Girlfriend Chooses Infinity War Over Prom Text Goes Viral


The greatest MCU superhero showdown, Avengers Infinity War will finally release by the end of the month. Avengers Infinity War being one of the most awaited superhero movies ever has increased the anticipation among both casual movie lovers and die hard Marvel Cinematic Universe lovers.
A few days ago, a Reddit user shared a text message with his girlfriend, where she asked him to take her to the movie instead of going to the senior prom. The boyfriend shared the text message on social media platforms and hinted that he is proud of her.

Skipping a once in a lifetime event such as Senior Prom to watch Avengers Infinity War will give you a clear idea on the hype. In addition, it also implies that just like us, there are tons of MCU fans who have been dreaming about the release of the third Avengers movie, Avengers Infinity War.

The screenwriter of Avengers Infinity War, Stephen McFeely said, “This is about the culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,". "This is about everyone getting together, or trying their hardest to get together, to fight a guy named Thanos. We’ve been teasing Thanos for many movies in 30 second clips, so hopefully all the lead up will allow us to really go to town with him and make him a villain that requires this epic level of storytelling. That is the word I would use most often. It’s ridiculously big."


The co-director of the third Avengers movie, Joe Russo said, “If you were to think of the Marvel universe over the last ten years as a book, this is the ending of the book. And then there may be new books written, but this is certainly the ending of this book.”

Anthony Russo stated, "I think as story tellers, what it means for us is that while you're always looking for a cataclysmic event in a film, to change a character, to challenge a character, and to sort of explore who that character is, and test who that character is, I think it gave all of us in this film an opportunity to figure out, well what were those ultimate tests for these characters?. To sort of go one step further even than how you would normally test a character in one of these films because we have the freedom to sort of think of it, in many cases, as sort of a final test.”

Superhero Deaths In Avengers Infinity War Will Be Permanent


As the release of Avengers Infinity War is around the corner, several MCU fans and casual movie watchers have been speculating about who will survive in Avengers Infinity War and who will meet demise in the third Avengers movie. Even though, Marvel has refused to share any clue on who will fall prey to Thanos’ destruction in the movie, it is safe to assume that at least a couple of the founding members of the MCU’s Avengers will not survive the third phase of MCU.

In a recent statement, the head of the Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige said that some of the deaths of the MCU superheroes that will happen in Avengers Infinity War will stay permanent. This means that the Marvel characters who dies in Infinity War will not be resurrected. So, it certainly is the end of the path for at least a couple of our beloved MCU heroes.

Kevin Feige said, “I mean, I could always list off the characters that we’ve killed in our movies that haven’t come back, but the big ones, which I know they’re looking at…? I would just say, yes… People need to be careful what they wish for.” He added, “People always will jump to that. That’s not necessarily what we’re talking about. I talk a lot, because I’m a big-ass nerd, about Star Trek: The Next Generation, All Good Things. That to me is one of the best series finales ever. That wasn’t about death. Picard went and played poker with the crew, something he should have done a long time ago, right?”


The fact that the MCU contracts of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and a few more will end by the fourth Avengers movie have urged several fans to see that either these characters will die in the upcoming Avengers movie or they will simply retire. It has been confirmed that Shuri, played by Letitia Wright will have a big role in the upcoming Marvel movies. So, there is a good chance that she might take up the mantle of Iron Man after Tony’s demise.

Rumours surfacing the internet also suggest that Valkyrie, who is played by Tessa Thompson might take up the mantle of Thor once Chris Hemsworth leaves the MCU. Finally, it makes sense if Bucky Barnes or Sam wield Cap’s Shield too. However, fans have been asking is Bucky Barnes White Wolf after the end credit scene of Black Panther. So, Sam Wilson might be the one who is the front runner to take up the mantle of Captain America.

