The DC show has successfully carried the torch for the network, launching multiple crossovers featuring the stars of Batwoman and Supergirl. While The Flash is currently showcasing its eighth season, there have been reports that the show might come to an end sooner rather than later....

One of Ryan Reynold’s most recent films was Free Guy. The project was directed by Shawn Levy (who is now helming Deadpool 3) and followed an NPC named Guy in a virtual MMO-type world that sees him through the motions of his life. In his case, this involved events such as random gunfire, brawls in bakeries, and even the daily bank robbery. Everything started to change when he realized he was actually a Not Player Controlled (NPC) character in a video game, with people from the “real world” controlling those parading around the streets of his city and causing chaos wherever they went....

There are signs that the industry is cooling down, but we still all have so much stuff. Self-storage is relatively new to Britain, but since it was introduced in 1977 it has grown dramatically. Daniel Cohen writes about it in the Financial Times: “We deal with the three most stressful things: moving, death and divorce,” says Susie Fabre, who runs A&A; Storage, an independent firm in north London. Cohen describes how people have less space than they used to:...

Sadly, it doesn’t look like the actor will be sticking around since Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige did the casting because it was “an alternate universe” and “since fans wanted it.” But before the project finds its four leading cast members, it’ll need to get a director. While Jon Watts was directing it at one point and time, he “need[ed] a break” after his work on Spider-Man: No Way Home. While no replacement has been named yet, Deadline previously revealed that Fantastic Four is “easily Marvel’s top ODA (Open Directing Assignment)....

Hawkeye had a lot going on during its 2021 streaming run. The Disney+ series followed Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton as he helped Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop clean up a Christmas mess. While introducing those two new heroes was the main priority, there was someone else whose entrance into the MCU had major significance going forward: Maya Lopez, aka Echo. Alaqua Cox’s character was the leader of the Tracksuit Mafia, the gang of criminals who were after the titular heroes in all six episodes....

For the first time in three years, Marvel Studios will be back on stage at San Diego Comic-Con to tease what’s on the way for Phase 4 of the MCU and beyond.

Across four Netflix series, fans were introduced to Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist with the promise they would all team up in The Defenders. Unfortunately, the final stages of that plan proved to be disappointing for many as both Iron Fist and the Avengers-esque crossover event were met with poor reception from fans and critics alike. Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, Mike Colter’s Luke Cage, and Jon Bernthal’s Punisher were all met with open arms and excellent reactions, but that wasn’t the case for Finn Jones’ Iron Fist....

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 is seemingly going to be a more ‘grounded’ story for the MCU’s web-slinger, but what sort of plot points could be present to live up to this super-powered superlative? A fourth MCU Spidey flick has yet to be officially announced, but with a new deal for Tom Holland seemingly “comin’ right up,” another adventure for the webhead looks to be on the horizon. Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man 4 has been teased to have more of a focus on “quality and emotion,” rather than spectacle....

Marvel’s WandaVision on Disney+ was a literal treasure trove of references and tributes to not just television sitcom history, but also Marvel Comics. One of the best was featured in Episode 6 titled “All-New Halloween Spooktacular” where Wanda and Vision wore their comic book costumes for Westview’s Halloween celebration. Granted, the couple never attributed their respective fashion choices to the comics. In fact, Wanda claimed she was dressed as a Sokovian fortune-teller while Vision was a Mexican wrestler....
