Every Marvel Movie Releasing After Avengers: Endgame

Avengers: Endgame may be the culmination of the MCU so far, but that doesn't mean there's not a lot of upcoming Marvel movies on the way. Marvel Studios is currently keeping their long-term plans under wraps, with Marvel visionary Kevin Feige confirming no Phase 4 announcements would be made until after Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Avengers: Endgame is the swan song for the OG Avengers, but the future is bright for the MCU, with a range of new and diverse heroes - including Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel - ready to take center-stage. What's more, now the Disney/Fox acquisition is complete, it's only a matter of time before the Fantastic Four and the X-Men join the shared cinematic universe.

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME - JULY 2, 2019

Spider-Man: Far From Home is the last film in Phase 3 and first after Avengers: Endgame, and will serve as an extended epilogue to Avengers: Endgame. "So much happens in [Avengers: Endgame], as you can imagine," Kevin Feige explained, "and so much is affected by it that we felt what better person to hold your hand and lead you into the next incarnation of the MCU, in a grounded, realistic manner, than Peter Parker?" The plot will see Spider-Man head to Europe on a summer vacation with some of his classmates, and he'll team up with Nick Fury in order to take on the threat of Mysterio and the monstrous Elementals who are tearing through the continent

BLACK WIDOW - LIKELY MAY 2020

There's been clamor for a Black Widow movie since Scarlett Johansson was introduced playing the character in 2010's Iron Man 2. The film is finally becoming a reality after Avengers: Endgame in Phase 4, however, with filming due to start in June. Johansson is rumored to be netting a $15 million paycheck for the movie, with Florence Pugh, David Harbour and O-T Fagbenle recently joining the cast.

Avengers Endgame hits high

Avengers: Endgame has crossed another huge box office milestone: it’s become the fastest film ever to earn more than $2 billion at the worldwide box office, and has become the second-biggest film release ever, according to Deadline.

The film earned a jaw-dropping $1.2 billion on its opening weekend across the world, and has broken a ton of records since its release: it became the highest-grossing Thursday release ever, the biggest opening weekend ever (in the US and globally), biggest opening in China and India, the largest second weekend box office ever, the fastest to earn more than $1 billion, now the fastest to earn $2 billion, and it’s surpassed the box office totals of Avengers: Infinity War, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Titanic. Given that the film has only been out for a week, it seems likely that it’ll climb up a couple of more spaces, and maybe surpass Avatar’s $2.7 billion total gross.

Who would've thought one day we would be saving the world just by making fashion conscious decisions?Yes you read that right SAVING THE WORLD! Now, I know running to one's wardrobe wouldn't be the first thought that comes to mind if a gigantic alien equipped with a mystical gauntlet was walking around vaporising human beings just by the snap of a finger. However,it turns out in this age were talks of going green have really been ramped up fashion has not been spared in terms of how different industries can adjust so as to enhance humanity's fighting chance against the earth's seemingly unstable climate system.

Sustainable fashion/eco-fashion is not a new phenomenon with its origins dating as far back as the 1960s. However, due to fast fashion eco fashion is ceasing its existence. According to investopedia, "Fast fashion” is a term used by fashion retailers to describe inexpensive designs that move quickly from the catwalk to stores to meet new trends. As a result of this trend, the tradition of introducing new fashion lines on a seasonal basis is being challenged. Today, it is not uncommon for fast-fashion retailers to introduce new products multiple times in a single week to stay on-trend.

Its important to pay special attention to the antagonistic nature of fashion and sustainability. These two are positioned as parallel in the fast fashion market. The clothing market is fast every now and again there is something new hence the accelerated production. Notably, not because we need these clothes but due to capitalist  tendencies and a vast market share.

In view of the above, the clothing industry has been noted as the second biggest polluter globally following oil. It is not only affecting the environment but as humans too. Polyester is now existent on 3/4 of the clothes we are wearing today all in the name of "the in thing, trends" whilst damaging where we are living in. Polyster is a fabric made of plastic. If its estimated that over a half of waste globally finds itself traced to fashion.

 The world would be a better place if everyone understood that of the 95% of clothes we throw away they have a second life but due to the throw away culture we tend to purchase more over reusing to make something new. The  media has programmed people subconsciously that there is a need to ever buy, through the largest fashion hubs, labels and movies. music amongst others.



Therefore, people should try by all means to practice redesigning, mending and patching.
