Venomous and even deadlier, Black Widow teams up with Hawkeye for a new series

Two of Marvel’s most iconic heroes will share the spotlight next year in Black Widow & Hawkeye! Celebrating 60 action-packed years of Black Widow and Hawkeye, this new chapter in the pair’s storied legacy will be told by writer Stephanie Phillips, known for her work on Contest of Chaos and Cosmic Ghost Rider, and Paolo Villanelli, currently delivering cosmic brilliance in Captain Marvel: Dark Tempest. The four-issue limited series will both dive into the duo’s history of secrets and espionage while playing off recent developments including Natasha Romanoff’s recent bonding with a symbiote!

THE EYES OF A HAWK AND THE VENOM OF A WIDOW! Even when Black Widow and Hawkeye had no one to trust, they still had each other – even though their paths sometimes diverged. So when Clint Barton is accused of a rogue assassination attempt that puts the U.S. and Madripoor at odds, a symbiote-equipped Natasha Romanoff thinks nothing of coming to his aid. But as echoes of their past ripple into the present, it will take all their faith in each other – and the lessons learned along the way – to protect their futures.

Check out Stephen Segovia’s explosive cover below and celebrate Black Widow and Hawkeye’s milestone with this epic series this March!

Review: Wastelanders: Black Widow #1

Wastelanders: Black Widow #1

When it comes to mysterious characters in the MCU, there is only a handful.  One of those being satisfied in the recent Hawkeye series, which gave fans, some well deserved answers to our burning questions. As we found what happened to Yelena during the “Blip” and how she has coped with her sister’s death. We also found out exactly where the Kingpin has been during everything going on the wider Marvel Universe.

It is Yelena’s sister, Natasha AKA Black Widow that remains ever so enigmatic to longtime fans and viewers. AS Natasha rarely gives up as much as she takes, which is possibly a job hazard. AS being one of the world’s greatest spies, often means hiding in the shadows and plain sight. That is why she may be the most interesting character in the first 3 phases of the MCU. In the latest one shot story in the Wastelanders, we get Wastelanders: Black Widow #1, Natasha Looks to take on one more job, a secret that can change the world

We are taken to the domain of Lizard King, deep down in Florida, where he has taken a prisoner and Black Widow, long thought to have died in the Villain Uprising, has risen from hiding for one big score.  We find out happened to her after the villains won, Yelena burying her sister and taking over the mantle of Black Widow, scavenging the Wastelands the best way she could. She works her way though his lair, defeating Hulk’s grandchildren one by one and temporarily slowing down the Lizard King to get to  Elias Starr. By the issue’s end, Yelena finds him, but a shadow of his former self, leaving her to take down Red Skull all on her own.

Overall, Wastelanders: Black Widow #1 is an outstanding entry into the Wastelanders and proves that some heroes never die. The story by DeKnight  is incredible. The art by the creative is wonderful. Altogether, a story which shows why the MCU should make Yelena the next Black Widow.

Spider-Man: No Way Home Takes First Again Making it Four Weekends in a Row

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Spider-Man: No Way Home has again topped the weekend box office, the fourth weekend in a row. The film grossed an estimated $33 million to bring its domestic total to $668.8 million. While reaching $1 billion domestically seemed like an impossible task before its launch, the film might pull it off, or at least get very close. The film is such a juggernaut, other release dates are being moved.

Internationally, the film grossed $108.5 million over the week to lift that to $867.5 million. There’s little doubt the film will cross the billion mark for its international gross. At this point, the question is, how far will the film go?

Currently, the film has grossed $1.536 billion worldwide. It ranks #6 for lifetime domestic earnings (not counting for inflation) and when it comes to worldwide, the film ranks #8 and will likely slide into #6 at some point this week passing The Lion King and Jurassic World.

In second place was Sing 2 which held on to the spot once again for the third week. The film grossed just under $12 million domestically to bring its earnings to $109 million. Internationally, the film added around $26.9 million over the week to lift that total to $81.8 million. Worldwide, the fil has grossed $190.8 million.

The King’s Man took fourth place with an estimated $3.3 million. Domestically, the film has grossed $25.1 million. Internationally, the film added about $20.9 million to bring its international total to $49.2 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $74.3 million.

American Underdog rounded out the top five with an estimated $2.4 million to bring its domestic total to $18.7 million. There’s no international gross.

In comic films…

Eternals is still grossing at the box office with a week before it debuts on Disney+. The film added $58,000 to its domestic total to bring that to $164.8 million. It also added about $100,000 at the international box office to lift that to $236.9 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $401.7 million.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage looks like it has earning a little domestically over the week, about $100,000. The film has grossed $212.6 million domestically. Over the week it looks the international box office remained steady at 288.5 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed a little over $501.1 million worldwide.

My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission has remained just under $9.8 million. Internationally, the film looks like it has remained steady at $31.2 million and its worldwide gross just over $41 million.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings‘ domestic gross remained around $224.5 million. The film also looks like it remained steady at the international box office where it stands at $207.7 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed just over $432.2 million.

Black Widow has ended its domestic run. Domestically, the film has grossed a little under $183.7 million. The international total stands at $196 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $379.6 million.

Old looks like its run has completely ended. Domestically, the film has grossed $48.2 million. Internationally, the film stood at $41.9 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed a little over $90.1 million.

The Suicide Squad has ended its run at the box office. Domestically, the film has grossed $55.8 million. The film has also earned $111.6 million internationally. Worldwide, the film has grossed $167.4 million.

Initial numbers have 33 films earning $62,747,864 from 30,209 theaters. That’s a decrease of about a third from last weekend’s 39 films which earned $98,910,480 from 32,173 theaters theaters. The average earning was $2,077.13 this past weekend, a dip from the previous weekend’s $3,074.3.
