Earlier today, we got word that Deadpool and Wolverine will be available to purchase on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on October 22 following its Digital debut on Oct. 1, but the Merc With a Mouth and Logan haven't finished slicing and dicing the box office just yet.
Shawn Levy's film had a phenomenally successful run (it's now the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time), and is still breaking records over two months since it hit theaters.
The superhero team-up recently passed Avengers' $622 million domestic haul to become the fifth-biggest comic book movie ever in the U.S., and has now climbed higher in the ranks of the highest-grossing movies of all time worldwide.
Having officially grossed $1.31 billion globally, D&W has passed Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom to become the 21st highest-grossing movie ever. Can it possibly take in another $20 million to pass Star Wars: The Last Jedi and enter...

Anthony and Joe Russo, the Russo Brothers, have directed some of the biggest movies of all time, with their film Avengers: Endgame coming in second place just behind James Cameron’s Avatar… but that hasn’t made it any easier to get their sci-fi adventure film The Electric State out into the world. The project was first announced back in 2017 and experienced multiple ups, downs, and behind-the-scenes shake-ups on its way to production, with filming beginning in 2022 and wrapping in early 2023. Reshoots followed in 2024. Now it looks like The Electric State might finally be ready to make its way out into the world, so we figure it was time to put together a list of Everything We Know About The Electric State:

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Scarlet Witch, Elizabeth Olsen has earned herself a legion of fans (she's also earned the title of "mother" among her biggest devotees...don't ask!).
This version of the Wanda Maximoff debuted in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron thanks to a complicated rights loophole which saw Marvel Studios also allowed to use the mutant and her brother Pietro/Quicksilver due to their history with the team.
Despite losing her mutant status, in the years that have followed, the Scarlet Witch has become a key part of this shared world. That was evident from her role in movies like Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.
Later, she took centre stage in WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Controversially, the latter left the hero's fate very much up in the air and Wanda hasn't been seen since; on the plus side, rumours of a solo outing persist,...

“Dance with the devil… and he’ll follow you home.”
The first trailer for Black Panther director Ryan Coogler's latest collaboration with actor Michael B. Jordan has been released, and it's not quite what we were expecting!
In Sinners, Jordan plays twin brothers in the Jim Crow-era Deep South who decide to leave their troubled lives behind by returning to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
The trailer suggests that the brothers will come up against some kind of dark supernatural force, but there's no real indication that either of them - or the threat they face - are vampires, which was previously rumored.
It's entirely possible that Warner Bros. is attempting to keep this particular plot point under wraps, but there's also a chance these early reports were not accurate.

A recent rumor claimed to reveal the title of Black Panther director Ryan Cooger's mysterious vampire movie starring Killmonger actor Michael B. Jordan, and Warner Bros. has now confirmed that the project is indeed called Sinners.
We also have a brief teaser, and while it doesn't feature any footage from the movie, but the first proper trailer will be online at some point tomorrow.
You can check out the logline below, which confirms that Jordan will play twin brothers.

Almost everyone in Hollywood has participated, or at least been reported to be participating, in a superhero property. It's simply the latest big trend that employs everyone in a union (unless you're a VFX worker), just like crime procedurals employed every actor who later broke big once upon a time. Whether a celebrated and legendary actor like Harrison Ford, or an indie director like Ryan Coogler, no one is safe from the superhero movie industrial complex.
The latest beloved actor to join a superhero franchise is Kyle Chandler, the greatest dad actor, who has been tapped to star as Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern TV series that is part of James Gunn's fledgling DC universe. Accepting the responsibility of the Power Ring and fight for the Green Lantern Corps, Chandler reportedly beat rumored contenders for the role like Josh Brolin. The Green Lantern TV show is set to...

Tara Strong's Miss Minutes became an instant hit with fans when she first appeared in Loki season 1, but it was the finale's jump scare in The Citadel at the End of Time which left a lasting impression.
Established as a villain serving He Who Remains, the Time Variance Authority's mascot became a full-blown antagonist in season 2 and went off the deep end when she confessed her love to Victor Timely. Created by Kang as his A.I. assistant, Miss Minutes eventually turned on her master but was then reset by O.B. and essentially restored to factory settings.
We last saw her back to helping out the Tva, though there were still some questions about whether she could be trusted. With Mr. Paradox going into business for himself in Deadpool & Wolverine, there was no sign of Miss Minutes there...a shame when you think about how fun those character interactions would have been!

