WARNING: This post contains spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War

After 18 movies over the course of 10 years, Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War has managed to be not only an incredibly entertaining (and depressing) movie, but one that improves on some of the characters we have already come to know and love. That’s an impressive feat especially considering the sheer number of characters featured in the film. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo prove they can not only handle all of these heroes, but expand on their stories the way the solo films could not.

Fans have already spent at least two movies, if not ...

Free Fire and High-Rise director Ben Wheatley is currently working on a “big Marvel film,” according to popular British comedian Bob Mortimer. Wheatley has been a rising star in indie circles, garnering praise for his twisted sense of humor and talent for suspense, so it was perhaps only a matter of time before he landed a big-budget project.

Recent years have seen studios picking up buzzed-about indie directors left and right, with Colin Trevorrow hired for Jurassic World following his feature debut Safety Not Guaranteed, What We Do in the Shadows director Taika Waititi landing Thor: Ragnarok, and Jon Watts ...

Mission: Impossible – Fallout director Christopher McQuarrie has reiterated that he’d be interested in directing Man of Steel 2 if someone extended the invite – especially if that person was Superman actor Henry Cavill. Cavill plays CIA agent August Walker in Fallout: a ruthless killer who faces off against the Mission: Impossible franchise’s fearless special ops agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise). Cavill also sports a mustache in that movie, a detail that – due to complicated filming schedules – led to Superman having a somewhat infamous CGI upper lip in Justice League.

Avengers: Infinity War has made its way onto theaters and with it comes the biggest Big Bad the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever seen. We are speaking about Thanos, of course. The Mad Titan brought the pain and all of his might, as well as the notorious Black Order, to the fight for the Infinity Stones, promising to cause permanent damage to some of our favorite heroes. Many fans expected Thanos to snap his fingers in Avengers: Infinity War, but there are some acts the Titan has done in the comics that are so crazy ...

The Executive Vice President of Gaming for Microsoft, Phil Spencer, has revealed the company will not be focusing on Battle Royale style games for the Xbox One console. This is largely due to the market already being flooded by successful versions of these survival games.

Battle Royale style games are all the rage right now. These Hunger Games-type titles that pitch multiple players against each other in a fight to be the last man standing are consistently landing at the top of the market. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds climbed its way to the top of the ranks, becoming one of the top 10 best-selling video games of all time. Fortnite has done ...

Lupita Nyong’o will play the titular assassin in John Woo’s remake of his own Hong Kong action classic The Killer. In the late ’80s and early ’90s, no action filmmaker was more influential than Hong Kong auteur John Woo. Beginning with 1986’s A Better Tomorrow, Woo unleashed a string of acclaimed films featuring his signature hyper-stylized, balletic approach to violence (not to mention his fascination with doves and shots of people pointing guns at each other’s faces). It seemed everyone in Hollywood then began imitating Woo’s action scenes, though few could match his artful effect.

Woo arguably reached the pinnacle of his art with 1989’s The ...

In an exclusive deal with Netflix, Michael B. Jordan will soon reunite with Black Panther’s screenwriter for Failsafe, an adaptation of the Vault Comics series. If everything goes as planned, Jordan will not only produce the potential blockbuster, but also land the lead role as an insurgent hunter out for vengeance.

In contrast to popular franchises like Marvel Comics and DC Comics, Vault Comics is relatively new. Founded in 2016, the privately owned company released Failsafe’s first issue on April 19, 2017, in which protagonist John Ravane comes to the realization that he didn’t actually eliminate the world’s last nanotech-enhanced super soldier. ...

The Black Order was a big disappointment in Avengers: Infinity War, one of the weakest links in a very well-balanced film. First appearing in 2013’s New Avengers #8 created by Jonathan Hickman, Jerome Opeña, and Jim Cheung, the classic version of the group consists of Corvus Glaive, Black Swan, Ebony Maw, Supergiant, Proxima Midnight, and Black Dwarf. For the film, the team was streamlined to only four members: Glaive, Maw, Midnight, and Cull Obsidian (a dead ringer Black Dwarf)

Officially confirmed during last year’s D23 Expo, the Black Order, re-purposed in the film as Children of Thanos, acts as the intergalactic villain’s henchmen. Following their decimation of Xandar and the Asgardian ship that resulted with ...

Justice League director Zack Snyder wished star Gal Gadot a happy birthday with an image of a deleted scene from the movie. Turning 33 years old on Monday, Gadot has DC fans waiting patiently for her return in 2019’s Wonder Woman 2. And although Justice League turned out to be a critically polarizing film and a disappointment at the box office, it’s hardly because of Gadot, who in the wake of Wonder Woman has emerged as the DC cinematic universe’s brightest star.

