More Lethal Than Thanos? The Super Villain Galactus Could Come to the MCU

One of these villains can make Thanos look like a pre-injection Steve Rogers.

With Disney’s pending acquisition of 21st Century Fox, we could finally have the IP union we’ve been craving for over a decade. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a property of Disney, but Fox has long held on to its coveted Marvel properties like X-Men and the Fantastic Four. Fox also owns a multitude of other characters and story arcs from the Marvel comics (including a mouthy fellow by the name of Deadpool),

Samuel L. Jackson Teases Captain Marvel‘s Faux Hawk

There are few heads of hair that bring out the super fan than Captain Marvel’s mohawk. You could argue that Thor’s locks were the most famous in the Marvel canon, but that was before we heard Captain Marvel was getting her own film. Once Marvel revealed they were giving Captain Marvel her own movie, and then cast the great Brie Larson, the next logical question was whether she’d be rocking one of the coolest looks we’ve ever seen on a superhero.

I vividly remember convincing my friends that they needed to get out and see Sicario when it first hit theaters. Denis Villeneuve at the helm was reason enough for me to buy a ticket,
