2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever did the usual Marvel thing and laid some ground for future projects that had been announced. Other than the sequel establishing Shuri as the new Black Panther, the Ryan Coogler film also introduced a college student who would be taking up the mantle of Tony Stark with her own brand of Iron armor. The setup could lend itself to both the Ironheart show and the planned Armor Wars project, but after some years, the studio is finally set to premiere the series this summer on June 24 on Disney+.

The social media for DiscussingFilm has unveiled the release date as well as posted a couple of new looks at the Ironheart series with some preview images of Riri Williams in her new Iron Man-inspired suit. You can get a look at the newly released images below.

As a former star of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., actor Gabriel Luna is known in part for his role as the Robbie Reyes incarnation of Ghost Rider. Though the series ended in 2017, Luna is keeping the door open for a potential return, given how the expansion of the McU's multiverse makes it more possible than ever before.

At the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival, Luna and The Astronuat co-star Kate Mara spoke with Grae Drake of Cbr to promote the premiere of their new film. Their past superhero roles were discussed, given how Mara also played Sue Storm in 2015's Fantastic Four movie. Luna noted how he "enjoyed" the time he spent playing Ghost Rider, but when it came to possibly revisiting the role, he always fell back on a "stock answer" about just appreciating the work he did in the past. With that said, he's making it clear he's open to revisiting Robbie Reyes.

Tumbleweeds dance across desert sands. The night is cold, colder by the hour. The lizards have dug into the sand. Roadrunners have found their brushes to sleep in. Danger lurks in the air, hiding in the open darkness.

A congress of bandits celebrates their latest thefts. They joke about the lives taken by their bullets. These godless, immoral thieves of the night eat well as they stoke the scullery fire. A presence not of this world approaches, they do not know him. They have heard the legends.

See him. Leather and chains and a skull on fire. His motorcycle’s hum dies down. The light from his head. The smell of sulfur. They fear not their fellow man, but they fear the Spirit of Vengeance.

They scramble, each man and woman fleeing. All that expanse of land and nowhere to go. They do not get far. He brandishes a chain...

Asajj Ventress is back again, but this time going back in the timeline. StarWars.com revealed that the upcoming comic book Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch — Ghost Agents #4 will reveal how the titular Bad Batch met the Sith assassin well before the events of Season 3. This all-ages series from Dark Horse Comics begins on February 12.

Ventress is teamed up with the bounty hunter Aurra Sing to face off against Hunter, Crosshair, Wrecker, and Tech. According to writer Michael Moreci, he made sure that these issues didn't contradict what was seen in the series and made sure to skirt around what was presented in Season 3. He told StarWars.com, "I can't express enough just how thrilled I am to be writing more Bad Batch. But any good hero needs good villains,...

Phase 1's The Incredible Hulk dropped a nod to a classic Hulk character that may finally get to make his first on-screen MCU appearance more than seventeen years later. Hulk hasn't had a movie of his own since Louis Leterrier's 2008 The Incredible Hulk. Nevertheless, the McU's Hulk has completed a full arc across several appearances as a supporting character. Hulk's status as a founding member of the Avengers, his time as an intergalactic gladiator, his role in saving the universe, and the reconciliation of his two personas have already been explored throughout the years.

One drawback of Hulk's lack of solo movies is that his friends and enemies haven't had the chance to appear in the MCU as often as other Marvel characters. For example, Doc Samson only had a small role in The Incredible Hulk, Absorbing Man and Glenn Talbot appeared in Agents of Shield outside the McU's main timeline,...

Interior Chinatown is a brand new series that has made its debut on Hulu, fresh from Charles Yu's 2020 novel of the same name. The comedy crime series centers on Willis Wu (Silicon Valley's Jimmy O. Yang), a waiter and aspiring actor whose biggest break thus far involves playing into Asian American stereotypes on a cop show called Black and White. He longs for a more interesting life, and the universe answers by letting him witness an abduction and getting him involved in a real-life investigation.

