Marvel

Did you spot this super-nerdy reference to Marvel Comics (and a previous Marvel movie) in Spider-Man: Homecoming? It’s featured in our latest History of the MCU column!

The MCU is an amazing web of interconnected stories -- but on rare occasions the details don’t completely line up.

The most anticipated Marvel movie in years now hits theaters on April 27!

From ‘Daredevil’ Season 1 all the way through ‘The Punisher,’ we’ve put infallible rankings to all of Marvel’s Netflix offerings. Will ‘Jessica Jones’ Season 2 upset the balance?

If someone offers you the rights to Marvel’s library for $25 million, definitely take it.

This year, Marvel Studios is celebrating 10 years of the MCU — an impressive length of time, to be sure, but even more impressive given the number of films they’ve released since 2008. (Black Panther is the 18th movie, FYI.) The game-changing studio is celebrating this milestone all year long, starting with a massive class photo (Academy Awards-style) in which they’ve assembled all 79 stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s so many familiar faces, in fact, that we had to crop some of them out in the above photo.

The debut of Marvel’s Punisher spinoff brings the grand total of MCU and X-universe series up to eleven; soon to be twelve with Hulu’s Runaways. From the slums of Hell’s Kitchen to the moon, the time is now to rank all of Marvel’s current-generation live-action series, including our beloved Defenders, mutants and more.

It’s right there in the headline, but here’s an extra warning: Major SPOILERS ahead for Thor: Ragnarok, particularly the end of the film and the mid-credits scene. If you haven’t yet had a chance to see Taika Waititi’s thoroughly rad Thor sequel, you should probably turn back now…unless you’re not particularly concerned with spoilers. To each their own.

Netflix’s scramble to cut some kind of deal with Disney after the company announced their own Disney-exclusive streaming service last month seems to have come to naught, as CEO Bob Iger announced that Marvel and Star Wars movies would also be among the films appearing exclusively on the new app Disney hopes to launch by 2019. Better get those Moana viewings in fast, folks.

Disney sent shockwaves through the world of streaming media earlier this week when it announced the company was ending its agreement with Netflix in 2019 in order to start its own competitive streaming movie and TV service. So some kind of “Dizflix” is coming, along with a similar ESPN service for sports due next year...

You didn't think Capcom would let a Comic-Con come and go without bringing some of that Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite flavor to the event, did you? During yesterday's Marvel gaming panel, the publisher didn't just show up to talk; it came to deliver some spectacular additions to the galaxy-spanning roster for its upcoming fighting game. We already knew MVC Infinite was going to have some comic book heavy-hitters on the roster, but new additions Spider-Man and Gamora bring some box office mojo with them, too.

Whatever holiday you celebrate in December, it comes with a lot of pressure. If you get that special someone the wrong gift, watch out. Things can get pretty ugly. That’s particularly true for pop-culture fans. They know what they want, and they probably have most of it already. Perhaps you know someone like this. Perhaps you are someone like this. (Perhaps I am someone like this.)
