Rumored BLACK WIDOW Movie Details May Reveal Time Period
After spending several Marvel movies in a supporting role, Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow will star in her own movie, scripted by Jac Schaeffer. So far, few details are known about the film, but a new rumor may shed some light on what to expect. According to That Hashtag Show, the Black Widow movie will follow Natasha in the United States 15 years after the fall of the Soviet Union. That would put it in the mid 2000s, and shortly before the events of Iron Man 2. Making the film a prequel is an interesting direction, and this will no doubt lead fans to speculate about Natasha’s fate in Avengers: Infinity…

Review: CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER
A superhero film set in during World War II, a hero with a big heart, and the drive to help anyone that he can. In a nutshell that’s what I love about Captain America: The First Avenger. I would stop there, but I can’t end this review in just 37 words. The First Avenger tells us the story of Steve Rodgers (Chris Evans), a man who wants to “help the little guy”. He tries to enlist in the Army and fight in the war, but he’s too frail, sickly, and weak to do anything. Luckily, he gets a chance; a chance at being the world’s first Super Soldier. He becomes…

In the comics, Nightmare is one of Doctor Strange’s biggest enemies, serving as the ruler of the…
