Lego has delivered some stunning sets based on the biggest IPs, including Avengers Tower and several Lord of the Rings sets. Fans have come to expect elaborate depictions of some iconic locations, scenes, and characters, and some of the most popular ones have been based on movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recreating battles and scenery in impressive detail has been the biggest selling point of the sets. However, the latest Lego set based on arguably the most significant moment in Avengers: Endgame has turned out to be a big disappointment for many fans.

Lego's Marvel Avengers: Endgame Final Battle (76323) set was recently revealed and will be released on May 1, 2025. Given its name, fans would expect it to be a massive undertaking with plenty of pieces to do the scene justice. However, this new set is surprisingly small, with just 621 pieces included. While the set includes an impressive 10 mini-figures, the...

In 1998, the Marvel Knights line breathed new life into the comic book industry and helped redefine Marvel Comics storytelling for the 21st century.

Now, over 25 years later, two of the imprint’s key creators - influential writer, artist and former Marvel Comics Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada and acclaimed writer Christopher Priest - will present a new evolution of the Marvel Universe under the groundbreaking "Marvel Knights" banner this June in Marvel Knights: The World to Come.

Developed and almost already completed in its entirety, the six-issue series will see Quesada and Priest combine their decades of experience crafting masterful comic book sagas to produce an entirely new vision of the Marvel Universe.

The story begins in Wakanda with startling developments centred around T'Challa, Storm, Shuri, and more that will reverberate across the globe, changing the Marvel mythos as you know it and boldly reinventing its most legendary heroes.

The hype for Sinners has officially increased tenfold, as an Academy Award-winning filmmaker has given the film a glowing endorsement. Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan in a vampire film, the third Warner Bros. movie of 2025, where an actor plays dual roles — following Mickey 17 and The Alto Knights. Sinners is directed by Ryan Coogler, who has just come off two back-to-back Black Panther films, meaning expectations are high. But movie fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as Spike Lee has given the film a glowing endorsement.

The legendary director behind classics like Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, 25th Hour, BlacKkKlansman, and Da 5 Bloods, had the chance to screen Sinners early, and has nothing but great things to say about the movie. Lee posted a photo with director Ryan Coogler on his Instagram in front of the poster for Sinners, revealing he got to see a film screening...

In December 2023, Loki and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star Jonathan Majors was found guilty of one count of reckless assault in the third degree and a charge of harassment as a violation, prompting Marvel Studios to cut ties with him.

That came after an altercation with his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, though Majors has long maintained his innocence. He's since completed a 52-week domestic violence intervention program and is now looking to mount a comeback.

Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, the Kang the Conqueror actor reflected on a member of his legal team breaking the news to him that his time in the MCU had ended...moments after he walked out of the criminal courthouse in lower Manhattan.

"He goes, 'I’m just gonna tell you now,'" Majors recalled. "'That way you’re not surprised, and you can start processing it. They fired you. Marvel fired you.'"

One World Under Doom is officially underway and in months ahead, we'll continue seeing the Marvel Universe forced to bask in the glory that is Doctor Doom's reign.

Following Ryan North and R.B.

This exciting era of storytelling has only just begun and today, you can see what's on the way for the Doom-controlled Marvel Universe this June.

No one is suffering the impact of Doom's power grab more than his archenemies, Marvel's First Family. In Fantastic Four #33 this June, the team will have been reduced to nothing, forcing them to embark on one of the wildest missions in their storied history.

The Marvel Universe is expanding, and it shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. The superhero giant is now looking to take over the video game world after reaching unprecedented levels of success both on the big screen and comic book pages. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Marvel Rivals were just the first in a new wave of titles coming soon to consoles. In 2025, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra will finally hit shelves, followed by the likes of EA Motive's Iron Man and Marvel's Blade at a later date. But perhaps more exciting enough is the impending arrival of the King of Wakanda.

Marvel had already confirmed a 2025 release window for Skydance Media's upcoming superhero action-adventure Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, but now one of the game's prominent voice actors has helped narrow its launch window.

Talking to TheDirect at MultiCon in Los Angeles, California, actor Khary Payton, who voices Azzuri/Black Panther in the upcoming video game, provided a brief update on its development status while also dropping a holiday release window.

"We’re still working," Payton told the publication. "We’re planning on 2025… We’re thinking like a Christmas situation. But I'm so excited."

