Avengers: Endgame’s New Asgard Is Way More Digital Than You Realized

The best visual effects are the ones you don’t even know are there. In a film like Avengers: Endgame, it’s fairly obvious something like the Hulk is a digital effect. The final battle, of course, is largely put together using VFX as well. But you probably didn’t realize how something as simple and quaint as…

Spider-Man: Far From Home‘s Stealth Suit Was Almost Too Cool for Peter Parker

Peter Parker lives a pretty cool life—one that gets a bit cooler in Spider-Man: Far From Home (even if he doesn’t want it to) when superspy Nick Fury shows up and gives him a mission. The endeavor gives Peter a new costume to play with…one that, at first, the team behind the movie made look…

Stan Lee’s Former Manager Keya Morgan Charged With 5 Counts of Elder Abuse

In the final months of Stan Lee’s life, the comics legend began taking the necessary steps to distance and disentangle himself from people like his one time manager and caretaker Keya Morgan who had considerable access to his finances.

Avengers: Endgame’s Creators Keep Undoing the Good Will They Had by Explaining the Movie

While Avengers: Endgame is very good at drawing you into the sheer spectacle of itself as you’re watching, when you give it some distance, the movie’s narrative weaknesses become readily apparent. And that’s before the Russo Brothers started to further complicate things with their post-hoc musings. Apparently, though, the filmmakers have even more to say.…

How ILM Achieved One of the Biggest (Literally) Surprises in Avengers: Endgame

We’re talking, of course, about the Hulk. Avengers: Endgame is not just the end of a 22-film saga in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s the end of a pseudo-trilogy for Bruce Banner and the Hulk. Starting with Thor: Ragnarok, moving to Avengers: Infinity War, and ending in Endgame, fans have seen Banner go from only…

Ant-Man & The Wasp Concept Art Shows the Quantum Realm City We Never Got to See

What all is hiding in the mysterious Quantum Realm? If Ant Man & The Wasp had given us a more detailed glance, it might have looked something like this. The mysterious reality, central as a plot device to, at this point, several films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is undoubtedly home to a lot of…

Tom Holland Still Hasn’t Seen Empire Strikes Back, Somehow

From Lego Death Stars to name dropping those “walker-thingies,” it’s clear the Peter Parker of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a bit of a Star Wars nerd. But despite the galaxy far, far away being a recurring thread for the MCU’s Spider-Man, Tom Holland himself still hasn’t seen the iconic film his cinematic counterpart loves.…

Avengers: Endgame Has Some Nerve Making Fun of Time Travel Movies

Because real-world time travel back and forth between the past and present is not (yet) possible, and the underlying science behind our working theories as to how it might one day be possible can be difficult to grasp, our ideas about it have largely been shaped by fictional depictions in books, television shows, and movies…

One of Avengers: Endgame‘s Most Incredible Scenes Is Now Online

As impressive as the magnitude and more spectacular elements of Avengers: Endgame are, what really makes the movie shine are those moments when you get to see the Avengers interacting with one another in their downtime as people living in the larger world. Take, for instance, the all-new, all-verbal Hulk, who’s become something of a…

A New Spider-Man: Far From Home Clip Has Some Very Intriguing Teases About the Multiverse

This week’s Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer dropped some pretty major curveballs about how it’s going to deal with Peter Parker’s post-Endgame life—one of which was an allusion to the young hero’s first step into a much larger world. Or, rather, set of worlds. And a new clip has us even more intrigued. Aired on The…

How Spider-Man: Far From Home Brings Peter Parker Back Down to Earth

On the UK set of Spider-Man: Far From Home last summer, one question was on the minds of press: How does Peter Parker’s next solo adventure deal with the cataclysmic events of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame?

Spider-Man: Far From Home Wants to Dive Into the Minutiae of What Happened After Thanos’ Snap

Ever since Avengers: Infinity War saw half the world’s population vanish in a single snap, there’s been the joke that a great Disney+ Marvel series could delve into the little details of just how the world logistically deals with such a monumental population shift. Turns out, it might not need a TV show, because Spider-Man: Far…

Avengers: Endgame‘s Editor Came Up With One of the Best Lines of the Film

Avengers: Endgame is a movie almost entirely about providing a sense of payoff—to varying degrees of success—to 11 years of Marvel moviemaking. But one of its most powerful payoffs to the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe wasn’t actually in the film from the start. In fact, it didn’t even come from the Russo brothers or the screenwriters.…

Hulk smash. The Hulk has always smashed; it’s his thing and he’s incredibly good at it. But in Avengers: Endgame, the Hulk is given a new emotional depth that allows him to do more than express rage with his irradiated fists.
