While much of the DC conversation has been dominated by the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max and the on-set behavior of director Joss Whedon, DC still has an impressive slate of projects coming down the pipeline from James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam. Black Adam star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has kept fans updated on the film’s progress through social media, sharing the timeline for the start of production and saying he is “Black Adam ready....

In the coming weeks and months, Star Wars fans will finally get a glimpse of what Marvel audiences experience on the regular: a steady diet of content. After Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres on May 27 on Disney+, fans can expect Andor in late-summer, The Mandalorian Season 3 in late 2022 or early 2023, and Ahsoka after that, which has just started filming. While it seems this revival has just begun, it technically began with The Book of Boba Fett, whose reception has unfortunately remained mixed at best....

Captain America: New World Order is eyeing a May 2024 release, but an exciting new update revealed when the MCU movie will begin filming. News about Captain America 4’s production slowed down after its working title, “Rochelle Rochelle,” was unveiled last October 2022. Since then, the confirmation of Harrison Ford’s involvement as Thunderbolt Ross and a rumored Wolverine connection in the movie has made headlines for the upcoming MCU flick. As MCU fans welcome the new year, a clearer production window for Captain America 4 has emerged....

Hardwood or deciduous trees can be harmed or killed by disease-causing organisms called pathogens. The most common tree diseases are caused by fungi. Fungi lack chlorophyll and derive nourishment by feeding on (parasitizing) trees. Many fungi are microscopic but some are visible in the form of mushrooms or conks. Also, some tree diseases are caused by bacteria and viruses. Pathogens can infect many different tree species with similar disease symptoms....

There is no such thing as a mold-proof home. Mold spores exist in the air inside our homes, but we can cohabit peacefully as long as those spores don’t find moisture and start growing. If they do, it’s only a matter of time before mold spreads, and once that happens, it can be difficult to nearly impossible to eradicate. There is a silver lining: you can’t eliminate mold, but you can discourage its growth....

Grizzly bears are emerging from their dens roughly a month ahead of schedule, according to Yellowstone park officials who say the spring-like weather is to blame. The first confirmed report of grizzly activity was on Feb. 9, when a bear was spotted scavenging on a bison carcass. After months of hibernation, grizzlies are ravenous and typically feed on the carcasses of winter-killed animals like bison, deer and elk. Park staff even conduct annual surveys to locate such carcasses and designate certain areas of the 2....

Harrison Ford’s reported casting in Marvel Studios’ Captain America: New World Order as a recast Thunderbolt Ross made tons of headlines in the past months, and he’s finally addressed his upcoming MCU debut. In September, Ford was reportedly tapped to replace the late William Hurt to portray the MCU’s Thunderbolt Ross in 2024’s Captain America 4. While the exact plot details of the Anthony Mackie-led solo film are still shrouded in secrecy, another rumor unveiled that Ross is building his own “new world order” in the movie, pitting him against the titular Star-Spangled Avenger....

I admit to once — just once — forgetting to thaw my Thanksgiving turkey. It was many years ago, before I started purchasing fresh, local turkeys. I had gotten a free turkey from the grocery store a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving and put it in the freezer. I ended up doing something that I now know could have been dangerous. The day before Thanksgiving, I filled my sink with warm water and plunged the turkey in....

Brown bears Black bears Polar bears Other bears Bears don’t want to attack people. We kill them far more often than they kill us, and many bears seem to be aware of that ratio. When they do attack, it’s usually because they were either starved or startled. Yet despite their hesitance, attacks have increased in many parts of the world. Yellowstone National Park has seen human-bear conflicts rise in recent years, for example, including two fatal attacks in 2011 (the park’s first in 25 years) and another in 2015....

Earlier today, DC announced the DC FanDome on August 22. Unlike other conventions and fan celebrations, the DC FanDome is a free virtual convention available on DCFanDome.com for 24 hours, where fans will hear from casts and creators behind DC films and TV series and have the ability to explore themed worlds while receiveing news and announcements, This virtual gathering promises new updates and panels for Wonder Woman 1984, Batwoman, Harley Quinn, The Batman, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and more....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has often been criticized for its trend of character death fake-outs during the Infinity Saga. During a good chunk of the first three phases, the majority of heroes were left unscathed after world-altering battles with powerful enemies while most villains ultimately died in the end. In the long list of MCU characters, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury top the list of fake-out deaths, with some even joking that the two characters are immortal....

