One thing that fans learned after watching Game of Thrones was that any character can die at any point in the series regardless of how significant they are. It seems like House of the Dragon is also all set to go on a similar path as its predecessor series and we might be witnessing a lot of unexpected deaths in the second season of the series.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an ever-expanding world of wonder and super-heroics. It’s also become a revolving door where, as the MCU ages, it has become a revolving door for characters old and new. At Morgan Stanley’s 2023 Technology Media and Telecom Conference on Thursday, Disney CEO Bob Iger said Marvel is constantly re-evaluating the repeated use of certain characters and who will be the franchise’s new faces overall. Iger says the next five years are crucial to the Marvel formula. Decisions about who gets a sequel and which legacy characters will return for another adventure are forever in flux. Instead of relying on old tricks, Marvel is looking forward and is eager to bring young and exciting characters into the limelight.
“Marvel — there were 7,000 characters, there are a lot more stories to tell,” Iger said. “What we have to look at at Marvel is not necessarily the volume of Marvel storytelling,...

Marvel Studios is never shy to bring back a fan-favorite character or give an old favorite a sequel. Over 24 years and 31 movies, the only characters that have been officially retired are a few tentpoles like Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). But according to Disney CEO Bob Iger, the studio’s upcoming slate is all about going to be introducing fresh faces and less about bringing back old stalwarts.
During Disney’s Thursday presentation at Morgan Stanley’s 2023 Technology Media and Telecom Conference, Iger spoke about the future of Marvel at the company. During the next five years, Iger said Disney would reevaluate whether certain characters need sequels, or need to be brought back at all.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is obsessed with Captain America and it always has been. Even though the Joe Biden lookalike bid his superhero friends farewell 10 whole movies ago, he's somehow always top of mind — whether it's Sam Wilson struggling to follow in his footsteps or Peter Parker attempting murder atop Cap's giant fallen shield from the Statue of Liberty. But by far, the greatest tribute to America's Ass was the dazzling musical that took fictional Broadway by storm in the Disney+ series "Hawkeye." So if you haven't been able to shake the memory of "Rogers: The Musical" from your brain, then prepare to celebrate some very good news: Steve Rogers will officially take center stage in his own one-act musical!
Disney Parks announced the news via Twitter, sharing a brief teaser video and writing, "A short one-act musical is coming for a limited time this summer to Disney California Adventure Park!

This post contains spoilers for "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania." Please proceed with caution.
Back in 2019, "Avengers: Endgame" featured one of the boldest moves the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever done: They decided to permanently write off two of its biggest heroes, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). Considering most franchises' general tendency to keep things going for as long as possible, the fact that they went through on such a major change to the status quo (and have stuck to it in the years since) feels like minor miracle.
In the years since, they've given us a replacement of sorts for Steve Rogers, letting Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson take over his Captain America role. There hasn't really been a clear-cut replacement for Iron Man, however. Ironheart in "Wakanda Forever" is probably the closest to him from a technical point of view, but who's going...

James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes (Sebastian Stan) has gone through a lot in the MCU. He was captured and tortured by Hydra before falling off a train in Captain America: The First Avenger. He was presumed dead for decades before he was revealed to be the Winter Soldier, a brainwashed Hydra assassin in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He was framed for the murder of T’Challa’s (Chadwick Boseman) father and the bombing of the U.N. in Captain America: Civil War. He was forced into couples therapy with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and started to atone for his past as the Winter Soldier.
After all of this, it seems like Bucky deserves a really nice vacation, but the MCU has other plans. Bucky was announced as part of the Thunderbolts lineup at D23, and now Kevin Feige...

David Harbour is a relative newcomer to the MCU — he debuted his role as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian in 2021’s Black Widow and is set to reprise the character in the upcoming Thunderbolts team-up.
So when it came time to learn everything he could about his future castmates, he turned to We Have a Ghost co-star Anthony Mackie, who had some particular advice about his franchise frenemy, Sebastian Stan, who will also be appearing in Thunderbolts as Bucky Barnes, aka The Winter Soldier.
“Sebastian is a very nice person,” Mackie said with a grin as he and co-star Jahi Di’Allo Winston spoke with Et’s Ash Crossan this week.
“Don’t take his quietness and standoffishness as him being mean or rude. You just have to warm him up a little bit,” he teased. “You know, give him some almond butter, talk to him a little bit. He’ll be fine.

