Captain Marvel is set to join the rest of the MCU and, being Marvel’s most powerful hero, she could be the game-changer in Avengers: Endgame. Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers has yet to debut on the big screen, but fans are already counting on her to help the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes take down Thanos (Josh Brolin). Captain Marvel will be entering the fold after Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) sent her a message before disintegrating into dust in the post-credit scene of Avengers: Infinity War....

It was reported yesterday that the global chip shortage was “affecting everyone except Apple,” with two factors insulating the iPhone maker. That isn’t quite accurate, as iPhone 12 production has been constrained by shortages of both power management chips and LiDAR components, but it’s certainly true that the Cupertino company is in a much better position than most. However, it seems Apple may have another worry, as a Samsung plant responsible for 5% of global chip supply has been out of action for over a month …...

Birds of Prey’s first trailer looks nothing like the DC movies that audiences have become accustomed to, and that’s a very promising sign. DC Films has firmly established itself as the darker of the mainstream superhero pack over the past decades or so, defined by the visual stylings of Zack Snyder in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman (which bled over into David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman) and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy before that....

According to director Vince Gilligan, the surprise cameo in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie was one of the film’s trickiest technical aspects. For five seasons, the original Breaking Bad series told the story of Walter White (Bryan Cranston) as he walked a dark path from mild-mannered science teacher to the ruthless kingpin of a drug-manufacturing empire. That story culminated in a thrilling, widely-praised finale - when the man also known as Heisenberg returned from hiding to bring down those who’d betrayed him and right some wrongs....

The Week Before: Eat Down the Fridge Right about now, you need to start emptying your fridge. The more you can cook in advance, the less work you’ll have to do on the big day.

The Outdoor Grill That grill is designed to cook food after all....

David Ayer’s Suicide Squad was mostly maligned by fans and critics back in the summer of 2016. Jared Leto’s Joker was seen as a betrayal of the character at his core; the script was rushed, as Warner Bros. forced Ayer to complete it in just six weeks; and the dialogue was agonizingly on-the-nose. The only thing that fans unanimously enjoyed about the movie was Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn. So, with the studio in her debt, Robbie is now producing her own female-led DC spin-off, Birds of Prey....

The release of Bloodshot #1 is fast approaching, giving the unkillable antihero another chance to make an (action-packed) first impression with a new wave of comic readers. And believe us, the first issue is all they’ll need to see exactly why Valiant’s star supersoldier is in a league of his own. From his debut appearance, the premise of Bloodshot has sold itself: an experimental soldier injected with billions of nano-machines giving him super-healing, shape-shifting, tech-mastery, and more....
