LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga launched as the biggest brick-built release ever with over 300 characters to unlock, 24 planets to explore, nine films of story missions to complete, and a whole host of side content to adventure through. But just like all modern titles, the launch wasn’t the end for The Skywalker Saga, as it has been followed by a host of updates, fixes, and DLC content. Under two months after release, The Skywalker Saga has already released its seven DLC packs adding a host of fan-favorite characters including those from The Mandalorian, Rogue One, Solo, The Bad Batch, and more....

Ever since Spider-Man swung into theaters in 2002, there has seldom been much of a break between wall-crawler solo films. After the grand success of Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire’s first two solo films, Sony was eager to up the ante for the third entry by bringing three villains into the mix, creating an overcrowding problem that plagued the movie.The director’s troubles with the studio led to his refusal to return for the planned fourth installment and Andrew Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man reboot just a few years later....

Marvel Studios truly set the standard for an interconnected cinematic universe with the MCU, with its success in large part coming down to the man who oversees it all: Kevin Feige. As the MCU began to see such extreme success, particularly in the aftermath of The Avengers, all of Hollywood began looking to replicate the formula, most notably Warner Bros. with the DCEU. The studio has been trying to get its interconnected world off the ground ever since Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel - a film that started a DC tale that was planned to continue into Batman v Superman and a Justice League trilogy....

Since WandaVision’s debut at the start of 2021, Marvel Studios has been pumping out premium MCU content on Disney+. Moon Knight is the latest series to make its way onto the platform, intriguing viewers week-to-week with its wacky concept and even stranger storylines. After a bombshell cliffhanger at the end of Episode 4 saw Oscar Isaac’s Marc Spector and Steven Grant trapped in a mental institution, fans were expecting some answers as to what exactly is going on in the show....

Even with the DC Universe in a major state of flux right now, fans are expecting to see more from Matt Reeves’ universe that started in 2022’s The Batman.Earning over $750 million in global box office revenue, Robert Pattinson’s new take on the Caped Crusader should have a bright future after saving Gotham from a couple of well-known villains in his first go-round. And even though a second solo Batman movie may still be a few years from releasing, fans are already anticipating what new antagonists the Dark Knight will face from his extensive rogues’ gallery....

The MCU’s Spider-Man trilogy may have come to a close, but Marvel is still not yet done with celebrating the successful web-slinging franchise through a slew of new merchandise. In three solo movies and three team-up films with the Avengers, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man has had an interesting MCU journey thus far. Aside from Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the character’s growth wouldn’t be possible without several characters from his trilogy, such as Zendaya’s MJ, Jacob Batalon’s Ned Leeds, and Jon Favreau’s Happy Hogan....

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has confirmed that in the future, fans will be seeing fewer adaptations of Batman in the DCU.Batman is easily one of the most beloved heroes in the vast collection of DC Comics characters, right next to Superman. So, it’s not surprising that there is a handful of different actors portraying their own unique versions of the dark knight.First, there’s Ben Affleck’s take on the Caped Crusader, who debuted in Batman v....

One can never have too much rice! I’ll never forget the surprise on my aunt’s face when she asked 11-year-old me what food I would take with me to a desert island. I said “white rice.” It wasn’t the answer she was expecting, but I meant it, and would say the same thing today. I can’t get enough of rice, especially basmati. I could eat it by the bowlful, every single day, with my slightly odd yet favorite combination of butter and tamari drizzled lightly over top....

Many Canadians drink milk that comes in 1.3-litre plastic bags. This is a foreign concept for Americans, who find it simultaneously amusing and unbelievable, but it’s true. Walk into any store in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime provinces (it’s less common in western Canada), and you’ll find hefty plastic outer bags containing three smaller milk-filled bags. Take it home, stick one bag in a milk jug, snip off the corner, and pour carefully....

Here are some of my favorite little baking tricks that I learned through years of mistakes. Some people have apron-clad moms and grandmas (or dad and grandpas) who patiently impart their wisdom in the mysterious ways of baking. I, on the other hand, didn’t have time for that. I would race home from grade school, thumb through my beloved Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book and dive in blindly. Throwing together ingredients to create confections was magical alchemy for a young me, and it remains so today for a much older me....