Avengers Infinity War Will feature Multiple Character Deaths


If you are a person who has passionately followed the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the release of Iron Man in 2008, you might be probably aware of the fact that Avengers Infinity War is going to be the ultimate showdown between good and evil. However, the million dollar question Marvel fans and MCU lovers have been asking for a very long time is who dies in Avengers Infinity War.
It is true that the official from Marvel studios have confirmed that not every one of our favorite Marvel superheroes will survive Avengers Infinity War. So, if the question of who will survive in Avengers Infinity War has popped into your head multiple times, you are not alone. We all are dying to know who will fall prey to Thanos’ destructive forces and who will live to see another day.

It has almost been officially confirmed that one or two major Marvel characters will not survive the third Avengers movie, Avengers Infinity War. Robert Downey Jr., who plays Tony Stark / Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently stated that heads will roll in the third installment of the Avengers movie.


He said, “Believe me, I’m tired of every movie, you know, “It’s the end! It’s Armageddon! It’s the Be All, End All, Forever!” And then it’s… not. This one actually is. They’re not kidding. This is a heads-will-roll scenario.” Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem like a surprise, as the Mad Titan’s Arrival with the Black Order has hinted that something bad was really going to happen to our beloved Marvel heroes. From the Infinity War trailer leak, we were also able to see a glimpse at what Thanos is really capable of.

In addition, the Avengers Infinity War footage and the Avengers Infinity War prelude comics did hint that MCU heroes will have to take extreme measures to stop the Mad Titan and his Black Order. This means that Iron Man, Captain America, or Thor might even have to sacrifice their lives for the greater good.

So, you should be ready to stay farewell to at least a couple of the founding members of MCU’s Avengers. The writer of Captain America Winter Soldier and Civil War, Stephen McFeely recently warned fans to get ready to say goodbye to a few of their favorite MCU heroes. He said, “It’s safe to say we will say farewell to people.”

Black Panther Crosses Dark Knight In The Box Office


It seems that even the Dark Knight is unable to stop the king of Wakanda, Black Panther at the box office. Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther has just earned another 41 million dollars in the box office last office. This has brought the domestic box office total of the newly released MCU movie to be around $562 million.

One of the most interesting things you need to note is that the solo outing of the Wakandian King has just surpased the box office collection of one of the best superhero movies ever made, that is, The Dark Knight. According to reports from reliable sources, MCU’s Black Panther is currently the highest grossing solo comic book superhero movie ever. In addition, Black Panther is also the seventh-highest grossing movie in the domestic box office at the moment.

The only MCU movie with more box office earning than Black Panther is the first Avengers movie, which was released in the year 2012. MCU’s first superhero showdown Avengers had scored 623.4 million dollars and went on to became the fifth highest grossing movie of all time and the highest grossing superhero movie. However, records are meant to be broken and Black Panther is rumoured to break MCU’s box office records in the coming weeks.


Even if Black Panther managed to break the box office record of Dark Knight and the first Avengers movie, the success enjoyed by the ones who made Black Panther might be short lived. This is mainly because the greatest MCU superhero showdown, Avengers Infinity War is just a few weeks ago and it is estimated to break every superhero movie record.

However, in a recent statement, Mar Millar, who is writer some of the top selling Marvel comic books including Civil War believes that Black Panther’s box office record will remain intact even after the release of Avengers Infinity War. He said, “I'm going to make a bold, crazy prediction and you can giggle all you want: But I think Black Panther is going to outgross Avengers: Infinity War. I can feel it in my BONES”

Black Panther ending has really hinted a few clues about Bucky Burney’s character in the third Avengers movie, particularly the end credits scene. So, if you have not yet got a chance to see Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Michael B Jordan, and more in action, grab your Black Panther tickets and enjoy the show before Avengers Infinity War releases.

Letitia Wright knows how Shuri would interact with the Avengers


Ryan Coogler, who has earned a name in Hollywood through “Creed” and “Fruitvale Station”, has just directed one of the best MCU movies ever. The solo outing of Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa aka Black Panther has received huge praise from both critics and viewers alike, which is something Ryan would be really proud of.