With a trailer on the way tomorrow, a new poster for Ant-Man and the Wasp has been released, and it gives us our first unmasked look at Hannah John-Kamen’s villain character – Ghost. We saw very little of Ghost in the previous trailer – just a brief close-up of her masked face, and a shot of her hand as she tried out her super-suit’s abilities (more on them later), so this is the first time we’ve actually seen her face.

A new video sees the cast of Avengers: Infinity War humorously wondering where Ant-Man and the Wasp were during the battle against Thanos. In the build-up to Infinity War, many fans were bothered by the lack of Hawkeye in the marketing for the movie. We were told Hawkeye has his own thing going on, implying that his mission would be spoiler-y if revealed. In the end, however, Hawkeye simply didn’t appear in the film – and he wasn’t the only one, either.

Valkyrie, Korg, Nakia, and several other recent additions to the MCU sat out Avengers: Infinity War, despite their proximity to the action. But along with Hawkeye, the most glaring absence was Ant-Man. The Wasp was never going to be part of the film, something we learned quite some time ago. But Ant-Man’s absence after his involvement in Captain America: Civil ...

Even more impressive is the fact that a year from now, Avengers 4 may surpass Infinity War‘s own record-breaking run.

Regardless of whether or not that actually happens, audiences will be anxious to see what becomes of their favorite characters in Avengers 4, following ...

From his rapper origins to his career as a famous actor, Mark Wahlberg is now one of the biggest stars in the movie industry. However, while his primary focus is acting, Mark also happens to be a co-owner and a founding member of one of the biggest restaurant chains currently active.

Including himself, Mark tackles the restaurant business alongside his brothers Paul and Donnie. In 2011, Mark and his brothers opened what would be the first in a long line of chain restaurants.

Aspiring writers get a chance to fix The Simpsons‘ Apu problem thanks to a new contest launched by film producer and YouTube personality Adi Shankar. The venerable animated sitcom The Simpsons just made history by passing Gunsmoke to become the scripted series with the most-ever episodes. Lately however, the conversation around The Simpsons hasn’t focused on its admirable longevity, but rather on the possibility that the long-lived show has finally grown out-of-touch with the culture at large.

Much of the conversation about The Simpsons‘ arguable lack of perspective has centered on the character of Apu, the Indian-American convenience store owner voiced by Hank Azaria. In his documentary The Problem With ...

Avengers: Infinity War tried to revolutionize the Marvel Cinematic Universe by introducing real stakes, but its bold ending falls short. It definitely hits an emotional mark, yet the ultimate feeling is somewhat hollow.

That’s not to say Infinity War isn’t an event. Fans shivered with anticipation at the prospects this film hinted at, and ven the most cynical critics and journalists agreed to keeping the films secrets locked down until the general public could see the thrills for themselves.

It’s a widely known fact that for an actor to portray a character from DC comics – whether it be an uber powerful alien who defies all laws of physics or a thuggish, fiendishly clever clown – they’ve got to communicate an unmistakable toughness.

This can mean all kinds of things– either the toughness must unfailingly endure as a shining example in a dreary world or the toughness must frighten the audience.

Some actors are able to reach this level of toughness by going above and beyond the usual gym work and diet requirements needed to attain these godly superhuman bodies.

Others have ...

Despite rumors to the contrary, Kevin Feige says the title for Avengers 4 will not be Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet. When Marvel announced back in 2014 that Avengers 3 and 4 would be titled Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 & 2, comic fans knew just what was in store for them. While Thanos and the Infinity Stones had barely been teased at that point, the subtitle of the films pointed towards an arc in the comics that saw the Mad Titan wipe out half of the universe before various heroes and villains had to unite to stop him. But the real start of that story was The Infinity Gauntlet.

Avengers: Infinity War set a new record for largest worldwide opening at the box office this weekend, but its figure would have been substantially higher if its Chinese premiere wasn’t delayed. Over the years, Marvel Studios has become notorious for staggering their release dates around the globe, meaning different countries received their films at different times. For Infinity War, things were different. In an effort to combat the spread of spoilers, Marvel debuted their epic crossover in just about all parts of the world by the end of April. There were, however, a couple of notable exceptions. Chief among ...

One of the most fascinating twists in Avengers: Infinity War involves Doctor Strange and Tony Stark. Early on in the film, Strange insists that he will sacrifice anyone and anything in order to prevent Thanos getting his hands on the Time Stone. Then, later in the movie, Strange actually bargains with Thanos – he offers him the Time Stone if he leaves Tony Stark alive. It’s an unexpected moment, and you see that shock on Stark’s pained face. Why has this happened?

