Ryan Reynolds Has Broken Silence About 'Deadpool 3' Saying That Updates Are Coming
While Kevin Feige and the filmmakers working within the MCU seek to make uplifting, family friendly superhero movies and shows, Ryan Reynolds and his portrayal of Deadpool do nearly the exact opposite. The films are certainly still uplifting, and fans loved the first two Deadpool films and their brash, loud mouth and lethal main character. However, it is at the "family friendly" junction where Deadpool and the MCU greatly diverge. While he may have the looks of Freddy Kruegar, Deadpool won over audiences with the determination and filthy wit of the character, awesome action sequences, a fresh take on the superhero genre, and the perfect amount of gratuitous violence.

There has to be more than nostalgia
In December, I went and saw Spiderman: No Way Home and The Matrix Resurrections. Both were full of attempts to drum up fan nostalgia. One movie did it well. The other used it for a cash grab. Guess which one was which.

'Flash' Stunt Crew Shirt Hints At Major Villain
Ezra Miller’s The Flash will finally make its way to theaters in November 2022. This film had a rough start but all seems to be on the right track now. While set photos have been leaked, the one thing that has remained on the down-low is the identity of the main villain of the movie. A photo released by a stunt crew member over the weekend showed a design of Supergirl, Batman, and an odd Flash design that may have gone unnoticed to the untrained eye. However, if you look carefully the design is less like The Flash and more akin to a certain villain.

Patrick Stewart Discusses His 'Doctor Strange 2' Appearance
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is only a few months away, and fans are eagerly awaiting the sequel. Avengers: Endgame planted the seeds of the multiverse, Loki and WandaVision took us closer, and Spider-Man: No Way Home brought the multiverse to us. Now, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness looks to be taking us through the multiverse. No Way Home barely scratched the surface of the possibilities and dangers of the multiverse, and it defied expectations and precedents by giving us three Spider-Men on screen at once. With Doctor Strange promising a maddening journey through the multiverse, there could potentially be a Marvel character from any comic or film appearing in the movie. Fans already have a pretty good idea who might be returning based on the trailer for the film which premiered during the Super Bowl.

What Does The Future Of The DCEU Look Like?
DC has traditionally been split into two distinct streams for its storytelling in the live-action world. On the one hand, we have the movies known as the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The films released under the DCEU banner were Man Of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League (plus the Zack Snyder release), Aquaman, Shazam!, Birds Of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, and The Suicide Squad. On the other hand, we have TV shows known as the Arrowverse. This comprised Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends Of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, Batwoman, and Superman & Lois. These two streams have, on the whole, been living quite happily in blissful isolation from each other.

What If Wanda had survived the Snap?
She had to watch in gasped breaths as the monster among them ripped the Mind Stone from Vision’s head. Her heart beat against her chest as her hands trembled. Why? Why was he doing this? Didn’t he have enough power? Couldn’t he have just left them alone? Couldn’t everyone have just left them alone? No. Thanos couldn’t. Because he had his own plans and her family, and she meant nothing to him. She was an ant on a hill, and he was a boot. Hovering over her, waiting for the right moment to step down to finish her.She could hear the wind and heard the fighting, but her mind was on the blank face of vision in front of her. His body crumbled and resting in her lap. She hadn’t remembered moving to take him. Her mind was a mess of noise. She felt her heart clenching as her mind played every painful memory. The bomb crashing into the ceiling, their parents’ cries of pain before silence. The emptiness of where Pietro once was. Now all she could feel was hollow inside as Vision’s dead eyes stared back up at her.“I am inevitable.” Her eyes snapped up just in time to see Thanos snap, and suddenly it all was gone. She watched her friends disappear. She could feel the world melting around her. But something whirled within her and around her and shifted. No. No. He would not win. Not this time. She would not allow it.“NO!”

The MCU’s Young Avengers: Who are they?
CORE TEAM The Young Avengers. A team of young adults pushed together through happenstance to stop a force that no other hero could. This team assembled and brought to life by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung back in April 2005. A team of spunky young heroes who thought they were saving the world from a threat that the Avengers couldn’t deal with in a day and age where the Avengers weren’t around. These kids put on homemade costumes and went running into the face of danger on the world of a boy from the future—with nothing to back him up but a broken down computer program that had each of them listed as a “backup plan”.

Is Wanda the MCU’s NEXT big villain?
So far, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has given us fans some amazing villains. From the Iron Monger and our first look at AIM in Iron Man to the Red Skull. Then… they gave us Loki. After that, honestly, it must have been hard to come up with another who could top him. They struggled a bit with a few of them. The forgettable villains from the Guardians movies (Ego should have been so much more than he was—his comic counterpart would have been ashamed), and should I even bother to mention The Dark World? The Elves were a joke as villains, which honestly was heart breaking. Thor and the whole of his Norse side has so much involved, we could have done so much with that. But sadly, we got… Dark Elves.

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness: Who Is The Character Attacking Wanda?
The latest trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has fans going mad themselves, picking it apart for clues and cameos. One of the trailer's most talked about moments (other than a tease of what appears to be Patrick Stewart's Professor X, rumoured to be returning as part of a multiversal take on the Marvel Illuminati), is a brief clip of Wanda Maximoff, or a Wanda variant, under attack by a flying, glowing character.
