Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s Lupita Nyong’o outlines why T’Challa’s son Toussaint is fit to one day rule his late father’s kingdom. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Lupita Nyong’o recently explained why Toussaint/T’Challa II (Divine Love Konadu-Sun) is a worthy successor to his late father, King T’Challa/Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman). Nyong’o, who plays Toussaint’s mother Nakia, outlined the reason why the young prince is fit to one day sit on Wakanda’s throne in an interview with IGN. “Nakia is uniquely placed to show him the ways, because she is his link to his father, and they’ve chosen to raise their son in…

Having not been seen since going up against Henry Cavill’s Superman in Man of Steel, Michael Shannon’s General Zod is back in the DC Universe (DCU) after The Flash’s latest trailer. Zod was confirmed to appear in The Flash back in December, and now Shannon’s Man of Steel villain is officially on-screen, albeit this time to go toe-to-toe with Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen/Flash, Sasha Calle’s Supergirl, and Michael Keaton’s Batman. After being taken down and killed by Henry Cavill’s Superman in the very first DCEU film, Shannon’s big bad re-enters the franchise after a decade of absence at a time when there is no Superman to protect the citizens of Earth. Following the…

Samba’s figures indicated that most series typically have a short shelf-life to attract an audience considering 15 of the 20 shows…

Wednesday star Jenna Ortega wants the Netflix show’s second season to focus more on her character and less on her romantic relationships. Wednesday star Jenna Ortega doesn’t want Season 2 to focus too much on the character’s romantic relationships. Speaking to Variety, Ortega said that while she doesn’t have any information about the upcoming season of Wednesday in terms of story details or a production start, the writers’ room is “very fresh.” Ortega added that she’d like to see Season 2 “just focus on her and her experiences” and less on love triangles, which she added “was a weird thing to justify.” Wednesday was officially…

While the MCU has tried to patch up a few of its previous plot holes, some significant contradictions still remain. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a massive force that comprises over a decade of films, television shows, and countless other properties. Despite its sustained success, there have been a few hiccups along the way. Even the comic books — perhaps, especially the comic books — have quite a few plot holes.

The novelization of Iron Man 2 gives a different origin for the MCU’s strongest metal, and the franchise made the right call in changing it. It’s easy to forget the humble origins of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Samuel L. Jackson’s now-legendary Iron Man cameo aside, early movie efforts were more concerned with doing right by their respective characters than the implications of a larger interconnected universe. The second Iron Man film stepped into a bit of a trap on that front when Tony Stark apparently “invented” vibranium while seeking a cure for his blood poisoning. Fortunately, that quickly changed, and Wakanda is now the…

Whenever anybody recalls the best MCU movies, Black Panther makes sure to grab one of the top spots on the list. Michael B. Jordan’s electrifying performance as Erik Killmonger is also a significant reason why the fans love the movie so much. The Creed fame presented one of the best antagonists in a Marvel movie. But sadly, unknown to many fans the actor went through a lot to pull off such a performance. Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger It is not new for Hollywood actors to take themselves through insane ways to pull off iconic performances. Michael B. Jordan also had to go…

Jonathan Majors has revealed more information about Kang the Conqueror in the MCU, which makes his upcoming appearances even more terrifying.

Majors debuted as a variant of Kang, named He Who Remains, in Phase 4’s Loki season 1 finale, teasing the eventual appearance of several of his other variants in future MCU projects. The first is set to appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the first project of the MCU’s Phase 5 that will uncover more details about the Multiverse Saga’s new major villain…

Over years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has given us many iconic bonds and moments. Among these, Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr have developed one of the best friendships. The on-screen couple is one of the dearest friends in real life. But it was not like that since the start. When both the stars met for the first time, Paltrow was quite uncomfortable hanging out with Tony Stark fame due to his not-so-good reputation. Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr The fans have witnessed how Tony Stark and Pepper Pott’s relationship evolved throughout the entire Infinity Saga. Parallelly, the actor’s real-life friendship…

