Even though much of the tonal and stylistic inspiration for the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes directly from the publisher’s Ultimate universe line, it’s rare that its comics and movies interact all that directly aside from a handful of film tie-ins. But the new issue of Infinity Wars is raising our eyebrows just a bit.

ABC's Inhumans was originally planned to be a full-length movie - until it got stuck in development hell and was repurposed into a less-than-stellar television show, becoming the kind of monumental disappointment that Marvel executives probably have nightmares about. But the studio has a great opportunity to cash in on another classic Marvel Comics group for a film project that could hit a lot of similar notes. We're talking about the Eternals.

Once you've seen Avengers: Infinity War and processed your emotions, the questions begin to sink in. Did that really happen? What's next for them? And then you look at the bigger picture and think, what about next year?

Thanos' quest for the Infinity Stones comes to a head in Avengers: Infinity War, but the movie also finally gives us the reason why the Mad Titan has spent six years' worth of post-credits teasers gathering such vast cosmic power. And, perhaps surprisingly, those motivations have deep roots in the comics.

The Mad Titan is not the only villain finally arriving in Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War. He's bringing with him a group of henchmen known in the comics but barely seen in the snippets of Infinity War we have so far: The Black Order. Here's what you need to know going in.

Here's your latest look at Avengers: Infinity War - and Thanos' is here to kick some major butt.

Straight out of Austin, we're bringing you a bonus episode of Kotaku Splitscreen to talk Black Panther and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Seeing as how Black Panther is the 18th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the fact it ends with two credits scenes is hardly a surprise. What is a surprise, though, is that while these scenes seem relatively self-explanatory, there's a lot more going on in them than you'd think - especially in the second scene.

Black Panther presented director Ryan Coogler and his team with the task of bringing the iconic character to the big screen, but that wasn't the hardest part. The hardest part was creating an entire country, more technologically advanced than anywhere on the planet, based around an indestructible super-metal that doesn't exist in the real world. The process started with a single question.

The first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War was insanely massive. The TV spot that just debuted at the Super Bowl is too, but the coolest part is, well, we'll let you see.

Some new images from Netflix's second season of the highly-acclaimed Marvel show have given us some interesting things to ponder.

If you've seen Captain America: Civil War and the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War, you know that at some point between the two films, the Winter Soldier gets back into fighting shape just in time to join forces with the Avengers and Wakanda's Dora Milaje to take on Thanos. A new Marvel comic gives us some connective tissue between the Black Panther film and the big team-up.

Kenneth Branagh, the Shakespearean director and actor who the world's first introduction to the MCU's Thor, has some insights into the pressures behind one of Marvel's first cinematic universe films.

As frustrating as the Black Panther's absence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe up until Captain America: Civil War might have been, it makes plenty of sense when you remember that as a rule, the nation of Wakanda keeps to itself while the rest of the world gets caught up in global drama.

Over the weekend, Spider-Man: Homecoming became Sony's second-largest opening ever, pulling in an impressive $US117 million ($153.2 million) and being on track to ultimately make $US300 million ($392.9 million) at the domestic box office alone. With that financial win in its pocket, Sony finally has to feel confident again about Spidey's cinematic future.

"Thooooooooooooooooooor! Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuulk!"

Disney just unleashed some new footage from one of their biggest films of the year, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. And it's hilarious.
