6. Avengers Mansion Up For Sale... And Tony Stark Might Be Why
Marvel Comics
Much has been made of the fact that Insomniac's New York has a fully fledged version of Avengers Tower dominating its skyline, and while it certainly looks as though that's where their version of Earth's Mightiest Heroes will be based, the Bugle does hint that a change of scenery could be on the horizon (and that another character could be appearing as well).
The listing advertises a "magnificent property for a super steal" located on New York's 5th Avenue. Comics fans will most likely recognise the address as being the location of Avengers Mansion, the team's home in the comics since they were originally established in 1963.
While the listing doesn't imply whether the Avengers will be moving into the property or whether they've just vacated it for the new complex located downtown, it's a nice callback to a famous Marvel locale and one that players should be able to visit as well. More interesting, perhaps, is that the advertisement lists that the property has been vacated by a "prolific NYC industrialist" - who else could that be, other than Tony Stark?
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
