Marvel fans will not be happy with this news. According to a new report, Disney and Marvel Studios are not planning to rehire James Gunn to direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but rather sticking to their original decision to fire him after some previous offensive tweets of his surfaced online. The studio released Gunn after Alt-Right Agitators targeted Gunn because of his anti-Trump stance. So, in turn, they dug up some decades old tweets of his where he made some very distasteful jokes about pedophilia and rape. And, although Gunn apologized a few years ago for these and…

Spider-Man: Far From Home is the upcoming sequel to the blockbuster success of the joint Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios venture, Spider-Man: Homecoming. While Marvel and Sony are doing their best to keep most of its details under wraps, some information has leaked, leading to much fan speculation. Now, thanks to a new casting confirmation and a Tom Holland set video post, fan theories are abound as to a new possible villain in the movie. Wait I’m in WHAT?! 🕷 👨🏻 https://t.co/hGJWfqgbWu — Remy Hii (@RemyHii) August 14, 2018 First, it was reported by The Wrap that Crazy, Rich, Asians…

A recent casting call was Marvel fans all up in a frenzy over a certain body part… and when you hear what it is, you won’t be surprised – though the news itself is kind of surprising, and pretty interesting at the same time. It also proves that basically any form of possible news potentially regarding Avengers 4 (or Captain Marvel) is enough to get people going. The Georgia Central Casting Facebook Page posted an open casting call for a body/butt double for a film entitled “Mary Lou”. In it, they describe a very specific type of person they are…

Avengers: Infinity War had a very unexpected ending, seeing many fan favorite characters bite the dust (pun totally intended) after Thanos retrieved the six Infinity Stones and snapped his fingers, wiping out half of all life in the universe. Audiences saw many surprising deaths, like Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, Drax, Black Panther, and more, as well as many surprising survivals, like Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. Many suspected these characters would die, as the actors’ (Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Hemsworth, respectively) contracts are expiring after the still untitled Avengers 4. While we were witness to many deaths…

Before its destruction at the (literal) hands of Hela, Thor’s magical hammer Mjolnir was not only a symbol of strength and godlike power, but also an icon of worthiness. As Odin had deemed, only the worthy shall wield the hammer. This concept was explored during a scene in the second Avengers film, Avengers: Age of Ultron, where each member of the team took turn trying to lift Thor’s hammer. Only one person even got it to budge a bit, and that was Captain America himself, Steve Rogers. Now, thanks to a rather funny Reddit post, we may have a reason one…

After a tumultuous few months of damning accusations and an investigation that eventually cleared him of any wrong doing, Chris Hardwick made his emotional return to AMC’s The Talking Dead, and was brought to tears while thanking his fans and speaking about how the show and everything that comes with it is a vital part of his life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ag7OC4bsFk As transcribed by Variety: “I really just want to take a minute and I want to say that I’m so appreciative to be standing here right now, and I want to thank you, ‘The Walking Dead’ community, for all your support…

It is finally happening. Fox’s shareholders have approved the over 73 billion dollar bid from Disney to buy 21st Century Fox, so, pending some arbitrary paperwork, Marvel Studios (a Disney subsidiary) will be getting the rights back to many of their most iconic characters! This means that many of fans’ favorite characters are coming home, including Marvel’s First Family and an entire subspecies of humanity! Here is a look at who all is coming home for potential appearances in the future of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)! THE X-MEN One of the most obvious gets for Marvel here is the…

The Disney/Fox merger is nearly complete, which means Marvel is getting most of its characters, including the X-Men and all mutants, back under their umbrella. But, many are wondering how exactly are they going to integrate a whole subspecies of humanity in mutants into an already fleshed out universe that is the MCU? Well, a quote from a report this past week detailing the issues behind the scenes of X-Men: Dark Phoenix may just hold the answer. One of the upcoming films in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is The Eternals, a group of accelerated humans created by Celestials…

There is a petition on Change.org for Disney to rehire Director James Gunn, and it has over 300,000 signatures so far. Gunn was fired by Disney after a slew of decade’s old tweets where he made some tasteless jokes were brought back into the spotlight. Gunn had already apologized for these tweets a couple years ago, but the immediate uproar brought on by someone (who I will not name, because I will not help them become famous) who dug them up again prompted Disney to distance themselves from Gunn. Now, fans worldwide, along with many of the Guardians of the…

Marvel Comics is making some major changes to the Spider-Verse, and it involves Spider-Man as well as one of Spidey’s most infamous foes/allies in Venom. One is set to solidify its true origins while the other is about to have a conflict of personalities. We should warn you, however, that this article contains spoilers for Venom #4 and Amazing Spider-Man #2. First off, let’s talk about Venom. Marvel has brought Eddie Brock and the symbiote back together in recent months, and given the character new life (partially due to his cinematic version hitting theaters in just a few months). Now, the…