Ryan Coogler’s MCU debut took viewers on a visual journey to the fictional nation of Wakanda. The movie showed the heroics of T’Challa, introduced the king’s allies, and gave us an incredible protagonist in the form of Michael B Jordan’s Killmonger. However, one of the major allies of Black Panther who was introduced in the movie was T’Challa’s sister Shuri.

Letitia Wright’s take on the character was phenomenal and she was one of the best things about the movie. She used her skills and genius to develop a number of devices and suits, which allowed Black Panther to thrive against Kilmonger and other villains.

Letitia Wright’s Shuri is rumoured to have a greater role in MCU and the actress have a clear idea on how her meeting with Bruce Banner or Tony Stark would go. She said, “I think she'll be OK. I think she would humble herself to learn from them, and challenge them as well with new designs and new ideas from Wakanda. And she's willing to learn from the West because her brother is so open now. I think she's embracing that as well. She would hold her own."

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe is swiftly drifting to the fourth phase, it has been rumoured that Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, and a few more Avengers will be existing the franchise, which will leave a major spot for a tech genius. The on-screen charisma and the brilliant performance delivered by Letitia Wright will undoubtedly make her a forerunner for the spot.


Letitia Wright talked about working aside Chadwick Boseman and said, "It was easy, and I’ll tell you why. I feel like it was ordained. I really, really feel like this is just a God thing. Even before I met him, I knew that he was going to play my brother. I just knew that we would connect because of the type of actor he is as well. He’s a person of the spirit, a like soul. Very grounded, down-to-earth, humble. I knew that when I met him, I wasn’t going to try and impress him, to force a friendship. I was just going to vibe and see if we connect on a soul level, and we did. And even in our first scene together, it was kind of like we’ve always been brother and sister."

Black Panther, which is currently running near you, will be the last Marvel movie before the ultimate superhero showdown, Avengers Infinity War. So, try to catch it to get pumped up for the next Avengers movie.

Black Panther’s Killmonger Has Just Solved MCU’s Villain Problem


As you would probably know, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has enjoyed tremendous success over the last 10 years that is since the release of Iron Man back in the year 2018. Even though MCU has grossed over 13.5 billion dollars in their 17 films, casual movie lovers and even die hard Marvel fans often complain that MCU has a major villain problem.

The criticism among fans and critics for not having a phenomenal antagonist was something marvel movies had been trying to fix for a very long time. However, when a new Avengers movie or marvel movie is being released, fans still complain that the  adversary in the movie was not up to the mark.
The God of Mischief, Loki played by Tom Hiddleston had earned huge praise after his first two appearances in marvel movies but it seems that marvel fans want to see the god side of Loki, which was explored a bit in Thor Ragnarok.

It is true that the likes of Cate Blanchett (“Thor: Ragnarok”), Michael Keaton (“Spider-Man: Homecoming”), and Kurt Russell (“Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2”) did show a glimpse of their talent in the last few MCU movie but most of these A-list actors failed to create a lasting impression. This is where Michael B Jordan’s Killmonger set things apart.


Jordan’s performance as Eric “Killmonger” Stevens in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther was phenomenal and it did leave a lasting impression on the viewers. Some critics even hailed him as the most memorable antagonist in the MCU movies. In fact, Jordan’s character is skilful, smart, powerful, and he do have a clear motive, which will make the fans feel for him.

In a recent interview, Jordan said, “The goal was to build a character that will entertain you, educate you, inspire and also scare you a little bit. For the first time for me playing a character like that, obviously, you want to put your best foot forward and try to shoot for the moon. Hopefully we got something that reaches up there.”

Jordan added, "A villain's agenda is deeply impacted by their backstory, their upbringing, their history, and Killmonger's was systemic oppression. That's what he grew up in the States. The only way he saw his way out was to go equip yourself, train yourself and take over." Even though, the comic origin of the character has been altered by the filmmakers, they were still able to give fans a clear idea on why Killmonger turned out to be a misunderstood person, who was forced to become a villain. This is what makes Eric “Killmonger” Stevens the best MCU antagonist ever.

