Tom Hiddleston had a great time on the set of the Disney+ series Loki and revealed that he got to work with an amazing crew. Emotionally, Hiddleston is still not over his character as the Greek God of Mischief, but the conclusion of Loki was sort of a significant ending for him. He revealed that the director of the series, Aaron Moorhead, gave him an idea to bring out his best performance in his final scenes.

Hiddleston went through his work over the last 15 years, majorly comprising his MCU roles. Moorhead wanted the Thor actor to carry it with him when he stepped in to film his last scene. Surprisingly, the director’s advice worked out well for the actor who was able to give a heartwarming performance in his final scenes in Loki.

The recent second season of Marvel Studios' Loki concluded on a bittersweet note for the fan-favorite God of Mischief.
Though the season finale appeared to give the former villain a pretty definitive ending by allowing him to fulfil his "Glorious Purpose" and claim a throne - even if it wasn't the one he had originally envisioned - but the door was left open (or at least ajar) for him to return down the line.
After deciding to, for all intents and purposes, sacrifice himself by destroying the Temporal Loom and use his magic to gather all the loose timelines together, Loki essentially transformed into a version of Yggdrasil, the World Tree from Norse mythology.
It's implied that "God Loki" must sit here for eternity to ensure that his friends and everyone else can live in peace on the various timelines, but will this be the last we see of the character?...

If one thing Marvel’s God of Mischief is famous for, it’s his inability to die fully. Loki, due to his evil nature, has been imprisoned, captured, banished, and tortured more than you can imagine. He somehow always finds a way to return, or he most likely faked his death in the first place.
This quality has transferred to the MCU as well, as the character was dead, banished, and resurrected more than any other. In his recent interview with Backstage, Tom Hiddleston the actor behind the iconic trickster explained that his death in 2013 ‘Thor: The Dark World’ was supposed to be his real death and the character would no longer appear in the MCU.
Fortunately, Hiddleston did such a good job playing Loki that audiences could not imagine the MCU without him.

Tom Hiddleston Reveals the Original Plan for His True MCU Death: “I Really Thought That Was the End”
One thing Marvel’s God of Mischief is known for is never really dying. Loki, because of his evil ways, has been imprisoned, captured, banished, and tortured countless times. He always finds a way to come back, or he probably faked his death to begin with.
This trait carried over to the MCU, where the character has died, been banished, and resurrected more than anyone else. In a recent interview with Backstage, Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, explained that his death in 2013’s “Thor: The Dark World” was meant to be his real death, and the character wouldn’t appear in the MCU anymore.
Luckily, Hiddleston did such a great job playing Loki that audiences couldn’t imagine the MCU without him.

While not many would be happy with Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Thor the God of Thunder, fans are certainly happy to have Chris Hemsworth portray the Norse God of Thunder. Despite the character being fierce and formidable in Marvel Comics, Hemsworth’s version has come close to being more grounded and relatable with an ample amount of comic elements.

After directing Thor: The Dark World, filmmaker Alan Taylor moved on to Terminator Genisys. Released in 2015, it's widely considered the worst movie in the sci-fi franchise's storied history. Meant to serve as a reboot, it introduced a new timeline created when Skynet attempted to kill Sarah Connors as a child.
In the movie's big twist, we learned that Skynet had transformed Jason Clarke's John Connor into a Terminator-hybrid. Joining him in the cast were Emilia Clarke as Sarah, Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as a T-800 dubbed "Pops."
Despite being heavily featured in bizarre promo photos, House of the Dragon star Matt Smith made a relatively minor appearance as the advanced T-5000 Terminator who embodies Skynet, and it sounds like shooting his scenes was a bemusing experience for the British actor.

Chris Hemsworth has been in the superhero genre for as long as one can remember, thanks to the iconic role of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that he first donned back in 2011 for his titular movie. And he has been incredibly loyal to it, for one, considering how even a movie like Thor: Love and Thunder didn’t lead him to lash out at the MCU.

But while he is humble enough to act that way, multiple other actors from Marvel are not quite the same, and this fact greatly bothers the Extraction star.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness certainly was a spectacular movie in terms of the amount of CGI it had to use. It turns out that the sequel also cost a lot of money, surpassing the budget of a far superior MCU film.
Forbes reports that Disney finally declared the production cost of Benedict Cumberbatch’s adventure in the Multiverse, which was $414.9 million. Forbes thinks this surpassed Avengers: Age of Ultron‘s budget, but I don’t think that’s right.
In a 2018 article, the publication stated that Avengers 2 cost $495.2 million. Even adjusting for inflation, the Ultron movie would still cost more. Why is the film’s budget now scaled back to $388.3m?
Forbes does not link to the previous story or the financial snapshot it provided in 2018, but I will:
Here’s the new cost chart Forbes uses in the latest article:
Regardless, Doctor Strange 2 was profitable on paper.

