My Revolution of PARTs

Fans across the world are currently enjoying Marvel Studios' most recent Disney+ series,  Moon Knight . The Oscar Isaac-led show sees its titular character having to navigate with their Dissociative Identity Disorder, alongside dealing with the fact that they are the Avatar to the Egyptian God of the Moon, Khonshu. However, this project has one key difference from its other MCU brethren: it stands wholly on its own. For many, that quality is one of the most refreshing aspects of the show. There aren't cameos from other MCU heroes, references to bigger world events (like the Statue of Liberty debacle), or even any need for prior knowledge—audiences can jump right in at episode one and know everything they need to. ADVERTISEMENT It's an interesting aspect that, for better or worse, is rarely seen in Marvel's projects. Even the recent  Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings , which set up an entirely new corner of the world, had heavy ref...

For decades, movie magic has brought to life countless stories in ways previously never thought possible—from visual effects to incredible makeup, and many visual trickeries conveying actions or images that never actually happened. When audiences see somebody shot on screen, or stabbed, maybe even maimed—none of it actually happened in real life. The final product can make it seem like it absolutely did happen by using a combination of practical trickery, optical illusions, and special effects. That magic has continued to evolve the storytelling capabilities of films and televisions. A movie like Avengers: Endgame could never have been made at the same quality level a decade ago. The possibilities continue to expand to an almost overwhelming degree. ADVERTISEMENT Now, ADR voice casting director Terri Douglas has opened up about one secret of moviemaking that has slipped under the radar of many Marvel movie fans. Meet Marvel Studios' Terri Douglas ...

The Marvel Studios train has once again started back up, with Oscar Isaac's  Moon Knight  in full swing. With two installments out already, fans aren't even halfway through the madness of Steven Grant, Marc Spector, and the Egyptian God of the Moon himself, Khonshu. This new series is one of only a handful of Marvel projects that directly deals with Gods within the MCU. One of the more recent projects in the same boat was Tom Hiddleston's  Loki . On the surface, one wouldn't think that Moon Knight or Loki would have many any connections with each other—besides the obvious of them both being associated with Gods. Other than that, the two seem fairly far removed from each other. ADVERTISEMENT Steven Grant and Marc Spector are just a normal, everyday person cursed with the duty of being a God's Avatar, while Loki is a powerful God himself, with no one to answer to. So what further connection could these two possibly have? Well,  Moon Kni...

While fans are currently engaged in the weekly story of Oscar Isaac's  Moon Knight , it hasn't kept audiences from looking forward to what comes next:  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . The movie is said to be the first true dive into the Multiverse, something that seems right up the ally of Benedict Cumberbatch's former Sorcerer Supreme. The trailers have teased many aspects of the film, from a giant monster named Gargantos, countless Variants of the leading characters, and the introduction of Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez. It even looks like Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch is breaking bad. ADVERTISEMENT One of the biggest teases present in the footage released so far has been the sound of an offscreen voice, one belonging to Patrick Stewart. The actor previously portrayed Professor X in the early 2000  X-Men  movies, so, naturally, fans have assumed that's exactly who he'll be playing here. On top of that, the ...

Strange things are about to happen. Set several months after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home , Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is expected to further explore the Multiverse and its ramifications. Of course, the now-former Sorcerer Supreme, who lost his title upon his  Avengers: Endgame  return, won't be alone.  Benedict Cumberbatch's Dr. Stephen Strange won't only be joined by Benedict Wong but also Rachel McAdams reprising her 2016 role as Dr. Christine Palmer. Doctor Strange 2 also stars Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff, following her "incident" in WandaVision on Disney+, as well as America Chavez, played by Xochitl Gomez. ADVERTISEMENT Due to Marvel's reputation for secrecy and the sequel's Multiversal focus, anything can happen. However, what fans do know is that the film's trailer teased Strange in handcuffs, along with a sense of reckoning.  While Cumberbatch defended his character and hi...

James Gunn makes his triumphant return to Marvel Studios this winter with  The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special . The horribly beautiful mind's momentum is the highest it has ever been at the moment, as Gunn is coming off the smash successes of both  The Suicide Squad  and  Peacemaker . If the Christmas-themed Guardians one-off succeeds, Gunn will be riding three consecutive hits as he goes into 2023's  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 . Specifics surrounding the threequel remain close to the vest, but Gunn has not been shy about teasing the swan song elements of  Vol. 3 . The director has claimed  Guardians 3  will be  "the last time people will see"  the current Guardians of the Galaxy roster, and he gave a straightforward  "yes"  when asked if a character will die in the upcoming movie. ADVERTISEMENT While  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3  marks the end for some, it is also the beginning for others. Will Poulter's A...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe remains one of the biggest powerhouses in the movie industry, largely thanks to the never-ending efforts of Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. With nine new MCU entries in theaters and on Disney+ in 2021, which precedes six more to come in 2022, Feige isn't resting on his laurels after breaking the internet and the box office with Avengers: Endgame . Although Feige can't be as involved as he used to be on a day-to-day basis, he's busier than ever as he ensures that the franchise flows smoothly and consistently through each new addition to the story. With everything from the Emmy award-winning WandaVision to the Mulitverse-shattering Spider-Man: No Way Home under his watch, Feige's job gets more extensive seemingly every year. ADVERTISEMENT Even with so much responsibility, Feige continues steering the ship and pushing the MCU forward to new heights and success with each release. Recently, half of Endgame...

