Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe like to think that the actors portraying their favorite characters ARE those characters, committed to only the MCU for all of eternity. We romanticize these parts to an emotional connection level. So, when we hear of an actor leaving a part or taking a role in another film, some fans can become overly excited and agitated. But, I’m here to say to everyone, “Calm down”. Actors have to work, and they enjoy to take on different roles. But, that doesn’t mean that they’re done with your favorite role of theirs. It’s just their job,…

Fans all know that Disney and Marvel Studios are the kings of Easter eggs in their films. There are consistent hints and nods to their other various films, TV shows, and comic books littered throughout the backgrounds of each of their blockbusters. It gives fans extra incentive to rewatch their movies for a visual scavenger hunt. But, sometimes, those Easter eggs could come back to bite them in the rear, if they’re not properly researched. In a recent one from Captain Marvel, one such Easter egg did just that. The photo was posted by Brie Larson to help promote voting…

Everyone is salivating over any information they can get their hands on as it pertains to the still untitled Avengers 4. The finale to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 is probably the most anticipated movie of all time, thanks, in part, to the intense level of secrecy surrounding the Marvel Studios film. However, even with the intense level of secrecy, some minor details have now come out. In a recent Instagram Q&A with Joe Russo, one half of the brothers directing the epic film, revealed while answering fans’ questions during the opening of his new bar, Duello, that the film’s…

While we’ve all been aware of Disney creating their own streaming service akin to Netflix to house their own original creations such as Star Wars and the Marvel, the studio has now officially released its name: Disney+. The name isn’t exactly a surprise, though some thought the service would be called Disney Play, and I mean –  both names have a similar ring to them. With the press release on their site, Disney has also launched the official website, www.DisneyPlus.com. The press release can be found below: The Walt Disney Company’s new direct-to-consumer streaming service will be called Disney+. Disney…

Fans have been downright begging for a trailer to Marvel’s Phase 3 finale to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the still untitled Avengers 4. While some have speculated on a November release (which now seems highly unlikely), based on past trailer releases, the most information we have gotten is from Marvel Studios Head, Kevin Feige, who has stated we should get the trailer by the end of the year. However, during an Instagram Q&A today, Joe Russo, one half of the brotherly directing duo for A4, stated that we may not receive the trailer until 2019. “When can we expect to…

Disney and Marvel Studios has kept as much of the information for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 finale, the still untitled Avengers 4, so tightly guarded, you would think they were hoarding the key to the Holy Grail in the underground vaults of the Vatican. But, for all their well measured security when it comes to their secrets, there’s always a ‘Robert Langdon’ in the group, ready to give out all the spoilers to the MCU’s equivalent to the ‘Da Vinci Code’. In this case, Mark Ruffalo, who portrays Hulk, is Marvel’s intrepid Langdon, spoiling the movie left and…

Fans have been clamoring for decades to get a good superhero movie. For every Batman ‘89 we’d get, we’d get ten Ghost Rider or X3: Last Stand films. But, arguably, no superhero franchise has had a more maligned run at the cinema than the Fantastic Four. In the three films released in theaters, none of them were well received at all. In fact, the 2017 release is considered by many to be one of the worst films ever made, and was rifled with behind the scenes drama. But, while the first film hit theaters in 2005, not everyone is aware…

It seems that every time we turn around, there’s another new fan theory about the upcoming, still untitled, Avengers 4. We’ve covered quite a few of them here, from the mundane and obvious to the completely out of left field and insane. But, recently, we’ve covered a few that put the Quantum Realm into a very important light, especially when it comes to saving those we lost in Infinity War. We learned of a possible Dark World connection as well as the consistent clues of the Realm’s importance. We’ve also covered little spoilers here and there, like certain characters making…

Our country is currently in a state of political turmoil the likes of which we haven’t seen in years, if ever. Not since the Civil War have we been so divided as a people. And, with the midterm elections happening, voter turnout hit record numbers as people used their democratic right to affect change in the United States, regardless of which side of the party lines they resided. Part of what pushed the mass voter presence at the polls this year was the excess of political ads, with 90% of them being negative “attack” ads. But, there was one ad…

Fans have been combing through the decade worth of 20 plus film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for every Easter egg and every thread that leads to some sort of possible connection/plot point for the as yet to be titled Avengers 4. The other place they are looking into is interviews with the stars of the film. While actors like Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo are notorious for their spoilerific answers, there is the occasional slip that is entirely unintentional and, many times, an unbeknownst spoiler until later. Take a moment from the ACE Comic Con from April, where Sebastian…
