"I don't find it to be fulfilling": Harry Styles Reveals He Might Not Return as Eros in Eternals 2

Image
A prominent and well-known name in the realm of modern music is Harry Styles. However, in recent years and up until this point, it appeared as though the gifted musician was prepared to rule Hollywood and become a well-respected actor. To everyone's dismay, the singer recently admitted in an interview that he might be finished acting—at least temporarily. Marvel fans who also happen to be followers of the musician may find this to be a significant letdown because they were pleasantly surprised by his unexpected presence in the 2021 movie Eternals.  Related: Dwayne Johnson Thinks That MCU and DCEU Could Cross Paths One Day Harry Styles made his MCU debut in the brief but memorable role of Eros, brother of Thanos, interplanetary adventurer, flirtatious serial killer, and Titan's Eternal. An incredibly interesting and dynamic part to play within the brand. Many people were curious about Styles' role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after his presence in the post-credits scene....

Dwayne Johnson Thinks That MCU and DCEU Could Cross Paths One Day

Since the debut of the first Iron Man movie, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been constantly expanding. The franchise has established a strong reputation for itself thanks to excellent acting, captivating stories, and happy endings. With a few forgettable movies that haven't gone up to expectations, the DC Extended Universe, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be on level with the MCU. Black Adam, the next major film in the DCEU, will star none other than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Related: Zack Snyder Fans Reportedly Sent Death Threats to DCEU Boss Walter Hamada Dwayne Johnson shared some intriguing ideas with the audience in a recent interview with Total Film. First, he discussed the DCEU's intention to broaden the universe by adding new characters and other material. He then moves on to his upbeat theory, in which he claims that there are two pantheons of superheroes and supervillains: one for DC and the other for Marvel. He believes that these two routes will...

Zack Snyder Fans Reportedly Sent Death Threats to DCEU Boss Walter Hamada

After Justice League's Ray Fisher accused Zack Snyder of meddling with an inquiry, supporters of the director made death threats to DC Films President Walter Hamada. Zack Snyder supporters allegedly made death threats to DC Films President Walter Hamada after he was accused of obstructing an inquiry into wrongdoing that occurred during reshoots for 2017's Justice League. Variety reports that many Warner Bros. employees have shown their support for Hamada and believe he has been treated unfairly ever since taking the helm of DC Films. They stated that after Justice League star Ray Fisher publicly accused the executive of hindering an inquiry into misconduct charges connected to "reshoots on" Justice League that were directed by Joss Whedon, Hamada "had to endure death threats."  The employees felt that Warner Bros. could have done more to defend Hamada during the time of allegations and feel that it was unjust that fans of the Snyder-verse singled him out be...

She-Hulk Star Addresses Sexist Backlash, Says Show Will Challenge Marvel Fans

Image
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law got off to a rocky start to its public debut. People's reactions to the series' debut trailer were, to put it mildly, divided, with some criticising what they perceived as poor CGI for the show. Many people were a little uncertain about what to anticipate when the show premieres in a few days as a result of this. However, it begs the question: How much of that criticism was sincere? And to what extent was a sexist mob responsible for it? Talking about those kind of people is never enjoyable, but they do exist, particularly in the world of pop culture. And to make matters worse, they frequently have some of the loudest voices in crowds.  Related: Mark Ruffalo Defends the MCU By Criticizing Star Wars Should viewers begin preparing themselves for some of that poisonous blowback when the show premieres?

Mark Ruffalo Defends the MCU By Criticizing Star Wars

Despite having previously said that he would love joining The Mandalorian trilogy alongside Pedro Pascal (Din Djarin) and the always-popular Grogu, Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner/Hulk), a favourite of MCU fans, has suddenly slammed the Star Wars world while praising Kevin Feige's Marvel films. Related: The Quantity of Marvel films Makes Each one Less Special, Says Lindelof When asked if he believed Marvel Studios was producing too much material between its film slate and its always expanding roster of Disney+ Original programmes, the actor responded as follows: "I understand that these things run their course and then something else comes along. But the thing Marvel has done well is that, inside the MCU, just as they do with comic books, they let a director or an actor sort of recreate each piece to their own style, their likeness. Marvel generally lets them bring that to the material." Ruffalo continued: "If you watch a 'Star Wars,' you're pretty much going ...

The Quantity of Marvel films Makes Each one Less Special, Says Lindelof

According to Lost creator and MCU supporter Damon Lindelof, Marvel should create fewer films. The 49-year-old director gave Vulture an interview in which he outlined his reasons for believing that Marvel should produce fewer movies to create a more memorable experience. He declared, "This is a business. "It's a industry." And if you produce a few excellent Marvel films, the natural reaction is to say, "We need to produce more Marvel films, and we need to grow this." I'm thinking internally, 'Wow, I wish they made less because it would make each one that came out a little bit more special. But I watch all of them… People don't want things to end. I do." It's challenging to make an argument against it, especially in light of what Marvel has produced this year.

Shang-Chi Star Simu Liu Roasts Warner Bros. Over Batgirl Cancelation, Gets Criticized

Simu Liu, the star of Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, made fun of Warner Bros. and DC Films for recently cancelling Batgirl. Recently, Warner Bros. Discovery has made headlines for cancelling the $90 million Batgirl television series because they "didn't believe in it." The Batgirl cast and crew have received support from some actors and filmmakers. While James Gunn and others have assured their audiences that their projects are safe, Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings protagonist had a quite different reaction to the cancellation of Batgirl. Liu tweeted the following criticisms of Warner Bros. Discovery: "I'm sorry to inform you guys that Disney has decided to scrap the Shang-Chi Holiday Special due to quality control concerns. I had already filmed the entire thing. I even designed an all-gingerbread Ta Lo. RIP Shang Chi and the Legend of the TEEEN GOLDEN RIIIIINGS." I'm sorry to inform you guys that Disney ha...

John Boyega Rejects Marvel for Now: I Want ‘Fresh Ideas’ and You Can’t Top ‘Iron Man’ Anyway

It's difficult to go two or three months without coming across an online rumour stating John Boyega will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A 2021 rumour said Boyega was involved in the "Captain Marvel" sequel "The Marvels," while an unverified story from May claimed Boyega had already shot a secret Marvel role. In a recent interview with Men's Health, Boyega has dispelled those claims, claiming that he is not now interested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Boyega stated of Marvel movies, "That's not in the picture for me right now." "I want to take sophisticated actions... I want to donate my talents to independent films with fresh, innovative ideas because I know how difficult it will be to top "Iron Man" in that genre.

Thor: Love and Thunder Becomes Least-Rated Thor Film on Rotten Tomatoes

More than any other MCU franchise, the Thor one is characterised by ups and downs. Thor's sequel, Thor: The Dark World, fared considerably worse than its predecessor, failing to meet up to the standards of its MCU rivals, marking a new low for the franchise. The third movie in the series, Thor: Ragnarok, was directed by Taika Waititi, who brought fresh hope to the franchise with his special blend of humour and imagination. Related: Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes Fans anticipated Thor: Love and Thunder, Waititi's second MCU picture, to be on par with or even better than that. However, following its publication, many people felt let down by the sequel due to what they perceived as a lack of tone balance and a waste of characters and plotlines. The movie has suffered as a result, both critically and commercially. Thor: Love and Thunder has already broken a new record for the franchise, and not in a positive manner, despite having been out for les...
