At the moment, I’m driving my pickup truck through the Appalachian Mountains to the home of an Amish farmer who’s building me a chicken coop with built-in WiFi. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Seven years ago, I was living in the bustling metropolis of Atlanta, commuting downtown to work each day on the city’s infamously traffic-clogged 14-lane highway. Today, I work from a home that sits on five acres in the middle of the woods....

The upcoming MCU film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has been touted by cast and crew alike as the final chapter, a sendoff to the iteration of the team that first began in the original 2014 movie. With that in mind, fans have taken to speculating whether or not Vol. 3 will truly be the final time they get to see Quill, Gamora, Rocket and crew. James Gunn has stressed that this film is intended as the grand finale to his Guardians of the Galaxy....

Whatever you call (or aren’t sure to call) them, chances are you’ve contributed to more than a few informal shortcuts that veer off the prescribed concrete path. Desire paths — or desire lines, as they’re more formally known in urban planning — are the well-worn pedestrian pathways formed by simple erosion and a successive line of people deciding: “Nah, I’m going to go this way.” Generally, desire paths (I grew up referring to them as cowpaths) branch off from, run parallel to or connect sidewalks and other established walking paths to provide a less circuitous route from point A to point B....

Marvel’s latest theatrical hit, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, has officially landed on Disney+! The dimension-hopping MCU epic sees Dr. Stephen Strange and teenaged tagalong America Chavez traveling between parallel universes and exploring the Multiverse. During the pair’s interdimensional romp, they get waylaid on Earth-838. It is on Earth-838 that Strange and Chavez are apprehended by the Illuminati, a “meeting-of-the-minds” style team of superheroes who convene to make decisions that shape the fate of their world....

Outside of A-listers like Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor, Marvel Studios has found a way to deliver plenty of more obscure characters through the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Some of these prominently come from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Along with heroes like Rocket and Groot becoming household names, fans are now on the lookout for personalities as out there as Howard the Duck. Howard has played an interesting role throughout his time in the MCU having first debuted in the post-credits scene from 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy....

The Star Wars sequel trilogy in a strange position at the moment with Star Wars fans, with many dismissing the recent set of films following the massive success of The Mandalorian. From ill-defined plans to constant changes behind the scenes, the Star Wars sequels have been in a constant state of back and forth from the beginning. The Force Awakens was seemingly a return to form, but many criticized its similarities to A New Hope....

For many, Thor: Love and Thunder wasn’t everything they had hoped it would be. Many reviews pointed out the project’s pacing issues, flat jokes, and more than a few plot conveniences. One of the most agreed upon faults, however, was its length. It was simply too short, and more scenes to flesh out its various characters and plot threads would have done a whole lot of good. Christian Bale’s Gorr needed more time on screen to build his threat—after all, for being labeled a god butcher, he only managed to kill one of their kind on screen....

Marvel Studios has a huge few months ahead for Phase Four of the MCU, which will come to a close on the Disney+ streaming platform with the Hawkeye series.

Renner revealed that his last day of shooting on the series came in April 2021 after about five months of hard work bringing the MCU’s archer back for his own solo adventure....

A worldwide water crisis is a-comin’. Don’t believe me? Violence over water rights is already breaking out in regions of the world where water is scarce. Along with political tensions–and maybe wars–we’re going to see food production affected, and more people flat out hungry and thirsty. And it’s all because we’re simply using too much water. We use too much when we shower, when we do the dishes–but mostly, we use too much to produce all the stuff we buy....

One thing you want to do with your dog every day is go on a walk. A happy, peaceful, relaxing walk for both of you means no pulling, lunging, weaving, ping-ponging, and stopping at every single tree to sniff. It’s one where you and your dog walk calmly next to each other, enjoying the moment and the movement, with the leash a forgotten safety measure keeping the two of you connected....

Ever since Warner Bros. made the decision to cancel Batgirl, despite it being already shot and in post-production, every project under Warner Bros. purview has been wondering if they’ll be next—especially the expansive slate of DC Comics properties. So if something as big as Leslie Grace’s debut was canned, which also had Michael Keaton in it, what hope do smaller shows like Titans or Doom Patrol have?Even the Arrowverse seems to be coming to an end with The Flash’s upcoming season; that connected universe started a decade ago, back in 2012....

One of the surprise standout characters in Avengers: Endgame came in Karen Gillen’s Nebula. After being one of the two Guardians characters still alive after Thanos’ snap, audiences got to see an entirely different side of her. This included caring for Tony Stark when he was on the brink of death, connecting with the Avengers themselves, and even convincing Gamora to betray her father in an alternate timeline—a direct parallel to what happened in the prime MCU....

Due to streaming wars, mergers, pandemic-related shutdowns and delays, and uncertainty concerning theaters, recent months haven’t been kind to film studios. However, the same can’t be said for certain Hollywood stars, such as Barry Keoghan. Within the past year, the actor has appeared in Marvel’s Eternals as Druig, as well as Warner Bros. The Batman in a surprise role.The Irish actor first caught Hollywood’s eye for his 2017 roles in The Killing of a Sacred Deer alongside Colin Farrel and Nicole Kidman and in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk....

WandaVision proved to be a pop culture phenomenon when it was released, providing the perfect start to Phase Four of the MCU. It even set up Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where she caused just a little bit of mayhem. But what about Vision?That’s a great question. The false version of Paul Bettany’s android was wiped away when Westview got taken down. However, there’s still the new physically formed version of himself out there in the world....

The fourth installment of Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight turned everything up to eleven, as Oscar Isaac’s character had his entire existence flipped upsidedown.

The film was released to positive reactions across the board minus a few flaws here and there. Black Widow even broke some records, doing extremely well for Disney+.

This year alone the actor is set to take on lead roles in Spider-Man 3, Uncharted, and Cherry. While all three of these are highly anticipated by very different groups, Spider-Man 3 is by far the most discussed of the bunch.

One of the movies is the untitled Spider-Man 3 film which will address the cliffhanger ending of Spider-Man: Far From Home.