Captain America: Civil War Explains The Difference Between Killmonger And T’Challa


The third installment of MCU’s Captain America Trilogy, Captain America Civil War was one the most important MCU movie ever. Captain America Civil War was crucial to MCU not because it divided the Avengers but because it introduced two iconic Marvel superheroes, Spider-Man and Black Panther.

The web crawler, Spider-Man played by Tom Holland got his solo movie a year ago. Even though Spidey is one most popular and best Marvel heroes, fans were more excited to see a solo Black Panther movie because of three reasons. The first reason is that the top-notch performance from second reason while the second was that fans wanted MCU to explore the fictional nation of Wakanda, which has an extensive collection of Vibranium.

The final reason was that some of the founding members of MCU’s Avengers will exit the franchise by Avengers Infinity War or the untitled Avengers 4 movie. So, you will need a strong and capable leader to lead the Avengers and Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther is one of the leading contenders who could lead a new team of Avengers.

Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa leaped straight into the action after the death of his father, T’Chaka in Captain America Civil War.  About two years later, Black Panther is on a solo mission against a greater foe, Erik Stevens aka Killmonger played by Michael B Jordan. If you have seen the movie, you will be well aware that Black Panther and Killmonger are similar in a number of aspects. However, the producer of the movie, Nate Moore recently stated that Captain America Civil War shows how Black Panther is different from Killmonger.


He said, “You feel the sympathy but you realize he never got over this awful thing that happened to him as a kid, right but was never able to circumvent that and become a good person. He actually becomes a bad person because of it, because vengeance consumes him to a degree he becomes a killer and has plans of essentially mass murder. Interestingly enough, T'Challa makes the opposite choice at the end of Captain America: Civil War, right? So there, he's confronted with Zemo and decides not to do the thing that I think Killmonger would have done immediately. That is where they are two sides of a different coin in a way because the men who they are dictate how they react to that very tragic circumstance.”

Even though the motives and reasons of Killmonger does makes him a reasonable guy, his actions depicts that Killmonger and Black Panther are two opposite sides of a coin. Black Panther will return for the next Avengers movie, Avengers Infinity War, which is scheduled for a May 4 release.

Ryan Coogler Writes an Emotional Letter to Black Panther Fans


Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther is not just another success MCU movie that will beat box office records instead it is a flat out phenomenon, which was an absolute treat to MCU fans and casual movie lovers.  As per reports, MCU’s Black Panther has earned 202 million dollars in just three days after its opening. The only other Avengers movie that has acquired more money in the box office was The Avengers

As Marvel fans and movie lovers are enjoying the massive success of Black Panther, the director of the movie, Ryan Coogler is speechless but he still does have a few things to say to fans. Ryan Coogler, who has enjoyed success with Creed and Fruitvale Station has made history, as Black Panther is the highest grossing film in the United States, which was directed by a black director. Coogler celebrated the success of Black Panther by writing an emotional letter to shows his gratitude to fans.

Coogler Wrote, “I am struggling to find the words to express my gratitude at this moment, but I will try. Filmmaking is a team sport. And our team was made up [of] amazing people from all over the world who believe in this story. Deep down we all hoped that people would come to see a film about a fictional country on the continent of Africa, made up of a cast of people of African descent.”


He added, “Never in a million years did we imagine that you all would come out this strong. It still humbles me to think that people care enough to spend their money and time watching our film- But to see people of all backgrounds wearing clothing that celebrates their heritage, taking pictures next to our posters with their friends and family, and sometimes dancing in the lobbies of theaters– often moved me and my wife to tears. For the people who bought out theaters, who posted on social about how lit the film would be, bragged about our awesome cast, picked out outfits to wear, and who stood in line in theaters all over the world– all before seeing the film.”

He concluded his letter by adding, “To the press who wrote about the film for folks who hadn’t yet seen it, and encouraged audiences to come out. And to the young ones, who came out with their parents, with their mentors, and with their friend. Thank you for giving our team of filmmakers the greatest gift: The opportunity to share this film, that we poured our hearts and souls into, with you.”