The character became the main antagonist of The Avengers and was given something of a redemptive arc in Thor: The Dark World.

The true crime series explore the 2003 death of Brian Wells, a 46-year-old who made his living delivering pizzas for 30 years. On August 28, 2003, he showed up outside an Eerie, Pennsylvania television station with a customized metal collar bomb around his neck, and he soon received instructions for a bizarre scavenger hunt and robbery. The plan went horribly wrong, as the subsequent investigation into the event revealed. The infamous Pizza Bomber incident became a media sensation and has been the source material for investigative broadcast reports, long-form essays, and podcasts ever since. Now, the case will receive the Netflix series treatment.

The final trailer for Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger has arrived, teasing the struggle of the show’s heroes and the dark destiny awaiting them. Marvel has had a busy (and successful) year already with the continuation of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the season 2 premiere of Jessica Jones and the record-breaking Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther.

Marvel originally had plans to bring Cloak & Dagger to the big screen but ultimately wound up adapting the comics series for television instead.

A new fan-made trailer evokes nostalgia as it pays tribute to the original Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. It’s been three years since fans saw the core Avengers together on the big screen in Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. Since then, the team has parted ways with Thor and Bruce Banner ending up in space, while Tony Stark and Steve Rogers got into a conflict that ultimately led into the team’s disbandment. This left the Earth at its most vulnerable. Little did they know that the biggest threat that will face was just lurking in the shadows – and now that Thanos is here, the MCU needs its best and brightest superheroes to save the day yet again.

We expected Avengers: Infinity War to break records in its first weekend, but it still managed to over-perform. Marvel Studios moved up their nineteenth movie so that it could launch worldwide this past weekend. The move was to prevent spoilers (and there are plenty in Infinity War), but it also gave Marvel the opportunity to earn a massive amount of money in a very short amount of time. Early projections for the film assured it would gross at least $200 million during its U.S. opening weekend, and those estimates only grew higher as the movie’s premiere date drew closer.

But while the author mostly consulted on the first season of the show, he’s taking a more hands-on approach this time around due to some creative shake-ups.

Marvel Cinematic Universe fans know these powerful objects as Infinity Stones, but way back when they debuted in Marvel Comics in the 1970s, they were known by another name: Soul Gems.

The gems were introduced as pieces of an ancient cosmic being who died as a result of loneliness. In death, their energy broke apart into six pieces, creating gems that held domain over specific forces: reality, time, space, power, mind, and soul.

When the six gems were united, they created a feedback loop of power that allowed them to not only increase one another’s potential, but increase the abilities of the one using them.

Deadpool shows off his skills on the stripper pole and Peter warns about the dangers of melanoma in a couple of new TV spots for this year’s irreverent superhero sequel Deadpool 2. Directed by David Leitch (Atomic Blonde), the movie sees Ryan Reynolds squeeze back into that tight black-and-red suit and form a new super-group called X-Force, in an effort to save a mutant kid who has been targeted by time-traveling cyborg Cable.

In addition to being a follow-up to the massive surprise hit of 2016, Deadpool 2 will also serve as the lead-in to a spin-off X-Force movie written and directed by Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods). While we can assume that the team members featured in Deadpool 2 – Domino, Zeitgeist, Bedlam, Shatterstar and, er, Peter – will return for X-Force, we’re still waiting for confirmation on most ...

Avengers: Infinity War doesn’t just bring the many threads of the Marvel Cinematic Universe together, it manages to make up for some of the studio’s biggest mistakes on the way. The epic team-up culmination of the MCU is great on its own merits, make no mistake, but just as Thanos enters the fray with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes fractured after Captain America: Civil War and strewn across the cosmos, neither is Infinity War entering a totally balanced arena. Much of that is how its narrative is informed by eighteen other movies – the film uses assumed familiarity with the previous entries to great effect – but there ...

Retro gaming fans are in for a treat as ’80s classic Fireball Island makes a comeback in a big way.

For those who ever played the original, 2-4 players were sent on a perilous trip to a tropical island and were forced to survive the volcanic eruptions of the idolized Vul-Kar. Spitting marbles instead of actual chunks of molten rock, Vul-Kar proved to a nuisance as gamers were sent flying off the board in their quest to capture the island’s jewel and escape to safety. That was then and this is now thanks to a 21st Century update.

Avengers: Infinity War mostly balances humor with action and drama, but the Starbucks joke is one of the most jarring moments in the movie. Since Infinity War kicks off the beginning of the end to the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, the movie is tasked with uniting superheroes from across the franchise for the battle against Thanos. However, the Avengers and their allies split off into smaller groups and the movie jumps from one storyline to the other. So, while Captain America’s storyline in Infinity War sees him trying ...
