In the MCU, the name Tony Stark commands considerable respect. Within the franchise's context, the now-deceased, self-described "genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist" was the former co-leader of the Avengers and the ultimate savior of the universe, sacrificing his life to wipe Thanos (Josh Brolin) from existence. In real life, Tony is an icon of superhero cinema, resuscitating Robert Downey Jr.'s career and becoming the MCU's face for all intents and purposes. The character's eventual death in 2019's Avengers: Endgame marked the end of an era for the franchise and, arguably, superhero cinema as a whole.

If you're itching for a new Sherlock Holmes fix, but you've already binged your way through Young Sherlock, it may be time to look back and revisit Guy Ritchie's other inspired take on literature's most famous detective. Based quite loosely on the stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Ritchie previously helmed Sherlock Holmes, an action-packed take on the character featuring Robert Downey Jr.in the leading role that still makes waves after all these years. In fact, fans still hold tightly to the re-imagining and its sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows —and it's about time that a third mystery springs afoot.

There has been no shortage of content for Marvel fans to devour since the MCU shifted gears in 2019 after the premieres of Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home. While there were once only two Marvel movies to watch every year, it’s not irregular now for there to be three movies and three or four shows — fans could spend hours arguing about whether this has hurt or helped the MCU in recent years. Already in 2026, there have been three MCU projects, starting with Wonder Man, the critically acclaimed showbiz epic starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley. This was followed by Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 (starring Charlie Cox), which led directly into The Punisher: One Last Kill, the Special Presentation starring Jon Bernthal. The MCU has two feature films coming this year as well.
