Before “Iron Man” and “Thor,” before “Spider-Man” and “X-Men,” there was “Blade.” Starring Wesley Snipes as the titular daywalking half-vampire vampire slayer, the movie debuted in 1998 at a time when Marvel comics had yet to enjoy a successful feature film adaptation. The New Line Cinema production was enough of a hit — grossing $131.2 million worldwide — that Snipes returned for two sequels, establishing the company’s first ever bona fide movie franchise. Had “Blade” bombed, the Marvel Cinematic Universe may never have happened.
So when Marvel Studios announced in 2019 that two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali was going to bring the character to the MCU, it seemed like a total no brainer.
Five years later, however, “Blade” has weathered the Covid-19 pandemic and two major guild strikes, faced three release date changes, lost two directors, and hired at least a half dozen screenwriters in what could be the most protracted development process...

Avengers: Endgame will forever remain one of the most iconic and unforgettable superhero films to have ever graced this planet for a number of reasons. Whether it was the adrenaline-pumping action sequences, the excitement during the return of the superheroes, or the tears that rolled down our faces when Iron Man died, Avengers: Endgame is an emotion on its own.

Thanos sure gave the Avengers and the honorary Avengers a run for their money during the final battle. And right up until the final moment, it seemed that a supervillain was finally able to get the upper hand. However, fans of DC are convinced that the fight would have ended in a matter of minutes if Thanos was up against Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and Gal Gadot’s superheroes.

Actor Mark Ruffalo became the definitive Hulk of the MCU after the franchise failed at trying its hand with Edward Norton in The Incredible Hulk. The actor made his MCU debut with The Avengers, after which he appeared in multiple titles, including Thor: Ragnarok and She-Hulk: Attorney At Law. However, he has yet to receive a solo film.
One of the defining characteristics of the Hulk is his green skin color. As a result of his exposure to gamma radiations, the green has been his most defining quality and has even led to him being given multiple monickers. Comic book legend, Stan Lee, who created the character, however, reportedly initially wanted the character to be grey.

Long before Marvel made history with its billion-dollar Avengers film or Academy Award-nominated Black Panther, the pieces of the comic universe were scattered among Hollywood’s numerous studios. The MCU played with only the spades in its deck by bringing out Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America.
But true universe-building only began when Disney acquired Marvel Studios in 2009 and 20th Century Studios in 2019, essentially bringing the MCU, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four properties under one banner.

Among them, X-Men and the Fantastic Four primarily take the cake with Pedro Pascal leading the charge in the MCU Phase Six film.

Somewhere between Sausage Factory and the world’s most inappropriate sex ed class lies Spermageddon, an animated feature from Norway that turns one of the body’s fluids into a gross-out comic spectacle. If you didn’t know that sperm cells could sing, dance, read science textbooks and make lots of butt jokes, well now you know.
Hatched from the minds of director Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow, The Trip) and animator Ramsus A. Silversten (Bold Eagles), the movie is both an illustrative teaching tool for adolescents curious about the inner workings of their private parts, and a button-pushing, secretion-shooting exploitation flick aiming to get laughs out of everything from masturbation to contraception to the formation of bowel movements.
Premiering in Annecy’s Midnight Special section, Spermageddon will play best with the kind of rowdy late-night audience looking for a good time, both on the screen and perhaps off it. Otherwise,...

Robert Downey Jr. had a new lease on life when he was cast as Tony Stark in the MCU. Beginning his career with Iron Man, the actor bounced back from being an industry pariah to a world-renowned star. Downey Jr. went on to become the face of the MCU, starring in team-up films such as The Avengers, as well as the Iron Man trilogy.
While Marvel gave him a new beginning, being cast by the studio reportedly helped many other actors, including Paul Bettany. Bettany first joined the MCU as the voice of J.A.R.V.I.S. and then appeared as Vision. The actor reportedly had a tough time as a teen and was busking in the streets before he was kicked out of his apartment in London.

