However, the extent of his role in the show has been left for fans to speculate.In The Direct’s interview with head writer Jessica Gao, Gao said this Murdock would explore “a lighter side” to the character compared to early iterations....

How small is too small? We show a lot of tiny houses on TreeHugger, and recently showed some tiny apartments for rent in London, part of the co-living trend. Commenters were not impressed, thinking it barely acceptable for temporary living. But in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a developer is selling 10 square meter (107 SF) apartments with everything you need (except room to swing a cat) built in. Being a condo, it is definitely more of a long-term thing....

In a totally scientific survey of whether or not young people want to own cars,Globe and Mail columnist Jeremy Cato notes that his son adores his truck and calls her Jenny. He concludes that the only reason kids aren’t driving is that they are broke. And he says that we shouldn’t go by the anecdotes, there’s research: © The AtlanticAnd indeed, as this General Motors data shown on the Atlantic demonstrates, there was a big dip in the recession, and there is a recovery since....

Thanks to Marvel Studios’ presentations at San Diego Comic-Con and the D23 Fan Expo, MCU fans are eagerly anticipating the debut of Thunderbolts, the final movie in Phase 5.This new outing will serve as the next Phase’s team-up movie instead of an Avengers-centric outing, throwing darker characters from all across the MCU timeline into play alongside one another. Leading the way in this effort will be Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, a breakout star from Phase 4, although she’ll also have key veterans like Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier and Wyatt Russell’s U....

James Gunn is in the early stages of his tenure as the co-CEO of DC Studios, but he’s already addressed fan campaigns for projects like the Arrowverse and Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad within the DCU.Following his appointment to the highly-coveted leadership position for Warner Bros., Gunn now has the intense responsibility of mapping out the DCU’s extensive future. But while he has every intention of looking forward to new frontiers, there are a couple of lingering projects from the past that still have fans deep in discussion....

Finding ways to integrate the fantastical and godlike heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a crown jewel of Marvel Studios storytelling. Characters like Thor, Loki, and the Eternals have all become parts of the everyday lives in MCU-616. Having characters like this being a part of the in-world lexicon has expanded the opportunities for one of the superhero movie genre’s greatest assets… Easter eggs. After nearly 15 years of movies and streaming series, the MCU has created lore that runs as deep as any movie franchise....

While Star Wars fans witness the glorious return of the Mandalorian in The Book of Boba Fett, Mando’s own story is set to continue in Season 3 of The Mandalorian later this year. Even though Mando wasn’t meant to be the focus of the Temuera Morrison-led Disney+ series, the galaxy’s favorite bounty hunter and foster father’s situation changed considerably in Lucasfilm’s recent Disney+ series, positioning him for a whole new quest....

Imagine taking a walk in the woods and seeing a deer or a rabbit. You’ll no doubt remember the encounter — it might even be the highlight of your outdoor adventure. But what about all the plants, trees and flowers you passed while hiking? There’s a good chance you paid little attention to the greenery on your path. That’s what researchers call plant blindness. In 1998, U.S. botanists Elisabeth Schussler and James Wandersee defined plant blindness as “the inability to see or notice the plants in one’s own environment,” which leads to “the inability to recognize the importance of plants in the biosphere and in human affairs....

Wood construction of big buildings is catching on just about everywhere for good reasons: wood is renewable. In construction it is light, fast and less expensive than other materials. It’s also just as safe- when it is finished. However, every time there is a major fire in a wood framed building, the steel and concrete people come out and dance in the ashes and try and convince everyone that wood construction is inherently dangerous....

There’s something to be said for a stereotypical Thanksgiving experience: a big meal with family, some football on TV, maybe a little bit of shopping after the turkey wears off. But what about taking advantage of the long holiday weekend to travel? Whether you want to make a family trip an annual Thanksgiving tradition or you just want to do something different this year, there are plenty of places that are great destinations for the holiday....

No autumn is complete without seeing the changing of the leaves. And sure, not everyone lives in a climate where the fall colors are mesmerizing, but that’s why road trips were invented! Even if you live in a place that boasts exceptional autumnal hues, a road trip is the best way to experience this special season. That’s because some of the best places to go leaf peeping are not so much “destinations” as they are “journeys....

It’s been nearly six years since Benedict Cumberbatch debuted as Doctor Stephen Strange. 2016’s Doctor Strange seems like just a touchstone of the master magician’s impact on the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe. Cumberbatch has appeared as Marvel’s premiere wizard three times since his first and only solo venture: Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. At long last, a proper sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, hits theaters (exclusively) on May 6....

Marvel Studios is in the fast lane to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The sequel’s marketing campaign officially kicked off in the post-credits of Spider-Man: No Way Home, and has only surged since. Doctor Strange 2 dropped its official trailer during this year’s Super Bowl to thunderous applause, and ticket pre-sales already have the film on track for a incredible opening weekend. With Disney+‘s Moon Knight entering its mid-season this Wednesday, Marvel Studios has turned up the dial on its theatrical marketing....

Director Andy Muschietti confirmed in January 2020 that while The Flash will base its plot on the iconic “Flashpoint” storyline from the comics, it will be a “different version of Flashpoint than you’re expecting." One key difference from the source material is that Thomas Wayne will not appear in a supporting role like the original story. Instead, Ezra Miller’s Flash will get help from Michael Keaton’s Batman. In July 2021, set photos emerged from The Flash’s London shoot that showed Ezra Miller performing a scene as Barry Allen alongside an apparent doppelganger....

The additional filming for Zack Snyder’s Justice League will likely be finished soon, but there is seemingly a lot to cover in what is reportedly just a week of shooting. The biggest surprise is the return of Jared Leto’s Joker, who was reportedly not too happy about his treatment by Warner Bros. and essentially being replaced by Joaquin Phoenix. Another surprise, due to the controversy surrounding her, was Amber Heard returning as Mera, likely to do pickups for the short scene she had with Jason Momoa’s Aquaman....

This term is meant to include all people striving to reduce consumption of animal products. The first-ever Reducetarian Summit took place in Manhattan last weekend. Speakers and visitors from around the world came together to talk about the importance of reducing societal meat consumption and implementing effective strategies to make it happen. The term ‘reducetarian’ was coined by Brian Kateman, an energetic young New Yorker who spent years advocating for recycling, composting, and other environmentally-friendly practices before realizing that reducing meat consumption was the single most effective action he could take to help the climate....

Undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films heading into Phase 5 of the MCU is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Fans at San Diego Comic-Con were treated to a first look at writer and director James Gunn’s third and final Guardians film; and just as the cast has been suggesting all along, it’s going to be an emotional ride.Even though Guardians is often regarded as one of Marvel’s more colorful and comedic properties, the reason why this rag-tag crew has resonated with audiences for so long is their heart and humanity....

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is one of the most important and successful producers in all of cinema’s century-long history. So what makes him so damn good at what he does?It all started back in 2008 with Iron Man, and after 39 projects, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still going strong. In that same time frame, Warner Bros. had failed multiple attempts to start their own respectable interconnected superhero universe with DC, Universal Picture’s Dark Universe was canned, and Sony has been limping through its attempts to profit off of Spider-Man supporting characters....
