Fans eagerly awaited to see when and where Monica Rambeau would appear next after seeing her as a child in Captain Marvel. Still, no one expected it would be in WandaVision, played by Teyonah Parris as one of several supporting characters for the show. When it was revealed in set photos that Monica would be working with S.W.O.R.D., it made a bit more sense, but still leaving so many questions. In November, co-executive producer Mary Livanos said that Monica’s appearance in the show is itself a mystery about “…how the heck would she become involved in this odd sitcom that Wanda and Vision find themselves in,” which will unravel over the course of WandaVision....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will serve as the first time that Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Stephen Strange team up together. However, when Wanda transformed into the Scarlet Witch at the end of WandaVision, many speculated that she will be an adversary instead of an ally to Strange in the upcoming MCU sequel. The theories were further amplified when marketing for Multiverse of Madness unveils different pieces of sinister footage of the Avenger....

While right now, all eyes are on the MCU Multiverse, it was not all that long ago that the franchise introduced a brand-new down-to-Earth hero in Shang-Chi. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings came out last fall to rave reviews, with audiences almost instantly falling in love with Simu Liu’s titular hero. The film grossed over $400 million worldwide, welcoming the world into an all-new corner of the Marvel universe....

Nobody ever said that navigating the world of food was easy, but there are a number of puzzles in the land of comestibles that are downright confounding. Whether sharing similar-sounding names, having common sources or being the victims of language run amok, the following 10 pairs of food stand out among the most confusing of the bunch. Macaroon versus macaron Macaroons, macarons. How can two such distant-cousin cookies be just a little “o” apart?...

It’s no secret that a thriving collection of houseplants can do wonders for improving your indoor air quality, but if you’re looking for something a little more outside of the box, a terrarium is the way to go. These glassy mini-gardens have long been fixtures in the home decor world, but in the past few years, their wider popularity has skyrocketed. It’s easy to see why. In addition to their lovely aesthetics, terrariums are inexpensive and simple to assemble....

The influence of Marvel movies has been amplified since the Marvel Cinematic Universe debuted back in 2008. The franchise’s concept of a shared universe leaves fans yearning for the rest of the story, leading the audience to the edge of their seats for what comes next. As a result, the movies have directly impacted pop culture, and one of the main reasons why is the actors and actresses involved. MCU veterans such as Robert Downey Jr....

As Phase 4 of the MCU continues, most of the franchise’s original leading stars are fading into the sunset after carrying Marvel Studios’ stories during the Infinity Saga. However, four of the original six still persisted through to Marvel’s fourth phase thanks to Jeremy Renner in Hawkeye on Disney+, Mark Ruffalo’s upcoming role in She-Hulk, Scarlett Johansson in Black Widow, and Chris Hemsworth in Thor: Love and Thunder. Next in the line-up for this new phase is Love and Thunder, which features Hemsworth in the leading role as Thor for the eighth time since he first debuted as the God of Thunder in 2011’s Thor....

Following solo projects for the God of Thunder and the new kid from Jersey City, Marvel Studios will revisit its angry green legacy with the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. However, while MCU fans are certainly excited about the story and comedy behind this new Disney+ series, one specific aspect has the public worried - its CGI work. Those concerns first arose after the show’s first full trailer debuted last week, providing new footage featuring Tatiana Maslany, Mark Ruffalo, and Tim Roth as She-Hulk’s massive star trio....

Through all of the nastiness of this winter, is there an upside for gardeners? Unfortunately, not really, said Susan Littlefield, horticultural editor at the National Gardening Association in Williston, Vermont. Gardeners will get little help from the bitterly cold temperatures that have gripped much of the nation this winter in the two areas where she said they might expect it the most: a decrease in insect pests and plant diseases....

Meteor showers are just one beautiful consequence of the 100 tons of dust and sand-sized particles that bombard Earth every day. As the debris travels through the atmosphere and vaporizes, it provides us with light phenomena known as shooting stars. If the bits and pieces outlast their fiery journey and hit the Earth’s surface, they are dubbed meteorites. The best way to catch a meteor shower is to use your naked eyes, as a telescope or binoculars will limit the amount of sky you can see....

