In an alternate world, Spider-Man’s pompous attitude and life choices are directly responsible for inspiring the man who would kill his Uncle Ben. Spider-Man’s journey to becoming a crime fighter has always been tied to the death of Uncle Ben and how Peter did not stop the man who would later kill his uncle. Fans already know Ben Parker’s lesson that with great power comes great responsibility. But in one reboot of Spider-Man’s origin story, the wallcrawler’s infamy as a TV star gets his uncle killed in the saddest way possible. The 1998 comic Spider-Man Chapter One #1 by John Byrne is a retelling of…

Spider-Man almost used a gun instead of his webshooters – and Peter Parker’s life would have been completely different. Marvel’s Spider-Man is known for his webshooters, but he nearly carried another piece of equipment in their place: a gun. Peter Parker is a relatively non-violent character when it comes to the pantheon of Marvel superheroes, and like the others, he has sworn never to take a life. But a very lethal-looking weapon was nearly carried by Peter Parker in an era when legendary artist Jack Kirby almost created Spider-Man. Spider-Man was a breath of fresh air in the 60s when superheroes were seemingly…
In the MCU Thor is a bit of a goof, but one new gut-wrenching fact makes the God of Thunder a true tragic hero. Thor’s father, Odin, gets talked about a lot in both the MCU and Marvel Comics, but he’s not the only parent of the God of Thunder. In fact, a revelation about Thor’s love for his mother in the comics adds even more depth to one truly gut-wrenching MCU scene. Thor Odinson’s parentage is more than a little convoluted. His father is most definitely Odin, the All-Father, and the powerful ruler of Asgard, but it’s the identity of his mother where…
An adorable boy dressed as Captain America and holding Thor’s hammer gets a big stamp of approval from MCU stars Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth. Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans react to an adorable cosplayer who is dressed like Captain America wielding Thor’s hammer. Avengers: Endgame featured many iconic MCU moments, including payoff to the Avengers: Age of Ultron tease that involved Steve Rogers being worthy of Mjölnir. Since then, it has become a fan-favorite inspiration for cosplayers, but this latest one may be the cutest thus far. First shared by Hemsworth on his official Twitter account is an image of a young boy dressed as…

Black Widow was one of several heroes to lose their lives during Avengers: Endgame, but one cut scene from the film makes her sacrifice more powerful. One cut scene from Avengers: Endgame reveals what Black Widow was up to during the Blip and makes her MCU sacrifice even more powerful. Scarlett Johansson debuted as Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, in Iron Man 2 and quickly took her place as one of the MCU’s original Avengers. While Phase 4’s Black Widow delivered a retrospective story for Romanoff, the character’s story came to an end in Avengers: Endgame, which saw her sacrifice herself to allow Clint Barton, the MCU’s…
Iron Man’s Avengers: Endgame death is one of the most tragic moments in the MCU and yet, Thor didn’t seem to be distraught about it. Why? There’s an interesting reason why Thor wasn’t distraught about Iron Man’s Avengers: Endgame death, and it has something to do with his heritage. As part of the original Earth’s Mightiest Heroes roster, Tony Stark and the God of Thunder had been in many battles together. While they didn’t get many one-on-one conversations, they still developed some kind of friendship born out of their shared experiences. So, it’s curious why Thor didn’t look as distraught as the…
The first look at Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn costume in Joker 2 has been revealed. Here’s how it compares to Margot Robbie’s Harley & the DC Comics. Joker: Folie à Deux’s set pictures reveal a first look at Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn costume, and it is quite different from recent Harley Quinn adaptations. Though Joaquin Phoenix’s return as the Joker in Joker 2 was already enough to justify the sequel, the addition of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn makes Folie à Deux even more exciting. Like Joker (2019), Folie à Deux will not have any ties to the DC Universe – it is a DC Elseworlds film. SCREENRANT VIDEO OF…

Now that Spider-Man is in a unique situation after Spider-Man: No Way Home the MCU could showcase some popular and classic team-ups soon. The MCU could feature some classic Spider-Man team-ups in the future, and thankfully there are many great options for them to play with. The web-slinging hero’s future in the MCU is ever in question due to ongoing contract negotiations with Sony and their own interests in developing their own movie franchise. Nevertheless, it seems safe to say that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is here to stay in the MCU and his next trilogy is in development in some form. There’s…
The continued talks about when Robert Downey Jr. will return as Iron Man in the MCU prove how Marvel Studios is failing post-Infinity Saga. Four years since Robert Downey Jr. wrapped up his run as Iron Man talks about his possible return continues proving that Marvel Studios is failing the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The MCU has finally entered Phase 5 of the Multiverse Saga and is actively laying the groundwork for the franchise’s next culminating event. Despite being in an entirely new overarching narrative, certain events and characters in the Infinity Saga are still very relevant in its current storytelling. That includes…
The Marvel Cinematic Universe began with Tony Stark in 2008’s Iron Man, and for many fans, it ended with his death in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. With less-than-stellar ratings for Phase 4 (2021-2022), the MCU might find its answer in bringing back one Stark we haven’t seen since Endgame. Morgan Stark was the adorable daughter of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts, a child born during the five-year blip. Her line, “I love you 3000,” quickly became among the most-quoted lines of the franchise, and her character served an important purpose for Tony. She was the reason he wasn’t immediately willing to go back…
Will the new head of the DCU listen to what the fans want?

One of the most interesting answers came from Cage. When asked by a fan if, given the actor’s previous roles, he would like to play…

Maybe you also fell in love with Rihanna’s style for the very first time during the music video for “Pon de Replay” (because who could forget that end-credit dance montage from “Bring It On: All or Nothing”?). In the 17 years since her debut single dropped, her look has evolved and grown into icon status — and we don’t use that word lightly. Rihanna has pulled off everything from layered bangs to a MySpace-era striped dye job and even an edgy mullet, but there’s one style that has us screenshotting time and time again: Rihanna in braids. “Her focus, intelligence, beauty, strength, and sex appeal are…

Thor’s appearance keeps evolving in the MCU, and the next big design change for Chris Hemsworth’s character may have been teased in Phase 4. Thor’s appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has changed a lot over the years, but the next big design change for Chris Hemsworth’s character was cleverly set up in Phase 4. The god of thunder is known for having one of the most tragic stories in the entire universe, and the losses he’s endured have often been reflected in his physical appearance. The end of Phase 3 dramatically altered Thor’s look as his long blonde hair…
Captain America 4 is essentially becoming the MCU’s Incredible Hulk 2 what with all the characters returning, including Betty Ross and The Leader. The latest casting news for Captain America: New World Order continues to prove the film is moonlighting as The Incredible Hulk 2, a sequel to the Marvel movie from 2008. Given that The Incredible Hulk was co-produced by Marvel Studios and Universal Studios, a sequel has never been officially released. This is largely due in part to the latter studio holding the distribution rights for the character of the Hulk, meaning Marvel Studios have only been able to utilize Hulk in other…
The MCU’s Peter Parker has always had an adult mentor to look up to, and someone needs to fill this vacancy after Phase 4’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. The MCU’s Peter Parker has been left without a mentor after Spider-Man: No Way Home.

No Way Home also marked some significant changes in Parker’s MCU story, as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man faced…
