Late last month, Avengers: Endgame had its highly anticipated Digital release, giving MCU fans the opportunity to revisit the all-time biggest blockbuster on Amazon, Fandango Now and various other platforms. But for those of you still waiting for the Avengers: Infinity War sequel to show up on Netflix, you may want to ready yourselves for some unfortunate news.
Those who’ve been keeping track of all the hearsay surrounding Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker for the past year may recall the old rumor that Keri Russell had been cast as none other than Mara Jade, the popular Legends character who marries Luke Skywalker in the non-canonical timeline.
With Avengers: Endgame now available on home release, theory-happy fans are free to examine every frame of the Marvel megahit in their own time, and already, this latest wave of scrutiny has yielded a few fresh insights and further questions. In one of the movie’s New Asgard scenes, for example, viewers have noticed a mysterious and unrecognizable figure wandering the streets of Thor’s new home.
It’s now been over two months since Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, and as you may have heard already, the expansion isn’t doing as well as expected. In fact, according to one anonymous Disneyland employee, the region’s underwhelming performance has started taking its toll on the staff.
Last month, photos of Jason Momoa relaxing on the beach with his family revealed that the Aquaman star hadn’t maintained the muscular physique displayed in the recent DC blockbuster. And while you wouldn’t think that would be anyone’s business but his own, the actor has subsequently found himself to be the unlikely target of a wave of online body-shaming.
Shortly after the release of Avengers: Endgame, co-director Joe Russo told the Washington Post that Robert Downey Jr. “deserves an Oscar perhaps more than anyone in the last 40 years.” And going by the filmmaker’s more recent comments to Backstory Magazine, it sounds like the Russo brother is sticking to his guns.
Avengers: Endgame was packed with more fan-pleasing moments than any other MCU movie to date, but few inspired a bigger reaction than the all-female team-up scene at the film’s climax.
The final minutes of Avengers: Endgame remain a topic of much discussion, as fans speculate and debate over the logistics of Steve Rogers’ journey into the past and his reunion with Peggy Carter. But before we get too bogged down over who was in which timeline and when, or who attended whose funeral, let’s take a moment to remember what the First Avenger’s final mission was really about: proving Ultron wrong.
The first half of Avengers: Endgame saw Tony Stark settled into a life of quiet retirement with his wife Pepper and his daughter Morgan, but thanks to the film’s five-year time-jump, the Avengers: Infinity War sequel managed to skip both Iron Man’s wedding and Pepper’s pregnancy.
At the climax of Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos wiped out half of all life in the universe with the snap of his fingers. And while it’s generally assumed that the Mad Titan’s victims were selected at random, there remains some debate on whether the purple tyrant excluded himself from the lottery or was willing to put his own life on the line for the sake of fairness.
