Playing a Marvel hero presents its own set of difficulties. These expectations put immense pressure on the actors to focus more on their physique as well as the storyline of the movie. Adding to this is Paul Rud, whose stringent diet for Ant-Man 3 demonstrated his dedication to the role.

When compared to the extraordinarily high standards of the MCU, the film fell short of showcasing its brilliance on screen. While the fans might have not liked the superhero movie to that extent, the terrible diet and exercise routine that Rudd went through to prepare for his character proved that no one could despise him.

On Friday, the first teaser trailer for ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ was released, generating highly polarized reactions. Fans are sharply divided, either loving or hating it for various reasons. Some object to Sam Wilson taking on the mantle of Captain America, while others are concerned about Sabra’s inclusion due to the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
However, the brief glimpse of Thaddeus Ross’ Red Hulk excited many fans. The trailer showcased the Red Goliath in action, but opinions on the CGI were mixed—viewers either found it terrible or excellent.
It’s no secret that the MCU has faced criticism for its CGI, with ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ and ‘The Marvels’ featuring notable instances of subpar effects. Some fans argue that the Red Hulk scene in the new ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ trailer suffers from similar issues. However, others find solace in knowing that the film is still in post-production,...

2023’s The Marvels was critically and commercia the worst MCU movie thus far. It was the sequel to Captain Marvel, and brought Carol Danvers together with Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan for an intergalactic adventure that brought them face-to-face with the Kree.

The movie failed to make a profit, but had a post-credit scene that bears a range of consequences with respect to the Multiverse, if used in a forthcoming project. The scene featured Monica Rambeau, or Binary, sporting a quantum band, which opens a range of narrative possibilities for the overall MCU.
Some fans on Reddit only recently came across the scene, but seem resigned to the possibility that it might not pay off for several years, if indeed it does.

Warning: This article will make several references to varsity-level sex acts.
In Tim Miller's 2016 film "Deadpool," the title superhero, also known as Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), meets and romances the charismatic and beautiful Vanessa (Morena Baccarin). Wade and Vanessa are able to bond over their mutual trauma and even compare bitter childhood memories as part of their courtship. "Your crazy matches my crazy," Wade says. They also soon learn that they are 100% sexually compatible during a year-long montage (set to Neil Sedaka's "Calendar Girl") amusingly reveals their varied bedroom antics. They quickly incorporate themes and costumes into sex play, customized to match the holiday; they have Easter sex, Christmas sex, and even Lent sex.
On International Women's Day (March 8), Vanessa gets Wade on his hands and knees and dons a certain strap-on appliance, enthusiastically penetrating him from behind. Wade is game to participate, although he doesn't seem wholly enthused by the activity.

Is this a photo shoot or a bawdy stand-up comedy routine?
When you’re hanging out with Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy, the team behind this summer’s “Deadpool & Wolverine,” it can be hard to know the difference. Instead of focusing on getting camera ready, the three men are cracking themselves up in a game of “Can you top this outrageous punchline?”
Given that they’re here to sell a raunchy, boundary-pushing sequel to the most profane superhero franchise in history, it’s not surprising that many of the jokes are Nsfw. Take the moment when 47-year-old Reynolds, who stars in the film with Jackman, stands on a chair for a photo with his crotch hovering over writer-director Levy’s head. “What is happening?” Levy exclaims in feigned horror. Reynolds shrugs. “You’ve never been teabagged before?” he says.

Jim Carrey has essayed a slew of iconic roles in his career as an actor. Known for his classic comic timing and panache for pulling his face into weird expressions, the actor seemed tailor-made for the role of Big Head, Dark Horse Comics’ most well-known supervillain. However, what really seems like a feat that Big Head would totally pull, the character was almost set to make his MCU debut not long before Avengers: Endgame.

