Loki Confirmed to Be Marvel’s First Openly Bisexual Character in Latest Disney+ Episode
Before Loki even premiered on Disney+, a promo clip revealed Tom Hiddleston’s character is gender fluid. Now, in the latest episode of the limited series, the Asgardian’s sexual orientation has also been addressed: Loki is officially the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first openly bisexual character. Loki’s gender fluidity, something that’s canon in both Norse mythology and Marvel Comics history, was casually confirmed in a shot of a Time Variance Authority dossier on the time-displaced villain. His bisexuality, however, was a bit more explicitly stated. In Episode 3 of the show, which debuted today, Loki has a discussion with the antagonistic female variant of himself (Sophia Di Martino). When Loki mentions that he’s technically an Asgardian prince, his trickster counterpart asks if he’d eve...

Peep The Teaser Trailer to Marvel’s ‘Eternals’ [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marvel Studios / Disney With the pandemic having pushed back many of Marvel’s cinematic films over the last year, it feels like forever since we’ve indulged in the comic book goodness that’s been keeping our inner child excited for more than a decade. Now that things are getting back to normal (somewhat), Marvel’s Phase 4 is officially underway with Black Widow is set to drop this summer followed by the highly anticipated Eternals this Fall. While we’ve gotten a few trailers for Scarlett Johanson’s upcoming solo film as a Russian spy turned Avenger, Natasha Romanoff, we’ve only gotten the smallest of sneak peaks of the Eternals. Until now. Marvel Studios have finally released a teaser trailer for the Chloé Zhao directed epic which stars Angelina...
Marvel’s Kevin Feige Says White Washing ‘Doctor Strange’ Role Was A Mistake
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Back when Doctor Strange was about to go into production, fans of the comic book were outraged that the studio was white-washing the character of “The Ancient One” by casting Tilda Swinton in a role that should’ve went to someone of Asian decent. Though the move was to avoid racial stereotypes of its Marvel characters (the reason The Mandarin was played by Ben Kingsley in Iron Man 3), many felt the casting choice was disrespectful and called Marvel out at the time. Now Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige says he regrets going that route with Doctor Strange. In an interview with Men’s Health for Marvel’s upcoming film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Feige admitted that the casting of Swinton as “The Ancien...

Well, something’s something, right? The new Loki series will get into ...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Courtesy of Marvel Studios / Disney The final episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has arrived and… SPOILERS AHEAD… …and it starts with Karli rallying her troops after previously locking down the GRC.

NYPD is locking down the building as Falcon speeds towards lower Manhattan. Bucky is also on scene conversing with Falcon via earpiece. Sam let’s Bucky know he’s called in backup as a mysterious watch-capped figure approaches from behind. We quickly find out it is Sharon Carter in disguise.

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-24T02:15:13+00:00“>April 23, 2021 | 10:15pm ET Marvel is tossing Captain America’s shield onto the big screen once again. The Hollywood Reporter has it that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier head writer and creator Malcolm Spellman is developing Captain America 4. Spellman is co-writing the script with another member of his Disney+ series’ writer’s room, Dalan Musson. Unsurprisingly, Marvel is keeping mum on who will be carrying Cap’s shield in the film. Chris Evans wore the red, white, and blue suit through three solo Captain America films, the last being 2016’s Civil War. He finished his tenure as the hero in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame...
The First Trailer For Marvel’s Martial Arts Super Hero Film ‘Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings’ Has Arrived
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty The star of the upcoming movie Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings, Simu Liu, got one hell of a present on his birthday on Monday (Apr.19), the trailer for the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that will focus on an Asian superhero. Marvel’s Phase Four is looking very promising despite being unleashed in a very unconventional way. The trailer for Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings was a pleasant surprise for Marvel movie fans. It tells the story of Shang-Chi (Simu Liu), who was raised and trained to be an assassin in the Ten Rings organization but decides that is not the life he wants and escapes for a normal life in San Francisco. His past will eventually catch up with him leading him to confront his fa...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-20T19:20:16+00:00“>April 20, 2021 | 3:20pm ET As star-studded as the Marvel Cinematic Universe typically is, the new Disney+ series Secret Invasion looks like it’s coming extra loaded with A-listers. New reports indicate that both Game of Thrones alum Emilia Clarke and The Crown star Olivia Colman are in final talks to join the limited event series (via Variety and The Hollywood Reporter). Unsurprisingly, neither actress’ role is being revealed — after all, it is a secret invasion. The pair will be joining Samuel L. Jackson (reprising his landmark Nick Fury) and Ben Mendelsohn (the Skrull Talos from Captain Marvel) in the series, as well as One Night...
Alfred Molina Confirms Return as Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man: No Way Home
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-18T16:30:45+00:00“>April 18, 2021 | 12:30pm ET Alfred Molina has officially confirmed he will be reprising his Doctor Octopus role from 2004’s classic Spider-Man 2 in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: No Way Home. In an interview with Variety that will surely bristle Marvel head Kevin Feige, Molina described his involvement as “the worst kept secret in Hollywood” and detailed how his character fits into the new Tom Holland-starring movie. The veteran actor recalled asking No Way Home director Jon Watts how the film would resurrect Dr. Otto Octavius, who presumably died while stopping his own fusion reactor from destroying New York City ba...
Our Hate-Love-Hate Relationship with the New Captain America
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-10T14:25:29+00:00“>April 10, 2021 | 10:25am ET Warning: Major spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. He didn’t have to do anything for us to hate him. All John Walker (Wyatt Russell) had to do to earn our ill will was not be Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). Falcon relinquished the shield Steve Rogers gave to him out of an abiding respect for his friend, a sense that what the original Captain America accomplished was unique and personal. Handing that symbol of Steve’s accomplishments over to the Smithsonian was a sign that Sam intended to honor his friend’s legacy without taking on his mantle. So, when some random new guy assumes that mantle, replete with the shield Falcon re...
We Need to Talk About the Cat in the Loki Trailer
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Captain Marvel. By now, we’re all familiar with the new trailer for Disney+’s next Marvel spinoff series Loki. But what we haven’t talked about enough is its surprise introduction of … a cat. Or, “cat.” As we see in the trailer, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is immediately confronted by a noticeably chill tabby cat upon being released into an office after meeting with Owen Wilson’s Mobius. The cat even begins purring when Loki drops into the adjacent chair. Now, anyone who’s had the good fortune to interact with a cat would find this suspicious: What pet on Earth would be that content when next to an empty bowl, or that calm when a fugitive God of Mischief interrupts their afternoon? But that’s exactly it: They’re not on Earth. Loki is a prisoner of the Time Variance Au...
