While the future of the MCU on the big screen will remain unclear until Marvel Studios announces the Phase 4 release slate later this year, its future in streaming seems to be on pretty solid ground. WandaVision Wanda Maximoff and the Vision have long been considered to be the most boring couple in the MCU, but this series could still be successful. For starters, the Vision is still dead and the Mind Stone has been buried in the past by Steve Rogers, so how he’ll even show up in the series is an intriguing mystery....

If one were to judge from trailers alone, Star Trek Beyond looks to be the fastest-moving Star Trek movie yet. The sheer amount of exciting things happening in the short ads shows just how far we have come from the days of Shatner’s Kirk pontificating on the deck of the Enterprise, with every piece of dialogue attached to a thoughtful pause. Yes, Beyond will likely be bigger and more muscular than anything we’ve ever seen come out of this universe....

Anyone with access to a TV or the internet no doubt knows something about the 50-plus year phenomenon that is Doctor Who. Fans, of course, call him simply The Doctor. Referring to the character as “Doctor Who” will earn you an eye roll from fans. It’s sort of like saying James T. Kirk was the commander of the “USS Star Trek.” Just plain embarrassing. As we all wait (and wait) for the Christmas episode, we thought we’d show some love to the unsung heroes of the series: all those lovable companions....

Let’s face it, there are a lot of bad supervillains in the annals of Marvel Comics. For every Doctor Doom and Red Skull, there is a Stilt-Man or a Big Wheel. Yes, we understand that there is a lot of love for some of those less-than-brilliant villains… even if it stems from irony or nostalgia. The villains on this list are not all good supervillains. Some are just the opposite, in fact....

The release of Avengers: Infinity War will mark Marvel Studios’ 10-year anniversary, a historic movie event that promises to unite a wide variety of characters spawning from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A staggering number, over 60 characters are set to appear in Infinity War, with over 20 of them being our decade-old heroes. Together they seem virtually unstoppable, but with the arrival of Thanos, who’s in quest for the six Infinity Stones, the Avengers and company will face their ultimate test....

The internet is in no danger of running out of fans. We don’t have the official numbers, but we’d estimate that people have dedicated about a hojillion pages of the repository of all human knowledge to cartoons, books, and movies that are important to them. This includes reviews, critiques, and analysis, sure. However, enthusiastic fans also churn out untold amounts of tribute material. For any particular subject, it’s not hard to find song parodies, tribute videos, fanfic, and art....

There’s no way of getting around it: Solo: A Star Wars Story has, in no way, been the box office success that Disney and Lucasfilm were expecting it to be. After initial opening weekend predictions were adjusted down time and again, ticket sales took an even further steep fall in the second week of release, plummeting over 60% in total gross from opening weekend. Critic responses to the movie have been lukewarm at best, with reviews only praising certain performances including Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson, and occasionally leading man Alden Ehrenreich....

Even when a film is deserving of a perfect 5/5 rating, it doesn’t mean that it’s flawless. Directors spend so much time making sure that the larger picture of their film is cohesive, that sometimes little things can fall through the cracks when editing the final cut. Filmmakers in the industry are highly-paid professionals, but they are human, which means they’re as prone to errors as anyone else. From Best Picture contenders to fun, escapist action flicks, and anything in between, 2015 had no shortage of goofs in the biggest projects....

Behind every great movie, there’s a team of dedicated, talented artists who work together tirelessly to produce a product that they hope critics and audiences will embrace. When an actor and director develop a rapport onscreen and off, they can develop a working relationship that is mutually beneficial. What constitutes a successful actor-director pairing? It can be movies that generate widespread critical acclaim, resulting in a busy awards season, or a big-budget blockbuster that raises both of their profiles and popularity, paving the way for lengthy careers....