Putting any game under the nose of Insomniac’s Spider-Man games for comparison wouldn’t be fair. But some of them, including Fortnite and Marvel Rivals did a better job of portraying the web-slinger in contrast to others according to some fans. The latter game is still in development, but players are considering it the Overwatch 2 killer.
Spider-Man has been a pivotal superhero in the Marvel universe, and his depiction does have a profound effect on fans.

Thor Star Chris Hemsworth Reveals Whether He Shot A Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo After CinemaCon Tease
At this year's CinemaCon, a new Deadpool & Wolverine trailer was shown to attendees. Vague descriptions soon found their way online, including an intriguing exchange between the Merc with the Mouth and the Tva's Mr. Paradox.
In that, Deadpool spotted a monitor showing Thor crying over his fallen body, with Paradox telling Wade Wilson it was something which hadn't happened yet.
At the time, we were left in the dark in terms of whether it was a newly shot scene or edited archival footage. However, ComicBook.com recently caught up with Chris Hemsworth to discuss Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and confirmed the scene was lifted from 2013's Thor: The Dark World (replacing Loki with Deadpool).
"It's really cool," Hemsworth said of the footage being re-used. "You kind of forget and be like, 'Oh, cool! I'm part of the team. They're talking about me!' when I'm not in it.

This is why Iger announced that they will be significantly reducing the output in the future, focusing on 2-3 movies a year and two shows.
Now 16 years in, MCU has 5 phases in total, with Phase 4 being lauded as the absolute worst. This is fair this is where they truly started to pump out content without really thinking about the stories or taking care of their introduced characters.

By now, it’s widely acknowledged that the MCU has encountered a challenging period, notably with the dismal performance of Marvel Studios in 2023, leading Disney to feature on the list of major box-office flops.
Consequently, Iger disclosed plans for a substantial reduction in output, with a shift towards producing only 2-3 movies annually along with two shows.
After 16 years, the MCU spans across 5 phases, with Phase 4 often criticized as the weakest. This criticism is justified, as it marked a period of content saturation without sufficient regard for storytelling or character development. In contrast, Phase 3 is widely acclaimed as the pinnacle, a sentiment affirmed by recent Rotten Tomatoes data.

When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, Marvel Studios regained the Fantastic Four and X-Men. Captain Britain may or may not fall into the latter category, but he's a character we've been waiting to see in the MCU for a long time.
We're pretty sure Brian Braddock has always belonged to Marvel Studios, with only his sister - Betsy Braddock - and a few mutant supporting players likely off-limits before the Disney/Fox merger.
Regardless, a new rumour shared by scooper @MyTimeToShineH claims that a Captain Britain TV series is in the works for Disney+. That's all we have to go on for now, though we'd be shocked if Marvel's MI13 and Excalibur comics don't influence what we see.
There's also no word on a premiere date or the heroes and villains who will take centre stage beyond Captain Britain.

Chris Hemsworth is one of the most respected and well-known faces in Hollywood. Through his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as the Extraction films, he has gained a lot of attention in the film industry. Despite this, there is one fact that is undeniable; he has not been seen in many challenging roles for him as an actor.

While the characters that he played certainly require a huge level of physical dedication, his emotional range has rarely been taken out for a spin by directors. This is a fact that seems to bother the actor, as he spoke about it during a recent interview.

English actor Christopher Eccleston has been a popular name in TV, movies, and stage alike. From playing the 9th incarnation of The Doctor in Doctor Who to playing both Hamlet as well as Macbeth on the stage, Eccleston’s artistry is admirable.

Eccleston, though he usually prefers to avoid big budget productions, was part of two pretty big franchises in his career. One was the 2009 movie, G. I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, and the other was the MCU’s Thor: The Dark World in 2011. Unfortunately, the actor hated being a part of both these films.

Christopher Eccleston played the main antagonist, Malekith, in Thor: The Dark World. The movie in itself was one of Marvel’s least liked productions. And the character of Malekith was one of the most underdeveloped, with almost no background story to give it more depth.

For most directors, the art of filmmaking is an experience worth its weight in creative calories. For Alan Taylor, it was instead a harrowing one better left forgotten or chalked up as a bad dream. In hindsight, Thor: The Dark World wasn’t just a director’s worst nightmare but an agonizing ordeal for the audience who had to suffer through 112 minutes of a rotten piece of film that had no business existing within the realm of cinema.
Thor: The Dark World [Credit: Marvel Studios]In the later years, Taylor himself picked apart his Marvel project, proving there was no love lost between him and the Nordic God. But even Chris Hemsworth’s best efforts to preserve the sanctity of his leading role and Tom Hiddleston lending his Shakespearean expertise to the film’s drab plot couldn’t help make the final product any less painful for the Marvel fans.