Universal’s ballerina vampire horror movie Abigail arrives July 9 on Blu-ray and DVD from Universal, and we’ve learned today that the horror-comedy is also headed to Peacock.
Sink your teeth into Abigail, streaming exclusively on Peacock July 19.
In addition to Abigail, Peacock will also be exclusively streaming additional Universal Pictures horror favorites, including Lisa Frankenstein and M3GAN (+ Unrated).
Meagan Navarro wrote in her positive review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Radio Silence’s ballerina vampire movie is a bloody blast.” Her review continued, “It’s savagely inventive in terms of its vampiric gore, offering a thrill ride with sharp, pointy teeth.”
And yes, Abigail takes place in the same universe as Radio Silence’s Ready or Not!
In Abigail, “After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight.

The episode of "The Simpsons" called "Homer's Enemy" is one of the most memorable — and darkest — episodes of the series. It features a new character named Frank Grimes (Hank Azaria), recently hired at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Grimes is stern, serious, intelligent, and worked his way into a well-paying nuclear power gig after struggling out of childhood poverty. He has an unshakeable work ethic, and a deep concern for safety. Naturally, when he meets a feckless, incompetent boob like Homer Simpson (Dan Castellaneta), Grimes instantly becomes incensed. How can this fool, Grimes felt, have a successful job and a loving family, even when he is obviously incompetent to a life-threatening degree?
Homer's incompetence even gets Grimes in trouble. When Homer almost drinks a glass of sulfuric acid, Grimes slaps it out of his hand, accidentally dissolving part of a nearby wall. Grimes receives a pay cut for destroying the wall.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is one of the most important men in Hollywood. While the Marvel Cinematic Universe had a bit of a down year in 2023 with "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and "The Marvels" disappointing at the box office, it's still the biggest franchise in the business and he's the man at the top of the pyramid. He's got a lot to worry about, from the much-anticipated series "Daredevil: Born Again" to the seemingly cursed "Blade" movie reboot. But even Feige has his favorites and, looking at what's coming down the pipeline, he seems to be most excited about "The Fantastic Four."
Feige was recently a guest on the very first episode of "The Official Marvel Podcast," and the interview covered a range of topics. However, when asked what excites him most about the upcoming movie and TV projects in The Multiverse Saga, the executive name-checked a handful...

It is pure alchemy when a show like The Bear not only entices viewers with its mouthwatering storyline but also seasons its cast with a sprinkle of stardom. Certainly, in its unrelenting quest to serve up a stellar second season, Christopher Storer’s series introduced one of Hollywood’s finest, Jamie Lee Curtis.

Taking on the mantle of Donna Berzatto, she donned the role of the mother of Jeremy Allen White’s Carmy. Meanwhile, the shadow of what-ifs loomed as Michelle Pfeiffer, once in the running for the role, bypassed the opportunity, leaving fans to ruminate over her menu of roles not taken that already included flicks like The Silence of the Lambs and Pretty Woman.
As 2024 Emmy experts make their predictions, there is a growing chorus of support for Curtis’ The Bear role, which is increasing the likelihood that an Emmy will be awarded.

Marvel has, in recent years, treaded through difficult waters. The box-office failure of some major movies such as Ant-Man 3 and The Marvels, along with the critical failure of movies such as Guardians of the Galaxy 3, in addition to the huge Jonathan Majors controversy, means that there has been plenty of speculation about where the franchise is headed next.
Amidst this, comes Deadpool & Wolverine, set to be the stepping stone for mutants in the MCU, and expected to become the knight in shining armor for Kevin Feige’s MCU. Fans will undoubtedly not forgive the MCU for messing up the X-Men live-action(s) in any way, especially after the blinding success that X-Men ‘97 proved to be.

Bob Iger recently received a special Snow White Service award from Disney for his nearly 50 years of service. The businessman shared a photo of the award on his private social media account, expressing gratitude to his colleagues and sharing some wisdom.
“Success still hinges on one thing: great storytelling,” says Iger, who joined ABC in 1974. Though he received the service award, he hasn’t technically been at Disney for 50 years yet. Iger joined the company in 1974 and served in various roles before becoming CEO in 2005, a position he held until 2020. He stepped down as CEO in 2020 but remained as executive chairman until late 2021 to oversee the transition to Bob Chapek. Iger officially retired in 2021 and was succeeded by Susan Arnold. However, Disney reinstated him in late 2022 to replace Chapek, about whom Iger had reportedly voiced concerns behind the scenes.

