Karen Gillan is in for a huge couple of years with her role as Nebula in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After exploring new versions of her heroine in the animated What If…? show, she’s set for appearances as the machine-infused daughter of Thanos in Thor: Love and Thunder and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. And of course, this all comes after her key role in 2019’s mega-blockbuster Avengers: Endgame. The Infinity Saga’s epic conclusion saw Nebula and the other heroes hopping through time to save their fallen comrades, but that wasn’t Gillan’s first foray into time travel....

Marvel revealed comic variant covers to promote Marvel’s “Edge of Spider-Verse” event, featuring heroes like Thor and Scarlet Witch in Spider-Man costumes. The Spider-Verse is set to be pushed to the forefront when Sony’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse premieres later this year, but Marvel is doing its own thing to promote the Multiverse storyline in the comics. Created by Dan Slott, “Edge of the Spider-Verse” is focused on telling the story of the “bleeding edge” of the Spider-Verse, introducing new heroes and bringing back old ones in the web-slinger’s important battle yet....

Jonathan Majors revealed his main goal for playing Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.The new big bad will follow Josh Brolin’s Thanos in being the leading antagonist for the whole MCU across the Multiverse Saga.But how can Majors ever stack up against Thanos? Well, for one, as the actor previously mentioned, “[his] assignment is different, and the character of Kang is different.” So it seems that the man behind the Conqueror isn’t too afraid of feeling repetitive or living up to the Mad Titan’s legacy....

Marvel Studios’ new era of Disney+ series is about to start in crazy fashion on January 15 with WandaVision, the first of six new shows premiering in 2021. Half of those shows have finished filming and most of post-production, while the other half are deep into shooting right now before their releases closer to the end of the year. 2022 will continue this slew of new shows with Don Cheadle’s Armor Wars, Samuel L....

We can’t keep building useless things like this. When some of the biggest firms in the UK announced Architects Declare, promising to meet “the needs of our society without breaching the earth’s ecological boundaries,” I wondered if that meant Norman Foster would give up on his silly Tulip. Fortunately, Lord Foster has been saved by the Mayor of London, who has just rejected the Tulip, writing that the proposal “would not constitute the high standard of design required for a tall building in this location....

A tropical skyscraper by WOHA and Patricia Urquiola is wrapped in a vine-covered sunscreen. There is some debate about whether putting plants on a building is actually useful, or just what I have called greenwrapping, putting a green tinge on an otherwise awful building with green roofs or walls. But the new Oasia Hotel Downtown in Singapore, designed by WOHA and Patricia Urquiola, is a whole new ballgame. According to the press release from V2com,...

All it takes is one logo, and the metaphorical floodgates can suddenly open.Joe Locke posted an image containing a logo for the show to his Instagram story Thursday — a photo that has since been deleted....

The future of green building depends on what comes out of our soil. TreeHugger Melissa tells us that it is World Soil Day, and quotes the Soil Science Society of America: But they miss an important function of soil: it is the foundation of the factories that are the future of green building, the plants that make the materials we should be using if we are going to In our celebration of soil, here is a roundup of our posts on building out of natural materials that grow in our soil....

Robert Downey Jr. revealed how Marvel Studios held back on Iron Man’s production to prepare for its potential underperformance. The MCU has grown to become the biggest franchise in the world today, but there was a time before the superhero craze when the thought of an Iron Man movie seemed crazy - particularly one starring Robert Downey Jr., who had, less than a decade prior, spent time in prison for drug-related crimes....

Deadpool 3 is one of the highly-anticipated Marvel movies, but the threequel has no release date yet. The Ryan Reynolds-led film has been confirmed to be part of the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially now that the franchise has been absorbed by Marvel Studios. Despite not having a release timeline, there have been notable updates about Deadpool 3 in the past, most of them coming from Reynolds himself. It was previously reported that Marvel Studios tapped Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin to write the film....

