Josh Brolin Wore Thanos' Gauntlet During His Avengers Bathroom Breaks

Image
The Infinity Gauntlet is easily the most iconic item in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sure, there's Captain America's shield or Thor's hammer, but nothing beats the golden glove that wiped away half of the universe. Its infamy has long since been established in the source material, and with how well the last two  Avengers  films were received, the weapon has become one of the most iconic movie objects in pop culture. It was technically first seen in live-action with 2011's  Thor , but was eventually retconned in  Thor: Ragnarok  and re-labeled a fake. The true Infinity Gauntlet made its first real appearance in  Avengers: Infinity War. ADVERTISEMENT The powerful weapon was created at the request of Thanos on the planet Nidavellir and was the Mad Titan's way of harnessing the power of all six Infinity Stones. The metal hand became one of the villain's key fashion statements; it never left his person. That choice by the character ...

Sydney Sweeney Breaks Silence on Marvel Casting

Image
Sony is rapidly looking to expand on its cinematic Spider-Man Universe, particularly after the disappointing reaction to the studio's most recent film, Morbius . On top of Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Kraven the Hunter and potentially Tom Hardy's Venom 3 , Dakota Johnson will also bring a new outing in Madame Web . She even recently got her first co-star for the movie - Sydney Sweeney. Following her time on the award-winning Euphoria next to Spider-Man: No Way Home 's Zendaya, Sweeney is ready to take on her first role in the world of superhero movies - arguably her biggest role to date.

Image
November's  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever  brings the Marvel Cinematic Universe back to T'Challa's home country for the first time in over three years.

Aside from the debuts of Namor and Ironheart, Wakanda Forever  will bring back most of the ensemble from 2018's  Black Panther . Supporting stars like Letitia Wright and Winston Duke are returning in a big way, while Danai Gurira could see the sequel as a set-up for a solo series.

Rachel McAdams Breaks Silence on Marvel Return

Image
Variety initially reported in early 2020 that Rachel McAdams would not be reprising her role as Christine Palmer in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . However, several months later, Deadline confirmed that previous reports of McAdams' exclusion were incorrect and that she'd join the  Doctor Strange sequel's cast after all, although it was unknown how significant her role would be. More information about McAdams' role was revealed during post-production, and producer Richie Palmer confirmed that Palmer and Strange " are not back together"  in the sequel. Recently, it was also revealed that Strange will be forced  "to watch the love of his life marry someone else."

Aaron Taylor-Johnson Breaks Silence on Playing Spider-Man's Kraven the Hunter

Image
Ahead of the theatrical release of Jared Leto's Morbius , and on the heels of Spider-Man: No Way Home , Sony has announced its next live-action film for its ever-expanding Spider-Verse: Kraven the Hunter . This Spidey villain is one that fans have wanted to see for some time; and for the title role, Sony went with a comic book film veteran in Aaron Taylor-Johnson.  In addition to his role in Kick-Ass , Aaron Taylor-Johnson's last Marvel role was as Wanda Maximoff's brother, Pietro/Quicksilver, in Marvel Studios' Avengers: Age of Ultron .

However, Taylor-Johnson did open up about being cast as the comic book baddie to none other than cinema's second-ever, live-action...

Captain Marvel 2 Actor Breaks Silence on MCU Role

Image
Fans may have been a little spoiled thanks to the movies like Tom Holland's  Spider-Man: No Way Home and Benedict Cumberbatch's  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . Both of those projects have provided a constant string of leaks for fans to mill over and theorize across the web. Other upcoming MCU films haven’t had that, even including other big sequels like  The Marvels . The next film featuring Brie Larson’s titular character is set to hit theaters on February 17, 2023, and somehow project was able to complete production with almost zero leaks from set. The only one that slipped through the cracks were photos revealing new duds for Iman Vellani's Ms. Marvel.

Now, for the first time, a new...

X-Men's Patrick Stewart Breaks Silence on Doctor Strange 2 Role

Image
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  has become the hottest topic on the internet thanks to its second full trailer that debuted at Super Bowl LVI. Piggy-backing off the Multiversal shenanigans that started in Spider-Man: No Way Home , the  Doctor Strange sequel could take things to new levels of crazy with its cast. From Patrick Stewart as Professor X to Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, seemingly anyone who's played a Marvel character is on the table. Stewart, in particular, has found himself at the center of many conversations thanks to the belief that his voice told an imprisoned Doctor Strange "We should tell him the truth." As the camera moved to what appeared to be the veteran actor's head and shoulder, the possibilities of the Multiverse's expansion shot to new levels of insanity. ADVERTISEMENT Of course, nothing will be confirmed regarding Stewart's inclusion until Multiverse of Madness  releases in theaters due to Ma...

Amazing Spider-Man Writer Breaks Silence on Andrew Garfield's No Way Home Role

Image
Scream may be taking the breath out of audiences and box office returns away from Sony, but Spider-Man: No Way Home remains a strong prescience in the pop culture conversation. Tom Holland’s latest MCU venture introduced the Multiverse to moviegoers. The movie also brought back massive characters from earlier installments in the franchise such as Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock and Jamie Foxx’s Electro. One of the most well-received returns was that of Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, who teamed up with his fellow webheads played by Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland. The three provided audiences with an experience that they never thought would happen.  ADVERTISEMENT When Garfield first debuted as the wall-crawler, his films and portrayal weren’t widely loved. The excitement that people have for Spider-Man today simply wasn’t there. But now it seems that audiences have realized how great the actor is in the role, especially since there’s already a fan petition going ...