“Deadpool & Wolverine” is primed to tear into the summer box office.
The Disney and Marvel sequel, which unites Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth with Hugh Jackman’s grumpy mutant, is on track to open to between $160 million to $165 million when it releases in three weeks. Of course, those numbers come with some caveats (and plenty of upside). It’s worth noting that this tracking is hitting before the bulk of the studio’s marketing materials inundate moviegoers, so interest in the film could keep building. It’s also hard to accurately project ticket sales this far in advance of a film’s debut, but these initial figures show how intensely fanboys and fangirls are anticipating this buddy act.
If the film does open to this level, it will mark the best launch of 2024 as well as the best-ever bow for an R-rated film. It also comes after Marvel,...

Though we all fondly recall Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino as the dashing spy parents (Gregorio and Ingrid), some of the franchise’s star-studded appearances might just catch you off guard upon rewatching. From Selena Gomez’s early cameo to Sylvester Stallone’s haunting villain, Spy Kids hid a treasure trove of talents in plain sight.

Just six months ago, Jonathan Majors was convicted of domestic assault and harassment, but that didn’t stop the Hollywood Unlocked from honoring him with the Perseverance Award at the annual Impact Awards on Friday night in Beverly Hills.
“I’m imperfect. I have shortcomings — I acknowledge them,” Majors said, fighting tears his during lengthy remarks after being presented with the award by self-help guru and inspirational speaker Iyanla Vanzant.
It was an emotional moment for the actor, who took the stage following a sizzle reel that captured some of the “Creed III” and “Lovecraft Country” star’s career highs and personal lows, but he was greeted with a standing ovation from the starry crowd, led by Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee.
Majors continuously denied all allegations throughout his 19-day trial, but in April, he was sentenced to one year of domestic violence counseling. Per the ruling of a NY judge,...

With the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe at our dispense, the audience barely has to wait before the studio juggernaut spawns a project leading on to the next Phase or the next big event. With 2025 fast approaching, the big event is set to be Avengers 5 – which, due to the faults of the parties involved, is now about to happen with or without Jonathan Majors’s Kang the Conqueror.

While that premise is no longer valid or feasible, the studio has turned to other IPs within its existing catalog – and we may finally know who it is.

Jonathan Majors is one of the best stars of this generation, and critics have immensely praised him for his stellar performances in his films. The actor was set to become the villain in Phase 5 and Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after making his debut in Loki Season 1 as He Who Remains. He also gave a brief cameo as Kang The Conqueror in Ant-Man 3.

However, as he made his official debut as the villain in Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, fans were not blown away by his performance as everyone had hoped, because of a ton of reasons. Later, his life was turned upside down as he was convicted of assault and harassment on his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.

Jonathan Majors has landed his first film role since he was convicted in 2023 of domestic assault and fired from Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. He will star in the independent revenge thriller “Merciless,” to be directed by Martin Villeneuve.
Martin Villeneuve, the younger brother of “Dune” filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, confirmed the news of Majors’ casting to Variety. Written by Frank Hannah, the film follows a CIA investigator who goes to troubling lengths after the woman he loves is overpowered by sinister forces. It’s expected to be filmed in Saskatchewan in late fall.
Majors was sentenced in April to one year of domestic violence counseling after he was found guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend. Per the Manhattan judge who presided over the two-week trial, Majors must complete a 52-week in-person program in Los Angeles. So, it’s unclear how it will overlap with the shooting schedule for “Merciless.

