Who is the leader of the Young Avengers?

Who is the leader of the Young Avengers?

People, its finally happening.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Marvels.

For years, fans of the Young Avengers have been clamoring for any sign — beyond the gradual introduction of its members — that the team was set to enter the MCU. We thought we’d get it in Hawkeye. Then, we thought maybe it would come about with Ms. Marvel or Quantumania. Each of these releases did contain at least one member of the Young Avengers lineup — as did several others — but none of them laid down any concrete hints that the team would ever be formed.

Until now. The final moments of The Marvels finally gave us what we’ve been waiting for, with the clear introduction of the Young Avengers. Or maybe the Champions, but that’s beside the point. No matter what its called, a team of youthful superheroes is poised to enter the MCU, and we couldn’t be more excited to greet them. The way their formation began is definitely a touch different from the version in Marvel comics, and it leads to an ever-necessary question: Who is usually the leader of the Young Avengers, and will they remain in charge in the MCU’s take on the team?

Marvel fans have seen almost every original member of the Young Avengers introduced over the last several years. The only one missing, as of now, is Teddy, and he might end up replaced by Skaar anyway. As it stands, the Young Avengers clearly make the most sense as the MCU’s official superjunior team.

That being said, its far from Marvel’s only youthful team. There are plenty to pick from, over decades of Marvel history — some of which already have spin-offs of their own — but the only other real contender for the MCU is the Champions, a team that just so happens to be led by one Kamala Khan.

The Young Avengers, however — a team that original consists of Kate Bishop, Eli Bradley, Tommy and Billy Maximoff, Cassie Lang, Teddy Altman, and Iron Lad — simply makes the most sense for the MCU. The franchise has been dropping breadcrumbs for years now, and those finally seem to be paying off.

In comics canon, the original leader of the Young Avengers is Iron Lad, a Kang variant who travels back in time in hopes of changing his blood-soaked future. If the MCU were to maintain this storyline, it could present some very interesting potentials for those future Kang storylines, particularly where Jonathan Majors is concerned.

Even if the MCU goes in another direction, however, it has plenty of options. Following Iron Lad’s departure, leadership of the Young Avengers passes on to Kate and Eli. They bicker over their leadership positions initially, but eventually the two make a perfect team. Other members of the squad have taken on leadership positions over the years, but back when it started Kate and Eli helped guide the team into proper superheroes.

Who will lead the Young Avengers in the MCU?

The MCU and Marvel comics are not the same thing, which often leads to pretty massive gaps between the original comics and their resulting live-action counterparts. Kamala boasts a different power-set, certain characters have different backgrounds, which ultimately means that we can’t expect a carbon copy of the comics we know and love. Hopefully the MCU will use them as inspiration to make something else we love.

Which throws the eventual leadership of the Young Avengers into question. As do the final moments of The Marvels, which saw Kamala Khan approach Kate Bishop about forming their own superhero team. This is already a massive departure from the comics, which saw Iron Lad form the team, and seems to place Kamala in a leadership role. Given her youth, however, particularly compared to Kate’s, I’d still argue that Kate will become the eventual leader of the Young Avengers.

That all hinges on what happens next, however. We still don’t know who the other members of the team will be, but it feels safe to assume that at least Kamala, Kate, America Chavez, the Maximoff twins, Cassie Lang, and Eli Bradley will eventually join. There are some hurdles to surpass before the Maximoff twins can join up, and let’s not even dig into the whole Loki situation, but their eventual acceptance onto the team feels assured. How everything will come to pass is still a mystery, as is pretty much everything else. Will the team make their debut in a Disney Plus series? In a film? As a side-note in another major MCU release? We still have no idea, but with official confirmation, theories are running rampant.

What is the ‘Earth 616 adjacent realm’ mentioned in the ‘Loki’ season 2 finale?

What is the ‘Earth 616 adjacent realm’ mentioned in the ‘Loki’ season 2 finale?

The second season of Loki is in the books, seemingly putting an end to the story of Tom Hiddleston’s Norse god of mischief, cheekbones, and very large hats. 