Now "Christmas" suggests a December release for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, but the holiday season in the United States typically kicks off with the shopping rush in November. Some holiday blockbuster titles also tend to launch in September and October, but that would push Marvel 1943 into the same window as Grand Theft Auto 6, which...

Fans waiting for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra may have a better idea of when to expect the game. During an interview at MultiCon in Los Angeles, voice actor Khary Payton, who plays Black Panther in the game, hinted at a Christmas 2025 release.

“We’re still working. We’re planning on 2025… We’re thinking like a Christmas situation. But I’m so excited.”

Developed by Skydance New Media and led by Uncharted creator Amy Hennig, the game takes players to World War II-era France. It follows Black Panther and Captain America as they team up to battle Hydra forces.

Though in development for over five years, few details have been revealed. The game is confirmed to be a third-person action-adventure coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Call it Chekhov’s editing win. When Anora filmmaker Sean Baker beat Conclave editor Nick Emerson at the Oscars on Sunday night, it all but confirmed the night’s final result would be Anora crowned as Best Picture. That’s because Baker’s upset win in the category ahead of Conclave — the favorite in the odds and the presumed alternate pick to Anora in the Best Picture race — exploded the Edward Berger film's potential win package. Most pundits agreed that Conclave could win Best Picture with Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing, just like Argo did in 2013. But without the editing win, Conclave would’ve had to be Spotlight and won Best Picture with just a screenplay Oscar. Well, Conclave was never as strong as Spotlight throughout the season (and Spotlight didn’t have to face off against an industry juggernaut like Anora). So, Baker’s editing triumph was the ballgame.

Reports have surfaced that Damson Idris will take on a new version of the Black Panther role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. The character he’s set to portray will be a variant of the beloved hero, with a fresh twist.

Leaked concept art (see below) seems to back up this news, showing a design that hints at an altered version of the Black Panther identity. While details remain unclear, the image suggests Idris’ version of the character could have a unique appearance, possibly with changes to the costume and overall style.

The episode count and runtimes for Marvel Television's Wonder Man have been revealed. Unfortunately, the Marvel Cinematic Universe series is set to continue a Disney+ runtime trend that has not won over the majority of the streamer's subscriber base.

In an interview with Collider, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel's Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation, revealed that Wonder Man will consist of eight episodes, which is two less than the 10-episode count that was originally reported for the Disney+ series. Winderbaum also shared that there will not be a consistent length for the episodes, explaining that streaming allows for a little bit of leeway with the runtimes. "There's a little bit of some streaming leeway in the episode runtimes, so I think our shortest episode is 20-something, and our longest is, like, 40-something," the Marvel head revealed. This is an unfortunate update for fans who have voiced their displeasure online at...

For eight seasons, "Monk" struck that perfect balance between hard-cracking detective work and comedy. Police procedurals were a dime a dozen in the early 2000s, but the thing to set this one apart from its contemporaries was the fact the titular Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) dealt with obsessive-compulsive disorder. This fueled his 312 phobias, which occasionally got in the way of him solving cases, but they also allowed him to view the world in a unique way that would help him solve various crimes.

"Monk" ended in 2009, but fans got one last fix thanks to 2023's made-for-Peacock movie, "Mr. Monk's Last Case," which /Film called "an overdue reunion" with much of the central cast reprising their roles. But it's not like the cast was kept in stasis for 13 years between the show's ending and the reunion. Many of them went on to other things, filling out their filmographies with myriad other projects.

Avengers: Doomsday welcomes Robert Downey Jr. back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though the film sees the Oscar-winning actor switch to the dark side after being the titular supergroup's heroic leader for so long. With Downey Jr. appearing for the first time since the emotional ending of Endgame, Doomsday writer Stephen McFeely insists the movie won't be "betraying" that tragic Tony Stark scene.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of the Netflix film, The Electric State, McFeely addressed reuniting with Doomsday's directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, and the shock return of Downey Jr. six years after Endgame's release. Like many fans, McFeely was stunned by the "electric" announcement last summer that Downey Jr. would play Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom in Doomsdayand was hesitant about the idea. However, he insisted the next Avengers sequel wouldn't undermine Endgame's "lovely" ending.

While Joe suggested "we may or may not survive" when the back-to-back shoots are done, he and his brother are "excited" about getting to work with the cast.

The Black Panther world is getting a bit smaller in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brad Winderbaum, the Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation at Marvel Studios, has confirmed that they are no longer moving ahead with a live-action spinoff series centered around Danai Gurira's Okoye.

