While the in-universe content is taking a hiatus for a few weeks after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, nothing is slowing down for multiple production teams bringing 2022’s massive MCU Phase 4 slate together. Fans continue to wait for more promotional material for movies and Disney+ shows coming in the latter half of the year, although set leaks and news releases help the time pass by nicely before June 11 brings the first episode of Loki....

The value of the timber you ultimately sell at harvest time is linked to the value of the products these trees can make. Normally, as the size of individual trees in a timber stand increase in height and diameter, the more valuable that stand becomes as more “product classes” become available. Trees growing into a more valuable class is what foresters call “ingrowth” and is continually happening over the life of a managed forest....

Thor: Love and Thunder is set to showcase an exciting adventure featuring Chris Hemsworth’s God of Thunder, marking the fourth solo adventure of the titular Asgardian. Directed by Taika Waititi, the upcoming sequel will also showcase familiar MCU heroes, such as the Guardians of the Galaxy, Valkyrie, Korg, and the much-talked-about comeback of Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster. In the film, Foster will transition into the Mighty Thor as she becomes worthy of the newly-reformed Mjolnir....

Spider-Man is undoubtedly the most famous character to have come out of Marvel Comics and, in many ways, Stan Lee’s ultimate legacy. As such, the character has seen more adaptations than any other Marvel hero across cartoons, games, and blockbuster franchises - three of which just came together in epic fashion for Spider-Man: No Way Home.Many fans’ relationship with the web-slinging hero stems from Tobey Maguire’s iconic two-decade-old portrayal of Spider-Man which spanned across a whole beloved trilogy....

Although forest fires are capable of killing large numbers of trees in a short amount of time, they’re not the only thread conifers face in nature — they also have to fend off poisonous insects that invade their bark, roots, and leaves, sucking the very life from them. The following list details the top five conifer-killing insects, from the bark beetles that lay eggs in the trunks of trees and stop their sap from flowing to woody adelgids....

Like magic, this lip-smacking sauce requires just four ingredients and hardly any work at all. It’s hard now to imagine a time when Italian food was not the norm in just about every kitchen in the United States. Thankfully, the goddess of Italian cooking, Marcella Hazan, changed that in the 1970s when she started giving cooking lessons in her New York City apartment and publishing recipes in the New York Times....

DC FanDome has finally arrived, and so has news about nearly every single project over the next few years concerning DC Films and DC TV. While some projects have come with endless hype and fanfare such as James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad and the Snyder Cut of Justice League, other movies have very much flown under the radar so far. One of these lower profile projects has been the sequel to 2019’s Shazam!...

Daisy Ridley is back in the Star Wars news cycle, reflecting on the sequel trilogy and even discussing a potential return as Rey Skywalker to the galaxy far, far away.Since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, Star Wars has been noticeably absent from movie theaters. The franchise instead shifted its focus to other mediums, especially television. 2023 will be no different thanks to Disney+. However, brighter days may be ahead for Lucasfilm’s theatrical slate....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars are two monumental franchises that continued to reign supreme in the box office during the past decade. Given the dominant success of the two iconic franchises, many fans have wondered if a crossover between the two could happen, but it seems unlikely due to the interconnected storytelling within them. Despite that, the MCU has consistently paid homage to Star Wars through references incorporated within their movies such as Tom Holland’s Spider-Man mention of Empire Strikes Back during Captain America: Civil War as well as the presence of a LEGO Death Star during Spider-Man: Homecoming....

A forest ecosystem is the basic ecologic unit in a particular forest that exists as “home” for a community of both native and introduced classified organisms. A forest ecosystem is named for the primary tree species that form the canopy. It is defined by all the collective living inhabitants of that forest ecosystem that co-exist together in symbiosis to create a unique ecology. In other words, a forest ecosystem is typically associated with land masses covered in trees and those trees are often classified by foresters into forest cover types....

