Would "Rage" Make an Impact in a New Season of Luke Cage?
When we look back at the shows Marvel put on Netflix, Luke Cage is one of the major successes. In addition to just being a good show, and picking up from where Luke's debut left off in Jessica Jones, it managed to address social issues in a way that really put the audience in the perspective of a character we don't see much; a black superhero. It felt (at least to me as a white viewer, so take this with a huge grain of salt) like it was trying to provide a genuine experience rather than simply co-opting blacknesss to try to get credit. It managed to handle the blacksplotation-era inspiration of the character, and to update him in a way that felt empowering rather than exploitative.

'Thor: Love and Thunder' To Use The Volume Technology Used For 'The Mandalorian'
Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the biggest unknowns in recent cinema. After the excitement that was Infinity War and Endgame, as well as the departures of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans from the films, that leaves Chris Hemsworth as the remaining member of the "big three" (so to speak) Marvel characters.

Sony Chairman Confirms That 'Spider-Man 3' And 'Venom 2' Will Not Release In Theaters Until Pandemic Is Over
Since the filming of many production shoots have been delayed indefinitely due to the ongoing pandemic, many studios have been floating the idea of release dates, but we have all seen that these do not really stick. With the release of Tenet after numerous delays and teases, there was some hope of the return of normalcy in the cinema industry, with production starting again and films finally sticking to their schedules. Alas, this was just an experiment, and a failed one at that. The hope had been for Marvel Studios to start up the production for their films soon to meet their set release dates. Tom Holland believed that he would finish his third Spider-Man film by February. As new films are being released, it seems that Sony Pictures have reconsidered their production schedule.

The Case for MODOK
For those who don’t know, MODOK (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing) was once a brilliant human scientist named George Tarleton. Tarleton was originally only a technician in the employ of the nefarious Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM). In order to better study the recently created Cosmic Cube, Tarleton’s bosses subjected him to experimental mutagenics, creating MODOC (Mental Organism Designed Only for Computing). As is so often the case in these Frankenstein-esque stories, MODOC rebelled, killing his bosses and becoming MODOK, the new leader of AIM. Ever since then, he’s been a consistent thorn in the sides of many of Marvel’s heroes, most notably Captain America, Iron Man, and the Avengers.