A new Secret Invasion Disney+ spot may have teased a possible appearance by a major Agents of SHIELD character. Secret Invasion has a stellar cast, but many are expecting that the Disney+ series will be filled with cameos after Marvel Studios described it as the MCU’s “crossover event” on the small screen. One of the highly-talked-about potential cameos in Secret Invasion is the possible inclusion of Agents of SHIELD characters. While Chloe Bennet, who played Daisy Johnson in ABC’s Marvel series, recently debunked rumors of her being involved in the MCU series, there is still non-ending speculation about Agent Coulson’s team being incorporated into the post-Avengers: Endgame timeline. New Secret Invasion Might’ve Teased Agents of SHIELD’s…

Recent production information for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom reveals that there could be 2 Batman in the film, but how could that be possible? Reportedly multiple Batman actors are going to appear in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The Aquaman sequel and the rest of the DCU’s 2023 slate have been shrouded in confusion as their fate was left ambiguous in the wake of DC Studios’ restructuring. However, James Gunn and Peter Safran had relayed generally how each of these films will function relative to their new DCU, further claiming how lucky they got with these particular films. Aptly, as many people theorized, The Flash will essentially…

The new trailer for May’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 added to the already-high anticipation for the upcoming movie, in everything from Rocket’s more-fleshed-out backstory to Gamora’s heavily featured role. Full of fan-favorite characters and scenes, the latest MCU trailer was as technicolor and fun as it was emotional and heart-wrenching, capturing the spirit of the Guardians perfectly. But, the trailer also included another reveal, which, brief as it was, is easy to miss. Once noted, however, the significance of this less-highlighted reveal may be more than initially meets the eye. An MCU Debut for 1 DCU Star In the newest trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.…

From telekinesis and werewolves to underrated Greek mythology. Wednesday, Netflix’s new take on The Addams Family—with one particular member at the center— puts the family’s supernatural ties at the forefront. Not only is the family strange and Gothic, but they’re connected to Nevermore Academy, a boarding school which houses “outcasts” (read: any person with supernatural powers). The title character, Wednesday Addams (played with a wonderful deadpan by Jenna Ortega), discovers that she occasionally gets visions from touching objects, and can even talk to a past ancestor to further improve her powers and learn about her family’s past. And while her journey…

Say what you want about reboots, but The Addams Family is one of those rare media franchises that seems to find success no matter what medium, era, or platform its placed in. Something about a Gothic family that’s a little stranger than everyone else is both amusing and endearing to watch. The family’s constant dance with macabre and standoffish demeanor is what makes them such a fun cast of characters to indulge in since their inception back in 1938. Still, part of what makes The Addams Family so memorable is that they have largely stayed the same since being introduced to the…

After the announcement of DC’s slate for its first chapter, the excitement is at an all-time high among DC fans, as they can finally witness a cohesive universe for their DC heroes. But following several speculations surrounding the new DCU, James Gunn has shut some major rumors down. Considering that DCU will comprise its own Batman in the future, fans have been theorizing about the new Dark Knight. With many fans believing that a pre-established Batman actor from the previous movies may return as the definitive Batman for the DCU, The Suicide Squad director has cleared some air by debunking these rumors.…

Whether how the old relates to the new, or when to expect some of the classic big hitters, fans still have some big questions to the new DCU slate. James Gunn’s announcement of Chapter 1 of the new DCU did leave some big questions that need answering. Fans and skeptics alike were interested to learn what Gunn and Peter Safran would think up for their first slate as heads of DC Studios. The plans thus far paint a promising future for the DCU with exciting endeavors for fan-favorite characters like Superman and Batman and more obscure surprises such as The Authority and…

Even though Tony Stark has become known to fans everywhere as the Avenger, Iron Man, X-Men’s darkest timeline actually turns him into Spider-Man. Despite the fact that Tony Stark has become a household name due in part to his superhero alter ego, Iron Man, one alternate timeline (X-Men’s darkest timeline, to be specific) strips Tony of his original moniker and gives him a new one: Spider-Man. Tony Stark became Iron Man after he survived being a prisoner of war following an explosion that left pieces of shrapnel in his bloodstream, threatening to enter his heart. With the help of another brilliant prisoner, Stark’s life…

