Ever since Steve Rogers decided to hand his shield off to his buddy Sam Wilson (a.k.a. Falcon) at the end of Avengers: Endgame, fans have wondered what was next. We got a Disney+ series that showed Sam’s hesitance to pick up the mantle of Captain America and the history that comes with it. By the end of the series, he knew he was the only person who could take on the role of Captain America. Now, where do we go? It looks like the upcoming story of super heroes and alter egos, Captain America: Brave New World, will tell us.
A Brave New World Order

When discussing MCU characters, our focus often gravitates towards the Avengers and prominent villains. However, the MCU owes much of its success to secondary characters whose roles significantly influence the storyline.
That’s why fans recently turned to Ranker to determine the top 10 most underrated characters in the MCU. While some may never regain the spotlight due to past events, others still hold the potential for greater recognition.
10. Talos
Talos made his debut in ‘Captain Marvel’ as the compassionate leader of the displaced Skrulls, sparking hopes among fans for his significant role in the MCU’s future. While he did appear in the recent ‘Secret Invasion,’ his storyline took a tragic turn. We discovered that his life was even more sorrowful than anticipated, with his daughter nearly joining the enemy ranks. Ultimately, Talos sacrificed himself to protect the human president from Gravik’s attack, preserving his ultimate aspiration.

When commenting on the MCU characters, we almost always reference the big hitters like the Avengers or the most notable villains. But the truth of the matter is the MCU wouldn’t be what it is today if not for the contribution of secondary characters whose actions impacted the storylines more than realized.
This is why fans took to Ranker to decide on the 10 most underrated characters in the MCU. Some, due to unfortunate circumstances will never get their 5 minutes of fame again, and for some, there is still hope. Let’s see who’s on the list.

Back when Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. first started, events of the MCU were often referenced in the show, with Nick Fury even making a cameo appearance at the end of the first season. But as the show continued, it started to drift away from the main universe and by the time the seventh season concluded, it became a standalone narrative that had nothing to do with the MCU.
Reflecting on the MCU sidelining the first Marvel show that was initially tied to the MCU, Ming-Na Wen shared her disappointment over its treatment.

Marvel’s divisive era began much earlier than its post-Endgame Phase Four arc and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actor Ming-Na Wen may have just confirmed it on a public platform. The longstanding chasm between the frontrunner of Marvel television and the later Disney+ era has finally found some ground for debate and the Disney legend serves it up on a silver platter.

MCU has quite a lot of projects to release in 2024, 2025, and beyond. We know that there are several movies being worked on currently and affected by the strikes, but none of them are as anticipated as ‘Avengers 5’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ which are expected to continue MCU’s tradition of majestic crossovers.
Just like in the case of ‘Infinity War’ and ‘Endgame,’ these two movies will also be released only a year apart from each other, but the difference is that this time, they won’t be filmed back-to-back and they’ll be developed by two separate teams of writers and directors.
Next to nothing is known about the director ‘Secret Wars,’ and the most recent rumors mentioned Sam Raimi as the prime candidate although Raimi himself debunked the rumors awhile back, claiming that the studio hasn’t asked him yet. While we don’t have any official info we can always drop names,...

Just like ‘Infinity War’ and ‘Endgame,’ these two movies will be released only a year apart. However, unlike before, they won’t be filmed back-to-back, and they’ll be developed by two separate teams of writers and directors.
Very little is known about the director of ‘Secret Wars.’ The latest rumors suggested Sam Raimi as a top contender, but Raimi himself denied these rumors, stating that the studio hasn’t approached him yet. Despite the lack of official information, fans are speculating, and one recent name dropped is Quentin Tarantino. He’s supposedly retiring and working on his last film.

Samuel L. Jackson is an acting legend who has starred in numerous movies of all genres. Among his major movies are School Daze (1988), Do the Right Thing (1989), Mo’ Better Blues (1990), Jungle Fever (1991), Oldboy (2013), and Chi-Raq (2015), Tarantino’s films Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004), Django Unchained (2012), and The Hateful Eight (2015), but he also has two extremely popular roles in his filmography – that of Nick Fury in the MCU, as well as that of Mace Windu in the Star Wars franchise.
We know that Mace Windu died in The Revenge of the Sith, but the character had already been a fan favorite by that moment and since then, there have been numerous calls for Windu to return to the series, implying that the character did not die during the fated battle against Palpatine. Samuel L. Jackson was recently asked about it and he made his opinion on the matter quite clear.

