What We Know So Far About The Plot Of The First 'Rings of Power' Episode
The first episode of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series is premiering on September 2, 2022, and fans could not be more excited.

Theory: Is Darth Vader Taking Over Crimson Dawn?
You can't keep a good Sith down. Greg Pak's ongoing Darth Vader series has taken the iconic villain in many unique directions. Starting immediately after the events of The Empire Strikes Back, Vader's new comic began with a story about him investigating the death of Padmé Amidala alongside her handmaiden Sabé. The arc ended with Vader discovering the base on Polis Massa where Padmé died and watching her speak her final words in a recording, shaking the Dark Lord and foreshadowing his eventual return to the light.

Moon Knight Provides Another Perspective On Superheroes’ Loneliness And Uniqueness
This article contains spoilers for the first two episodes of Marvel Studios Moon Knight on Disney+. Steven Grant in Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight on Disney+ is a Marvel character who finds it challenging to find companionship. Steven is portrayed as a lonely man who is a recluse, but not by choice. This is very similar to Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger and Sprite in the Marvel Studios production, Eternals. Each character has their own challenges in finding romantic partners. Steve Rogers suffers from being too scrawny, asthma, and chronic colds, while Sprite is trapped as an immortal in a child’s body. Steve Grant sleepwalks, is forgetful, and ignores detail. Steve Grant is unique from the other two characters because he suffers from a mental health disorder known as dissociative personality.

This 'X-Men' Actor Jokes About A Return In The MCU
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is unpredictable in such a unique way right now. We are entering a new era of the MCU, one where we are being introduced to new heroes, organizations, and villains. The premiere date of May 6, 2022 looms ever closer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with plans to potentially expand our already massive franchise of superhero movies into something unexpectedly huge and possibly connected to previous outings made by Marvel. The MCU has already teased the Multiverse many times. The cameo of Evan Peters’ Quicksilver in WandaVison suggests that Quicksilver may once again be appearing in the MCU. Characters are also traveling from different multiverses to meet and team up together, as seen in Loki and most recently Spider-Man: No Way Home. After No Way Home, Marvel is pushing expectations higher and higher with new ways to introduce characters into its bold cinematic universe.

Beyond Yoda - The Work And Life Of Frank Oz
Even casual Star Wars fans are familiar with Frank Oz, the puppeteer who brought Master Yoda to life in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Stuart Freeborn created the Yoda's appearance (partially based on his own features), but Oz was responsible for the personality and movements of the "little green friend," as Darth Sidious called him, and for his backward speaking manner.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Review: Does it Live up 2 the Hype? (Minor spoilers). Top Story - April 2022.
With the success of Paramount's 2020 film Sonic the Hedgehog, based on the hit video game series of the same name, high expectations were placed on the sequel, which introduces the fan favorite sidekick, Miles "Tails" Prower (voiced by veteran voice actress Colleen O'Shaugnessy), and the tough as leather rival, Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Idris Elba). The first film may have gotten a bit of a rocky start with initial reactions to the first design being so great that Paramount had to go back and change it, but this film had no such uphill battle. All eyes were set upon how Sonic the Hedgehog 2 could build upon the story established in its predecessor. Not only did it meet the expectations given to it, but in some cases, the movie exceeded them.

'Morbius' Director Addresses Poor Reviews
With numerous delays, reshuffling of release dates, and much of the internet branding Morbius as the worst Marvel film ever made before its actual release, the film had nothing but an uphill battle. After years of waiting, Morbius finally flew into theaters on April 1, 2022 with largely negative reviews from critics. Currently sitting at a 16% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, it is certainly not the kind of reception any director hopes for. Daniel Espinosa recently sat down with Insider to try to make sense of the backlash and to discuss what the future holds for the Sony Cinematic Universe.
