It’s a bad day for the Marvel merch team. In a pretty surprising turn of events, it looks like two items the studio recently released as theatrical merchandise in AMC theaters have come under fire and are now being recalled for violating Reece’s Law, which requires disclosure of certain kinds of batteries, as well as […]
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is eighteen years into a single continuous experiment, currently setting the stage for a soft reboot with the franchise’s most ambitious crossover. Avengers: Doomsday opens in December 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars in December 2027, a two-film culmination built to close the Multiverse Saga and reset the timeline for the […]
After the casting of Emma Frost, who will be played by the iconic Samara Weaving (Ready or Not), was officially announced, it seems that one actor wasn’t leaving anything to chance.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day has finally arrived and it gives us something the franchise set up at the end of the previous film about the hero, Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day arguably takes advantage of the MCU’s shared universe concept more than any other project, with it pulling in characters from all corners of the franchise. Spider-Man stars alongside the Punisher, Hulk, and a variety of other preexisting characters from the various shows and movies. However, it does fail at this attempt […]
Christopher Nolan is one of the biggest directors in cinema today, so much so that even before The Odyssey was released and broke records, there was already huge anticipation surrounding the movie, with tickets selling out a year in advance.
