Thor has been a pretty popular character in the MCU recently. In fact, his upcoming film, Thor: Love and Thunder, is one of the most anticipated MCU films on the schedule. Oddly enough, though, the God of Thunder didn’t always have this love. It was 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok’s drastic shift in tone and narrative which allowed Chris Hemsworth the freedom he needed to truly hit those high notes for the character....

Marvel Studios is now officially ready for its 2022 slate, including three consecutive sequels on the movie side following up on stories from the Infinity Saga. One of these is July’s Thor: Love and Thunder, which brings back Chris Hemsworth’s God of Thunder alongside returning supporting players like Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie and Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster. With Love and Thunder still being more than six months away from its debut, fans have seen very little in terms of official material from the summer blockbuster....

Spider-Man remains one of the most popular heroes in the game, and for good reason, thanks to his live-action adventures. This includes the recently released Spider-Man: No Way Home, which debuted in December 2021 to a record-breaking reception financially and critically. Part of what made the Sony/Marvel team-up so successful was the way it paid tribute to the web-slinger’s big-screen history at every turn. While No Way Home was Tom Holland’s third solo Spider-Man outing within the MCU, it was the eighth solo Spidey movie across three different franchises....

And while coffee connoisseurs might balk at the idea of having decaf, those of us who want to drink coffee but don’t want the hassle of staying up all night or getting the shakes (from drinking too much coffee) might consider decaf to be the next best thing....

When You Drink Rose Water, This Is What Happens To Your Body Shutterstock By Maria Scinto/March 11, 2020 1:55 pm EST Rose water has long been known as a beauty product. In fact, it has been around since the days when Cleopatra reportedly used to add it to her bath (even if it didn’t make her quite as beautiful as history’s mythologizing has cracked her up to be). Rose water remained a popular cosmetic ingredient used in skincare and makeup 100 years ago and is still used in 21st-century beauty products as well....

Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Olivia Colman, and more, a familiar actress from that galaxy far, far away — Emilia Clarke — has joined the cast of Secret Invasion for Disney+, which looks to focus on the Skrulls first seen in 2019’s Captain Marvel and then again in Spider-Man: Far From Home....

Are Standing Desks Really Beneficial? Shutterstock By Hope Ngo/Jan. 15, 2020 11:56 am EST Sitting may seem like a passive, chilled out thing to do, but science says that’s one where reality is far worse than perception. Mayo Clinic says there is a laundry list of health issues that are associated with sitting for long periods of time, and these include conditions associated with obesity and heart disease… from high blood pressure and higher sugar levels to more extra body fat around the middle....

Warning - This article contains spoilers for Eternals. Through three theatrical films and four Disney+ series, Marvel’s Phase 4 has already introduced a number of new characters into the MCU, from WandaVision’s Agatha Harkness to Loki’s Sylvie and Mobius to the cast of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and beyond. ADVERTISEMENT Although, perhaps no MCU film has ever introduced as many new faces as Marvel’s Eternals, which featured ten cosmic characters plus Dane Whitman as the studio’s future Black Knight....

WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Episode 3 of Hawkeye. Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye is officially halfway through its first season after the premiere of Episode 3 on Disney+, which raised plenty of questions while Clint Barton and Kate Bishop strengthened their partnership. This new entry held some particularly thrilling teases for the show’s final stretch, most prominently the first possible signs of Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin becoming MCU canon. ADVERTISEMENT With this series being Renner’s first-ever solo project, Marvel Studios has a chance to pay tribute to the MCU’s long history thanks to Clint Barton’s standing as an original Avenger....

Here’s What You Should Wear On A Virtual First Date Shutterstock By Maria Scinto/April 10, 2020 6:08 pm EST The wonderful thing about social media is that it lets you expand your pool of possible partners to include anybody anywhere in the entire world. You’ve got to admit, it’s certainly an improvement over the olden days when your dating pool was more like a puddle and you really didn’t have much choice but to settle down and live happily ever after with one of a handful of people you’d known since carrying your lunch pails to the old one-room schoolhouse....

Audiences were divided when Henry Cavill’s Superman snapped the neck of Michael Shannon’s General Zod in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, though screenwriter David S. Goyer is still adamant about the choice to have Kal-El kill the renegade Kryptonian. While Shannon would love to return as the character, he was doubtful about that prospect saying, “Unless you got a defibrillator or something I don’t really see it happening.” With Cavill’s Superman film very much in the rearview, fans are looking forward to other DC offerings like The Flash....

The third original series from Marvel Studios, Loki, will premiere on Disney+ soon. Previews for the show have depicted Tom Hiddleston’s iteration of the God of Mischief as a prisoner and subsequent agent of the Time Variance Authority, an organization in charge of all events throughout the past, present, and future.This will be the first MCU appearance of the character without his brother, Thor, meaning Loki will finally get the chance to take center stage after being a standout in several movies....

Eternals is the next film in line for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it looks like it’s going to be one for the ages. The project is already set to be the second-longest MCU film to date and is teased to redefine everything audiences know about the world they’ve been following for over a decade. That’s quite an intense promise, but one which Chloé Zhao will no doubt succeed in pulling off....

Odin — he may be the Allfather, but he’s not exactly the best MCU father figure. But to be fair, the franchise doesn’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to father/child relationships anyway. Nevertheless, let’s take a look at all Odin has done during his tenure as King of Asgard… He conquered thousands of worlds in his prime as a ruthless warmonger, created a monster out of his daughter Hela and banished her to another realm when she became too powerful, and he adopted Loki as an infant to be used as a political tool....

In WandaVision, it was Agatha all along. In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, it was Zemo, U.S Agent John Walker, the Flag-Smashers, and even society itself. But in Marvel’s latest Disney+ series Loki, the villain behind it at all has remained as much of a mystery as the show itself. ADVERTISEMENT One of the most dominant theories among fans is that the time-traveling Kang the Conquerer just might the man behind the curtain of Loki’s TVA, especially since his existence in the MCU is already guaranteed for the upcoming film Ant-Man the Wasp: Quantumania....

Back in 2018, Michael B. Jordan entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe and delivered one of the most highly-praised villain performances in franchise history with his role as Erik Killmonger in the Academy Award-winning Black Panther. Unfortunately, that movie ended with Jordan’s villain accepting death after battling for the throne, leaving fans hungry for more of his complex and deep character. While Erik Stevens met his end in the live-action MCU, fans got to see Jordan make his second appearance as the Black Panther antagonist in two episodes of What If…?...

While 2020 has been nothing short of a disaster, Star Wars fans have had ample time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back . Festivities commemorating the beloved sequel have included several interviews and features on the official Star Wars website, various pieces of merchandise from popular brands, and presumably a panel at the now questionable Celebration Anaheim convention scheduled for August. One of the biggest hits for...

A Nightwing film has been in development since February 2017 with Chris McKay and Bill Dubuque signed on as the director and screenwriter. The last time that any significant progress was mentioned was in February 2018, when McKay was expecting a script draft for Nightwing “very soon.” Warner Bros. has recently been cleaning house with the cancellation of Ava Duvernay’s New Gods and James Wan’s The Trench causing some fans to wonder what other films were on the chopping block....

Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe finally begin last week with the release of WandaVision on Disney+. It had been a long time coming, as the last entry in the MCU was released all the way back in July 2019 with Spider-Man: Far From Home. Although WandaVision announced Phase 4’a arrival, wasn’t always the planned start to this new era of Marvel. No, that honor was once in the hands of Black Widow....