In the closing moments of the finale, “Glorious Purpose,” fans are treated to a glimpse of a kinder, gentler Time Variance Authority – one where everyone is valued, regardless of whether or not they’re a horny killer robot. It’s a more relaxed workplace, but it’s still a workplace, and there’s business to attend to. When the subject of He Who Remains variants comes up, we learn that there was some hubbub from one such rabble rouser in an “Earth-616 adjacent realm.” 

If that sounds ominous, you don’t know the half of it: The team is referring to Kang the Conqueror – more specifically, the Kang the Conqueror from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. See? Quantumania factors into this. I told you things were going to be rough.

The “Earth-616 adjacent realm” that they’re talking about is the Quantum Realm, a sort of extra-extra-extra-small pocket universe dangling off the side of the world of the MCU, like a skin tag made out of reality and almost-finished CGI. Fans of Quantumania will already be aware that the movie’s main antagonist was another Kang variant. This one had a similar goal to the one that He Who Remains loved so much: Keeping all of the other Kangs minding their own business. He’d been banished to the Quantum Realm by all of his other selves, on account of how he was the best and coolest Kang. The King Kang. They were probably just jealous.

The death of Quantumania’s Kang at the end of the movie sure seemed like it was designed to incite a full-on multiversal Kang uprising – the sort of thing that He Who Remains kept saying would end the whole multiverse. A mid-credits scene even featured a cavalcade of Kang variants like Immortus and Rama Tut filling up a Kang stadium, practicing all of their silliest voices, and champing at the bit for some good, old-fashioned conquering. Based on the end of Loki, though, it seems like everything is chill now. Maybe Loki fixed everything by making time into a tree. Maybe Kang’s gonna Kang, and he’s still out there in the ether, cackling quietly to himself because this was all part of the plan all along. Maybe, in light of recent events, Marvel Studios is nonchalantly whistling and backing away from any plots featuring load-bearing Johnathan Majors. Time will tell.

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ facing 5 months of reshoots and a 7 month delay is the worst thing for the film but the best thing for the MCU

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ facing 5 months of reshoots and a 7 month delay is the worst thing for the film but the best thing for the MCU

We’re entering a brave new world where, in a strange way, Marvel is becoming the underdog. Or, at least, the era-defining success of the past decade and a half is no longer guaranteed. So, on the one hand, news of Captain America: Brave New World getting delayed and potentially reshot from top to bottom isn’t an encouraging sign. And yet it might be best for the MCU overall.

Following the resuming of Hollywood productions post-the SAG-AFTRA deal, Marvel has switched up its upcoming slate yet again. Just in front of Thunderbolts shifting from December 2024 to July 2025, Captain America 4 is the worst hit by the delays, as it’s now moving from July 2024 to February 2025. This was surprising to hear as we thought all was dandy on the Brave New World front, thanks to filming wrapping prior to the strikes taking effect.

Unfortunately, further reported intel indicates that this is yet another project Marvel is concerned about and it’s due to go back before camera for some significant reshoots. And I do mean significant. If you believe the chatter, three major scenes will be removed and replaced in a five-month reshoots period happening from January 2024 to May. Clearly, things are not going as smoothly as hoped for the second Sentinel of Liberty’s first solo outing.

However, while this is terrible for Anthony Mackie’s movie, it might actually be exactly what the MCU needs. You see, with Cap 4 pushed in 2025, this means that Marvel Studios is releasing just one movie in 2024, with Deadpool 3 coming in the summer. The last time this happened was in 2020, with Black Widow, but next year’s situation is perhaps the exact opposite of that occasion.

The Marvel drought of 2020 was atrocious for the company as it meant it had to slow down just when it needed to keep up the momentum post-Avengers: Endgame. This time, though, everyone’s suffering from serious MCU indigestion and a bit of a diet from the franchise is surely what the doctor would order. Deadpool 3 looks to be a big event movie, so it should hopefully do its job of keeping the MCU hype alive, but otherwise we — both the audience and the creatives — can take some time to recharge our batteries and come back in 2025 ready to be wowed, and to wow, again.

What is the Deadpool Corps and will they appear in ‘Deadpool 3?’

What is the Deadpool Corps and will they appear in ‘Deadpool 3?’

How many Deadpools is too many?

