Endgame Passes Titanic to Become 2nd Highest-Grossing Movie Ever
Avengers: Endgame has passed Titanic to become the second highest-grossing movie of all time, earning $2.2 billion at the global box office after less than two weeks in release.
The No. 1 highest-grossing film of all time worldwide remains Avatar with $2.8 billion (not adjusted for inflation).
Only five films have ever crossed the $2 billion mark and three of them are Disney releases (Avatar was released by Fox, which has since been acquired by Disney).
Why Disney+ Should Give Us an Agent Carter Miniseries
Warning! FULL SPOILERS for Avengers: Endgame and Marvel's Agent Carter series below. You can read our spoiler-free review of Avengers: Endgame right here.
Avengers: Endgame is the triumphant culmination of more than 10 years of storytelling within the MCU, complete with "a fitting and surprisingly poetic payoff," according to our review. It has also become the fastest movie ever to reach $1 billion at the global box office, proving once again that superhero fatigue is a myth. And while these epic milestones are impressive, Endgame also found time to honor many of the MCU's supporting characters, some of whom could be given new life on the Disney+ streaming service when it launches on November 12.

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:

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.
