Deadpool Sort of Kind of Enters the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Korg Crossover: Watch
Ever since Disney purchased 20th Century Fox back in 2019, fans have been waiting for Deadpool to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’ve long known that such a multiverse merger was in the works, but we never would have expected it to happen like this. The Merc with a Mouth has officially had his first MCU crossover in an appropriately meta preview of Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi’s new film Free Guy. See, Reynolds portrays Deadpool in that character’s film series, and Waititi directed Thor: Ragnarok and starred in both that film and Avengers: Endgame as the alien rock creature Korg. Now in Free Guy, Reynolds plays a video game background character who realizes he’s a digital creation, and Waititi plays the movie’s villain, the publisher behind the game. Free ...

Or if Gamora took on the mantle of Thanos? Or if Tony Stark was saved from getting shrapnel in his chest… by Killmonger? All these strange possibilities will get the chance to play out in What If…? as the omnipotent alien The Watcher (voiced by Jeffrey Wright) guides us through the endless timelines. This is more than just a fun divergence from the “sacred timeline,...
Blade’s Stephen Dorff Slams Marvel Movies, Says Black Widow “Looks Like Garbage”
Marvel may be at the top of the food chain in terms of superhero cinema, but for one former star, they’re just cattle. Stephen Dorff, who played villain Deacon Frost in 1998’s Blade, has criticized the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in particular throwing shade at the upcoming Black Widow for looking “like a bad video game.” Speaking with the UK’s Independent about his new film, Embattled, Dorff was asked about what roles he looks for in modern Hollywood. The actor took that as a prompt to bash the company that elevated his career by making him the star of one of the first successful post-Batman comic book adaptations. “I still hunt out the good shit because I don’t want to be in Black Widow,” said Dorff, continuing, “It looks like garbage to me. It looks like a bad video g...

This feature originally ran in April 2015 and will be periodically updated and re-published with the latest Marvel releases. Welcome to Dissected, where we disassemble a band’s catalog, a director’s filmography, or some other critical pop-culture collection in the abstract. It’s exact science by way of a few beers. This time, we sort through the best and worst of Marvel’s seemingly never-ending cinematic universe. Have a quick glance at this: Related Video That was April 2006.

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.

[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...