Sony Pictures just released the next step in its Spider-Man Universe with Jared Leto's  Morbius . The film had previously been hit with multiple delays, including one likely caused by the extreme success of  Spider-Man: No Way Home . But fear not, it's finally here, and it's—well, not great, at least according to those who have seen it thus far.  Many have pointed out the dated feel of the movie, lackluster visual effects, and a truly baffling set of post-credits scenes. Even Sony's previous outing,  Venom: Let There Be Carnage , wasn't torn apart nearly as badly as the Living Vampire has been; its Rotten Tomatoes score wasn't anything to be proud of either. ADVERTISEMENT Given the vocal outrage, it's hard not to wonder what the man behind the project thinks about everything being said. Thankfully, the director behind  Morbius  sat down and revealed exactly what he thinks of all the words being thrown his way.  Morbius' D...

There are many reasons the MCU keeps on winning: consistent quality, blockbuster action, and interconnected storytelling on a scale never put to screen before. Across the Infinity Saga, Marvel Studios spent over ten years introducing audiences to heroes and villains and building towards an epic conclusion that got audiences so invested that it went on to become the biggest film of all time. Naturally, the numerous projects that have released over the latest 14 years have come courtesy of countless creative geniuses, but one man sits at the helm of it all: Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. The popular producer has been involved with every film and series to come out of the MCU and is ultimately the one making the final decisions and plans that keeps it all connected. ADVERTISEMENT For years, fans have been talking about Feige's master plan for the MCU, with the producer said to have the next decade of Marvel stories mapped out. But based on recent...

After multiple delays, Morbius , Sony's latest addition to its Spider-Man Universe, has finally arrived in theaters. Whether fans wish it had is another question. While audiences have their issues with the film's plot and quality, much of the outcry stems from the film's misleading promotional campaign and the use of Michael Keaton's Vulture from Spider-Man: Homecoming .  Following  Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage , Morbius was intended to be the third installment in Sony's MCU adjacent Spider-Man Universe. When delays led to the project releasing after Spider-Man: No Way Home , fans were curious to see how the studio would continue to handle the existence of Multiversal Spideys in the following film.  ADVERTISEMENT This intrigue was only heightened by the fact Morbius ' trailer featured references to both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man franchises, as well as a clip of Michael Keaton as Adrian Toomes or...

Sony Pictures has long been hard at work on creating its own interconnected universe. First with  Venom , and then  Venom: Let There Be Carnage ; this weekend, a new anti-hero joins the family: Morbius . Jared Leto perfectly embodies the lead character, bringing to life an intense, touching, and visually entertaining comic book epic. Audiences will no doubt take to the Living Vampire quickly—don't be surprised if Michael Morbius becomes a household name.  If most of what was read in the above paragraph felt incorrect, well, that's because it was. In fact,  Morbius  is getting destroyed by both critics and fans alike. Nearly every aspect of the film has been criticized, with many claiming the movie belongs in the early 2000s. The project even ended up getting one of the lowest CinemaScores to date, sitting above only  Fan4stic . ADVERTISEMENT One of the biggest points of contention about the film was its post-credits scenes involving Michael Keato...

Morbius  is finally in theaters after numerous delays, a number of trailers, and more than a few confusing quotes from the film's cast and crew. The movie follows Jared Leto's Michael Morbius, a scientist who, in an attempt to cure his blood disease, infects himself with a form of vampirism. The critical reception has been less than stellar for the film, and early box office returns are grim, to say the least.  The blood-sucking epic serves as Sony's latest stab at their own Spider-Man universe. Thus far, the webhead himself has not shown up in any of the Sony Spider-Man Universe films (aside from Tom Holland's brief moment in the post-credit scene of  Venom: Let there be Carnage ). ADVERTISEMENT But there have been hints pointing to the wall-crawler in  Morbius'  multiple trailers. Whether it was the Oscorp logo from  The Amazing Spider-Man , Micheal Keaton's Vulture from  Spider-Man: Homecoming , or Tobey Maguire's web-sling...