Kevin Feige and the Marvel franchise have given their fans a grand cinematic experience through the introduction of the MCU. Beginning in 2008 with Iron Man, the narratives which have been divided into films and series belonging to 6 phases, are now currently in Phase 5 now with a whole host of exciting projects lined up.
One of the unique features of the MCU has been its effort to link future plot lines through mid and post credit scenes in their various projects. But some of these segments from certain films and television series do not seem to be leading to any concrete development in the future storylines of the franchise.

“Deadpool & Wolverine” will enjoy a release in mainland Chinese cinemas on July 26, simultaneous with its North American outing. And, despite hailing from what is arguably Marvel’s most adult franchise, the film will incur only “minimal cuts” for its China release.
All foreign films entering China require permission to be imported, to clear censorship and must be allocated a release date by local authorities.
The Film Bureau-approved China release on July 26 was announced Monday morning local time in China via Marvel’s local Weibo (social media) account and subsequently confirmed by Disney.
In a separate Weibo post, Marvel said that star Hugh Jackman (who has a considerable following in China), Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy will be in China for promotional duties on July 2.
While Disney and Marvel were not specific about the censor-imposed edits to the film, the cuts were reported to be “minimal and are due to violence,...

For a long while, the Marvel Cinematic Universe had a reputation for not only producing smash successes at the box office, but movies that scored "Fresh" on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes too. This set the MCU apart from its competitors like the DC Extended Universe, which earned marks as erratic as the movies themselves, and the routinely-panned "Transformers" films.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is proud of the MCU achieving critical success alongside its commercial strides. As he told Vanity Fair in 2017:
"[Rotten Tomatoes sends] this little Lucite, certified fresh thing with the name of the movie on it. We got them lined up around here. We take pride in it. There are cases where audiences and critics are not aligned. But I think, for the most part, they are, and I like it when people like our movies."

Former Marvel star Jonathan Majors will be honored with the Perseverance Award at the upcoming Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards, just months after being convicted in a domestic violence trial.
The embattled 34-year-old actor is set to receive the award, which is “given to an individual who has shown that no matter what adversity they face, they will continue to aspire to inspire,” during the June 21 event in Los Angeles, event organizers announced Wednesday.
The decision to fete Majors comes after he was found guilty in December 2023 on one count of assault and one count of harassment stemming from a dispute with his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. A Manhattan judge ruled in April that Majors must complete a 52-week batterer’s intervention program and continue mental health therapy, though he avoided prison time.

After the release of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,’ the superhero world was rocked by allegations against Jonathan Majors. He played Victor Timely in ‘Loki’ Season 1 and Kang the Conqueror in ‘Quantumania,’ set to be the next big villain in the Multiversal Saga.
Majors’ career has declined since his arrest in March 2023 for allegedly assaulting a woman, rumored to be his girlfriend. He was dropped from several projects, his manager and PR team quit, and several commercials featuring him were pulled.
This marked the end of Majors’ role as MCU’s Kang the Conqueror, leaving the studio in a tough spot. They had built up Kang as the main villain of the Multiversal Saga through both seasons of ‘Loki’ and ‘Quantumania’ but now had to drop their main actor.
Since then, rumors have spread that the studio wants to put Kang on hold for a while, with talks of recasting the character.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe currently has a cloud of uncertainty looming over it after Jonathan Majors’ dismissal. Reports about the fate of Kang the Conqueror come and go, but nothing seems to be solid just yet. There are also reports that other big bad villains, including Doctor Doom, may replace the character altogether in the superhero universe.

It seems like the Marvel Cinematic Universe is back on track with Deadpool & Wolverine. The hype for the film is ever so high, as the movie is set to make several changes in the official MCU timeline. One of them is the formal assimilation of mutants and finally bringing the X-Men home after years of waiting.
X-Men [Credit: 20th Century Studios]In Marvel comics, stories involving the X-Men and Avengers have often run parallel to each other. Hence why we often see these two groups teaming up and even having members from one team helping out the other. With the MCU already establishing the Avengers more than a decade ago, fans are left to wonder how they are going to bring the X-Men to the forefront now.
However, there might be a simple solution to that, which involves Kang the Conqueror and the Tva.

