MARVEL FANS UNITED

Even if the first teaser for Avengers: Infinity War has already been screened for the select audiences at this year’s D23 Expo and San Diego Comic Con, Disney and Marvel haven’t released any footage for the larger audiences. So those that weren’t present at these conventions missed the opportunity to see how powerful Thanos really is. Of course, we’ve all read the descriptions of the footage, which have flooded the internet almost as soon as it was screened. But this cannot be compared with actually seeing it. And so we are still hoping for the same teaser to be released online. When will that happen? Well, the principal photography forAvengers: Infinity War finished this past summer. And we believed that the studio will follow the same formula it did with previous ensemble flicks, in the sense that a first trailer will be seen in October. However, we are already in November and the clip is still nowhere to be seen. There were rumors saying that Taika Waititi’s...

Major spoilers for Thor: Ragnarok – Thor: Ragnarok may be the end of the Thor trilogy, but it’s also one of the final films before the mega-franchise MCU reaches its epic culmination with Avengers: Infinity War– and you can bet Taika Waititi’s film sets that up with a few carefully placed clues. For the most part, Ragnarok is focused on being its own thing: an all-out comedy in line with director Waititi’s previous efforts (What We Do In The Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople are essential pre-viewing) as much as it is the story of Asgard’s destruction (although it is that too). But just because it feels like a focused experience – a single episode of a Saturday morning cartoon – doesn’t mean there’s nothing playing into the bigger season arc. Ragnarok‘s littered with wider MCU references, with numerous callbacks to The Avengers but also some directly linking into Thor’s future and specifically the next outing for Earth’s M...

Robert Downey Jr. confirms his return as Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, in Anthony and Joe Russo’s untitled Avengers 4 movie. The upcoming 2019 superhero team-up movie will effectively conclude the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first saga before beginning anew with the Spider-Man: Homecoming  later that year.Avengers 4 was originally billed as being the second-half of a two-part story, but the studio eventually decided to go in a different direction and make the film standalone. However, that doesn’t mean Avengers 4won’t contain repercussions from Avengers: Infinity War. The Russo brothers completed principal photography on Avengers: Infinity War a few months ago – which will see the Earth’s mightiest heroes reunite against the Mad Titan Thanos and his loyal Black Order – and are now knee-deep in filming what could be their fourth and final MCU installment,Avengers 4. Although Marvel Studios has been tight-lipped about who’s involved...

It’s been 10 years and 18 movies since Iron Man (2008) came out, and now MCU is approaching at the culmination of everything that has happened till now, as Kevin Feige puts it. Marvel Studios has managed to assemble a magnificent cast under one roof to create a mega comic-book event as part of phase 3. The Avengers Infinity war films are the most awaited superhero ensemble movies of the 21st century. Fans are ready to witness the grandest event called Infinity War. Marvel Cinematic universe will systematically expand to over 70 comic-book characters who are likely to appear in Avengers Infinity War movies. The superheroes will be literally jostling for screen time and space. The Russo Brothers had clarified that the final two movies in phase 3 are two independent movies without any major inter-linkages. The first one is from Team Avengers perspective while the second one is entirely based on Thanos storyline. There were many titles to choose from a host of comic-books related to th...

Thor Ragnarok is the upcoming Marvel movie inspired from Jack Kirby’s Ragnarok comic wherein Asgard is burned to the ground and rebuilt from the ashes. The plot revolves around Thor’s struggle to stop goddess of death from destroying his home planet. The critics have heaped massive praise on Taika Waititi direction style and the fun elements introduced in the movie. The first reactions from the audiences are very positive and everything from visual effects to storytelling is just impeccable. The movie is sitting at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes at present. Apart from the usual cast including Chris Hemsworth (Thor, God of Thunder), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Anthony Hopkins (Odin) and Idris Elba (Heimdall), the movie also features two-time Oscar award winner Cate Blanchett (Queen Elizabeth, Blue Jasmine, Carol etc) as the powerful new villain Hela (leader of Doomeo i.e Asgardian Hell); Jeff Goldblum (Independence Day, Jurassic Park) as the eccentric grandmaster who is an elder of the universe, h...

After being left out of Captain America: Civil WarThor: Ragnarokwill see the titular God of Thunder and Bruce Banner/the Hulk team up to form their own ragtag superhero squad –dubbed “the Revengers” – to fight Hela, the Goddess of Death. Of course, we know thatDoctor Strange is also set to play a role, as teased by the post-credits scene of his 2016 movie, but there’s still one more Avenger who turns up in Taika Waititi’s threeequel that no one expected to see. Warning: spoilers will follow. * * * Stuck on Sakaar, Thor and Hulk attempt to escape in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet that took the Jade Giant into space at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron. When the controls are activated, a pre-recorded message featuring none other than Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow appears! “Nice work, big guy,” she says, in a scene which is meant to be set during Ultron‘s climax. “We don’t know where Ultron’s headed, but you’re going very high very fast so I need you to turn this bird a...

There’s a lot of excitement building up overThor: Ragnarok, and while most fans are eager to see what kind of treatment Taika Waititi’s giving Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and the rest of the characters of the film, others are a bit worried that their favorite heroes might not be the same. Speaking in an interview with Brandon Davis from Comic Book on the set of the film, Hiddleston finds himself being asked whetherThor: Ragnarok’s version of Loki is different from other versions in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "Yes, but that's in his nature," the Marvel star explains. "I think he's, he's a mercurial spirit, and the minute you try to define him, he changes shape. He is the shapeshifter in the pantheon, although events in Ragnarok try and inspire to change him forever, I think, but they change for everyone." It sounds a bit surprising that the Asgardian God of Mischief might change forever afterRagnarok, but meeting...
