via Marvel Studios The Sokovia Accords were the driving force behind Captain America: Civil War, which split the Avengers in two and pitted splinter cells led by Tony Stark and Steve Rogers against each other, but the documents haven’t exactly been particularly relevant in the grand scheme of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since then. Obviously, that’s to be expected when a genocidal purple warlord from outer space wiped out half of all living creatures with a snap of his fingers, before the limitless…

First introduced in the long-awaited "Black Widow" solo movie finally released in 2021 after repeated delays, Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) is the wayward adopted sister of original Avenger Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson). A deadly assassin with a serious chip on her shoulder, she popped up again in "Hawkeye," the Disney+ series centered on Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner), which saw her clash with the Avenging Archer, believing him responsible for Natasha's death. But by the end of the series, the two…

It’s brains versus… brains, as social media debates a never-ending topic: who is the MCU’s smartest character? Whether it’s in the comics or on screens both big and small, Marvel has a revolving door of characters dubbed “the world’s smartest person.” The usual suspects tend to be the top inventors of the Marvel-616 Universe: Mister Fantastic, Doctor Doom, Bruce Banner, Hank Pym, and Tony Stark. Between Reddit and Twitter, this has been a raging battle since the MCU was created. One Redditor posed the question…

via Marvel Studios Not every movie is obligated to open with a bang, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe has done a great job of instantly hooking audiences by parachuting them right into the thick of the superhero action, a trend that’s continued through to the franchise’s two most recent releases. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness begins with a fast-paced and frantic opening scene that sets the stage nicely for the temporal shenanigans to come, with Thor: Love and Thunder setting out its stall early…

via Marvel Studios The Marvel Cinematic Universe may have been a staunchly PG-13 operation since its inception 14 years ago, but the franchise has been known to push the boundaries of what you can get away with while still appealing to a broad, family-driven audience. While the roster of Netflix shows reveled in the brutality afforded to them by a TV-MA rating, the mainline MCU hasn’t exactly been shying away from gruesome and grisly moments. Redditors have been digging deep through the back catalogue to put…

Image: Sony We’ve had but a smidgen of symbiote madness in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with fans constantly wondering when it’ll properly show up, and now there’s a theory that Peter Parker’s best friend Ned Leeds could become Venom in future Spider-Man movies. Played by one of the internet’s favorites, Jacob Batalon, the “CEO of Sex” from memes himself, Ned Leeds has seemingly been geared up over several films to be a long-term character arc in Spider-Man’s Marvel Cinematic Universe stories. His best friend…

One of the longstanding complaints about the post-Avengers: Endgame era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that, three years in, it seems to lack direction. To a certain extent, this is a problem fans can only have with the benefit of hindsight: When Iron Man premiered in 2008, the only big promise made was that the Avengers would eventually show up in the franchise. Once they did, in 2012’s The Avengers, that film’s post-credits scene introduced a new apparent focus for the MCU: the arrival of Thanos, who was…

via Marvel Studios Marvel fans came to gather to share their views on which characters in the film franchise are likely to induce the most severe Oedipal and Electra complexes. Dvaderstarlord took to the r/marvelstudios subreddit to ask fans to name who they think are the worst fathers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The top spots were automatically reserved for Ego (Kurt Russell) and Thanos (Josh Brolin). Unsurprisingly, fans recognized Odin (Anthony Hopkins) for his lousy parenting skills in  Thor (2011), …

via 20th Century Fox Nobody was really expecting Kevin Feige to announce anything related to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s X-Men reboot at last weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con, but there’s nonetheless going to be more than a few disgruntled fans should September’s D23 pass without at least a small update on what comes next for the mutants. Of course, the ball was set rolling by the shocking reveal in the Ms. Marvel finale, but after 13 movies spread out across 20 years over at Fox, the superpowered outcasts…
