Wolves are highly social and family-oriented animals. Rather than living in a pack of unrelated wolves, a pack is usually made up of an alpha male and female, offspring from previous years who are “helper” wolves, and the current year’s litter of pups. Sometimes, but rarely, a lone outsider will be welcomed into the pack as well. Packs can range from as few as three or four wolves to as many as 20 members depending on the abundance of food within the pack’s territory....

Before Doctor Doom becomes a major player in the MCU, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever director Ryan Coogler is speaking out about how Doom’s past appearances could impact his arrival.While Marvel fans gear up for the release of Black Panther 2 in the coming days, much of the attention has centered on the iconic Fantastic Four villain, Victor Von Doom.

Marvel Studios has a trio of highly-anticipated sequels adding to its theatrical MCU slate this year, starting off with the dimension-jumping shenanigans in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This comes before Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder in early July and the much-awaited Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in November. Black Panther 2 is set to introduce a couple of brand-new characters into the mix, most notably including Tenoch Huerta’s Namor the Submariner - an anti-hero which Marvel Studios just gained the rights to use in film....

Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill has certainly had quite a series of adventures in the MCU thus far. From teaming up with a ragtag group of alien criminals in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy to deepening his relationships with his friends and confronting his malevolent father in the 2017 sequel. After two pitstops for the character in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Quill will next be seen palling around with the God of Thunder himself in Thor: Love and Thunder, out in July....

The first reactions to Michael B. Jordan’s Creed 3 have been incredibly strong, with many praising the “scene stealer” Jonathan Majors’ performance as lead antagonist Damian.The Rocky spin-off franchise Creed will soon be back for a third go-around after two hit flicks starring Jordan as champion boxer Adonis Creed. Currently, 2015’s Creed stands at an astonishing 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, dropping, but still standing tall, with 83% for Creed 2.Although the third bout in the franchise will be going in with some risks, and not just because this will be the directorial debut for Michael B....

With slaughterhouses closed, they’re doing anything to avoid mass euthanasia. Earlier this month, a pig farmer named Chad Lubben from Minnesota was so desperate to get rid of his pigs, which are ready for butchering, that he created a Craigslist ad in hopes that nearby community members would buy them. The alternative? Euthanizing them in his yard and paying someone to haul the carcasses away, because the usual plan of sending them to a meatpacking plant and getting their meat to market has been ruined by the coronavirus....

Multiple Star Wars and Marvel series are confirmed to be releasing episodes on Disney+ in March. Despite recent news of possible Disney+ delays or retools, 2023 is still expected to be a big year for the streamer in terms of content. While some franchise-related shows and specials have already dropped, March appears to be the start for some of the streamer’s biggest projects, including the return of its original smash-hit series....

Nearly a year after Eternals’ theatrical debut, Druig actor Barry Keoghan broke down this film’s middling reception amongst critics and fans.Director Chloé Zhao’s MCU debut was one of the most hotly anticipated films in Marvel Studios history, as the Oscar-winning director brought forth her sprawling super-powered epic. However, upon release, the film flopped, both critically and at the box office. While the future of Zhao’s MCU franchise has been put into question, the director has remained adamant that she “would be back in a second” if an Eternals 2 were to happen....

DC has been channeling the essence of its heroes as of late, answering the calls of its fans for “more superhero news!” First, there was the report that Michael Keaton was in talks to reprise his role as the caped crusader in the upcoming The Flash film, and then the rumor that a Zatanna movie is in development at Warner Brothers. In a time where superhero news has been sparse, DC seems to be in full force, and fans are not complaining....

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is primed and ready to round out the MCU’s theatrical slate for 2022 and Phase 4 as a whole. The upcoming sequel has had its fair share of bumps in the road during production, the most difficult being the tragic passing of star Chadwick Boseman. Boseman’s untimely death sent shockwaves through not just Marvel Studios, but the movie industry as a whole. And it left the MCU with some pretty impressive shoes to fill when it comes to who would take on the franchise’s Black Panther mantle going forward....