It is possible that Coogler might return to direct Black Panther 2 but there hasn’t been any official confirmation. However, it is evident that Kevin Feige and Marvel Studious will love to have the visionary and extremely talented Ryan Coogler back. Black Panther and some of his allies will be back for Avengers Infinity War, which is just a couple of months away from release.

Black Panther Director Wanted Spider-Man Villain Kraven The Hunter



The King of Wakanda, Black Panther will finally make his highly anticipated solo debuted in a few days and this MCU film will set up Avengers Infinity War, which is rumoured to be the greatest Marvel superhero showdown ever. In a recent interview, the director of Black Panther, Ryan Coogler revealed a shocking statement that two iconic Marvel characters almost made their live action debut in his movie.

Ryan Coogler added that he had originally planned for the long time foe of Spider-Man, Kraven the hunter to appear in the solo outing of Black Panther. However, the executives from MCU and Marvel studious refused his suggestions because they had other plans for Kraven the hunter. This means that Kraven might appear in the sequel of Spider-Man Homecoming or in one of the future movies of Sony that comes after Tom Hardy’s Venom.

Ryan Coogler said, “Being a Marvel fan, you want to grab all the characters, you realise there’s contractual things. You don’t have that character. There was a Christopher Priest run that was pretty heavy, there’s a big scene where Panther’s fighting Kraven, Kraven the Hunter.”

He added, “I’ve always loved Kraven the Hunter in almost every iteration. So there was a moment – ‘Can I grab Kraven?’ – and they were ‘Nah, you don’t have Kraven.’ He was one where I thought ‘Oh, man.’ But I don’t even know if he would have worked in the movie we ended up with, this was the early days.”


It is pretty exciting to hear Ryan Coogler is a passionate Marvel comic book fan and he has a number of ideas to bring more Marvel characters to the screen. This might help us to see more characters that are related to Black Panther or other Marvel superheroes in the sequel of Black Panther, which is rumored to take place after the events of the upcoming Avengers movies, Avengers Infinity War and Avengers 4.

Ryan Coogler also added that he had also wanted the Young Avenger, Eli Bradley aka Patriot to make an appearance in Black Panther. He said, “Crazy enough, for comic book fans, we toyed with the character Patriot for a little bit. Early on we were interested to get our hands on him, Joe [Robert Cole] and I, but that ended up going away so we could focus on Wakanda a little more.”

10 Big Reveals From Avengers Infinity War TV Spot

The third Avengers movie, Avengers Infinity War had a crucial presence at Today’s Super Bowl. MCU released a short 31-second trailer, which was full of reveals, teases, and secretes for the upcoming superhero showdown. The next MCU movie, Black Panther, which will hit the screen in a couple of weeks is rumored to set up Avengers Infinity War.


As you would probably know, Avengers Infinity War will mark the 10-year celebration of MCU and it will bring the MAD Titan, Thanos to the earth in search of his precious Infinity Stones. It is pretty evident that the combined force of Avengers and Guardians of Galaxy may struggle and even have to take extreme measures to stop Infinity War villain, Thanos.

The Avengers Infinity War leaked trailer has left a few hints about the movie instead of making any statements. Moreover, the brief teaser gives us a brief glimpse on character arcs and key scenes but it also leaves more questions than answers. Let us breakdown the trailer to uncover the subtle hints in it.

Bucky’s New Arm


Shuri and the top scientists from Black Panther’s Wakanda has come up with a brand new arm for Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier. It is interesting to note that Bucky’s new arm doesn’t contain a star and it seems that the effects HYDRA had on him has been reversed.

Tony’s New Tech



We get a brief glimpse at Iron Man’s new armor in the short Avengers Infinity War leaked trailer. The new suit has spread out from the inside of Tony’s body and it is pretty much similar to the Bleeding Edge tech from Marvel comic books.

Science Bros Are Back


The last time Tony Stark and Bruce Banner shared a screen together was in Avengers Age of Ultron. From the new trailer, it is evident that the Science Bros are back. The first Avengers Infinity War footage hinted that Bruce Banner will be wearing the Hulkbuster suit for a while but it seems that he will eventually transform into Hulk to stop Thanos.

