The MCU ain’t what it used to be. As much as everyone loved Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and even The Marvels has found streaming success, there’s no denying that Marvel simply isn’t the cinematic juggernaut it was five years ago. Now it’s more like the Vinnie Jones Juggernaut. The aforementioned Brie Larson sequel is the perfect proof in the pudding: in 2019, Captain Marvel brought home over $1 billion at the box office while The Marvels only managed just over $200 million in 2023. It’s easy to argue, then, that the…

Carol Danvers is no stranger to getting significant redesigns in the comics, going back to her earliest days under her past codename. When Danvers debuted as "Ms. Marvel" in "Ms. Marvel" #1 (by Gerry Conway, John Buscema, Joe Sinnott, Marie Severin, and John Costanza), she wore a very risque costume that was a product of its time. Her first red and blue suit exposed her stomach, and she had bottoms that barely covered her from the waist down. In "Ms. Marvel" #20 (by Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum, Bob…

Last year was an odd one for the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a lot of ways that couldn’t help but hover over its 2023 output. The biggest example of this was The Marvels: the movie received a mixed reception in November, and ended up being one of the lowest-performing MCU movies to date. Reuniting With Nia DaCosta on The Marvels | io9 InterviewThat in and of itself indicated some audience fatigue, which happens naturally when you’ve been at this for 15 years. But what really drew attention was how quickly Disney wanted…

Is Deadpool 3 going to make years-long dreams come true by bringing Daniel Radcliffe into the MCU? It’s not long until we get to find out, but in the meantime it’s just possible that a different Harry Potter alum is switching sides from the Wizarding World to the Marvel universe instead. The former Boy Who Lived himself, Radcliffe has been batting away claims that he’s replacing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine for the longest time now, so that’s what leads credence to the demented rumors that Radcliffe could turn up as a…

There's no denying that without the talented artists and writers who have made Marvel Comics such a print juggernaut, Marvel Studios and the MCU wouldn't exist. Be that as it may, as claimed in THR's article on the matter, the minds behind so many beloved and influential superhero adaptations have gone above and beyond to shrink comic creators' payouts for using their characters. In addition to the aforementioned "cameo" tactic, Marvel Studios has reportedly pulled some other strategies out of its bag of…

Nobody was more ready for the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy to end than Dave Bautista. In the run-up to Vol. 3‘s release in May 2023, the WWE star-turned-Proper-Actor made no secret of the fact that he was desperate to leave the character of Drax the Destroyer behind. That’s not to say Bautista hated his time working with either Marvel Studios or James Gunn, however, but the Glass Onion alum has been open about how Drax’s turn to an overtly comedic character across his appearances in the franchise left him disappointed…

A funny thing happened on The Marvels‘ way to streaming. Despite releasing in theaters to widespread disinterest in November, once the MCU sequel hit digital people suddenly started giving it some much-needed positive attention. Sure enough, upon its arrival on Disney Plus, the film that seemed destined to become the most forgotten and least-viewed Marvel Studios production earned itself a surprising groundswell of popularity and some enduring chart-topping powers. “Hey, I wish I saw this in cinemas,” said a whole bunch…

While there hasn't been any indication that Wolverine and Punisher will be doing battle in live-action, either as allies or enemies, the stage is already somewhat set for the two characters to meet in the MCU. Hugh Jackman will be making his long-awaited return as the berserk mutant in "Deadpool & Wolverine," which is also in a position to introduce several recently acquired properties into Disney's sprawling cinematic universe. This includes the Netflix Marvel series "Daredevil, "Jessica Jones,"…
