Addiction is a terrible thing that has ruined lives. From alcohol and d*ugs to smoking, many celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston have come out to talk about their past addictions and how they successfully recovered from them. People of influence talking about their flaws and struggles go a long way in getting common people to get help.
The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has revealed that in 2018, the losses caused to the USA’s economy due to cigarette smoking were more than $600 billion. Over 480,000 Americans reportedly die due to cigarette smoking every year. Here are five celebrities who opened up about their smoking habits and how they quit them.

Joss Whedon's large-scale action picture "Avengers: Age of Ultron" was released in theaters in the spring of 2015, and it featured a gaggle of Marvel superheroes teaming up to fight the eponymous evil super-robot. Ultron (voiced by James Spader) was an artificial intelligence accidentally created by Iron Man while he was constructing a global, spacebound security system intended to make superhero-ing easier. Upon achieving consciousness, Ultron spends about two minutes on the internet and instantly decided that humanity needed to be wiped out, shunting its own consciousness into a series of robot bodies and going about its wicked business. The Avengers, naturally, smash up all the Ultron bots.
Ultron is destroyed at the end of that film and has only shown up in additional Marvel Cinematic Universe entries in smaller roles since then, including the animated TV show "What If...?" However, Spader will reportedly reprise Ultron for the upcoming "WandaVision...

Marvel is turning a new page with some major upcoming projects as the company celebrates its milestone 85th birthday.
A new promo spot Celebrating 85 Years of Marvel features a voiceover from the late Stan Lee and several MCU stars, as well as a glimpse at Thunderbolts*, Captain America: Brave New World and Daredevil: Born Again.
In a short clip from Thunderbolts*, which premieres May 2, 2025 in IMAX, elevator doors open to reveal the titular team of antiheroes, including Red Guardian (David Harbour), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) and U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell).
Another brief shot shows Charlie Cox reprise his role as a glowing-eyed Matt Murdock (aka Daredevil) in Born Again, which premieres on Disney+ in March 2025. He previously played the blind attorney in Netflix‘s Daredevil (2015-’18) and The Defenders (2017), before bringing the character into the MCU with the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law...

A few weeks ago, news broke that Robert Downey Jr. will return as Doctor Doom in the MCU. Reactions have been mixed, with some fans concerned that casting Rdj as Doom might undermine Iron Man’s legacy, while others feel that the story could be confusing if it doesn’t address the fact that the same actor is playing different roles.
It’s known that Rdj began negotiating his return over a year ago. According to Variety, Marvel is paying $80 million for Anthony and Joe Russo to direct Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, with Robert Downey Jr.’s salary for playing Doctor Doom in both films being even higher. The Russos’ deal, which doesn’t include back-end compensation, features performance bonuses tied to box office milestones of $750 million and $1 billion. Additionally, the Russos will produce the films through their Agbo banner, deviating from Marvel’s usual practice of handling production in-house.

Ranker is a popular platform where users can create and vote on rankings for virtually anything, based purely on fan opinions and not official endorsements from the creators. Recently, Ranker conducted a large survey to determine the worst MCU movies. While the list includes over 30 films, we’ve focused on the top ten worst movies for a more detailed look, along with our own commentary to enhance the report.
Given the significance of this list, we’re excited to present the results, ranking the top 10 worst MCU movies from 10th to 1st place, with the top spot being the least favored. We hope you find it as interesting as we do!
10. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever wasn’t terrible and is arguably the least problematic film on this list, but it lacked innovation. Unlike some other films, such as Multiverse of Madness, it wasn’t a chaotic mess.

Ranker is a popular place on the Internet where people can rank whatever they want, however, they want, and whenever they want. This is always a fan-focused ranking system, and it is never officially tied to the people behind the projects in question. Recently, a large survey was organized on Ranker, whose goal was to determine the worst MCU movies. The list includes more than 30 films, but in our report, we have decided to list the top ten worst movies from the site to provide you with better insight, combined with our original comments and opinions, which will add flavor to the whole report.
Of course, since this is indeed an important list, we have decided to report on it, so we are going to bring you the results by listing the top 10 worst movies on this list, from 10th to first place, with the first one being the absolute worst.