Trick question — there can never be too many Deadpools. That’s easily proven by the Deadpool Corps, a team of capable, but very weird, killers Marvel introduced back in the early 2010s. Only a few issues following the team were ever released, but they are among the most entertaining Deadpool comics out there. It’s hard to compete with Wade’s flirtation with death or that one time he exchanged fisticuffs with a bunch of dead presidents, of course, but Deadpool Corps still gives those wacky storylines a run for their money.

What is the Deadpool Corps?

Deadpool Corps

Marvel has put out some strange offerings over the years, but the most successful is inarguably Deadpool. He isn’t nearly as wild as the insanely powerful Doop, nor does he boast the crazy powers of the Living Eraser, but Deadpool hits that sweet spot between impossibly weird and exhaustingly normal. He’s odd, more than a little bit insane, but he’s ours.

He’s also not the only Deadpool out there. As the MCU has taught us well, an array of different worlds exist out there, all of which boast alternate versions of the people who exist in ours. The multiverse is a broad and almost impossibly complex concept, but within it a million possibilities exist. Possibilities like the Deadpool Corps, a team of Deadpools hand-selected from an array of different universes.

There’s Deadpool himself, the OG, who we’ve seen star in two live-action films of his own, and hails from Earth-616. Initially, he’s only joined in his happy, insane little crew by a few alternate versions of himself, which include Ladypool, a female Deadpool named Wanda Wilson from Earth-3010; Kidpool, a youthful version of the Merc with a Mouth from Earth-10330; Dogpool, a mutated Deadpool dog from Earth-103173, and Headpool, the disembodied zombie head of Deadpool from Earth-2149.

Eventually, the team grew significantly larger, and added in the likes of Deadpool Pulp, an Earth-10310 version of Deadpool who is also a CIA agent (but don’t worry, he’s still insane); Pandapool, who I shouldn’t even have to describe at this point; Golden Age Deadpool, an old school take on the Regenerating Degenerate from Earth-TRN245, and Mimepool, a mime Deadpool from Earth-20110.

They’re joined by several more DPs, of gradually increasing absurdity. Motorpool, Beard of Beespool, Squirrelpool, Grootpool (yep, that Groot), Knightpool, the absurdly named Hawkeyepool, Chibipool, and, of course, Watari (Ronin-pool) all eventually join their red and black adorned brethren in combat, but very few alternate versions of Deadpool remain alive in current Marvel canon.

Could the Deadpool Corps be in Deadpool 3?

With so little information out about the film so far, it’s hard to know if the Deadpool Corps will make its debut in Deadpool 3. With all the multiversal shenanigans going on in the MCU, however, it’s only a matter of time before the team makes its big entrance.

Particularly if Deadpool maintains the popularity he boasted across his first two appearances, both of which maintain high scores from audiences and critics alike. Should our favorite merc become a new leading force, the eventual appearance of the Deadpool Corps is all but guaranteed.

As for Deadpool 3? Once we manage to get our greedy hands on a bit more information about the film, we’ll be able to give a better estimate. My instincts tell me not to count anything out — this is Deadpool, after all — and, as such, I’ll be hanging onto hopes that the MCU masses will get their intro to a very odd team, very soon.

Who voices Anxiety in ‘Inside Out 2?’

Pixar is releasing a second installment of a beloved movie, and they’re calling it Inside Out 2. With the new film comes a new character for the cast inside of Riley’s mind, with a Stranger Things alum as the voice.

The first Inside Out film featured tons of stars for the voice cast, such as Phyllis Smith from The Office as Sadness, and Tony Hale from Arrested Development as Fear. It’s no surprise that the sequel to the Pixar film would showcase some more talent for its additional cast. A fresh face in Inside Out 2 is more than welcome, but who is this new voice actor gracing the big screen?

Who is the voice of Anxiety for Inside Out 2?

With the release of the first trailer for the sequel to the Inside Out series, we’re also shown a new main character taking partial control of Riley’s mind. Anxiety, the latest addition to the range of emotions in Inside Out 2, introduces themselves as Anxiety. Orange and disorganized in appearance, Anxiety is emblematic of the messy emotions of feeling overwhelmed and worried, especially as a young teenager. The new character of Anxiety is voiced by Maya Hawke.

