’s…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is so much more than just superpowers, explosions, and popcorn movie troupes. It is full of flawed heroes and villains that straddle the lines of morality, complex human emotions, and an intensive retrospective into the human condition. Okay, I may be overselling that just a tad, but you get what I’m saying here. No one in the MCU lives in the “absolute good”. This includes even the most clean cut boy scout of the group, Captain America. Even with his old fashioned ideals and sensibilities, he is a soldier and a man who sometimes makes the…

Sometimes, the universe can lend itself to some pretty eerie and unbelievable “coincidences”. Like, identical pictographs from ancient civilizations that existed a millennia ago, thousands of miles apart, with zero way of knowing the other even existed, much less interacting. But, can that same kind of “coincidence” happen in the modern age of social media? Well, quite possibly, with the current “controversy” surrounding the PG-13 retelling of Deadpool 2, called Once Upon a Deadpool. Over on Twitter, a user by the handle, MVBramley, pointed out that he tweeted out what seemingly is the exact plot if the PG-13 version A…

Bryan Singer’s X-Men film in 2000 is considered by many to be the first real comic book movie to be successful (sorry, Blade), as well as opened the doors for more films, eventually allowing Marvel to create the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the biggest critique from fans would have to be it’s fairly major departure from the comics themselves, in look and story. Now, thanks to a recent interview with Wolverine actor, Hugh Jackman, we may have a reason why. And fans will not be happy about it. While talking with MTV, Jackman let slip that Singer had a strict…