At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios announced that Avengers: The Kang Dynasty Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars will star Robert Downey Jr. as the McU's Doctor Doom.
The news has received something of a mixed response from fans, though this is one heck of a pivot from Marvel Studios given the difficult position Kevin Feige and company found themselves in with Kang the Conqueror and Jonathan Majors.
Today, Hot Toys has unveiled a new Doctor Doom 1/6th scale figure taking inspiration from the comic books rather than a live-action adaptation. It doesn't appear to be based on any one artist's work and, instead, is an amalgamation of Dooms with a little MCU flare thanks to those spells he's casting.
We have no idea what Downey's Victor Von Doom will look like on screen; for all we know, Avengers: Doomsday will give us just the Infamous Iron Man!

Here's When Scarlet Witch Will Make MCU Comeback According to New Rumor - Main Image
As MCU fans are fully convinced that the franchise is planning to resurrect Wanda Maximoff one way or another, a new rumor suggests that the upcoming fifth Avengers film could lead to a potential Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom team-up.
Scarlet Witch's Rumored Return Sparks Theories of Team-Up with Doctor Doom
Ever since Agatha All Along premiered, fans have been wondering whether we'll ever see the Harbinger of Chaos grace the screens of Marvel again.
Now, a new rumor suggests that we won't just witness her highly anticipated comeback, but even potentially return as one of the main villains of the story again. This time, with the likes of Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom.

Hot Toys Celebrates The Amazing Spider-man With Spectacularly Detailed New 1/6th Scale Action Figure
Hot Toys has just shared photos of a new 1/6th scale action figure based on Andrew Garfield's likeness in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man.
Following the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, Hot Toys dropped a version of Garfield's web-slinger, though that was an overhauled re-issue of a previously released figure for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Given the difference between that costume and what he wore in The Amazing Spider-Man, we're sure this will be a must-have for many collectors.
If you were part of this site in the early 2010s, we're sure you'll remember the backlash this suit faced; the golden lenses were problematic for some, though the aesthetic of Spidey not having a "belt" around his waist was massively off-putting for many fans. Then, there was the fact the hero was wearing sneakers!

A few months ago, we reported a rumor about a specific Captain America project in development.
According to a well-known leaker, a limited series centered on Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers was being planned. The series would focus on Captain America’s journey to return the Infinity Stones to their rightful places in time after the events of the Time Heist.
Some fans speculated that this show could be connected to the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars. Those unhappy with Sam Wilson taking on the Captain America mantle have been calling for Chris Evans’ return. However, Endgame left few options for reintroducing the character, aside from a variant version.
This limited series could satisfy a vocal segment of the community and would make narrative sense, as it would explore events before Steve Rogers created the alternate timeline.
Since then, we hadn’t heard much about the show and assumed the rumor was largely unfounded.

A couple of months ago we reported on a rumor that one very specific Captain America project was in development. According to popular leaker and scooper, a limited series following Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers was in development.
The show would follow Captain America as he returns the Infinity Stones back to their proper place in time following the Time Heist.
Some believed that this show was linked to the upcoming ‘Avengers: Secret Wars.’ Some who are unhappy with Sam Wilson taking on the mantle have been calling for Evans’ comeback. However, ‘Endgame’ didn’t leave many options for reintroducing the character, except through a variant version.
This limited show would make sense to appease quite the vocal part of the community, and it would make sense from a narrative point since the show would be taking place in the past before Steve Rogers decided to create the alternate timeline.

Much has been said about Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man 4 plans in recent weeks, with all signs now pointing to us seeing Tom Holland's Peter Parker finally meet Tom Hardy's Venom to battle Knull.
The deal between the two studios fell apart during production of Spider-Man: Far From Home and, for a time, it looked like Sony would make a third movie without any input from Kevin Feige (something tells us that wouldn't have ended well).
Fan backlash thankfully changed things, but at least part of the reason No Way Home ended the way it did is because no one was quite sure whether we'd see Holland in the MCU again. Plus, no longer under contract, Holland repeatedly cast doubt on his future as the character in general.
Scooper Daniel Richtman has chimed in today to reveal that plans for the hero extend well beyond Spider-Man 4.

