It’s been a good few years for Marvel Studio’s President, Kevin Feige, who’s taken the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) from strength to strength. The MCU is now the most profitable franchise of all time and they basically dominate Hollywood nowadays. It’s difficult to think that Marvel was bankrupt at one point and selling off the…

When Disney bought 20th Century Fox, the first thing I thought was, ‘What’s going to happen to the Deadpool movies?’ Well, the Deadpool writers, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, were on-hand to reveal that Marvel is going to let them carry on making R-rated movies. There was a moment when I genuinely believed that Disney…
Marvel is obviously always looking towards the future, but now is probably one of the most vital planning phases in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since we are in a post-Avengers: Endgame world, and it looks like they’re looking to bring in one of the biggest actors around (literally) in Henry Cavill. I’ve made no secret…
I’ve always wanted to watch a good movie which featured two of my favourite comic book characters – Spider-Man and Venom. What a crossover that would be! Up until this point we haven’t seen that yet. I got very excited when I found out that Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 was going to feature Venom, but…
Deadpool’s writers, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, might have been a bit worried when they heard that Disney’s acquisition of Fox went had gone through. Deadpool more kind of linked to Fox’s X-Men movies, so what does that mean for Ryan Reynolds’ version of the Marvel comics character? The fate of Deadpool in a world…
Avengers: Endgame was easily one of the most kickass films I’ve seen in a while. It was full of punching the air moments, including a moment when Captain America picks up Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, and beat Thanos with it, but Chris Hemsworth wasn’t one of the people cheering. When I was watching the film in…
2018 gave us Venom and people were a bit puzzled by it. It had a pretty decent central performance from Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom, but the film itself was a bit of a mess. The film was directed by Zombieland’s Ruben Fleischer and I was really expecting to be better than it ended up…
Disney Plus will soon be launching in the US and other selected territories. One of the territories no selected so far is the UK and there’s no word yet on when Disney Plus will be crossing the pond. However, we do know which Marvel movies will be on the streaming platform on release day. Funnily…
Disney Plus is coming! Sounds rather ominous, doesn’t it. Sounds a bit like ‘Winter Is Coming’ from Game Of Thrones. But, yes, Disney Plus will be released upon the general public (well, people in North America) later this winter and they’ve just revealed what people should expect on the streaming service when it launches on…
Spider-Man: Far From Home was a pretty big success for Marvel, and it also marked Jake Gyllenhaal’s entrance into the MCU as Mysterio, yet Jake recently revealed how pivotal Tom Holland was in bringing him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If you hadn’t heard, Jake was initially lined up to play Spider-Man in Sam Raimi’s…
People got rather excited and annoyed when legendary director Martin Scorsese criticised Marvel movies likening them to ‘theme parks’ as opposed to actual cinema. His comments, which were published in Empire Magazine, got people rather upset, but if you look at it from his point of view, then his remarks start to make more sense….
It really seems as though Todd Phillips’ DC Comics movie, Joker, has split opinion, and I’m going to come and say it, that’s fine. People are allowed to have their opinion about a movie, and that’s what so brilliant about cinema. People disagree about movies. People have differing tastes, and that can sometimes spark interesting…
Iron Man star, Robert Downey Jr,, is always a good one for a story, and he recently revealed an interesting tale about one of the last times he saw Stan Lee. The Marvel movies star was on The Howard Stern Show and he revealed that it took place on the set of Captain America: Civil…
We already know that Captain Marvel 2 is happening, but there’s still no word yet on when it’ll start filming and Brie Larson doesn’t know when it’ll start. Moving forward it’s looking like Brie’s version of Captain Marvel, a.k.a. Carol Danvers, will be a vital part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She’s already cemented herself…
Imagine what it would be like if The Room’s Tommy Wiseau was allowed to direct Spider-Man 4? Wouldn’t it be the best and worst comic book movie ever made? You bet it would! This is easily the most fun news article I’ve ever had to write because I love The Room and I love Spider-Man….
So, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures finally reached an agreement meaning that Spider-Man will be part of the MCU once again, but what does this news mean for the future of Venom? It was touch and go for a while there, but things have been straightened out and Marvel and Sony will produce a third…
We were all a bit worried there for a second. A few weeks ago, it was revealed that Marvel and Sony Pictures wouldn’t be making a third Spider-Man movie together, which just seemed crazy to me. It was reported that they couldn’t agree on how to split the earnings. It was suggested that Marvel wanted…
Marvel just announced at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con all the movies coming out in Phase 4 of the MCU, so here they all are. Marvel announced a whole load of new films and TV series at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego, and it was a pretty big deal for everyone there, and Marvel…
Comic book writer Mark Millar has revealed that he thinks Taron Egerton should play Wolverine after Hugh Jackman. Taron Egerton is quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s most sought after actors, and there’s a good reason for it: he’s bloody good on screen. The actor first came to most people’s attention when he starred as Eggsy…
Taika Waititi’s next project was supposed to be a live-action version of Akira, but that’s now been put on hold as it’s been confirmed that he’ll be directing Thor 4 next. Thor: Ragnarok is in my mind of the very best films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I know a lot of you might be…
