The MCU’s Phase 4 was supposed to kick off in less than a month with the release of Black Widow. But with the coronavirus epidemic shutting down theaters around the globe, Disney pushed the movie’s debut back.

Robert Downey Jr. celebrated his 55th birthday this past Saturday, and you can bet that a TON of tributes poured in for the Iron Man actor from the likes of Morgan Stark, Pepper Potts and even Thanos! (The actors, of course.)

When fans first glimpsed the bombastic blockbuster glory that was Avengers: Infinity War they were immediately shocked. A number of high-profile deaths occurred in the flick’s opening moments, including fan favorite Loki, the God of Mischief. Moviegoers thought this was the end for the Asgardian-adopted frost giant, but Loki will be returning in his self-titled Disney+ television series.

It’s probably safe to say that almost everyone has imagined what it would be like to be Spider-Man. Recently, an actor who is famous for playing another iconic character from pop culture admitted that as a child, he always wanted to play Spider-Man.

Though March Madness, college basketball’s national championship tournament, has been cancelled this year, we thought it would fun to present an imaginary MCU bracket that pits Marvel’s surviving heroes against one another. The first round is complete, and now it’s time for the Avenging 8!

David Harbour is no stranger to big budget geek-centric entertainment. Not only does he play Sheriff Jim Hopper in Stranger Things, but he also portrays the title character in the 2019 Hellboy reboot. The versatile actor is about to add to that very nerdy resume because he’s starring in the upcoming Marvel Studios production of Black Widow!

Looking for some news to cheer you up? Hopefully this will do it: Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man will hit Hulu on April 1. And no, that’s not an early April Fool’s Day joke!

Last month, we reported on some pieces of concept art for Avengers: Infinity War that showed Doctor Strange wearing Tony Stark’s Iron Man armor. According to filmmaker Kevin Smith, this scene was not just concept art but was actually shot for the film!

When Doctor Strange debuted back in 2016 it introduced very new concepts to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Up until that point, magic and mysticism had for the most part been explained away in the Thor films as alien science that was beyond the understanding of mankind.

The events of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame were an emotional punch to MCU fans, especially seeing so many beloved characters perish. Black Widow’s demise was particularly moving, as she ended up sacrificing herself for the Soul Stone.