One of the great charms of the first two “Ant-Man” movies is how little they have to do with the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sure, Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang tussles with Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson in the 2015 original. And yeah, the introduction of the Quantum Realm in the 2018 sequel lays the groundwork for the time travel shenanigans in “Avengers: Endgame.” But generally speaking, audiences could take in Scott’s size-shifting adventures alongside scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), his daughter Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) and Hank’s wife and Hope’s mother Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), without needing to be steeped within the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

You'll have to forgive me for kicking things off here with a little bit of math. But when a movie like "Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania" deals with quantum mechanics, multiverse travel, and all sorts of other high-concept, sci-fi nonsense, then maybe it's not too out of place. The upcoming pint-sized threequel will become the 31st movie (!) released in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which spans almost 15 total years and crosses over into dozens upon dozens of hours of shows. That's ... a lot, to say the absolute least. And it's turned every upcoming event into an extravaganza that requires a certain amount of homework for those who care about the interconnectedness of the overarching story.
"Quantumania" certainly fits the bill, although part of that is to be expected for a film that's capping off a trilogy of movies. The first "Ant-Man" debuted back in 2015 and quickly became an MCU staple, appearing...

Los Angeles, Feb 15 (Ians) Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has confirmed in a new interview that Tom Holland’s fourth ‘Spider-Man’ movie is being written.
Marvel had one of its biggest hits ever with Holland’s third-outing, ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home,’ which became the first pandemic release to gross over 1 billion worldwide.
“All I will say is that we have the story,” Feige said about Holland’s anticipated ‘Spider-Man’ return to Entertainment Weekly, reports Variety.
“We have big ideas for that, and our writers are just putting pen to paper now.”
Whether Holland will once again team up with ‘Spider-Man’ actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield remains to be seen. Both actors have expressed interest in returning for a new ‘Spider-Man’ movie.
Feige also confirmed to EW that ‘Deadpool 3’ will be the first R-rated movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick had previously...

When we next see Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he’ll have a new gig, and it’s a mighty impressive one. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige spoke with Entertainment Weekly about all things Marvel earlier today, and while talking about Captain America: New World Order, he mentioned that Ross will be the President of the United States in the movie.
“This is certainly a big part for Thaddeus Ross,” Kevin Feige said. “He’s the president of the United States in the film. And with Harrison, you think about Air Force One, and you think about some of his confrontations with the president in Clear and Present Danger. There’s a dynamic between President Ross and Sam Wilson. They have a history together, but in this film, we’ll be seeing the dynamic between Captain America and the president of the United States in a way that is just incredible.

While Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige usually prefers to stay schtum about future developments for the MCU, the release of a new movie often finds him opening up a little to drop teasing hints about projects in the works. The impending arrival of Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania is just such an occasion, and Feige talked to Entertainment Weekly about a variety of subjects, including future plans for Spider-Man, The Marvels and more…
On the subject of Spider-Man, he was relatively cautious, since the company has yet to reveal any plans for more movies. But at least one is in the works, according to Feige. "All I will say is that we have the story. We have big ideas for that, and our writers are just putting pen to paper now."
Also arriving this year is The Marvels, the Nia DaCosta-directed sequel to Captain Marvel, which will see Brie Larson...

Deadline confirmed the news last October that Harrison Ford would be taking over the role of General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross — previously played by the late, great William Hurt — beginning with Phase 5 title Captain America: New World Order. At the time, details about the character and the film’s plot were being kept tightly under wraps.
But in a new interview with EW published today, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige confirmed that, in New World Order, Ross has become president of the United States. It’s familiar territory for Ford, who famously played a combat-trained Commander in Chief in Wolfgang Petersen’s 1997 actioner Air Force One.
Feige:
This is certainly a big part for Thaddeus Ross. He’s the president of the United States in the film. And with Harrison, you think about Air Force One, and you think about some of his confrontations with the president in Clear and Present Danger.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe isn't afraid to repeat itself. Sometimes, that means we're lucky enough to get legacy characters. That's how we got to see Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) don the mantle of Captain America, how Dr. Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) lifted Mjölnir and transformed into The Mighty Thor, and how Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) survived an accidental gamma-irradiated blood transfusion to become She-Hulk.
Other times, it means that we're stuck watching Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) rehash the same emotional beats in every single project. In fairness, Tony Stark spent most of his MCU tenure doing the same thing, except with guilt instead of grief. Could we provide more examples? Sure, but you've undoubtedly filled in the blanks for yourself, for better or worse.