It’s safe to say at this point that the most well-known role of actor Samuel L. Jackson’s long and storied career is as Nick Fury in the MCU. But while that will likely remain his most recognizable character of all time, Jackson credits his leading role in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 feature Pulp Fiction as the one that proved the biggest game-changer for his career.
Cinephiles are already aware of the lasting effect Pulp Fiction has had on pop culture and filmmaking itself. The film was only the second full-length feature Tarantino had ever made and is widely considered his best work to date. A twisting tale that deftly weaves together violence and humor, Pulp Fiction traces the journey of several characters whose lives intersect in strange and unexpected ways across Los Angeles.

Samuel L. Jackson is an iconic actor, who has been synonymous with being a charismatic on-screen persona, and captivating audiences worldwide. While the actor has immense acting range, fans love him for his outstanding use of colorful language both on and offscreen. Jackson’s delivery of profane language is outstanding, which is often neatly integrated with intense emotions. From anger to sheer disappointment, his emotional intensity deeply resonates with his viewers.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the Pulp Fiction actor is not the biggest on-screen cursor that the entertainment industry has witnessed. Surprisingly, research was conducted to find out the biggest users of obscene language, and to everyone’s surprise, Jackson was beaten in his own game by none other than Jonah Hill and Leonardo DiCaprio.

The world of Marvel comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is, in simple terms, a similar world, with the latter being based on the former. Although the majority of the MCU storylines are inspired or directly taken from the world of Marvel comics, Marvel comics are a huge universe with several parallel storylines based on the same character running simultaneously.

And so, fans have mostly come to believe that Marvel Comics is the main influencing factor, a recent surprising revelation revealed that the MCU too is heavily inspiring the events of the comics. As per one Marvel writer, Kevin Feige apparently called the hit on Ms. Marvel in the Amazing Spider-Man comics to help the MCU storyline.

Cinematic universes may be on the decline, but Guy Ritchie has just stumbled upon the potential for a fun one with his frequently amusing “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,” a light and sloppy World War II caper that reimagines Winston Churchill (Rory Kinnear) as Nick Fury, and a series of rakish, Nazi-killing brutes as his own personal Avengers.
Men on a mission films like “The Guns of the Navarone” might seem to be the more obvious points of reference here, but by the time Churchill is spitting orders at Ian Fleming (“Slow Horses” shitheel Freddie Fox), assigning real-life actress/spy Marjorie Stewart to some “Casablanca” cosplay with a sadistic Nazi commander, and waiting by the phone to hear if his top-secret wrecking crew has managed to sink the German ships that supply Hitler’s fleet of U-boats, saving the world merely seems like the set-up for the bigger and better...

The Simu Liu starrer Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was one of the most successful films in the recent past for the MCU. Earning more than $430 million during the pandemic, the film was lauded for its representation and action sequences. A sequel has been greenlit but there have been no new developments regarding its release.
The post credit scene of Shang-Chi shows Xu Xialing, the sister of Shang-Chi heading the Ten Rings and restarting the training, including women this time in the organization. A recent tweet revealed that the scene would directly lead to the upcoming MCU film Armor Wars, which sees several secret organizations try to steal Tony Stark’s technology.

Plot: Dan Lawson, a Chicago detective, travels to Scotland to link up with Scottish Det. Boyd, following the resurgence of a serial killer whose crimes match an unsolved case that he looked into 5 years previous in Chicago.
Review: Ever since David Fincher’s Se7en, I’ve been a fan of the simple premise of a detective hunting down a serial killer. This game of cat and mouse allows for just the right amount of mystery and intrigue that will keep you guessing until the end. I’d argue the big reveal at the end is nearly as synonymous with crime thrillers as cops and criminals. If there’s one thing a good mystery needs, it’s something unexpected. And Damaged certainly has that.

The ‘unremarkable sequel’ was something the Marvel Cinematic Universe found difficult to shake off in its initial phases. Thinking back to films like Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World could bring back memories of botched character arcs and poor commercial and critical scores. However, all that changed when Anthony and Joe Russo presented their Captain America sequel to the world, leaving the MCU worse than they found it if recent criticisms are to be believed.

By no means is Captain America: The Winter Soldier, now 10 years old, a bad film.

Even though Olivia Colman’s casting for the Disney+ series Secret Invasion thrilled us, we could not help but wonder why she wanted to join the cast. Now that we know, she is a fan as well.
The idea behind the show was something that viewers had been eagerly anticipating, but the Disney+ series received a mixed reception. And it was not expected. Despite this, in a recent interview, Colman appeared to be constantly raving about how much she loves the MCU.

Prolific is a massive understatement when it comes to describing producer Samuel L. Jackson, who next stars in The Kill Room, which opens Sept. 29.

In his career, he’s been in some of the most iconic films ever, as well, including Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing (1989), Mo’ Better Blues (1990) and Jungle Fever (1991), Jurassic Park (1993), A Time to Kill (1996), Black Snake Moan (2006), Goodfellas (1990), Die Hard With A Vengeance (1995) and the unforgettable Snakes On A Plane (2006).

