It’s been no secret that X-Men: Dark Phoenix would be the final chapter in the Fox helmed X-Men film franchise. In fact, it is touted as such in the final TV spots for the movie. Ever since the Disney/Fox merger, Marvel Studios has also had zero hesitation in talking about rebooting the franchise to fit their universe, sometime down the line. Part of the wait is to find their place in the already planned out MCU, and the other is to let the memory of these movies fade away so as not to affect how people see their interpretation. So,…

The Fox/X-Men franchise of films has officially come to an end with the release of Dark Phoenix. While this film, and many in the series, were lackluster at best, there is one memory of Marvel’s Merry Mutants that is ingrained in the minds of fans. But, this has nothing to do with the movies, but rather the small screen. The much beloved X-Men: The Animated Series was a huge hit in the 90’s, garnering fans both young and old. But, the series ended kind of unceremoniously with a big cliffhanger in 1997. Now, there may be hope for a return…

It is really hard to deny the incredibly success and major impact that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had on entertainment. Marvel Studios was able to do something that no one else has done, and that is create a long running, connected storyline, that traversed over a decade of filmmaking. The TV side of things, however, hasn’t been as successful. While Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is still going, just about every other show has been canceled. And, most were lackluster, at best, with fans. There is one exception, though, and that’s the Netflix series. Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and even…

The Fox X-Men franchise is coming to a close with its final installment, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, and it’s been an interesting roller coaster ride. The one constant in every fans’ mind is the near perfect performance of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. His casting in the first film seemed to come out of left field, with many fans extremely unhappy. He was too tall, and quite frankly, an unknown commodity in the United States. But, once he hit the screen, it was game over, and every one loved him. Over 17 years, Jackman honed his character perfectly, culminating in his last…

If you are a superhero, you battle evil, in all of its forms. Whether it’s an interdimensional space monster, a world conquering overlord, or an army of villainous creatures, the hero never backs down. But, there are other evils than just the obvious, physical type. And this type of villainy can be far more dangerous and detrimental to society. This terror hides behind the veil of decency and morality. Many times, these evildoers think they’re the hero of the story, so delusional in their cause. But true heroes know what’s right, and stand up to these hidden monsters. Dave Bautista…

Marvel Studios has successfully come to the conclusion of the 22 film, 3 phase, ‘Infinity Saga’, with just the epilogue to go (Spider-Man: Far From Home). Now, it’s time to look to the future with the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4. However, Marvel is keeping all the information on what’s to come close to the chest until they hit Hall H at San Diego Comi-Con. But, we do know of some films to come, like the Black Widow solo film, The Eternals, Shang-Chi, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and sequels to Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Doctor Strange. Now,…

As fans look forward to the continuing adventures of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios are looking to add more diversity to their stories and include all peoples in the realm of superheroes. The moves are already in place, with their first female lead hero (who is also the most powerful hero thus far), an amazing African superhero movie, openly gay characters in films, as well as actively casting minorities of all kinds in their future films. But, could we get the strong female lead of Captain Marvel in a same sex relationship in her upcoming sequel?…

When Chris Evans was first cast as Captain America, everyone thought Marvel had lost their minds. Heck, even Evans was unsure of taking the part! But, Marvel proved that they truly are geniuses, as Evans turned out to be the only person who could play Steve Rogers. Chris has also proven that he is Captain America personified with his continuous activism in real life. And, as we enter Pride Month, he has done it once again. A group of homophobic men in Evans’ hometown of Boston have decided to try and have a “Straight Pride” celebration. Evans proves he’s a…

We are rapidly approaching the final film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3, with Spider-Man: Far From Home being released in less than a month. Tons of new marketing via international trailers have given us even more footage of the movie, wetting our whistles even more. But, leave it to the master spoiler, Tom Holland, to drop some crucial information about the film’s plot. While on the international promotion junket, Tom revealed a little too much as he spoke at a public press interview during the Asian leg of the tour. https://twitter.com/Q82004yousef1/status/1132979173956317185 “Mysterio is my new best friend in…
