The power of the whole Infinity Gauntlet was needed to fulfil Thanos's master plan, but if the special effects are any indication, it was one stone in particular that did the job.

China is an increasingly essential part of the global film market, and cracking into success there is a venture that any Hollywood film franchise needs to take seriously. Star Wars has not done exceptionally well, and Donnie Yen, who was in Star Wars himself, has some thoughts as to why.

Marvel’s upcoming animated series Marvel Rising will follow as a group of young superheroes including Ms Marvel, Squirrel Girl and Spider-Gwen (AKA Ghost Spider) come together to form a next generation team.

Ahead of San Diego Comic-Con this week, the first trailer for complimentary series of web shorts Marvel Rising: Initiation has dropped, and it has a few clues about what to expect from the show.

The Marvel Studios release schedule is intense. Three Blockbuster films a year? That's a lot. But there's a reason.

One of the most disappointing things about Avengers: Age of Ultron was how frankly idiotic the titular villain's plan to destroy the Earth was. As it turns out, though, Marvel initially considered giving him a much more epic weapon to take on the Avengers.

Avengers: Infinity War ends with one of the grandest, bleakest setpieces in Marvel movie history - directly inspired by a moment right out of the comics. But that wasn't always the case, according to the movie's screenwriters. In fact, fans could've been kept waiting until Avengers 4 to see Thanos' grand plan unfold.

You know what we're talking about. The thing. You know, that one? Look, let's just get past a spoiler warning and dive into what we're actually talking about.

What fan wouldn't want to own an original piece of superhero art drawn by their favourite Avenger? Now you can and all proceeds go to charity! Just remember, they're actors, not artists.

T'Challa's father T'Chaka (played by father and son, John and Atandwa Kani) casts a long shadow over the events of Black Panther. Decisions the former Black Panther made have long-reaching repercussions for T'Challa's ascent to the throne - and two new deleted scenes from the home release show his role was nearly a little bigger.

After a few years away, Marvel Comics triumphantly announced that the complete and original Fantastic Four team - Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm - would be reunited in their own ongoing comic series. Confused about how Marvel's First Family actually went away in the first place? Here's what you need to know.

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.

Marvel Studios' Black Panther had its world premiere yesterday along with several press screenings in New York and Los Angeles. Soon after, reactions hit social media, and if you weren't already mega-hyped for this movie, you're about to be.

If you watched the first trailer for Marvel's Inhumans TV show and were like, "What the hell was that?", good news! The director of the show didn't care for it much either.

The past two weekends, at two different conventions, Marvel has screened footage from Avengers: Infinity War. And each time, the first new scene in the footage, featuring Thor, gets a shocked gasp. At San Diego Comic-Con, io9 asked the director of Thor: Ragnarok about that moment and he gave a very curious answer.

Marvel Studios showed a huge chunk of footage from Avengers: Infinity War at the D23 Expo and there almost aren't words for it. But we're going to try.

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.
