Marvel’s Kevin Feige on ‘Spider-Man’s’ Future

Media Release

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is on one heck of a run. Each of the company’s 14 films over the past eight years has opened in first place at the domestic box office, and they’ve brought in more than $10 billion globally. That success is a boon for Disney CEO Bob Iger, who led the $4 billion acquisition of the comic-book empire Marvel Entertainment in 2009. But it’s Feige who is credited with Marvel’s signature style — a blend of humor, optimism, and spectacle that has attracted legions of fans…

Speaking of competition, with DC recently relaunching their movie universe with Man of Steel, Batman Vs. Superman, Suicide Squad and the upcoming Wonder Woman…

Zendaya Not Playing Mary Jane Watson

Walt

Spider-Man: Homecoming has assembled a very talented and diverse group of young actors, but outside of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, no one cast has much in common with their comic book counterparts. That’s particularly the case with those we know are playing Liz Allen, Ned Leeds, and Flash Thompson, so when it was seemingly revealed that Zendaya is actually going to be revealed as Mary Jane Watson, no one was particularly surprised (though an awful lot of people were very upset). In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actress…

Doctor Strange Movie Review

Walt

In 1963 Strange Tales #110 introduced a character in Marvel Comics called Doctor Strange. Created and drawn by Steve Ditko the cover of Strange Tales #110 proclaimed him as Dr. Strange Master of Black Magic. I was not impressed with him because of my love for the action superheros like the Fantastic Four, Superman, Avengers, and others. But after reading later issues and the origin in Strange Tales #115, I realized that Magic was an intriguing part of the Marvel Universe. There were mystical threats and magical characters that needed…

What Is X-Men timeline For Logan

Walt

Even for our resident comic book nerds, Fox’s X-Men movie timeline is extremely confusing. There’s the rubbish post-apocalyptic world that they managed to prevent in X-Men: Days of Future Past, and the happy final scene where Wolverine was reunited with his old friends. Then you get X-Men: The Final Stand, in which Professor X (among many other characters) was killed, which puts it outside of both those timelines. And then there’s a separate one where X-Men: Apocalypse and the future films are now set, right? Well, we can’t offer a…
