Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe were shocked recently when it was revealed that Armor Wars would no longer be a Disney+ series. Instead, it was being retooled into a movie.With the concept being about Tony Stark’s technology getting into the wrong hands and generally being sought after across the board, it would make sense that Marvel Studios might need a bigger budget to play with. After all, it is called Armor Wars; there’ll likely be plenty of high-tech suits in action....

For many of us, pets aren’t just casual companions. They are cherished members of the family. (Sometimes it even feels like we’re the pets, and our pets are the masters.) So it’s worth asking: Are humans the only animals that keep pets? Or do other animals also keep pets and form deep companionships with other species? The answer might surprise you. Not only do some animals display a great capacity to look after and bond with a member of another species, they also appear to form these bonds for no reason other than companionship....

These days, everyone is slinging a bread recipe. And that should come as no surprise considering how long we’ve been living under the shadow of a pandemic. There are only so many “quarantinis” you can concoct for friends who can’t actually visit you. If you’re going to be stuck at home, why not learn a practical skill that also happens to be delicious? The thing is, bread making can be a daunting proposition, with every step of the process fraught with potential peril....

Following one of the longest development periods in modern movie history, Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam is ready to blast its way onto the big screen in the coming days. The DC Extended Universe’s 11th movie will bring one of the biggest movie stars in the business into the story along with one of the most powerful characters in comic book history. And while the future of the DC Extended Universe is increasingly murky, fans are hopeful that The Rock’s star power and passion for this project will help it shine....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has boasted many monumental films to date, and everyone has a preference for their best film. For Marvel Studios Chief Kevin Feige, the title goes to 2018’s Black Panther, who recalled saying to director Ryan Coogler after viewing the final product, “That’s the best movie we’ve ever made.” The film won three Academy Awards and was a filmmaking milestone in featuring a predominantly Black cast, and it owes its performance to those behind the camera as well....

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe expands with new Phase 4 characters and franchises, the same can be said of the Marvel-based experiences Disney has debuted in the theme parks and aboard Disney Cruise Line. In addition to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and Worlds of Marvel on the Disney Wish, the second-ever Avengers Campus has opened at Disneyland Paris with a new Avengers-themed ride and a surprising Easter egg or two....

While Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have been a lukewarm affair for some, at the very least, audiences were able to have plenty of fun with it. From Sam Raimi’s campiness to the more horror-tinged elements of the adventure and even Scarlet Witch’s brutal rampage throughout the Multiverse, there were plenty of thrills to enjoy. Thankfully for fans, the movie is set to hit Disney+ on June 22, so audiences won’t have to wait very long for a chance to experience it all over again....

The Guardians of the Galaxy has changed and evolved over the years with many characters having come and gone across their eight years in the MCU. Among the losses in the franchise came with the death of Michael Rooker’s Yondu - the Ravager leader who took Peter Quill from Earth and raised him as his own.After sacrificing his life to defeat the Sovereign in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Yondu became a fan-favorite icon as he delivered his famous “I’m Mary Poppins y’all” line in his final moments....

It has indeed become a tangled web with regard to the ongoing conflict between Victor Stone/Cyborg actor Ray Fisher, Warner Bros. and Justice League director Joss Whedon. Fisher has put forth allegations of racism and unfair treatment against the director and a handful of Warner Bros. executives. The actor appeared in the theatrical cut of Justice League and when the famous, alternate Snyder Cut of the film finally released, fans saw how much screen time and priority for Cyborg’s story was cut out of the theatrical version by Whedon and WB....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s interconnectivity is what makes it the most unique franchise in Hollywood history. The ever-expansive saga utilizes far more than just cross-over characters to establish a sense of familiarity in all of its projects. Films like Captain Marvel and Black Widow omit other Avengers from their solo stories, but both close with chords from Alan Silvestri’s recognizable theme for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. As the MCU takes its first crack at a new medium, establishing familiarity is crucial to retaining the franchise’s interconnectivity....

Sustainable living has certainly become a buzz phrase. More and more people are looking at ways to reduce their ecological footprint: driving less, eating less meat, wearing sustainable fashions. As individuals, we are increasingly aware of the impact we have on the planet and our fellow humans. But is greening our own lifestyle enough? By taking the concept of sustainable living beyond the narrow, individualistic approach, we can learn to see our interconnectedness to our environment and its inhabitants....

It’s funny to think that in May, Mark Hamill declared that he’d played Luke Skywalker for the last time, only to make a surprise appearance in the last episode of The Mandalorian to train Grogu. Even before his cameo in the show, Hamill still kept up his involvement with Star Wars, joining debates of whether Luke’s lightsaber could melt through Captain America’s shield and even participating in TheMandalorian Season 1 with a smaller cameo....

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has once again teased the future of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s Namor and his people in the MCU.This isn’t the first time the big boss at Marvel Studios has commented on Tenoch Huerta’s place in the MCU. When asked directly by a fan if the newly introduced character might ever get a solo outing, Feige blankly told them, “we’ll see” after the character made his long-awaited debut in Black Panther 2....

Some audiences may have thought that characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy were obscure, but they haven’t seen anything yet. It was rumored that one of Marvel’s older characters, Man-Thing, would debut in Werewolf by Night.During Marvel Studios’ panel at D23 Expo, the trailer for Werewolf by Night was publically released, confirming the appearance of the Bog Beast of Florida. But, the creature’s appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe could be vital to its other heroes....

Many are likely very familiar with the name Harley Quinn. For most, it’ll likely bring to mind images of Margot Robbie’s excellent portrayal of the character across various live-action DCEU properties. However, there’s another version of the character who deserves some recognition: Kaley Cuoco’s animated version in HBO Max’s Harley Quinn. The show isn’t anything like the standard DC Comics affair. Its adult-oriented format allows the series to go above and beyond what one might normally see many of these characters do—whether that be with violence, raunchiness, or just outrageous antics....

Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is only a couple of weeks from its theatrical debut, getting set to close out the MCU’s Phase 4 with an epic MCU story. This story will bring together a number of key heroes from in and out of Wakanda, particularly a couple of female heroes that will help drive the MCU forward over the coming years.Although the new Black Panther hasn’t been confirmed yet, footage has teased that it will be one of the leading women from Wakanda, most likely princess Shuri....

It’s like a cookie with the filling on the outside. While wandering among the hot tubs and Vita-Mixers at the National Home Show in Toronto, I came upon Philippe Paul and OSBlock, a really interesting structural system invented and manufactured in Quebec. OSBlock up close/ Lloyd Alter/CC BY 2.0Basically, it is a sandwich of two layers of expanded polystyrene foam with a filling of four layers of Oriented Strand board (OSB) 12" high by 8’ long....

Rust, a survival multiplayer game, was released as an early access game on PC in 2013. Since then, it has become a popular game on streaming platforms.Because Rust was limited to a PC audience, fans on other platforms were hopeful that the game would release on consoles. In 2019, Double Eleven, Rust’s developer, announced that the game would come to PS4 and Xbox One in 2020.However, development issues since then have led to a change in plans....

Spider-Man: No Way Home is the last Marvel project of the year and it’s easily one of the biggest in some time. After breaking trailer records and crashing websites during ticket sales, it’s safe to say fans are excited for Tom Holland’s third Spider-Man film, particularly because it will see the return of some well-known faces from the web-slinger’s big-screen history. As has been revealed in trailers, Spider-Man: No Way Home will open the door to the Multiverse, which sees a number of foes from previous Spider-Man films invade the MCU....
