Anthony Mackie Shares A 'Black Panther 2' Update
One of the benefits of having a solidified and established cinematic universe is that anyone can pop up anywhere at any time. Last year, we had a crossover of fan and critical success with Spider-Man: No Way Home. The highly anticipated Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness expects to bring in lots of different people and characters. After all, it is now a norm to expect any character to pop into a movie whether it is in a post-credit stinger like in Morbius or to help push along the plot like Doctor Strange in Thor: Ragnorok.

Kevin Kiner's Music Is One Of The Best Parts Of 'Star Wars Rebels' And Here's Why
Even though the first episode of Star Wars Rebels aired back in 2014, I did not have a chance to watch it until recently. While its main theme of good vs. evil and the coming of age story are nothing new, I was instantly hooked. Not many television series nowadays have orchestral soundtracks, let alone one of the same grandeur as John Williams.

Why 'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Is Still MCU Canon
Whoa, boy, there's only so much one can take. As an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fan, it's been disheartening seeing so many fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe dismiss its place that persisted to its very end. Nevertheless, I want to show that there was no divergence. So let's run through the major points. I'll be starting off with a soft reminder, but it's probably going to get harsher as we go.

Five Interesting Facts About Robert Downey Jr.
5. Robert Downey Jr. Was Trained In Classical Ballet As a child, he was enrolled to study classical ballet at the highly-reputable Perry House School, located in Chelsea, London. Downey was once quoted as saying, "I don't want to say I did anything correctly at Perry House because the truth is that I spent my whole time there with my nose in the corner, being a moron.” Downey would later go on to enroll at the Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Training Center before fully transitioning to an acting career. It is perhaps fortunate that Downey did not further pursue a career in professional ballet performance. However, as many of Downey’s film appearances can jointly attest, neither his seamless energy nor his love for dance has abandoned him over the years.

Here's How To Find The Hidden Free Comic In 'Moon Knight' Episode 1
References, Easter eggs, and callbacks have become important structural, narrative, and production components of the average MCU and DC films and television shows. It helps with the overarching narrative that connects multiple titles. It is also a fun way to pay tribute to the original source as a form of fan service. Interestingly, at least for the time being, Moon Knight does not make any references to the wider MCU. In fact, it seems to completely ignore some events you would expect most people to know about like “the Snap” and the return of the missing people five years later. That is probably a smart move on Marvel and Disney’s part because the character does not have a footing in the MCU. As he is such a complex and deep fellow, focusing on just him for this series seems a great idea.
