See how They Made Black Panther’s Suit

Last week we shared the news with you that Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War was created entirely in post-production. The suit was the product of state-of-the-art visual effects, necessary beacuse the look directors Anthony and Joe Russo wanted would have been impossible to achieve practically.  Luckily, the VFX studio Cinesite was there to help. Civil ...

Black Panther’s all CGI Suit a True Marvel

The inclusion of the new Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War was a big deal for Marvel-heads.

It’s all Giggles & Curse Words in Captain America: Civil War‘s Gag Reel

Captain America: Civil War might be one of the more somber Marvel films to date, but that doesn't mean the large cast of mostly old friends didn't have a hoot filming it.

Here’s What Thor & The Hulk Were Doing During Captain America: Civil War

One question that always nagged at us while we watched Captain America: Civil War was where in the heck Thor and the Hulk were during all of this?

Watch a Telling Deleted Scene From Captain America: Civil War

What it would be like if The Winter Soldier had to take Captain America's shield and, perhaps, take on his identity as our most moral superhero?

A Spoiler Free Captain America: Civil War Review

Captain America: Civil War is the most satisfying Marvel film to date. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have essentially crafted the third Avengers film in everything but the title (including the omission of two major characters), and while they've scaled down the stakes (for a Marvel film), leaving the global population relatively safe no ...