It began with 2008’s “Iron Man,” a film that introduced the world to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark with the hint that he could be part of something greater. Over 30 films later, the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still being told, albeit with various tributaries and detours that introduce new characters and new worlds that may or may not cross paths one day. Each film in the MCU stands on its own to some degree, but like building blocks, they all connect as part of one interconnected universe. And in that way, watching the Marvel movies in order tells one grand story.
There are a couple of different ways to watch the Marvel movies in order, but below we run down how to watch the MCU in chronological and release date order. Indeed, some films like “Captain Marvel” and “Captain America: The First Avenger” are full-on prequels...

Work continues on The Fantastic Four: First Steps set in England and it appears the alternate reality Times Square has finally been completed.
As you can see in the newly revealed photos and videos below, signage has been added to the buildings along with a giant TV screen and well over a dozen '60s-style vehicles. However, both they and everything else we see have an interesting retro-futuristic spin on them.
That's because the reboot doesn't just take place in the 1960s, but in a world far more advanced than our own which appears to have benefited massively from Mister Fantastic's genius.
We'd imagine the cast will soon start shooting on this massive set, though it remains to be seen whether we'll get any photos of footage of Marvel's First Family in action.

There had been rumblings about Robert Downey Jr. returning to the MCU heading into last month's San Diego Comic-Con, but none of us expected him to be announced as Doctor Doom in place of Iron Man!
The Oscar-winner first suited up as Tony Stark in 2008 and, five years after bidding farewell to the Armoured Avenger in Avengers: Endgame, he'll transform into one of the Marvel Universe's greatest villains in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
We completely understand why the decision to cast Downey as Victor Von Doom has proven somewhat divisive but now have some thoughts on why it's actually a good idea. In fact, we'd say this casting decision is the best one Marvel Studios could have made.

From ants to snakes, Paul Rudd seems obsessed with the creepy crawlies.
Deadline is reporting that the “Ant-Man” star is currently up for an Emmy for “Only Murders in the Building” (and a second Emmy nomination for narration) and is in talks with Sony for a remake of the 1997 adventure picture “Anaconda” for Sony. Also rumored to be in the cast is the Grammy-winning actor and comic Jack Black. The screenplay was penned by Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten, who created the meta-Nicolas Cage adventure “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” and also wrote the recent “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” and Netflix. Gormican is set to direct.
Black recently made some news when his Tenacious D. partner Kyle Gass gaffed after the assassination attempt against Donald Trump onstage in Sydney. The “King Fu Panda” star then ended their decades-long partnership. Rudd, once highly regarded for his comic performances in smaller films,...

"They want a war... I will give it to them."
Following several brief teasers, Netflix (via Toonado.com) has released an action-packed full trailer for Zack Snyder's adult animated Norse mythology series, Twilight of the Gods, which is set to premiere on the streaming service on September 19.
This "blood, sex and dragons" promo makes it abundantly clear that this will not be a show for the whole family, as a mortal warrior named Sigrid wages war against Loki, Thor and all of their fellow Asgardian gods in extremely violent fashion while also taking care of some other business in the bedroom.
"In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds, and great despair, Leif (Stuart Martin), a mortal king, is saved on the battlefield by Sigrid (Sylvia Hoeks), an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love," reads the recently-released synopsis.

“You are sitting in the DeLorean (from) Marty McFly’s point-of-view,” explained Steven Spielberg in a promotional video that described the experience of Back to the Future: The Ride. “Doc Brown is guiding you right through the experience, and you are really in Back to the Future. It’s almost like Back to the Future Part IV.”
Debuting at Universal Studios Florida in 1991, Back to the Future: The Ride was a groundbreaking attraction that involved some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Along with Spielberg, who birthed the idea and oversaw the ride’s development as a consultant for Universal Studios, visionary filmmaker Douglas Trumbull was hired to direct the footage that accompanied the ride. Trumbull had made a name for himself creating the visual effects for 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner, and his Back to the Future adventure took riders to Future Hill Valley, the ice age...

Doctor Doom has been collectively acknowledged as one of the most iconic and powerful villains in the history of Marvel Comics. Overpowered to a concerning degree, there is a reason why fans are extremely excited to know that the next phase of the franchise will be led with him as the main villain, being played by none other than Robert Downey Jr.

