3MarvelMovies toWatch Out For What’s Next for Marvel Movies?

Sometimes it gets warm in your home and you don’t want to turn on the air conditioner — or perhaps you simply don’t have an air conditioner. But you still want to stay cool and comfortable, especially at night. Here are a few great ways to keep cool while keeping the air conditioner off (or out of the picture). Utilize desk, floor, or ceiling fans. Chances are you already have at least one fan running, or you have one ready to go should you need it. There are several ways you can actually get more out of these types of fans. One of the best ways to cool down your home with fans is to place them in specific spots. If you have two or more fans, place one by an open window with the airflow pointed out. This collects warmer air and sends it out of the home. Place a second fan elsewhere in the home (but near the first one and without obstructions) to drive air to the other fan. If you only have one fan, try placing a large bowl of ice directly in front of it. The ice will cool the air as it blows through, acting as a makeshift air conditioner. While you will have to replace the ice every once in a while, this is a remarkably effective way to cool down a room. Change your sheets. It might not seem like much, but changing out your bedsheets can make a world of difference in temperature regulation. If you typically use flannel, fleece, microfibre, silk, or satin sheets, swap them up for 100% cotton in the summertime. Cotton breathes more than many other types of sheets and doesn’t retain heat as readily. Microfibre sheets, for example, are often made out of polyester, which is a champion at retaining heat. To make matters worse, polyester isn’t the most breathable, making it harder to relax and fall asleep. For an extra cool kick, place your cover sheets in the freezer before you head to bed (about 30 minutes before). Then spread your chilled sheets over your bed. It’s a temporary chill, but on extra warm nights, it can be just enough to help you drift off to sleep. KEEPINGCOOLWITHOUT ANAIRCONDITIONER Summer Breeze

For the past 10 years, Marvel movies have delighted families and comic book nerds alike with their memorable characters, incredible action scenes, and sprawling, interconnected storylines. The Marvel Cinematic

Universe (MCU) is the story of the Avengers so far, told through 23 movies. Even though this year marked the end of a massive arc that

Marvel Studios dubbed “The Infinity Saga,” there are still more movies coming out that will feature everyone’s favourite heroes. Here are a few films coming

up next in the MCU.

A Black Widow Solo Movie International assassin Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, was the first female member of the Avengers and made her debut appearance in “Iron Man 2.” She never got her own movie, but Marvel announced recently that a Black Widow movie is officially in the works for the next phase of Marvel movies. Besides the fact that they’ve started filming, there’s not much information about it yet. But for many excited fans, this movie has been a long time coming. ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ Star-Lord, Rocket, Groot, and the gang are all back in the third instalment of this smash-hit franchise. Without getting into too much detail, “Avengers: Endgame” and the post-credits scene of the second “Guardians” movie provided some clues about the plot and possible main villain. Though details are slim, “Vol. 3” is sure to be another rollicking ride through the cosmos. ‘Black Panther 2’ “Black Panther” was immensely popular (it earned nearly $700 million domestically), and its success removed all doubt that there would be a sequel. Audiences will journey back to Wakanda and see the newest adventures of King T’Challa and crew, although not much is known about the plot or the release date as of now. But you can rest assured that the creative minds behind the sequel are taking their time to make it as good as the first. The future storyline of the MCU is up in the air, but, if the previous movies are any indicator, families, fans, and audiences everywhere have a lot to look forward to.

Even if you don’t have an air conditioner or you’re looking to save some money on your energy bill this summer, you can still enjoy a cool, comfortable home with just a little bit of effort.