‘Marvel Studios: Legends’ is a series on Disney+ that showcases characters and objects from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Each episode delves into the story of a specific character or item, using clips from previous MCU movies and Disney+ series to highlight their important moments.
Produced by Marvel Studios, the show debuted on January 8, 2021, and has been praised for its helpfulness to casual viewers. However, some have criticized its lack of new footage or documentary-style content.

Ernie Hudson was "disappointed" with the female-led reboot of 'Ghostbusters'.The 78-year-old actor made a cameo appearance in Paul Feig's movie that featured Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones in the main roles but acknowledged that the picture didn't strike a chord with fans of the franchise.Ernie told The Independent newspaper: "Fans were really invested in the story and the characters, and I think it was disappointing. I enjoyed the movie. But I think it wasn't what fans were hoping for."The star admits that he was puzzled by Feig's decision to reboot the supernatural franchise and thinks he should have made a continuation from the original films – which has subsequently happened with flicks like 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire'.Ernie – who stars as Dr. Winston Zeddemore in the series – said: "Look, I'm a fan of Paul Feig, so I have nothing negative about him to say.

Nick Fury is a spy above everything else. You don’t get to be the director of a top-secret organization unless you are the best at what you do. It is always expected that Nick Fury will have a backup plan for a back plan, and the new theory has come to light pointing out exactly what his backup plan was for the Avengers.
Nick Fury in The Avengers
Nick Fury has repeatedly proved himself to be a character who always has a plan ready to go. As a spy, he deals with knowledge and information, something he likes to keep from his enemies, but actively seeks out himself, not just about his enemies, but also his allies and friends.

Twenty five years ago, Marvel Comics was in a difficult spot. They were crawling out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They were coming out of one of the lowest creative points in the company’s history, and the early ‘90s comics boom had gone completely bust with very little sign of recovering. It wasn’t a good time to make superhero movies either, especially after the commercial ridicule thrown at Batman & Robin. So to try and fix things, Marvel tried something old again.
With the goal of getting back to “the world outside your window” that made the company a cultural juggernaut, Marvel stripped out 30 years of accumulated continuity and started fresh with brand new updates of their most popular characters.

Mehdi Hasan is going independent.
The former MSNBC host will launch a new publication called Zeteo, combining video, podcasts and text journalism that Hasan says in a video introduction “will bring you hard-hitting interviews and unsparing analysis that you won’t find elsewhere.”
Hasan is working with Substack on the launch, with subscription prices set at $8 per month or $72 per year. There’s also a $500 per year “founding member” option that includes a signed copy of his book and exclusive Zoom calls with the host.
In the introductory video, Hasan showed off a Zeteo-branded studio and teased that the outlet is “not just me.”
“I’ve been busy a la Nick Fury assembling an Avengers-style team of contributors, the kind of big names from media activism and Hollywood that will blow your mind,” he said.
Hasan exited MSNBC last month after the cable news channel canceled his Sunday evening program The Mehdi Hasan Show.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was the end of the Dceu or Snyderverse that had started with Man of Steel. A movie riddled with reshoots and other production issues, it was expected to be a failed entry as of the rest of DC movies released before it. But surprisingly the Amber Heard and Jason Momoa starrer movie has made just enough to set it apart from DC’s other failed ventures.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023)
This feat it accomplished without the presence of Batman, as was originally planned by the DC executives. While we may never know how the movie would have turned out had the original plan been followed, here is why DC was adamant about having the Dark Knight make an appearance despite him not really fitting into the ‘released’ storyline.

It could’ve been argued that the MCU was starting to lose its appeal since the conclusion of Phase 4 of the narrative, but those claims were proven undoubtedly true in 2023 when Marvel Studios objectively recorded the worst performance in its history with almost all of its scheduled projects. Thus, 2024 seems to be the year that the cinematic juggernaut will try to bounce back from the setback.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is famous for its superhero stories, but it has struggled with creating compelling villains for over a decade. Despite this, it has introduced various villains who earned the audience hate for their evil or controversial plans.
The MCU, the biggest connected universe in the superhero genre, includes TV shows linked to movies and introduces a range of characters—heroes, allies, and villains, whether human, alien, or mutant. While the MCU excels in creating compelling heroes, its villains haven’t received the same praise.
The first MCU villain was Obadiah Stane in Iron Man, and although he wasn’t the most memorable, he set a formula that the MCU hasn’t overcome, leading to its “villain problem.”
Despite some villains having less impactful stories, they garnered viewer hate for their evil actions and impact on the heroes in the universe. Here are 10 of the most disliked...

