The Marvels serves as a sequel both to 2019’s Captain Marvel, starring Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, but also to Ms. Marvel (which introduced young Kamala Khan) and WandaVision (which introduced Monica Rambeau, who was the daughter of Carol’s friend Maria Rambeau, played b

Josh Reviews Spider-Man: Far From Home
While Avengers: Endgame was an epic, enormous culmination to the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, it was actually Spider-Man: Far From Home that was the official end to Marvel’s “Phase Three” of films. (Kevin Feige just announced an exciting and weird array of fil

Josh Reviews The Avengers: Age of Ultron!
Marvel Studios is on a winning streak the likes of which I have rarely seen. (The only recent comparison I can draw is Pixar’s incredible run from Ratatouille in 2007 through Toy Story 3 in 2010.) Right before seeing The Avengers: Age of Ultron, one of my friends sent me a r
