The concept of Ant-Man sounds rather ridiculous, and the MCU has fully leaned into that by making the shrinking hero the comedic face of the franchise. Both of the Ant-Man films are undeniably among the funniest in the MCU, largely due to the hilarious and lovable hero Scott Lang, and who could be better to bring that to life than the comedy icon Paul Rudd? Since finding fame, thanks in part to his recurring role on the hit sitcom Friends, Paul Rudd has become among the most recognizable faces in comedy....

Marvel Studios has been on a roll when it comes to their original Marvel Cinematic Universe offerings on Disney+. The Anthony Mackie & Sebastian Stan-starring Falcon and the Winter Soldier wrapped up just last weekend and delivered an action-packed finale that ended up satisfying most fans. And of course, the MCU’s second Disney+ outing arrived hot on the heels of Marvel and Disney+‘s other mega-hit streaming show, WandaVision, which was the first Marvel Studios series out of the gate....

With the recent shakeup in the upcoming schedule for the DC Extended Universe, there is no telling who could pop up in what project. While fans are disappointed to see The Flash and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom moved to 2023, one bit of good news in the new release order is Shazam! Fury of the Gods will come in December of this year. Many are hoping that Black Adam will give audiences an idea of what to expect from the Shazam!...

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law may be the debut of Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters in the MCU, but her character’s appearance isn’t necessarily the one that some fans are most excited about. Anticipation is running high for Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, to enter the fold after being showcased in several trailers for the Disney+ show, as well as being teased at the end of last week’s installment.Not much is known about his specific role, but Daredevil will don a brand-new yellow-and-red suit inspired by his classic comic look....

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is set to explore the Hulk side of the Marvel universe, allowing fans to uncover more of the history of Bruce Banner and his cousin, Jennifer Walters. There have been many lingering questions surrounding Banner ever since his MCU debut, but answering those queries has been hard due to the fact that the character hasn’t had a solo project since 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. Aside from starring in all of the Avengers movies, Mark Ruffalo’s MCU hero was also part of Thor: Ragnarok....

Excitement for Spider-Man: No Way Home is hitting all-time highs. Sony and Marvel Studios even announced a fan event in L.A. for the reveal of the film’s second trailer. It’s a strange move, that’s for sure––but this movie’s marketing has been anything but normal. The project only got its first official poster a few weeks ago, much to the rejoice of theater owners everywhere. No Way Home’s first trailer was later than usual as well....

The Star Wars fandom was ignited with speculation during the second season of The Mandalorian as the arrival of a mysterious Jedi coming to collect Grogu was teased. Social media was coated in a wide range of fan theories from outlandish picks like Mace Windu and Cal Kestis, to safer names like Ezra Bridger or Ahsoka Tano. After weeks of anticipation, the cliffhanger finale moment left fans with the return of the franchise’s original lead, Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker, de-aged to resemble his younger self....

Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is set for a thunderous return to the big screen this summer with July’s Thor: Love and Thunder, the MCU’s second movie of the year after Doctor Strange 2. The sequel will also feature the return of Jane Foster, Korg, Valkyrie, and the Guardians of the Galaxy - and that doesn’t even count the fact that the mighty hammer Mjolnir is back in action.Although the characters in Thor 4 will push the story forward more than anything else, having Mjolnir back in the fold is no small feat for the God of Thunder’s latest solo journey....

If you were to pass by them, Norway’s floating islands wouldn’t warrant a second look. By all appearances, with a surface covered in green and sprinkled with trees, they betray little of their true nature from afar. It’s only when you attempt to step on one or, as shown in the video above, view them over time, that you notice something odd. While bizarre, the phenomenon of floating islands is fairly common around the world....

The toilet is a magical trash can. Simply toss, flush, and your garbage is marvelously whooshed away to some watery subterranean netherworld, never to be seen again. Or so we like to think. In fact, such practices clog toilets, damage water treatment facilities, necessitate expensive cleanups, increase water bills, create raw sewage overflows, harm marine animals and create toxic environmental issues. With that in mind, here are the things that often end up in the sewer system — none of which have any business being there....