Chloe Bennet plays Willis' coworker Fatty Choi, who goes to the other extreme rather than ambition and adventure, he craves contentment and the quotidian.

In this week’s “Survivor 47” sneak peek video for Episode 8 (watch above), Solomon “Sol” Yi reveals to the audience why he saved Rachel Lamont‘s life in the game last week when he gifted her the Safety Without Power advantage. “Genuinely, there is a connection there,” he explains in a private confessional. “And I’m working on building the SSAs: Sol’s Secret Agents.”

Interestingly enough, the 43-year-old medical device salesman from Norwalk, Connecticut hasn’t yet told the Rachel the truth about who sent her the secret parchment. But that could be something he’s planning on revealing to her in the future, when the timing is right.

The minute-long video begins with Gabe Ortis expressing his disappointment over Rachel getting to leave tribal council before the vote, because his former Tuku alliance was planning on sending her home. Instead, Tuku had to “cannibalize” each other, which resulted in...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is set to bring back one of the biggest stars from the early TV side of things with Phil Coulson due to appear in What If...? season 3, but it raises questions about where the rest are. While Marvel Studios has recently gotten into the swing of things when it comes to producing its own TV shows, Marvel TV shows were being produced long before the MCU put its own official stamp on them. The popular Netflix Marvel shows built up a dedicated fanbase, while shows like The Runaways and Inhumans faded into obscurity.

However, one show that was intended to have specific crossovers, and in fact starred a former MCU star as its central hero, ended up being snubbed by the larger movie universe. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was one of the most popular Marvel TV shows of the 2010s, with Clark Gregg, who plays Phil Coulson,...

He was there when the Marvel Cinematic Universe was finding its roots with Iron Man. He was there when Marvel ventured into television shows before The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Clark Gregg aka Agent Phil Coulson, is an iconic member of the MCU that millions of fans love and adore. When he was not alongside the team in their films, he was busy working in the iconic show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Clark Gregg Really Loves His Character

An original comic book to film adaptation is quite an impossible task. Although there may be films that are authentically true to the source, then there are films like Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel that change the rules.

A couple of years after the release of The Batman (and with a direct sequel taking its time getting made), HBO’s The Penguin arrives to offer fans their first follow-up to Matt Reeves’ hit film. And while it can’t quite deliver the thrills of seeing Batman himself in action, it provides an entertaining and involving detour, diving further into the pivotal mobster side of Gotham City that fuels many of the Dark Knight’s adventures.

With Reeves serving as an executive producer, Colin Farrell reprises his role from the film as one of Batman’s most famous enemies — Oswald “Oz” Cobb.

Ted Lasso actor Phil Dunster and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. alum Chloe Bennet have been announced as co-leads of Hello Out There. The upcoming dramedy will serve as the feature debut of writer-director Otis Blum.

Their stated mission: to investigate Area 51 and unearth the truth about extraterrestrial life.

At the latest Nintendo Indie Direct, viewers were shocked to see a remastered bundle for the first two titles in the MySims franchise, featuring both MySims and MySims: Kingdom. For players unfamiliar with the games, the MySims series was a popular spin-off from the iconic Sims franchise, releasing six unique games aimed at a younger demographic.

Aside from the excitement from new and old players alike,...

Surprise villain reveals in TV shows such as Butcher in The Boys can be satisfying and surprising. Characters like Chuck from Supernatural can evolve from benevolent to malevolent, delivering great twists. Villain reveals like Grant Ward in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. can be devastating and unexpected in TV.

TV is a powerful medium for telling stories that change and shift over a long time, and some shows manage to cover up the true villain for a long time. I won't lie, it's a point of personal pride to be able to pick out when people in shows will have an arc that will lead to a darker future. However, there are a few shows that manage to keep their villains a secret thanks to clever writing and exceptional performances from the actors.

Whether the character starts their journey as a hero, a lovable goofball, or even the victim, there are lots...

