Spider-Man: No Way Home featured many notable returns, and one of them is Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man. Garfield made his Marvel debut as the web-slinger in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man and reprised the role in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. However, his superhero stint was cut short after the sequel, with Sony choosing not to push through with The Amazing Spider-Man 3. Despite that, Garfield’s return in No Way Home fueled a renewed interest in a potential third movie....

The one X-Men character that fans anticipate the most is Wolverine, previously played by Hugh Jackman (who finally seems to be done with the role). It’s only a matter of time when Marvel Studios has to recast Logan. Kevin Feige currently doesn’t seem to have anyone in mind for the role, but longtime MCU director Joe Russo has some advice on how to reintroduce Weapon X to audiences. RUSSO SAYS DON’T RUSH IT Speaking on The Lights Camera Barstool podcast (via The Playlist), Joe Russo spoke about his love of Wolverine and how he “has always been such a special character for (him)” ever since reading his debut issue in Hulk #181....

One of the biggest stars from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever teased how T’Challa’s son will grow into a bigger role in the MCU’s future.Black Panther 2 ended on quite an emotional note with its only post-credits sequence as it introduced Toussaint, Nakia and T’Challa’s son, to Shuri after her transformation into the Black Panther. The real kicker came when he revealed that his Wakandan name was actually T’Challa as well, continuing the late Chadwick Boseman’s legacy while also adding something new to the MCU narrative....

Marvel Studios is currently reaping the rewards of a successful start to its new venture of Disney+ storytelling. Hype is building by the day as WandaVision draws closer to its season finale, and after a March 12 behind-the-scenes intermission with Assembled on Disney+, the story will pick back up with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. This show will be set in a post-Avengers: Endgame world recovering from The Blip as Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes do their best to continue the Captain America legacy....

On a scenic basalt rock headland that juts almost a mile into the Pacific Ocean stands a beautiful white lighthouse. At 93 feet tall, the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, located in Newport, Oregon, is the state’s tallest lighthouse. It’s been guiding ships for 145 years. First lit on Aug. 20, 1873, the lighthouse has gained quite the storied history. And that includes two ghost stories. One tale tells of a construction worker helping to build the tower who fell to his death....

Remember party mix? That random assortment of corn/wheat/rice cereal, nuts, pretzels, Worcestershire sauce, butter and seasoned salt? Perhaps you know it by its more common branded name, Chex Mix, based on the cereal brand that actually “invented” it. Whatever you call it, the crunchy, salty mix knows no boundaries or state lines. I was first introduced to it by friends from Iowa, which made me think it was a wholesome snack from the heartland of America’s Midwest....

The “Recast T’Challa” movement to replace the late Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther has emerged again after the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.Rewind to August 2020, amid the existing struggles of the pandemic, Marvel Studios was placed in its toughest position yet following the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman. This left fans divided between recasting the actor, replacing T’Challa in the mantle, or ending the Wakandan franchise altogether.Obviously, Marvel Studios opted to continue the Black Panther franchise without Boseman, with Wakanda Forever now serving as a tribute to the actor’s legacy....

Sony Pictures recently went through a rough patch with the upcoming releases for a couple of Spider-Man spin-offs being delayed, meaning the franchise won’t come back to the big screen until 2023. Following Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter in October 2023, Dakota Web will bring an even lesser-known character to the big screen with Madame Web in early 2024.Even with nearly a year and a half until Madame Web hits theaters, Sony is hard at work filming the movie with top-tier talents like Sydney Sweeney, Adam Scott, and Celeste O’Connor in tow....

We blame ourselves for not recycling more plastics, and yet our efforts are like “hammering a nail to halt a falling skyscraper.” It’s time we got to the root of the problem. “People need to get better at recycling” is a comment I often hear as soon as the topic of plastic waste comes up. It’s a misleading assumption, however, to think that tossing more items in the recycling bin and fewer in the trash can make that much of a difference in dealing with the catastrophic level of plastic contamination that our planet currently faces....