The MCU is inching closer to its long-awaited return with its latest project, Moon Knight , whose first episode will arrive before the end of March. Featuring Oscar Isaac in the leading role and Egyptian native Mohamed Diab as its director, this limited series will bring the MCU's first new hero of the year in a wild globe-spanning adventure Throughout its marketing campaign, Marvel and the team behind Moon Knight have teased the series as a largely standalone project in relation to its other MCU counterparts. Although there are rumors pointing to a potential appearance by Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/the Hulk, this show won't necessarily rely on connections to the larger story to expand its own narrative. ADVERTISEMENT That isn't to say that Moon Knight won't cross over with other major heroes in the MCU at some point, as Isaac has already teased who he would like to team up within other projects down the road. To give fans an idea of w...

After years of waiting through endless delays,  Morbius  is finally right around the corner. Scripting work began almost five years ago in November 2017, titular star Jared Leto and director Daniel Espinosa signed on in June 2018, and shooting was finally underway in February 2019 and wrapped up in June 2019. So, while  Morbius  may be releasing just after  Spider-Man: No Way Home , it wrapped filming before  Far From Home and  Avengers: Endgame was even released. With the Marvel universe being such an interconnected world, now more than ever with the Multiverse at play, coordination between crews is important. Marvel Studios is renowned for the intricate work that goes into crafting the cinematic universe, but what's surprising is how Sony's Spider-Man universe plays into the puzzle. ADVERTISEMENT Despite having  Venom  and  Morbius  taking place separate from the MCU in its own universe, they are loosely connected through Spider-Man. Although t...

Fans are a week away from experiencing  Morbius  and things do not seem to be going as planned. The Jared Leto-starring blood-sucking epic has had impressions leak ahead of its review embargo, and initial reactions are less than glowing, to say the least. The Sony Spider-Man Universe's latest has been in the works for a long time, but after multiple delays, it's seemingly ready to come out.  The film follows Leto's Michael Morbius, a biochemist who in an attempt to cure himself of a rare blood disease inadvertently gives himself a form of vampirism. Other than that still not much is known about the project, with confusion popping up around every corner.  ADVERTISEMENT Throughout the film's long marketing campaign, hints at all three different on-screen Spider-Men have appeared, bringing up the big question 'what universe does  Morbius  actually take place in?' Well, director Daniel Espinosa has come out to clear the air on just th...

Sony Pictures' universe of Spider-Man characters has been a divisive topic for a long time amongst fans. Many feel like the studio is consistently mishandling its characters, and that they'd be better off alongside Tom Holland's Spider-Man in the MCU. However, Sony doesn't feel the same way. They have already released  Venom  and  Venom: Let There Be Carnage , and a third entry is on its way: Jared Leto's  Morbius . The project is once again set to focus on a Spider-Man villain sans the Spidey aspect. This time fans will get to know Doctor Michael Morbius, who accidentally turns himself into a vampire after trying to find a cure for his blood disease. ADVERTISEMENT With the Multiverse in full effect thanks to the likes of  Loki  and  Spider-Man: No Way Home , one has to wonder: what universe does this new film take place in? Going by marketing material, it doesn't even seem like Sony knows for themselves. Warning - The rest of th...

After taking fans on adventures through various cultures and mythologies in the past, the MCU is about to take its first deep dive into the world of Ancient Egypt in the upcoming  Moon Knight  series. The Disney + project stars Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector, a mercenary who, while suffering from a dissociative identity disorder, gets tangled up in a deadly mystery involving the Egyptian Gods.  The  Moon Knight  directing team is led by Mohamed Diab, who will be in the directing chair for four episodes, while Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead take on the other two. The series looks to be a globe-trotting affair with shooting having taken place all over the world in places such as Budapest, Jordan, and Atlanta.  ADVERTISEMENT And for lead director Diab, this project was all about getting that Egyptian feeling right. Being a native Egyptian, he has seen it done wrong so many times before, so getting it perfect this time around was essential. And speaking of h...

Morbius  is the next villain-turned-anti-hero who will debut on the big screen as part of Sony's Marvel universe. The upcoming movie will feature Jared Leto as the titular living vampire, a character who is a Spider-Man villain in the comics but is being shown as a hero in the project similar to Tom Hardy's Venom. While it is unknown where Morbius fits in the vast Spider-Verse, the film is expected to shed some light on Sony's plan for its Marvel characters. In the past two years, Morbius had its fair share of delays, mostly due to the pandemic. Recently, the film was delayed amidst the theatrical run of  Spider-Man: No Way Home. ADVERTISEMENT Initially, Morbius was slated to premiere on January 28, but it was delayed to April 1 instead. As a result, reports came in that No Way Home spurred the aforementioned delay, mainly because of the film's stellar box office run.  Now, the film's director has shed some light on the subject. ...
