Marvel Studios’ president Kevin Feige admitted to being in a state of worry over the pandemic’s impact on the MCU’s movies.When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, just about everyone and everything was entirely upended. With much of the planet’s population rendered unable to go anywhere, recreational activities such as going to the movies took a nosedive.And Marvel was certainly not exempt from this drop-off. 2020 was the first year in over a decade that the blockbuster studio didn’t release any new MCU content, leaving much of its slate pushed back on the calendar....

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ended with a full-blown transformation for Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson into the MCU’s new Captain America. The newly crowned Star-Spangled Avenger is expected to be a key player in Phase 4 and beyond, and this was further cemented when reports about Captain America 4 emerged online. The exact plot details of the movie are still being kept under wraps, but it’s reasonable to assume that it will pick up from lingering storylines in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier....

The National Wildlife Refuge Service is the world’s largest collection of protected areas dedicated to wildlife preservation, more than 150 million acres of strategically located wildlife habitat protecting thousands of species. There are wildlife refuges in all 50 states and U.S. territories, and most major U.S. cities are no more than an hour’s drive from at least one wildlife refuge. But how did this system of wildlife preservation begin? What was America’s first national wildlife refuge?...

One of the biggest moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe last year was undoubtedly when Sam Wilson finally took on the shield and became Captain America.

The big choice came in the finale of the show, and it’s there that his new mantle and Cap outfit debuted....

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law had an exciting first episode that was jam-packed with MCU Easter eggs. The hit Marvel series introduced Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters while also revealing what happened to Mark Ruffalo’s Smart Hulk after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Amid all the references, there were also several mysteries that the installment featured, and one of them revolved around a spaceship from Sakaar. Marvel Studios Warning - The rest of this article contains spoilers for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Episode 2....

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has come to an end (for now). The super-powered streaming comedy introduced audiences to a different type of MCU story, playing much more like TV comedies akin to The Office or Ally McBeal than the typical Marvel fare. This departure saw a creative fourth wall-breaking finale in which Tatiana Maslany’s titular hero broke reality, ventured into the real world, and came face-to-face with the mind behind the MCU, an all-knowing AI named KEVIN....

Star Wars Day is upon us. The once-in-a-year extravaganza is filled with exciting treats from Lucasfilm, but the biggest one might be the premiere of Star Wars: The Bad Batch on Disney+. The Clone Wars spinoff has been generating buzz online, and most of the reactions are overwhelmingly positive. While a good chunk of the attention is focused on The Bad Batch, Star Wars Day would not be complete without the participation of franchise mainstays, ranging from the actors all the way to the directors....

The much-anticipated premiere of the second season of The Mandalorian is around the corner, and the hype surrounding it has elevated as it inches closer. A good amount of teasers and posters have already been released leading up to the second season premiere of the Emmy-winning Star Wars show, but it still managed to keep the surprises intact. This has led fans to speculate on how rumored Star Wars characters, such as Ahsoka Tano and Boba Fett, will fit into the next season’s storyline....

As the release date for the DCEU’s newest film, The Suicide Squad, comes ever closer, more and more is revealed about the film. Recent clips have shown off new footage of certain characters, including the ever-popular Harley Quinn and the relatively terse King Shark. Interviews with the movie’s writer and director, James Gunn, also hint at its connections with the larger DCEU. Characters from the film’s spinoff series, Peacemaker (which is also written and directed by Gunn) will apparently reappear in the franchise’s future....

Tom Hiddleston has been an MCU veteran for 11 years, after starting his journey as Loki during 2011’s Thor. While fans are busy discussing his Marvel career, other topics such as his dating life have made headlines over the years. From Taylor Swift to Jessica Chastain, Hiddleston has a long list of celebrities in his dating history. In 2020, it was reported that Hiddleston is romantically connected with actress Zawe Ashton, although reports suggest that the pair prefers to stay quiet about their relationship....

The archetypal “great journey” has its modern counterpart in the road trip, where adventure-seekers hit the road in the search of something else. Of course, there’s more than one way to go on a road trip – some do it only with their feet, others with a car or a van, while others may go whole-hog with a big RV, a custom-made teardrop, or a renovated vintage camper. But for those who like the simplicity of travelling only by car, it can get rough sleeping in the back....

Harley Quinn is all the rage these days, and for good reason. She’s a fantastic addition to DC Comics; character library and just plain fun to follow on adventures. Thanks to Margot Robbie’s take on Quinn, her popularity has skyrocketed. But those live-action appearances aren’t the only Harley projects worthy of attention; fans should probably make sure her HBO Max animated show is on their radars. The series is getting ready to launch its third season later in July, and a newly released trailer promises plenty of mischief....

When Black Panther was first released in 2018, the movie was nothing short of a cultural phenomenon. People loved the film; the world it created, heroes it introduced, and villains it explored.

The categories in which Black Panther won included Best Costume, Best Production Design, and Best Original Score....

The Federal Government no longer wants these obsolete lighthouses in the Florida Keys – so they’re giving them away. Alright, folks, it’s time to ignite the brain’s Escape Fantasy sector and start daydreaming about owning a little bit of history, because the government is giving away lighthouses again. Thanks to the brilliant National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000, the country’s obsolete lighthouses do not go gentle into that good night....

2023 will bring the start of Phase 5 of the MCU with director Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, one of the franchise’s most pivotal movies since the Infinity Saga ended. Quantumania takes Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang and Evangeline Lilly’s Hope Van Dyne deep into the Quantum Realm, allowing them to learn more about it after Scott used the realm to save half of humanity in Avengers: Endgame. Although there are exciting new developments such as Scott Lang’s upgraded Ant-Man suit and the introduction of Cassie Lang as a hero, the team will be up against its toughest foe yet in Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror....

With The Falcon and the Winter Soldier so close to its March 19 release on Disney+, the hype for the upcoming series is at an all-time high. After playing supporting roles and starring in brief cameos, the second MCU show will redefine the characters of Sam and Bucky according to director Kari Skogland. More character development will be achieved through the series providing a bit more breathing room, as evidenced by the potential runtime for each of the episodes....

The CW’s Arrow ended after eight seasons back in early 2020. The series finale, however, set up several plot points that, for one reason or another, were destined not to really go anywhere. Most notable among them: Oliver Queen’s best friend and trusted confidante John Diggle opening a mysterious, green-glowing box that hurtled down to Earth from the cosmos. This was clearly intended to contain a Green Lantern ring in a tease that could be expanded upon in a future Arrowverse episode....

I came across this video the other day that demonstrates how to create a natural non-stick surface on the grill. It’s really simple. Cut a potato in half and rub the flesh on a hot grate of the grill. The starch from the potato creates a non-stick surface. I gave the method a test with tilapia filets. After the coals were good and hot, I put the grate on top, closed the lid, and let it sit for 10 minutes to heat the grate....

While the Marvel Cinematic Universe is finally finding its footing in episodic content with Marvel Studios’ Phase Four Disney+ series, it’s safe to say the universe has had a rocky relationship with the TV world in the past. Following the success of The Avengers, Marvel opted to expand its popular live-action universe to TV in Agents of SHIELD, a series that would star Clark Gregg’s Phil Coulson, tying directly to the events of the films....

Following encounters with villains like Lee Pace’s Ronan the Accuser, Kurt Russell’s Ego the Living Planet, and Josh Brolin’s Thanos, the Guardians will have another tough battle ahead of them this time around....
