Brie Larson reacts with amazement to a giant ad for Captain Marvel that Marvel Studios has put up in New York City’s Times Square. This March, the MCU will finally play host to its first film led solely by a female superhero, Captain Marvel. It’ll be a grand introduction too, as those involved with the MCU have firmly established that Carol Danvers’ alter ego will be the most powerful hero in the entire franchise to date....

This Page: Avengers Box Office History The Avengers At The Box Office It’s easy to forget now, but the MCU had rather humble beginnings during the Phase 1 days. With the exception of the first two Iron Man installments, none of the studio’s films were exactly world-beaters commercially. The Incredible Hulk remains the franchise’s worst performer with only $134.8 million domestically, while the first Thor ($181 million) and Captain America ($176....

Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has confirmed that Captain Marvel will indeed feature the Kree-Skrull War from the comics. After yesterday’s series of Hall H panels at San Diego Comic-Con, most fans are still trying to sift through all of the announcements and trailers that were presented. For Marvel fans, the double shot of D23 last weekend and this weekend’s panel has meant a lot of new insight into the MCU....

Captain Marvel co-director Ryan Fleck confirms the film has wrapped shooting in California and has only two weeks left of production. Right now, Marvel Studios is preparing for their third and final film of the year with Ant-Man and the Wasp. The movie is poised to do even better than its predecessor as the early Ant-Man 2 reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Though the movie is somewhat isolated from its peers and takes place before Avengers: Infinity War, elements of its small universe will have big ramifications for the MCU....

Charlize Theron is flattered by fans who think she’d make a great female James Bond – but she thinks she’s too old for the role. Theron has proven remarkably versatile as an actress, jumping from weighty dramas to silly comedies with ease. She received a whole new fanbase thanks to her work in Mad Max: Fury Road, where she played Furiosa. It was her character who drove the story forward, and she kicked as much ass – if not more – than Tom Hardy’s Max....

Apple’s supply chain is being badly hit by COVID-19 lockdowns in China, with the situation getting worse, say analysts. It follows Apple production being halted at three key suppliers, affecting iPhone, iPad, and Mac assembly. This has already seen shipping dates slip for build-to-order MacBook Pro models. The worst-case scenario could see iPhone production falling behind by as many as 10 million units … Background While most countries are aiming to live with COVID-19 to a greater or lesser extent, China is instead attempting to eradicate the infection – likely in part because locally produced vaccines are less effective than those used in other countries....

As moviegoers are well aware, today is Star Wars Day. For years, May the 4th has been a day to celebrate the galaxy far, far away and all it means to so many people. This year, in preparation of the holiday, Lucasfilm partnered with CrowdRise to launch a new Force for Change charity campaign. Introduced back in 2014 when Star Wars: The Force Awakens was still in production, the initiative has proven to be very beneficial for a variety of causes around the globe - including $10 million raised last year during the buildup to the Episode VII premiere....

After news emerged that Jared Leto’s Joker will get his own standalone movie within the Suicide Squad universe, Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista posted on Twitter that his character Drax should also get his own solo movie. With the future of the DCEU looking somewhat murky, Warner Bros. and DC appear to have settled on at least one strategy: cranking out movies centered around villains. Already in development is a Birds of Prey movie featuring Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn....

Warner Bros. has announced “Justice League Day,” including a full list of goodies for fans. As we slowly inch our way towards the release of the much-anticipated superhero team-up from DC Films, the marketing for the film has been also kicked up a notch to keep fan excitement going until the movie hits theaters. Part of Warner’s elaborate promotional campaign for Justice League includes the so-called Justice League Day. The event scheduled on Novembers 18 - just a day after the movie rolls out, will be “a celebration of the most iconic Super Hero team in pop culture history” as they all come together for the first time on the big screen....

Hitting the superhero scene like the shockwave of one of her atomic blasts, the lesser-known mutant Negasonic Teenage Warhead became the unexpected scene-stealer of the willfully wild Deadpool. Texas-born ingénue Brianna Hildebrand famously strode into the audition with the bold buzz-cut that became Negasonic’s signature and won the devotion of Deadpool fans from her first snarkily arched eyebrow. So it’s no surprise that Hildebrand is poised to reprise her smirking superheroine in Deadpool 2....

After two long years, hardcore Destiny 2 fans finally solved the Warmind Rasputin Alternate Reality Game (ARG) puzzle. Bungie Entertainment developed the Rasputin Chamber Puzzle ARG to promote the release of the Warmind expansion in May 2018. Destiny 2 players noticed mysterious symbols around Rasputin’s chamber that appeared to be a series of key nodes. Once players realized the symbols were somehow related to each other, the community excitedly worked to solve the puzzle....

Disney TV’s massive lineup for San Diego Comic-Con 2019 features a lot of Fox television shows. Disney began showing interest in buying 20th Century Fox as early as 2017, but it took several years of tedious complications and legal challenges for the deal to happen. However in March, Fox completed its distribution of shares, more or less making the acquisition complete. Now that Disney owns Fox, it also means it owns Fox properties, in particular, some of the most popular shows on TV....

George Lucas is a master storyteller. His creations have permeated every corner of the pop-culture landscape, and inspired countless other artists to fill Lucas’s creative cosmos with new stories, settings, and characters. Even before Disney took over Star Wars and created a new multi-media canon, the Star Wars Expanded Universe was an insanely popular well of content. But what about the Expanded Universe of Indiana Jones? Though much smaller in scope than Star Wars, Indiana Jones is still a pretty epic property....

Young Sheldon will connect even more directly with The Big Bang Theory in Season 12. Set in 1989, Young Sheldon is, of course, a prequel to the long-running sitcom, focusing on the childhood of the parent show’s breakout character: Sheldon Cooper. Already renewed for a second season, Young Sheldon has proven to be a hit in its own right, earning on average around 11 million viewers per episode. It’s also received its share of acclaim for remaining distinct while also connecting to the original....

It’s kind of hard to believe, but MTV’s Catfish is still going strong in 2019, almost a decade after the documentary that inspired the series first premiered. Even after all these years, people are still getting fooled all over the world when it comes to online dating and catfishing profiles. And apparently, people still really don’t know how to Google reverse image search on their own. But hey, that’s where Nev Schulman (and formerly Max Joseph) come in to save the day....

Leon Black is the perfect sidekick for Larry David in HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. The show was about rich Hollywood socialites meeting at charity benefits and movie stars’ birthday parties, with the schmucky, socially inept Larry David somehow finding his way into these situations and swiftly ruining them. Everything about these two characters is different – their race, their age, their wealth, their upbringing, their religious beliefs – and so they’re a hilarious comedy duo....

Matt Letscher reveals that while working on Legends of Tomorrow, a Legion of Doom sitcom was pitched to the CW. Letscher played Eobard Thawne, aka the Reverse Flash, in the CW’s Arrowverse, starting out on The Flash, from season 1 through season 3, before moving over to the spin-off series Legends of Tomorrow. Reverse Flash was a major part of the second season of the time-traveling superhero show, as he recruited Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough), Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), and later, Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller), to create the Legion of Doom....

Star Crystal Reed confirms production on DC Universe’s Swamp Thing show is underway. Part of DC’s efforts to expand their reach is through the launch of their streaming service DC Universe.
