When Wanda was first introduced in "Age of Ultron," her magic was meant to be ethereal and stealthy. Paolo Giandoso, who worked on the concept art for Wanda, told ComicBook.com that he wanted to stay away from the "opaque, bloody form of energy" of the Aether from "Thor: The Dark World." Instead, he wanted an effect that suited the Scarlet Witch. When it eventually came time to design the look of Agatha's magic, Marvel needed to ensure it was consistent with Wanda's style of witchy magic, while still…

For the most part, film viewers have resolved themselves to the basic time traveling rules of "Back to The Future." We recommend tossing aside all such whimsical simplicity. The time traveling in "Days of Future Past” is a unique beast. It primarily involves a mutant named Kate "Kitty" Pryde (Elliot Page). Normally, the mutant formerly codenamed Shadowcat has the ability to move though solid objects — walk through walls, essentially — and can bring others along if need be.  In the original "Days of Future…

Early in "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," Sam Wilson gives Captain America's shield to the U.S. government, with the intention of it being put in a museum to honor Steve Rogers. However, the government has other plans, as seen when they introduce their own new Captain America: John Walker (Wyatt Russell). While he seems like your average all-American man, audiences can instantly see the differences between him and Rogers.

| It was his big line in the Suicide Squad movie and the subsequent Peacemaker TV series, as uttered by John Cena. "I cherish peace with all my heart. I don't care how many men, women and children I need to kill to get it." But in the TV show, when it came to killing a kid- even one who had been already killed, hollowed out and possessed by an alien invader – he just couldn't do it. Weakling. The comic book version which inspired the original, had The Peacemaker is Christopher Smith, a pacifist diplomat so committed to…
