The DC Extended Universe has hit plenty of bumps over the years, with more seemingly on the way. Announced films have been dropped from their production schedules, multiple directors, writers and actors have come and gone from many projects, and tons of controversy behind the scenes has only been compounded by a lackluster box office performance for most of their already released films. Well, now it looks like they may be losing one more actor in the fallout of Justice League. It seems that Ray Fisher, the young actor who brought Cyborg to life in the much maligned Justice League,…

Tim Miller, director of the first Deadpool film, is starting to work on his latest project, Terminator 6. This film plans to ignore all the other films after T2: Judgement Day and show the ramifications of said film. As shooting kicks off in Madrid, Spain, behind the scenes pics of the returning Linda Hamilton have already surfaced, and now a new pic on Twitter from Bloody Disgusting seemingly confirms that Jude Collie will be a young John Connor. The photo also confirms the involvement of Brett Azar, who played the younger Arnold Scharwzenegger in the lackluster Terminator: Genysis. This lends…

Ant-Man and the Wasp is the next highly anticipated film in the MCU film lineup. The sequel to the film that introduced a pivotal character in Avengers lore, this film sees Hope Van Dyne finally suit up as the second Wasp, a mantle originally worn by her mother (who disappeared into the Quantum Realm). Evangeline Lily stars as yet another strong female character in the MCU and fans are clamoring to see her fleshed out in the film. But will we see her in Avengers 4? Due to an alleged promo art pic that was leaked online recently, her future…

Recently, a piece of alleged promo art (shown below) for Avengers 4 was leaked online, supposedly showing what our surviving heroes will look like in the war against Thanos. At the very forefront of the picture is Steve Rogers, and he is sporting a brand new (or possibly more accurately old) look. It looks like the final film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 will see Rogers don the mantle of Captain America once again. At the conclusion of Captain America: Civil War, we saw Steve Rogers dropped the shield that Tony Stark proclaimed he no longer deserved, effectively…

The events at the end of Avengers: Infinity War are still having a profound and lasting effect on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the fans who poured into the theaters nearly a month ago. With the power of a completed Infinity Gauntlet and the snap of his fingers, Thanos effectively wiped out half of the entire universe, including several of our beloved heroes, including Spider-Man, Black Panther, Groot, and Doctor Strange. But what if the last one, Doctor Strange, isn’t dead after all? A new theory posed on Reddit by user pdgenoa has some people taking another look at the…

Ever since the inception of the DCEU, there has been a long standing debate between fans over which Cinematic Universe is better: The Marvel Cinematic Universe or the DC Extended Universe. Now, to be perfectly honest, I do not think there is any real debate here at all. Whilst not every film in the MCU has been a huge critical success, the consistent positive reviews and blockbuster success absolutely dwarfs the DCEU and its less than stellar success rate. As a fan of both comic book universes, (and particularly a Superman geek), I want to see BOTH sets of films…

Diversity has been a pressing issue throughout Hollywood for ages, but no time more so than the present. Whilst Marvel Studios has started to step up with film like Black Panther and LGBT characters like Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok, not to mention casting traditionally Caucasian characters from the comics as African American, but one place that they haven’t yet help to promote is people with disabilities. However, they actually had an opportunity to do so, and just missed the boat – and it involves Hawkeye. Hawkeye is a character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe who hasn’t quite lived up to…

Captain Marvel is probably Marvel’s most anticipated film after the events of Avengers: Infinity War and that particular end credits scene. So, people are clamoring for any information for the set of the film. And, as the film moves production to New Orleans and some casting info has popped up, a new rumor has gained some legs. That’s right, the latest rumor is for Marvel character, Monica Rambeau, might be showing up in the film! For those of you unfamiliar with the character, Monica Rambeau debuted all the way back in 1982 and was the Avengers first African American heroine…

The comic book world is one of fantasy and other worldly abilities. Physics and practicality do not apply on the pages of your favorite comic, even when it comes to a character’s outfit. Many times, they seem to pick fashion over function, and even sometimes blur the lines of decency and common sense. Problem is, physics and practicality do exist in the real world, as well as the cinematic one. The outfits of your favorite heroes and villains don’t always translate well in the MCU. While characters like Captain America have a very similar outfit to the comic material, others…

Since Iron Man (Tony Stark) first appeared in the pages of Marvel Comics in 1963, it has been common knowledge that he was the son of Industrialist Howard Stark. However, a few years ago, the truth came out that he was actually adopted. Tony finally met his real mother, rock star turned S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Amanda Armstrong, before falling into a coma during the second Civil War storyline. Armstrong used her rock star global touring schedule as a perfect cover for her secret agent duties. The person that had not been revealed, however, was Tony’s father. All he had been told…