Steve Is Back


One of our greatest worries about Avengers Inifinity war was will Vision survive without the stone. However, in the trailer, Steve joins black Widow and Vision, who seems to be in a bit of pain. So, this shot might suggest that Vision has already been attacked by Thanos or his Black Order.

Spidey Heads Into Outer Space


Spider-Man can be seen crawling up on of the mysterious ring-shaped machine that Thanos has sent to Earth. Spidey might encounter Thanos during this scene, which might not end well for the web crawler. However, Iron Man and Doctor Strange might show up to save him and then Tony gifts him the iconic Iron Spider suit.

Wanda And Vision


Wanda can be seen using her powers on Vision’s Mind Stone and It seems that Wanda is communicating to him. Perhaps, she might be the one who figures out a way to keep Vision alive even if he lose the Infinity Stone.

Nebula Returns


The new sneak peak gave us a clear look on the Adolescent version of Groot and Thanos’ daughter, Nebula. Nebula who is on the verge to seek vengeance from her dad will surely have a key role to play in Avengers Infinity War.

Cap Is Suited Up


We do get a closer look at Steve Rogers new suit from the Avengers Infinity War trailer leak. However, do not be fooled because Cap is actually holding two shields in the final shot of the trailer. We have to assume that both these shields may combine together to form a larger shield, which Cap will surely need if he’s going to face Thanos.

New Team-Ups


Yay! The MCU superhero team-ups that we have been waiting to see since the last 10 years is finally upon us. In the first few moments of the trailer, we can see Tony, Doctor Strange, and Spidey suited up and ready for action. After a few close-ups later, we can see Thor with Groot and rocket. This might be an endeavor to forge a new weapon for the God of Thunder.

Iron Man & Doctor Strange



In the final moments of the trailer, we can see a joint attack from the Sorcerer Supreme and Iron man. The impressive shot shows Doctor Strange coming up with an incantation right before a blast from Tony on someone who is attacking the city, presumably Thanos.

Hugh Jackman Might Play Wolverine In MCU



Superhero fans, film lovers, and comic nerds where shell shocked and left shattered when Hugh Jackman announced that he will no longer play the role of Wolverine after Logan. Even though the Australian actor who has played Logan/Wolverine in about 10 ten films has continuously claimed that Logan will be his final appearance as the Wolverine. However, Hugh Jackman did comment that he loves to see Wolverine with the Avengers but that didn’t happen until the year 2017.

In a recent turn of events, Disney, who currently own Marvel signed a new deal with Fox, which is the company that owns X-Men. The acquisition of Fox by Disney meant a lot to Marvel comic book fans because it meant that X-Men and Avengers might probably share the screen in the upcoming Avengers movies. Likewise, several fans also thought that this might urge Hugh Jackman to come back as Wolverine/Logan. Unfortunately, Hugh stated that he is no longer interested in reprising the role of Wolverine.


Nevertheless, Sebastian Stan who plays the role of Winter Soldier in the MCU recently stated that Hugh Jackman is having second thoughts and he seems a bit interested in reprising his role as Wolverine/Logan in the Marvel films that comes after Avengers Infinity War. At the Ace Comic Con Panel, Sebastian Stan said, “Recently I happened to be sitting next to Hugh Jackman. I didn't know what other awkward thing I could talk about but to be like, 'Am I going to see you soon?' I don't know. But he said a couple of things to me and I'll just leave it at that. Otherwise, I feel like I'm going to get into trouble with somebody.

Sebastian Stan also added, I asked him because I kept thinking he said whether or not that was, Logan, was supposed to be the last Wolverine thing or whatever and he said to me, well I think he publicly said out there, which was like he's been thinking about it and it's been on his mind. So, I don't, he may be. It is true that Hugh Jackman had recently said that the ship has sailed for him when asked about returning back to comic book world and putting up the claws. However, these statements from the Winter Soldier might mean that we might still be able to see Hugh back in action as the Wolverine.


