Superhero Movies Have Stopped Obsessing Over Origins

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2026-01-19 14:30:37

There’s a repeating theme across 2025’s major superhero movies—Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, Superman, and Fantastic Four: First Steps. All four have interesting, sometimes conflicting relationships with time and how far along their characters are into their superhero tenures, making these movies simultaneous continuations and introductions. Time has always been a key part of superhero movies, and it used to be that their starting points could be whenever a creative team chose

James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Hall of Justice Murals are Filled With Deep-Cut DC History

gizmodo.com Gordon Jackson 2026-01-21 06:00:21

If you saw the new Superman, chances are you caught that brief glimpse of the mural in the Hall of Justice honoring the 300 years of metahuman lore James Gunn’s new DC is founded on. While there’s been speculation about which characters were fleetingly depicted, Gunn has since shared the mural online for fans to pore over themselves and guess accordingly the who’s who of this new DCU. As these are, indeed, some deep-cut characters, we’ve analyzed the data and are at least 75% sure we’ve identif

Nearly five full years after Marvel Studios first planted its flag and announced it was coming, the Fantastic Four finally made their MCU debut this weekend. Given the last tries at bringing these heroes to the big screen, and how Marvel treated those characters back when it didn’t own them, it seemed there wasn’t really anywhere for the Four to go but up. But things have changed in the past five years, and now there’s more pressure than ever for them to stick the landing, particularly since thi

Friday’s Fantastic Four: First Steps reintroduces moviegoers to Galactus, one of the heroes’ biggest (literally) enemies. While comics fans love that he’s actually a giant man this time around and not a cloud, the bigger selling point is that Ralph Ineson, who lent his deep voice and whole body to portray the comics character. Talking to the Hollywood Reporter, Ineson discussed the process of bringing Galactus to giant-sized life. He’d been offered the role by director Matt Shakman, who Ineson

Newly Discovered Gut ‘Sense’ Could Change How We Think About Hunger and Health

There really is something to the concept of having a gut feeling. New research out today suggests our bodies can directly sense and communicate with the many bacteria lining our digestive tract. Scientists at Duke University led the study, published Wednesday in Nature. They found that nerve cells can respond in real time to bacterial signals from the gut—including signals that tell us to curb our appetite.

Kevin Feige Says Mephisto Was Never the Plan for ‘WandaVision’

By the time Mephisto, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, appeared at the end of Ironheart to strike a sinister deal with Riri Williams, it felt almost anticlimactic for Marvel fans. That’s because it was long anticipated that the character would appear on WandaVision, or perhaps, when that didn’t happen, its witchy spin-off Agatha All Along. There were certainly teases about it, but it wasn’t meant to be until Marvel’s most recent series—and that’s according to Kevin Feige himself. As reported by CBR

Natalie Portman's character Nina feels pressure to embody not only the innocent and elegant White Swan but the dark and sensual Black Swan for the leading part in a production of Swan Lake. But she doesn't fit the latter swan's mold as much as newcomer Lily (Mila Kunis). The film follows her obsessive hunt for perfection.

It’s hard to describe what it was like to sit down, 25 years ago today, to watch X-Men. I was born in 1980 and grew up loving and adoring superheroes. The Christopher Reeve Superman movies were everything to me. Posters and toys for Tim Burton’s Batman films were all over my room. And each week, I’d go to the local comic book shop to pick up new issues of X-Men, X-Force, X-O Manowar, Spawn, and so many others. The 1990s in particular were a golden age for comic books, but on the big screen, ther