What else has Maya Hawke appeared in?

Maya Hawke is the child of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, and is well known for her acting. Hawke is even starring in her own father’s movie, WildCat, which shows the life of writer Flannery O’Connor. She is most famous for her portrayal of Robin Buckley in the Netflix sci-fi TV series Stranger Things. Her fame only continued with the soon-to-be cult classic film Do Revenge where she starred alongside Camila Mendes. Other appearances of Hawke can be seen in Asteroid City, the 2017 version of Little Women, Fear Street: Part One -1994, and The Kill Room.

Does that heavily rumored X-Men icon really have a cameo in ‘The Marvels?’

Does that heavily rumored X-Men icon really have a cameo in ‘The Marvels?’

Warning: This article contains major The Marvels spoilers.

You have to hand it to Marvel Studios. In the face of dwindling interest in The Marvels ahead of its release, the movie’s promotion really kicked up a gear and promised that all kinds of unmissable surprises were waiting in its deceptively short runtime. So naturally fans got carried away with themselves.

Thanks to none-too-subtle teases, all expectations were suddenly pivoted to anticipating The Marvels to be a surprise key chapter in the ongoing evolution of the MCU’s X-Men. We already know that legacy stars from Fox’s X-Men universe will appear in Deadpool 3, so it didn’t take much to get folks convinced that at least one former X-icon could cameo opposite Brie Larson and company in the new movie.

Specifically, thanks to a shot of a Black woman in a white superhero costume striding past Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau, with a blanket falling off their shoulders looking like a cape, everyone started to wonder: is Storm in The Marvels? Well, wonder no more as here is your answer.

Does Halle Berry cameo as Storm in The Marvels?

No, Storm does not appear in The Marvels. However, fans were right to suspect that the woman in the white super-suit was someone of significance as they are indeed a character we already know well from the MCU’s past. Well, to be more specific, a new variant of them.

As was another common, more plausible, theory, the white-suited woman is Binary, the Captain Marvel variant from the comics, who is revealed to be another version of Maria Rambeau, Monica’s mother, from another reality. Lashana Lynch reprises her role, following on from her appearances as Earth-616’s Maria in Captain Marvel and the Earth-838 incarnation in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

As for where this Maria hails from, it’s confirmed to be… Fox’s X-Men universe! Yes, we do get an X-Men cameo, just not in the form of Halle Berry but one of her X-Men: The Last Stand co-stars. And it’s sure to be one that won’t leave any old-school Fox fans feeling blue.

Can Deadpool teleport? The Merc with a Mouth’s powers, explained

Can Deadpool teleport? The Merc with a Mouth’s powers, explained

Deadpool has a pretty long list of cool powers, his most notable being his regenerative healing factor, which is pretty much the same as Wolverine’s power. On top of that, he has a bunch of other cool abilities including super strength, super agility, and probably the most powerful one of all, the ability to break the fourth wall. But can he teleport?

The big screen adaptation of The Merc with a Mouth’s has seen him make use of most of his known abilities so far, but his comic counterpart has another trick up his sleeve that hasn’t really been touched on yet. For a while in the comics, Deadpool had the ability to teleport; it’s like the writers decided he wasn’t already overpowered enough, and decided to throw in another superpower for good measure.

However, it’s not entirely accurate to say that this is one of Deadpool’s abilities, as he actually uses a teleportation belt. So whilst he is seen teleporting in the comics from time to time, this isn’t one of his in-built powers. Eventually he stopped using the teleportation device due to it malfunctioning and practically shredding his skin and muscle off. That’s the in universe explanation as to why he stopped, anyway; in reality, the writers probably realized the anti-hero was hogging all the cool superpowers.

We have seen Deadpool’s teleportation ability outside of the comics a few times. In the Deadpool game from 2013 (a severely overlooked superhero game, in my opinion), we get to mess around with his full arsenal of abilities, including teleportation. 

Has Deadpool ever had these powers on the big screen?

He did also have the teleportation ability in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Unlike his comic book counterpart, this version of the character didn’t need the belt to teleport, it was just a thing he did. Bear in mind, this version of Deadpool could also shoot lasers from his eyes, and had retractable arm blades akin to Wolverine’s claws, so he’s not what you’d consider an accurate portrayal of the character.

