If Loki’s first season left you on the edge of your seat with the introduction of He Who Remains towards the end, the second season is likely to leave you even more flummoxed than the first. Season 1 gave us a good look at the concept of the Multiverse, which, together with the What If…? series (2021), Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), have established the concept of an infinite number of universes in the MCU. He Who Remains is none other than a variant of Kang the Conqueror, or Kang Prime, of Earth-6311, from the year 3000.…

Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique believes Jurgen Klopp should have signed Leandro Trossard instead of Cody Gakpo this winter. Gakpo joined the Reds in January from PSV for a fee in the region of £37million after he scored three goals at the World Cup in Qatar. He was added to help provide extra firepower in attack during the absence of the inured Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino. However, the 23-year-old has struggled to translate his prolific form to the Premier League, failing to score in his first six outings. But the Dutchman turned up when it mattered most, notching his first goal in…

Originally, Michelle Borth was the actress in the super suit after Mary Bloomfield said the magical word. However, that’s not the case in the sequel. As for why, that remains a mystery.

The DC Universe hasn’t had a lot of luck in the later years of the 2010s with its major releases, but there is one movie that has managed to stand out from the rest. It is the Patty Jenkins blockbuster hit Wonder Woman which many were expecting to do justice to the DCU after the critical reception that Suicide Squad received the year before. James Cameron happens to be one such celebrity who didn’t like the movie for his own reasons. However, almost like a classic phenomenon of liking something you once disliked, James Cameron has gone on to reassess his opinion on the…

WHEN you’re on the Prem summit, just ahead of Arsenal and Manchester United, surely the last thing you want to think of is a red top. Fans have noticed the Manchester City striker is a machine not just at scoring goals but also for munching carrots – even dangling them out of his mouth as he signs autographs. Haaland rounded off City’s return to the top of the table with a cracking finish in Wednesday’s 3-1 win at Arsenal. And he’s a gold-carrot performer off the pitch as well. The £51million Norwegian will never be short of vitamin A, judging by his knack…

Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag© PA Images Man Utd impressed as they drew 2-2 with Barcelona in a pulsating Europa League match at the Camp Nou on Thursday night.

Man Utd drew 2-2 with Barcelona at the Nou Camp and it was another sensational performance from Marcus Rashford. Rashford’s biggest stage There was a time last season when Marcus Rashford didn’t look ready to perform on his most regular stage, never mind gracing the biggest venues on tour. He was a timid presence at Old Trafford last season and he was sarcastically cheered on at least one occasion when he was substituted. He was deemed good enough to start just nine of the final 25 games of the season. Now, it’s difficult to believe this is the same player. Xavi called…

In fact, until recently, there was only one that was “Rotten,” but now, one more Marvel…

Chris Hemsworth has finally come out of hiding to share his thoughts about a new villain threatening the God of Thunder. Thor Odinson might continue to be comedic, and a bit more silly than MCU fans would prefer, but he is the God of Thunder for a reason. Never mess with Thor. Most villains who do, end up dead — I’m looking at you, Thanos! Even after Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)’s disappointing use of comedy, fans are still excited to see Thor return. With the Multiverse, some variants of the mighty hero have faced Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror and died.…

His compensation is estimated to be no less than $4.84 million each month.