It’s not uncommon for actors to not consume the art they’re a part of, and similar was the case for Paul Bettany, especially during his initial years with Marvel. The actor, who gained recognition in the 2000s following the success of films, including A Knight’s Tale and A Beautiful Mind, has become notable for playing Vision in the MCU.
However, prior to playing Vision in Avengers: The Age of Ultron, Bettany was completely unaware of the larger MCU, despite voicing Tony Stark’s J.A.R.V.I.S.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has more A-list actors than any other major franchise in Hollywood, making stars of newcomers such as Simu Liu, Sebastian Stan, and Tom Holland while also weaving in veterans such as Robert Redford, Samuel L. Jackson, and Cate Blanchett. The sheer amount of talent on display across the MCU’s many movies and TV shows means that, naturally, the MCU has its fingers in every awards show pie. In other awards, you’ll always find an MCU alum or two nominated at any major awards ceremony. So, speaking of that, here are eight MCU actors past and present we think will be nominated for an Emmy this year.
Donald Glover — “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”
Okay, so admittedly Glover isn’t the first name you think of when you conjure up MCU actors, but he did feature in a scene with Holland’s Spider-Man in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” as Aaron Davis,...

James Gunn’s Superman seems to have a new update. According to an industry insider, the film would be featuring characters from the upcoming Dcu animated series Creature Commandos. The news has led fans to speculate which character would be making an appearance, with most convinced that Amanda Waller will be the one.
Waller has been an important part of the DC Universe since the days of the Dceu. The role was played by Viola Davis in Suicide Squad and The Suicide Squad, acting as a recruiter of metahumans and villains. The character is also set to receive her own spinoff series Waller after her appearance in the show Peacemaker.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was the first MCU project to introduce the idea that anyone can now be turned into a Hulk, and we've since learned that will be a key plot point in the long-rumoured World War Hulk (or World War Hulks) movie.
It's highly unlikely that we'll get a faithful adaptation of the five-part event series, and it's likely "World War Hulk" will instead refer to a battle between Earth's many Hulks. However, we may still see Burce break bad or even get a cosmic element to the story which ties into Marvel Studios' wider plans.
In the comics, the Green Goliath is sent into space by The Illuminati and later returns to take revenge after the ship they constructed blew up and killed his wife and unborn child. No matter how much of that Marvel Studios adapts, there are some specific moments we want to see brought to the big screen.

Even the once-indomitable Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t bulletproof to superhero fatigue, at least not anymore.
The MCU went from making cinematic behemoths to box-office failures, an unfortunate yet conspicuous development that has taken place in recent years. But what is being labeled as superhero fatigue – the supposed culprit behind the studio’s morbid flops – isn’t the actual root of the problem. And The Boys‘ Antony Starr has the perfect solution for giants like Marvel Studios to fix that.

Deadpool & Wolverine: First Hot Toys Figure Reveals Our Best Look Yet At Hugh Jackman's Masked Logan

To kickstart their month-long Marvel 85th aniversary showcase, Hot Toys has debuted their first official collectible sixth-scale figure from Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine and it spotlights a character that is the best there is at what they do, but what they do best isn't very nice - Hugh Jackman's Wolverine!
While the studio has yet to reveal Wolverine sporting his mask in any of the trailers, the screen-accurate collectible does seemingly give us our best look yet at Jackman's Logan masked up and read for battle. As per the announcement, the collectible features a newly developed masked head sculpt with interchangeable lower faces showcasing different expressions, a highly poseable muscular body, arms made in silicone material with seamless elbows design, carefully tailored costume that replicates his battle outfit, multiple interchangeable hands with attachable bladed claws for additional posing options.

The sun may be setting on the Marvel empire but the tired old franchise might yet have a few tricks up its sleeves. Refusing to go down without a bang, the MCU has started to collect the debt from its past (and a few from the future). As a result, it’s finally time for Midnight Sons, the highly anticipated project to come to fruition after years of unfulfilled expectations and a grueling cinematic experience.
Midnight Sons [Credit: Marvel Comics]To Marvel’s credit, what the superhero vehicle lacks in quality, it more than makes up for in timing. After scarring people’s memories with movies like Thor: Love and Thunder and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the MCU seems to have shifted its gears back to neutral instead of driving in reverse. With Midnight Sons, the franchise can begin to heal its past mistakes and start anew.

