The Marvel Cinematic Universe is in the midst of kicking off Phase 4, which is filled with more new content than any slate in the studio’s history to date. This includes a multitude of upcoming theatrical releases and a dozen unique series premiering on Disney+, many of them introducing heroes never seen in the MCU before. Included in this new wave of heroes are major steps toward increased diversity in the franchise with movies like Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and Blade....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is best known for taking bold risks, and this particular trait of the franchise is being pushed to the forefront in Phase 4. After mainly focusing on films throughout the Infinity Saga, Marvel Studios is now embracing the small screen by introducing several shows on Disney+ that heavily connect to big-screen features. Another key development for the studio is the arrival of an R-Rated property in the form of Deadpool 3, marking the first time that this kind of project will be included in the MCU’s lineup....

Back when Black Widow had already started filming, the world still didn’t know it existed. In fact, Marvel Studios continued to ignore its existence even when set photos came out. Now a similar situation is happening with the upcoming special Werewolf by Midnight. While it may not have that name by the time it airs, the Halloween special is said to be set for release later this year. Yet, Marvel Studios has still not officially acknowledged the project....

Moon Knight is the hero on everyone’s minds at the moment. The Marvel character’s live-action series just debuted a wild fourth episode on Disney+, but that isn’t the only place fans can catch Moon Knight this week. For years now Epic Games and Marvel have teamed up to bring epic playable characters and cosmetic items to the Fortnite store. It’s not uncommon for these releases to occur alongside the arrival of a new Marvel movie or series....

On Disney+ Day 2021, Marvel Studios released the first look at Moon Knight, which showed off Oscar Isaac’s controversial accent for Steven Grant and the caped hero pumbling something supernatural in a bathroom. On further inspection of the sizzle reel, fans noticed this same creeping villain seemingly stalking Grant in a museum. Fans debated whether this creature was a werewolf drawn to Grant or some servant of a rival Egyptian god to Khonshu, such as Anubis, the jackal-headed and Egyptian god of the dead....

One of the most popular posts on TreeHugger ever was one on a mirrored treehouse hotel in Sweden; it totally broke our site. So with some trepidation I post herein the ÖÖD; it is a design out of Estonia for an instant prefab mirrored hotel room pod; just add to Airbnb and you are in business. © Maris Tomba for OOD © OOD It is plug and play, coming with everything you need....

Minette Layne/CC BY-SA 2.0 Starfish. Also known as sea stars. We see them all over the place. They’re a ubiquitous ocean species, with around 1,800 living species occurring in all the world’s oceans, and even at depths greater than 6,000 meters. In fact, they’re so common, we may too often overlook exactly how strange and amazing they really are. So let’s take a moment to have our minds blown by the freaky, gorgeous starfish....

According to a new report, a minor character from The Batman is being recast for its upcoming spinoff, The Penguin.Living outside of the DCU, Matt Reeves’ take on the Dark Knight was a home run for most. After the film’s success, it’s not surprising to see the studio give him multiple spinoff opportunities.One of those projects will be focused on Arkham Asylum and its inmates—which could pave the way for more of Barry Keoghan’s Joker and Paul Dano’s Riddler....

Out of Marvel Studios’ many upcoming Disney+ projects, Secret Invasion is arguably shrouded in the most mystery. Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos will reprise their roles with Emilia Clarke, Olivia Coleman, and Kingsley Ben-Adir making their MCU debuts. In a major departure from the comic storyline it’s inspired by, Secret Invasion isn’t expected to feature any of the Avengers and will instead center around a smaller cast, tapping into the paranoia and espionage elements of the event....

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’s finale took things to another level by featuring meta references to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Marvel Studios. In fact, the episode actually featured at least 20 MCU heroes and villains by way of archival footage, such as Captain America, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange. After being dissatisfied with how the finale had quickly become a cameo fest, Tatiana Maslany’s Jen Walters punched through the Disney+ interface and entered the Marvel Studios: Assembled special of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings....

It is only a matter of time until the fan-favorite Grand Admiral makes his way into live-action. Unfortunately, Danish actor Lars Mikkelsen shared some news that will disappoint many Star Wars fans.Thrawn was created for the beloved Heir to the Empire EU trilogy by writer Timothy Zahn. However, Dave Filoni has since taken Zahn’s character into animation in Star Wars Rebels.In the animated tv series, Thrawn is voiced by actor Lars Mikkelsen and has not been seen since Ezra captured him and sent them both into unknown regions....

The Mandalorian Season 2 featured tons of surprises, but many would agree that Luke Skywalker’s return in the finale brought the house down. Played by Mark Hamill, the fan-favorite Jedi returned during the final minutes of the Season 2 finale to save Grogu, Mando, and the rest of their allies against Moff Gideon’s Dark Troopers. The successful rescue led to an emotional sequence between Grogu and Din Djarin, considering that the former will now join Luke to start his Jedi training....

Even with new Star Wars Disney+ offerings such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor, fans are eager to continue the story of The Mandalorian and the spin-offs surrounding it. As the MandoVerse expands with The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, Rangers of the New Republic, and Skeleton Crew, Lucasfilm has big plans for the future, which will next be explored in The Mandalorian Season 3. With Season 3 on the way to Disney+ in February 2023, after footage was just recently shown at Star Wars Celebration, plans are already underway for Season 4 and beyond....

Every hero needs a love interest; Tony Stark has Pepper Potts; Steve Rogers has Peggy Carter; Stephen Strange has Christine Palmer, or at least, he did. Despite having no connection to Marvel Comics’ Sorcerer Supreme, Rachel McAdams made her MCU debut in Doctor Strange as a surgeon colleague and former love interest of Benedict Cumberbatch’s sorcerer.After some time together, the couple separated but remained friends due to Strange’s extreme ego and desperation to be in control....

Q: What do I do with my clothes that are too worn out for the Goodwill bin? More importantly, what do I do with all my husband’s old T-shirts that he’s had since college, and some since elementary school? I can’t give them to Goodwill – no one in their right mind would wear his pit-stained, washed 400 times, lifeguard T-shirt from the 10th grade, right? What do I do with this stuff?...

Each time a report surfaces of beached whales, we’re left to wonder again: Why do these majestic creatures strand themselves on shore? It’s not a new question by any stretch. It dates as far back as Aristotle, maybe even earlier. “It is not known for what reason they run themselves aground on dry land; at all events it is said that they do so at times, and for no obvious reason,” he wrote in “Historia Animalium....

Brought to you by the researchers who spend their time studying the mysterious mechanics that happen behind the closed dishwasher door. Of all the complicated things we have to contend with in day-to-day life, if you own a dishwasher then how to properly load it may seem trivial at best. But bear with me. If an efficiently loaded dishwasher means not having to pre-rinse your dishes or re-wash ones that were not cleaned well enough the first time, then that saving of resources actually does mean something....

The Arrowverse used to be the talk of the town, but in recent years, the interconnected universe of television shows on the CW has receded into the background. It’s admittedly easy to forget about when there are projects like Black Adam and Shazam! Fury of the Gods in the works—not to mention The Flash. The CW landscape has been changing a lot recently, with Black Lightning having come to a close and Supergirl finishing up its run next season....

As the MCU fandom prepares for two mega-event movies in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, many are wondering whether one of these two movies could bring back Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.Avengers 5 and Avengers 6 are set to not only bring the current members of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes together but also potentially include legacy heroes from the past three decades that originated both in and out of the MCU....