While the Marvel Cinematic Universe has dominated the superhero genre in recent years, the film that ruled fans’ hearts even before the Avengers assembled, was Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man. Starring Tobey Maguire alongside Kirsten Dunst and Willem Dafoe, the film sparked a huge interest among the audience after its original trailer was attached to screenings of numerous films’ in 2001, including Jurassic Park III and Rush Hour.

Evangeline Lilly’s acting career has spanned 22 years, and in this period, she has worked in films like Real Steel, Crisis, The Hobbit, and many more films. However, her most iconic role would be that of Hope Van Dyne, which she has been portraying in Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man trilogy and Avengers: Endgame.

The role has not only earned her fame and love from fans around the world but also made her a critically praised name in the MCU. But what’s more surprising is that even though she has worked in four Marvel films, she has a remarkably modest net value compared to her peers.
Sadly, after entertaining movie enthusiasts for so many years, she has decided to step away from it all to follow her dharma.

Evangeline Lilly is now a retired actress, a desire she first shared on the sets of Lost more than a decade back. Lilly stepping down from the film industry could also mean that she’s no longer available for the role of Hope van Dyne in the MCU. While the future of the character is currently undecided in the MCU, Lilly’s retirement could open doors for another actress.

Avengers, re-assemble!
Variety has reported that Shawn Levy, reliable director of “Night at the Museum,” “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian,” and “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” is “in the mix” to helm the next “Avengers” superhero team-up for Marvel. In late July, his promised-to-be-potty-mouthed R-rated “Deadpool & Wolverine” will hit theaters and, clearly, Marvel’s leader, Kevin Feige, liked what he saw.
Marvel is in desperate need of a course correction after some wobbly entries like “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “The Marvels,” and “Thor: Love and Thunder.” There was once a time when the Marvel opening logo was enough to print money and create cultural resonance, but those days have begun to wane, due in part to a glut of Disney+ streaming shows and the fact that “Avengers: Endgame” really did seem like a nice place to end the story.

Among Marvel Studios’ upcoming releases, the ‘Avengers’ series stands out as the most anticipated. With two new installments in development, the journey to the fifth film has been eventful. Following Jonathan Majors’ dismissal in December due to allegations of third-degree assault against his former partner, the film’s direction has become uncertain.
Internally, the title shifted from ‘Kang Dynasty’ to ‘Avengers 5,’ leaving doubts about Kang’s role as the main antagonist. To provide clarity amidst the confusion, we’ve crafted this guide to consolidate all current information about the movie.
Much of the plot remains shrouded in mystery
‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ was intended to debut Kang the Conqueror into the MCU and position him as the primary antagonist for the forthcoming phases, akin to Thanos.

Out of all the movies on Marvel Studios’ release schedule, the ‘Avengers’ franchise is undoubtedly the most exciting one. We know that two new ‘Avengers’ movies are in development, and when it comes to the fifth installment in the franchise, we’ve been through a lot in the last few months.
Majors’ was fired back in December after being found guilty of third-degree assault against his former girlfriend, and since then, the direction of the movie is confusing, to say the least. The movie internally changed its name from ‘Kang Dynasty’ to ‘Avenger 5,’ and we can’t even be sure that Kang is the main villain still. This is why, we decided to compile this guide, to quickly and efficiently summarize everything we know about the movie so far.
The plot is in large part unknown

Evangeline Lilly wants Hollywood to lose her number.
The “Lost” alum shared that she is “stepping into [her] dharma,” much in line with the hit ABC series, and opting to step away from acting. Lilly included a 2006 video in which she said she aspired to be a “retired actress” by 2016 and focus on humanitarian work instead.
“Thank you @lost_theothers for digging up this (nearly twenty-year-old) footage of me speaking out my dreams under (what looks like) a full moon,” Lilly captioned the video. “And thank you to @femalepoetssociety for digging up this (much older) footage of the incredible #mayaangelou perfectly articulating how I feel about life.”