The San Diego Comic Con, 2024 will be one to remember for the Marvel Cinematic Universe Fans. We got our first peek at Harrison Ford as Red Hulk (welcome to the MCU Han Solo). A clip of the MCU’s ultimate misfits banding together for Thunderbolts* was also revealed, while more details about Fantastic Four: First Steps were made available.
Yet none of it compares to the bombshell reveal that the MCU’s biggest performer is back, with Robert Downey Jr. joining as Doctor Doom, signaling the end of the road for Kang The Conqueror. But Jonathan Majors hopes otherwise.

When Ant-Man made his debut in the MCU, he quickly became a fan favorite, thanks largely to Paul Rudd’s fantastic portrayal. The first solo Ant-Man movie was a hit, and the sequel performed well too. Despite the third film being considered a flop due to poor writing, Ant-Man has managed to remain a beloved character among MCU fans.
Given his popularity, many fans enjoy revisiting some of Ant-Man’s most memorable moments in the MCU. Although the character often serves as comic relief, he’s had his share of notable scenes, and one theory in particular continues to draw attention.
Yes, it’s the theory about Ant-Man killing Thanos—the idea that Ant-Man could have shrunk down entered Thanos’ body, and then expanded to giant size, killing the villain from within. This theory has been a longstanding joke among fans, but Marvel actually addressed it… and somehow, that just made things even weirder.

Despite being made at a modest budget of $80 million, the recently released sci-fi horror film Alien: Romulus seemed to have impressed many fans and critics alike. The Fede Álvarez-directorial is a standalone story in the Aliens franchise and stars Cailee Spaeny in the lead role.
The box office and critical success of low-budget genre films such as Alien: Romulus, The Creator, Godzilla Minus One, and more have led fans to question why big-budget superhero films have been failing at the box office. On the other hand, films like The Marvels, The Flash, and more have been given ridiculous budgets without any redeeming factor.

A few years ago, David Dastmalchian was with longtime friend James Gunn, getting ready to travel to a bachelor getaway before Gunn’s wedding.
He was excited to tell his friend that he’d landed a job writing a Creature Commandos comic for DC. Little did Dastmalchian know, Gunn — soon to be named head of DC Studios — was already working on his own take on Creature Commandos as an animated TV show about the team of monsters.
“He goes, ‘Look!’ He already had animatics and footage from his animated series,” says Dastmalchian, who worked with Gunn on The Suicide Squad. “I was afraid maybe my comic series would get canceled, because it’s a different Creature Commandos than what James is doing, and he said, “No, no, no. It’s totally fine. It exists. And certain publishing stories can exist separately.”

Yesterday, we learned that the animated film Transformers One, which takes place on the Autobots and Decepticon’s home planet of Cybertron and is set to reach theatres on September 20th, has earned a PG rating from the Motion Picture Association ratings board. Now a featurette has arrived online to give us a look at the voice cast and hear what they had to say about the project, and you can check it out in the embed above!
Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley directed the film from a screenplay that was crafted by Ant-Man co-writers Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, along with Eric Pearson, whose credits include Thor: Ragnarok and Godzilla vs. Kong. The animated movie tells the “long-awaited origin story of how the most iconic characters in the Transformers universe, Orion Pax and D-16, went from brothers-in-arms to become sworn enemies, Optimus Prime and Megatron.”

Rumors have been running rampant for months, suggesting that Marvel Studios would be scrapping some of its riskier projects. If you've been a fan of the franchise for a long time, you'll know that rumors are always circulating when it comes to Marvel, but this time it's different.
After the underperformances of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels, it showcased that the studio couldn't just produce anything and turn it into a Marvel Cinematic Universe hit anymore. Shortly after that, reports revealed that Disney CEO Bob Iger was working with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to help the studio adopt a new "less-is-more" approach. That meant it would release less titles in a year in order to ensure that each one gets enough focus to produce the strongest product possible.
Sometime after that, reports emerged that this approach also involved less risk-taking, with rumors of a number of in-development titles getting scrapped.