Superhero costumes in the MCU have often deviated from their comic counterparts, a mistake that is set to continue in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Superhero costumes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have regularly been perceived as over-designed, and often wildly different from characters’ comic book counterparts. When being adapted for the live-action adventures of the MCU, Marvel’s superhero costumes often lose their simplicity and vivid color, so what pops on the page feels more realistic and grounded in live-action. This is a theme that Marvel Studios has started to rectify, particularly in Phase 4 projects which have seen the likes…

Ryan Reynolds joked that he had forgotten to put together a commercial ahead of the Super Bowl with the release of his new Aviation Gin ad on Sunday. The 46-year-old actor-turned-businessman appeared anxious as he filmed the Aviation clip while admitting that he didn’t have time to put together a more compelling commercial in time for game day. ‘Today is the Super Bowl… and you’re probably wondering why Aviation Gin hasn’t done anything,’ he said bashfully while appearing behind a bar and flanked by bottles of his gin. ‘Well, as you know, I’ve been spending a lot of time with, um…’ he trailed…

Louis Leterrier’s take on the Fast & Furious franchise comes with its own bit of family drama. With the tenth installment backing up on the events of the fifth, Jason Momoa’s entry into Fast X has finally had some well-needed disclosure. The Toretto clan has been going off on globe-trotting, space-faring adventures for quite some time now, and working alongside government agencies had allowed some breathing time to the crew from their usual street-level adventures for a while. But the past has waited long enough and it is now time to collect. Fast X – The beginning of the end Also read: ‘Take a drink every…

Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr. have established a relationship similar to that of father and son. They have even joked about Holland being Downey’s son. Holland first got into the Marvel Cinematic Universe by being introduced to the Avengers as Spider-Man by Iron Man. The two have gone to many interviews together and share a relationship rather familial both on-screen and off-screen. Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr. The two actors have appeared in multiple movies together and have had some memorable interactions. From Captain America: Civil War to Avengers: Endgame both the actors have had multiple interactions and Peter Parker even learned…

Hunter Doohan’s face lights up. He is, like many Wednesday fans, thinking about Thing, the sewn-up “naive appendage,” as Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) calls him, scampering about the teen supernatural mystery. But unlike many of us, Doohan has actually worked with Thing — and the close-up magician who brought him to life, Victor Dorobantu. “I was like, ‘We’re not the coolest part of the show,’ ” says Doohan, who portrays multifaceted barista Tyler, gesturing to co-stars Emma Myers, Joy Sunday and Percy Hynes White. Nope — that honor goes to Thing. Myers thinks the disembodied hand is so cool; she gleefully boasts about getting to…

One of the biggest stars from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever teased how T’Challa’s son will grow into a bigger role in the MCU’s future. Black Panther 2 ended on quite an emotional note with its only post-credits sequence as it introduced Toussaint, Nakia and T’Challa’s son, to Shuri after her transformation into the Black Panther. The real kicker came when he revealed that his Wakandan name was actually T’Challa as well, continuing the late Chadwick Boseman’s legacy while also adding something new to the MCU narrative. Actor Divine Love Konadu-Sun shared his own excitement about joining the MCU in this role, having grown up with Marvel characters his entire life as he…

The latest trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 featured a reference to one of Thanos’ devious past acts. While the Mad Titan is no longer at large, his impact is still being felt throughout the MCU, and particularly with the Guardians. After all, Gamora and Nebula were both raised by Thanos, and Peter Quill is still grieving the loss of his Gamora at Thanos’ hands. While the Guardians of the Galaxy are set to confront a new antagonist in Vol. 3, marketing for the anticipated threequel proves that the Titan may be gone but not forgotten. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Trailer Namedrops Thanos In the latest Guardians of the…
