The MCU version of Joaquín Torres first meets his predecessor on "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," which depicts Sam Wilson's (Anthony Mackie) ascension to the role of Captain America, and also stealthily sets Torres up as a future Falcon. With the costume leak, it seems that the young man is finally starting on his path as a superhero ... though, as comic book fans know, the exact kind of superhero the new Falcon will be is up for debate.  In the comics, the Torres Falcon is actually a falcon-human…

Deadpool & Wolverine‘s first-look trailer is truly a masterclass in understatement, which is a phrase I never thought I’d use in conjunction with Ryan Reynolds’ vigilante king of vulgarity but there you go. Despite the name in the title, the trailer stopped short of giving away too much of Hugh Jackman’s eagerly anticipated return as Logan, with only the teaser’s final shots depicting him in action. And even then you can only make him out if you slow down the playback speed. To be accurate, a man who strongly…

Marvel Studios has finally announced the cast of The Fantastic Four, after what feels like months of anticipation (and almost five years after the movie was announced in the first place). Unusually, the predictable and buttoned up production studio dropped the news on Wednesday with... an illustrated Valentine depicting Marvel’s first family relaxing at home. And the details of that home already seem to separate The Fantastic Four from most of its Marvel brethren, raising one question... Is The Fantastic Four a period…

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are one of Hollywood’s biggest and most beloved “it” couples, proving that they’ve come a long way since starring in 2011’s Green Lantern together. Reynolds’ superhero career has come a long way, too, seeing as he’ll be back for his long-awaited third outing as Wade Wilson in this summer’s superhero blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine. There’s so much hype for it, in fact, that the other power couple Reynolds is a part of took center stage on Valentine’s Day 2024. Coming just days after…

How has DC managed to drop the ball so much with an IP as rich and ripe with potential as Green Lantern? Following 2011’s Ryan Reynolds-starring flop, Warner Bros. never managed to get another version of the GL Corps on our screens, but not for lack of trying. Thankfully, after movies and TV shows helmed by everyone from Christopher McQuarrie to Seth Grahame-Smith came and went, James Gunn is finally giving us a Lanterns TV series, on its way to Max, as part of his shiny, new DCU. Not much is known about the show to…

A funny thing is happening with The Marvels. Despite enduring no end of negative press during its theatrical run, fans are coming to the much-maligned sequel’s defense now that it’s available on digital. As new viewers discover it and others give it another go from the comfort of their couches, The Marvels‘ reputation looks to be receiving a much-needed boost in MCU fandom circles. Unfortunately, this will do little to turn the movie’s metrics around in the grand scheme of things. With a worldwide gross of a little over…

It may sound harsh, but it’s unfortunately an unequivocal fact — The Marvels is the MCU’s worst movie, at least in terms of box office, by quite some margin thanks to its awful financial performance last November. With a total worldwide gross of just over $200 million — a far cry from Brie Larson’s grand entrance in 2019’s billion dollar-earning Captain Marvel — it stands to reason that this was one MCU movie even hardcore fans didn’t care about. That’s why the reaction the film is getting now it’s officially able to be…

Although much remains up in the air after the topsy-turvy year Marvel had in 2023, there were two things we thought were indisputable fact: the Kang dynasty is over and The Marvels is the MCU’s biggest flop. And then we started hearing that the studio could potentially simply recast Jonathan Majors rather than replace the character, and now even The Marvels might manage to avoid its ruinous reputation if things continue. Although that big ol’ Disney Plus shake-up we knew was coming? Oh yeah, that’s still happening… The…

It has been 15 years since Robert Downey debuted as Iron Man and no matter how beloved it remains, the appearance of Daredevil in 2016 was enough to make many question whether Marvel heroes would benefit from the MCU not shying away from showing extreme content. The answer in 2024 is “No!” The Marvel Cinematic Universe had been on a strictly PG-13 rating for a while now, refraining from showing the violence and gore many of their storylines warranted and would have benefitted from as it would show, not tell, that the…