One of the few constants at Warner Bros. Discovery these days is the ongoing drama of The Flash’s Ezra Miller, whose own long-awaited solo film is set to release on June 23, 2023.Amidst the tumult of Warner Bros. and Discovery’s merger, Miller was involved in a string of arrests and disturbing allegations ranging from assault and burglary to grooming and endangerment. The studio seemed to have stemmed the flow when Ezra Miller finally issued an official statement and apology....

In the premiere episode of Loki fans learned everything about the Time Variance Authority. More than anything it was driven home that TVA is responsible for making sure that the predetermined plans and predictions from the Time-Keepers are held intact. There is another entity in the MCU that has a similar (yet different) role in managing timelines and futures, Doctor Strange. So the question being asked is, does the Sorcerer Supreme, be it Stephen Strange or the Ancient One, know of the existence of the TVA?...

I was hanging out at a Nissan dealership fast charging my 2013 Leaf, and I noticed they were offering as much as $5,500 off a 2018 Nissan Leaf. After tax breaks and such, that puts it at a not dissimilar price to a 2016 Leaf—despite the fact it has something like 40% more range. (And also doesn’t look quite so weird!) I have to say I was tempted. While I’ve proven that it’s possible to take a road trip in an old Leaf, I’ve also shown that it’s a mostly unpleasant experience....

All that fans have seen from Chloé Zhao’s Eternals is some set photos and a lot of leaked merchandise. The first looks at any of the costumes that have either been through heavily stylized promotional artwork or low-quality photos.One more piece of merchandise has shown itself, but this time has been released in a realistic art style and HD. Now that fans have a better look at the costumes and all the details, it really feels like actual footage is necessary to determine the true look of these costumes....

While the MCU’s calendar is slowly becoming clearer for 2022, Marvel Studios is hard at work on what is coming further down the line in the franchise. One of these titles is next year’s Secret Invasion. The Samuel L. Jackson-starring Disney+ series is currently filming, as mysterious plot details on the Skrull-focused story begin to make themselves known. Not much by way of official information on the project has been released, but fans have gotten at least a general idea as to what the streaming series will be about....

The road to meeting Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam has been a long one, with the actor having been cast in the role over a decade ago. Now, after several delays, Black Adam is finally right around the corner from its October release, which will not only bring with it The Rock’s DCEU debut, but also the introduction of an entire roster of Justice Society heroes. Black Adam’s JSA roster will feature a star-studded cast including the likes of Pierce Brosnan, Noah Centineo, Quintessa Swindell, and Aldis Hodge, to tackle the heroic roles of Doctor Fate, Atom-Smasher, Cyclone, and Hawkman, respectively....

It turned out that Black Panther 2 director Ryan Coogler was quite eager to get his hands on a certain member of the highly-antcipated sequel’s supporting cast.Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will bring some new elements into the fold. Most notably, the MCU’s new Black Panther will take center stage, but as with every Marvel Studios project, the heroes need a villain to fight.Enter Namor in Black Panther 2. Reportedly not as much of a villain as he is simply an antagonist, the underwater mutant has beef with the people of Wakanda in the new film....

Dogs frightened of thunderstorms or fireworks will often look to their humans for comfort, jumping in their laps or clinging to their legs trying desperately to find relief. But the experts are divided on whether you should try to comfort them. Some think that reassuring them when they’re scared rewards the fearful behavior. Others think it’s our job as pack leaders to give them the safety they need. How do you decide what to do if your pup suffers from noise anxiety or noise phobia?...

The name Dave Filoni used to not be known so well. Back when the Star Wars prequel films were airing, there was a small show actively at work. Working on course, correcting, and fleshing out all of the areas that the films at the time had not done such a good job with. That show? Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The show, known by many as a kid’s show at the time, introduced so many things to the world that were taken for granted....

The Star Wars train is moving full-steam ahead toward the May 27 Disney+ release of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which will take a break from the interconnected shows that make up the Mandoverse. The last project to take place in the post-Return of the Jedi era was The Book of Boba Fett, which showcased Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen as the bounty hunters Boba Fett and Fennec Shand. The project also featured an appearance from Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin, better known as the Mandalorian, who was introduced in Star Wars’ first Disney+ series of the same name....
