Image via Marvel Studios Ahead of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania at long last arriving on Disney Plus later this week, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is still very much dominating the Marvel news scene, especially after its continued barnstorming box office success. The way forward for the franchise is paved with gold, then — almost literally, thanks to Adam Warlock’s exciting MCU future. Although it turns out we narrowly avoided the cosmic threequel ending on much more of a downer… James Gunn “toyed with”…

"Star Trek" may hold the record for most crossovered series; another that few could have predicted involved the X-Men from Marvel Comics. The crossover came via a one-shot comic titled "Star Trek/X-Men," published in 1996. The book is set during the original five-year mission of the USS Enterprise, so it includes "The Original Series" cast of characters. In the story, the Enterprise crew stumbles across a psionic rift in space, which opens, and a Shi'ar spacecraft emerges to face the Enterprise. A second,…

Doctor Strange 2 folded in the X-Men universe through Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, Spider-Man: No Way Home did the same for the Raimiverse, the Amazing-verse, and the Sony universe, and no doubt plenty more are coming in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars. And now the multiverse has expanded when fans weren’t even expecting it. Despite opening…

Image via Universal Pictures/20th Century Studios Horror crossovers have been done before, and some have emerged as masterful strokes of genius from the filmmaker gods. However, this article is not about that. Instead, think of two horror stories that have no business being together or even in the same world. How would that crossover look? Lake Placid vs. Anaconda (2015) pitted two reptiles against each other, both of which were of enormous size and had fans taking sides on which one would win, the snake or its…

via Marvel Studios Your Honor, the Marvel fandom would like to request a recess to come to a unanimous verdict on where it stands on the hype for Daredevil: Born Again. On the one hand, the fact that it’s finally going before cameras is hugely exciting, as is the joyful news that Jon Bernthal is coming back as the Punisher. And yet we also know that a couple of fan-favorites won’t be returning, and news of a major delay is only adding to the fear that the revival is already going off the rails. At least, Loki…

With James Gunn and Peter Safran in the midst of dismantling the remnants of the old DCU in favor of their new and hopefully improved vision, there’s a distinct possibility that Shazam! Fury of the Gods could prove to be a pointless exercise. Despite being the sequel to one of the best-reviewed and most profitable installments in the franchise’s history, Zachary Levi’s second outing under the padded muscle suit is on track for one of the comic book company’s weakest box office returns ever, and…
