Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Captain Marvel. 

So you’ve just seen Captain Marvel. And you even stayed all the way through the end credits like a good Marvel fan. But you maybe need a bit of help parsing what exactly those two scenes at the very end were about.

Well, you’ve come to the right place. Without further ado, here’s what happens in the end credits of Captain Marvel – and what it might mean for Avengers: Endgame and more.

What happens: We’re in the post-Infinity War days, as evidenced by a ten-figure “global missing” count on the wall of an Avengers facility. In a corner, Captain Marvel’s beeper (which she left with Nick Fury at the end of her movie) is beeping, until suddenly it’s not. Read more…

Badass Captain Marvel Cats Goose Ranked

In honor of ‘Captain Marvel,’ we ranked the 9 most badass cats in cinematic history

Captain Marvel may have a kickass female hero, two new alien races, and the solution to all of our Infinity War problems — but as any rational, totally objective cat lover can tell you, this multi-million dollar tentpole is mostly (if not entirely) about Goose the cat.

Carol Danvers’ feline companion (who’s like trying to not outshine her, but also can’t hold back his star power?) marks the first starring role for a cat in the MCU. This landmark appearance continues a long legacy of on-screen kitty-cat greatness, and as such we thought it fitting to look back on the rich history of badass cats in film. Read more…

Revisiting the superhero films of the ’90s

We are currently living in the golden age of superhero movies. Every few months, a new one arrives in theaters and dominates the zeitgeist for a few weeks before hype (or dread) starts to build for the next film.

Captain Marvel, the latest movie in Marvel’s decade-long streak, is the first in the modern era to take us back into the 1990s, a time before caped crusaders took up such a sizable chunk of the movie and television market.

In anticipation of seeing Carol Danvers tear shit up at the end of the 20th century, I went back and revisited a whole bunch of superhero movies from the ‘90s to examine what the world of superheroes looked like before Marvel and DC built up their own interconnected film dynasties. Read more…

Technically, Captain Marvel is the lead of Captain Marvel. But for the cat lovers out there, it’ll be Goose who emerges as the real star of the show.

The orange tabby first popped up in the Captain Marvel teaser poster before making her way into the trailers, into her own character poster, and – naturally – into our hearts. Here’s everything you’ll want to know about Goose ahead of Captain Marvel. 

Yes, Goose is from the comics

‘Captain Marvel’ feels at once fresh and familiar

Captain Marvel unambiguously represents a fresh new face for the Marvel Cinematic Universe — she is, as you’ve surely heard by now, the franchise’s first solo female movie lead.

Yet Captain Marvel, the movie surrounding her, feels, for better or for worse, like so much of what has come before it.

The tone strikes that familiar mix of earnest heroism and relatable humor. The action sequences rely less on clever choreography and camerawork than on shiny CG and emotional resonance. Much of the plot hinges on twists we’ve seen in other Marvel movies. 

And despite the intergalactic premise and period setting — Captain Marvel a.k.a. Carol Danvers, played by Brie Larson, starts out as an alien soldier in the 1990s — the sets largely resemble that nondescript airplane hangar from Captain America: Civil War.  Read more…

It’s not every day an extraterrestrial super-soldier touches down on our planet – so when one does, it seems only appropriate to give her a proper Terran welcome.

Captain Marvel had its premiere in Hollywood Monday evening, closing down Hollywood Blvd. from Orange to Highland. Inside the white tents, all was crimson red, royal blue, and yellow gold – Carol Danvers’ signature colors.

There was all the usual excitement we’ve come to expect from splashy Disney premieres, including glammed-up stars, eager fans, and photo-opp-friendly props. Just look at that sweet jet behind star Lashana Lynch below: Read more…

Nick Fury has always been the true center of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

When Nick Fury stepped out of the shadows in the post-credit scene of 2008’s Iron Man, his words portended a seismic change in the world of entertainment.

“You think you’re the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you’ve become part of a bigger universe. You just don’t know it yet.”

That bigger universe in the context of Iron Man was the Avengers Initiative, Fury’s brainchild born of anxiety over the fate of humanity in a world where superpowered humans and extraterrestrial threats required Earth’s mightiest heroes fighting under one banner. In a meta sense it was the beginning of the interconnected MCU, which ten years and fifteen billion dollars later is the single highest-grossing film franchise of all time.  Read more…
