If you are a fan of the horror genre, you most certainly know the name of Stephen King. The world’s most prolific horror author, King has built a universe of tales meant to ensnare the mind and panic the soul. What many people didn’t know, at least the more casual fans, is that this universe is interconnected. Every story exists in one world, one universe. The stories are interwoven, albeit subtly, connecting each character through a dark force. And now, the Hulu series Castle Rock is helping to fill in some of the gaps and show just how it all…

Avengers: Endgame, the highest grossing movie of all time, gave us a fitting end to many of our favorite heroes’ stories. But, it also gave us the beginning of a new journey for many others. While we lost some great ones to sacrifice, others to retirement, some heroes are looking to continue their story and take it to another level. Case in point, Bucky Barnes and Falcon. Barnes, the former Winter Soldier, is looking to right the wrongs of his brainwashed time as an assassin for Hydra. Falcon has a far different adventure ahead with his cohort, as he now…

Fans are having a roller coaster of a time right now as it pertains to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While tons of new and exciting information came out of the D23 Expo, like our first look at the costumes for The Eternals, we are all still reeling from the unexpected split between Disney and Sony over Spider-Man, and the fall out that has come from it. We even heard about what would had been if Spider-Man continued to be a part of the MCU. However, for those scared that the future for Ole Web Head would simply ignore what was…

When Avengers: Endgame hit theaters and shatters box offices numbers to become the highest grossing movie of all time, fans knew to expect some major deaths and/or ‘retirements’ from many of the original members of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, it didn’t exactly go down as anticipated, and fans received a rather emotional blow when Iron Man made his ultimate sacrifice and it was Captain America who got to have a happy ending and long life. These two giant pillars of the MCU will of course be missed, but according to one of the actors in Robert Downey Jr., it…

We live in the Golden Age of Comic Book Movies. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the grandest film franchise in history, including Avengers: Endgame becoming the highest grossing movie of all time. DC had a rocky start, but has righted their ship with films like Aquaman and Shazam!. But, what if someone decided to take another approach? A film that doesn’t exist in a larger connected universe, restricted to the rules set forth by it predecessors. A darker, grittier take on a classic character. One that takes a smaller budget and focuses more on character and emotion rather than flashy…

With the immense impact that the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first three phases made on pop culture, it was hard for many to imagine that the studio could possibly keep the train going without rehashing what has already happened. It would seem that Marvel put all of that to rest when they announced their Phase 4 lineup at SDCC. It’s hard to pick out what moment to be most excited for coming up, whether it’s The Eternals and their cosmic adventures, Dr. Strange taking a trek into madness, or the Disney+ streaming series. But, there is one film that looks to…

There has been a ton of drama surrounding Spider-Man and the Sony/Disney deal. The falling out between the two studios has rocked fans, and divided them on whose to blame. Now, with Spidey out of the MCU, many are heartbroken. The future for Ole Web Head is a bit uncertain in the live action movie world, but not on the small screen, apparently. Looks like Disney has announced a new animated TV series for Spidey. For those confused over how Disney is able to do this, let me explain. While Sony owns the cinematic rights to Spider-Man and his cast…

It is hard to deny the massive impact that superhero movies have made on pop culture today. The Marvel Cinematic Universe alone has earned over $25 Billion just at the box office alone. The fanbase for these movies is immense, to say the least, but it is not without its detractors. There are some people who just don’t like the big production, the CGI, and the ‘rabid fanbase’. It’s a shame, because these films actually have incredible stories with great character development and stunning plots. What’s funny is, many of these ‘detractors’, at least in the celebrity realm, actually star…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been doing its best to open the world up to a more diverse community of superheroes. Whether it’s heroes of color, strong female heroines, or homosexual representation, Marvel is trying to be on the forefront of acceptance and understanding and equality. Now, Marvel Studios Head, Kevin Feige, has confirmed a long standing rumor about the upcoming Phase 4 film, Eternals. One of the main characters will indeed be homosexual. The already heavily diverse cosmic film of fairly unknown comic book characters has the potential to be another massive sleep hit, a la The Guardians of…

While not all the news revolving around the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been great lately, with the Sony/Disney partnership has fallen apart and the MCU is losing Spider-Man, the D23 Expo has given fans quite a bit to be excited about. One of the most obscure, but most fascinating projects coming up in Phase 4 is Eternals. With an all-star cast playing classic Jack Kirby cosmic characters, this film looks to be another unique hit a la Guardians of the Galaxy. Now, thanks to the Expo, we have our first look at the characters in costume, including what role Gemma…