Hawkeye is nearing its endgame, but the surprises keep on coming. The MCU series explores the aftermath of Clint Barton’s Ronin life from Avengers: Endgame alongside the superhero debut of Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop. So far, the bow-wielding duo shares an interesting dynamic as partners in crime, but it has been consistently challenged by the arrival of Maya Lopez and her Tracksuit Mafia syndicate. So far, the Disney+ series established the fact that Clint is dedicated to stopping Echo from her Ronin-related outburst while still trying to preserve his secret....

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has been in the hands of fans for several weeks now, and gamers have been enjoying their time in a brickified version of the galaxy far, far away. The game includes content from all nine episodes of the main three trilogies and roughly 300 different playable characters. Sadly, there’s one glaring omission from the cast list: Grogu, aka Baby Yoda.The twist is that he is actually technically part of the game thanks to the Mandalorian DLC....

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law may be Marvel Studios’ newest Disney+ series, but it’s also taking the time to connect back to one of the MCU’s oldest and most overlooked films: 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. Even though Marvel replaced Edward Norton with Mark Ruffalo a decade ago, the studio didn’t replace Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky. And, while his Hulk-Esque persona, Abomination, appeared in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, She-Hulk brought Tim Roth back as Emil for the first time in fourteen years....

Marvel Studios is about to unload over two dozen new movies and Disney+ shows into the world, kicking things off one month from now with the highly anticipated WandaVision on Disney+. Last week, Marvel CCO Kevin Feige used a 20-minute presentation at Disney Investor’s Day to expand the MCU even further beyond the 18 confirmed projects that were announced through the past two years. This included six new entities on Disney+ and the MCU’s first attempt at a movie surrounding Marvel’s first family with the undated Fantastic Four....

John Krasinski’s Reed Richards name-dropped “Incursion” in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness—the precursors to the end of the Multiverse. But, how Incursions occur differs significantly from the comics, which has led to the popular theory that it’s a plan by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige to destroy Morbius’ universe. For years, Sony has been attempting to crowbar its way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with little success until Spider-Man: No Way Home....

Marvel Studios is moving quickly towards the end of Phase 4, bringing some increasingly mature programming with Phase 5 and the rest of the Multiverse Saga. And for better or worse, the franchise has kept a largely PG-13 rating across its movies and TV shows, although every project has avoided one big thing - the ever coveted F-bomb. The MCU is clearly no stranger to cursing, as nearly every single theatrical movie has included a warning about language as part of its MPAA-provided PG-13 rating....

After a six-week journey, Moon Knight has finally come to an end. The final installment of the Oscar Isaac-led show delivered a satisfying conclusion to Marc Spector and Steven Grant’s journey, while also giving some standout moments to May Calamawy’s Layla. Episode 6 even answered one question on many viewers’ minds after weeks of teases, hints, and Easter eggs: is Moon Knight setting up Jake Lockley? Warning - the rest of this article contains spoilers for the season finale of Moon Knight....

Moon Knight saw great praise from critics prior to its release, and audiences appear to be in agreement. With only one episode out in the open, the premiere has teased how Egyptian mythology will play into the series. Moon Knight’s powers famously stem from the God Khonshu, but Ethan Hawke’s villainous Arthur Harrow appears to have an interest in another Egyptian legend. Harrow was shown to have a large following in his cult, which worships the Egyptian deity Ammit....

Elizabeth Olsen helped to kick off the MCU’s Phase 4 on Disney+ at the start of last year with WandaVision, her first-ever leading effort for Marvel Studios as Wanda Maximoff. Teaming up with Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness, the show became an instant success, all while setting Wanda on her path towards her movie comeback in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Hahn’s Agatha Harkness stole the show at every turn during her run in WandaVision, highlighted by her Emmy-winning musical number “Agatha All Along” in Episode 7 as she revealed herself to be the show’s main villain....

A new LEGO set for Spider-Man: No Way Home has been revealed, and it’s one MCU fans have been waiting for, with both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men included this time around.LEGO and Marvel are a good pairing—the possibilities are nearly endless.