They explained his abilities in the movie by saying Wade Wilson had multiple different mutant’s DNA mixed with his. In all honesty, we don’t really acknowledge this movie, or its portrayal of the character, and for good reason. However, for many, that was their first time seeing the character, so it makes sense that fans would assume teleportation is one of his many powers.

So just to clarify: No, the real Deadpool technically can’t teleport, but he is known for that ability, thanks to his cool belt. Maybe we’ll see the iconic piece of tech show up in Deadpool 3 — we’ve heard a lot about the upcoming film, but no confirmation on the belt showing up. Fans are certainly hopeful we’ll get to see him use his teleportation at some point ion the MCU.

Star Wars Comics: What happened when Darth Vader took on eight Jedi?

Star Wars Comics: What happened when Darth Vader took on eight Jedi?

In 1977, George Lucas introduced the world to Darth Vader, the menacing and seemingly unstoppable villain who constantly loomed over the original Star Wars trilogy.

While Lucas did show just how brutal Vader could be, the character’s cruelty was somewhat restrained when considering his terrifying appearance and mighty reputation. However, that changed years later. Vader’s hallway massacre at the end of Rogue One was a stark reminder of just how deadly the character is; let’s also not forget his appearance at the end of Fallen Order, where he serves as the final boss … but the player can’t actually hit him, and objective is to literally run away. Indeed, Vader has become scarier and scarier over the years; however, before recent media, the character’s vicious streak was on full display in the comics.

Eight Jedi standing together

In 2005, the year Revenge of the Sith concluded the prequel trilogy, Dark Horse Comics released Star Wars: Purge, a one-shot comic that takes place a month after the movie. The Jedi Order is crushed. The Republic has fallen. And Darth Vader is mad, very mad.

Obsessed with getting his revenge against Obi-Wan Kenobi, Purge sees Vader chasing down any sort of lead regarding the possible whereabouts of his former master. Anakin Skywalker’s angst and lack of patience can still be felt on the comic’s pages; this isn’t a level-headed Vader. He is brash, wrathful, and filled with absolute arrogance, so much so that Emperor Palpatine has to consistently counsel caution.

Vader’s cocksure nature is used against him when a band of Jedi uses his desire for revenge against him. False rumors of Obi-Wan being on the planet lure Vader to the planet alone, where eight Jedi are waiting for him.

The Jedi in attendance — Shadday Potkin, Butlar Swan, Sia-Lan Wezz, Ma’Kis’shaalas, Koffi Arana, Tsui Choi, Robilo Darte, and Jastus Farr — differ greatly in terms of skill and beliefs. Jedi like Koffi believe the only way to combat the Empire is by tapping into the Dark Side. Others, like Choi and Swan, dare not cross that line and remain committed to traditional Jedi teachings. This imbalance of opinion inevitably leads to the group’s downfall.

Vader crashes onto the scene and immediately shouts, “Where is Obi-Wan Kenobi?!” Talk about an entrance. He quickly slays a charging Sia-Lan — and then there were seven. Ma’kis is the next one to fall, but this is when the numbers start to overwhelm Vader. While the Sith is able to Force push Koffi away, he gets slashed in the back by Farr. Vader is put on the back foot, and his lightsaber is even deactivated by a cortosis blade Shadday is wielding. However, Vader simply Force pulls her toward him and snaps her neck with one hand. He takes the blade and deactivates a couple of lightsabers before getting his hand cut off (seriously, what is with the Skywalker family losing their hands). A slash on the leg nearly brings Vader to his knees. At this point, the Jedi have the prime opportunity to take the Sith down, but things go south fast.

In the end, luck and clone troopers save Vader

The notorious legend of Darth Vader could have possibly been ended right then and there on Kessel, saving countless lives in the process, if the Jedi weren’t so dang flip-floppy. When Vader feigns a surrender, Swan and Choi are tempted to accept it because Jedi do not kill unarmed prisoners. However, Koffi sees right through the ruse and goes mad. With his lightsaber deactivated, he takes Swan’s and leaps for the kill. One of Vader’s most creative kills ensues. He floats his hand (the one that was cut off and still holding the cortosis blade) directly into Koffi’s torso. And then there were three.