The premise of "Captain Marvel" was borne out of unique, if limiting, circumstances. The film was the 21st entry in Marvel's Cinematic Universe, and the first to put a female hero center stage. Perhaps more than any MCU film that'd preceded it, "Captain Marvel" had a complicated brief to adhere to. It was introducing one of the most prolific heroes in Marvel history at a veritable late point in the franchise, just before "Avengers: Endgame" brought about the end of the Infinity Saga. "Captain Marvel" also needed to establish the title heroine as someone with a history, all while avoiding a decades' worth of continuity concerns.

This post contains spoilers for Madame Web.
There are exactly two good things in Madame Web. No, it’s not the meme-worthy line about moms and Amazons, which doesn’t even appear in the movie. Neither is it all of the winks toward Peter Parker nor the young female Spider-heroes who (spoiler) have only two brief scenes in costume.
No, one good thing in Madame Web is the old-school Marvel logo that opens the film. The simple flipping of comics pages that dissolves into the big red block with the word “Marvel” in white font, before MCU movies replaced it with their busy fanfare.
The other good thing happens at the end of the movie. Or rather, it doesn’t happen. Because after Madame Web‘s closing scene, a very stupid looking close-up on Cass Web’s blank face, played by the ever-wooden Dakota Johnson, credits roll and that’s it.

Samuel L. Jackson is the highest-grossing actor of all time. The iconic actor, who made his feature film debut in 1972 independent drama Together for Days, has seen his name so far attached to 142 films, which have amassed more than $27 billion in worldwide ticket sales.
The big reason behind the eye-watering figure is Jackson’s frequent appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wherein he portrays Nick Fury. However, when fans think about the veteran actor, the first character that pops into their mind, more often than not, is Jules. A hitman, who tends to deliver sermons before killing his targets.

It won’t be far-fetched to say, Pulp Fiction is his career-defining stint. Yet, as far as Jackson’s opinion is concerned the 1994 cult classic sits below another crime thriller.

Samuel L. Jackson is one of the most highly accomplished actors in all of Hollywood right now, whose roles in films such as Pulp Fiction and Snakes on A Plane helped make him a global phenomenon. Of course, he is more known now for his role as Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With that said, he is now being considered a typecast actor by a fan who made an incredibly obvious joke.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has undergone numerous changes and developments over the years, getting mixed responses from fans and critics alike. After all, fans still fondly remember the heyday of Marvel, especially when The Avengers came out in 2012. Not even Samuel L. Jackson has been able to save the franchise for now.

Let's just say your Spidey-Sense better be tingling, because this article contains spoilers for "Madame Web."
It's not really on the same level as Nick Fury welcoming Tony Stark into a much wider world than he ever imagined, but "Madame Web" has now officially entered Sony's Spider-Man Universe. The live-action shared universe may be built entirely around Spider-Man's rogues gallery and assorted supporting characters ... but it doesn't actually feature the famous Web-Crawler himself. Yeah, we're still trying to figure that one out. Whatever the case may be, this oddly cobbled-together franchise made up of both "Venom" movies and the disaster known as "Morbius" now has another ignominious addition to its ranks, and, well, it went about as badly as everyone expected.
But with great power comes great responsibility, as some fictional dead guy you might've heard of once said, and the same certainly applies to how "Madame Web" teases...

Move over, Nick Fury, it’s Mace Windu’s time to shine! At least, that’s what would happen if Samuel L. Jackson had anything to do with it. Jackson first played Mace Windu in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, but unfortunately, the Jedi Master met his end in Revenge of the Sith after his hand was sliced off by Anakin and he was flung out of a window by Palpatine’s Force lightning. However, Jackson is confident that Mace Windu didn’t die and would jump at the chance to return for a series on Disney+.
While speaking with Empire for their issue celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Samuel L. Jackson had just one thing to say about Mace Windu’s supposed demise: “He’S Not Dead!!!” Aside from a brief voice appearance in The Rise of Skywalker, Mace Windu hasn’t come back from the dead,...

Before Samuel L. Jackson became synonymous with the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to his decades-long role as Nick Fury, it was “Star Wars” that was the first Hollywood mega-franchise to open its doors for the beloved actor. Jackson played Jedi master Mace Windu in George Lucas’ “Star Wars” prequel trilogy, and it’s a role he appears quite eager to play again despite Mace being killed off in 2015’s “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” after Anakin severs his hand with a lightsaber, and Emperor Palpatine electrocutes him and sends him flying out of a building window.
Not so fast. During an interview with Empire Magazine, Jackson had this to say about Mace’s fate: “He’S Not Dead!!!” When the subject of Mace being brought back for his own Disney+ series came up, Jackson was asked what he would want to see in such a project.