The cast for Marvel's Captain America: New World Order is growing by one. Atlanta and Space Jam: A New Legacy's Xosha Roquemore will be part of the ensemble playing — and you surely should have seen this coming – a character that is a mystery for now.
New World Order sees Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson as Cap, following the events of The Falcon And The Winter Solider, which saw him wrangling with whether he even wanted to take over after Chris Evans' Steve Rogers handed him the shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame.
He'll star alongside Harrison Ford (who takes over the role of Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross from the late William Hurt) and Tim Blake Nelson as The Incredible Hulk's Samuel Sterns (Aka The Leader), plus Danny Ramirez as Falcon's Joaquin Torres, who looks set to inherit the Falcon role from Wilson and Carl Lumbly as the show's Isiah Bradley,...

There came a day, a day unlike any other when Earth's Mightiest Heroes found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, the Avengers were born. Unfortunately for Scott Lang in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," that day was not the day that he came face to face with Kang the Conqueror.
Although, the top brass at Marvel Studios thinks that he can handle being the first line of defense against the big bad of the Multiverse Saga. Recently, it was revealed that Kevin Feige felt that Paul Rudd's size-shifting superhero earned a top spot on the House of Ideas' roster. That's why Peyton Reed's third film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was repositioned as the introductory tale to bring us into Phase Five.

Despite being a founding member of the Avengers in the comics, Ant-Man has rarely been viewed as one of the major players in the Marvel Universe. Though the size-shifting hero has been involved in some of the most memorable storylines in superhero history, many feel that he's not exactly on the same level as Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Panther, or a number of his other teammates. This mentality carried over when the character made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
That's not to say that Scott Lang's adventures haven't been great. Paul Rudd's pint-sized powerhouse might have one of the most fun franchises in the entire MCU. It's also one of the most self-contained corners of this world as well, so it might not be as daunting for new fans to digest.

Anthony Mackie has come a long way since first suiting up as the Falcon in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" back in 2014. In fact, his Sam Wilson is next in line to take up the mantle once held by Chris Evans' Steve Rogers in "Captain America: New World Order," which is set to hit theaters next year. There is currently a bit of uncertainty in the Marvel Cinematic Universe during a time when much of the old guard is making their exit and passing the torch to other characters.
Sam is one of the most well-established legacy heroes in the MCU, having appeared in multiple movies and even co-headlining his own Disney+ series, "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier." Fans love his take on the character and I think it's safe to say we're all looking forward to seeing him step into Captain America's boots in 2024. Interestingly, Falcon wasn't...

The ubiquitous Marvel Cinematic Universe has reached a critical mass where it is almost unavoidable. Like a supermassive black hole, it's going to keep absorbing every actor of repute until everybody has a part to play in the world of the Avengers. Because of this, nearly every actor worth their salt has been in a Marvel movie at some point or another by now. It's almost a rite of passage in stardom. While most people have generally positive experiences, there certainly have been those, like Christian Bale, who has spoken out about their lack of enjoyment in working for the Marvel content machine.
Anthony Mackie, who portrays Sam Wilson, the former Falcon now known as Captain America, was one of the McU's lesser-known actor hires when he entered the franchise. This is not to say he wasn't a legitimate performer, having been in such movies as "8 Mile," "Million Dollar Baby,...

Where are the Avengers? For fans of shared universe stories, that question can get very annoying very fast. It makes sense for those new to the concept to wonder about the whereabouts of other characters, but for long-term fans, the answer is simple: someplace else.
Too much worrying about what Thor is doing while Doctor Strange fights Scarlet Witch or why Ant-Man never helped Shang-Chi stop the bus rampaging through San Francisco distracts from the main hero’s story. Just enjoy Doctor Strange and Spidey and let other heroes worry about themselves.
That said, it does make sense for characters to cross paths at certain events, such as the funeral for Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame, attended by all major heroes, including T’Challa. As impressive as that scene certainly was, it has nothing on the funeral scene from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