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is set to feature Bill Murray’s MCU debut, and a new batch of promotional posters appear to hint that he has a larger-than-expected role.Ant-Man 3’s teaser trailer surprised everyone when it featured Murray’s character as one of the inhabitants of the Quantum Realm.

Sony Pictures is well on its way to bringing the next chapter in its Spider-Man universe with Kraven the Hunter, which features an all-star cast of characters and actors.Sony’s Spider-Man Universe has struggled to produce movies that consistently earn critical and financial acclaim, as most recently shown by the studio’s most disappointing outing yet in Jared Leto’s Morbius. But next year, the Sony team is hoping to change the narrative for the franchise thanks to the Kraven cast that will take center stage before 2023 comes to an end....

When Sony originally announced the Venom film, fans were riled up—how can someone make a Venom solo film without having Spider-Man involved in any capacity? It certainly goes against the very character the studio was adapting. Nonetheless, the studio pressed on. In fact, audiences are just over two months away from the sequel for that 2018 film. Venom: Let There Be Carnage is set to release on September 24, and this time, as the title hints, Cletus Cassidy’s Carnage will be making his live-action debut—still without any Spider-Man to be heard of....

In our increasingly digital world, it can sometimes feel like physical books and paper products are going the way of the dodo. That is, of course, good news for the environment, but a real loss in other ways. After all, so many people rely on the enduring versatility and comforting physicality of paper to express themselves. One of the most common examples of this is through daily journaling, but many others take it a step further by creating fantastical works of visual art using paper or sometimes entire books....

Avengers: Endgame was a massive event for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The movie brought together over a decade of storytelling and teamed up an insane number of characters to take on a larger-than-life threat. But there was something else about its story that changed the entire MCU landscape and would have a domino effect on everything that came after: The Blip. For five years, half of all living organisms vanished. Then, suddenly, they were back—complete and utter chaos....

Ask 10 gardeners if you should prune tomato plants and you may come away with 10 different answers. Some gardeners swear by pruning, while others don’t see the benefit of pruning their plants at all. Watch Pruning Tomatoes for Production One aspect of tomato pruning that I do follow and recommend is removing suckers from the crotch (where the stem and a branch meet) whenever I spot them. If left to grow, the sucker will develop into a branch of its own, flower and even set fruit....

Spider-Man: No Way Home is no stranger to leaks. Every other day we are talking about some new massive leak, either about Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, or something related to Charlie Cox’s Daredevil. This new strange leak, however, might give us the firmest confirmation yet that Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker is in fact appearing in Spider-Man 3. After more than a year of wild rumors and confirmed news about casting and stories, promotion for Spider-Man: No Way Home is finally in high gear....

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse senior character animator Ere Santos broke down the unprecedented visuals in the upcoming sequel. Santos spent just over a year working on Spider-Verse 2, ultimately leaving Sony Pictures Imageworks in September 2022 to help Walt Disney Animation Studios to open up their Vancouver-based office. On the Sony Pictures side, the Across the Spider-Verse team has been very vocal about the visual identity of the film, previously saying this is something that can only “really happen in animation....

Many would agree that Boba Fett is one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars franchise. The galaxy’s infamous bounty hunter debuted during Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, making a name for himself by capturing Han Solo on Bespin. The character suffered his apparent demise during the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, but The Mandalorian later revealed that he escaped the Sarlacc Pit with his life....

Romance has been a cornerstone of Spider-Man stories for decades, with the character having numerous romantic interests in the comics. Many of them came and went, such as Betty Brant, but some, like Gwen Stacy, latched onto Peter Parker’s heart like a vice. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker had his first failure in love with Laura Harrier’s Liz Toomes in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Peter was thankfully able to find love with Zendaya’s Michelle “MJ” Jones in the sequel and, while Peter’s identity as Spider-Man was compromised in Spider-Man: No Way Home, they still made it work....