In celebration of Earth Day: An ode to our awesome orb. Allow me to roll out a cliché and say that here at TreeHugger, every day is Earth Day. Tips on going green and sustainable design and treehugging in general are business as usual; our modus operandi 24/7. But who would we be to let such a momentous day as April 22 pass without some fanfare? So with that in mind, here’s some praise for the planet, glory for the globe, an all-around high-five highlighting some randomly remarkable features of this wild world we’re so lucky to call home....

Over the years, scientists have envisioned a few radical, some might even say crazy, ways to combat global warming. With such dire consequences, it’s hard to blame them for thinking out of the box. The most outlandish solutions tend to share the implicit notion that it’s somehow easier to radically alter the Earth than it is to simply change human behavior. Junk science or necessary action? You decide. Here’s our list of the 10 most outlandish ideas for stopping global warming....

Joe and Anthony Russo have cemented themselves as two of the most accomplished directors in MCU history thanks to their efforts on Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. But before those two game-changing team-up efforts, they proved they could do smaller-scale outings with big hero counts as well with their work on 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, which started Phase 3 over six years ago. Civil War became the biggest MCU “solo movie” to date upon its release, netting the Russos their first billion-dollar box-office hit as Captain America and Iron Man went toe-to-toe with one another....

Disney+ has proven to be a successful investment for the House of Mouse as it now has an outlet to deliver its wide range of content straight to audiences every week. From the beginning, the streaming platform had promised access to much of the company’s catalog, blockbuster original movies, series on big-screen budgets, and new content in the MCU and Star Wars universes. With Marvel and Star Wars releasing so many episodes of original content, there was always bound to be a time at which they began to overlap....

Imagine that you’re preparing dinner when suddenly you notice a swarm of ant-like insects crawling on your kitchen counter. If you live in the South or in the lower portion of either coast, your first reaction might be one of panic: “TERMITES!!” Not so fast. They could be flying ants. Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs at the National Pest Management Association in Fairfax, Va., says there’s an easy way to determine which of these unwanted visitors has found its way into your home....

Science now tells us that refrigeration ruins tomatoes’ glorious taste. I remember when my old college roommate expressed horror at seeing me put a pint of cherry tomatoes in the fridge. “Never do that! They lose all their nutrients,” she said to me, shocked. Ever since, I’ve left tomatoes out of the fridge, without really understanding why. Now science has proven her mostly right. It is not nutrients so much as flavor that gets lost....

Phase 4 of the MCU is just days away, giving fans a much-needed dive back into the universe after a year-and-a-half hiatus. The current slate has 25 projects on the way from Marvel Studios, which will keep fans plenty busy for months, even years to come. However before the wave of new films and TV shows has even begun, Marvel Studios reportedly already has second seasons in the works for Phase 4 projects like Loki and the animated series What If…?...

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier launched on Friday to unprecedented popularity, marking the highest-viewed Disney+ premiere yet. The episode was filled with some amazing moments, from blockbuster action spectacles to surprise character returns, setting up an amazing five episodes that remain. However, the episode was criticized by many for its slow start to the story as it mainly focussed on setting up the post-Endgame story for both Sam and Bucky, with the two not even interacting in the premier....

After countless delays due to the pandemic and other factors, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is finally set to make its mark as the second movie in the MCU’s Phase 5. And with Guardians 3 comes the first appearance in the MCU for Adam Warlock, one of the most heavily-teased characters throughout the entire Guardians franchise. In October 2021, Will Poulter was reportedly cast as Adam Warlock for the MCU, which fulfills the tease from one of Vol....

The Book of Boba Fett released in December 2021, a time slot that many fans previously believed would be filled by Season 3 of The Mandalorian. It was confirmed that the latter wouldn’t come out until late 2022 at the very earliest, which prompted viewers to wonder if it would be two years before they got to see the duo of Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin and Grogu on-screen again. However, Din’s story ended up being continued in multiple episodes of The Book of Boba Fett, which worked as an actual setup for The Mandalorian’s third installment....
