Apart from a few minor Twitter grumbles when it was announced at Comic-Con 2019 that Natalie Portman was to take on the role of Marvel’s thunder god, there has been very little in the way of backlash – certainly nothing like the horrible behaviour dished out to Kelly Marie Tran for daring to sign up to Star Wars, or to Leslie Jones for appearing in the all-female Ghostbusters remake.

Out of the 19 performer categories — including the guest, short form and voice-over categories from last week’s Creative Arts Emmys — 10 went to Black actors.

Superheroes and freaky cats: how Captain Marvel rewrote the rules.
If there’s one thing we should have been primed for, prior to viewing Captain Marvel, it would be to expect the unexpected.
Marvel is a studio that, time and again, has chosen to twist comic-book canon to suit new needs, rather than deliver overly faithful adaptations of the original work. The addition of the Skrull, a race of alien shape-shifters, to the Marvel universe, prompted predictions that we may ultimately see storylines riffing on the 2008 Secret Invasion storyline, in which various members of the Avengers are replaced by extraterrestrial interlopers. In the comics, the Skrull are usually evil and often bent on invading Earth and taking it for themselves. (1) Small Details You Missed In Captain Marvel.

For a mega-blockbuster that had one of the most convoluted build-ups in the history of cinema, Avengers: Infinity War opted to end on one of the biggest audience bummers since The Empire Strikes Back.
Spoiler warning: big purple bad dude Thanos succeeded in wiping out literally half of the entire universe, including a considerable proportion of the Marvel heroes fans had grown to love over the course of an eventful movie-going decade.

From the moment he emerged, seemingly fully formed, into the searing spotlight of the public eye in the cult Richard Kelly fantasy Donnie Darko, Jake Gyllenhaal never quite seemed cut out for the Hollywood heart-throb mould.
There have been efforts to recast the actor as a smouldering, musclebound action hero since that spiky early foray into the heart of post-pubescent darkness – conspicuously, if not memorably, in 2010’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. But he has always seemed more comfortable – certainly more watchable – playing offbeat outsiders such as Darko, Nightcrawler’s sociopathic stringer Lou Bloom and Okja’s screwball TV zoologist Dr Johnny Wilcox.

Meat vessels in the shape of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis brandished problem-solving M60 machine guns, wiping out scores of faceless goons and dropping devastating puns while doing so.