We often equate living in an environmentally responsible way with country living. The imagery is appealing: sun-drenched fields, tender green leaves on young fruit trees, laundry on the line, harvesting fresh chicken eggs. However, the question deserves to be examined: which is really greener, urban living, or rural living? Environmental Arguments for Rural Living Children with opportunities for ample outdoors experiences have frequent, genuine interactions with the natural world. There is some evidence that these experiences have health benefits like reduced anxiety and lower risks of myopia and obesity....

While the MCU has brought back a few characters from Marvel TV’s Defenders Saga on Netflix, Luke Cage star Mike Colter might not be the next one in line.Marvel Studios has slowly introduced a number of actors from Netflix’s Defenders Saga, most prominently with Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin. But even while their stories are confirmed to move forward, one that’s only remained in rumors has been Mike Colter as Luke Cage, even after he was seen in public reuniting with Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter in May 2022....

Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “A doctor can bury his mistakes, but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.” It turns out that his suggestion is also a good idea for creating handsome buildings. And who wants to hide an investment in green away on the roof when you can hang it out for everyone to see? Vertical gardens reduce cooling loads in summer by shading buildings; this “blanket effect” also cuts heating loads in winter, with the green layer acting as extra insulation....

Novelty architecture can take on many fantastical forms — think municipal water towers done up like peaches — but animal-shaped buildings are in a league of their own. Often built as roadside attractions meant to lure motorists off the highway, these completely functional structures serve a greater purpose than just kitschy ornamentation. Some are truly mimetic — that is, the building is representative of its original purpose be it a poultry shop, seafood restaurant or woolen clothing boutique....

Thanks to new Instagram posts, another WandaVision actor has been seen on the set of Agatha: Coven of Choas.One of the early revelations regarding casting for Agatha was that Emma Caulfield, who played Dottie in WandaVision, would be returning to the MCU with Kathryn Hahn’s upcoming Disney+ project.Not long after that, eight more actors, all of which were previously Westview citizens, were announced to be making a return: David Peyton, David Lengel, Asif Ali, Amos Glick, Brian Brightman, Kate Forbes, and Debra Jo Rupp....

As a student, I spent a year living in Copenhagen. And I was amazed by how many people used cargo bikes as their primary source of transportation. From carting kids to school, to hauling groceries, to giving drunk friends a ride from the bar—heavy-duty load-carrying bikes were just another form of transportation for the people of this beautiful city. Could it be that the rest of the world is finally catching on to the potential of cargo bikes too?...

The wings of butterflies are delicate, beautiful works of nature. The genes responsible for creating such stirring patterns and colors have been shrouded in mystery, but thanks to two new studies, we’ve discovered that it’s really two genes creating these masterpieces. That’s right. Two. There are two genetic da Vincis that do most of the work on the canvases that are butterflies’ wings. These two genes are in fact so important to butterflies’ distinct colors, that if you were to turn off the two genes, the colors become either duller or simply monochromatic....

Sometimes synergy in Marvel Comics with the MCU can indicate what Marvel Studios might intend to do with some characters. One example was Monica Rambeau’s superhero name suddenly changing back to Photon in the comics.This is a change that was obviously made in anticipation of Monica having that alias in The Marvels as opposed to Spectrum. It certainly makes sense with Photon having been Maria Rambeau’s callsign as a pilot, so Monica using it to honor her mother would make sense....

Over the years, there have been numerous attempts at building a live-action Marvel universe between the MCU, Sony’s Spider-Man world, and Fox’s X-Men universe. Between the endless big-screen franchises and many TV spin-offs, the number of actors who have played a Marvel role has grown exponentially in recent years, as every star in Hollywood wants to be involved with a superhero project. While blockbuster franchises like the Marvel and DC universes may have begun on the big-screen, the growing world of streaming has led to an increasing push for TV content across Disney+, HBO Max, and more....

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have long awaited the arrival of the X-Men. In fact, at one point, it was a pipe dream—a near impossibility. But then Disney went and purchased Fox. Entire worlds opened up, and the storytelling potential for the MCU was hard to comprehend. But when would audiences worldwide get to see the first mutant project? Little did everyone know how Marvel Studios would pull a fast one and revive X-Men: The Animated Series as its first official project concerning the Mutants....
