Throughout the course of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios has brought to life some of comic book’s most beloved characters. Over the decade plus of films, we’ve seen Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and so many other foundational characters on the silver screen as never before. And, as their universe expanded, so did their library of characters. But, as the MCU enters into its Phase 4, we will soon be inundated with a fresh batch of characters, many of which are relatively new even in the comics. One such possibility is Ironheart, who replaced Tony Stark in the comics.…

Deep Blue Sea is a cult classic shark horror film starring Thomas Jane, LL Cool J, and Samuel L. Jackson. The 1999 film was chocked full of genetically enhanced intelligent sharks, a snarky billionaire, and bloody good fun. Over the years, Warner Brothers toyed with the idea of a sequel, but couldn’t quite figure it out. That is, until 2018, when they released a Straight-to-DVD sequel. Don’t remember it? That’s OK, no one else does, either. But, WB hasn’t given up, as apparently a third film is not only in the works, but in the can and rated! Thanks to…

The COVID-19 pandemic has put the world at a standstill for months now. Even as states start to ease up on quarantine restrictions, the entertainment industry is seemingly months away from getting back to normal. One part of that industry does seem to be thriving, though, and that’s the gaming industry. With people stuck at home, video games are the best escape for millions. And, one of the most anticipated games, especially for Marvel fans, is the Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics Marvel’s Avengers game. Now, some supposed leaks give us a possible clear picture of what to expect in…

Right now, we should all be talking about the start of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4, Black Widow. We should be discussing the plot, the twists, the action, and the secrets. We should be talking about who is under the Taskmaster mask. Unfortunately, COVID-19 threw the whole world into a tizzy with the global pandemic, shutting down most of the entertainment industry, including theaters. So, instead, we have to wait until November to see the film. So, all the rampant speculation continues. And, this latest rumor supposedly tells us who is under the mask. Actor O-T Fagbenie recently posted…

Val Kilmer was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood during the 80’s and 90’s. With acclaimed performances in Top Gun, Willow, the Jim Morrison biopic, The Doors, and his stellar role as Doc Holiday in Tombstone, Kilmer was riding high. Then, he dove into the comic book world by taking over for Michael Keaton as the Caped Crusader in Joel Schumacher’s first Batman film, Batman Forever. However, instead of staying on with the project, Kilmer bolted after the first film, basing his departure on scheduling conflicts (he was shooting The Saint). But, was that the real reason he left?…

Superman is one of the most iconic and most important superheroes of all time. In fact, he is the first true superhero to hit the shelves, and has defined what it means to be a hero for over 80 years. The Big Blue Boy Scout is the epitome of truth and justice and hope. The Last Son of Krypton defends the innocent from villains from Earth and beyond. His popularity led to radio shows, several TV series, and multiple film franchises, both live action and animated. In the late seventies, we believed that a man can fly, when legendary actor,…

Ever since Disney bought out Fox Studios, fans have been begging to see how Marvel Studios would revive the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises from the terrible films they have perviously received. Whether it’s the abysmal retelling of the Phoenix Saga in X-Men: Apocalypse, or the utter disaster that was the 2015 Fantastic Four reboot, these franchises where poorly managed and butchered to an almost unrecognizable level, ignoring most of the source material that made these characters so popular in the first place. However, Fox didn’t drop the ball entirely on all their Marvel characters. In fact, they made up…

Society in 2020 is vastly different, far moreso than ever before. In the midst of this global pandemic, we live almost exclusively online now, with social media becoming the lifeblood of the people. Political correctness is at an all time high, and cancel culture is not only a thing, but something that is making the whole world basically walk on eggshells. Gone are the days of off-the-cuff humor and jokes at the expense of others. People look for inclusion in every form, which is a really great thing, but it does sometimes go too far, and many companies find themselves…

Hulk Hogan. Andre The Giant. Roddy Piper. ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Dave Bautista. John Cena. Some of the biggest names in sports entertainment made the jump from the wrestling ring to the silver screen. And now, there’s one more ‘Man’ to add to that list. WWE Raw Women’s Champion, ‘The Man’ Becky Lynch, is making the jump to not only the small screen, but the big screen, and in a big way – joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Over on Twitter, the official page for the Showtime hit series, Billions, let the world know that ‘The…

During this crazy time we’re living in, many millions of people have been rendered unemployed and desolate thank to the COVID-19 pandemic. So, Fanatics has teamed with several celebrities to create the All In Challenge, where people donate amazing prizes that fans can get raffle tickets to win based on how much they donate. Several of these prizes include getting ‘eaten’ by a dinosaur in the next Jurassic World film, run a lemonade stand with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, and throw out the first pitch at the next World Series. But, the latest prize, donated by Chris Evans, is…