During an interview with Pay or Wait (via X) to promote Daredevil: Born Again, Winderbaum revealed that the animated Eyes of Wakanda miniseries was the only Black Panther spinoff that would be coming to Disney+ in the near future. "I think fans of Okoye are going to be excited to see her come back, but I don't think it's going to be in a television show. I can't say where and when, but I think there's a lot to look forward to," Winderbaum shared, confirming that the character's Disney+ spinoff had been scrapped.

Tom Holland is undoubtedly one of the major stars in the MCU, having headlined three Spider-Man movies and appearing in three other ensemble films. Holland’s Spider-Man revived the audience’s interest in the web-slinger after Andrew Garfield’s Spidey failed to make an impact with his movies.

Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home is the highest-grossing film in the MCU after the Infinity Saga finale movies, thanks to the involvement of Garfield and Tobey Maguire. However, he has no luck impressing Ms. Marvel star Iman Vellani.

Traditionally, the big final fights in the third act of Marvel Cinematic Universe films are the last chance for the hero to pull every trick in the book to win against their enemy. Losses are occasionally made on the way, especially in Avengers: Infinity War when the heroes lose for the first time against the Titan warlord Thanos. But there are other losses too, in the shape of plot holes that may not ruin the entire battle, but have people questioning the logistics of the fight.

The scale of these battles range from teams in the hundreds fighting against Earth's mightiest heroes to small, one-on-one battles that force the hero to act smartly on their own. But just because there are plot holes that don't make sense means they're bad fight scenes. Many of these are actually among the best in the MCU that defy the rules of our own...

Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan recently opened up about how he and the rest of the cast had the late Chadwick Boseman in mind while filming the sequel. Jordan briefly reprized his role as Killmonger in Wakanda Forever.

In a video interview with GQ discussing his most iconic characters, Jordan recalled what it was like returning to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever without reading the entire script and how he and the rest of the cast wanted to honor Boseman's legacy. "Coming back to do [Black] Panther 2 after the tragedy of losing Chadwick was an extremely tough one. I was in, like, pre-production for Creed 3, so I was like, right getting ready to go direct. At the time, I didn't even read the whole script, so I didn't know what the whole movie was about."

There are levels of pettiness. There’s casual and then, there’s Kendrick Lamar, who operates on a different plane of existence, where grudges are meticulously preserved like fine wine. And when the time is right? He serves them up ice cold.

Case in point, his recent Super Bowl halftime performance, where he seemingly dusted off a seven-year-old verse just to remind the world and, more importantly, Drake that he never forgets. That’s right, this isn’t just rap beef. This is generational hater energy at its peak, and we’re all just here to witness the masterpiece unfold.

But what makes this particular chapter of the Lamar-Drake saga even funnier is where it all started, not with some grand diss track or public spat, but with the most unexpected of sources, Black Panther. Yes, the Marvel movie.

The film...

Michael B. Jordan played one of the McU's best villains in 2018's Black Panther when he suited up as T'Challa's cousin, Erik Killmonger.

The character died but returned in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever when Shuri encountered Killmonger in the Ancestral Plane. He attempted to mould her into a Black Panther like him, and their impactful exchange played heavily into the sequel's final act.

During a recent interview with GQ, Jordan reflected on his surprise MCU return and revealed that filmmaker Ryan Coogler never provided him with the movie's full script.

That ultimately didn't matter, because, for Jordan, it was about doing right by the late Chadwick Boseman.

"Coming back to do [Black] Panther 2 after the tragedy of losing Chadwick [Boseman] was an extremely tough one. I was in like, pre-production for Creed 3, so I was like, right getting ready to go direct," the actor explained. "At the time, I didn't even read the whole script,...

The 2018 Marvel Studios movie Black Panther was a major success, with the film following the character's cinematic debut two years beforehand and cementing him as one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most notable heroes. Sadly, things were derailed due to the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman, who portrayed Black Panther/T'Challa until the release of Avengers: Endgame. Now, at least one more movie is planned, but the franchise itself might not be where it once was.

Rumors persist that T'Challa will soon be recast in the next few years, and this act would only make 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever completely pointless. Furthermore, that movie already furthered a problem of the series not having much material to organically use for the property. Add in...

Marvel Studios tapped an Oscar-winning A-Lister, Mahershala Ali, to play the McU's Blade in 2019. However, nearly six years after the actor hit the stage at Comic-Con, the Daywalker's movie has yet to materialise.

