My Revolution of PARTs

For five weeks now,  Moon Knight  has had Marvel fans enraptured with its mysterious story focused on ancient Egyptian mythology. Audiences worldwide have been introduced to Oscar Issac as Marc Spector/Steven Grant, someone who is coming to grips with their disassociation personality disorder. This split has Isaac portraying more than one character, as well as the titular hero of the show.  But could there be more alternate personas on the way? The closing moments of Episode 5 seemingly teased that yet another personality would be revealed in time. ADVERTISEMENT After Marvel Comic character Bertrand Crawley showed up in the latest episode, eagle-eyed fans have deduced that this new third version Isaac's hero could be Jake Lockley. On the page, Lockley is a cab driver who uses Crawley as an informant, so it would make a lot of sense if he were to show up.  Nothing has been confirmed in regard to Lockley's inclusion, but new quotes supposedly hint...

After Groot sacrificed himself at the end of the first film of the franchise, the Guardian of the Galaxy has gone through multiple transformations over the years. Initially, Groot was a full-sized adult in the 2014 MCU film, but his sacrifice meant that he was essentially reborn at the end of the movie, thus leading to the debut of Baby Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 .  Baby Groot had many memorable moments in Vol. 2 , but it was the only movie that this iteration was ever featured in. Avengers: Infinity War showcased the debut of Teenage Groot, an angsty version of the character who is wholly dedicated to playing video games rather than focusing on missions.   ADVERTISEMENT As the next chapter of the Guardians franchise is poised to take center stage once again, it seems that another iteration of Groot will be highlighted.  Groot Through the Years Groot will have an all-new look in upcoming Guardians projects.  Guardians of the Galaxy Holi...

Cosmo Confirmed for Holiday Special Ahead of the official wrap of  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3  and  The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special , director James Gunn shared one of his end of productions gifts with the world on Twitter . Marvel The present in question features eight different Christmas ornaments, spotlighting characters such as Mantis, Drax, Nebula, Groot (who looks to have grown into an older adolescent), Star-Lord, Kraglin, and Rocket. Also, surprisingly present is Cosmo, the Russian telepathic dog, first seen in 2014's  Guardians of the Galaxy  within the Collector's residence. This seemingly confirms the canine's involvement in one or both of the upcoming Marvel Studios projects. ADVERTISEMENT Marvel The spacefaring canine is looking as precious as ever, all dressed up as Rudolph with a red nose, antlers, and a shiny golden bell.  Marvel Festive decorations aside, Cosmo's spacesuit seems to be updated from his or...

In keeping with the comics, Marvel Studios' Moon Knight on Disney+ hasn't shied away from highlighting the character of Marc Spector's struggle with Dissociative Identity Disorder. In addition to serving as the avatar of the Egyptian mood god, Khonshu, Spector's other personality is that of Steven Grant; and from what fans have seen, the two are likely to discover a third personality before the show concludes. Throughout the show's first four episodes, fans and critics alike have praised Oscar Isaac's performances as the two distinct personalities and those moments where the two talk to one another.  ADVERTISEMENT And, while Oscar Isaac deserves recognition for his plural portrayals, credit is also due to those behind the camera tasked with bringing Moon Knight 's complex story to the screen; and apparently, Marvel Studios is doing just that.  Moon Knight Cinematographer's Future Plans in the MCU Marvel In talking with ...

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...

Moon Knight  is now four episodes into its season, with two left to go. Only a few weeks later, it'll be  Ms. Marvel 's time to shine. The young Pakistani American hero from New Jersey will finally get her chance to be introduced to audiences worldwide. While not much of the plot itself is known, it has been revealed that fans should brace themselves for some major changes. Instead of her usual stretchy powers, the character will instead be summoning light constructs, similar to Green Lantern. While many are divided about this change, the series is already promising to strike up conversations across the internet on a weekly basis. ADVERTISEMENT One of the most interesting aspects of Vellani's casting is how she's never acted before being hired by Marvel Studios. That's pretty crazy, especially considering she'll be one of the key figureheads of the MCU going forward. Well, now the actress behind the upcoming hero has commented on...

After an explosive and thrilling Infinity Saga, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is moving on to a new chapter as it deals with the vast Multiverse. The concept has been at the forefront of several Phase 4 projects already, such as Loki  and Spider-Man: No Way Home . Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the next project to bring in alternate realities, with the film being confirmed to travel across the Multiverse.  As the MCU explores this new concept, it also entails storytelling challenges along the way. Avengers: Infinity War  and Endgame  director Joe Russo expressed his concern about the rising trend in character revivals via Multiverse storytelling, admitting that "too much of one thing is a bad thing." ADVERTISEMENT No Way Home 's ending already introduced potential problems tied to the Multiverse. After all, returning cured villains into their own universe could open up a plethora of alternate timelines that change the cour...

