Avengers: Endgame subtly established the MCU version of the Illuminati - but the concept would be very different to the comics. The first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have come to a close, and all attention is turning to the future of the MCU. There’s a sense in which, going forward, the MCU can never be quite like the comics again. The comics depend upon a concept Stan Lee called the “Illusion of Change,” where stories change the status quo temporarily, and go full-circle so as not to damage a superhero’s core concept....

Does Captain Marvel’s time-travel power explain how the Avengers will travel back in time in Avengers: Endgame? At the moment, the plot of Avengers: Endgame is a closely guarded secret. Indeed, there have been rumors that the film’s marketing will only use footage from the first 15 or 20 minutes of the movie, which Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has since confirmed that. One thing seems certain, though; somehow, Earth’s surviving heroes will manage to thwart Thanos....

When Avengers: Endgame hit screens for the first time back in April, one of the hottest rumors was that the movie would have a time jump take place. The trailers had hinted at this—what with Black Widow sporting three different haircuts and Captain America wearing alternative suits—and the blockbuster failed to disappoint with five years passing on from the events of Infinity War and Thor murdering Thanos. So we now take a look at things that changed during those five years and things that did not....

Hey we’re just hearing this from the BBC so it must be true, but it looks like some of those iPhone apps out there aimed at kids may sometimes manage to fool children into making in-game purchases using a grown-up’s credit card. We also have Apple’s response to this. Matthew is six and a fan of an iPhone app called Tap Resort Party, in which players build their own holiday park....

Avengers: Endgame may break another domestic box office record during its second weekend. The film, which ends the sprawling 11-year, 22-movie Infinity Saga, somehow managed to exceed commercial expectations in its debut. While it was always projected to set some new all-time marks, few could have predicted just how gigantic a haul it would have. Endgame pulled off a feat nobody thought was possible, grossing a staggering $1.2 billion in its first weekend....

A new pair of concept art images for Avengers: Infinity War reveals that Ebony Maw - a member of Thanos’ Black Order - almost looked quite different. Marvel Studios’ MCU has long received criticism for featuring forgettable villains, but in the last year, things seem to have taken a turn for the better. Thor: Ragnarok’s Hela (Cate Blanchett) earned raves for being powerful, charismatic, and cunning, while Black Panther’s Erik “Killmonger” Stevens was a villain many fans could empathize with, despite his harsh methods....

Robert Downey Jr. seems to have confirmed that Iron Man indeed survives his perilous space situation in Avengers: Endgame. Last month, the Avengers: Endgame teaser trailer released and gave audiences their first real look at the upcoming sequel to Anthony and Joe Russo’s Avengers: Infinity War, which is not only meant to have the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes take on the Mad Titan Thanos one more time but also conclude the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s story arc that’s been building since 2008....

It’s generally believed that next year’s Avengers 4 will be some sort of time travel adventure, with Earth’s surviving heroes traveling back to the MCU’s past. But how does big villain Thanos fit into all of that? Avengers 4 will follow on directly from last year’s Avengers: Infinity War; in fact, Infinity War’s cliffhanger was almost the sequel’s opening scene. That means the movie will explore the impact the “snap” that killed half the universe has had on the world, an event that will understandably have given the surviving heroes a “harder edge....

Peter, also known as “Pilot Pete,” first appeared on Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette....

Batman and Superman ranked worst with audiences during test screenings for Justice League, while Wonder Woman and Aquaman tested much higher. The issues with Justice League can be traced back to the reception of Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. In addition to combining the title characters for the first time in live-action, the film was intended to kick off DC’s shared cinematic universe with a bang. Instead, it received mainly mixed-to-negative reviews focused on the dour tone and muddled storyline....
