Based on the film’s subtitle, The Last Dance, Ejiofor is clearly playing a multiverse Michael Jordan and the venom symbiote is how he becomes the greatest basketball player ever. Except this universe, he plays his entire career for...The Washington Wizards.

But, how did the rest of your date with the Black Keys go?

...hmmm if only there was something currently happening within the Justice Department that was pertinent to the question posed by this article.

I see what you did there

I was waiting for one of these...

As a kid and now far in to adulthood, I have been entranced by Marvel Comics and the modern mythology they encompass. Star Wars was great but it still doesn’t have the breadth of stories and characters that Marvel has. It probably never will.

Oh.
