Considering the ending of Avengers: Endgame, fans were expecting at least some members of the Guardians of the Galaxy to be included in Thor: Love and Thunder. However, few would’ve predicted the film to be a full-blown crossover between the two franchises, just as insiders are describing it as having “an Avengers 5 feel.” It’s likely that Chris Pratt will have a more substantial role in the movie beyond a cameo, so the rivalry between Star-Lord and Thor is set to continue....

One of Marvel’s neatest gimmicks over the many decades is easily their What If..? comic series, which started all the way back in 1977. The very first issue focused on “What If Spider-Man had joined the Fantastic Four?” — rather simple idea which paved the way for the many crazy storylines to come down the line. So it was a pleasant surprise when Marvel announced that they would be doing an adaptation of that very idea on Disney+....
With Black Adam’s future up in the air at DC, Dwayne Johnson called out reports saying he had failed to pitch a future for his DC Universe (DCU)hero. Johnson’s long-gestating blockbuster, Black Adam, came and went last Fall with little-to-no fanfare. The project only managed to make just under $400 million in its first seven weeks at the box office (a mark that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hit in only two weeks), coming in much lower than the studio was hoping financially....

The ground-breaking success of The Mandalorian on Disney+ has catapulted the world of Star Wars to the forefront of pop culture in a way the sequel trilogy struggled to do. Din Djarin’s action-packed adventures across the galaxy with Baby Yoda have seen the duo bump into plenty of familiar faces from the wider world including Bo-Katan Kryze, Boba Fett, and Ahsoka Tano, some of which have already spawned spin-offs.

In July 1938, some 11 years after first starting work on Mount Rushmore, artist and sculptor Gutzon Borglum shifted attention to a critical detail of the monument that neither he nor the American public would ever see completed. In a canyon concealed behind the massive heads of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt, Borglum instructed workers to start cutting a vault into the solid granite walls. Measuring 18-feet tall, this opening would serve as the entrance to Borglum’s “Hall of Records,” a repository intended to not only tell the story of the monument, but serve as an everlasting time capsule for some of American history....
While Nicolas Cage has an appreciation for science fiction, the actor claims he has no interest in joining the Star Wars Universe. This confession stemmed from reports that The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal - who starred alongside Cage in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - wants the actor to join that galaxy far, far away. But surprisingly, Cage’s resistance has nothing to do with it being a major tentpole or even prior obligations....

During the dogs’ stay, kennel staff mixed up the animals’ medications, which landed Lola in the hospital with acute kidney failure. She died nine months later. The Monyaks sued, but under the law, dogs are considered property, and the kennel claimed that Lola had “no fair market value” because she was a rescue dog that was adopted for free....
Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man 3 is one of the most anticipated movies this year, much in part due to the fact that the film will explore the MCU’s multiverse in a surprising way. In the past months, numerous reports have emerged about the growing cast of the threequel, and the majority of the actors that were rumored to join the MCU film were from previous Spider-Man movies like Jamie Foxx’s Electro from the Amazing Spider-Man movies and Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy....

Starbucks recently announced a Global Greener Stores commitment, and will design, build and operate 10,000 greener stores by 2025. © Starbucks There are many nice things about this pledge, including the drive for energy efficiency, water stewardship, the use of renewable energy, and responsible materials.

Donating your old, unwanted clothes is a great way to give back to your community while cleaning out your closet. It’s a satisfying feeling knowing that you’ve made a positive impact, providing people with clothes who might not otherwise be able to afford them. When you drop off that bag of old clothes at your local Goodwill, though, there’s probably one thing you aren’t thinking about: those clothes don’t always go to those who need them — or to anyone at all....