It feels like it's been a bit of a meteoric rise to stardom for Anthony Mackie, even if the New Orleans-born actor has been doing strong work on the big screen for the last two decades following his first film role in the Eminem-starring "8 Mile." After making a splash as the main antagonist in that movie, Mackie started working steadily with roles in "The Manchurian Candidate," "Million Dollar Baby," "We Are Marshall," and "The Hurt Locker," but it wasn't until he landed the coveted role of Sam Wilson, better known as the Falcon, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that his career really started to soar.
After making his MCU debut in the acclaimed "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," Mackie has, to date, strapped on the wings five more times on the big screen. Last year, he carried the character over to the small screen alongside Sebastian Stan's...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains major spoilers for the ending and mid-credits scene in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” currently playing in theaters.
At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige took to the Hall H stage and for the first time delineated the grand plan for the Multiverse Saga — including that “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” which opened this weekend, would mark the conclusion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4. That designation, however, is more symbolic than literal.
“Wakanda Forever” is unmistakably an extraordinary event, serving as a poignant farewell both to the franchise’s late star, Chadwick Boseman, and the stirring hero he portrayed, King T’Challa. But within the context of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the movie does not really conclude anything. Unlike 2012’s “The Avengers” (the conclusion of Phase 1) and “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (the conclusion of Phase 2), Ryan Coogler’s film does not...

Even after half of all living things are snapped out of and back into existence, the Marvel Cinematic Universe can’t seem to escape the ramifications of Captain America: Civil War and the Sokovia Accords.

Marvel Cinematic Universe films are a curiosity among modern superhero movies in that they're lauded for their general spectacle but not so much for their action scenes. What's more, at the risk of kicking the proverbial hornet's nest, this is one area where recent DC films have surpassed their Marvel peers. Where the one-on-one fights in the MCU often boil down to a bunch of weightless computer-generated images bashing one another silly, the brawls in DC titles like "Batman v Superman," "Aquaman," and "Birds of Prey" boast precise choreography and a tangible sense of danger.
There are a few exceptions, like some of the more memorable martial arts throwdowns from "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" and, if we're including the old Marvel Television shows, the stellar one-take tussles in Netflix's "Daredevil."

Harrison Ford has made the leap into the MCU to join the upcoming feature ‘Captain America: New World Order.’
Ford will take over the role of Thaddeus ”Thunderbolt” Ross, replacing the late William Hurt.
Hurt first played Ross in Marvel Studios’ 2008’s ‘The Incredible Hulk,’ as a U.S. Army general who is instrumental in transforming scientist Bruce Banner (then played by Edward Norton) into the Hulk.
Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson returns for his first solo outing as Captain America. Tim Blake Nelson will reprise his ‘The Incredible Hulk’ role fourteen years later to play the villain The Leader.
In addition, Carl Lumbly will return as Isaiah Bradley while Danny Ramirez returns as the new Falcon after both appeared in ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ series.

In addition, Shira Haas will play Sabra in what director Julius Onah dubs a paranoia thriller.

After weeks of speculation, it’s been confirmed that Harrison Ford will play General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ford is replacing William Hurt, who played the iconic character from 2008’s The Incredible Hulk to 2021’s Black Widow. Sadly, Hurt died of prostate cancer on March 13, 2022. He was 72. Ford will star in Captain America: New World Order opposite Anthony Mackie, Shira Haas, Tim Blake Nelson, and Carl Lumbly. The star-spangled sequel is the only confirmed film for Ford, though it’s presumed he’ll star in Marvel’s Thunderbolts too.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier scribe Malcolm Spellman wrote the script for Captain America: New World Order with Dalan Musson. The anticipated sequel marks Mackie’s big-screen debut as Captain America after Sam Wilson assumed the mantle in the Disney+ series.

Harrison Ford is set to star as General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in “Captain America: New World Order” after being heavily rumored for weeks to be taking the role.
Anthony Mackie, who recently took over Captain America’s shield in the Disney+ series in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is set to star in the fourth untitled “Captain America” movie.
Ford takes over the role from William Hurt who passed away earlier this year. In 2008, Hurt joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thunderbolt in “The Incredible Hulk.” He would go on to reprise the role in “Captain America: Civil War” in 2016, with additional cameos in “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Avengers: Endgame” and “Black Widow.”

