Marvel has been making some changes this year. The first saga of movies has wrapped. Now the MCU will move into a new phase. And that will include TV shows on their parent company’s new streaming service. Then most recently, Kevin Feige has been promoted to lord of all Marvel. Before, he was just in charge of the movies.

Once upon a time, Inhumans was a part of the MCU’s Phase Three slate. But the project was pushed ahead. It instead became a television show alongside Agents of SHIELD, where they were gearing up for this race anyway. Though it did receive a theatrical run as the first couple episodes were played in IMAX. However, the show was canceled after just eight episodes. This could be deemed one of the few failures of the MCU. But keep in mind that Marvel Studios cast Marvel Television out like a step-child. Therefore, Marvel Studios pruned the Inhumans out of their branches…
The streaming wars wage on. Though, since this cable alternative has caught on, our favorite shows are spread out across these platforms.

But if you’re sharing your Netflix password with friends and family, you might not be able to much longer. According to Mirror, Netlflix will be cracking down on password sharing. The streaming service will install a tracking software that will find you out. Chief Product Officer, Greg Peters, spoke…
Chris Evans has churned out a great run as Steve Rogers in the MCU. And Avengers: Endgame played out a great swan song for his long-running character. It’s almost easy to forget that he played a Marvel hero before Cap. But imagine if Marvel said one was enough. John Krasinski from The Office, A Quiet Place, and Prime’s Jack Ryan auditioned for the title role of Captain America: The First Avenger. Obviously, he didn’t get the part. His career has been rather prolific in lieu of the role of a lifetime. Yet, he still blames Evans for “robbing” Cap from…
Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow died in Avengers: Endgame. Though, the next movie for the MCU will be her first solo movie. However, this will take place between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. It might also include that time in Budapest that she and Hawkeye mentioned in The Avengers. But it most certainly will not put Natasha Romanoff in any events after Endgame. Some theories, speculations, and rumors suggested that it might. But Johannson put all that to rest. The actress is currently promoting her newest film, JoJo Rabbit. The movie is directed by Marvel…
Terminator adds another film to its franchise. The series has been fairly lackluster since the third installment. And whenever another movie is added, fans tend to just roll their eyes. Despite adding Arnold Schwarzeneggar back into the mix, Terminator: Genisys ended up just being another flop. However, Terminator: Dark Fate might just be back on track. According to Slash Film, an Alamo Drafthouse location held a special event. It was marketed as a screening of T2: Judgement Day. That was sure to get seats filled. The last film in the franchise that James Cameron touched is said to be the…
Monday Night Football gave us a final look at Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker before the film is released this December. What should we expect?

Meanwhile, it forced us to say goodbye to our favorite characters, one-by-one. Now, Rise of Skywalker will bring in two more from the original trilogy. Lando Calrissian will no doubt pay his respects to the fallen Han Solo. But what is Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious doing back? Director, J.J. Abrams, promises…
People have loved Spider-Man ever since Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created him in 1962. An increasing fandom could be pointed to Spidey’s recent surge in properties. Those such as Tom Holland’s portrayal in the MCU, the animated film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the clamor for his appearance in Tom Hardy’s Venom, Disney XD’s newest cartoon, and J.J. Abrams’ stab at the comics. But the fact of the matter is that even when people hated on the Andrew Garfield movies, and before there were even movies at all, people love Spider-Man. And though his technology was far-fetched science-fiction in 1962,…
It’s been reported that Jared Leto was upset over a new Joker movie without him. The Hollywood Reporter said that the actor/musician felt betrayed. And he tried to stop the movie from being made. Further yet, the report claims that David Ayer didn’t care for Leto’s off-screen antics. Therefore he cut the majority of Joker’s scenes from Suicide Squad. Regardless if Leto’s actions were legit, Ayer has now denied his actions in the case. A fan brought the articles by THR to Ayer’s attention. @MJ91735 mentioned @DavidAyerMovies in a tweet, asking him to clear the “BS.” Suicide Squad’s director responded…
Taika Waititi has been doing the press rounds for his newest movie, JoJo Rabbit. But instead of a movie about an imaginary friend who happens to be Hitler, the director has a lot to say about Thor.

There’s much we now already from the film. The biggest topic is that Natalie Portman will return as Jane Foster. And she will lift the hammer to become the heroine from The Mighty Thor comic. Yet,…