The MCU has grown big with 33 movies and many TV shows. Lately, the quality seems to be dropping. But still, it’s clear that the MCU has made some top-notch superhero movies.
Fans on Ranker voted for their favorites, with over 200,000 votes. The list has some unexpected picks and some you’d totally anticipate.
10. ‘Black Widow’ (2021)
‘Black Widow’ came out after Natasha’s character had already met her tragic end, prompting fans to rush to theaters to bid her farewell in her standalone movie. The film was largely liked, featuring great action scenes and a strong supporting cast. However, much attention was drawn to Johansson’s legal battle with the studio over its early release on Disney+. Despite these issues, ‘Black Widow’ managed to secure a spot in the top 10, which is somewhat surprising considering the circumstances.

MCU so far spans 33 movies and numerous TV shows, as the universe keeps expanding the quality of movies and other projects generally seems to have declined in recent years.
However, despite these recent changes, it’s an undeniable fact that the MCU has given us some of the best superhero movies in the history of the genre. Luckily, fans gathered on Ranker with over 200,000 votes and picked Crème de la crème movies of the MCU. Some placements are surprising, while some are exactly where you would expect them.
10. ‘Black Widow’ (2021)
‘Black Widow’ was released after Natasha already tragically passed away, so fans hurried to theaters to “say goodbye” to the character in her final and standalone movie. The movie was generally received well with brilliant action sequences and a stellar supporting cast. However, it was mostly marked by Johansson’s lawsuit against the studio for releasing the movie on Disney+ too soon.

A combination of Jonathan Majors' firing and the tepid response to Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania has led to Marvel Studios changing its plans for Kang the Conqueror.
While the time-travelling villain and his many Variants are still expected to factor into the Multiverse Saga, it's thought he'll be replaced or at least joined by one or more threats to the Multiverse. The question is, who will that be when Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars roll around?
In this feature, we're taking a look at the most intriguing possibilities. From those who can stand alongside Kang to the baddies who might just usurp him as the Multiverse's greatest threat, we think you'll have fun seeing who we've singled out.

Taking over the mantle from Andrew Garfield, the Tom Holland version of Spider-Man took a majestic leap straight into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, kick-starting a new era of collaboration between Marvel and Sony. The entry of the teenage web-slinger, though, happened under the banner of Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man during the split within the Avengers in Captain America: Civil War, with the character remaining in the shadows of his mentor for quite a long time.

Did you know that one of the most hilarious scenes in Disney+’s Hawkeye was improvised? Marvel stars Florence Pugh and Hailee Steinfeld are not only talented but quick-witted actresses as well. Because of this one particular improvisation, it made the whole scene a lot better.

Of course, fans will never forget the king of improvisations within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of Robert Downey Jr.’s unscripted lines even changed the entire direction of the franchise. Because of this, the second generation of heroes in the MCU keeps his legacy alive.

The unbelievable but perfectly deserved success of X-Men ‘97 gave fans one of the best TV/movie adaptations of the evergreen X-Men in recent years. The show, which was a revival of the classic 90s TV series, delightfully managed to stay consistent with the traditional arc while giving fans plenty to chew on for the time being.

However, as Marvel will testify, viewers are constantly on the lookout for new content, and X-Men ‘97 has resulted in considerable interest in similar reboots of some of the other animated offerings that Marvel can work on. That includes a plethora of its 90s animated shows, such as Iron Man, Spider-Man, Spider-Man Unlimited, or even The Incredible Hulk.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has undoubtedly noticed a slump in quality post Avengers: Endgame. Most new heroes introduced to replace the Og ones did not work well among fans. While heroes like Shang-Chi and Moon Knight shone, She-Hulk was highly criticized by fans worldwide.
According to new reports, She-Hulk may return to the MCU in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World. As if the film was already into enough complications with its several reshoots, this report has disappointed the fans on a different level.

One aspect that helped Spider-Man pop off in the 60s was his everyday struggles, which helped fans relate to the character, and it soon became the defining aspect of the character. Moreover, this core theme was beautifully translated into the big screen, thanks to Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, which didn’t drop the ball while showcasing a hero’s struggle with responsibilities.
However, in the Tom Holland-led trilogy, the personal struggles of the character were sidelined after the first film, as being part of the MCU, the character had bigger problems to worry about. But it appears that the MCU is planning to go back to the character’s roots with the upcoming installment.

At a time when the Marvel Cinematic Universe had just aired The Avengers on the big screen and laid claim as the best interconnected comic universe to date, DC Studios came up with its own iteration just a year later. In 2013, Zack Snyder kick-started the DC Extended Universe with his Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as the titular lead. However, instead of competing head-to-head with the Iron Man producing studio, it went down with sweeping division.

