Warner Bros. is just a few short days away from adding to the DC Extended Universe with James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, the highly-anticipated sequel/reboot starring DC’s best anti-heroes and villains. With the promotional tour for the film hitting a fever pitch ahead of its debut, Gunn’s first DC outing is already being regarded as one of the DCEU’s most successful projects to date. Even with The Suicide Squad’s early praise, there is still the lingering issue of this new entry being tied back to David Ayer’s work on 2016’s Suicide Squad, which came to prominence in director Zack Snyder’s time with Warner Bros....

After serving as side characters in various MCU projects during the Infinity Saga, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany have returned as Wanda Maximoff and Vision to star in their own series in the form of WandaVision while also kicking off the ambitious Phase 4 slate of the franchise. The show picks up after the events of Avengers: Endgame but fans are surprised to see the power couple in a different (and unusual) set-up....

Do you ever dream of a waste-free holiday season, or a Christmas morning that isn’t knee-deep in crumpled wrapping paper? Well, here’s the solution you’ve been waiting for. Allow me to introduce origami’s lesser-known cousin, furoshiki, which is a traditional Japanese cloth-folding technique that allows you to wrap objects of various shapes and sizes in a single piece of cloth. It might look daunting at first, but if you watch this YouTube tutorial, you’ll quickly see that the folding steps are much simpler than the finished product appears to be....

Wonder Woman 1984 had a successful run on HBO Max, boosting the subscribers of the streaming platform by 4.5 million. While the sequel did lose almost $100 million at the box office, the unprecedented release of the film is still notable in its own right. The Gal Gadot-led sequel had its fair share of delays leading up to its release, which made the wait even more worth it. Given that, fans were initially pleased with the narrative of Wonder Woman 1984, considering that it stayed true to Diana Prince’s Themysciran heritage while also impacting the DCEU in numerous ways....

Hamilton Scotts/Promo image At first glance it is a bit ostentatious, having your Maserati in your living room and a car elevator to get it there, but in some ways it makes sense. Underground parking is expensive to build and inefficient, with about 125 square feet of circulation and ramping for every 200 square feet of parking. With a car elevator there is no extra floor space at all, just the area of the elevator shaft and the extra wall enclosing it....

Forget everything you think you know about rats. These adorable varmints don’t get enough credit, but photographers Jessica Florence and Ellen van Deelen are making up for that with their aww-inspiring photographs of these gentle critters. Whether it’s snuggling up with a teddy bear or crawling into a glove, rodents are ready to cuddle! Neither Florence and van Deelen knew the other was photographing rats — Florence lives in Great Britain and van Deelen is based in the Netherlands — but because the internet is what it is, both of their photographs garnered attention at the same time....

It’s hard to put weather in perspective. One region’s “Snowpocalypse” can be another part of the country’s everyday winter weather. Snowstorms that hit the East Coast are often highly publicized, but some storms in this densely populated region are more memorable than others — case in point: January 2016’s Winter Storm Jonas, pictured here. While making this list, we considered total snowfall and the area the storm covered, as well as other factors, like prolonged low temperatures and the population affected....

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania revealed its opening scene at the Marvel Studios presentation at CCXP 2022.With Black Panther: Wakanda Forever now having closed out Phase 4, fans are turning their attention to Ant-Man 3 and the Avengers 5 set-up it brings. Obviously, that meant the debut trailer for the threequel was among the most anticipated of Marvel Studios’ next batch of releases, and most fans certainly agree it delivered.Not only did fans catch a peak at the darkest entry in the Ant-Man saga yet, but they met Jonathan Majors’ warrior Kang Variant and got a tease of what his plan for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty may entail....

Take just one look at this photo and you might find yourself rubbing your eyes before looking again. The colorless, wraith-like rainbow you’re seeing is not photoshopped; it’s a real phenomenon sometimes called a “ghost rainbow,” “white rainbow,” or “fogbow.” Like with rainbows, fogbows are caused by the refraction of sunlight through water droplets in the air, only with fogbows the droplets are tiny by comparison to raindrops. Droplets in fog are so small (typically smaller than 0....

In an alternate world, Marvel fans are getting ready to experience Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness very soon, as the film was originally set to release in May 2021. However, due to the COVID-19 delays, the film is now a year away as its release is set for March 2022. Marvel fans will see Benedict Cumberbatch return to the role of the Sorcerer Supreme before then when the hero stars alongside Tom Holland in Spider-Man: No Way Home....

Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam is finally coming, and it’s now less than a year away. The film has been the actor’s passion project for a long time, and it’s probably a dream come true for him to finally don that costume. Johnson won’t be alone when his character hits the screen. Alongside him, the Justice Society of America will make its big-screen debut. The members of the team include Aldis Hodge’s Hawkman, Pierce Bronson’s Dr....

Or, how my attempt at reduced-emission travel fell flat on its face. Taking a bus from Toronto to New York City was supposed to be a good idea. The trip would last 10 hours, leaving at night and arriving at 7 a.m. the next morning. The Megabus company boasted comfortable reclining seats, air conditioning, WiFi, and electrical outlets, all of which made it sound like a moving hotel room for the low price of $75 each way....

In April, Deadline released a report that Captain Marvel had finished its run of over $1.1B globally with a production budget of $175M, which resulted in a total profit of $414M for Disney. So, of course, a sequel to the superhero blockbuster was announced with Nia DaCosta set to direct what, in all likelihood, will be a Secret Invasion adaptation co-starring Kamala Khan. However, it’s nice to think back on the original, as Brie Larson and some of the crew have done recently....

Since that film, Ridley has said that a return to her character isn’t out of the question, as she “[wi]ll always be Rey.“Ridley has faced a lot of negativity from Star Wars fans, as has her character Rey....

Have you ever wondered how an octopus manages to choreograph eight arms all moving around at once? As it reaches out to snag a meal, how does it know when it latches on to something tasty? The secret lies in the hundreds of suckers running down each arm — which act sort of like a nose and a tongue — and to the millions of neurons in each arm. Arm Communication KQED Science explains the incredible ability:...

Following Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm, and before Disney+ was even launched, Ewan McGregor’s return as Obi-Wan Kenobi was at the top of Star Wars fans’ wishlist. The time spanning Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope was a gap in the Jedi Master’s story and one that was rich with storytelling possibilities. When Obi-Wan Kenobi was finally confirmed for Disney+, Lucasfilm elevated fan expectations by announcing that Hayden Christensen would be joining the series as well....
