As it turns out, the Russo Brothers’ biggest mentor, Steven Soderbergh, hasn’t seen any of their Marvel movies. For years, it has been mentioned how much the Avengers: Endgame directors look up to Soderbergh (the director of films like Oceans Eleven, Contagion, and Magic Mike). He took the pair under his wing early in their career, helping the duo by telling them “indie filmmaking is in TV” these days - something that the Russos know all too well after getting their start on series like Community....

When I first read an article on NPR about Oregon’s refillable beer bottle system, where heavy bottles can be washed and reused by any brewery without being recycled, I thought I’d write about containers that used to commonly be refilled but no longer are. I started thinking about containers like milk bottles that the milkman would pick up when he dropped off your milk or Charles Chips tins that could be taken to the deli and refilled with potato chips....

In the pantheon of Marvel villains to appear on screen, Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock has long been among the best due to his role in 2004’s Spider-Man 2. Seventeen years later, the ambitious, multi-limbed scientist was the first of Sony’s former Spidey villains to appear on the big screen in Spider-Man: No Way Home; but this time, Molina’s Ock wasn’t just redeemed but cured. While No Way Home succeeded in bringing all three Spider-Man franchises together, as well as providing some closure, fans are already asking for more....

Marvel Studios has an ever-growing slate of projects in development, one which has grown more expansive than ever lately with the addition of its Disney+ series. Various production companies report new films and series every month. Despite this, the studio only makes official MCU announcements a few times a year at events such as San Diego Comic-Con, the D23 Expo, and Disney+ Day. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, massive in-person events such as Comic-Con and D23 have been put on the back burner in recent years....

Throughout its Disney+ run, Ms. Marvel chronicled the heroic origin story of Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan, leading to fateful encounters in Pakistan, the discovery of her family’s ClanDestine-related past, and a clash against the Department of Damage Control.

Disney’s Strange World received the worst Audience Score in Disney animation history. The Dom Hall and Qui Nguyen-directed epic marks the 61st animated film from the animated movie giant, following the Clades family as they explore the mysterious planet, Avalonia. The film has been a source of controversy in its lead-up to release, as a number of countries banned the film for its on-screen LGBTQIA+ representation.

A key line spoken by Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame might’ve paved the path to Kang’s eventual arrival in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.One of Avengers: Endgame‘s most crucial plot elements was its “time heist.” Dreamt up by Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and perfected by Tony Stark, the plan was to use the Quantum Realm as a conduit for time travel in order to collect the Infinity Stones from past adventures....

This kind of shipping container housing makes sense. When I was back in architecture school playing with shipping containers, it never occurred to me to treat them as empty boxes. Shipping containers were designed to move, and to be full of stuff besides air. Also, the interior dimensions were designed for freight, not people, and were too narrow. So all the designs I worked on had walls that folded down and out and basically, looked almost pretty much like what Konbuild is doing in China right now....

When it comes to Marvel Studios’ Phase 4 connectivity, Wong is the MVP.

This new venture opens the door for countless versions of beloved MCU characters to make their way into the encompassing narrative, though they sometimes come with some noticeable differences and inconsistencies. That inconsistency was first seen in the last Spider-Man movie, which featured three versions of the web-slinger played by different actors (Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire)....

Only a few weeks remain until the MCU returns for a strong five months of content, although there is plenty of work still to be done on Phase 4’s 2022 entries as well.

Not only will this show feature the return of the iconic Captain Marvel duo of Samuel....

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe enters a brand-new chapter, the superhero franchise is pushing for more representation in Phase 4. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings introduced a stacked Asian cast, while Eternals delivered powerful performances from its diverse group of heroes. On top of racial equality, the MCU is also leaning toward LGBTQIA+ representation. Eternals pushed the diverse group to the forefront by showcasing Phastos’ love for his husband Ben through an on-screen kiss, marking the first time for a Marvel movie....

According to the newly released script for Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the movie could have had a hilarious f-bomb.Generally speaking, most of Marvel Studios’ affairs are kid-friendly. Even its adult-focused content stays away from the more hardcore elements.This also includes colorful language. While Avengers: Age of Ultron may have utilized “shit,” something sharper such as “fck” has never made it into the MCU.However, looking at the script for the most recent Marvel Studios adventure, the superhero universe almost got its hilarious first f-bomb....
