As all eyes turned towards the promotional material for Captain Marvel which was finally unleashed online this week, there was a brief and merciful pause in the incessant flood of fan theories and predictions that have been clogging up everybody’s news feeds in relation to next year’s other MCU movie, Avengers 4. But work on what is fast shaping up to be the BIGGEST entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date has carried on regardless, with photos emerging today of reshoots for the movie that are currently underway in and around Georgia. Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson have been…

Of all the different Defenders shows that the Marvel and Netflix collaboration has produced, Daredevil remains the most consistently popular with both critics and fans alike. Unlike its rivals, DD already has two completely faultless seasons under its belt, and Marvel are now visibly cranking up the hype for the show’s upcoming third season. The company had already gone and sent fans into an utter frenzy with the announcement that the launch date for the incoming season had been moved forward for a late 2018 arrival. Then came the announcement that the show would have a panel on display at…

Amidst all the rest of the huge amount of promotional material that’s hit the internet today in relation to next year’s Captain Marvel movie, Entertainment Weekly have gone and given us our first look at the film’s antagonists, The Skrulls.  For those of you who still might not know what a Skrull is, assuming there are potentially some of you left out there, the Skrulls are a militaristic species of extraterrestrial lizards, most notable for their desire to take over the rest of the galaxy. A monarchical race, they have the ability to shape-shift into any other form, and are…

Like every other movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, last year’s Spider-Man: Homecoming arrived in cinemas complete with a whole host of crowd pleasing Easter eggs. Sure, it might not have rivaled the Guardians of the Galaxy films in terms of the sheer volume of hidden details and in-jokes, but the ones that the fans found quickly filled online forums and social media pages. It looks like one managed to stay hidden though, up until now… Rather than nods to the original comic books source material, or indeed wider pop culture, the majority of Homecoming’s hidden features focus on the…

The original comic-book incarnation of The Punisher may have spent the last forty years racking up a truly impressive number of kills, but unfortunately this high slaughter-rate isn’t quite matched by an equivalent level of spectacle. Unlike his more outlandish and colorful equivalents, the Earth-616 version of Frank Castle merrily plows his way through the lower echelons of crime, only killing the occasional super-villain. Well, all that just changed, as the latest issue of the current Punisher run sees Frank taking out a BIG NAME bad guy… Of course, it would be unfair to work on the assumption that Castle…

Ever since Director James Gunn’s historic offending on social media first came to light, things seemed to have continually gone from bad to worse for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Amidst allegations of yet further misconduct by Gunn, an argument over the use of the script he had penned for the project and a groundswell of revolution from the movie’s principal cast, the Marvel three-quel simply doesn’t seem to have been able to catch a break. Well, now it seems the inevitable has finally happened, with reports emerging this week that Marvel have now taken the step of cancelling…

As if it wasn’t exciting enough that Season 3 of Marvel’s Daredevil will be arriving earlier than expected on our screens before the end of this year, a leaked production still that has appeared online this week has sent fans into an utter frenzy. The image seems to depict a fully recovered Matt Murdock dressed in his original black suit, whilst a second unknown male can also be seen in the shot wearing what appears to be the traditional Daredevil red armored suit. Some commentators have taken this to potentially be an agent of Wilson Fisk, impersonating Murdock in order…

Given the traumatic closing sequence of Infinity War, and the need for the events of next year’s Avengers 4 to dramatically counter the damage that was just done to the MCU’s most iconic superhero team, it’s not that surprising there’s been a lot less hype and expectation around Ant-Man & The Wasp. Well, the way that Marvel fans view the second Ant-Man movie might be about to change, as its director just dropped a HUGE hint about how important his little sequel is to the upcoming fourth Avengers film. Ever since a series of unauthorized photos were leaked online from…

It’s turned out to be a damnably good old week for fans of the Defenders TV shows. First up came the news that Season 3 of Daredevil would be arriving unexpectedly early before the end of the year. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, it’s also been revealed that season 2 of The Punisher has now finished filming, leaving plenty of time for the show to fit nicely into the 2019 slot that had previously been set aside for Daredevil.  The news has come from an unlikely, but totally reliable source. Of all the cast and crew associated with the…

If the last 12 months have taught audiences anything, it’s that Marvel have well and truly lost any of the previous reticence they may have had for killing off their fan favorites. From Killmonger, to Heimdall and the Warriors Three, there has been a very noticeable shift within the Marvel Cinematic Universe from repeatedly placing their main players in unconvincing peril, to just casually stabbing them or snapping their necks. So with Avengers 4 now almost within touching distance, which of the MCU’s main players are most likely to kick the bucket? Sure. Avengers: Infinity War was hands-down the most…
