To date, Thor: Love and Thunder holds the record for the shortest promotional window in MCU history. But now, Marvel Studios is about to put the hammer down. Set to release in theaters on July 8, Thor 4 will be the first audiences have seen of the God of Thunder since the events of Avengers: Endgame; and from what was shown in the film’s first trailer, his soul-searching story is filled with faces both old and new to the MCU....

I first read about this method of pan frying chicken breasts on The Kitchn a few months ago, and I’ve used it many times since. They titled it How to Cook Moist & Tender Chicken Breasts Every Time, and they weren’t exaggerating. Chicken breasts, particularly boneless, skinless breasts, are the healthiest cut of chicken, but they can also be dry and flavorless. With this incredibly easy method, I can cook up moist, flavorful breasts using just a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper....

Spider-Man: No Way Home is widely considered to be one of the best projects that Marvel Studios has put out in Phase 4. Not only was it well crafted, but it included a team-up between Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, Tobey Maguire as they took on an almost fully formed Sinister Six. Even better is how its ending pulled no punches.Not only did Aunt May end up biting the dust thanks to Norman Osborn, but Peter Parker himself had to make the ultimate sacrifice....

Hasbro’s six-inch-scale Star Wars line, The Black Series, continues to be ever-popular with fans and die-hard collectors alike. The line is on its ninth year of production and shows no signs of slowing down, especially with the myriad of upcoming live-action and animated Star Wars content coming this way to base figures upon. It’s actually been a good while since Hasbro has shown off a full wave of Black Series figures with the previous mainline wave being unveiled back in October 2021....

Out ahead of The Mandalorian Season 3 premiere, Jon Favreau has commented on the possibility of The Mandalorian movie.Talk of The Mandalorian’s big-screen potential first arose in December 2020 when Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy teased a MandoVerse “climatic story event” that will “culminate” The Mandalorian and its spin-offs. Now, just weeks away from the Star Wars series’ return to Disney+, creator and producer Jon Favreau has addressed Mando and Grogu’s cinematic prospects....

Marvel Studios is still riding off the highs of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which became the sixth highest grossing movie in history and changed the game for the superhero genre. Now, even with Doctor Strange 2 looming over the horizon for the MCU, Marvel fans have their attention on July’s Thor: Love and Thunder, whose promotional tour just showed its first signs of life. Chris Hemsworth’s fourth solo movie just delivered its first trailer, and even though it broke the record for shortest promotional tour in MCU history, the footage made its mark on fans quickly....

Container gardening is, in many ways, one of the easiest ways to grow flowers and edibles in your garden. You can take advantage of sunny areas, and it doesn’t matter how awful (or nonexistent) your garden soil is, because you can fill your containers with perfect, fluffy soil. But watering can be a challenge, especially during hot, dry weather. Here are a few tips for keeping your container gardens happy....

Black stars may be the most influential celestial bodies in the universe that no one knows for sure ever existed. In fact, they may be the elder stars of the cosmos, twinkling long before stars — at least as we know them now — showed up. So why is there no evidence of them today? They may have literally faded to black. As in, black hole. At least that’s the theory posited by University of Michigan physicist Katherine Freese in a recent interview with Astronomy....

The MCU is still going strong with years of content planned, and one Marvel Studios executive indicated that there aren’t signs of Marvel ending its story anytime soon.The Marvel Cinematic Universe remains arguably the most popular movie franchise in the business, something that remains the case despite it being more than 14 years after Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man first blasted into theaters. The MCU’s Phase 4 shattered records, with the biggest new round of Marvel content in history, totaling a combined 16 projects....

The cormorant stood on a rock in the river, its back turned away from me. I was watching from the shore near the library in Camden, Maine, as the sun beat down on us both. I felt the warm rays heat up my skin and knew that I should have put on a good dose of sunblock. But while I was looking for shade, the bird was embracing the sun. It spread its wings out to its sides, stretched them out until the feathers splayed apart like thick black fingers, and stood there basking in the sunlight....

Usually, at this time of year, the design world is hanging out in New York City for Design Week and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair. I used to go every year and cover it, and would always admire the big booth in the center showing the winners in the Wilsonart Student Design Challenge: I may have admired the student work, but I never wrote about it; at the time I wasn’t convinced that laminate was exactly TreeHugger correct, and would tend to promote designs made with natural woods instead....

Here are 10 items in your kitchen that are easy to recycle. Many of them can be recycled as close as the curb....

Ditch the resource-hogging foods for these delicious switches that leave a lighter footstep. Imagine how simple it must have been back in the days when everyone basically just ate the food grown within a reasonable distance from where they lived. Of course this is likely a thought to induce horror in the mind of the modern foodie, but the idea of not being faced with so many choices seems liberating. Navigating the food system in terms of best nutritional choices is tough enough, but when we toss in making choices about the health of the planet as well it can seem like an even crazier juggling act....

After months of rumors and hype for the return of past Spider-Men in the MCU, audiences finally saw hope become reality in Spider-Man: No Way Home. And while all three of cinema’s live-action web-slingers sharing the screen was enough to blow fans away, both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s reprisals more than exceeded fan expectations. With the exception of Spider-Man 3, Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man run has long been lauded by fans; however, that wasn’t the case with Andrew Garfield’s, whose franchise came to a sudden close following The Amazing Spider-Man 2....

At the Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania press conference, Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige pulled back the curtain on Ant-Man 3’s Quantum Ream. Just like Kang the Conqueror, Marvel audiences have only seen glimpses of the mysterious Quantum Realm.But on February 17, that’s all about to change when this strange and often confusing realm takes center stage as the threequel’s primary environment.While fans don’t yet know all that the Quantum Realm holds or how it will continue to impact the MCU, Kevin Feige provided fans with a subatomic primer ahead of Ant-Man 3’s debut....

A new DC Comics one-shot canonized Michaell Keaton’s Batman and Christopher Reeve’s Superman into one universe. Long before the likes of Marvel Studios decided to dip their toes into Multiversal storytelling, DC Comics was the king of the narrative Multiverse, telling epics like Crisis on Infinite Earths within its comics pages.However, this has yet to really crossover into DC’s big-screen ventures. The DCU is about to utilize the narrative device in the upcoming film The Flash, with multiple versions of Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen, as well as Michael Keaton’s Batman/Bruce Wayne from Batman (1989)....
