First up is Chris Hemsworth’s Thor: Love and Thunder, which looks to be a colorful, fun, and terrifying adventure thanks to Christian Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher. Then comes the much-anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which will feature Letitia Wright’s Shuri coming into a bigger role, Riri Williams entering the MCU fold, and the advanced nation going up against one of its biggest threats: Namor....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness opened up the doorways to countless other universes behind Stephen Strange and America Chavez. With Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff becoming more dangerous than ever and threatening everything that exists in the prime MCU, the master magicians had to lean on America’s knowledge of other universes to save their own. While there was plenty of material from outside Earth-616 that was left on the table, the sequel’s fast-paced runtime fans on a wild ride through other versions of Earth....

One of the best parts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the connectivity behind it all. A character can be introduced in one film and then go on to star in an entirely different franchise. It’s not just those big moves, though; the little details are just as special. This was exemplified in Hawkeye’s stage tribute to Captain America in the form of Rogers: The Musical. The in-universe broadway show made its debut in Hawkeye, where it served as one of the first scenes that audiences saw....

The aforementioned project is directed by Angel Manuel Soto and the lead role will be portrayed by Cobra Kai’s Xolo Maridueña, bringing a new superhero into his first live-action outing....

Spider-Man: No Way Home was the biggest MCU film since Avengers: Endgame, netting almost $2 billion at the worldwide box office. One major technical aspect that both of those films share, along with many others in today’s time, is computer-generated imagery, or CGI for short. It allows filmmakers to really dig into their respective sandboxes and go past the limitations of practical filming. For example, it wouldn’t be possible for Tom Holland to actually swing through New York City without the high risk of danger, so that is one instance where CGI comes in handy....