MCU sequels used to be a regular occurrence, but Marvel Studios/Disney haven't been as quick to green-light direct follow-ups of late - and with good reason.
Several recent sequels/threequels - including Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels - underperformed, and with Eternals not only having the dubious honor of being the first Marvel Studios movie to drop to "rotten" status on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, but also finishing up its U.S. run with a disappointing $164.9 million to give it the lowest domestic haul of any McU-set movie aside from 2008's The Incredible Hulk ($134M), a sequel always seemed like a long shot.
Even so, it was difficult to imagine that Kevin Feige would simply decide to forget about these characters, and rumors have persisted that a sequel was in the early planning stages.
We're still not sure how accurate these reports were, but if Eternals 2 ever was in development,...

Nine years years ago, we heard that Ant-Man co-writers Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari had joined a writers room that was put together to develop an animated Transformers project called Transformers One, which “would take place on the Autobots and Decepticon’s home planet of Cybertron.” Eventually, Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley signed on to take the helm of the film. Now that movie is set to make its way out into the world, with Paramount Pictures scheduling a September 20th theatrical release – and the Motion Picture Association ratings board has revealed that they’ve given the movie a PG rating for sci-fi violence and animated action throughout, and language.

Marvel Studios is currently riding high after the astronomical success of Deadpool and Wolverine. The movie's record-breaking box-office numbers are exactly the kind of win that the studio needed after a number of its recent titles had either underperformed or drawn a divisive response from viewers. But this movie has been the comeback audiences were hoping it would pull off.
There are a lot of exciting titles on the horizon too, which Marvel will no doubt ensure are as high quality as possible so that they can sustain this return to form they are in right now. We still have Agatha All Along to look forward to this year, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe adventures will return to the silver screen next year, with Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps all releasing in 2025.
There is also a fourth movie expected to release that year too.

Someone out there has a recording of the Thunderbolts* trailer shown at last month's San Diego Comic-Con and, right now, it appears the idea is to release it frame-by-frame.
The next round of screengrabs has hit social media this morning, anyway, starting with a new look at Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost. Now decked out in a black costume with a white mask, this is a drastic overhaul when compared to her appearance in both Ant-Man and The Wasp and the comics (where she is a he).
On the plus side, the lights on each side of the helmet do pay homage to the source material.
We never got to learn what became of Ava after Scott Lang travelled into the Quantum Realm to find her life-saving quantum energy, so assuming she wasn't among those Blipped, the villain may have continued down the dark path she was already on...

John Slattery will join the upcoming USA Network drama “The Rainmaker” as Leo F. Drummond, the main antagonist of the story in the original John Grisham novel and its 1997 film adaptation, NBCUniversal announced Monday.
The character is described in a release as “one of Grisham’s most iconic characters … a legendary lion of the courtroom and senior partner at Tinley Britt, the powerful firm that Rudy Baylor is up against.”
It has yet to be announced who will play the lead of Baylor, portrayed in the film version by Matt Damon. The series is described in its logline as featuring the “fresh out of law school” Baylor taking on Drummond, “as well as his law school girlfriend. Rudy, along with his boss and her disheveled paralegal, uncover two connected conspiracies surrounding the mysterious death of their client’s son.”

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s fall from grace is nothing short of monumental. The franchise which had the world in awe just half a decade back, found itself at its worst stage in 2023, with the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels failing to do justice to Marvel’s reputation, bringing in a paltry $532 million amongst themselves. Even out of these, The Marvels drew the shorter end of the straw, going on to bag just $206 million at the Box Office. And Daniel Richtman weighs in on what went wrong for the Teyonah Parris starrer.

Deadpool & Wolverine, which is still being aired in cinemas, starring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, is, for many fans, the most anticipated movie of the year. After much anticipation, fans can now finally see these two iconic characters on the big screen as they share a major adventure on the big screen.
There are many Easter Eggs in the movie, which is currently having a great time in theaters across the globe, and fans are always finding and counting them. Of course, the majority have been found and made public thus far, but it’s possible that you’ve overlooked one or two, or that you have not properly interpreted some of them.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe did not invent the post-credits scene, but it did popularize and standardized it in superhero blockbusters to the point where audiences are now expected to stay through the credits lest they miss out on some surprise, some tease of what is to come in the next movie, or simply a funny gag.
Some of the post-credits scenes in the MCU are good, great even, and some are terrible and a waste of time. We have met many MCU characters directly through post-credits scenes, starting with Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, and a few have made repeated appearances, but only one actor's had the honor of appearing in the most post-credits scenes. No, it's not Jackson, even if he kickstarted the Marvel post-credits scene trend in the first "Iron Man."