Avengers: Doomsday is probably the most anticipated movie on the Hollywood horizon right now. The Marvel Cinematic Universe spectacle will reunite the core group of heroes from the franchise (which will admittedly be different as three of the originals are no longer there) to take on a threat so large that the fate of the multiverse itself is at stake.
It's a big one! And to contend with that, The Avengers will need a big team, comprised of most of the heroes from the MCU (and perhaps even Marvel heroes from throughout the rest of the multiverse). I mean, they are dealing with Doctor Doom, who just so happens to look exactly like their beloved Iron Man Tony Stark. Yep, Robert Downey Jr. is back in the new role, and the Avengers are going to pull out all the stops to protect the multiverse from Doctor Doom and the dangers he poses.

One of the biggest problems that fans of the MCU have been wondering about is how the superhero franchise plans to inject the mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, given that Disney now has the rights to the characters that Fox Studios previously owned.

There have been a slew of cameos from X-Men actors of the past, belonging to different universes than Earth 199999. Two characters that have distinctly received the mutant label are Namor and Kamala Khan. However, given that the multiverse will probably close up after the Saga ends, the MCU will be hard-pressed to introduce mutants of its own.
This poses a problem to some mutants who have been a part of major world events, such as Magneto. While there are a lot of theories about how the mutants will be integrated into the MCU, one theory has been so off the mark,...

We finally have some new details on Black Panther director Ryan Coogler's mysterious '30s-set vampire movie, which will star Michael B. Jordan in the lead role(s).
Shooting got underway on the project back in April, and some set photos aside, the studio has done a good job of keeping most details relating to the film under wraps... until now.
According to reliable scooper Daniel Richtman, the movie is titled Sinners. We also have a first logline, and it seems the rumor that star Jordan will play twin brothers was accurate.

For a time, it looked like Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was putting all his eggs in a Rick & Morty-shaped basket. He tapped a number of writers from that series to work on the Multiverse Saga, including Jeff Loveness and Michael Waldron.
The former penned Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania before being hired for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, while Waldron was Head Writer on Loki before writing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Feige had so much faith in Waldron that he teamed with him for a Star Wars movie that never happened and even got him to replace Loveness on The Kang Dynasty. However, things have since changed and Waldron's time in the MCU appears to be over.
Despite Loki receiving widespread critical acclaim, it's believed season 2 Head Writer Eric Martin played a much bigger role in that first batch of episodes than originally reported.

The Avengers are preparing to reunite. That's great news for the residents in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the fate of the multiverse will be at stake, and it's going to need Earth's Mightiest Heroes to save it. Yes, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are on the horizon, and they are set to conclude the Multiverse Saga in what will no doubt be epic fashion.
Expectations are high for both movies, and they increased a great deal when it was announced that Robert Downey Jr. will return to the franchise in a brand new role. The legendary Academy Award winner will play Doctor Doom, the new villain of the Multiverse Saga and the apparent variant of Tony Stark. Sure, it's not Iron Man, but in a saga that will celebrate all of the Marvel movies from the MCU and beyond, it makes sense that the McU's original star will play a leading role.

In Venom: The Last Dance's final trailer, we caught a first glimpse at Knull, God of the Symbiotes. It's since been reported that Spider-Man 4 will bring Eddie Brock into the MCU for the two iconic characters to battle the King in Black.
Nothing is confirmed as we write this but the news has received a mixed response from fans, particularly when we previously heard the idea was for Spider-Man and Daredevil to square off with The Kingpin.
There are pros and cons to a Spider-Man/Venom movie, yes, but we're choosing to focus on the former today. In this feature, we dive into the reasons why a Symbiotic team-up to battle a Multiversal villain in Knull could be the best possible direction for Destin Daniel Cretton's Spider-Man 4.

The Multiverse Saga is Marvel's current focus, as the franchise continues to highlight the ever-growing world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's not just one world anymore, as there are countless out there, highlighted in projects such as Deadpool and Wolverine, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, What If...?, Loki, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and The Marvels.
Although more multiversal heroes are expected to appear after the saga concludes (Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool are expected to stick around), the ongoing story of the Multiverse Saga is indeed expected to bow out in the same way that its predecessor (the Infinity Saga) did; with two giant-sized Avengers movies. Yep, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars will end that era, but they will also kick off another new one entirely.

