The stakes in Marvel movies are often unbelievably high, and lately, it's been even more so. Entire nations, realms, and even the universe are up for grabs. It seems like an appropriate contrast, then, that Ant-Man and the Wasp follows Avengers: Infinity War, and shrinks the stakes of the story down to the size of a bug in comparison. Sitting in between two massive Avengers movies, (and...
After decades of bad comic book movies, directors finally started to get things right. Now we’re a full decade into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and we have enough movies to fill up a day and a half of time.
