 The post-credits scene of Eternals introduced one key object in Kit Harington’s Dane Whitman history: the Ebony Blade, and here’s what you need to know about it. With the Infinity Saga now over, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is moving forward with its Phase 4, which covers both TV shows and movies, and which is exploring new concepts and places from this extensive universe. Phase 4 is also introducing new characters, and the first team to join this new era are the Eternals, who changed the history of the MCU, and with them also came Dane Whitman. Directed by Chloé Zhao, Eternals introduced the title team, an alien race created by the Celestial Arishem and sent to Earth centuries ago to protect Earth from their evil counterparts, the Deviants, and who stayed to help humans progress, though they weren’t allowed to interfere in their conflicts. The team is formed by Sersi (Gemma Chan), Ikaris (Richard Madden), Sprite (Lia McHugh), Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani), Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry),...

 Toy Story 4 again features the musical stylings of Randy Newman, including a couple of new songs in addition to an old favorite. This latest Toy Story film finds Woody and the gang with their new kid, Bonnie, and the change in living situation makes the film a bit of a departure from earlier installments. Not that fans should worry, though, because Toy Story 4 retains the same zany humor and heartfelt moments audiences have come to expect of the film series. Newman's music has been a part of the Toy Story franchise since the very beginning and it's impossible to imagine a Toy Story movie without his signature songs. Along with scoring each film, Newman typically contributes songs that while not sung by any of the characters (and usually performed by Newman himself), are used to reflect their emotions. For example, the beautiful "When She Loved Me" isn't sung by Jessie in Toy Story 2 (instead it's Sarah McLachlan), but the way it's used in the film highlig...

 This weekend, Netflix will add a documentary series, a British thriller drama miniseries, and a horror movie. The coronavirus pandemic continues, but that hasn’t stopped theaters all over the world from continuing working as normal, which in turn has allowed studios to release all those movies that had to be delayed. However, streaming services continue to be the main source of entertainment for many, with many of them still housing movies that skipped theatrical releases while also adding original content. Such is the case of Netflix, which not only keeps welcoming movies that didn’t release in theaters but also keeps adding new licensed and original content every week. Last weekend, the streaming giant welcomed the fifth seasons of Better Call Saul and Queen of the South, and the thriller movies The Call and Nightcrawler, along with the documentary Return to Space, the fifth season of the teen drama series Elite, and the teen comedy movie Metal Lords. This weekend, Netflix won’t...

 Hela's death in Thor: Ragnarok could have set up Christian Bale's villain, Gorr the God-Butcher, in Thor: Love & Thunder. The fourth Thor film will be heavily influenced by Jason Aaron's iconic Thor run, which saw Jane Foster become the Mighty Thor. What's more, the two Gods of Thunder will be going up against one of Aaron's most memorable villains; Gorr the God Butcher, played by Christian Bale. In the comics, Gorr's story goes back 3,000 years. He grew up in an arid, doomed world, and eventually developed a bitter hatred of the gods who had failed to save his family from death in the harsh environment. Finally, Gorr stumbled upon the bodies of two gods who had fallen to the ground locked in combat; one had stabbed the other with a fearsome weapon called All-Black the Necrosword, which imbued him with the power to slay the gods. He was transformed into one of the most powerful beings of all creation, slaughtering gods for millennia. It's not hard to se...

 The Amazing Spider-Man 3 never got off the ground, but with the huge surge in love that Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man has received, it would look quite different if it were to actually proceed. After the mixed reception to The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Garfield's superhero career looked to have been cut short. However, his triumphant return to the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home has paved the way for a future that, while undoubtedly different from what Sony had originally intended, may yet prove to be extremely successful. Following the cancellation of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4, Sony elected to reboot the Spider-Man series with 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man, with Andrew Garfield becoming the new Peter Parker. While Sony had big plans for the Spider-Man franchise, The Amazing Spider-Man 2's polarized reception and (comparative) box office downturn led to Spidey rebooting again in the MCU, with Tom Holland taking on the role. Spider-Man: No Way Home has changed the game fo...

 The Northman, a 10th century viking revenge tale from The Witch director Robert Eggers, is in the works, and here's what we know about it so far. Although he's only made two films so far, Eggers has already established himself as a filmmaker worth following, as both The Witch and 2019's The Lighthouse are highly unique, mentally stimulating efforts. Sure, they might annoy some moviegoers looking for a more straightforward narrative and concrete answers to every question raised, but it's impossible to please everyone. The Witch is the film that arguably gave rise to the "elevated horror" phrase that's basically used to refer to arthouse horror that tells a slow burn story, doesn't rely on Hollywood's beloved jump scare tactics, and is content to leave viewers guessing as to what they really just saw afterward. The Lighthouse is most definitely in the same school, but takes the strangeness factor up several notches. Amusingly enough, some horror fan...

 Disney famously acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019. A major effect of the merger is that almost all of the Marvel characters that have previously existed outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have now reverted back to Marvel Studios - although the preexisting movies do not fall under that umbrella. Marvel has announced plans to reboot many of the franchises that are back under their ownership and integrate them into the MCU, and Disney+ has started rebranding Marvel movies that don't fall under the MCU banner as Marvel Legacy movies. There is a long history of Marvel films that exist outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that are stylistically very different from the MCU, but many of them remain - if not good - then very, very watchable. Here's every Marvel movie that isn't part of the MCU. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man (2002) was the first installment in the trilogy, which also included Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007). James Cameron intended to write and dir...
