It has been 718 days since Black Widow was officially announced. Now, after nearly two years of trailers, delays, interviews, and movie posters, it is finally Black Widow week as the first movie of the MCU’s Phase 4 has arrived. Ever since her first appearance in 2010’s Iron Man 2, Scarlett Johansson has been a staple of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After eight appearances and the seventh-most screen time in the MCU, ScarJo is finally getting the spotlight she deserves in the form of an action/spy prequel diving into the past of Natasha Romanoff....

After being delayed not once, not twice, but three times and left completely untouched for at least a year, Black Widow will officially be released on Disney+’s Premier Access and in theaters on July 9, 2021. Even actor David Harbour apologized to fans about multiple delays. Harbour promised a literal family dynamic with himself and the rest of the primary cast that will factor into the film’s plot. Additionally, a new clip from Black Widow that should be familiar to fans has been released, showing off this dynamic with greater context and an embarrassed Yelena Belova....

Some new promotional posters for CW’s upcoming Gotham Knights series have landed, and they focus on the murder of Bruce Wayne.Back in 2021, Warner Bros. announced they had greenlit a show following Batman’s adopted son and four children of the hero’s enemies as the group is framed for killing the Dark Knight.To put it bluntly, fans are not excited by the concept. The show’s first trailer was heavily ridiculed when it was first released....

For years now, Warner Bros. has been in pursuit of a DC Cinematic Universe that lives up to the gold standard Disney has set with the MCU. From the inception of the MCU, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has sat at the helm of it all, producing every entry in the franchise and overseeing the direction, and finding DC’s equivalent has been no easy task.It’s tough to narrow down exactly what DC needs in its franchise chief, but Feige has long been described as the template for what Warner Bros....

At this point in the history of the MCU, there are certain trademarks that fans have come to expect, such as post-credits scenes, interconnected storytelling, genre experimentation, and, of course, cameos. Of all the projects on Marvel’s 2022 slate, Disney+‘s She-Hulk is shaping up to be “the show” where Marvel could lean into the hallmarks of its brand, particularly when it comes to those fan-favorite cameos. Starring Tatiana Maslany as Bruce Banner’s cousin, Jennifer Walters, She-Hulk is expected to be a half-hour legal comedy where Walters balances her career as a lawyer with her Hulk-like qualities....

Kang the Conqueror is a name that will continue to crop up as the MCU’s Multiverse Saga unfolds, and as such, fans cannot help but wonder what projects he may appear in.When MCU fans first met Kang (Jonathan Majors) as He Who Remains in Loki, the character warned of his variants — a sentiment echoed by the version of him seen in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. With multiple Kang Variants now introduced to the MCU, and their threat levels established, it would make sense to see the time-bending villain appear elsewhere in the continued telling of Multiverse-related stories in Phases 5 and 6....

Fans were shocked to learn that the villain of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania would be one of the Avengers’ greatest villains: Kang the Conqueror. Not only was Kang already built up as a significant threat in the finale of the first season of Loki, but fans have long speculated that Kang would be the villain of this new MCU saga. Of course, this can’t be good for Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang or anyone else close to him if Kang the Conqueror is involved–a villain who has decimated timelines and gone toe-to-toe with the Avengers in the comics single-handedly....

Gardens and orchards may look orderly, but they don’t stay that way naturally. That’s why food forests — forests made up entirely of plants that can be eated — are becoming popular. These ecosystems take a long time to get going, but once they’re in motion, they basically maintain themselves. Plus, they can provide much more food than most traditional gardens. Nimrod Hochberg, an Israeli community organizer, is building a food forest inside a Tel Aviv park....

Skunks have achieved pretty strong brand awareness. Most people know about their pungent defense mechanism, and thus know to steer clear of these notoriously noxious animals. But in case anyone hesitates too long, some skunk species offer an extra warning before they spray: a handstand intimidation dance. The Dance of the Spotted Skunk These dances are performed by spotted skunks, a group of four species distinct from the more familiar striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis)....

The conversation surrounding Zero Waste living needs to embrace everyone, including those who live with disabilities and low incomes. Many online commenters complain about the fact that Zero Waste blogs tend to be run by primarily young, affluent females who have the time and money to run around town, visiting numerous stores in order to source their favorite local, organic ingredients in fancy glass jars and stainless containers, before heading home to DIY everything from bread and yogurt to toothpaste and body wash....

Gal Gadot is about to stand out as one of the most prominent names in entertainment for the next few months thanks to her most recent work in the DC Extended Universe.

Before setting the course for their (potentially) final MCU adventure, the Guardians of the Galaxy will first make their comeback in Thor: Love and Thunder. This comes after Avengers: Endgame’s ending where Thor decided to leave New Asgard to be with the Guardians in the cosmos.

While fans are currently engaged in the weekly story of Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight, it hasn’t kept audiences from looking forward to what comes next: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The movie is said to be the first true dive into the Multiverse, something that seems right up the ally of Benedict Cumberbatch’s former Sorcerer Supreme. The trailers have teased many aspects of the film, from a giant monster named Gargantos, countless Variants of the leading characters, and the introduction of Xochitl Gomez’s America Chavez....

Despite being pushed back to May 6, 2022, Thor: Love and Thunder remains one of the most anticipated upcoming MCU projects. With the return of Natalie Portman as Jane Foster/Mighty Thor and Christian Bale joining the cast at Gorr The God Butcher, some may have forgotten the King of Asgard herself, Tessa Thompson, will reprise her role as Valkyrie. Audiences saw Thompson’s Valkyrie go from a drunk bounty hunter on Sakaar to the new King of what remains of Asgard in Avengers: Endgame....

After several cinematic outings and Disney+ projects, Spider-Man: No Way Home rounded out Marvel Studios’ 2021 with a bang. The Spidey threequel not only delivered fans with a satisfying conclusion for web-slingers across the Multiverse but also delivered on monumental box office boons for the MCU and the film industry as a whole. Now that all of No Way Home’s secrets are out in the wild such as the inclusion of past Spider-Men and the post-credits tease of the symbiote, fans now look to the future for where Spider-Man will set foot next along with what projects his film will have an impact on....

Although the MCU is in a great place during Phase 4 with recent hits like Doctor Strange 2 and Moon Knight, the franchise still has some struggles with its content releases. Specifically, this has to do with censorship of certain projects, whether it be for an upcoming title or retroactively once they are ready for streaming on Disney+. Spider-Man: No Way Home had issues releasing in China due to the Statue of Liberty being a huge part of the final battle, while Eternals and Doctor Strange 2’s use of LGBTQIA+ material caused problems in the Middle East....
