You would be hard pressed to find a more seminal moment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe than Captain America: Civil War. This movie pitted hero against hero, friend against friend, and tore such a rift in the Avengers that it led to the darkest time in the world, and ultimately an even bigger reunion moment in Avengers: Endgame. Two of the MCU’s biggest heroes, Captain America and Iron Man, butted heads that led to the epic airport battle and more. But, it almost didn’t happen. We almost had Cap against someone else, and it was all based on contract negotiations.…

The last 18 months have been like a wet dream for nerds worldwide.

Disney introduced their own streaming service in Disney Plus, and gave us The Mandalorin and plenty of upcoming series. Star Wars came out with the final story in the Skywalker saga. But, one of the biggest moments in Nerdom…

Comic book fans have always fantasized about becoming the heroes they’ve read about for decades. Then, with the influx of comic book movies taking over Hollywood, and the rapid progression of the cosplay community, more and more fans have the ability to become their heroes. And, while the fantasy of having their powers and abilities may never come to fruition, building their costumes as accurately as possible gives the wearer a wonderful and amazing feeling.

Marvel Studios is set to bring a ton of fan favorite characters to life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the new media outlet of the Disney+ Streaming Service. Arguably, the most anticipated character coming to the screen has got to be Moon Knight. The avatar for an Egyptian Moon God with multiple personality issues, Moon Knight is a bit of Marvel’s answer to Batman, but with more aggression and mental instability. The character has long since had a bit of a cult following amongst fans and has been at the top of everyone’s live action wish list. At one…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a phenom in the world of filmmaking. Doing something that had never even been attempted before, Marvel was able to create an interwoven overarching storyline throughout 23 films over a decade. And, as the story progressed and headed to it’s ultimate climax, the stories became darker and as foreboding as the impending doom of the ‘big bad’ that all of our heroes had to face. The studio introduces us to a slew of characters that have become emboldened in cinema as icons. Every fan has their favorite, or favorites, and we all constantly debate…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an incredible and unique experience in cinema. Never has there been such a connected set of individual films with an overarching storyline in Hollywood history.

And, one of the most anticipated shows coming is WandaVision, a series that will explore the interesting romantic dynamic of Scarlett Witch and the android Vision. With…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is entering its Phase 4 after over a decade of storytelling with the Infinity Saga. Looking to evolve and grow, the MCU will be mixing feature films with Disney+ miniseries that all connect for another grand story. We know that both the Loki and WandaVision streaming series will correlate with the highly anticipated Dr. Strange Into the Multiverse of Madness, Marvel’s first horror film. And, while nothing has been said yet, we’re sure The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will also have strong ties to the greater MCU. And now, as it films its episodes, we…

It is now official: Birds of Prey is the next R Rated DC film. The next Harley Quinn film, led by Margot Robbie, got its MPAA rating due to ‘strong violence and language throughout, and some sexual and drug material’. After seeing the trailers and clips, this isn’t exactly a shock. But, there was always the possibility of WB getting scared of the rating and toning it down. However, with the massive success of The Joker, it seems that WB is more willing to let their DC films off the reigns. Margot Robbie apparently pushed for this rating from day…

Avengers: Endgame, the highest grossing movie of all time, is still making headlines, eight months after its release. Between the home release and the Disney+ streaming service, more and more news and insight on the film is pouring onto the internet. With that, many of the people who worked behind the scenes finally are able to come forward and talk about their experience working on the movie as well as some insider info on what almost made the final cut.

2020 is upon us, people. Two full decades are now down in the 21st Century, and the future is now.