The DC Extended Universe is inching closer to its return with only a few days remaining until Wonder Woman 1984 debuts in theaters and exclusively streaming on HBO Max. While this canon DCEU sequel closes out a 2020 that has seen no new major superhero releases since February’s Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, 2021 will bring the highly anticipated release of Zack Snyder’s Director’s Cut of Justice League in March. Although Zack Snyder has been consistent about giving looks behind the scenes into his process of making the movie and teasing how the plot will be different from the original movie, only two (similarly cut) trailers have released thus far....

Some people are just impossible to buy for. There’s nothing you can get for them that they don’t likely already have. But instead of giving up and crossing them off your list, just get a little extra creative. Here are some ideas for the people who want for nothing and seem to already have everything. Lessons — Sure, they have every cool gadget, but do they know how to do everything?...

Why you should give up the rake and learn to love your leaf litter. Somewhere along the way, much of the rough and tumble beauty of the American landscape turned into cookie-cutter manicured lawns. It’s like home ownership now comes with explicit directions: There will be a white picket fence surrounding a plot of tidy grass; there will be no weeds and there will be no, gasp, fallen autumn leaves....

WARNING: Driving cars kills. Should companies be able to market them as speedy, sexy objects of desire? We all know that cars are dangerous to our health. Drivers of cars kill thousands every year directly by mowing them down, and indirectly through pollution from exhausts. Then of course, there is the damage that drivers do to themselves by not getting exercise. I wrote last year that cars are killing us, and it is time to limit the damage to drivers and to people around them, just like we did with smoking....

John Constantine has a history in live-action.Of course, there was the Keanu Reeves movie all the way back in 2005, an outing that was met with mixed reception; it sits at a 46% critic approval on Rotten Tomatoes.Long after that, actor Matt Ryan was brought aboard as the iconic character for an NBC show—it only lasted one season. But as luck would have it, there was CW’s Legends of Tomorrow, which brought not only Constantine back, but the man who played him....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness premiered in May 2022 and launched young star Xochitl Gomez into the spotlight. Like many other MCU stars, entering the comic-book universe has not been easy. The young actress, who played America Chavez in the Doctor Strange sequel, has unfortunately faced harassment from various angles.The Phase 4 film was banned in multiple countries due to some controversy surrounding LGBTQIA+ themes. Countries such as Saudi Arabia asked the Disney company to remove a 12-second sequence surrounding Chavez’s lesbian parents, although the company refused to do so....

For those wondering if or when Steve Rogers’ Captain America cries during sex, that answer has now been given by Marvel.Despite walking off to live the life he had earned back at the end of Avengers: Endgame, Chris Evans’ Star-Spangled hero was somehow still the talk of the town in Phase 4. One of those topics was his sex life.Once Marvel Studios made the joke about America’s ass, it was all over for Steve—his legacy had been cemented....

DC has faced an uphill battle in trying to build its own cinematic universe, one it has been fighting for decades now. The comic publisher has a long-standing history of its biggest films spending years in development hell, such as Shazam! which took over ten years to see the light of day, and The Flash, which currently sits at eight years and counting. Black Adam is DC’s latest offender in this area, a role Dwayne Johnson was cast for in 2007 but will finally take to the big screen this October....

While details have been scarce about The Acolyte in the past months, it seems that Star Wars and Disney+ are boosting anticipation for its future release as they have revealed the very first look at the series, in addition to new information about its cast and story. Similar to the personality of the Sith themselves, The Acolyte has been filled with mystery ever since Disney officially announced the project. New details have rolled out in the past weeks though, including a key casting update that Logan and His Dark Materials actress Dafne Keen joined The Acolyte in an unknown role....

While The CW’s Arrowverse may be close to its end after a decade on the air, the network remains invested in the world of DC storytelling for at least the foreseeable future. Its next efforts in that venture will come with Gotham Knights, a Batman spin-off centered on Bruce Wayne’s adopted son forming some unexpected alliances in order to avenge Bruce’s death. Set to premiere on The CW sometime in 2023, Gotham Knights recently released its first trailer to the public, showing how Oscar Morgan’s Turner Hayes starts to bring his team together after learning what happened to his father....
