<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-06-07T19:40:31+00:00“>June 7, 2021 | 3:40pm ET The God of Mischief has captured the hearts, stars, and horseshoes of legend as if they were cardboard-flavored Infinity Stones. In a new corporate crossover sure to be beloved by children and dentists, Marvel has teamed up with General Mills to release a limited-edition Lucky Charms cereal called — you guessed it — Loki Charms. The promotion takes place June 9th, which is the same day that the new series Loki burdens Disney+ with its glorious purpose. That show may have significant ramifications for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the changes to Lucky Charms are only skin deep. While the cereal and marshmallows will remain...
HHW Gaming: ‘Mortal Kombat’ & ‘Injustice’ Studio Working On New Marvel Fighting Game: Report
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 A new Marvel-based fighting game? Made by the same studio that brought us Mortal Kombat 11 and Injustice? WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT. According to the digital grapevine, a new Marvel fighting game is in the works, and NetherRealm Studio is allegedly behind it. If this is indeed the case, it will be the first game since 2017’s Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite and would mean that NetherRealm is not currently working on the follow-up to Injustice 2: Gods Among Us. [embedded content] The report comes from Daniel Richtman (via Stealth Optional) and doesn’t bear much in the form of details, so please take all of this with the tiniest grain of salt while at the same time being excited at the possibility that su...
The Rise of Black Captain America: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Recap, Ep. 6
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Courtesy of Marvel Studios / Disney The final episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has arrived and… SPOILERS AHEAD… …and it starts with Karli rallying her troops after previously locking down the GRC. She comments that “They’re not going to stop, not unless we make them.” Karli puts her plan in motion and she says “It’s time” as the title card rolls. NYPD is locking down the building as Falcon speeds towards lower Manhattan. Bucky is also on scene conversing with Falcon via earpiece. Sam let’s Bucky know he’s called in backup as a mysterious watch-capped figure approaches from behind. We quickly find out it is Sharon Carter in disguise. She is using the same tech as Black Widow in a call back to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. As we’ve seen o...
Captain America 4 Officially in the Works from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Showrunner
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-24T02:15:13+00:00“>April 23, 2021 | 10:15pm ET Marvel is tossing Captain America’s shield onto the big screen once again. The Hollywood Reporter has it that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier head writer and creator Malcolm Spellman is developing Captain America 4. Spellman is co-writing the script with another member of his Disney+ series’ writer’s room, Dalan Musson. Unsurprisingly, Marvel is keeping mum on who will be carrying Cap’s shield in the film. Chris Evans wore the red, white, and blue suit through three solo Captain America films, the last being 2016’s Civil War. He finished his tenure as the hero in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame...
The First Trailer For Marvel’s Martial Arts Super Hero Film ‘Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings’ Has Arrived
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty The star of the upcoming movie Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings, Simu Liu, got one hell of a present on his birthday on Monday (Apr.19), the trailer for the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that will focus on an Asian superhero. Marvel’s Phase Four is looking very promising despite being unleashed in a very unconventional way. The trailer for Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings was a pleasant surprise for Marvel movie fans. It tells the story of Shang-Chi (Simu Liu), who was raised and trained to be an assassin in the Ten Rings organization but decides that is not the life he wants and escapes for a normal life in San Francisco. His past will eventually catch up with him leading him to confront his fa...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-20T19:20:16+00:00“>April 20, 2021 | 3:20pm ET As star-studded as the Marvel Cinematic Universe typically is, the new Disney+ series Secret Invasion looks like it’s coming extra loaded with A-listers. New reports indicate that both Game of Thrones alum Emilia Clarke and The Crown star Olivia Colman are in final talks to join the limited event series (via Variety and The Hollywood Reporter). Unsurprisingly, neither actress’ role is being revealed — after all, it is a secret invasion. The pair will be joining Samuel L. Jackson (reprising his landmark Nick Fury) and Ben Mendelsohn (the Skrull Talos from Captain Marvel) in the series, as well as One Night...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-18T16:30:45+00:00“>April 18, 2021 | 12:30pm ET Alfred Molina has officially confirmed he will be reprising his Doctor Octopus role from 2004’s classic Spider-Man 2 in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: No Way Home. In an interview with Variety that will surely bristle Marvel head Kevin Feige, Molina described his involvement as “the worst kept secret in Hollywood” and detailed how his character fits into the new Tom Holland-starring movie. The veteran actor recalled asking No Way Home director Jon Watts how the film would resurrect Dr. Otto Octavius, who presumably died while stopping his own fusion reactor from destroying New York City ba...
