Secret Invasion wrapped up last week, ending as sloppily as it began. But despite the show’s faults, several intriguing concepts were rapidly introduced in its closing minutes that could leave a lasting impact on the MCU.

Read MorePhase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was all about new beginnings, individual stories, and expanding the horizons of the MCU further than ever before.

As the MCU further explores the Multiverse
Read MoreWe’ve been keeping our ears to the ground here at The Cosmic Circus and have an interesting update about the upcoming Thunderbolts production which is expected to begin filming in June. The film brings together a rag-tag team of Marvel characters, reminiscent of the Avengers. The cast that Marvel Studios has gathered for Thunderbolts is heavy with talent. Not only will
Read MoreMarvel Studios is known to film extensively in the Georgia area, but later this year the comic movie powerhouse is taking their production on the road, with plans to film in Washington.

Read MoreMarvel Studios tried something new in 2022 with the introduction of Special Presentations as a new medium for storytelling. Special Presentations are like mini-movies on Disney+, similar in fashion to the one-shots utilized in the early phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Read MoreWith the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Marvel Studios Phase 5 has only just begun. We’ve got another five films and seven Disney+ series coming our way over the next two years. I’m pretty excited for Phase 5 overall since it’s easy to see stories coming together as we set the stage for the next two Avengers films. But
Read MoreFrom a team lineup that consists of mostly super-soldiers to the absence of popular comic mainstays like Zemo and Songbird, fans have a few concerns about Marvel’s Thunderbolts.

The way he operates in
Read MorePhase 4 of the MCU has been criticized for its seeming lack of a clear plan and little crossover between individual projects. Yes, everything is building towards two massive Avengers movies, but what about the smaller crossovers in between? Phase 4 may be like Phase 1 in the sense that it’s laying the groundwork for The Multiverse Saga, but it still
Read MoreWhen Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced Thunderbolts at San Diego Comic-Con in July it instantly became my most anticipated Phase 5 film. I know the team lineup isn’t what many fans wanted. Yes, it’s dumb that everyone has similar abilities – but I love it!