While gearing up to reprise the role of his Marvel Cinematic Universe hero Sam Wilson – who has now taken on the mantle of Captain America – in Captain America: New World Order, Anthony Mackie has also taken the opportunity to sign on to star in the post-apocalyptic thriller Elevation. Deadline reports that Mackie will be joined in the cast of Elevation by Maddie Hasson (Malignant) and Morena Baccarin (Deadpool).
George Nolfi, who previously worked with Mackie on the films The Banker and The Adjustment Bureau, will be directing Elevation from a screenplay by Kenny Ryan and Jacob Roman. The project is described as being a “high-concept, thematically driven action piece set in the Rocky Mountains”. The story centers on

In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson officially adopted the moniker Captain America. Recently, Marvel Studios’ fearless leader Kevin Feige announced the future projects of the next phases of the MCU. One of them is the new spin-off/sequel, Captain America: New World Order.
Mackie recently spoke with Variety on his new cause and what the future holds for Cap. When asked about how much input he’s able to contribute to the new film, Mackie had this to say,

Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) passed on his shield to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) in Avengers: Endgame, bringing Captain America’s arc to a well-deserved conclusion. The events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier found Wilson taking on the mantle of Captain America as it explored the implications of a Black man being given that role. Anthony Mackie will be bringing his version of Cap to the big screen with Captain America: New World Order, but there are bound to be comparisons between the two heroes.

Legacy is a key part of superhero stories. When one hero falls, another rises to take their place, often adopting the same code name and costume as their predecessor. In Marvel Comics, we’ve seen that when Bucky became Winter Soldier after the death of Steve Rogers or when James Rhodes took over as Iron Man from Tony Stark. Those dynamics are happening in the MCU as well, as actors leave the franchise and others join. We’ve already had a taste of this dynamic with Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson becoming the new Captain America after Chris Evans retired.
But perhaps the most important legacy question surrounds Black Panther. Director Ryan Coogler and MCU boss Kevin Feige were well into planning for the sequel to the blockbuster 2018 movie Black Panther when its main star Chadwick Boseman died. For a moment, some thought Feige and Coogler would recast the part.

The first "Iron Man" changed everything. It revived Robert Downey Jr.'s career, and launched what has become the biggest movie franchise of all time. But as big and successful as the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become, and as good as it is at bringing comics to the screen, it is easy to forget just how grounded that first "Iron Man" really was. Like most comic book movies of the '00s, it desperately wanted to appear as if it was set in the real world, and not in a comic book world, it was serious with a capital S, it placed a big importance on making sure the suit felt "realistic" and avoided the weirder and more fantastical aspects of the comics. Sure, it starred a billionaire playboy with a metal suit that could fly, but it didn't really telegraph that it was set in a world that would...

The series stars Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, a 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk. The series has received plenty of praise from audiences, including a few of She-Hulk’s fellow members of the MCU. The Falcon and the Winter Solider star Anthony Mackie told IMDb just how great he thinks the She-Hulk series is.

People have been defending Anthony Mackie, aka Sam Wilson, aka the new Captain America, since The Falcon and The Winter Soldier came out on Disney+, and it’s fair to say that such a strong defense isn’t unwarranted, but it’s not really needed. You might ask why, but the hope is that you’ll figure it out quickly, and it’s because Disney is going to do what it wants without taking into account the displeasure or approval of the fans since The Last Jedi is still proof of this.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has bestowed upon us a number of beloved pairings. There's Steve Rogers/Peggy Carter, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, and Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson. Of course, there are others that don't include Captain America too. For instance, thanks to "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law," we can add Wong and Madisynn King to the list of Marvel's fan-favorite duos.
Benedict Wong and Patty Guggenheim's characters from the fourth episode of the Jade Giantess' Disney+ series were brought together thanks to the second rate magic of Donny Blaze. But thanks to a mutual love of "The Sopranos" and froyo, Madisynn and Wongers became fast friends. We even saw them start a new show together in the post-credits scene for the episode titled "Is This Not Real Magic?"
But the most interesting part about these besties is that their friendship didn't originally extend past the credits. This relationship between the...

Nelson’s The Leader was last seen in the 2008 film “The Incredible Hulk” as Samuel Sterns, beginning his transformation into the iconic Hulk villain.
As the “New World Order” team took the stage, director Julius Onah called the film a “paranoid thriller.”
