Marvel Studio’s new Deadpool & Wolverine movie is chock full of cameos and juicy details. It’s hardly unexpected, but as someone who went in only knowing about one cameo, I want you to have the same experience I did. I’m going to keep the spoilers to an absolute minimum outside of what you’ve likely seen…
It’s no secret that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had a bit of a struggle lately – spread too thin, films that haven’t hit as well as they’d like, and spinning all the plates has left fans feeling a bit frustrated and exhausted. Well, Marvel Studios sees you and feels your pain. So let’s just…

The series focuses on Kathryn Hahn’s character, Agatha Harkness, from the acclaimed Marvel Studios’ series WandaVision, as she sets off on a dangerous, mysterious adventure filled with trials and tribulations. Showrunner Jac Schaeffer, the creative…
One of the side-effects of the recent supremacy of superhero films has been the ways they have been stretched and mutated to encompass other styles and genres, sometimes successfully (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and sometimes not (Thor: Love and Thunder). In the process they’ve tended to ignore the built in themes and subtext of…
As Nick Fury and Monica Rambeau are working on the S.A.B.E.R. space station above earth, something strange happens. The portal that they use for intergalactic travel becomes distorted. Similarly, across the galaxy, Carol Danvers sees a similar distortion. When Monica and Carol investigate and come into contact with the distortion, something extraordinary happens. They swap…
In this age of serialized storytelling, of multi-film arcs that take years to resolve, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in real danger of doing something that the comic books these films are based on have struggled with for decades – keeping the status quo. There’s a resistance to change, of not shaking the tree too…
Vital Thrills got a chance to talk to the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 cast and crew about the highly-anticipated May 5 release. This is the final Marvel Studios film (for now) from James Gunn, who has recently taken over the DC Studios alongside producer Peter Safran. Present were stars Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan,…
Jeff Loveness was born to write for Marvel. As a kid, his brother and friends would quiz each other on Marvel trivia on the way to school. Later, he wrote and directed the viral fan film Wes Anderson’s Spider-Man, which caught the eye of Jimmy Kimmel Live! There, he wrote a new Star Wars trilogy…
“It’s not you, it’s me.” That’s a phrase we hear during a break-up that’s supposed to make the pain go down a little easier. I’m not the same person when we met. My needs and wants have changed. You’re great, you haven’t done anything wrong. We’ve just grown apart. Things like that. Well, after Ant-Man…
With Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania opening in theaters on Thursday, February 16, Vital Thrills got a chance to talk to the cast and crew about the anticipated third installment. In Quantumania, which kicks off Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Scott Lang/Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) return to…

One of my favorite aspects of Marvel Studios’ output so far is that it feels like it’s starting to compartmentalize a bit. Want cosmic adventure? Here’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Want street-level action? Try some Daredevil. Espionage and intrigue? The Winter Soldier or Black Widow awaits you. Much like the comic books, there are tracks…
Yet another Disney+ Marvel Studios series is coming out on August 18, 2022. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law stars Tatiana Maslany as lawyer Jennifer Walters, cousin of Bruce Banner, aka Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).

After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) has joined the Guardians of the Galaxy for adventures across the universe. But as he tries to find himself, he’s unable to attain inner peace and self-fulfillment. However, Thor is forced to set aside his identity crisis when a new threat emerges – Gorr the God…
Thor: Love and Thunder, unlike Taika Waititi‘s previous entry, Thor: Ragnarok, suffers from familiarity. Ragnarok was refreshingly comedic – at that point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it felt like we had seen everything the character of Thor had to offer. But then audiences saw that Chris Hemsworth, if given the opportunity, could be quite…
With the highly-anticipated film opening in theaters on July 8, Vital Thrills got a chance to talk to the Thor: Love and Thunder cast and crew.