We recently learned that Paramount Pictures' and Edgar Wright's long-gestating adaptation of Stephen King's The Running Man is finally moving forward with Glen Powell in the lead role of Ben Richards, and rumors are beginning to swirl about the movie's supporting cast.
Following on from a recent report that Sydney Sweeney - who previously starred alongside Powell in romantic comedy Anyone But You - is being eyed to play the female lead, Daniel Richtman has heard that Katy O'Brian is also up for an undisclosed supporting role.
No details on who she would play, but there are really only two significant female characters in the book: Richards' wife Shelia and his hostage, Amelia.
O'Brian had a small role in season 3 of The Mandalorian, and also played Jentorra in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. She's been getting a lot of attention in Hollywood thanks to her more recent work in Love Lies Bleeding.

Today, MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios announced that Oscar nominee Michelle Pfeiffer will executive produce and star in Madison, the latest addition to Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe. According to today’s official press release, the series is a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.
“Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who imbues every role with emotional depth, authenticity and grace,” said Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO, Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios. “She is the perfect anchor to the newest chapter of the Yellowstone universe, Madison, from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan.”
Lighting up screens for more than three decades, Michelle Pfeiffer is a legend. Her role as Elvira Hancock in Brian De Palma’s Scarface cemented her as a star destined to burn bright within the entertainment industry. For many of us,...

Deadpool 3 went through several different iterations before becoming Deadpool & Wolverine, with Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin originally hired by Marvel Studios to pen the screenplay in 2020.
Later, Deadpool and Deadpool 2 scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick boarded the threequel alongside Zeb Wells (star Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy were also credited as writers).
It's no huge surprise then that the movie's story went through multiple changes, and we now have details on Deadpool & Wolverine's original direction which may explain some of those very early plot leaks.
"The movie was supposed to start with the Tva arresting Wade for messing with Cable's time machine," explains scooper @MyTimeToShineH. "While he's in their prison, he overhears that the Tva is looking to recruit Anchor Beings from across the multiverse to create an army to fight the Kangs, and they were supposed to be searching for a version of Logan.
Later, Deadpool and Deadpool 2 scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick boarded the threequel alongside Zeb Wells (star Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy were also credited as writers).
It's no huge surprise then that the movie's story went through multiple changes, and we now have details on Deadpool & Wolverine's original direction which may explain some of those very early plot leaks.

The overwhelming success of Deadpool and Wolverine has allowed Marvel Studios to stage a phenomenal comeback at the box office. The future of the franchise was never truly in question, but after a couple of uncharacteristic underperformers at the box office, there were questions about what that future could look like. Hits like Deadpool and Wolverine, that's what!
This billion-dollar sensation is going to be the studio's only movie released in theaters this year, but it's also going to be one of its most successful ever. That's the kind of bounce back it needed after its previous Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, The Marvels, became its lowest-grossing movie ever. And that film's underperformance, along with a number of other issues, was what forced Disney and Marvel Studios to reshuffle its release strategy and content plan, focusing on different titles.
There have long been rumors that this has resulted in the cancellation...

Erik Kripe’s The Boys received divisive reviews in its fourth and penultimate season. Despite having its signature gory sequences, with more Homelander shenanigans and exploding farm animals, the fourth season was largely considered to be a downgrade from its predecessors.
While the season had plenty of unhinged sequences, one scene from season 3 has to take the cake in terms of the show’s boldness. The episode in question sees the superhero Termite going inside the urethra of a lover and pleasuring him from the inside. The crew reportedly had to build an 11-foot p*nis set to film the sequence.

