There is a lot of armchair quarterbacking about the state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe these days, and what the company is doing right, and what they could be doing better. One critique I haven’t heard much that I think is fair and perhaps more important than it may appear: The early Marvel movies were heavily connected. Each one seemed to lead into the next and characters didn’t disappear for long. Tony Stark showed up in the very next movie, The Incredible Hulk. Hawkeye was in Thor before he was in The Avengers. Captain America flowed directly into The Avengers, and so on. These days it’...

The first person to suggest a Deadpool & Wolverine movie was, somewhat surprisingly, Hugh Jackman. That revelation comes from a new article on the upcoming Marvel film in Vanity Fair. It turns out that Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy were trying to crack the story for a third Deadpool film for a while, and not having any luck. In fact, they were so lost for a direction to take the project, they almost dropped it completely for a while. “We frankly struggled to find a story that felt original and non-derivative of the other two Deadpool movies,” Levy explained. “It had to be deserving of ...

Kevin Feige has confirmed most fans suspicions based on early rumors and artwork: Marvel’s The Fantastic Four movie will be a period piece. Feige revealed that information on the debut episode of The Official Marvel Podcast. When asked whether the retro vibes of the teaser artwork Marvel unveiled a few months ago, like the old school feel of the Fantastic Four’s blue jumpsuits, hinted at the film being set in the past, the typically secretive Feige was unusually blunt in his response: It is a period [piece]. And there was another piece of art we released with Johnny Storm flying in the air and...

Ahead of The Boys’ Season 4 premiere later this week, series creator and showrunner Eric Kripke has revealed the news fans were not hoping to hear: The hit Prime Video show will come to an end following its upcoming fifth season. “#TheBoys Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the FInal Season!” Kripke wrote, adding it was “always” his plan for the show. “I just had to be cagey till I got the final OK from Vought,” Kripke continued. “Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax. Watch Season 4 in 2 DAYS, cause the end has begun!” He also included the ...

Robert Downey Jr. is not ruling out a potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, he says he’s “become surprisingly open-minded” to the idea. That’s what Downey told Jodie Foster in a conversation published on Variety. Asked whether he would ever consider reprising his role as Tony Stark in a new project, Downey replied… It’s just crazily in my DNA. Probably the most like-me character I’ve ever played, even though he’s way cooler than I am. I’ve become surprisingly open-minded to the idea. Between Nyad and [Night Country] and, for me, Oppenheimer and then Sympathizer, it really...

Hey!! Kids Comics This questionably punctuated phrase, found on top the old “spinner racks” located in old drug stores and magazine stands, sums up the appeal — and the limitations — of the first few decades of comic books. Comics were for kids, plain and simple. While the 1960s and ’70s produced some bold comics, it wasn’t until the 1980s that the public’s understanding of comic books began to expand as something more than those colorful little pamphlets for kids. Even that shift occurred, it was still many years before the media inspired by those comics began to encompass more mature themes ...

There are bombs, and then there are bombs like Madame Web, a movie so bad it not only got an 11 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and it is not only Sony’s lowest-grossing Marvel movie by a margin of $60 million, its own star made it very clear she did not care for her own movie while she was supposed to be promoting it during the film’s press tour. That would be Dakota Johnson, who plays the title character. Johnson fired her agents shortly after Madame Web’s trailer premiered — never a great sign! — and then during its press tour she was about as candid about the final product as you’ll ever see f...

It’s been more than three years since Marvel fans saw Paul Bettany’s Vision; the character was left with a massive cliffhanger following the events of WandaVision, which saw his synthetic body reconstituted without its memories or personality. (His traditional green and red coloring was replaced with an all-white color scheme as well.) What happened to this new white Vision has been up in the air since then — but will now be explored in a new Disney+ TV series from Marvel. Variety reports that Marvel has brought in Star Trek: Picard producer Terry Matalas to create the next chapter in Vision’s...

They’re the words X-Men fans have been waiting to hear since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox half a decade ago: Marvel is beginning work on their first X-Men feature film. Although there have been rumblings that Marvel was looking for potential writers to tackle the project late last year, it now appears they’ve settled on their preferred candidate. Deadline reports that Michael Lesslie, who co-wrote the recent film version of The Hunger Games prequel The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, is “in negotiations to pen the movie.” As you would expect, Marvel’s Kevin Feige is producing the film.
