Okay, I have to draw in a huge sigh before I start this. Alright, here we go. Since the news broke about Sony pulling out of their deal with Disney over Spider-Man, reports have gone this way and that. If you ask me, I don’t think anything should have been publicized until a complete and final verdict was found. If so, then nobody would know the wiser, and just enjoy Spidey’s further adventures in the MCU. Because I’m telling you, that’s probably how it’s going to turn out. According to We Got This Covered, despite Sony telling us that the…

Combined with writers, Markus and McFeely, the Russo brothers have contributed to this team of creators earning billions of dollars for Marvel and Disney. The Russos took over director chairs from Joe Johnston on the Captain America series. In which, the writers were already in place from the beginning. Once The Winter Soldier was a success, and onward with Civil War, they were hired to replace Joss Whedon on Cap’s further adventures with the Avengers. Of course, though it continued his relationship with Bucky, Cap’s third movie was basically another Avengers film. Now that the Russos have brought the house…

Now that it’s official, we all know that Sony is packing their Spider-bags. Fans seem to be split. Some are against the fact that he won’t be in the MCU anymore. And then there are fans, like myself, who just want to see a Spider-Man movie, no matter who’s producing it. But of the people who side with Disney, they point to Sony’s track record with the Web-Slinger. Of that camp is filmmaker/podcaster/king of the nerds, Kevin Smith. On one of his podcasts, Hollywood Babble-On, Smith had this to say about the debacle: “I don’t know, man, I saw Amazing…

Lets face it! The first two Thor movies were lackluster, to say the least. It’s a wonder how the franchise even got to a third installment. But it did, and thank Odin for that. Thor Odinson was obligated a position on the Avengers’ roster. But if it weren’t for Thor: Ragnarok, I guarantee you, there definitely wouldn’t have been a Thor: Love and Thunder. Director, Taika Waititi, with help from writers, Eric Pearson and Craig Kyle (and perhaps even Kevin Smith), took the Thor franchise to new heights by adding a little comedy. Sure, the first two films had Two…

Ever since Nick Fury showed up at Tony Stark’s beach house in Iron Man, the post-credits scenes have been an important part of the MCU. Other movies have employed this tool before the MCU came along. But it was the Marvel Cinematic Universe that trained audiences to stay put in the theater until the very end – even if it’s just for a few more seconds of movie. But regardless of how long this special scene is, it tells fans what to look forward to. Reddit user, u/samp987, came up with this flowchart that illustrates what movie each post-credits scene…

Even though she’ll finally be getting her own solo movie next year, Black Widow’s death in Avengers: Endgame was one of the saddest moments of the film. Of course, it was shadowed by Iron Man’s with his own sacrifice. Not to mention, he had a huge memorial service compared to only a couple lines about Natasha’s passing. With that being said, her sacrifice said a lot about her character. Even to the point of fighting Hawkeye over who would die for the Soul Stone. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Scarlett Johansson expressed how excited she was to…

The MCU’s Phase Three ended with Avengers: Endgame, and then Spider-Man: Far From Home as an epilogue. Next year, Phase Four will kick off with Black Widow and Eternals. After watching a movie about a character we all know and love, Eternals will introduce us to a slew of newbies. Lord of the MCU, Kevin Feige told Collider about his plans for these new characters: “Seeing returning characters is certainly something we’re gonna do and want to do. But also introducing characters that the majority of the world has never heard of, much like Guardians [of the Galaxy], much like…

Both Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. left a legacy behind in Avengers: Endgame. The culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe up to this point wrapped up several stories with a neat bow, including those of Iron Man’s and Captain America’s. Downey had played his character just a little longer than Evans. But it will still be sad to see either of them go. There are rumors that Disney and Marvel are not done with Cap yet. And I’m not talking about Falcon’s role as the new Captain America. Sure, Steve Rogers sat on that park bench with a smile…

Let the rumor mill start turning again. Now that Disney has ownership of Twentieth-Century Fox, they have a full menu of the Marvel characters Fox owned –specifically from the rosters of X-Men and Fantastic Four. Kevin Feige mentioned at the San Diego Comic Con this year that his studio has plans for those properties. Of those properties, there are a few larger-than-life villains who could stretch over a phase or two, or even a saga, like they did with Thanos. Therefore, you can bet there’s rumors flying about who might be playing what. The latest name in the hat go…

Being the most top-most grossing movie of all time, it’s hard to believe that there’s someone who hasn’t seen Avengers: Endgame. And with the film now on Digital and Blu-Ray, there’s no need to give a spoiler warning. But hey, spoiler alert, people died! Some of the most heart-breaking deaths of the MCU happened in that movie. Sure, in Avengers: Infinity War, many heroes were dusted away. But they all showed back up at the end of Part Two. And even though Gamora actually died in Infinity War, there was still a version of her who appeared in Avengers: Endgame.…
