The runtime for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a first for the MCU’s Ant-Man franchise. But that’s not the only way Ant-Man 3 is breaking the mold. Starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, and newcomer Kathyrn Newton as Cassie Lang, Quantumania isn’t just launching Phase 5 of the MCU but also ushering in the Multiverse Saga’s big bad, Kang the Conqueror. For such a different and high-stakes film, it makes sense for its length to be a departure as well....

Black Panther 2 star Winston Duke shut down reports that Letitia Wright taking an anti-vax stance caused issues on the MCU film’s set. These controversial reports started popping up when Wakanda Forever was deep into production late last year after word started to come out that Wright had refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine. This led to rumors of Marvel supposedly parting ways with the star (something that has been proven false) and the studio reportedly “[changing] the ending” to the Black Panther sequel....

Have you ever been told your child is spoiled? I have, once, by a relative I consider a friend. It stung. At the time I told myself her perspective was just skewed; she had three kids, I had only one, so of course it looked like my (then) only child was getting more attention and resources. But as I reflect on her comment through the lens of my kid’s behavior today, sometimes I think she may have been right....

Even though Marvel Studios is more than a year into its Phase 4 story, Steve Rogers’ Captain America still looms large over the MCU.

The “Asgardians of the Galaxy” is truly one of the most exciting notions of the MCU’s Phase 4. When Thor left Earth with the Guardians of the Galaxy at the end of Avengers: Endgame, fans were as thrilled as they were puzzled.

But an R-rated superhero flick isn’t the only thing that drove fans to see the movie; Deadpool has been a comic fan-favorite for decades.