Captain America: Civil War is considered to be one of the best films the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had to offer. Keeping the storyline aside, such intense love for the film came because fans got to see their favorite Marvel superheroes together on the screen. The airport fight scene is still one of the fandom’s favorites! However, Chris Hemsworth was clearly missing from the party.

He came to the conclusion that Thor was being kicked out of the superhero universe and decided to confront the higher-ups about the fiasco.

This year’s CinemaCon has been great. Marvel Studios presented clips from various upcoming projects, including an exclusive 9-minute preview of the next movie.
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is highly anticipated as the only MCU film slated for release this year. There’s a lot riding on it for the studio, aiming to regain fans’ trust and pave the way for something big with Deadpool.
This is what the CinemaCon attendees watched yesterday. The footage showed Wade Wilson, now working as a car salesman, alongside his X-Force buddy Peter, who’s holding onto Deadpool’s old costume, suggesting a return to superhero antics. At a surprise birthday bash, familiar X-Men characters like Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead make appearances. Wade’s relationship with Vanessa is shown as friendly but no longer romantic, as they’ve split up.
During the party, the Tva interrupts and transports Wade to meet Mr. Paradox, offering...

Kevin Feige was part of the infamous Marvel Creative Committee (McC) in the early stages of the MCU and played a crucial role in preventing the committee from ruining Captain America. According to reports, Feige and Louis D’Esposito vehemently opposed the committee’s idea to set the character in modern times. There were screaming matches during meetings of the McC, with Feige emerging successful and giving us the period piece, Captain America: The First Avenger.

According to the book MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios, the McC consisted of Dan Buckley, Joe Quesada, Brian Michael Bendis, Louis D’Esposito, Kevin Feige, and Alan Fine. The book suggested that most of the unpopular and toxic opinions came from Alan Fine, who was the Dwight to Ike Perlmutter’s Michael.

Joe Simon and Jack Kirby created Captain America in 1940 as a symbol of American propaganda. Enhanced by a powerful steroid, Steve Rogers was given over to the American military, given a colorful, American flag costume, and ordered to pummel Nazis. Indeed, on the cover of "Captain America Comics" #1, Steve can be seen punching Adolf Hitler in the face. After WWII ended, Captain America has been adrift in Marvel Comics, only finding usefulness as the leader of a ragtag group of other superbeings. It's astonishing how successful the character has been in the last 60 years or so, given that he clearly exists as a still-living relic of the Greatest Generation.
In 1944, Captain America first appeared in cinemas as the star of a 15-part Republic Pictures serial starring Dick Purcell. The character was altered dramatically for the serial, however. Instead of a weakling soldier named Steve Roger enhanced by steroids, Captain American...

The ‘unremarkable sequel’ was something the Marvel Cinematic Universe found difficult to shake off in its initial phases. Thinking back to films like Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World could bring back memories of botched character arcs and poor commercial and critical scores. However, all that changed when Anthony and Joe Russo presented their Captain America sequel to the world, leaving the MCU worse than they found it if recent criticisms are to be believed.

By no means is Captain America: The Winter Soldier, now 10 years old, a bad film. Not only did the film break the sequel curse for the MCU, but it was also a solidly directed film, with an airtight script and a characterization of Captain America that changed a lot of people’s perspective of the character, especially after his outings in Captain America: The First Avenger...

It began with 2008’s “Iron Man,” a film that introduced the world to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark with the hint that he could be part of something greater. Thirty-two films later, the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still being told, albeit with various tributaries and detours that introduce new characters and new worlds that may or may not cross paths one day. Each film in the MCU stands on its own to some degree, but like building blocks, they all connect as part of one interconnected universe. And in that way, watching the Marvel movies in order tells one grand story.
There are a couple of different ways to watch the Marvel movies in order, but below we run down how to watch the MCU in chronological and release date order. Indeed, some films like “Captain Marvel” and “Captain America: The First Avenger” are full-on prequels...

When you think of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you might not think of improvisation as being central to its success. In fact, extemporaneous additions seem like the complete opposite of Kevin Feige's approach to establishing his gargantuan blockbuster franchise. The Marvel Studios head and his cohorts meticulously plan out each so-called "phase" of the MCU, carefully charting a course for their cinematic saga ahead of time.
Recently, however, this approach hasn't worked so well, with Feige and co. bombarding us with Marvel media, ultimately proving that too much of the MCU is essentially the franchise's Kryptonite. But for a long time, the plan was very much working. The Marvel machine was churning out hit after hit, with "Avengers: Endgame" and its record-breaking box office marking the apex of Marvel Studios' success. In that sense, deviating from the plan just doesn't seem to fit with the MCU ethos. But improvisation...