Chris Evans Teases That He Will Be Playing Nomad in Avengers Infinity War

 
A recent autograph signed by Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans has finally confirmed one of the most popular Avengers Infinity war theories. There have been plenty of Infinity war theories floating around the internet since the official launch of the trailers. Marvel fans have been speculating on who will survive Avengers Infinity War, who will put an end to Thanos’s destruction, and a lot more over the last few weeks.

One of the fascinating theories, which many of us have thought would come to fruition, was that Steve Rogers/Captain America will finally take up on the mantle of Nomad. Comic book superheroes have often changed their name and take up different mantles over time. Nomad is one of the most popular and fan favorite mantle ever took up by Steve Rogers/ Captain America.

An Instagram user mkgschultre shared an image of her shield, which was blessed with the autographs of both Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans from the ACE Comic Con Phoenix. However, the most interesting thing about the image is that Chris Evans, who plays Captain America in the MCU has put both "Cap" and Nomad" under his signature.



On the other hand, Sebastian Stan who plays the role of Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier has written "I'm with Nomad" with an arrow pointing to signatu1re of Chris Evans. Marvel fans have been speculating that Captain America will become Nomad, particularly after the climax of Captain America: Civil War, which has set things especially well for Cap to take up the mantle of Nomad.

In a recent interview, Sebastian Stan said, "A fan said to me that you can add anything you want on Chris' face, and I was like, 'It's either a thought bubble or it's that, so. You can expect whatever you want. First of all, I wasn't even the first person to say that. Somebody else had gone out and said, 'He's Nomad,' or something. He is missing the star on his chest, so I don't know what that means. The way it's been going I would be on set and go, 'So you are missing the star on the chest, does that mean that you're [Nomad]?' I would probably discover it in the moment."

Chris Evans also talked about his beard in the trailer of Avengers Infinity War movie and said, "I think it’s cool. I think it kind of changes things up. We’ve seen Cap the same way so many times. He’s such a throwback, he’s such a classic. It kind of gives him a little bit of a modern vibe."
The third Avengers movie, Avengers Infinity War will hit screen of May 4th.

Black Panther Will Be a James Bond -Style Espionage Action Film


If you are an MCU fan who has seen all the MCU movies or at least the half of them starting from Iron Man, you will be able to see that Marvel efficiently infuses a bit of various genres into each of their film. For instance, Captain America Winter Soldier was a conspiracy thriller while Ant-Man was a well executed heist movie. On the other hand, Tom Holland’s Spider-man Homecoming was a coming of age teen drama while the recently announced Ant-Man 2 will be the first romantic comedy film from Marvel studios

So, most comic book fans are currently highly anticipated for Black Panther and Avengers Infinity War, as they are the next two marvel movies, which will hit the screen within two and four months respectively. However, several Marvel movie fans recently asked what type of a movie Black Panther will be. The director of the movie, Ryan Coogler has an exciting answer that the Black Panther movie will be a James Bond-style espionage action film


Coogler said, "When I first started talking to Marvel, one thing they were interested in was for Panther to be their version of James Bond, which I thought was incredibly interesting and exciting. It was a really outside-of-the-box way to look at T'Challa. There are some Bond films that I really, really like, and it gave me the opportunity to go watch some other ones."

This might sound a little bit strange to most of us because Black Panther is the leader and king of a highly-advanced nation and he was running around the Winter Soldier and others in broad daylight during Captain America Civil War. However, according to the director the upcoming Black Panther movie will reveal a very different side of the king and it was also focus a lot more on the element of secrecy.

Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri in Black Panther said, “Yeah, why not? She’s T’Challa’s Q. She's by his side with the technology he needs. The way she helps him is really cool" when asked about her role in the movie.  She added, "I hope Shuri can help people. Maybe you’re in school right now, and super smart and super intelligent, and people may be saying, 'You're a geek,' or whatever, making them feel bad. Maybe they can watch this film and be like, 'Man! Being smart or a scientist or super great at math is not a bad thing at all.'" Black Panther will hit theatres on February 16, 2018 and it is rumoured to set up Avengers Infinity War.

