When the prequel trilogy was released, it provided a backstory for George Lucas’ Star Wars story about Luke Skywalker and his father, Darth Vader. The three films showed how a little boy from Tatooine grew up in the Jedi Order and then eventually turned to the Dark Side to become one of the most iconic villains of all time. However, another character that got just as much exposition from the prequels was Obi-Wan Kenobi....

Thor: Love and Thunder will showcase a romantic comedy adventure set in space, meaning that the expectations for its rating would easily be PG-13. However, when the film’s official trailer arrived, its ending showcased a partially nude Chris Hemsworth after Russell Crowe’s Zeus flicked his fingers to threaten the God of Thunder. The fun didn’t stop there for fans, as an expanded look at Hemsworth’s muscular and topless body was unveiled when Love and Thunder’s IMAX trailer was released to the public....

Fans were rattled recently when some unexpected news hit the web: Netflix was going to be losing its original programming based on some of Marvel’s famous characters, such as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and The Punisher. They would no longer be able to be streamed on the service that they came into this world on; instead, audiences would have to go over to Disney+ to watch any of the series. Netflix’s Defender universe was once its pride and joy, even with some of the critical failures it brought about, such as Iron Fist....

DC fans will surely know the score by this point. After the release of the incredibly divisive Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016, director Zack Snyder immediately set to work on his follow-up: Justice League. Then, a personal tragedy forced Snyder to step away from the movie and Warner Bros. was quick to replace him with Joss Whedon for directorial duties.The end result was the almost-universally derided Justice League theatrical cut, which was widely panned for its story, character choices, and visual effects....

Getting off the beaten path has never been easier, thanks to the creation of several alternative travel booking sites. If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t want to stay in a hotel, enjoys unusual accommodations that offer a great story, or you simply want to be outside, then the following sites could become your go-to resources for future trips....

They definitely aren’t soup kitchens, but they aren’t your average coffee shops either. At pay-what-you-want restaurants, customers from all walks of life can join together to enjoy a good meal, paying as much or as little as they can afford. While the atmosphere and menu offerings may differ from place to place, there are a number of similarities to be found in these types of eateries. For starters, French fries and other fast-food items generally aren’t on the menu....

Once symbols of power and architectural ingenuity, castles today are nothing more than fascinating relics of a bygone time. While the ruins of these stone marvels are wildely familiar, less known are those restored and, in some cases, still inhabited by families. Bouzov Castle in the Czech Republic is a perfect example of a fortress that has managed to survive some 700 years of wars and neglect. Captured here by aerial photographer Zbyšek Podhrázský, the castle was built in the 14th century to monitor an important trade route....

The director of the recent Star Wars series, Andor, on Disney+ spoke about why he chose to avoid talking about Jedi or lightsabers in the show’s first season.One of the more unique aspects of Lucasfilm’s recent project is who and what the story focuses on. There’s the average citizen, such as Cassian Andor, Mon Mothma, the senator, an unethical work camp for prisoners, and more—the point being, this isn’t the average Star Wars tale....

Justice League and its production has been the center of attention for a good while, kicked off by the announcement that director Zack Snyder would get another chance to rework the project. The project will debut on HBO Max as a four-hour-long extravaganza, retooling the theatrical version of the film with new scenes and previously unseen footage. The Snyder Cut will also be R-rated, befitting Snyder’s darker and more brutal filmmaking style that he is known for....

The Marvels, aka Captain Marvel 2, is set to feature the big screen return of Brie Larson’s titular MCU hero, and she will not be alone as a stellar ensemble, led by Samuel L. Jackson, joins the veteran actress. Marketing has yet to begin for the upcoming MCU sequel, but the rumor mill has slowly built anticipation for the movie, mainly due to its potential connection to Avengers: The Kang Dynasty....

After a wildly successful outing in Summer 2020, DC FanDome is officially on its way back with a vengeance in 2021, in more ways than one. With the DC Extended Universe taking most of the spotlight, fans are certainly looking forward to footage and news from more than half a dozen movies coming between now and 2023.