For over a decade, The Incredible Hulk has been the black sheep of Marvel Studios. It’s such an outlier for the studio that it still hasn’t been included on Disney’s streaming service, although that might be coming sooner than expected thanks to some switching of character rights. Fans were pleasantly surprised by the return of Tim Roth’s Abomination in the upcoming She-Hulk series. However, it didn’t end there, as the Abomination will make a surprise appearance in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, sporting a brand new design....

Hawkeye featured the surprise appearance of Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk a.k.a. Kingpin in its last two episodes, thus leading to a debate about whether or not Netflix’s Daredevil is canon to the MCU. In the series, there are notable differences between the MCU’s Fisk and Daredevil’s Kingpin, such as his clothes, his personality, and his strength. Still, D’Onofrio claimed that he portrayed the same character from the Netflix series. A now-deleted official listing from Marvel’s website may also have settled the Daredevil canon debate, as a report of Matt Murdock’s on-screen history referred to the events of his Netflix series, The Defenders team-up, and his surprise comeback in Spider-Man: No Way Home....

Only a short time after being reimagined in the pages of Marvel comics, Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan finished her thrilling MCU debut in the Ms. Marvel series on Disney+. Utilizing all six episodes to build Kamala’s origin story and her eventual powers, the heroine now has an opportunity for an extended run through Phase 4 and beyond. After first finding Aisha’s bangle in the first episode, the MCU’s new take on Kamala’s powers began making an impact as she took a more cosmic direction than her comics counterpart....

Throughout the decades of comics, TV shows, and films, no hero has been as consistently popular as the web-slinging Spider-Man. The 21st century has been particularly kind to Peter Parker, with eight solo movies centered around the character starring Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland - that all culminated with the biggest movie event of 2021 in Spider-Man: No Way Home. At the start of this new wave of wall-crawler films was 2002’s Spider-Man, which featured Sam Raimi as the director and Tobey Maguire as Sony’s leading man....

Ryan Reynolds has rewatched a Hugh Jackman film in preparation for Deadpool 3.When it was announced that Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool franchise was joining the MCU, the news was met with excitement but also questions. While many of those questions have yet to be answered, many assumed Marvel Studios’ focus on the Multiverse would play into the explanation. However, Reynolds had another twist in store for his MCU debut. On the heels of Marvel Studios announcements at both San Diego Comic-Con and at the D23 Expo, Reynolds revealed that Hugh Jackman would be reprising his role as Wolverine for Deadpool 3....

One of Marvel Studios’ greatest strengths is pulling in their audiences and engaging with their fans, whether it be through laughs or through tears. Think back to the first time you watched Avengers: Infinity War. Picture the most dramatic moments, the intense battles, and the heartbreaking emotion. You can almost hear it, can’t you? If the music behind Infinity War wasn’t the masterpiece that it is, a lot of the emotion would be lost in the film, and it would have been far less memorable....

Despite being a movie starring arguably the most popular comic book character of all-time, Spider-Man: No Way Home is making a name for itself as the most hyped film in recent memory. With more than a year’s worth of teases leading up to its debut at the end of 2021, the MCU’s final release of the year is almost guaranteed to be one that changes the franchise forever.The excruciating wait for Spider-Man: No Way Home’s first trailer ended in late August as Marvel and Sony showed exactly what Peter Parker will be facing in his biggest solo movie to date....

After an extended delay, Star Wars Celebration will finally be returning to Anaheim in late May. Originally scheduled for August 2020, the galaxy’s biggest convention was delayed by the COVID-19 outbreak to August 2022, but was subsequently bumped up to the current set of dates. The event as scheduled is now closer to Celebration timeframes of the past, offering fans an array of things to look forward to as the year to come follows....

The world is made up of countless cultures, ethnicities, religions, genders, sexual orientations, and disabilities, all of which want to feel represented in the entertainment they consume, which is why diversity is paramount in the modern era. Marvel Studios has taken this lesson more strongly than ever in recent years, with Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Eternals marking notable milestones for diversity in the MCU. 2018’s Black Panther was a game-changer not just for the MCU but for Hollywood as a whole, as it was among the first major blockbusters to feature a primarily Black ensemble....
