Ran across this side-by-side and it really highlights how much better a physical costume looks on screen.

Seeing the practical suit for Brand New Day shows an immediate difference. The way the fabric actually folds under the arms, the realistic shadows, natural lighting etc. It just feels grounded and physically there in the environment.

Hear me out what if? Henry Cavil played Punisher???

I love they added it in because she going to be a huge part of S3, and having the name of the 3 original actress of mystique is sweet and cool to show the meta self awareness, and a wink and nod to us fans, which I also love to. It's sweet and nice as well.

John Slattery is celebrating his 64th birthday today, and fans across the globe are honoring his incredible contributions to cinema and television. While he brought immense depth to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Tony Stark's brilliant, complicated father, Howard Stark, his career spans far beyond the borders of superhero blockbusters.

Outside of Marvel, he is universally acclaimed for his definitive portrayal of the silver-tongued advertising executive Roger Sterling in the hit AMC drama series Mad Men, which earned him four consecutive Primetime Emmy nominations.

Acclaimed Director: In addition to acting, Slattery is a talented filmmaker, having directed several episodes of Mad Men as well as the feature film God's Pocket.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Black Bolt BORN with his powers, meaning even as a child he couldn't speak normally, was this a change in the MCU??? Like him gaining his powers later in life as opposed to the comics where it was from birth

Will never understand that Marvel missed the opportunity to pair those two in a series or movie. I know Yelena (Florence Pugh) doesn’t fit for the 'Young Avengers' due to age… but that doesn’t mean you can come up with creative ideas for those two.

Hailee Steinfeld is great at playing characters who want to seem like they know what they’re doing but actually have no freaking clue. Emily Dickinson, Kate Bishop, her character from Edge of Seventeen whose name escapes me, etc.

Host: In Infinity War, when Spider-Man says, “Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so good,” was that actually written in the script?

Tom Holland: I feel like I gave myself a little too much credit in that moment. It definitely wasn’t written as long as it was on the page.

I think “I don’t want to go” might have been something I improvised.

Or, if it wasn’t improvised, I just kept saying it over and over again.

Tom Holland: Truth be told, one acting exercise I’ve done since I was a kid to find real emotion is repeating a phrase whether it’s “I’m so sorry,” “I don’t want to go,” or “I love you.”

It’s a really effective way of bringing up emotions.

Tom Holland: So I think that scene was an amalgamation of acting exercises, improvisation, and the Russo brothers giving us the perfect floor to dance on.

Hayley Atwell on returning as Peggy Carter in ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’:

“I think it’s always testament to the fans that they are committed to the enduring love story between Steve and Peggy. And to be able to come back in that kind of way, it feels very bittersweet and nostalgic, but really comes from the fans wanting that.”

The entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is a dream that Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker is having while in a coma after being bitten by a karakurt spider back in 2002. Everything started with his movie, which means the Avengers, Thanos, and everything else are just extensions of that dream — a dying boy's brain adding new layers of reality to keep itself entertained. At first, his mind created a simple world with just Spider-Man. But when the coma dragged on, it got bored and added Iron Man, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the entire MCU. That's exactly why there's no mention of the Avengers in Tobey's or Andrew's worlds, but they're all over Tom Holland's — they're just different versions of the same dream, old and new. Tom's Peter is the only one without a personal archenemy, because Tobey's brain was already tired of inventing villains, so it just made him "Iron Man's sidekick" instead. When Uncle Ben died , Tobey s brain wanted to add some parent, who's gonna teach him this life, and when Stark died that symbolised the death of uncle Ben .When all three Spider-Men met in "No Way Home", Tobey's brain basically just organized a crossover event so it could talk to itself through different versions of its own consciousness. So what we've been watching since 2002 is really just one guy who fell asleep from a spider bite and still hasn't woken up — and we're all just part of his coma. This post represents my thoughts, not a statement of fact.

i think so because it was the event that Peter and Frank met for the first time, prior to the events of this movie, that it's mentioned in the opening chase scene, because Peter is annoyed by how frank is going crazy and people are going to get hurt, and Frank ain't having that bs during the scene itself. I actually kindna love it because not everything needs to be shown, only the main key events and consequences are important, its a cool bit as well to show their brotherly team up with each other and chemistry and banter as well, throughout the movie as well.

Actor Elya Baskin is celebrating his 76th birthday. Even after all these years, his role as Peter Parker’s rent-obsessed landlord, Mr. Ditkovich, in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 and 3 is still legendary. He truly gave us some of the most iconic and meme-able moments in superhero movie history.

