It seems like Charlie Cox spoke too soon when he said that he’d be replaced if Daredevil appeared in Spider-Man 3. However, fans held onto hope for a return, especially after the release of news about Jamie Foxx returning as Electro despite already having played him in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. When the character rights to Matthew Murdock finally returned to Marvel Studios two years ago to the day of the cancelation of the Daredevil Netflix series, fans became even more embolden and crying out for Marvel Studios to #SaveDaredevil....

From the archives: Updated September 20, 2019 You’ve probably noticed that green is everywhere these days – in the news, politics, fashion, and even technology. That’s all great as far as we’re concerned, but with a million messages and ideas coming at us from all sides, it can be easy to get caught up in the quotidian stuff – ditching single-use plastics, turning down the thermostat, recycling, say – without thinking about the big picture of how your actions stack up....

A new map reveals startling statistics, like that 80% of North Americans can no longer see the Milky Way. Imagine a world without stars. To ponder the twinkling sky is a pleasure humans have had ever since we’ve been able to tilt our heads back and look towards the heavens. But it’s a pleasure we’re at risk of losing; and in fact, for many it’s already gone. The Impact of Light Pollution The problem of light pollution – defined as the man-made alteration of night lighting levels – is a glaring one....

Phil and Pam/CC BY 2.0 I’m not great at planning. I’ll confess that up front. I am very much one of those “eh, let’s try it and see what happens!” type of people. But when it comes to growing a productive, attractive garden, planning is essential. It helps you with everything from figuring out which seeds to order to deciding if you can really afford the space that growing 15 varieties of heirloom tomatoes would require....

Thunderstorms and politicians are a lot alike: Both drift with the wind, both are full of hot air and both shy away from high pressure. And, fair or not, many people judge both by their faces. While politicians grin for votes, though, storms glower over their constituents. Some even grow strange “shelf clouds” along their leading edges, like the one pictured here over Enschede, Netherlands. These cloudy countenances stretch out ahead of a storm, sometimes foreshadowing danger and sometimes just grandstanding....

Although the MCU’s immediate future is more than promising, the franchise’s later movies are also moving further along in the development process. Included in that mix is Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3, the MCU’s first confirmed R-Rated project centered around the fan-favorite Merc with a Mouth. The new Deadpool movie recently found its director in Free Guy’s Shawn Levy, hopefully indicating more confirmed information will be on the way soon. One of the biggest questions surrounding the movie is the cast that will surround Reynolds, as Deadpool now finds himself in the same universe as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes....

Henry Cavill may be the DCEU’s Superman, but he hasn’t actually been seen in the role since 2017’s Justice League—not including Zack Snyder’s cut of the same movie four years later. No one quite knows why Cavill hasn’t been seen in the role since then, since the actor himself has made it clear that he’s more than up for a return. Oddly enough, his character has been seen on-screen twice since Cavill last got in front of the camera as Superman....

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has been deep in development this summer. After reworking the screenplay in the wake of the late Chadwick Boseman’s passing, production on the second installment kicked off in late June. Details from Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia have been kept under wraps (or underwater, if you will), but filming ventures in Massachusetts have unearthed numerous details surrounding the sequel. Ahead of filming at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed the long-running rumor that Dominique Thorne would make her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as Riri Williams in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever before she gets the solo spotlight in her Ironheart Disney+ series....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to embark on its biggest year yet in 2021, bringing ten new projects to the big screen as well as the Disney+ streaming services. While nine of them are the classic live-action adventures fans have come to know and love, Marvel Studios will take a chance in the world of animation as well with the Disney+ series What If…?. This show will explore what could have been in the MCU if small details were changed....

At this moment, only the writing team of Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin is confirmed for the film. The Molyneux sisters are well known for their work on Bob’s Burgers. Besides Reynolds’ returning to the role and the Molyneux sisters penning the script, no one else is attached to the film. This leaves a gaping hole for the director, but a familiar face to the Deadpool franchise has just shown interest in the project....