We don't know much about what comes next from the McU's new chapter, but there have been...

Sony and Marvel Reportedly Negotiating a New Spider-Man Deal - Main Image
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man has a very weird place in the Marvel universe, in that he’s a character that’s being loaned out to Marvel by Sony Pictures—who owns the rights to Spider-Man and all the characters associated with him.
Though Spider-Man gets to appear in his own movies and make cameos in team-up films like Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, it looks like he could be showing up a bit more down the line—that is, if this rumor turns out to be true.
More Spider-Man in the MCU Thanks to New Sony and Marvel Studios Deal
According to insider Daniel Rpk (via @HollywoodHandle), Sony and Marvel are currently working on a new deal that would ‘allow Spider-Man to appear in other MCU projects’. No furtherdetails have been revealed, but with Holland’s Spider-Man...

We've been waiting for official Spider-Man 4 news since, well, pretty much when Spider-Man: No Way Home was released in 2021. That finally came last week when it was revealed that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton will helm the movie.
Following the revelation that Knull will be unleashed in Venom: The Last Dance, it's been reported that Sony Pictures got its way by making the wall-crawler's next MCU adventure a Multiversal epic co-starring Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock.
Spider-Man: No Way Home grossed just shy of $2 billion, so of course the studio would prefer to reunite Tom Holland's Peter Parker with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men for a team-up with Venom (Marvel Studios' supposed preferred plan was for a streel-level team-up pitting Spidey and Daredevil against The Kingpin).
As disappointed as many of you might be about that change in plans,...

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along.
The first episode of Agatha All Along, much like WandaVision before it, began with an homage to a style of television. Starting out as a procedural drama before shifting into the urban fantasy setting that can be expected from a show like this, the first episode in the series was able to introduce a slew of easter eggs which could lead to some big ramifications for the MCU ahead of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

The first episode of Agatha All Along hinted at the presence of Nicholas Scratch, who is traditionally a villain for the Fantastic Four. Agatha Harkness herself initially made her debut as the governess of Reed Richards and Sue Storms’ eldest child, Franklin Richards. The character was a witch from the beginning, with her son serving...

Anything can happen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Heck, this year proves that more than ever; as the franchise launched its first TV-ma series, its first R-rated movie, and it went all in on witchcraft in the newly-released Agatha All Along. Yep, literally anything.
That's particularly true in the Multiverse Saga, as the franchise has been pulling from projects way before its own existence to facilitate some of the most shocking cameos and appearances you could ever imagine. We saw multiple in Deadpool and Wolverine (and let's not forget about the return of Hugh Jackman as Logan himself!), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and that record-breaking Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The MCU surprises will continue in the run-up to Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, which will bring about the conclusion of the Multiverse Saga arc. It's quite possible that none of those surprises will be as game-changing...

Back in March, after star Florence Pugh shared our first behind-the-scenes look at the movie, Marvel Studios announced a minor but significant change to the title of Thunderbolts* with the addition of a mysterious asterisk.
Fans have been speculating ever since, and the most popular theory seems to be that the characters will ultimately form a completely different team.
Several cast members have been asked about the asterisk, and David Harbour came closest to at least hinting at its significance during a recent interview.
“Yes, they retroactively put the asterisk (in). The asterisk was an idea that that someone had. What can I say that's not going to get me in trouble? The asterisk is very cool. I understand why people might put an asterisk there (laughs) I'm excited for the viewers to see that as well. But I, again, I just can't say anymore.”
Possible spoilers from this point on.

As we have said on more than one occasion, the future of the MCU is finally intriguing once again after the confirmation of Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the franchise. The fans can’t wait to see what will happen to these tales, characters, and films, and while it is unclear how Marvel will make all the connections now that the MCU has taken a hugely multiversal turn, and whether they will be able to craft a compelling tale for the future, the fans are definitely looking forward to it.
The two upcoming Avengers movies – Avengers: Doomsday, hitting theaters in 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars, scheduled to appear in 2027 – are going to be multiversal, and knowing the comic book storylines, the fans can expect utter chaos, especially since new characters will be introduced to the franchise very soon.

