With Spider Man: Into the Spider-Verse out tomorrow, audiences will be treated to a new version of a beloved, oft-portrayed superhero. Or more accurately, new versions – Miles Morales might be at the heart...

Shrouded by rumours of production difficulties and creative differences in the cutting room, Ruben Fleischer’s iteration of Venom hit cinemas this week with the almost universally preconceived – perhaps...

There's a line in Venom about a "turd in the wind" that seems tailor-made for angry critics. But to use it in a review would give the screenwriters too much credit. It would be easy to blame all the...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, of which Ant-Man and The Wasp is the latest edition, is a multifaceted one. All of the characters and worlds, ranging from the psychedelic multiple realities of Doctor Strange...

Deadpool 2, the latest in Fox’s recent attempt to inject the superhero format with a little more blood and badmouthing, opened last week to a generally positive critical reception and the beginnings of what...

Marvel Studios' cinematic universe has all but taken over the the global box office, much like the crypto-fascist team the "Avengers" at its centre (just kidding). The decade-spanning, 18-film franchise owes...

The emphasis Thor: Ragnarok’s marketing has placed on boisterous irreverence proves only half-true in delivery. In fact, this threequel latches fairly greedily onto the proven Marvel formula throughout. All...