Tom Holland to Make a Cameo in Sony’s Venom



One of the highly anticipated superhero movies of 2018, Venom might include a brief cameo from the Spider-Man of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Tom Holland. After the failure of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” movie that stared Andrew Garfield, Sony decided to take a bold move by launching a shared universe with characters connected to Peter Parker/ Spider-Man.

As a result, Sony signed a deal with Marvel, which allowed the entry of Tom Holland as Spider-Man to the MCU with Captain America: Civil War. A year later, Marvel released a solo Spider-Man with Tom Holland playing the web slinger. As expected, the film was widely accepted by both critics and viewers and some even claimed that it was the best Spider-Man movie ever

In the meantime, Sony decided to take a bold movie and they planned their own superhero universe with the characters that were related to Man. They quickly announced a Venom movie and then tapped in Ruben Fleischer as the director and Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom. Still, it was unclear if Tom Holland’s Spidey would make an appearance in the movie or not

The head of MCU, Kevin Feige had stated that the two films are not related to one another and they both exist in their own universes. However, the producer of Sony, Amy Pascal caused confusion among fans by stating that Sony’s Venom movie will be “adjunct” to the MCU. Yet, it remained unclear whether both of these iconic Marvel characters would share the screen in Venom or not.


However, rumors surfacing around the internet claim that the head of development for Collider Video Kristian Harloff and Collider Video host Jon Schnepp stated that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will be making an appearance in Sony’s Venom. The episode of Collider Movie Talk where this happens has not yet been released

If the MCU’s Spider-Man makes a cameo in Venom, then it will establish a major connection between the upcoming Marvel Avengers movies and the offshoot superhero universe. This might also mean that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will also survive Avengers Infinity war. Arden fans of Marvel comic books will be excited and they would be more than happy to welcome this connection

If this happens, then Marvel and Sony could work together and lay ground for Holland’s Spider-Man and Hardy’s Venom to battle each other or team up against a greater threat. In addition, it will also mean that Marvel will be able to use more Spiderman characters such as Black Cat and Silver Sable.

Captain America Might Not Exactly Be Nomad In Avengers Infinity War



After the drop of the first Avengers Infinity War, we have been hearing several fan theories such as Thor will be wielding a new weapon, Vision will die, Captain America/Steve Rogers will take up the mantle of Nomad, and Tony Stark will sacrifice his life to save the universe and more. However, we still have no clue on how many of these theories will come to fruition in the movie.

Nevertheless, a recent autograph signed by Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans to a fan hints that one of these popular Infinity War movie theories might be actually true. In a recent announcement, one of the directors of the third Avengers movie, Joe Russo talked about the Nomad speculation about the character of Chris Evans

He said, “Our approach to [Steve Rogers] was to deconstruct him, to take him in a different direction. Obviously you can't deal with a character called Captain America without dealing with the thematics behind that, so we wanted a relevancy to it and we wanted to put him in a position where he was questioning the chain of command."

He continued, "You'll see in these 'Avengers' films, he's on a very specific journey as a character. Some people have suspected that he may be Nomad heading into 'Avengers 3' but I wouldn't say that he is exactly Nomad, but he is the spirit of that character.”

The past of Captain America that Joe Russo has been referring was actually  a part of Captain America #180. In this famous comic book issue, Steve Rogers/ Captain America become disillusioned with the policies of the government, which in turn urged him to ditch his familiar identify and costume to become Nomad

The end of Captain America Civil War gives us a clear indication that Cap is on the verge of become a rogue agent. This is because he was unable to team up with Iron Man/ Tony Stark who supported the government concerning the Sokovia Accords

Cap and a few more Marvel Superheroes including Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Falcon, and Scarlett Witch decided they will not sign the accord. The heroes who took the side of Captain America will be most probably included in the fight against unknown forces in the city of Black Panther, Wakanda. However, we will have to patiently wait for the third installment of the Avengers movie to know more about Cap’s identity.