The Avengers have been the glue that has held the Marvel Cinematic Universe together since their debut as a team in 2012. The franchise had certainly been doing well prior to that, with standalone movies focused on Iron Man, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor holding their own at the box office. But it was when The Avengers brought those characters (plus Hawkeye and Black Widow) together, that the MCU achieved its first of many billion-dollar success stories.
The fourth film in the Avengers saga, Avengers: Endgame, brought about the end of an era for the Infinity Saga, ending the long-running Thanos arc and gifting fans with one of the greatest cinematic battles of all time. The events of the 2019 movie have rippled through the franchise ever since, particularly because three of the original six Avengers were taken off the board in that film. That leaves Hawkeye, Hulk, and Thor...

Mahershala Ali’s Blade is rumored to be the face of the next big saga in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will focus on the occult and horror side of the Marvel Universe. This is also cited as the reason by fans for the nebulous updates that they have been getting about the film.

While a lot of fans are gunning for Mephistopheles to be the Thanos in this Saga, the immediate first villain that Blade needs to face would have to be closer to home for the character. Therefore, there is a case to be made for Blade’s first antagonist in the Supernatural saga to be Dracula himself.

The Marvels star Brie Larson is set to make her West End Debut with a revival of Sophocles' play, Elektra.
No, this is not based on the Marvel Comics character (obviously), but the heroine of the Greek Tragedy did inspire Frank Miller's Elektra Natchios, who was introduced in the pages of Daredevil back in 1981.
In the play: "Elektra, haunted by her father’s assassination, is consumed by grief; a need for survival; and a thirst for vengeance. When her long lost brother Orestes at last returns, she urges him to a savage and terrifying conclusion."
This adaptation was written by poet Anne Carson, and will be directed by Daniel Fish, whose Broadway and West End productions of Oklahoma! won best musical revival at the Tony and Olivier awards, respectively.
During a recent interview with The Playlist, Larson was asked if a reunion with her The Marvels co-stars Iman Vellani...

With the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, many legacy characters from various Marvel properties have returned to the big screen, and some have even wrapped up their original storylines. While the future looks promising for characters like Deadpool and Wolverine, others, such as Channing Tatum’s Gambit, are still awaiting potential projects. Despite this, there are numerous characters that fans were eager to see but never made it to the movies.
One notable example is Halle Berry, who portrayed Storm for a decade, beginning with X-Men in 2000 and concluding with X-Men: Days of Future Past in 2014.
Berry later revealed that she was enthusiastic about making a cameo appearance and even confirmed this to Blake Lively, Reynolds’ wife. However, it seems Reynolds never reached out to her, leading some fans to speculate that it might be connected to Wesley Snipes’ return as Blade.
Regardless, the Never Let Go star is not dismissing...

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings its Multiverse Saga towards its conclusion, anticipation has once again increased as fans prepare for what the Marvel Studios franchise will throw their way next. We know that Marvel's original star, Robert Downey Jr., will be back for both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, but he won't be bringing Tony Stark back with him. No, he's the saga's new big villain Doctor Doom.
That doesn't mean we won't see some other original Avengers make a comeback to the franchise. Chris Evans has already blessed us with a cameo as Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four, but he's also rumored to make a comeback in his MCU role of Captain America. But that's before the Multiverse Saga concludes.

The Multiverse Saga has been successful in pulling characters from Marvel films of old, those that came before the MCU had cemented itself as the box office juggernaut that it is. Characters like Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, have all entered the MCU as a part of the current saga.
Doctor Doom as he appears in X-Men ’97
Kevin Feige set a precedent with the appearance of Sir Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While the character was played by the X-Men alum, his design was very much based on the appearance of Charles Xavier in X-Men: The Animated Series. This suggests that characters from other mediums can make the jump to live action in lieu of the Multiverse Saga, and there is a perfect version of Doctor Doom that should make the jump.

As The Multiverse Saga marches towards its end with Avengers: Secret Wars, the rumor mill has reported that the MCU might be looking to dive into its horror and supernatural characters after it wraps up its current saga. This has been cited as the reason by the Blade project is taking so much time to get off the ground, given that Marvel Studios allegedly wants the character to be the face of this upcoming saga.

There are some learnings from the Multiverse Saga that the MCU should carry over into the Supernatural Saga. There are also some very fun projects that can make their way into this phase of the MCU. However, newly established characters who are supposed to get their chance to be in the spotlight might fall through the cracks, such that the focus shifts towards other characters that are more horror-oriented in the MCU.