When Marvel Studios introduced Kang (a.k.a. He Who Remains) in Loki, it felt like the MCU was about to get an even greater big bad than Thanos.
However, the studio made a major misstep by adding his most well-known Variant, Kang the Conqueror, to Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. In the movie, the Kang we expected to be the Multiverse Saga's endgame was soundly beaten by the title heroes. Then, to make matters worse, rising star Jonathan Majors was dropped from the role after a well-publicised domestic abuse trial.
Marvel Studios has since decided to move on from Kang and will instead focus on Doctor Doom in the next Avengers movies. Since The Kang Dynasty (now titled Doomsday) was announced two years ago, a lot has been revealed about what it would have looked like and we've rounded up everything you need to know here.

The naughtiest Disney movie of all time could have been even raunchier. Deadpool & Wolverine featured jokes about pegging, cocaine and Marvel kingpin Kevin Feige, but apparently, that was the clean stuff. Director and writer Shawn Levy told Entertainment Weekly that despite receiving free rein to make the movie as nasty as he and Ryan Reynolds wanted, there was one joke that had to be scrubbed from the final cut.
“The general rule is to never punch down and to only take the piss out of people who can take it,” Levy told EW, using Hugh Jackman as an example. “When it was about Hugh in a meta way, Hugh was always the first to laugh uproariously.”
But Levy and company were asked to change another line of dialogue that went too far. In a film full of filthy jokes, what could the offense have been? “We have made a pact,...

Estimating the wealth of a fictional character is both interesting and very difficult to do, seeing how a lot of the estimates are based on imprecise numbers and speculation. Rarely do works of fiction present us with precise data, and even when they do, the data is only partial as it never encompasses all characters. On top of that, the data constantly changes and different sources often list different data.
In this list, we are going to bring you a list of the 10 richest characters from the MCU based on the data we have.
Disclaimer: The data in this list is not always precise, and it is subject to constant change, so take it as estimates (where data is available) rather than exact facts.

Deadpool & Wolverine Box Office (China): Surpasses Ant-Man 3( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Deadpool & Wolverine faces tough competition at the Chinese box office due to the release of several new local movies. However, it did surpass another Marvel biggie there and became one of the highest-grossing comic book movies post-covid. It has beaten Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, aka Ant-Man 3 to achieve this exciting feat. Keep scrolling for more.
Ant-Man 3 was released in the theatres last year, starring Paul Rudd, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lily, and Jonathan Majors. Majors made his MCU feature debut with this movie, where he played Kang the Conqueror. Soon after the movie came out, Majors was arrested for domestic violence, and he was found guilty in court. Eventually, Marvel fired him from Kang’s role. Marvel completely pivoted from him and now brought back Robert Downey Jr to play Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars,...

Director Ti West's conclusion to the "X" trilogy is coming home. West and star Mia Goth rounded out their decades-spanning horror trilogy this year with "MaXXXine," picking up a little while after "X" left off ("Pearl" was a prequel). The film brings the action to the '80s with Goth's Maxine Minx trying to fulfill her dream of becoming a star, and naturally, things get bloody along the way. For those who may have missed the retro, murderous trip through Hollywood, fear not! You can now watch the film from the comfort of home.
A24 has released "MaXXXine" on VOD following its successful run at the box office. The movie is now available through a variety of digital retailers such as Apple TV, Google Play, Fandango at Home, and Prime Video, among others. It is currently available to rent...

If asked to name who are some of the most iconic villains of the Marvel Universe, chances are the name “Doctor Doom” will come up. First appearing in Fantastic Four Issue #5 in May of 1962, the power-mad dictator has proven himself a worthy adversary for anyone who challenges his authority. He is set to make his debut as part of Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will be portrayed by Robert Downy Jr.
However, not everyone seems all that happy about the announcement, specifically Jonathan Majors. Prior to his recent legal issues, Majors was cast as Kang the Conquerer, another Marvel villain who first appeared in Avengers Issue #8 in September 1964. Kang was also featured in the Disney+ series Loki and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Initially, he was set to be the next main MCU threat with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. However, following Majors’ recent abuse case, he was dropped from the franchise.

