With Hawkeye finally reaching its season finale to close out Marvel Studios’ 2021 slate, viewers are now left to wonder which MCU Disney+ show is coming up next. Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight is one contender, with fans having seen a glimpse at what the show has to offer with the first few tidbits of footage on Disney+ Day.

He’s not exactly treating it like a crisis. But at least he’s doing something… When I wrote about mining giant Glencore pledging to cap its coal production, I did not talk about Michelle Landry, the Australian government minister who described the company’s move as a “kick in the guts”. You see, coal still carries a lot of clout in Australia. This might also explain why Prime Minister Scott Morrison—who once proudly brandished a lump of coal in Parliament—has traditionally been skeptical, if not downright hostile, toward aggressive climate action....

Marvel Studios clearly has plenty to look forward to in 2022 and beyond, even if the marketing and rumors surrounding Spider-Man: No Way Home are saying otherwise at the moment. Included in that new slate of projects are more than a dozen new Disney+ series making their way to the streaming world, many of which were announced during Disney+ Day. Even with the excitement surrounding recently-revealed entries like Agatha: House of Darkness and Marvel Zombies, fans have their eyes peeled for information on series that came to light long before this event....

The next MCU film is Black Widow, and it has the distinction of ending a full two-year long gap in MCU movies.

To help fans get hyped for new releases, Disney has established a precedent of creating collections on Disney+ for the main characters of upcoming projects....

One of the most memorable moments of 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the arrival of Darth Vader and his red-sabered slaughtering of rebels. While Vader had been heavily rumored to be in the film, the overpowering fight sequence was unexpected amongst most fans. Seeing Anakin Skywalker on the big screen for the first time since 2005’s Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was exciting for most fans, especially since it was in the form of Darth Vader from just moments before the beginning of Star Wars: A New Hope....

Throughout its inaugural season run thus far, Star Wars: The Bad Batch — Lucasfilm Animation’s latest series — has followed experimental Clone Force 99 and young, female clone Omega in the wake of the events of Order 66 and the conclusion of Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ final season.

No location in Star Wars history has seen more action than the desert planet Tatooine, which has been a part of the narrative since the beginning in 1977’s A New Hope. Originally used as Luke Skywalker’s home before his journey to become a Jedi, Tatooine has seen more than its fair share of action, from the big-screen movies to the streaming Disney+ shows. Most recently, the planet served as the home base for nearly the entirety of The Book of Boba Fett as the former bounty hunter started his rule over the land after Jabba the Hutt’s death....

Taika Waititi’s take on the God of Thunder was a resounding success when he first entered the MCU scene with Thor: Ragnarok. So, it was no surprise that he would be returning to take Chris Hemsworth on another wild and outrageous ride for a fourth outing. What was surprising, is how, this time around, Love and Thunder didn’t land quite as well as the director’s first rodeo. While the initial reactions were oddly positive, when reviews started hitting, the reception was generally lukewarm....

Charles Darwin was intrigued with so many evolutionary puzzles. One thing that vexed him was why so many domesticated animals, particularly dogs and livestock, tended to have drooping ears. “Our domesticated quadrupeds are all descended, as far as is known, from species having erect ears,” Darwin pointed out in “The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication.” “Cats in China, horses in parts of Russia, sheep in Italy and elsewhere, the guinea-pig in Germany, goats and cattle in India, rabbits, pigs and dogs in all long-civilized countries....

It’s that time of year when the harvest is coming in, and people are boiling bottles doing their canning. It has become a popular hobby and a great way to save money, but during World War I and II it was a critical part of the war effort. Twenty million American families had victory gardens, and when autumn came, much of that had to be preserved. Waste Not Want Not As in this WWI poster from the McGill Canadian War Poster collection shows, mom passed on the skills to daughter....

Dear Pablo: Is it true that the heat absorbed by dark solar panels contributes to climate change? The Source Of The Myth This myth recently surfaced in the sequel to Freakanomics, call Superfreakanomics. Some people are very disappointed with the authors, who created quite a stir with their first book. The source of the myth is a quote by Nathan Myhrvold, the former Chief Technology Officer of Microsoft (commenting outside of his expertise):...

New rumors surfaced that point towards some key connections between Marvel Studios’ Deadpool 3 and the Multiverse itself.Many were quick to suspect that Ryan Reynold’s third movie would have ties to the ever-expanding Multiverse. Not only is the leading character seemingly the same Merc as the one in Fox’s X-Men Universe, but the project also co-stars Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine—someone who died at the of Logan.Adding to it all, a previous rumor claimed that there would be some major Loki connections in the film, including the appearance of both Mobius and the TVA....

Marvel Studios is inching closer to its latest theatrical release with May’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which features longtime Hollywood veteran Sam Raimi as director. While Doctor Strange 2 is Raimi’s first entry in the expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe, the horror master has a history with some of Marvel’s biggest names in film. That experience came with directing Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man trilogy from 2002 to 2007, bringing the web-slinger to life for the first time alongside Kirsten Dunst’s Mary-Jane Watson and Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin....

Episode 4 of Marvel Studios’ latest Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, certainly packed quite a punch, particularly with his explosive and gruesome ending. But, more so than that, the episode featured great character work for Bucky Barnes, a deeper understanding of the Flag Smashers’ motive, and a pulse-pounding fight featuring Wakanda’s Dora Milaje. Now, a new batch of stills from the episodes highlights everything mentioned above and more… “THE DORA MILAJE HAVE JURISDICTION WHERE EVER THE DORA MILAJE FIND THEMSELVES TO BE....
