CinemaCon 2025 – which took place from March 31, to April 3 – is a special, annual event where major Hollywood actors, producers and other industry professionals gather to present their upcoming projects. This varies from films, trailers and exclusive new footage.

Critics were not lying when they said “Thunderbolts*” is the best Marvel movie since “Avengers: Endgame.” This installment blows every Marvel movie from the past few years out of the water and fans are finally confident in saying Marvel is “so back.” The movie perfectly balances action, humor and emotional scenes and is engaging from start to finish. 

 Seven years after Netflix pulled the plug on the original “Daredevil” series, “Daredevil: Born Again” marks the long-awaited return of the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.  Although officially labeled as a “Season 1,” this revival functions more like a spiritual fourth season, continuing the gritty legacy fans have held onto since its abrupt cancellation. This might be Marvel Studios' most brutal outing yet, delivering intense violence alongside compelling narratives of loss, abandonment and inner conflict. Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio slip seamlessly back into their iconic roles as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, commanding every scene they’re in. At its best, this season reaches the heights of the original run, giving longtime fans the payoff they’ve been waiting for. Still, it’s not without flaws. Its biggest struggle is a clear identity crisis over whether to embrace the past three seasons or leave them behind entirely. 

   In the early 2020s, the television (TV) industry seemed like it was preparing for a mass exodus of most of its flagship titles. Prestigious and influential masterpieces such as “Better Call Saul,” “Succession,” “Atlanta” and “Attack on Titan” all saw their beloved, years-long story arcs come to highly anticipated ends. Coinciding with a heavy production backlog due to the pandemic and strike-related issues, it seemed that after the last of these shows ended, audiences and creatives alike would struggle to find themselves enjoying the luxuries of so-called “peak TV.” Despite all these hurdles, we have fortunately been graced with a considerable influx of high-quality and irresistible series that seem to be paving the way for the next phase of television.

SPOILER ALERT    Marvel is hit or miss with their movies nowadays, so it makes sense that audiences were not exactly eager to see “Captain America: Brave New World.” This is the first Captain America film that does not star Chris Evans as the titular character. Instead, Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson, steps into the role for the first time since he was passed down the torch in “Avengers: Endgame.”

The popular Marvel Studios series “Loki” has returned with its second season, released on Disney+ on Thursday, Oct. 5. The new season is a direct continuation of the events from the finale of Season 1, which ended with Loki and Sylvie encountering “he who remains,” who was revealed to be a variant of Kang the Conqueror, the current main villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Season 1 was praised for its well-paced episodes, fluid writing and stellar performances by both Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston.

The first “Black Panther” movie, released back in 2018, undoubtedly left its mark on the superhero movie industry, claiming many firsts, such as being a big-budget superhero movie with a Black hero, director and a majority Black cast

It’s 2012, and the very first “Avengers” franchise film just released in theaters. Marvel fans have finally received the film they’ve been wanting for decades. The critics’ reception of the film was excellent, and the general public knew that a sequel was the natural next step in the world of Marvel superhero films. However, it’s safe to say that no Marvel fan knew just how hugely oversaturated the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) would become in the ensuing years.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a franchise known for its iconic characters and breathtaking moments that have highlighted each movie.

The newest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), “Eternals,” premiered this past weekend, and while it contained many firsts, it had some critics and viewers feeling as if the film’s runtime was “eternal.”

“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” Marvel’s first film starring a predominantly Asian cast, faced obstacles to its success before the movie even hit the theaters. One hurdle, fans noted, was Marvel’s apparent lack of “Shang-Chi” promotions compared to other films. This issue was enforced by the fact that Disney CEO Bob Chapek dubbed its release strategy “an interesting experiment,” a comment which sparked backlash from audience members and cast members alike.