Unlike the movie adaptation, Ant-Man and the Wasp’s relationship is as unusual as their super-powers. ‘Originally introduced in 1963, the duo were conceived through the pages of Tales to Astonish, eventually serving as the original team that made up the Avengers. Flash forward over 50 years into the future and the pair has been through thrilling highs and remarkable lows, leading to the first MCU co-featured superhero title. The Ant-Man sequel follows the relationship of Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne, but original characters Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne also receive significant screen time....

The new MacBook Air is officially here, and it comes with an all-new design, an M2 chip on the inside, and much more. In addition to the big picture changes Apple mentioned on stage at WWDC, there are a few other tidbits worth noting about the 2022 MacBook Air. Head below as we round them up. External Display Support One of the biggest limitations of the MacBook Air with the original M1 chip is that it only supports powering one external display....

A great idea doesn’t always guarantee great movie. Over the years there have been dozens of projects floating around Hollywood that have gotten audiences excited but for one reason or another never made it to the big screen. Here are Screen Rant’s 8 Amazing Movies That Should Have Been Made. Return of The Jedi Sure, fans got an end to the original trilogy from director Richard Marquand, but after Empire Strikes Back, George Lucas approached several filmmakers about the possibility of directing the film....

Ever since 90 Day Fiancé debuted on TLC in 2014, the show has produced some of the most talked about couples in the history of reality television. Some may think that the premise of the show is too real, as the contestants only have 90 days to decide to marry or not. If they don’t, one of them will be sent back to their home country after their K-1 visa expires....

In building the roster of characters for the film adaptation of Guardians of the Galaxy, original screenwriter Nicole Perlman (currently working on Captain Marvel) had chosen the five characters we now know and love. These five however, were not the original characters from the comics. Perlman, and later with James Gunn’s complete rewrite, took inspiration from the more modern (no longer the most modern) Marvel cosmic stories as told by brilliant writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning....

EA has announced that PopCap Games is working on a new Plants vs. Zombies, more than nine years after the release of Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time. The original Plants vs. Zombies was developed by PopCap Games in 2009, and it was met with critical acclaim, instantly becoming one of the best-selling games on the mobile market. Unlike many of the mobile games at the time, it was not free-to-play....

The latest episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., “Principia,” has reintroduced an old S.H.I.E.L.D. concept in a big way. Gravitonium is back in play, and it may be the secret to saving the world in this corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The extremely rare element was introduced back in Season 1’s “The Asset.” Canadian scientist Franklin Hall first theorized the existence of Gravitonium 20 years ago, and even suggested that the element could have unusual gravitic properties....

While some customers already got their hands on the iPhone 14 Pro and Apple Watch Series 8, now others can expect the new premium Apple Watch alongside the second iteration of AirPods Pro. According to our readers and own staff, AirPods Pro 2 and Apple Watch Ultra models are preparing to ship or have already shipped....

Nothing perks someone’s ears like saying there’s a new Stephen King adaptation coming to theaters. Many of King’s best stories have already been transformed into movies and television shows to varying success. The Shining, The Mist, Misery, The Green Mile, and 1408 are just some of the best adaptations yet. It seems like his unique mix of horror and fantasy is perfect for any Halloween special. But in a body of work that contains over 200 stories, there’s bound to be some that would pose a challenge to filmmakers....

Disney released the animated film Aladdin in 1992, solidifying its “Renaissance” era that was preceded by 1989’s The Little Mermaid and 1991’s Beauty and the Beast. Along with it, we were introduced to cherished characters such as the Genie, Princess Jasmine, Jafar, and, most importantly, Aladdin himself. Since then, Aladdin has become one of the most well-recognized and beloved characters in Disney history, prompting him to be brought back for TV shows, Broadway plays, theme park rides, and even a live-action adaptation....

Comic books are a fantastic medium. Because of the visual storytelling and the frequency with which new books come out, over the course of generations, there has been plenty of opportunities to tell amazing stories of all shapes and sizes. In the DC comics universe, often rebooted but never completely forgetting its heritage, there have been plenty of powerful items over the years that have had an enormous impact on the lore of the series....