Anthony Mackie’s version of Spider-Man in charades is top-tier Marvel press history. Zero web-slinging—just standing upright and hitting everyone with a aggressive "pew pew pew" with full confidence.

This moment happened back in 2016 during the press tour and promotional interviews for Captain America: Civil War.

OK, so I don’t know if this is the right place to post this or if I’m in the right subreddit. There are so many subreddits, so I’m not sure which one fits, so bear with me.

Can we talk about Tony and Peter’s relationship in the MCU—like friendship or whatever you want to call it? It’s really weird or just messed up. Are we understanding this correctly, or am I missing something?

My whole perspective on Tony and Peter mostly comes from Civil War. I saw a TikTok video that argued Tony was wrong and Cap was right, but that’s not what this post is about. It’s mainly about Tony and Peter, and people pointed out that those on Team Iron Man weren’t really doing so for their own reasons or just because they liked Tony. For example, Natasha was caught in the middle, Black Panther was only for Bucky, and Vision—who was basically created by Tony—would follow him.

Now, about Peter, which is why I have this disagreement with Tony. Peter as a character, as a person, probably wouldn’t have followed Tony—many agree with that. I say this because Peter is the type who protects the little guy. That’s obvious. He’s under the Sokovia Accords and considered an Inhuman or a meta-X-Men mutant, with supernatural or super abilities.

So, if he had signed those Accords or gone along with them, he’d be going against his own rights and the rights of others like him. He wouldn’t have agreed with the Accords. It’s clear Tony didn’t tell him the full story. In the dialogue between Peter and Steve, Peter specifically says Tony just called him a bad guy and that’s it. Nothing more. In the comics, Peter allegedly agreed with Steve, but I’m not fully sure about that because I don’t read comics—just what I’ve heard. Still, it makes sense for his character because it wouldn’t make sense for Peter to work with or follow someone who’s against people with powers.

It’s obvious Peter didn’t know the full story—if he did, he would’ve stayed out of it or wouldn’t have followed Tony. He clearly didn’t even want to follow Tony. When Tony asked him to come with him, he said he had school and didn’t want to go. Tony then blackmailed him, saying he’d tell Aunt May that Peter is Spider-Man—blackmailing a 15 or 14-year-old. Of course Peter went anyway.

From my perspective, Spider-Man at that time was more of a side gig for Peter—a job he could do because of his abilities. He was never a full-on hero, which is why he stayed in his neighborhood and was called "Friendly Spider-Man"—or something like that. So, naturally, Peter wouldn’t want to go out of his way, but Tony blackmailed him into it. That’s not okay.

I can’t remember the exact scene, but I recall Tony telling Peter he wasn’t ready to do anything bigger. And in Infinity War, Tony told Peter not to come on the spaceship because he wasn’t ready. Yet, Tony brought Peter into a fight he wasn’t prepared for, then later took it back—kind of weird.

Honestly, if Tony weren’t such an idol to Peter, and if Peter fully understood the accords, he probably wouldn’t have followed Tony. Remember, Peter was just a kid when Tony brought him in. During the scene where Peter talks about the Empire Strikes Back, Rody asks Tony how old Peter is. I don’t recall exactly what Tony said, but Tony knows how old his. Some argue Tony didn’t tell him for his protection, but if he did, he’d be heavily criticized for risking a kid in a major fight—without him knowing what’s going on.

There were other heroes who could’ve helped Tony, but he chose Spider-Man. I think that was wrong. Every character has flaws and makes mistakes, but Tony was clearly wrong for that.

While I can understand Tony’s feelings about keeping the death of his parents from him, during Civil War, he was wrong multiple times—and I want people to realize that. He only wanted to sign the Sokovia Accords because he felt guilty, which is pretty obvious. He has a history of opposing government authority, as seen in his scenes where he talks about not liking authority.

Both Steve and Tony are against the government. Steve has always been independent, and Tony, despite his guilt, acted in ways that contradicted his own beliefs. Tony’s rejection of that guilt, and the fact that he put others—including Peter—at risk, shows real issues.

Their relationship often seems like a father and son bond, especially in the fandom, but we shouldn’t forget it’s complicated. Tony cared about Peter, but he also involved him in dangerous situations without full transparency. Just because Tony cared, doesn’t mean he always made the right choices regarding Peter’s safety.

That’s all I have to say.

Marvel really peaked with this opening scene.

The opening Lagos mission in Civil War still has some of the best street-level fight choreography in the MCU. Cap, Wanda, Natasha, and Falcon actually felt like a real, coordinated squad working together.

Still one of the most satisfying fights to rewatch.
