As we said earlier today, Marvel Studios press junkets are always a gift of information. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but always informative anytime Kevin Feige is around.

Things are gearing up for the long-awaited Black Widow solo movie over at Marvel Studios, and we may know the working-title for the film.

It’s been a long time coming for fans of Black Widow– a solo film centering around the Avengers team member may start production this summer.

While this should come as zero surprise (plus another step in the right direction), reports are surfacing that Disney is officially looking at female directors to helm their Black Widow solo film. Maybe you’ll recall that the closest Marvel has gotten in their 19-film history (those are the ones that have been released, there’s what, three […]

We’ve made a lot of jokes about how FOX’s Red Sparrow is pretty much the solo Black Widow movie we’ve never gotten, but it really is, in some strange way.  True, the film is based on a book by former CIA operative Jason Matthews that was published in 2014, but seriously.

It’s easy to look at the collection of Marvel Studios releases now and appreciate some examples of the true unsung hero of the film franchise giant: the casting department. Yeah, yeah, we know, not everyone is happy with all the hero and villain casting, but you have to admit, Marvel has had some pretty great […]