In the meantime, Black Panther director Ryan Coogler has enlisted Michael B. Jordan to star in Sinners, a vampire movie that will see the Erik Killmonger actor play twin brothers. If Blade ever becomes a reality, it will be impossible for it to avoid comparisons to Coogler's horror debut which, in many respects, has beaten Marvel Studios to the punch.

Talking to GQ, Jordan showed empathy for the studio's repeated attempts to get Blade off the ground. "Launching any franchise, it’s tough," he acknowledged. "I hope it gets together. I want to see a Blade movie, you know what I’m saying? The Blade franchise was everything."

Asked whether he's concerned by Marvel Studios'...

‘Sinners’ is an upcoming American horror movie created by Ryan Coogler, who wrote, directed, and produced the film. The star-studded cast includes Michael B. Jordan, playing two roles as twin brothers, alongside Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Benson Miller, and Delroy Lindo.

The story follows twin brothers trying to escape their troubled past by returning to their hometown, only to find an even darker threat awaiting them. The film is set to release in the U.S. on April 18, 2025, promising a chilling blend of suspense, drama, and horror.

Ryan Coogler is excited about stepping into the supernatural genre with Sinners. He explains that it was his first time fully exploring this type of film, and he loved it. Coogler took inspiration from movies he enjoyed growing up, analyzing what drew him to them and using those influences to shape his own story.

He points out that...

Working and living abroad is the dream of many people across the world. Getting to explore new places, meet new people, and experience new cultures is exciting in real life and on the screen. Going to another country to do your work brings out another type of energy, and that journey is what inspired the series Expats.

Series and movies that deal with living abroad often aren’t only about being a fish out of the water but are often introspective journeys that explore isolation and what it means to be yourself. Expats created a passionate fanbase, and there are plenty of great shows and movies for those fans to watch if they need something similar.

Love Hurts sees Quan step into the role of Marvin, a hard-working real estate agent with a hidden past. Once upon a time, he worked as an assassin for his mobster brother.

It has also beaten Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as one of the top 30 all time highest-grossing films ever in the United States. Scroll below for the deets.

The MCU movie was released in 2022 and is the second installment in the Black Panther franchise.

The story was changed due to Chadwick Boseman’s death.

According to Box Office Mojo’s data, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever collected $453.8 million in its domestic run.

Sometimes, you have to lose yourself to find who you really are. In the case of Chadwick Boseman, who was taken from us far too soon, this quote rings true not only in his career choices but also in his personal battle. In a world where superheroes are meant to wear capes and conquer impossible odds, the late MCU actor was fighting a different kind of battle—a real one.

And while he was busy portraying royalty on the big screen, the reality was that the star of Black Panther was privately waging war against colon cancer, a fight he never publicly acknowledged until his death in August 2020.

Jordan – who have worked on Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever together as director and cast member, and have other collaborations that Coogler didn’t direct – had been developing a new project in secret.

Snowfall and Black Mirror star Damson Idris has long been a fan-favorite for several major roles, including the MCU’s Black Panther and James Bond. Not only has he seen his name crop up a lot in fancasting suggestions, Damson Idris has also been hotly rumored for roles in the blockbuster franchises. Rumors that have since claimed he turned the likes of Black Panther and 007 down. Now, the actor has taken to X/Twitter to set the record straight.

With a wonderfully sarcastic edge, Damson Idris took to his official X account to let all the fans know that, no, he has not turned down anything of the sort. Responding to a fan who said he “reportedly turned down the role of Black Panther. He would have been perfect for it too. Oh well,” Idris said this was not even close to being the case.

Thanks to her roles in Quentin Tarantino films like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, Uma Thurman is nothing short of a Hollywood icon. She's also no stranger to either blockbuster fare or comic book movies after playing the sultry Poison Ivy in 1997's Batman & Robin. 

Could a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe be next? According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH, Thurman has had talks with Marvel Studios for an MCU role.

Michael B. Jordan has a Marvel superhero he has been dreaming of playing since he was a child, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe has now made that casting possible seven years after his debut in the franchise. Jordan is no stranger to superhero films. He has played two Marvel characters in the past. First, the actor gave life to Johnny Storm in 2015's ill-received Fantastic Four. After that, Jordan found success as Killmonger in Black Panther, being a key element of one of the McU's best movies.

Michael B.
