After Luke Cage and Iron Fist: Every Upcoming Marvel Movie and TV Show
If you're wondering "will there be more Avengers movies?" the good news is "yes," though there hasn't been an official Avengers 5 announcement just yet. There are plenty of plans for our favorite Avengers to live on in a variety of forms, including the big screen and the new Disney+ streaming service.
Marvel probably won't announce their Phase 4 plans until July's San Diego Comic-Con or August's D23, and we can expect a better grasp on whether there will be more Avengers team up movies then. (We also have a good theory on who will be the MCU Phase 4 villain.) Fortunately, we do have a good idea of the next steps for the MCU over the next few years. Here's everything you need to be on the lookout for:
The New Star Wars Stories to Read Before The Rise of Skywalker
In honor of Star Wars Day, Lucasfilm has unveiled "Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," a series of books and comics that will tie-in to the upcoming film.
StarWars.com revealed the covers, details, and release dates for the 21 books and comics, and we've gathered them all below for you to check out.
“The Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker publishing program is our biggest and boldest film tie-in program yet,” Michael Siglain, Lucasfilm’s creative director of publishing, tells StarWars.com. “We’ve got exceptionally talented authors, artists, and publishers creating content for fans of all ages. While these titles will include some hints and Easter eggs for the new film, the majority of these titles will feature all-new stories set following the events of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Our ‘Journey to’ books and comics will star Rey, Finn, Poe, Rose, and, of course, Leia, Chewie, the droids, and the First Order."

George R.R. Martin: 3 Game of Thrones Spinoffs Are ‘Moving Forward Nicely’
George R.R. Martin, creator and author of A Song of Ice and Fire, has said that three of the five Game of Thrones' spinoff series at HBO are "moving forward nicely."
Martin published a new "not a blog" post on his website and, alongside praising Avengers: Endgame, gave a little update as to the status of the upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff series that will fill the void following the end of this final season.
"Oh, and speaking of television, don’t believe everything you read. Internet reports are notoriously unreliable," Martin wrote. "We have had five different GAME OF THRONES successor shows in development (I mislike the term “spinoffs”) at HBO, and three of them are still moving forward nicely. The one I am not supposed to call THE LONG NIGHT will be shooting later this year, and two other shows remain in the script stage, but are edging closer. What are they about? I cannot say. But maybe some of you should pick up a copy of FIRE & BLOOD and come up with your own theories."

Jared Leto Would ‘Definitely’ Play the Joker Again
While there are no announced plans for Jared Leto to return as the Joker, the actor has said that he would definitely be willing to suit up once again as the Clown Prince of Crime.
Speaking to Variety, Leto said that he would "definitely play the Joker again" and that "it all depends on the script and the circumstances as it always does."
Even though all of Leto's appearances as the Joker were reportedly shelved earlier this year, there are still rumors that he may show up in Harley Quinn's standalone film - Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) - and maybe even Suicide Squad 2.

Avengers Endgame: The Best Time to Use the Bathroom
The latest installment of the MCU is three hours and one minute long, which means you might be wondering when to pee during Avengers: Endgame. The average person pees six to eight times a day; some do it 10 times a day. Do the math and chances are you might need to pee (or poo) during this cinematic event you paid $15.50 to get into.
Note: We've kept this story pretty much spoiler free with only the most minor scene details, but proceed at your own risk if you want to know absolutely nothing about Avengers: Endgame! Be sure to catch up on our Avengers: Endgame review, our ending explained, how it may set up this classic Marvel villain for Phase 4, all the Easter eggs we caught, our biggest question about Black Widow, what's next for the Endgame cast, and our breakdown of the film's rules of time travel.
How Many Times the Infinity Stones Have Been Mentioned in the MCU
Keeping track of the Infinity Stones is no easy task. From Asgard to Midgard, from Xandar to Vormir, the stones have been hidden, their presence mainly unknown to the galaxy except to a select few until it became everyone's top priority to stop Thanos from collecting them.
So which was the stone that caused the most chatter? We tallied up every mention of each Infinity Stone up through Avengers: Infinity War:
The first stone to appear in the MCU was the Tesseract. The Red Skull pulled it out of a church in Norway in Captain America: The First Avenger. The second stone to be seen was the Mind Stone. Encased in a shell and used by Loki to manipulate the minds of men, he created havoc and chaos in New York.
