The MCU’s Future Lies Is the Multiverse Says Marvel’s Kevin Feige
Ever since Avengers: Endgame stormed cinemas and became the biggest blockbuster of all time, fans and critics have had one question on their mind: How do you possibly top that? After saving all of reality from a cosmic threat, what more can you do to up the ante for the next phase of the MCU? Marvel showrunner Kevin Feige provided the answer during an interview at CCXP. "When we first started the MCU, it was all about Tony Stark. Introduce the world to Tony Stark and that Iron Man armor. Then [we] went on to teach people what Asgardians were and learn about super soldiers then bring them together in Avengers. I've always loved space movies and I've always loved big intergalactic tales, which is why we did Guardians and the audience came with us so we could do a movie like Endgame.I always wanted to do time travel, which we finally got to do in Endgame.

Wonder Woman Will Be Quite Different in Her DC Solo Movie
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice made history in a few different ways, by setting new records at the box office, and by showcasing the DC trinity of Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) on the big screen at the same time. We learned in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that Gal Gadot's Diana Prince isn't exactly your average everyday woman, and she's hiding quite a remarkable past. Gal Gadot recently spoke with IGN, teasing that the development of this character was much different than usual. And that we'll see quite a different Wonder Woman on screen next year. "Usually when you get a script and you work on a character, you start at the beginning and then you go to the end and you evolve with the character. In BvS, I started at the end result of Wonder Woman. In the stand alone Wonder Woman movie, it's the first time that we're gonna tell the coming of age of Wonder Woman. I'm going to travel back in time. Wonder Woman is different from the … [Read more...] about Wonder Woman Will Be Quite Different in Her DC Solo Movie
Why ‘The Americans’ Suddenly Feels More Timely Than Ever
An ordinary U.S. suburb, deep in the Eighties: a bunch of kids and parents hang out at the local bowling alley. The youngsters take turns rolling gutterballs, while Roxy Music’s “More Than This” plays on the jukebox. The moms hits the snack counter for popcorn, french fries and sodas, next to a neon sign of a hot dog. A typical American scene – except it’s also a battle zone, because this mom and dad are Soviet agents, deep in a high-stakes espionage game at the height of the nuclear arms race. Even a bowling alley is part of the deadly struggle between two superpowers ready to blow up the world at the touch of a button. More than this, there’s nothing. The Americans, FX’s masterful espionage saga, is the most heartbreaking and harrowing drama on TV right now. But as it heads into its final two seasons, the show feels weirder – because it’s also timelier, unfortunately. The Eighties Cold War doesn’t look as remote or quaint as … [Read more...] about Why ‘The Americans’ Suddenly Feels More Timely Than Ever
