It was clear from the first reviews of Black Panther that Ryan Coogler’s film would be dealing with new levels of prestige previously unheard of for MCU entries, and sure enough, T'Challa's solo debut has made superhero movie history as the first of its genre to earn a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture – Drama.
It only figures that people are worried about the Tom Holland movie dropping spoilers for Avengers 4. With Spider-Man: Far From Home confirmed by producer Amy Pascal to be set “a few minutes” after the Avengers: Infinity War sequel, it’s clear that these two upcoming Marvel releases will share some major connections, raising concerns that the promotion for Peter Parker’s next solo outing may give a little too much away about its highly anticipated MCU predecessor. But as MCU Cosmic recently observed, Marvel Studios could well be collaborating with Sony to ensure that this doesn’t happen.
Marvel Studios has enough project on its plate without having to worry about introducing Blade into the franchise, but should the MCU ever call on the services of Eric Brooks, Wesley Snipes seems more than ready to reprise his role.
It was a template-breaking moment in Star Wars: The Last Jedi when Supreme Leader Snoke was killed off before the film had even reached its climax. When the villain was first introduced in The Force Awakens, many viewers immediately interpreted him as the Sequel Trilogy’s Emperor Palpatine equivalent, making it virtually a given that the character would be sticking around until Star Wars: Episode IX, and ever since Rian Johnson’s divisive feature suggested otherwise, fans have been scrambling for clues of Snoke's return.
We all know what happens at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, but one thing that hasn't been so obvious is what exactly we should be calling the genocidal event that saw half the universe turn to dust. Many fans have opted to refer to this event as “The Snap,” or for a quirkier alternative, “The Snappening,” but we've generally assumed that the actual inhabitants of the MCU probably wouldn’t use a term so cutesy for the death of half the people they know.
Despite Tom Holland’s reputation as a notorious blabbermouth, it’s been a while now since the Spider-Man: Far From Home lead has dropped any major spoilers, suggesting that the actor might finally have learned to watch what he says, if only for fear of what might happen if he makes another mistake.
The MCU fanbase is having a big Captain Marvel moment right now, thanks in no small part to the film’s new trailer giving us a whole lot to process, from dangerous old ladies to Nick Fury’s furry little friend. Adding to the hype levels is an interview on io9 with Oscar-winning star Brie Larson, whose comments suggest that there are sides to her character that we haven't even seen yet.
Despite previous reports saying that the first trailer for the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX wouldn't be arriving until April, a new rumor has been getting a lot of traction lately which alleges that we’ll be seeing some footage before the year is out. Time will tell whether this claim has any truth to it, but at the very least, filmmaker and podcaster Kevin Smith has teased the movie enough already with his spoiler-free recollection of his trip to the set.
While Sony has yet to offer any official confirmation of the recent reports that the first teaser for Spider-Man: Far From Home will be dropping this weekend, it certainly looks like the team is loosening up on their very Marvel-esque wall of silence, with Jake Gyllenhaal finally confirming once and for all that he is indeed not playing Spider-Man.
Though we’re still waiting on the official title reveal for Avengers 4, at least we now know what to call that other major franchise film that Chris Hemsworth is starring in next year, with Collider reporting the full name of the upcoming Men in Black movie to be Men in Black International.