Marvel Studios’ Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con was a rollicking success! Kevin Feige took the stage to clue fans in on the future of the ever-expanding tapestry that is the MCU. Much was revealed including, but not limited to, release dates for projects like Blade and Fantastic Four. Marvel also showed off engaging trailers for upcoming movies and shows. But perhaps the biggest news of all was the declaration that Marvel is releasing not one, but two Avengers films in 2025: Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, both of which will be the grand finale to The Multiverse Saga....

Other than walking, there’s no more Earth-friendly mode of transportation than a bicycle. Bikes have an incredibly low manufacturing footprint compared to a motorized vehicle. They’re cheap to operate, don’t pollute the air, and provide more miles per calorie of energy than any mode of getting around known to humankind. Best of all, a properly maintained bicycle should last for decades. All those factors makes a bike a good candidate for buying used....

Picking the right cooking method and tools for the job can reduce the amount of wasted energy, while saving you money. The modern kitchen has countless options for turning ingredients into dinner, from fancy stovetops (gas, induction, electric, etc.) to microwaves, ovens, rice cookers, toaster ovens, crockpots, and sous vide cookers. Most home cooks have standard go-to methods for cooking certain dishes, but it’s good to take a step back to consider how much energy goes into preparing the food on your table and whether there’s a better, more efficient way of doing it....

Every MCU fan is in some way, shape, or form aware of the Sony situation. Of course, the best part of it all is that fans have gotten to see Peter Parker in the MCU. Without that faithful partnership, there wouldn’t any of the awesome interactions that fans have seen to date, the emotional linchpin of Peter and Tony’s relationship, or those great villains in Vulture and Mysterio. The downside is that Sony is still doing whatever it wants with some of the many characters that exist alongside Spider-Man in the comics....

Letitia Wright spoke on the touching post-credits scene in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever between Shuri and that surprise character at the end of the film.For years, fans expected the sequel to Chadwick Boseman’s hit Marvel Studios film to go the distance in honoring the late actor. The first step to doing so was to avoid recasting his character of T’Challa, which allowed the story to focus on grieving the loss of both the real-life person and his MCU legacy....

The inclusion of Maya Lopez a.k.a Echo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe began as a rumor more than a year ago. It quickly became apparent the deaf superhero, who originated in a 1999 issue of Daredevil, would make her MCU debut in the streaming series Hawkeye. Not only was Echo confirmed to appear in Hawkeye, played by Alaqua Cox, but that she would star in her own series on Disney+. At first, fans only saw Cox in costume from grainy photos from the on-set shooting of the show, but the recent trailer gave fans a much better look at the vigilante....

Since its inception in 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has continually looked forward for ways to expand to the future. During their expansion, Marvel Studios has also become famous for having their plans set years in advance to build anticipation and get the fans hyped for the road ahead. There usually are some changes along the way, and the film slates don’t usually stay exactly as originally planned, but fans always know to expect big things coming down the pipeline from Marvel Studios....

The DCEU has certainly been a mess as of late. After the critical and financial failure of 2017’s Justice League, Warner Brothers decided they needed to do a hard pivot when it came to their plans for their connected universe. While they have had some hits such as Wonder Woman and Shazam, the process has been slow-going. Another hitch came in the form of Zach Snyder’s Justice League. A film that Warner Brothers didn’t want to exist, but thanks to the pandemic Synder and millions of fans across the world got their wishes....

The reunion between Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen’s Darth Vader was one of the most highly anticipated moments this year for Star Wars fans. When they first crossed paths, it didn’t exactly go as many may have expected; Kenobi was crushed and broken. While he didn’t fare well in his first encounter, there are still two more episodes of Obi-Want Kenobi to see the scales get balanced. The newest Lucasfilm Disney+ series has now aired four installments of its six on the streaming service....