2008’s Iron Man kick-started the Marvel Cinematic Universe and 2012’s The Avengers put the connected franchise into the mega-spotlight for featuring one of the biggest live-action comic crossovers ever. The trend continued in the coming years as Marvel Studios upped its scale and ambitions with new characters and storylines, complemented by a star-studded Avengers series, culminating it all with the end of its Infinity Saga, or phase three.

It’s been five years since Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger was canceled by Freeform after two seasons, and the rumors of a series revival have started to gain momentum again. There was not much news on the series after it was scrapped, but an insider has provided an insight as to the fate of the show.

Cloak & Dagger was well-received by fans after the first installment aired in 2018, but the sequel proved to be a hit-and-miss as viewership dropped tremendously. While this is not entirely the reason why it was never renewed, ratings play a big part in a franchise’s life.

Since its inception, MCU has captivated audiences with its innovative storytelling, groundbreaking visuals, and some of the most iconic superhero suit-up scenes. However, as the franchise progressed and Kevin Feige introduced nano-tech to reshape these sequences, it prompted fans to reflect on the evolution of Iron Man and other superheroes’ armors and the impact of this technological advancement.

Pointing at how the suit-up scenes used to be cooler than they are today, since the introduction of nanotechnology, fans express their disappointment over Kevin Feige’s use of nanotech. Since the tech advancement replaces the mechanical process of donning the armor with CGI effects, few fans are rallying on social media to abolish it in the MCU.

Robert Downey Jr. is one of the most sarcastic and incredibly humorous celebrities in the entertainment industry holding an inquisitively extensive knowledge of almost everything. In short, he is an impeccably witty genius and faces no problem whatsoever in bringing those very skills to light through his characters on the big screens as well — take his version of Iron Man, for instance.

But while his remarkable performance as the Marvel superhero has launched him to such heights of extraordinary fame that his name is used synonymously with Tony Stark’s, that isn’t the only time he immaculately showcased his brilliant chops. This stands after watching him humiliate Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly in his $524 million Sherlock Holmes — one that would put even Iron Man to shame!

But while his remarkable performance as the Marvel superhero has launched him to such heights of extraordinary fame that his name is used synonymously with Tony Stark’s, that isn’t the only time he immaculately showcased his brilliant chops. This stands after watching him humiliate Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly in his $524 million Sherlock Holmes — one that would put even Iron Man to shame!

It has been a few months since the fiasco of Jonathan Majors was revealed to the public and the actor was removed from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kevin Feige faced immense pressure as Majors was going to portray the character of Kang the Conqueror.

With Majors departing from Marvel Studios, the hunt for a new actor or a new villain was on. Several speculations indicated that Doctor Doom could be the new big baddie. As per a recent report, however, Doctor Doom could potentially turn into a hero… in the future MCU!

In the comics, Doctor Doom has always been an arch nemesis of Reed Richards and The Fantastic Four. Occasionally fighting other heroes, Dr. Doom has come in contact with Black Panther, Spider-Man, and, the Avengers as well.

There are several differences between the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the world of Marvel Comics. While the MCU is more of a family entertainment package, the comics are full of some of the best and the worst stories of all time that are surely not made for the faint of heart.

Of course — spoiler alert — the character’s heroic death in Avengers: Endgame would seem to rule out Downey’s and his character’s involvement in future MCU efforts, but you never know. (Stranger things have happened in the MCU.) Fans’ hopes have only been piqued by a new interview Downey gave to Variety with Jodie Foster, in which he said he’s “surprisingly open” to reprising his role if given the opportunity.

Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man kickstarted the MCU with his first solo film introducing audiences to his witty and sarcastic billionaire character. Audiences loved the character and Downey Jr.’s performance, even calling it perfect casting. The actor and the role would become the defining character in the MCU that would lead the Avengers.

