Kevin Feige On 'Avengers 5' And 'Deadpool 3'
Kevin Feige is currently one of (or maybe the most) powerful executive producers in all of Hollywood, thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe that he was responsible for launching in 2008 with the first Iron Man film. The franchise has indeed grown and evolved, starting with phase one with the solo films consisting of Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor, The Incredible Hulk (yes, fellow readers, the 2008 film IS canon), and the first two Iron Man films all culminating with the first Avengers film. That launching not only kicked off The Infinity Saga but made all the Marvel characters a part of pop culture and iconic to general audiences everywhere.

This Infamous Bounty Hunter Is Rumored To Be In 'Book Of Boba Fett'
The Book of Boba Fett is one of the most anticipated shows coming this year, and with the horrible part of 2020 still lingering in 2021, it is one of the only glimmers of hope coming in this drab year. Despite it being only a few months away, new information has been slow. News on the series has been kept relatively quiet in traditional Star Wars fashion. As a matter of fact, the only new information released is mostly confined to rumors and leaks, all of which must be taken with a grain of salt. Another one of these rumors has just been revealed, and it points to a major character's return to the series.

Was It Really Possible For Steve To Live The Nice Quiet Life 'Endgame' Suggested?
Avengers: Endgame is one of the best movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It served as the final farewell to not just that chapter in the MCU, but also to some of our favorite founding Avengers. Firstly, we said goodbye to Natasha Romanov, aka Black Widow, when, despite the best efforts of Hawkeye to stop her, she sacrificed herself to help the team acquire the Soul Stone so they were able to assemble a new Infinity Gauntlet and bring back all the people Thanos had snapped out of existence

The Reason Why 'Star Wars' Trilogies Need To End
It’s time for the trilogies to end. Star Wars so far has had three trilogies that make up the Skywalker Saga: originals, prequels, and sequels. Each tells a story in three whole movies. However, in the grand scheme of things, are trilogies necessarily the best format for how a Star Wars story should be told? Perhaps the trilogy format which is so well known in Star Wars does not do the storytelling justice. Does it amplify the best way to tell a story? Does it possess the best structure to get everything out? Is that enough time to tell a full story. In many aspects, the answer may simply be a straight up "No."

Questions We Still Have About 'The Bad Batch' Season 1
The season 1 finale of The Bad Batch hit Disney+ a little over two weeks ago. With season 2 not scheduled for release until 2022, a few of us are probably doing another rewatch of the series, poring over little detail as all Star Wars fans like to do.

'Star Wars' Theory: Darth Maul Founded The Knights Of Ren
The Dathomirian Zabrak known as Maul was once apprenticed to the most powerful being in the galaxy. As with many Sith, Maul's arrogance and reveling in victory proved to be his undoing as the padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn defeated him during the Battle of Naboo. The Sith Grand Plan suffered a major setback with Obi-Wan Kenobi's victory on Naboo, and Maul was left for dead by his master. Fueled by the Dark Side, amplified by rage at his defeat, Maul was able to survive and ended up the planet Lotho Minor, where his broken body was recovered by his brother, Savage Opress.

10 Interesting Facts You Didn’t Know About Christopher Lee
Actors have the unique opportunity to live multiple lives vicariously through the roles they play. For most, the characters they portray are larger than life, and lead far more interesting lives than the rest of us, the actors included. While this may be true for most, there are some notable exceptions. The late Christopher Lee is one such actor, and despite his astronomically large filmography, his life before the film industry outshines even his most outlandish acting roles. His passing in 2015 was a tragic loss to the acting community that is often overlooked. To completely cover the full scope of his incredible life off camera would be a truly herculean feat. Instead, here are ten of the more interesting facts about Christopher Lee.