Top British journalist Emily Maitlis has been told she “needs her head examined” by a Donald Trump ally who refused to back down on her repeated claims of election interference.

Maitlis was in the U.S. for her News Agent podcast when she sat down with former news anchor and Arizona state senate candidate Kari Lake, who grew visibly angrier during the four-minute interview yesterday that can be watched in full below.

Responding to a question from Maitlis on whether her actions had “played a part in inflaming the political rhetoric in this country” in the wake of the Trump assassination attempt, Lake called Maitlis a “sad case of a human being.”

“You are part of the fake news agenda and you are lying,” said Lake. “You don’t know a damn thing about Arizona, you don’t know a damn thing about our election and you sit there with...

Do you remember Disney’s Descendants series? The live-action movies portraying known Disney animated characters in a new universe, focusing – at the same time – on their descendants? Yeah, the series is not a brand for Disney, but it is still alive and well, and the fourth installment, Descendants: The Rise of Red, is premiering on July 12, 2024, on Disney+ and August 9, 2024, on Disney Channel.

Exclusive: Chicago Med fans’ fears following the Season 9 finale have materialized: Dr. Crockett Marcel is checking out of the Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. Dominic Rains, who has portrayed the ace emergency room surgeon since Season 5, is departing the NBC medical drama as a series regular. It is unclear whether he will reprise his character as a guest star in the upcoming 10th season.

The Season 9 finale of Chicago Med set up a potential exit for Rains when Crockett was told by Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson) to take all the time he needs following the deaths of one of his patients, a boy, and the boy’s father.

The boy died after Crockett canceled his planned liver transplant because of an infection over the father’s pleas that not proceeding with the surgery would be a death sentence for his son. Following the boy’s death, his devastated father took his own life.

Actor Bill Cobbs, who amassed dozens of acting roles over the course of his career, has passed away. He was 90 years old.

Per Entertainment Weekly, Cobbs died of natural causes on Tuesday. His passing was confirmed by his publicist, Chuck I. Jones, who referred to the Night at the Museum star as "just a phenomenal human being." Jones further described the late actor as a "very genuine, kind, and concerned person who was always looking to help others."

Cobbs was born on June 16, 1934. After serving in the U.S. Air Force for eight years, Cobbs relocated to New York with hopes of launching an acting career in 1970. After getting his start with theater productions, the actor went on to make his feature film debut in 1974's The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. More work on the big and small screens would be soon to follow, turning Cobbs into a prolific...

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law star Tatiana Maslany addresses two major talking points of the short-lived Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries. The lead actor reveals whether her character and Matt Murdock are still an item and how the memorable twerking scene with Grammy-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion came about.

Speaking at the Superhero Comic Con in San Antonio this past weekend (via Agents of Fandom), Maslany opened up on Charlie Cox's Daredevil, with whom She-Hulk shares a steamy romantic affair during the Disney+ series. Maslany suggested Jennifer Walters is exploring her dating options, but would hook up again with the vigilante in a heartbeat. "I think shes keeping her options open," Maslany said. "But Im pretty sure she'd hit that again!"

Jaimie Alexander has been a treasured part of the MCU for years now. Although her role is quite small compared to other characters, she has played the recurring role of Lady Sif, having more recently appeared in Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder. Although fans love her performance as the character and her personality is certainly iconic, she may be working towards something fans have been wanting for years.

Valorant’s agent, Iso, has been wreaking havoc on the battlefield since it got a buff two weeks ago. The character has been so dominant since then that he has quickly climbed the charts of meta characters to play, which essentially guarantees an easy win. However, it seems that it is coming to an end, with Riot Games planning to nerf him in the next patch.

The changes are coming to Iso’s “Double Tap” ability, which is the primary reason he is broken right now. The kill reset, combined with his ability to maintain a shield for a long period, is being weakened. Therefore, for anyone looking to exploit Iso and rack up easy wins, now is the time to do it.