Black Adam shook the DCEU when it finally unveiled Henry Cavill’s comeback as Superman in its game-changing mid-credits scene. The character’s return comes after Dwayne Johnson’s heavy teases about Superman’s presence alongside the actual scene being leaked that made Black Adam’s producer frustrated. Following a successful opening weekend, Cavill officially announced his Superman return on social media, with him confirming that his Black Adam appearance is just the beginning. Looking ahead, Johnson opened up about Black Adam and Superman’s DCEU future....

The Fantastic Four reboot is among Marvel Studios’ most anticipated projects. After having had multiple no-so-great adaptations, fans are hoping that the MCU can finally get the family right.At San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced the project would be the official kickoff to Phase 6. Not long after that, Matt Shakman, of WandaVision fame, jumped aboard as the film’s director.But what about the cast? Sadly, there’s still no official word on the matter....

While Dave Bautista’s time playing Drax in the MCU is nearing its end, Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn may have a job lined up for the actor in the new DC Universe (DCU).The current version of the Guardians team will enjoy their final run as a unit in this summer’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 before James Gunn leaves Marvel for his new position as co-CEO of DC Studios....

One of the biggest challenges for dog owners can be how to help all the dogs in a home get along. This is a situation especially important when introducing a new dog as a family member because, just like with people, first impressions can make or break a happy friendship. We’ve asked Erin Kramer, a Sacramento, Calif.-based professionally certified dog trainer, instructor, and canine behavior modification specialist for her advice. From working with service and therapy dogs, to training police K9s, to training and handling dogs for TV and film, Kramer has a wealth of experience in many different areas of dog training — and that includes how to introduce dogs to a new home where other dogs are already living....

It’s hard not to be in awe of an octopus. Not only is it one of Earth’s smartest invertebrates, but it seems like it’s from another planet. It has psychedelic skin, shape-shifting skills and eight arms that hold two-thirds of its neurons. A wild octopus uses its diffuse, alien brain to find prey and evade predators. In captivity, it wows humans by solving mazes, using tools, escaping tanks and taking photos of us....

With all the Marvel content set to release in the near future, some other projects have been getting a bit less attention. As of now, fans know very little about Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, even as it seems set to explore some huge elements of the MCU. Kang the Conqueror, an extremely consequential figure from the comics, is confirmed to play a role in the film. This inclusion seems to hint towards another time-travel-based adventure, likely playing out in relation to the Quantum Realm....

Marvel Studios is in the final stages of preparation for its latest theatrical release, which will come with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in theaters worldwide. Taking a deep look at the MCU’s earliest days while bringing in Simu Liu as the titular Master of Martial Arts, Shang-Chi has the opportunity to add an exciting new chapter to the MCU’s ever-expanding narrative. 2021 has been a particularly difficult year for the MCU even with its biggest slate of releases ever, thanks to the troubles behind releasing movies in theaters and all the delays that have come with it....

Before the overwhelming success of Spider-Man: No Way Home in theaters, the film actually had a rough time. How so? Well, it felt impossible for Tom Holland’s next adventure as Spidey to keep all of its secrets behind closed doors. Every week, there seemed to be a new leak out in the wild, which was fueled by a lack of marketing and communication about the project from Sony––at least in the minds of many fans....

Heading into the Star Wars prequel films, everyone who had seen the original trilogy knew that Anakin Skywalker would ultimately turn to the dark side and become Darth Vader. The point of the prequel trilogy was to show the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker to become the infamous Sith Lord. A lot of background was given to established characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Emporer Palpatine, and Yoda. The fall of the Jedi Order and the rise of The Galactic Empire culminated in Palpatine’s command to “Execute Order 66” which turned once-ally clones against the Jedi....

Star Wars video games were in a funk for a good stretch of time. When the franchise’s gaming potential was under the sole care of EA Games, for a while, the company’s only releases were Battlefront and Battlefront 2, both of which landed to a mediocre reaction—even if the latter improved over time. But then came Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which quickly became lauded as one of the best games in the entire IP....
