Author Details
Kevin Erdmann is one of Screen Rant's senior staff writers. With a major in Cinema Studies and a minor in Comics and Cartoon Studies from the UofO, Kevin is pretty sure he's writing for the right site.

Kevin lives in Oregon with his wonderful wife, adorable dog, and sinister cat who is no doubt currently plotting his demise.

Kevin has worked in a few roles with Screen Rant such as with the Comics section, though he's currently a senior writer for both the Star Wars and Superheroes Beats, covering everything MCU, DCU, and the Galaxy Far, Far Away.