Amid the current wave of coverage on the latest MCU scoops, one thing is sure to shock you, aside from the reveal of characters in Avengers 5, formerly titled The Kang Dynasty: Shuri passing the mantle onto the younger T’Challa in Black Panther 3.
The scoop comes from Alex Perez of Cosmic Circus. Yes, MCU fans. Letitia Wright’s Shuri, who is the Princess of Wakanda and assumed the mantle of the Black Panther following her elder brother’s passing, will bequeath the title above to her nephew, T’Challa II, in the franchise's third installment.
Through samples of her late brother, T’Challa’s DNA, fibers from Namor’s bracelet, and replicating a synthesized artificial version of the Heart-Shaped Herb, Shuri became the next Black Panther. Following the defeat of Namor and the end of the war, Shuri leaves Wakanda to stay with Nakia in Haiti and is introduced to her nephew,...

Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe was kept a secret, and even other Avengers stars didn’t know about his new role.
The Iron Man star was a surprise guest at San Diego’s Comic-Con and was confirmed to play Doctor Doom in upcoming Avengers films like Avengers: Secret Wars and Avengers: Doomsday.
Renner, who has played Hawkeye in the MCU, found out about Downey’s return just like everybody else.
“I had no idea,” Renner told Us Weekly. “This son of a bitch didn’t say anything to me, and we’re good friends.”
After discovering Downey’s return to the MCU, Renner took to the Avengers group chat, which includes Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, and Mark Ruffalo, and “started blowing up [Downey’s] phone.”
“I’m like, ‘What’s going on? Are you hiding this from us?’ I don’t know,” Renner said. “That’s exciting news,...

During San Diego Comic-Con (Sdcc), Jamie Lee Curtis commented on Marvel’s recent films while promoting her upcoming “Borderlands” film. An MTV interviewer asked her which phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe we’re currently in, and she answered with “Bad.”
Now, it seems that she has been shamed enough to issue an apology for her joke, which I thought was funny and accurate.
She put out a statement saying,
“My comments about Marvel were stupid and I will do better. I’ve reached out to Kevin Feige and will no longer play in that mud slinging sandbox of competition we call the internet nor will I engage in the toilet paper promotion or game play that is designed for clicks not content.”
While the “Don’t poop where you eat” philosophy is a good one, she wasn’t wrong if we go by the data.
Phases 4 and 5 of the MCU have not performed well.

Although it has been reported that veteran writer Robert Guza Jr. (“General Hospital”) and producer Julie Hanan Carruthers (“All My Children,” “Port Charles”) have joined “The Gates” as executive producers, creator and showrunner Michele Val Jean, who is also an executive producer on the series, has only officially confirmed one new hire since the news of the show’s development was first announced earlier this year.
On X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday morning, Val Jean shared that writer Skyy Sandifer had joined the new daytime drama series, which is set to debut on CBS in January 2025.

We first met Kang in his "He Who Remains" form at the end of Loki's first season. It was revealed that, following a Multiversal War, he was the last Kang standing and free to then create his own Sacred Timeline to rule over forever more.
Having grown bored with an eternity trapped at the end of time, He Who Remains hoped Loki and Sylvie would take his place. Instead, the latter killed him, though we'd later learn it was all part of Kang's plan as he knew he'd be resurrected after the failing Time Loom destroyed the Tva and branching timelines (all while leaving the Sacred Timeline to thrive).
Loki refused to follow He Who Remains' path and instead created a new Multiverse powered by him, giving everyone free will and his friends at the Tva enough time to prepare for the war to come with Kang's Variants.

Jamie Lee Curtis has reached out to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and vowed to choose her words about the MCU more carefully.
The Oscar winner went viral on X (formerly Twitter) this week after a Comic-Con interview with MTV where she was asked to name what phase the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in at the moment. “Bad,” she replied.
Curtis has now issued an apology. On X, she wrote to fans that her comments about Marvel were “stupid.” She added, “I will do better. I’ve reached out to Kevin Feige and will no longer play in that mud slinging sandbox of competition we call the internet nor will I engage in the toilet paper promotion or game play that is designed for clicks not content.”

This year’s Sdcc brought several exciting new revelations for the MCU. Fans enjoyed exclusive previews of Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four: First Steps, and it was announced that Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the MCU, this time as Doctor Doom.
Additionally, the recent release of Deadpool & Wolverine represents a significant turnaround for Disney, which has faced financial losses in recent years. As you may know, Phase 4 and Phase 5 have been particularly challenging, with notable losses from last year’s releases, The Marvels and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
