Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man lost his life to defeat Thanos; Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow made the ultimate sacrifice to obtain the Soul Stone; Chris Evans’ Captain America took early retirement with Peggy Carter in the 1940s, bringing his heroic career to a peaceful end. Evans has been open about his willingness to return to the MCU for the right project, and there have already been mumblings about a deal being in the works....

The Doctor Strange follow-up has been six years in the making with comic book movie vet Sam Raimi sitting in the director’s chair.

The Avengers blockbusters have always proven to be the MCU’s biggest box office record-breakers, but Spider-Man: No Way Home was recently able to set its own standard, even during the pandemic. With four months passed since the Spidey flick shattered the box office, the MCU is moving ever closer to its next Multiverse event: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. With Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange and Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch coming back, having shot to MCU stardom in recent years, Multiverse of Madness is leading its charge with two of the most popular Avengers....

New research confirms what goat lovers already know; goats are smart and have the capacity for complex communication with people. I always knew there was something special about goats. I mean, beyond their intelligence and charming curiosity and propensity to prance about and balance on precarious towers and climb trees. I figured it was just a little narcissistic attachment due to my Capricorn star-sign status, but as it turns out, there really is more to goats than meets the eye....

Being a Marvel superhero is a tall task, but staying one for over a decade is a near-herculean effort. This has been and continues to be the case when it comes to Chris Hemsworth aka Marvel Studios’ Thor. The actor has had to maintain a god-like physique for more than ten years at this point with a brief dad bod detour for Avengers: Endgame, something that can be exhausting. While the actor’s latest effort as the God of Thunder has just hit Disney+, some are wondering if he is up for coming back for a potential Thor 5....

Jack Russell terriers have been getting plenty of attention lately, thanks to a scene-stealing pooch named Uggie, who starred in Oscar-nominated film “The Artist” as well as “Water for Elephants.” In preparation for the annual Westminster parade of dogs, we offer a little background on a popular and precocious breed. Background An avid huntsman named the Rev. John Russell is credited with introducing this pint-size breed to southern England during the mid-1800s....

After multiple delays, Morbius, Sony’s latest addition to its Spider-Man Universe, has finally arrived in theaters. Whether fans wish it had is another question. While audiences have their issues with the film’s plot and quality, much of the outcry stems from the film’s misleading promotional campaign and the use of Michael Keaton’s Vulture from Spider-Man: Homecoming. Following Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Morbius was intended to be the third installment in Sony’s MCU adjacent Spider-Man Universe....

The use of music has always been important to the MCU, both through its inclusion of powerful orchestral melodies and the latest pop hits. Ms. Marvel’s premiere episode took advantage of one recent pop banger to open the series with The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights,” which played while Kamala Khan recounted the events of Avengers: Endgame. Black Panther featured a particularly memorable musical suite as it included both an orchestral score by Ludwig Göransson and a soundtrack of original hits from rap legend Kendrick Lamar - including the chart-topping “All the Stars....

For decades, Scarlet Witch had been a Mutant in Marvel Comics, meaning that prior to Disney’s acquisition of Fox, including her in the MCU should have been off-limits, right? No, due to her overlapping connections between the Avengers and X-Men, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver could be introduced to the MCU in Avengers: Age of Ultron, devoid of their Mutant origins. ADVERTISEMENT Since then, Wanda has been on a complicated MCU journey that has seen her become an Avenger, the catalyst for the Sokovia Accords, and the wife of Vision....

Spider-Man: No Way Home has quickly become one of the biggest films of all time. Tom Holland’s new adventure as the famous web-slinger landed with immense praise from critics and fans alike. The project also saw the return of several older faces, including Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock, Jamie Foxx’s Electro, Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker, and many more. Amongst them are also Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin. His performance is one that many have touted to be Oscar-worthy, but does the actor even stand a chance at being nominated?...

Since October, it has been rumored that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would be appearing in Spider-Man 3 alongside Tom Holland. It would certainly make sense with Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange being involved. This rumor persisted and even grew stronger with new reports saying Andrew Garfield had signed on with Marvel Studios and Sony attempting to convenience Tobey Maguire. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, when asked directly about this rumor in an interview, didn’t take the chance to refute it, saying that denying rumors “would take all the fun out of everything....

Following the success of The Mandalorian on Disney+, Star Wars fans are on the verge of a bounty of new content that, interestingly enough, involves old fan-favorite characters. Before Lucasfilm brought back Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader in Obi-Wan Kenobi, the studio revived the mysterious original trilogy bounty hunter, Boba Fett; and with him, generations of legends and expectations also returned to everyone’s minds. While he technically made his debut in the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special, Boba Fett made his theatrical debut in The Empire Strikes Back as a mercenary of few words and an apparent reputation....

Star Wars’ presence on Disney+ continues to expand, even if slightly slower than its MCU counterpart. After two fantastic seasons of The Mandalorian, shows have branched off into spin-offs like The Book of Boba Fett and all new series like Obi-Wan Kenobi and the upcoming Andor. One series that has slipped through the cracks a bit so far is Skeleton Crew, which is set to star Jude Law.Skeleton Crew, like The Mandalorian and its spin-offs, will be set in the post-Return of the Jedi era....

May the 4th, also known as Star Wars Day, marks a full year since the final season of The Clone Wars animated series aired on Disney+. But for fans of The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and Lucasfilm Animation in general, Star Wars animation is back with a whole new series — Star Wars: The Bad Batch! This new series focuses on Clone Force 99, an elite group of clones that fans were first introduced to in Season 7 of The Clone Wars, as they navigate the post-war and post-Republic galaxy....

Update: Read the comments. I have learned a lot from them. It makes a lot of sense to put a supercharger at the end of the universe. As this tweeter notes: Killing time with the dog in the parking lot in Huntsville, Ontario, I had a close look at the Tesla Supercharging station, and wondered about its existence in this little town on the Canadian Shield (3,000,000 square miles of rock where “human population is sparse, and industrial development is minimal”)....

Thor: Love and Thunder will continue the recent Marvel Studios pattern of uniting franchise characters in one hero’s solo sequel. Fans most recently saw this with the integration of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The trend will continue next month, as Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch stars opposite Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Thor franchise is no stranger to this method either. After the first two installments featured Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye and Chris Evans’ Captain America in cameo roles, Thor: Ragnarok welcomed Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk to the ensemble as a top-billed supporting star....
