The Marvel team has been hard at work with expanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe for its fourth phase of superhero films and television shows. One of the first upcoming shows, a Disney Plus series titled The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, will help set the standards and expectations for fans as the new phase continues. As it turns out, however, the series will potentially do much more than that. A new set photo might have just revealed a massive secret – one of the locations in the upcoming Disney Plus series might have major connections to the X-Men franchise. When…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has had a broadening effect on the way modern day film goers perceive science fiction and the technology introduced therein. While most of the technologies we get to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are completely undoable (at least by today’s technological limits), there have been some interesting attempts to create technology that could very easily be compared to something Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark would have in an Iron Man movie. For example, one 29 year old engineer named Ben Workman has a variety of computer chip implants which include RFID and NFC chips in…

Marvel and Spider-Man fans had a short period of time when they were in fear that their beloved webslinger would be taken out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The deal between Disney/Marvel and Sony was temporarily broken, and things looked like Sony would be taking Spider-Man and actor Tom Holland for themselves and use him for shooting their own unrelated franchise of Spider-Man movies. But thankfully, after plenty of support from fans, as well as actor Tom Holland himself, Disney/Marvel and Sony were finally able to renegotiate a new deal that made everyone happy. As a result, Spider-Man would retain…

The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its fourth phase is continuing to shape up nicely. One of the most anticipated films announced for the new lineup has been Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which has since been considered Marvel’s first full horror movie. Now Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige is getting a little more specific, revealing that 1980s movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark have been a major influence regarding the style of horror they want the film to represent in Doctor Strange 2. Here’s what Kevin Feige had to say specifically: “I wouldn’t necessarily…

Many comic book fans are anticipating Matt Reeves’ upcoming film The Batman, which is set to introduce yet another live action interpretation of the iconic superhero – this time played by Robert Pattinson – and his supervillain counterparts for the big screen. The Batman movie’s production team has been busy building a variety of sets for the new film at Cardington Sheds in the United Kingdom. As you can see below, one of the sets is a cathedral that’s being planned for use in a funeral scene with an astounding 500 extras. The image illustrates what kind of tone the…

Marvel fans have been excited to see the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe unfold, especially with so many franchise characters getting their very own television shows on Disney’s streaming service Disney Plus. While we still have awhile to wait before the shows hit the service, which will begin with the upcoming series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, we do finally have a new batch of behind the scenes images for the show. The images reveal cast members Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Emily VanCamp and Daniel Brühl, and most notably we get to see actor Anthony Mackie wearing a new…

It seems pretty obvious by now that Todd Phillips’ supervillain origin film Joker has been almost universally well received. The movie broke over $1 billion at the box office, and it was the first R rated film to do so. Clearly, then, everything came together as it was meant to in order for fans and critics to enjoy the film as much as they have. It turns out, however, that there was an alternate ending for Joker that could’ve given us not only a very different film but a very different series entirely going forward. It turns out that filmmaker…

Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe originally started out relatively small, the franchise has since branched out into an enormous amount of different ways, with additional movies, sequels, and television shows all expanding the universe and the super powered characters within. Obviously this has led to plenty of interesting discussions and debates among the fans of the MCU films, many of whom tend to argue about which of Marvel’s characters tends to be the most powerful. Of course, these arguments tend to be very subjective and that’s fair given how there isn’t always a lot of consistency in how powerful a…

One of the most exciting things about Disney acquiring Fox is that Marvel Studios would finally have access to the X-Men film properties that have since been out of reach. This includes one of Fox’s most recently successful franchises based on the X-Men series, which currently includes the films Deadpool and Deadpool 2 starring actor Ryan Reynolds. As such, this means Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige would now be attached as a producer on the upcoming film Deadpool 3. But as it turns out, this means Deadpool producer Emma Watts is no longer working on Deadpool 3. Emma Watts was…

Because the latest Marvel crossover event, Avengers: Endgame, was the conclusive finale to all the films before it – officially considered the Infinity Saga – the movie is full of potentially endless easter eggs and references to past Marvel projects. In fact, it appears that on top of Thor already being able to go back in time and reunite with several characters from his past – his original enemies the Frost Giants were also nearly included in the film. The film’s concept artist, Jerad S. Marantz, has recently been sharing an enormous amount of concept art from Avengers: Endgame on…