Happy Best Friends Day!
To celebrate, Marvel Studios has released an awesome new one-minute extended TV trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, offering a ton of never-before-seen new footage as the Merc with a Mouth (Ryan Reynolds) teams up with Weapon X (Hugh Jackman) to take on the exceedingly dangerous Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) and save the multiverse - and their friends - before it's all too late.
While the latest promo still doesn't offer a first look at Jackman's fan-favorite mutant sporting his iconic mask, it does give us our first official look at Lady Deadpool... or, at least, her feet, but it's our first visual confirmation that she will indeed appear in the upcoming superhero feature. Now, as for who's playing her, that's anyone's guess, but the rumor mill has been heavily pointing in the direction of Reynolds' real-life wife Blake Lively or singer/songwriter Taylor Swift, who is a...

The world changed forever when Samuel L. Jackson showed up in the post-credits scene of Iron Man as Nick Fury talking to Robert Downey Jr. about the ‘Avengers Initiative’. The scene gave birth to the MCU and the culture of post-credits scenes that did not just feature in the Marvel films but also carried over to every other shared cinematic universe.
While the legendary scene teased The Avengers, which drove fans crazy, one deleted take of the scene showed Jackson referring to Spider-Man and the X-Men. While both properties were owned by Sony and Fox at the time, the dialogue proved that producer and Marvel CEO Kevin Feige always wanted to include the two in the MCU.

Given the tight timelines and large financial investments, most superhero flicks adhere to a script. But sometimes, a unique opportunity for actors to improvise their own lines may occur during the most expensive blockbusters. Take, for example, the iconic duo of Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo, who, armed with their stellar improvisational skills, breathed unscripted life into one of our favorite scenes in The Avengers.

Indeed, we witnessed a powerful blend of humor & camaraderie after the ‘final battle’ in the flick, not because of scripted words but rather because of the natural chemistry between these actors. Who could have forgotten the scene in Joss Whedon’s 2012 movie where, after Iron Man’s near-fatal descent, the Hulk’s spontaneous roar revived him?

One deleted moment in Captain America: Civil War could have ruined the entire arc of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man. In an earlier draft of the movie, Tony Stark makes a statement that implies that he and Pepper Potts are having a baby. While the characters eventually have a baby in the MCU, it happens much later in the films. Stark’s very young daughter served as one of the biggest emotional factors in Iron Man’s final appearance.

Another scene was cut from Avengers: Endgame, an interaction between Tony Stark and a very adult Morgan Stark, played by Katherine Langford, in the Soul World. This scene would’ve also confused fans and negatively impacted his scenes with Lexi Rabe’s young Morgan in the film.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where every detail seems to hold a deeper significance, Robert Downey Jr.’s wardrobe choice in the 2012 action flick, The Avengers is no exception. While usually it’s Iron Man’s suit that steals the spotlight, this time it’s his casual attire that conceals a subtle nod to dedicated Marvel fans.

According to eagle-eyed fans and scooper accounts, the Helicarrier scene from The Avengers, where Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark appeared in a Black Sabbath t-shirt offered a very distinct hidden message to Marvel fans. Apparently, Downey Jr.’s not-so-subtle wardrobe choice offered a nod to both classic rock and the superhero persona he embodied.

The first Iron Man film led by Robert Downey Jr. in 2008 served as the launchpad for the Marvel Cinematic Universe that became a name synonymous with success. The idea of a flamboyant billionaire who built himself a suit of armor from metal scraps in a cave resonated with the audience, becoming a solid foundation for the superhero franchise that we know and adore.

Benedict Cumberbatch plays Stephen Strange a.k.a Doctor Strange in the MCU. One of the leading figures of the Avengers, Strange, has made multiple appearances, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The character was last seen in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Though Strange is an important character, his future in the MCU has been unclear. However, a recent update sees him taking a backseat to make way for Benedict Wong’s Wong to act as a recruiter. According to a new rumor, Wong, the current Sorcerer Supreme, will be recruiting new Avengers for the film Captain America: Brave New World.

The Ultimates #1 went on sale earlier this week (you can read our recap by clicking here), and thanks to ComicBook.com, we have a first look at the second issue ahead of its release on July 10.
In the sneak peek, the Ultimates are shown fighting their way into the White House, presumably to find out more about The Maker's Council. The heroes eventually make their way inside where we see a photograph of The Maker cosying up to the United States President.
It appears Captain America, who has only just come out of the ice, will also learn more about America's history and how the United States is no more after the world's supervillains carved the world up as they saw fit.
As for the Iron Man-like baddie waiting for Cap in the Oval Office, we're pretty sure that's Midas.
