Marvel Studios will be expanding their cinematic universe by going cosmic after Avengers 4. Earlier this year, the studio went to Matthew Firpo and Ryan Firpo to pen the script for The Eternals, featuring a cosmic group of superheroes that are comparable to DC’s The New Gods. And now they have found a new director. New reports confirm that The Rider director Chloe Zhao will helm the film. More on the story below.

We’ve always known Star Wars and Marvel would be a big part of Disney’s streaming service, which will be called Disney Play. But it’s not just going to be a bunch of existing movies, there’s going to be original content as well. We know that multiple original Star Wars series are currently being developed, including one with Iron Man director Jon Favreau involved. We also know that these series will not be cheap to produce.

Now we’re starting to see what’s in the works on the Marvel side of things. It’s being reported that Disney is developing multiple Marvel series revolving around various characters such as Loki, Scarlet Witch, and other characters who haven’t received their own standalone movies.

To say that Avengers: Infinity War ended on an emotionally taxing cliffhanger would be the understatement of the year. It’s still going to be nine long months until we get to see another Marvel Cinematic Universe film, and even longer before we could see the next Avengers film.

That being said, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says Avengers 4 will have a definitive ending. More on the story below.

Marvel Studios has a bit of a habit of announcing sequels before the release of the first film. That being said, it would look like things are in a holding pattern for Doctor Strange. Though the film was a commercial success, it was met with mixed reviews. That being said, the title character is still an important thread in the Marvel Cinematic Universe tapestry. So, of course, Doctor Strange 2 would be in order. And now it looks like one is actually happening. At least, according to Kevin Feige. Check out what he had to say here below.

In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is serving the remaining days of his house arrest in San Francisco as a consequence of his actions in the events of Captain America: Civil War. Approached by Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), Lang must once again don the Ant-Man suit and fight alongside the Wasp. The urgent mission soon leads to secret revelations from the past as the dynamic duo finds themselves in an epic battle against a powerful new enemy.

We were fortunate enough to sit down with our fellow members of the press to talk about the film with Rudd, Lilly, director Peyton Reed, and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. There they talked about writing the script, the logistics of filming a car chase, the film’s themes, and more. Check out what they had to say below.

Scott Lang’s (Paul Rudd) life will never be the same after the events of Captain America: Civil War. In Ant-Man and the Wasp, our title hero finds himself in familiar territory, an ex-convict who is trying to live on the straightened arrow. Well, an ex-convict who helped Captain America commit treason. But who remembers those things. Now with a few days of house arrest left, Scott feels like he can live on the straightened arrow. That is, until, he is pulled out of his house by Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). The two bring him a new mission that could potentially rescue Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) from the Quantum Realm. But it won’t be easy, especially when you got the Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) and Sonny Burch (Walton Goggins) going after Hank’s tech.

We were fortunate enough to sit down with our fellow journalists to talk to director Peyton Reed and Marvel Studios’ president Kevin Feige, along with Rudd, Lilly, John-Kamen, Douglas, and Laurence Fishburne about the film, its place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, villainy, and more. Check out what they had to say below.

Marvel Studios has a problem with leaks. And if you know anything about the studio, you know who is doing the leaking. Spider-Man: Homecoming actor Tom Holland has somewhat of a reputation of spoiling things. It may not ruin the viewing experience, but if Marvel wants to keep things a secret, they best not give Holland any information. We all know that there will be another webslinging adventure, but we’re still unsure how that is even possible given what has happened to Peter Parker in Avengers: Infinity War. But it looks like we at least know the title of the next Spider-Man film.

According to Holland, the next film will be called Spider-Man: Far From Home, a title that makes sense and may have a duel meaning to it. Check out Holland’s confirmation in the video here below.

Things are progressing quickly for the long-awaited Black Widow standalone film. Earlier this year, Marvel Studios brought in Jac Schaeffer (TiMER, Olaf’s Frozen Adventure) to pen the script. This was followed by meetings with Deniz Gamze Erguven (the Turkish movie Mustang), Chloe Zhao (The Rider), and Amma Asante (A United Kingdom) as potential directors.

Now it looks like Marvel has narrowed it down to three. According to new reports, Cate Shortland (Lore, Berlin Syndrome), Maggie Betts (Novitiate), and Asante are the most likely candidates. More on the story below.

Black Panther is the 18th Marvel Studios film to be released. Now just a few months after its initial release, it is coming home on Blu-ray and digital.

Director Ryan Coogler presents audiences with a new kind of superhero film. By weaving in social issues – like culture, identity, and representation – that affect us today, he turns what would have been an ordinary comic book movie into an extraordinary crowning achievement. It’s certainly not a risky film, but one that needed to be made. For there is a superhero in everyone, and it’s high time that we get to see more representation on the big screen. Check out my review of Black Panther on 4K below.

You might have noticed that Avengers: Infinity War came out over the weekend. The highly anticipated film broke all kinds of box office records, and in doing so, it made itself the number one film around the world, grossing over $640.5 million.

But as many of us mourn the loss of our heroes – not a spoiler, you all knew it was coming – Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is sending his heartfelt thanks to the fans that have stuck around for the past ten years. But that’s not all. Lucasfilm is also congratulating Marvel Studios for dethroning their Star Wars: The Force Awakens box office reign. Check out both messages in the full story, below.
