The Dwyane Johnson-led movie is confirmed to dawn a “new era” of the DCEU, noting that it will “start the pendulum swing” in the franchise.Aside from its impact on the larger DC universe, one of the main topics of conversation surrounding Black Adam is the titular anti-hero’s morality. The first trailer didn’t pull any punches as it showcased Teth Adam killing people, indicating that the character is not holding back....

Photo via The Guardian Earthquakes, like the one that struck in Christchurch, New Zealand yesterday, rank among the most devastating natural disasters, capable of leveling cities and causing extensive loss of life – largely because they are so unpredictable. On Sunday, however, less than 48 hours before the quake, 107 pilot whales beached themselves and died along the nation’s shores, a phenomenon that biologists have yet to fully understand. The proximity of the two events, in both time and location, have sent the Web in a frenzy over whether they are related – and whether strandings can provide precious foresight before disaster strikes....

The Guardians of the Galaxy have always operated as an ensemble, but each member has plenty of solo potential. They may be a team, but they all came from different backgrounds. Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill had his backstory explored through his one-on-one time with his father, Kurt Russell’s Ego the Living Planet, during Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Zoe Saldana’s Gamora had her own flashbacks alongside her similarly problematic pops in Avengers: Infinity War....

Superman. One of DC’s strongest and most powerful characters, full stop. An enduring presence in just about every type of media, from cartoons to comics to movies. And yet, Clark hasn’t had a solo film since 2013 and Warner Bros. has seemed content to disregard the fervent calls for actor Henry Cavill’s return as the character.With Dwayne Johnson hyping up his new-to-the-DCEU character Black Adam, a being that will apparently bring a shift in the DC hierarchy of power, fans have been speculating left and right on whether or not Adam will duke it out with Superman....

With reporting by Manon Verchot How we light up the places we live and work makes a big impact on how we feel. It also makes a big impact on the environment. The kind of bulbs, the kind of fixtures, the kind of power, and the habits we keep can all add up to a very significant greening. Start with the fact that a conventional incandescent bulb turns only around five to ten percent of its consumed energy into light, the rest goes out as heat....

All throughout the summer of 2020, DCEU director Zack Snyder gave a great deal of teases to fans after the announcement that the Snyder Cut of Justice League would arrive on HBO Max in 2021.

Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: No Way Home remains as popular as ever after its physical and digital home release, largely thanks to its ties to both previous live-action wall-crawler universes. With Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and a handful of their villains crossing over into the MCU, No Way Home became arguably the biggest solo hero crossover event Marvel’s ever delivered. While the Multiversal elements of No Way Home were certainly the headliners, Peter Parker’s close friendships with Ned Leeds and MJ Watson helped the core hero on his journey to fully become Spider-Man....

After a quick diversion into the animated sphere with I Am Groot, Marvel Studios will return to live-action storytelling with Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law in mid-August. Giving fans the second-ever Hulk-centric project in MCU history, She-Hulk will add an entirely new dynamic to the franchise, much of it through the use of CGI. While rumors circulated a while back about how Marvel would bring the She-Hulk character to the small screen, it was confirmed that Maslany’s heroine would be entirely CGI....

In the source material, many have never taken the character seriously—he’s also always failed at being seen as one of Spidey’s legitimate villains....

Though the word cookie can be traced back to Dutch origins (koekje means “little cake”), there’s something distinctly American about these treats. Maybe it’s because they’re basically a blank canvas just waiting for inspiration, or maybe it’s because their palm-sized portability makes them the perfect dessert for parties and get-togethers. “I think our cookies differ largely in that they’re driven by home cooks,” rather than pastry chefs in fancy kitchens, Stella Parks, author of “BraveTart: Iconic American Desserts,” told The Washington Post....

Fans have speculated whether the extended backstory of Captain America and the super-soldier program from the comics would be explored in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The first trailer seemed to make that a mission statement for the show, with Sam Wilson saying that “The history of that shield is…complicated.” Many fans are expecting Isaiah Bradley to be introduced in this series, one of hundreds of African-Americans forcibly recruited as test subjects to recreate the Super Soldier Serum and being one of the few to live....

Some new information regarding Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania may shed light on the possibility that the Fantastic Four could show up in the threequel.One of the earliest running theories about the Fantastic Four was that the team would be introduced into the MCU via the Quantum Realm, where they would have been stuck up until this point.

Two years ago, it was reported that Narcos: Mexico star Tenoch Huerta would play an undisclosed villain in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. It was quickly speculated that Huerta would be playing T’Challa’s most bitter enemy, Namor the Sub-Mariner. A year later, The Illuminerdi revealed that Huerta would indeed be playing the Scourge of the Seven Seas, but with a twist. To match the casting of Huerta, the entire culture of Atlantis from the comics would instead be based around Mayan culture instead of Ancient Greece, as is typical for the mythical underwater city....

The first Captain Marvel film wasn’t well-received by many critics and fans, as many thought the film uneven, the villain weak, and the whole product a mediocre affair. Given the circumstances in which Brie Larson’s hero was introduced, it’s not much of a surprise that this was the response her outing received. But now, that’s all out of the way. The character is here, and her future endeavors aren’t jampacked between two of the biggest films of all time....
