Rumor: Doctor Strange To Face A Huge Dilemma In His Sequel
Stephen Strange has not always been the master of the mystic arts. Before he was the Sorcerer Supreme, he was a gifted neurosurgeon, which means he had to take the Hippocratic Oath pledging to do no harm. But as the Sorcerer Supreme, he has also vowed to protect reality by whatever means necessary, a vow that could very well mean doing harm against threats to reality.

Resurfaced Comments From Simu Liu Could Stop 'Shang-Chi' China Release
With its Chinese-born star, exploration of Asian culture, and box office success in the United States, it looked like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings would be a hit in China. Due to its large population, U.S. films that are released there often make large amounts of box office receipts. However, China heavily regulates which U.S. films get released in the country. And prior negative comments by a person associated with a U.S. film looking to be released in China will often stop the film from being released in China.

My Loki is Not a Marvel Villain
Since 2011, Marvel Cinematic Universe has laid claim to the glorious world of Norse mythology, forged by Scandinavian ancestors. Many die hard fans have believed this claim, and all the lore the studios have been adding to fit their numerous overlapping plotlines. Marvel has referenced actual parable tales from Norse mythology, such as Loki playing a trick on Sif by cutting off all her hair while she slept. The references, while at times being delightfully subtle in nature, making it pleasing to those who know the actual tales, the entirety of the series still lacks an accurate representation of the nine realms of Norse mythology overall. In fact, I believe Marvel, the film and television production companies in general, are guilty of misusing Norse mythology in such a way that it never reaches the height of its true potential. The nine realms have so much more to offer, yet fans rarely see more than a basic interpretation of the three most commonly known realms, Midgard, Asgard, and Jotunheim. Jotunheim still has a tendency not to be used in plotlines as readily as the other two, more often using characters that are from that realm, instead of having the plotline take place in that location.

Could We See Hobgoblin Instead of Green Goblin In 'No Way Home?'
Since the release of the newest trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home, the Marvel fan community has been abuzz with thoughts, theories, and hype for the next chapter in Peter Parker's story. While the Raimi trilogy has a strong amount of support among comic book and super hero fans there are those who would argue that Spidey has never looked better than his current iteration in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Whether you're a fan of Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, or Andrew Garfield, there is a chance you'll get to see your favorite web-slinger in action, as rumors abound that, as the MCU's multiverse unfolds, Kevin Feige and his creative team will bring multiple renditions of Peter Parker into the upcoming film.

Guy Pearce States His MCU Character May Not Be Gone Forever
It is a dream of many actors and actresses to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is also a dream to play a villain in the MCU. However, the problem is, if you do get a dream role as a villain in the MCU, chances are, your character will be killed off or destroyed by the end movie, or a second one, if you are lucky. Many actors and actresses don’t think that one movie is enough and many would love the chance to come back. Guy Pearce is one of these actors.

Jon Bernthal Opens Up About A Return To Punisher Role In The MCU
Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle was one of the best renditions of the Punisher that I have ever seen on screen (although I do love watching Thomas Jane go after John Travolta). Although the second season was a little rocky and clearly missed the mark with die-hard Punisher fans, myself included, it was still a really good addition to the Netflix Marvel pantheon. I cannot imagine anyone else in the role of Frank Castle now. However, with the future of the Netflix heroes we know and love and their place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) thrown into limbo, it is unclear if we will see these characters again on the big or small screen. Several of the actors from those shows have stated their interest in returning to the role, and some people have speculated that Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock may appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, Jon Bernthal commented on whether he would like to return as the Punisher in the future.

Brie Larson Shares Intense Training Video For ‘The Marvels’
In 2019 Brie Larson starred as the titular Captain Marvel in the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe smash hit. The movie was mainly set in the 1980's and told the origin story of Carol Danvers, the talented Air Force pilot who became Captain Marvel. We saw the journey of an amnesiac Kree Starforce member, her meeting with Nick Fury before the formation of the Avengers, her subsequent transformation into Captain Marvel, as well as the role she played in the war between the Skull and the Kree. Danvers was arguably the strongest Avenger given the raw power resulting from the cosmic energy she absorbed from the Tesseract. We would agree that intense physical training was necessary to prepare her to wield such power.

'What If..?': The Best Easter Eggs And Throwbacks In 'What If.. Zombies?!'
After a fun first two episodes, Marvel's What If..? took a dark turn, with episodes three and four dealing with rather dark tales. This continued in episode five, 'What If.. Zombies?!', with an episode centered around the MCU being plunged into a Zombie Apocalypse. What If..? is probably the best chance Marvel Studios were ever going to have to adapt the Marvel: Zombies spin-off comics into the MCU, and the result is bizarre, but compelling viewing.