The remaining Jedi have finally had enough and use the Force to blast Vader with debris. After getting rammed right in the face with a chunk of stone, the Sith falls to his knees but still talks some smack. When the Jedi finally do decide Vader must die, Clone troops storm in and start blasting. Vader gloats about the Dark Side’s power as he freezes Choi mid-air, giving the Clones a perfect shot. Though the Jedi does throw his lightsaber in a last-ditch effort to kill Vader, it only cuts the Sith’s helm in half.

All in all, Vader was able to kill four Jedi by himself. The fight at Kessel, while nearly killing Vader, was also used for Imperial propaganda. Palpatine uses the battle to spread stories of how Vader killed fifty Jedi, further solidifying Vader’s terrifying image. 

Star Wars: Purge, while now labeled as Legends (non-canon), should be given a chance by every fan. Not only does the comic portray just how ruthless Vader can be, but it also displays the hubris of the Jedi and how their tentative nature can be their greatest weakness.

Is Chucky in ‘Dead by Daylight?’ The game’s newest killer, explained

From spine-tingling licensed killers to the OG slayers slated as the face of Dead by Daylight, the interactive game series continues to unleash a cauldron of sought-after killers — and it appears that DBD is now adding another major name.

As per IGN, the newest DBD chapter is set to introduce longtime horror villain Chucky to the video game. As the beloved mascot for the ever-popular Child’s Play franchise, Chucky has certainly been a major player in the horror realm and has been eagerly anticipated for years now. From the DBD community on Reddit calling for Chucky’s inclusion to die-hard gamers itching to see his mechanics in the game, it definitely feels like Chucky’s introduction is a special Christmas gift come early.

So before Chucky officially makes his much-anticipated debut in Dead by Daylight on Nov. 28 — although the PTB can be accessed via Steam right now — let’s dive in and explore the horror game’s newest killer.

Chucky’s game mechanics and appearance, explained

First off, one of the best parts about now having Chucky in Dead by Daylight is the fact that his crazed lover Tiffany Valentine is coming with him. And if you’re a die-hard fan of Tiffany (like me and my fiancée are), then you’ll be thrilled to learn that his sinister bride will be available as a “Good Gal” custom skin add-on after purchasing Chucky. The true kicker of it all? Chucky and Tiffany will be voiced by their real-life voice actors Brad Dourif and Jennifer Tilly, respectively. 

Alongside the Tiffany add-on, Chucky will be equipped with several jaw-dropping abilities — including some emphatic stealth abilities that allow him to sneakily move throughout the map without a typical “red stain” that indicates when killers are nearby. In addition, Chucky can sneakily crawl underneath pallets and evade windows by vaulting through and swiftly running past in a way to down Survivors.

Of course, I had to save the best news for last and reveal that Chucky’s real-life Charles Lee Ray persona will also be utilized in the hit horror game. As per various reports, Charles Lee Ray, infamously known as Chucky’s human form before his soul was transferred to the Good Guy doll, will be seen during matches as a spirit who can help hook Survivors and interrupt progress on generators.

So if you’re not too familiar with Chucky, you’re about to become his best friend forever when his official chapter releases on Nov. 28.

Every Rockstar game in order of release

There are few AAA studios as well-known as Rockstar Games. It’s one of the most acclaimed studios in the business and has redefined multiple eras of games through cutting-edge graphics, gorgeous cinematic storytelling, and its penchant for smashing industry records.

More than 50 games have been released under the label since the original five-man team got their start in 1998 as DMA Designs in Scotland. As of 2018, the company employs more than 2000 people across 12 studios positioned all around the globe, and those are just the studios that actually have Rockstar in their name. There are plenty of smaller (well, small in comparison) studios that regularly publish games through the label.  With such a wide umbrella, many of the games associated with the label aren’t “Rockstar Studios” per se, but just because they don’t have that big yellow box slapped on the label doesn’t mean they don’t count.  

There are so many games to choose from, so this is hitting the big franchises first, and yes, we know, the original GTA isn’t technically a Rockstar game, but it’s the spiritual precursor of the whole empire. Any games that don’t fall within the main franchises will come at the end of this megalithic list.
