My Revolution of PARTs

After the MCU kicked off its story with 2008’s Iron Man , Marvel Studios built the most successful interconnected universe in entertainment history in the 14 years that followed. The latest release in the franchise, Moon Knight , already takes a direction never before seen in the MCU with its dive into supernatural storytelling and ancient Egyptian mythology. While Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark ended his story nearly three years ago, he continues to have a heavy presence over everything Marvel Studios brings to Phase 4 and beyond. This also comes in the area of visual effects and costuming, which continues in Moon Knight with a thrilling and intricate new set of threads that debuted at the end of Episode 1. ADVERTISEMENT After being teased through Moon Knight ’s promotional tour, seeing the suit form over Oscar Isaac’s body was one of the most epic moments in the show’s first week of action. Ahead of its next appearance on screen, the show’s head writer...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has seen a lot of new blood recently. In the last year alone, audiences have met heroes such as Teyonah Parris's Monica Rambeau, Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, and Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop. This year is set to only increase that number exponentially. Soon, fans will be introduced to the MCU's adaptation of Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight, and the following months will see America Chavez, She-Hulk, and Ms. Marvel all enter the spotlight. Then, at the end of the year comes the next person in the Iron Man legacy: Ironheart. Otherwise known as Riri Williams, Ironheart will be a new character played by Dominique Thorne, who ends up crafting an entirely original Iron Man armor in her own garage. Her first appearance will be in the upcoming film  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever . ADVERTISEMENT Her role in the project is unknown, but what is known is how she will be spinning out of the Wakanda tale and into her ow...

The MCU may be in a bit of a lull right now, but this short respite will be short-lived with  Moon Knight  kicking off another run of superpowered adventures at home on Disney+. Another more mysterious project in the streaming sphere is  Armor Wars.  The series is likely set to come sometime in 2023, but nothing has been 100% confirmed on the scheduling front.  Armor Wars  will take on the legacy of Robert Downey Jr.s Tony Stark, as Don Cheadle a.k.a. War Machine navigates through a post- Avengers: Endgame  MCU. Aside from a brief cameo in  The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,  Cheadle has not appeared for Marvel Studios since  Endgame, so  fans are excited to see what Rhodey has been up to.  ADVERTISEMENT In the same way that  Hawkeye  and  Black Widow  were the first time long-standing MCU figures got their first solo project,  Armor Wars  looks to be that for James Rhodes/War Machine.  And even though the show is at least 18 months away, the project ha...

Spider-Man: No Way Home  is out in the world, and with it has come plenty of fanfare. The film brought together three generations of big-screen Spider-Man adventures for one ultimate wall-crawling epic. The MCU's Spidey threequel broke barriers both in-universe and out, becoming the biggest film since the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic began back in March 2020. No Way Home  not only served as a celebration of Spider-Man/Peter Parker's past but also offered an exciting glimpse into what could be for this character's future on the big screen. Gone are the days of Tom Holland's web-slinger getting the help of his longtime mentor in Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark, as this character is truly on his own for the first time in his MCU tenure.  ADVERTISEMENT Holland's Marvel hero has lost a lot, including his first love, his mentor, and his maternal figure in Aunt May. But with the Mutliversal barriers breaking down and the character receivin...

Spider-Man: Far From Home introduced a new AI created by Tony Stark, which Stark gifted to Tom Holland's Peter Parker. This technology was named EDITH, an artificial intelligence security and defense system with an acronym that stood for "Even Dead, I’m The Hero." The AI glasses served as an integral part of the sequel's narrative, essentially proving to be an advantage and disadvantage over the course of the movie.  Initially, Holland's Peter was the only one who could access the complex AI, thus giving him access to tactical drones from Stark Industries' satellite. This dangerous weapon eventually fell into the wrong hands, with Peter openly giving it to Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio - Far From Home 's main villain.  ADVERTISEMENT While the sequel ends with Peter successfully defeating Mysterio and regaining access to EDITH, Far From Home proved that this AI is a terrifying weapon that could quickly become a threat if l...