Moon Knight delivered an in-depth look at the lore of the Egyptian gods of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the third episode giving viewers an understanding of the Ennead, their backstory, and why they chose to abandon humans. During the installment, five avatars of the gods were featured, namely  Horus, Isis, Tefnut, Osiris, and Hathor.  The Ennead was involved in several significant moments in Episode 3. First, the gods were summoned by Khonshu for Arthur Harrow's trial, ultimately leading to an unfortunate end on the Moon god's part as his fellow deities didn't believe his accusation. The group then resurfaces at the episode's ending, with them imprisoning Khonshu in stone due to him turning back the night sky.  ADVERTISEMENT Originally, the Ennead is composed of nine Egyptian gods, but Moon Knight only showed five of them (six, if Khonshu was not banished). This led to speculation among fans about what happened to the other gods. ...

After what felt like an eternally long wait, Marvel Studios is officially underway with the promotional tour for this summer's Thor: Love and Thunder . This sequel now has the shortest promo window in MCU history by a fairly wide margin, with fans theorizing about what was taking so long for the first look at the film to come to the public. Once the first trailer came online on Monday, April 18, the story behind Love and Thunder became clearer as Chris Hemsworth's Thor takes on his first solo story after Avengers: Endgame . With shots of Star-Lord and the Guardians of the Galaxy, along with the first full look at Natalie Portman as the Mighty Thor, there is certainly plenty to look forward to with the MCU's second movie in 2022. ADVERTISEMENT Marvel Studios has built an incredible reputation with its trailer release strategy that each new tease beings in viewership numbers unrivaled by almost every other franchise in the game. Now, that tre...

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 ...

When Shane Black’s Iron Man 3 first came out, the reception wasn’t the best. In fact, some fans downright hated the MCU entry. A lot of that came from the film’s big misdirect regarding The Mandarin, who turned out to be a thespian; far from a warlord. Thankfully, it seems those wounds are finally starting to heal, in part due to the release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings . The critically praised movie saw Marvel properly adapt the famous villain in a way many thought it did so perfectly, having created a new interpretation of the character as the strained father to Shang-Chi himself. ADVERTISEMENT While the Mandarin was billed as the key villain for Iron Man 3 , it was Aldrich Killian who ended up actually occupying that spot. By the end of the movie, he had seemingly been killed and the threat against the United States President ended. With how much Shang-Chi revisited the events from Stark’s third adventure, what are the odds that fan...

While Marvel Studios is reveling in its continued Phase 4 efforts, it is hard not to look back at what has come before - specifically, in what ended the historic decade-long run that has come to be known as the Infinity Saga. The groundbreaking collection of 23 films runs all the way from 2008's Iron Man  to 2019's  Spider-Man: Far From Home , with the pair of  Avengers: Infinity War  and  Endgame  serving as the culmination of these ten years of filmmaking.  At the center of those two  Avengers  films was the Mad Titan Thanos. Thanos had been teased as far back as 2012's  The   Avengers , but Brolin did not jump into the role until 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy .  ADVERTISEMENT Much of the Infinity Saga was spent checking in with Brolin's big purple baddie as he got closer and closer to collecting the Infinity Stones and then ultimately wiping out half the universe in  Avengers: Infinity War .  Now, the Avengers did do away with Th...

Bringing a character with decades of comic history from page to screen is no easy task, but fortunately, Marvel Studios has proven rather consistently successful over the years. Heroes like Captain America and Iron Man have been faithfully adapted in terms of their suits, personas, and occasionally stories. Meanwhile, characters such as the Guardians of the Galaxy have been overhauled on such a great scale that those changes have spilled onto the page. Among the toughest tasks in porting a Marvel legend to the screen comes in the costume. After all, many of these characters have existed for a long time and sported countless looks, some looked upon more favorably than others. But some heroes with the most ridiculous of suits have required drastic changes to avoid looking out of place. ADVERTISEMENT The MCU has undeniably had its ups and downs in this area, with Drax and Wanda Maximoff (until  WandaVision  at least) having been considered among the worst. ...

While Marvel Studios has an increasingly bright future ahead with Phase 4 of the MCU, there's always an opportunity to look back on the franchise's past to celebrate what came in the Infinity Saga. Fans do this by watching past Avengers team-up films and other solo outings on Disney+ while also looking out for exciting collectible items like Funko Pop! figures to add to their memorabilia collections. The more recent Funkos have primarily focused on upcoming Phase 4 projects, including figurines for Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight and Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . Funko Fair 2022 also announced plans for a unique set paying tribute to an iconic moment in 2018's Avengers: Infinity War , which brought the Guardians of the Galaxy into play next to Earth's Mightiest Heroes. ADVERTISEMENT Specifically, fans got a look at a Funko diorama set that brought all six Guardians together to replicate their fir...
