6 minutes ago The Infinity Stones have been the ultimate MacGuffins of the MCU. They have been layered through a number of films before finally coming together in Avengers: Infinity War earlier this year. The stones have a fairly simple origin in the movies, but the comic books introduced an interesting wrinkle to the creation of the stones this week. As it turns out, the stones were created by ancient Celestials, but the purpose has yet to be revealed. Marvel Comics' big event this year is Infinity Wars, which finds Marvel heroes battling on multiple fronts for the possession of the recently recreated Infinity Stones. The event, which was created by Gerry Duggan and Mike Deodato Jr., has had a number of twists and turns thus far, such as the reveal of Gamora as the main villain (so far). While the main draw of Infinity Wars so far has been the creation of a new universe where every character is a fusion of two different characters (like Iron Man and Thor fusing into Iron … [Read more...] about Marvel Has Finally Revealed Where The Infinity Stones Come From

Awesome Marvel Fan Art Imagines Norman Reedus As Ghost Rider
x Gabriel Luna did a great job as Robbie Reyes on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4, but Marvel fans still really want to see the original Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, appear in the MCU at some point in the near future. And for years, there’s only been one name at the top of people’s lists: The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus. If you’re personally struggling to see the man we most know as Daryl Dixon with a flaming skull, though, here’s something that might help. One fan dedicated to seeing the idea realized, Reddit user BritEdit, has created an awesome piece of artwork that imagines what Reedus could look like as the Spirit of Vengeance, and you can check it out below. The reason the actor’s long been a fan favorite to play the part is because he’s already said that he’d like to play Johnny Blaze on numerous occasions. If he did land the role, he’d be stepping into the charred shoes of Nicolas Cage, who starred in … [Read more...] about Awesome Marvel Fan Art Imagines Norman Reedus As Ghost Rider
How Venom Could Replace Captain America In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
x From Bucky Barnes to John Cena, the internet has offered an array of candidates for who could inherit the Captain America title after Chris Evans hangs up the shield, but this new theory stands out for its originality by suggesting that Steve Rogers’ effective replacement could be a character who already goes by a famous enough stage name: Venom. Though this lengthy piece from Screen Rant doesn’t literally suggest that Eddie Brock might adopt Cap’s title and wear the same patriotic colors, the article does make the case that Tom Hardy’s antihero could fill the void left by Evans as a principled hero who collaborates with S.H.I.E.L.D. To back up this argument, the post observes how Ruben Fleischer’s film essentially painted Venom as a troubled do-gooder rather than the villain that he once was, and draws on S.H.I.E.L.D.’s history in the comics of trying to create further Super Soldiers using symbiotes. From here, it’s concluded that perhaps … [Read more...] about How Venom Could Replace Captain America In The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Marvel Explains How Spider-Man Became A Full-On Avenger In Infinity War
x Peter Parker is growing up, and in Avengers: Infinity War, he had the sophisticated nanotech suit to show for it. For Marvel Studios’ Head of Visual Development Ryan Meinerding, this costume change was a coming-of-age moment for the web-slinger, and he set about designing Spidey’s fancy new outfit to reflect this transition. In the new artbook Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War – The Art of the Movie, Meinerding recalls how Peter’s new getup marked the moment where he ceased to be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and became a fully-fledged Avenger. “It was an interesting and fun design challenge, and I think he definitely feels like a different Spider-Man in this movie,” Meinerding said. “It allows him to feel like he’s moving away from being just a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and actually becoming an Avenger–which is a huge story point and one that I was happy to help contribute to.” Avengers: Infinity War … [Read more...] about Marvel Explains How Spider-Man Became A Full-On Avenger In Infinity War