Any Spider-Man film is an event, but there’s something different about Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. Starring Tom Holland and Benedict Cumberbatch, this upcoming threequel explores Spider-Man’s struggles with the loss of his secret identity, the Multiverse, and a cast of villains from both Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man trilogy and Andrew Garfield’s from The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel. Even though Sony and Marvel have shared the character of Spider-Man from the beginning, a franchise crossover of this nature is unprecedented; and while Marvel’s Phase 4 focus on the Multiverse appears to be the explanation, the real-world tale of how both studios tackled such a task is only beginning to be heard....

Obi-Wan Kenobi is set to explore the titular Jedi Master’s solitude on Tatooine, but the basic premise of the show suggests that it will be peaceful from the get-go. Directed by Deborah Chow, the limited series will banner a massive ensemble of stars including the likes of Joel Edgerton, Kumail Nanjani, and the returning Hayden Christensen from the prequel trilogy. Christensen has been confirmed to reprise his role as Darth Vader, and this essentially points to a rematch between the two former friends....

While there’s plenty to be excited about when it comes to Marvel Studios, there’s one film that might even trump its offerings: The Batman. The film completely blew audiences away last year at Warner Bros.’ first DC FanDome event with its teaser trailer, which gave everyone a proper look at Robert Pattinson as the famous Caped Crusader. People had once doubted Pattinson, but boy were they proven wrong. The hype has been continuing to grow with this year’s FanDome fast approaching....

The growing interest in alternative fuels for cars and trucks is motivated by three important considerations: Alternative fuels generally produce fewer vehicle emissions like nitrogen oxides and greenhouse gases; Most alternative fuels are not derived from finite fossil-fuel resources; and Alternative fuels can help any nation become more energy independent. The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 1992 identified eight alternative fuels. Some are already widely used; others are more experimental or not yet readily available....

Glass recycling is a simple way to make a beneficial contribution to preserving our environment. Let’s take a look at some the benefits of glass recycling. Glass Recycling Is Good for the Environment A glass bottle that is sent to a landfill can take up to a million years to break down. By contrast, it takes as little as 30 days for a recycled glass bottle to leave your kitchen recycling bin and appear on a store shelf as a new glass container....

When it comes to bringing back an extinct creature, we often think first of dinosaurs. For scientists, however, the animal to return to the land of the living is not the T. rex but Mammuthus primigenius, otherwise known as the woolly mammoth. These hairy beasts went extinct some 10,000 years ago, but for much of the past decade, serious strides have been made to revive the woolly mammoth in some fashion....

Over the five years since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, numerous new techniques, materials and approaches to cleaning up oil spills have graced the pages of TreeHugger. Most likely spawned by the immense need to find a better way to clean polluted water and land than using things like chemical dispersants, these ideas started being tested and developed. Hopefully, when another disaster occurs, we’ll be better prepared so that the impact is far less severe....

As Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania prepares for its release in the MCU, head writer Jeff Loveness revealed how another bug-themed hero, Spider-Man, helped inspire the story.Ant-Man 3 will put Scott Lang on his most dangerous solo journey to date as he and his team dive into the Quantum Realm and face Kang the Conqueror for the first time. And while it’s been teased that Paul Rudd’s hero will make it out of this threequel alive and fight another day in future Avengers movies, the trailers for the movie have already proven that he’ll be put through the wringer from the jump....

Marvel Studios is preparing for a massive year of content in 2022, one which will culminate its theatrical run this November with Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Although the sequel has had an incredibly tough time with production since the beginning after the passing of star Chadwick Boseman, Marvel and Coogler appear to be back on track to make Black Panther 2 a reality this year.Without Boseman’s T’Challa, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will explore Wakanda as a whole as the mythical African nation opens its borders to the rest of the world....

Complex, compound eyes The mesh-like appearance of insect eyes is endlessly fascinating — for anyone who can stomach the macro view. So different from our own, insect eyes are compound eyes, meaning they are made up of lots of tiny components. The honeycomb-like cornea of an insect eye is made up of several lenses that all connect to the core of the eye. Just as the human brain interprets upside-down images colored by refracted light, insect brains interpret images from each of these lenses, all working together to form the larger picture of what’s in view....
