And after formulating the plan to bring half the universe back to life before defeating Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, he’ll have another powerful force of nature to face in his third solo movie - Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror.Rudd is also known as one of the MCU’s funniest actors in the same way Ant-Man is one of the franchise’s funniest characters, which has led to an interesting conversation running the past couple of years about how he could have defeated Thanos....

Five of the most malignant diseases have been suggested by foresters and landowners at About’s Forestry Forum. I have ranked these diseases according to their ability to cause aesthetic and commercial damage. Here they are: #1 - Armillaria Root Disease:...

The annual Super Bowl is the sports highlight of the year for NFL fans, as the annual championship reaches its climactic final game. However, the event has become renowned for the infamous ad breaks in which corporations cash out over $5 million for a brief 30-second slot. As always, Disney has purchased multiple slots in this year’s game in which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the Kansas City Chiefs for the Vince Lombardi Trophy....

The movie is set to have a big presence at DC FanDome with all the cast in attendance to discuss the new take on the famous villain team. So far, John Cena has praised James Gunn’s work on the film and the star studded panel at DC FanDome this weekend already looks like it will be full of fun moments....

This is a serious family hauler that will change the way people use bikes. Regular readers will know that I like the European style of electric-assisted bike with pedal assist (pedelec), rather than a sort of downsized motorcycle with throttle controls. Oh, and the motors should be limited to 250 watts so that it plays nice in the bike lanes. I thought that E-bikes should be regular bikes with a bit of a boost....

Audiences are still coming down off the high that was so graciously given to the world from Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder. The vibrant and wild ride brought Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster back into the picture as she became the Mighty Thor alongside Chris Hemsworth’s God of Thunder. Before its release, the project was being hyped up by nearly every cast member who gave interviews. Among them was Portman agreeing that the adventure was “the gayest movie ever” made in the MCU....

Moon Knight’s marketing has been ramping up as it inches closer to its Disney+ premiere on March 30. The upcoming Marvel series will introduce a brand-new MCU hero in the form of Oscar Isaac’s Marc Spector alongside Ethan Hawke’s mysterious villain, Arthur Harrow.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked off 2021 to major success with Disney+ exclusives WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. While both of these projects were victories for Marvel Studios, even earning status as two of the three most-watched premieres in Disney+ history, fans are still anxiously awaiting the return of the MCU’s theatrical outings. Four of those entries will be coming this year, including Scarlett Johansson’s first MCU solo movie, Black Widow....

Q: My husband’s a compulsive key-maker. We had seven sets to our last apartment, and now less than a year later, we’re moving again with seven new sets, leaving me with fourteen unusable sets of keys. Is there a way to recycle these? Or am I just supposed to throw them out? A: Wow, that’s a lot of keys. And it’s not just you who has a boatload of unusable keys....

The X-Men franchise helped start off the new era of superhero movies at the turn of the millennium and finished with 12 films grossing over $6 billion at the global box office. While some of the longest running actors of the series like Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart have most likely finished their run as superheroes, the same cannot be said definitively for some of the younger cast members in the more recent films....

The U.S. Superfund program was created in 1980 to clean up the country’s most toxic places. It gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) new authority to identify the parties responsible for noxious hazards nationwide, and to make them clean up their messes on their own dime. The program (formally titled the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA) is vital for keeping corporations from ruining our land, air and water without consequence....

Every once in a while you run into something that sounds too good to be true but isn’t … like terrariums. Terrariums are indoor tropical gardens anyone can create. Total plant nerds, casual gardeners or parents who just want to create a simple and inexpensive science project that the family can enjoy. The bonus is that once you put in the last plant, terrariums are maintenance-free — which is the heart and soul of the too-good-to-be-true part....

Jeremy Renner will reprise his role as the bow-wielding Avenger, and previous casting rumors suggest that he will be joined by a wide array of interesting characters from the comics. The Direct exclusively reported that Iron Man villain Madame Masque will be featured in a supporting role in the show, while Barton’s brother Trickshot will also factor into the intriguing narrative....

Director Elizabeth Banks recently looked back on a time when she attempted to join the MCU’s ranks of elite filmmakers.Banks has transitioned from an extensive acting career into being behind the camera over the past few years, moving more toward that direction with the Pitch Perfect series in the 2010s. Banks even has her own history with the comic book movie genre, which could have gone beyond her acting career a few years ago....

The MCU’s Blade reboot might have its own production issues, but a bright spot has been revealed as the search for its next director has finally finished. Blade has had its fair share of ups and downs ever since it was first announced during Marvel Studios’ panel at 2019’s San Diego Comic-Con. A past report revealed that the film’s production was pushed back to early 2023, which then led to a barrage of news that slowly revealed its issues....

Following a six-year gap in Avengers movies, 2025 will bring the big guns as Phase 6 finishes with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. With new team-up movies comes the potential for crossovers between the MCU’s biggest names, and after such a long break, there will be plenty to look forward to.While there are still dozens of projects left to premiere in Phase 5 and Phase 6, it’s only natural to think about who fans need to see interact once The Kang Dynasty hits theaters in May 2025....

Fans have long wanted Marvel Studios to tell darker stories with its heroes. That’s one of the main reasons why the older Netflix shows such as Daredevil or Jessica Jones were such a hit. The topics they tackled were far more mature than what a mainstream MCU film would be able to handle (given the targeted audience). With the studio’s latest Disney+ series, Moon Knight, the current MCU has now started to dip its metaphorical feet into the darker end of the pool....

After years of waiting through endless delays, Morbius is finally right around the corner. Scripting work began almost five years ago in November 2017, titular star Jared Leto and director Daniel Espinosa signed on in June 2018, and shooting was finally underway in February 2019 and wrapped up in June 2019. So, while Morbius may be releasing just after Spider-Man: No Way Home, it wrapped filming before Far From Home and Avengers: Endgame was even released....

Since the clock began ticking down for all the Netflix Marvel heroes’ character rights, fans have been hoping that Marvel Studios would extend a hand to certain actors to return to their roles in any of their future productions. Even the actors themselves pushed and hoped for their return as the characters alongside bigger heroes like Spider-Man. Everyone was elated to hear the good news about Charlie Cox returning to the role of Matthew Murdock in Spider-Man 3, with Daredevil by far the most critically praised of the Marvel shows on Netflix from critics and fans....
