Before the massive success that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe began, there were only a sprinkle of comic book related movie to have any amount of success. But there is one that was leagues above the rest, and it recently celebrated its 20th anniversary: Blade. The Wesley Snipes vampire hunter film was hugely popular, as if Snipes was born to play the role of the Daywalker. Now, it would seem that Snipes and Marvel are working on not one, but TWO possible projects to bring Blade back to life, and into the MCU. During an interview with Vice, Snipes talked…

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are very few villains who have not only survived their film debut, but who have made a major impact on the MCU fanbase. In fact, there is only one who is had one of the most complete story arcs over the course of five films; Loki. Tom Hiddleston has taken the Trickster God and transformed him from one dimensional stereotypical villain to an enduring anti-heroesque type character that is one of fandom’s favorite characters from the ten plus years of Marvel films. His popularity rivals some of the MCU’s biggest heroes, but that may…
Oh, boy, they’re at it again. The Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Demand Boys are back, and this time, they’re demanding a trailer for Marvel Studios next upcoming release, Captain Marvel.

Take a look at the video, as these guys speak for all of us fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and provide a few laughs as well). While the main goal of the video is to take a fun loving jab at Marvel…
Marvel Studios’ Black Panther has been a groundbreaking and inspirational film that has set all kinds of box office records, as well as has the highly possibility of being the first Comic Book Movie to be nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award. But, while this film is a stand out in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it still holds a lot in common with its brethren, including the glorious treasure hunt for fans that are Easter Eggs. One eagle eyed Reddit user noticed some writing on T’Challa’s suit and was able to translate it. In the film, we saw T’Challa’s insanely…
In Avengers: Infinity War, we met the greatest villain in all of the universe, Thanos. The mega powered being was all but unstoppable before getting a hold of the Infinity Stones, but with each stone he collected, his power grew exponentially. Earth Mightiest Heroes weren’t able to stop him from completing his goal of “balance” in the universe, but what if there was someone who could have? Well, according to a theory from YouTuber Ryan Welsh (aka “WebHead”), there is a villain from a previous Marvel Cinematic Universe movie who may very well have been able to stand toe to…
Throughout the history of the World Wrestling Entertainment, many superstars have come to the ends of their ropes and quit or retired on air. Well, now, it would seem that we have a new name to add to that list: Kevin Owens. During the August 27th edition of Monday Night Raw, Kevin Owens accepted Seth Rollins open challenge for the Intercontinental Championship. Owens hasn’t exactly had an easy go of it since his return to Raw during the Superstar Shake-Up. In a long feud with Braun Strowman, Owens has been brutalized over and over by the ‘Monster Among Men’, being…
One of the biggest character arcs in all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been that of Captain America. Similar to his vast story arc throughout his comic book history, Steve Rogers has gone from idealistic and blindly patriotic kid to a hardened, burdened, and troubled war criminal who puts his morals above all else, including his own government. A man out of time, he is the living embodiment of a true hero, one who sacrifices his own needs and wants for the greater good. This also means his personal relationships. But, thanks to a new theory on Twitter, he…
The social media witch hunts and trolling has truly gotten out of hand over the last year or so. People are having their livelihoods destroyed because some hack on Twitter disagrees with their political position. This is exactly what happened to James Gunn. Gunn, the writer/director of the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films, which were surprise box office smashes, has been fired by Disney from directing the third film in the trilogy. And it’s all based on some Alt-Right troll digging up some decade old inappropriate joke tweets that Gunn has already apologized for before even beginning his…
Avengers: Infinity War is one of the most ambitious movies to date. Not since Who Framed Roger Rabbit? has a film brought together so many characters into one movie all at the same time. With so many characters and story arcs from the Marvel Cinematic Universe going on all at once, it’s easy to miss a couple little details upon a first viewing. Well, a new theory from Reddit may have picked up on some small details, but revealed a huge arc that no one seemed to notice until now, one that adds even more pain to an already downtrodden…
Everyone knows that the media giant, Disney, owns Marvel Studios. This has allowed the Marvel Cinematic Universe to have to proper money and marketing behind it to be the monstrous success that it has been over the last ten years, having some of the highest grossing films of all time. But, with great power, comes great responsibility (see what I did there?). Disney has certain rules and formatting for all their films, and the MCU is no exception. Thanks to a video from Screen Rant, we get a look at the rules that Disney imparts. Here are some of the…
