Although Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige first announced this Disney+ show during Disney Investor Day in late 2020, minimal updates have come regarding the project over the past two years.Cheadle’s James Rhodes is set to be the leading character in his first MCU project, facing the ramifications of Tony Stark’s technology falling into the wrong hands....

No doubt Marvel Studios exceeded the high bar of fan expectations at San Diego Comic-Con. But amidst that gripping Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer and the slew of Phase 5 and 6 announcements, the lack of news for one of Marvel’s most anticipated films - Fantastic Four - seemingly flew under the radar. To be fair, Marvel Studios did announce an official release date for Fantastic Four at Comic-Con, as well as the fact that the film would kick off Phase 6 of the MCU....

As new DC Studios chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran look to reshape the DC Universe, they have reportedly nixed a solo Batman movie that would have starred Michael Keaton.Keaton is currently set to make a thrilling return to the cape and cowl in 2023’s The Flash, pushing the boundaries of the DC Multiverse to new heights with his older and highly experienced Caped Crusader.

© Foster and partners/ NBBJ Editor in Chief Meg O’Neill used to say that one shouldn’t try to put too many concepts into one post, so when I covered Google’s London headquarters recently, I concentrated on the Marissa Mayer/ Yahoo! connection and only alluded to Apple with a reference to Norman Foster. But there is an interesting comparison to be made between the designs of the new Apple HQ and that of Google’s....

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is rapidly approaching its finale, and the anticipation has been sky-high. After an exciting team-up with Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, Episode 8 ended with an unexpected game-changer as it was finally revealed what Intelligencia is capable of while also showcasing the titular heroine’s rage. Marketing for the finale has already spoiled the return of Mark Ruffalo’s Smart Hulk, and it seems he will be going at it with Abomination once again....

Spider-Man: No Way Home is clearly slated to be the MCU’s biggest venture since Avengers: Endgame as it sees the return of heroes and villains from across the multiverse. Even beyond the multiversal goings-on of the movie, the highly-anticipated sequel will be following up on one of the biggest cliffhangers of all time as Peter Parker’s Spider-Man identity has now been revealed to the world. So far, based on both trailers and additional marketing, Sony and Marvel Studios have teased the return of Doc Ock, Electro, Sandman, Lizard, and Green Goblin....

In a massive surprise to fans, Studio Ghibli shared that it would be teaming up with Star Wars and Indiana Jones’ Lucasfilm, leading some to believe the collaboration is for Star Wars: Visions.Even for all the success that Star Wars has had with live-action movies and shows, some of its best storytelling has come in the animated format over the past decade and a half. Starting off with Star Wars: The Clone Wars in 2008, the franchise now boasts nearly half a dozen animated titles that all tie into various points throughout the Skywalker Saga, even bringing the Mandoverse in as well....

It is a giant electric radiator that they forgot to turn on due to a software failure. Apple’s new Chicago store is a beautiful thing, with a 111 by 98 foot carbon fibre roof that Apple says is “designed to be as thin as possible, and the entire structure is supported by four interior pillars that allow the 32-foot glass facades to remain unobscured.” Jony Ives says “Apple Michigan Avenue is about removing boundaries between inside and outside, reviving important urban connections within the city....

When Thor: Love and Thunder was first announced, it wasn’t Chris Hemsworth’s Thor that was put in the spotlight. No, it was Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster, who came out on stage shortly after it was revealed that her character would not only be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe but that the good doctor would harness the power of Mjolnir herself. No details were given as to how it will all go down, and fans are still in the dark when it comes to any details....

The Mandalorian may be the story of a bounty hunter turned father figure to a mysterious Jedi youngling, but it will always be remembered for the revival of original trilogy-era Luke Skywalker. In The Mandalorian’s Season 2 finale, titled “The Rescue,” fans witnessed the return of a young Luke Skywalker for the first time in 37 years courtesy of de-aging tech. But even though the cameo was a huge hit with fans, Luke’s final look was not....

The winds that fan catastrophic Northern California fires are borne out of a complicated mash-up of meteorology, physics, geography, and topography. In 2017, Sonoma and Napa counties were thick in the midst of some of California’s worst fires ever. Those in the Golden State know to expect massive fires in the wilderness, but that particular firestorm broke normal convention and devoured whole neighborhoods at a terrifying rate. It’s as if a giant flamethrower had been aimed at blocks and blocks of tidy homes, leaving little more than charred rubble punctuated by the eerie pillars of fireplace chimneys....

When temperatures drop or snow starts to fall, many of us hibernate inside under warm blankets — after stocking up on bread and milk, of course. But not our dogs. Cold? They love the cold! They run around the yard with heads held high and tails streaming, bucking like frisky foals. But it’s even more amazing when it snows. That baffling, stupendous, chilling white stuff is for catching, rolling around and racing in....

No other work surface compares when it comes to cleanliness, knife maintenance, and - let’s be honest - attractiveness. Ask a chef what their most important tool is, and they’ll probably say a knife. A good knife makes cooking far easier and more pleasant, but only when it’s paired with a trusty partner – the cutting board. Having a proper cutting board is important because it keeps a knife from going dull too soon....

She-Hulk is set to introduce a brand new hero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, marking the debut of Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters. The upcoming series is part of the franchise’s small screen slate on Disney+, as it follows the origin story of Walters as she transitions into a full-fledged superhero.

January can be a tight month financially. It’s the time for reckoning with excessive holiday spending and paying off one’s credit card bills. For many Americans, the situation has been made worse this year, due to the government shutdown that is withholding paychecks. Needless to say, it’s a month for hunkering down and making do with less. One of the best ways to save a considerable amount of money is to embrace a simpler form of cooking....

It’s not like other forms of gardening. Here’s why. Remember that awesome video showing the first three years of a backyard food forest? Even with the slideshow explaining how Dan from Plant Abundance turned a litter-strewn yard into an urban oasis, I have to admit that a Lazivore like me was still intimidated. That’s why I was delighted to see that Dan just posted a new video explaining the simple principles behind his method of gardening....

In the past, the arrival of fall meant a scramble to harvest and preserve as much food as possible before the cold weather set in. Most families would spend many long hours working on this enormous task because their year-round access to food depended on it. Only in recent decades have we become reliant on the convenience of refrigerators, which are wonderful for keeping food fresh — until the power goes out....
