Despite Batgirl being canceled by Warner Bros. Discovery, lead star Leslie Grace is still an advocate of the movie’s scenes being leaked online. In 2022, Batgirl made headlines when Warner Bros. unceremoniously canceled the DC movie, leading to disappointing reactions from fans, the cast, and the crew involved. Still, Grace and Batgirl directors Bilall Fallah and Adil el Arbi expressed their hope of releasing the final cut to fans, similar to how Zack Snyder unveiled his version of Justice League on HBO Max....

The Walt Disney Company has a bright future ahead of it, and the team has seen impressive success over the past couple of years, even having to deal with the effects of a global pandemic. At the head of everything from Disney Studios, Marvel, and Star Wars is company CEO Bob Chapek, although he hasn’t avoided some concerning controversy during his time as the studio’s top executive. Chapek was notably one of the figureheads of a public legal battle with MCU star Scarlett Johansson, who sued Disney for lost revenue after her solo movie Black Widow was forced to release in theaters and on Disney+ at the same time....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness gave fans a look into what would happen in the MCU if the Scarlet Witch went into fully unhinged villain territory. Once her first scene in the movie showed how much the Darkhold had influenced her mind and powers, Wanda Maximoff went on a rampage across Kamar-Taj and the Multiverse itself in order to get her family back. That opening scene with Strange in her apple orchard was what brought her into the movie as the master magician picked her for the upcoming battle over street-level heroes like Hawkeye and Ant-Man....

Weapons that appear on screen must be used. Repeated lines should call back to previously established emotion. Introduced rules are meant to be broken. Like all forms of entertainment, cinema has a multitude of unwritten rules. The MCU has followed these principles in almost every installment, especially the aforementioned. Mjolnir’s unexpected return in Avengers: Endgame proved to showcase Captain America’s worthiness in the climactic battle. “I’m with ya ’til the end of the line” resurrects suppressed memories in Bucky’s memory in Captain America: The Winter Soldier....

For most of the last two years, Justice League star Ray Fisher has continued his tirade against Warner Bros. after revealing the abuse he reportedly endured on the set of Justice League in 2016. First lashing out against replacement director Joss Whedon, he moved his way up the ladder through every executive at the company, calling out the group for malpractice at every turn.Fisher has used some of Warner Bros’ biggest moments in the public eye to slam the studio on social media for what happened to him, from news about The Batman’s theatrical success to Zack Snyder’s Justice League winning the fan-voted “Movies Cheer Moment” at the 2022 Oscars....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will continue to bring new faces into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Following in the footsteps of Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop and Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi is Xochitl Gomez’s America Chavez, a teenager with the unique ability to open star-portal doorways through the alternate dimensions. Gomez’s inclusion in the film as America Chavez has been confirmed since December 2020, and the rookie character has become a prominent player in Multiverse of Madness marketing since....

One of the biggest frenemies in the MCU easily belongs to Captain America and Iron Man. The two, while close friends, always ended up butting heads. Even with everything they had gone through together, there was always something, as Captain America: Civil War showed off splendidly. In the end, though, they always come back together. The fallout of their conflict led to defeat in Avengers: Infinity War, but their reunion led to victory in Avengers: Endgame....

With MCU’s newest Disney+ series Loki approaching its debut, Marvel shows no signs of slowing down when it comes to streaming service storytelling.

The year is somehow approaching September, and the countdown for The Book of Boba Fett is on. Described as a direct follow-up to the events of The Mandalorian Season 2, Boba Fett will see the return of Temuera Morrison as the series’ titular character - this time, in a new role. The once infamous bounty hunter claimed the throne in Jabba’s Palace and, with it, the mantle of crime lord.

Star Wars has always been a family-friendly franchise first and foremost, making it the perfect addition to the Disney brand when it acquired the series. Lightsabers and blasters don’t draw blood, sexual content is non-existent, and explicit language is seldom used across movies and shows.Despite still sticking to the usual TV-14 rating and most of the rules above, Rogue One prequel Andor may be the most mature venture into the galaxy far, far away yet....

There has recently been a bit of a kerfuffle about the rating given to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in foreign countries, as it’s higher than anything else Marvel Studios has released. Some fans have expected this series to be a bit more violent due to the inclusion of John Walker, who was shown fighting in a far more brutal manner compared to how Steve Rogers operated. Nevertheless, the marketing push for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has begun after the recent conclusion of WandaVision....

With all the news surrounding the President-Elect it is easy to lose sight of the environmental follies taking place at the state level, where truly shocking things are happening. Much like Michigan’s ban on bag ban covered in TreeHugger previously, the so-called free market Republican Party is in fact the exact opposite- closing down the free market to protect special interests. Wyoming legislation bans use of wind power The most egregious is in Wyoming, a big coal-mining state that also happens to be rather windy....

Published by The Minimalists in 2016, this book focuses on Five Values that, surprisingly, have nothing to do with material possessions. When I first picked up a copy of “Minimalism: Live a Meaningful Life,” written by Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus of The Minimalists fame, I expected a basic ‘how-to’ guide to minimalism. I thought it would have step-by-step lists for how to get rid of my stuff, quell the urge to shop, and downsize effectively....

The Arrowverse might be ending soon due to The Flash’s final season, but the hopes for another crossover could still happen in other shows.

Regardless of which side of the fence you’re on about genetically engineered food, there are plenty of arguments for the idea of manipulating nature in the name of solving food problems. But what about flowers? Not something that we can eat, or use as feed, but regular flowers grown and cut only to fill vases and occupy the hands of brides walking down the aisle. Decorative flowers are a frivolous crop, yet one that Americans spent $32....