Evangeline Lilly announced on Instagram that she has stepped away from Hollywood for the foreseeable future and “might return one day.” Lilly, best known for playing Kate Austen in ABC’s drama series “Lost,” re-shared a video recorded in 2006 in which she expressed her desire to be a “retired actress” by the next decade.
“Ten years from now, where would I like to be? I am terrified to admit this to the rest of the acting world but ideally 10 years from now I’d like to be a retired actress and have a family,” Lilly said in the video. “I’d like to be writing and influencing people’s lives in humanitarian ways.”

There has been a significant drop in the VFX works of major films, including the MCU. Fans have often trolled these movies or scenes with bad CGI, and some wonder why such a drop happened. A fan on X shared an image of Pirates of the Caribbean‘s CGI work side-by-side with some of the latest sloppy work in the MCU. One VFX artist came out with an explanation that makes it clear skills/technology aren’t the issue here.

Within the ever-growing universe of our living room screens, in a galaxy not too far away, a question as old as the celebrated Star Wars seems to be taking place: Are the industry titans of narrative—Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars—dipping into the ‘Sarlacc’ hole of overexposure to content on Disney+?
Well, it’s a question on the minds of many fans who have witnessed these once groundbreaking franchises seemingly dilute their magic with a relentless release schedule & storylines that have crumbled under the weight of corporate strategy.

Yes, despite the aura of nostalgia and charm that these brands exude, Disney+’s strategy of a 45-day theatrical release window seems to whisper a siren’s song to theatergoers, urging them to stay home and wait for streaming—a trend contributing to the silent waning of the theater tradition.

When the Russo brothers were asked about the sub-par run of recent entrants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they had a categorical response – it was fatigue. For the past few years, the word superhero fatigue has been the buzz word. But the Russo brothers believe it to be something more, a fatigue with movies across the board. With the advent and multiplication of content, they believe that movies are beginning to lose their charm. But The Garfield Movie might have shown them the mirror.

Portraying a Marvel superhero is no easy feat. Not only do actors have the shoulder the expectations of millions and millions of rabid fans, but they have to try and maintain the physical standards of, well, superheroes. They don't just have to be fit, but have to be unrealistically muscular and lean, which leads to all kinds of intense dieting, harsh workouts, and possibly even steroid use. Sure, they often wear costumes that are specifically tailored to make them look extra ripped, but there are almost always scenes showing off a bit of skin, which means a whole lot of hard work behind-the-scenes.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, "Ant-Man" star Paul Rudd revealed that he had to undergo an extremely restrictive diet while training to play Scott Lang, a.k.a. the titular Ant-Man. That meant eating very specific foods with lots of protein and limiting his intake...

A live-action Dungeons & Dragons TV series was in development for Paramount+ and had even been given an eight-episode, straight-to-series order by the streaming service, but Deadline now reports that the project is no longer moving forward.
However, the Dungeons & Dragons series isn’t entirely dead, as Hasbro Entertainment will be shopping it to other potential buyers. It’s also said the series will receive a creative update which will be tackled by a new creative team. The version which was sold to Paramount+ was overseen by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Skyscraper), who wrote the pilot script and was going to direct the first episode. Drew Crevello (WeCrashed) was brought on to serve as executive producer and showrunner last year.
The report states that Hasbro remains committed to the Dungeons & Dragons TV series, meaning that it will likely be a matter of when, not if, the project emerges elsewhere.

Superheroes have been a popular part of the film genre and an essential part of the entertainment culture for a long time. However, if you look at it, there is not one aspect that makes this particular genre of film so popular. In addition to being entertaining to watch, MCU films also add a layer of complexity to the intricate storyline with its ever-growing franchise.

It comes as no surprise that Christopher Nolan, who directed films like Inception and Interstellar, was ahead of his time. From changing times to superhero movies, Nolan is regarded as one of the most esteemed directors in Hollywood, and rightfully so. His statements ring true even after 7 years!
