While Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness brought a boatload of cameos from across the MCU landscape, the biggest may have come in the film’s first post-credits scene with Oscar-winner Charlize Theron.The South African star had been rumored to be part of the cast for a few months in the role of Clea, an important part of Doctor Strange’s mythos from the comics before she officially embodied the role in the movie....

After a short break from live-action storytelling, Disney and Lucasfilm will take a blast to the past with the highly-anticipated May release of Obi-Wan Kenobi. This will be Ewan McGregor’s first appearance as the grizzled Jedi since 2005’s Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, with his return bridging the gap between that prequel film and A New Hope.Lucasfilm has utilized Disney+ to incredible results over the last couple of years, with Emmy-winning efforts on The Mandalorian and a widely-watched Star Wars spin-off series in The Book of Boba Fett....

If you’re financing a new computer by selling your old one, how much should you ask for it? This electronics BlueBook will help you decide what your used devices are worth. If you’re thinking about buying a new computer or other electronic device for work, school, or for the kids, one way to take some of the financial sting out of the transaction is to sell your old ones to cover some of the cost....

A host of adaptations have allowed these cunning creatures to thrive, despite the challenges. In the hierarchy of cuteness in which we humans love to arrange things, foxes usually rank pretty high. Their vulpine attributes bring to mind both dogs and cats, which makes them feel familiar to us; toss in those expressive faces, bushy tails and sly goings-on … and their irresistibility is clinched. Now perhaps this is just the musings of a city girl (read: someone whose food is not imperiled by hungry foxes and doesn’t rely on the fur trade), but it’s hard to believe that in some parts of the world, these wonderful creatures have nearly been hunted into extinction....

Birds and hurricanes have always had an annual life-and-death struggle. Survival has never come easy for birds, be they migratory land birds, shorebirds or birds that spend most of their time over open water. But some years are especially treacherous, especially for migratory land birds on their journey from breeding grounds in North America to winter homes in the tropics. In 2017, for example, two of the most powerful storms ever recorded impacted the birds’ eastern flyway, the path that takes them through Florida, and their central flyway through Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas....

Need to know how much daylight is left? Use this handy trick. It’s pretty amazing that we can have a little computer in our pocket that can tell us, you know, basically anything in the world we could ever want to know. (For example, I just asked Google “What is the meaning of life?” and it told me, “The meaning of life is that which we choose to give it.” See?...

I saw this Hank D. and the Bee cartoon this morning, and it got me curious about putting human hair in the garden. I did a little research, and it seems that many gardeners are sold on putting human hair in their gardens. Here’s what I came up with. Keep the snails away. Human hair also repels snails. Sprinkle unwashed hair around your garden. It supposedly keeps rodents away as well....

Fan conversations regarding Krasinski’s potential chances at playing Mr. Fantastic within the MCU have occurred for the last couple of years, especially after Disney acquired the rights to the Fantastic Four. That chatter only increased when news revealed that Krasinski had secretly met with Marvel Studios even though no details from that meeting became public, with fans thrilled at the chance to see that fan-casting come to life. Even amongst a star-studded cast of Illuminati members like Hayley Atwell’s Captain Carter and Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, Krasinski made serious waves in his first run as the leader of the Fantastic Four....

Measuring individual appliance’s energy consumption is one thing. But Sense aims to give you a bigger picture. TreeHugger has long hosted a debate around the correct mix of “smart” and “dumb” solutions to more efficient homes—and usually we end up agreeing that it’s not an either/or proposition. Yes, it makes sense to insulate homes so well that your smart thermostat has very little to do. But it probably also makes sense to use occupancy monitoring to turn your fan off or on to keep things comfortable....

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier premieres on Disney+ tomorrow, and a virtual event was held today to celebrate the upcoming MCU original series. However, the show wasn’t the only project Marvel Studios took the opportunity to promote during the event. Several past and present “duos” of the MCU appeared during the event to congratulate The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s team on the series and promote their own Marvel Disney+ projects....

Right in the heart of Phase 3 from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ABC and Marvel Television brought their third team-up effort to the small screen with the eight-episode Inhumans series. Although both Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter earned plenty of positive response from fans and critics before Inhumans, this series became one of Marvel’s biggest flops and was canceled after only one season. Inhumans had a rough go right from the start, having originally been planned as a Phase 3 movie before their story became a big part of Seasons 2 and 3 in Agents of SHIELD....

Marvel Studios is only a few weeks away from the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which will bring a number of key new heroes and villains into the MCU upon its release. This includes Dominique Thorne in her Marvel debut as Riri Williams, aka Ironheart, making her first appearance before leading the way in her own solo Disney+ show in late 2023.Thorne’s journey into the MCU is a unique one, as she revealed that she didn’t even have to audition for the part of Riri Williams before joining the Marvel Studios family in Black Panther 2....

What makes Moon Knight such an interesting, upcoming project is that it will be Marvel Studios’ first true foray into mental health, where the topic takes center stage. One could argue that Jessica Jones did it first, and even The Falcon and the Winter Soldier touched upon mental health with Bucky—but neither hold a candle to what a character such as Moon Knight entails. With Moon Knight, Marc Spector has Dissociative Identity Disorder....

Following a small tease at what the film had to offer via a Marvel Studios sizzle reel, Eternals recently received its first official trailer and gave a bit more insight into what it will entail. Kit Harington’s character received his first, albeit limited, piece of footage, teasing his upcoming role as Dane Whitman’s Black Knight. An official look at the film’s main villain was also shown off, displaying the viscous, creepy appearance of the Deviant known as Kro....

Through the years, MCU stars have joked about the so-called “Marvel Snipers” during interviews, with them using this as an excuse to preserve the secrets of the project they are working on. Secret Invasion actor Kingsley Ben-Adir even confirmed that Marvel has been “training [him] not to talk” about the project, indicating that the studio is turning it up a notch when it comes to spoilers. However, it seems that one actor doesn’t need this kind of training, and his name is Benedict Cumberbatch....

Looking back on Marvel Studios’ library of Disney+ series, Moon Knight may be the MCU’s boldest story to date. Starring Oscar Isaac as Steven Grant, Marc Spector, and Jake Lockley, Moon Knight explored the reality of someone struggling with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), in addition to having superpowers and dealing with ancient Egyptian deities. Week after week, fans praised Oscar Isaac for his masterful performance of these various personalities and their mental struggles....

Netflix’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery managed to significantly outperform the MCU’s Disney+ releases. After director Rian Johnson took the world by storm with his Agatha Christie-inspired murder-mystery Knives Out in 2019, Netflix was quick to acquire the next two sequels, as it seeks to grow its arsenal of original movies and series.Well, one pandemic later, Johnson is back with Glass Onion, but much to the dismay of many, the deal with Netflix has meant that, unlike the first installment, the theatrical run of the Benoit Blanc mystery was limited to just one week....

Spider-Man has long been famous for his endless crazy and unique Variants, making him more closely associated with the Multiverse than any other hero. That has proven more true than ever in recent years since Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse threw an animated Miles Morales headfirst into heroic action with several of his web-slinging counterparts. The animated blockbuster brought together Miles Morales and Peter Parker’s Spider-Man, as well as Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Ham, and Peni Parker....