The Red, The White, The Black & The Truth: The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Recap, Episode 5
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Courtesy of Marvel Studios / Disney The penultimate episode of the first season, we would hope, of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier begins with John Walker running away from the carnage he just created with… SPOILERS AHEAD [embedded content] …the murder of Flag Smasher Nico. The death of Lemar clearly weighs heavy on John’s mind, as he paces around an empty warehouse rethinking the choices he made. Walker regains his conviction and composure as he senses Sam and Bucky entering the warehouse. Source: Courtesy of Marvel Studios / Disney Bucky and Sam attempt to talk Walker down, but he isn’t hearing it. In his mind, he has avenged the death of his best friend and the act was righteous. As the blood drips from the shield, they discuss the need for John to s...
We Need to Talk About the Cat in the Loki Trailer
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Captain Marvel. By now, we’re all familiar with the new trailer for Disney+’s next Marvel spinoff series Loki. But what we haven’t talked about enough is its surprise introduction of … a cat. Or, “cat.” As we see in the trailer, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is immediately confronted by a noticeably chill tabby cat upon being released into an office after meeting with Owen Wilson’s Mobius. The cat even begins purring when Loki drops into the adjacent chair. Now, anyone who’s had the good fortune to interact with a cat would find this suspicious: What pet on Earth would be that content when next to an empty bowl, or that calm when a fugitive God of Mischief interrupts their afternoon? But that’s exactly it: They’re not on Earth. Loki is a prisoner of the Time Variance Au...
Marvel’s Black Widow Getting Same Day Release on Disney+ and in Theaters
After more than a year’s delay due to the pandemic, Marvel has finally decided to release Black Widow day-and-date on Disney+ and in theaters on July 9th. The movie will be available as a Premier Access stream, which means Disney+ users will have to pay an additional fee to watch. What’s more, Emma Stone’s live-action 101 Dalmatians prequel Cruella will follow the same distribution plan, coming to Premier Access Disney+ and cinemas on May 28th. Meanwhile, Pixar’s Luca will take the release path laid out by the Oscar-nominated Soul, going directly to streaming at no extra cost to subscribers on June 19th. Disney’s decision to make Black Widow and Cruella available as Premier Access movies comes after what a press statement calls “the successful release” of Raya and The Last Dragon...
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Stumbles Slightly on Takeoff: Review
The Pitch: In the wake of the blip and the events of Avengers: Endgame, Sam Wilson, aka The Falcon (Anthony Mackie), has settled into a modest life of crimefighting with his signature wingsuit. Why isn’t he the new Captain America?, eagle-eyed Endgame viewers might be asking; after all, Old Cap handed him the signature star-spangled shield the last time we saw him. Well, Sam feels uncomfortable with the weight and responsibility of the title — it feels “like someone else’s.” Meanwhile, former Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) is wrestling with his own post-terrorist trauma, struggling to reintegrate into society after ninety years of cryogenically-frozen evildoing. But the two might get drawn back into each other’s orbits with the arrival of a mysterious flash mob...
Avatar Surpasses Avengers: Endgame as Highest-Grossing Film of All Time
In July 2019, Avengers: Endgame surpassed James Cameron’s Avatar as the highest-grossing film in box office history. Now, less than two years later, Avatar is back to reclaim its throne. Earlier this morning, Disney announced that Avatar had retaken the all-time global box office thanks to the film’s recent re-release in China. Avatar is estimated to have a new worldwide gross of $2.802 billion — roughly $5 million more than Avengers: Endgame‘s $2.797 billion, reports Deadline. On Friday, a reissue of the 2009 blockbuster was released in China, which is responsible for bumping up the movie’s overall total haul in less than two days. In a way, that’s par for the course with Avatar. As Deadline notes, Cameron’s movie achieved that milestone with a number of re-releases since its original run...