It's an interesting time to be a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The franchise's current Multiverse Saga means that you could very well see different versions of your favorite MCU characters, your favorite actors return in different roles, or your favorite characters from pre-mcu Marvel movies make their presence felt on the franchise. When they say anything can happen in the McU's Multiverse Saga, they may very well mean anything.
We've seen more than enough examples of this in recent years, with Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine in Deadpool and Wolverine, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's returns as their respective Spider-Men in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Patrick Stewart's return as Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness all sending the internet into meltdown. It's truly remarkable what this franchise is capable of at all times, but especially when it comes to moments like that.

That's right, the X-Men's arrivals are on the horizon, as the Marvel Studios franchise has been slowly laying the groundwork for their entrance into the film series throughout the Multiverse Saga, with nods and references to iconic X-Men characters, themes, and storylines along the way.
But the next phase in that plan to introduce the characters will come in the form of a movie. Yes, Marvel Studios is indeed developing an X-Men movie, with a writer already attached to the project. And with Kevin Feige already confirming that the Mutants Era is here, it's only a matter of time until we meet Marvel's Mightiest Mutants in the form of Charles Xavier's team of superheroes.

WandaVision ended with the original Vision, rebuilt by S.W.O.R.D. to do as they command, attempting to kill Wanda Maximoff and his Hex double. The latter seemingly restored his doppelganger's memories during their battle, prompting the "White Vision" to fly away to parts unknown.
Marvel Studios and Marvel Television will continue that story in Disney+'s upcoming Vision series and there's a great deal of intrigue surrounding the project. We know that James Spader will return as Ultron, for example, while it's been widely reported that it will also adapt elements of West Coast Avengers and Tom King's Vision series.

Simu Liu's Shang-Chi will likely appear in at least one of the upcoming Avengers movies, but a recent rumor claimed that the Master of Kung-Fu was originally going to play a major role in The Kang Dynasty prior to the project being revamped.
According to Inverse, "in the original plan for Avengers 5, then called Kang Dynasty, Shang-Chi would've been one of the film's main leads."
With Destin Daniel Cretton at the helm, it wouldn't have been a major surprise if Shang-Chi was a significant part of the plot, and Jeff Sneider has heard that The Kang Dynasty would have "essentially served" as a Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings sequel before Marvel was forced to pivot after Jonathan Majors' firing.
What exactly this would have entailed is not clear, but we assume at least some of the bigger story points from Legend of the Ten Rings would have carried over,...

Oscar Isaac’s upcoming animated film will explore the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. However, the plot of The King of Kings isn’t that simple. Fans found it shocking that the film has a multi-dimensional theme, where author Charles Dickens and his son Walter travel back to different points in Christ’s life. Isaac will play Jesus while Kenneth Branagh takes on the role of Dickens.

Yesterday, we shared the news that Spider-Man 4 may pit Tom Holland's Peter Parker and Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock against Knull, God of the Symbiotes.
The stage for that crossover and clash will reportedly be set in Venom: The Last Dance and, over the past 18 hours, speculation has been running rampant about the threequel's recent New York City reshoots (especially after that big Knull reveal in the final trailer).
The trailers have only shown Mexico and Las Vegas, meaning these scenes are being kept a closely guarded secret and are likely from the later stages of the movie. Then, there's the fact Hardy was in Vegas doing another round of reshoots as recently as this past week.
With Destin Daniel Cretton now confirmed as Spider-Man 4's director, it could make sense for Venom: The Last Dance to undergo a few minor changes that mean it better fits his plans.

Venom: The Last Dance is set to introduce Knull into Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters. The character is one of the most notorious villains of the MCU, with some very heavy hitters as his chief opponents. However, most of these characters are present or impending in the MCU, and not in the little franchise that Sony has built for itself.

So far, the universe that Sony has created has only been loosely connected, and Venom in particular has crossed over into the MCU as well. Given that the company is billing Venom: The Last Dance as the final chapter in the Venom trilogy, it begs the question that has been on the minds of fans ever since Knull was introduced in the trailer: What exactly is Venom 3 setting up?

While an X-Men reboot is (finally) in development, Marvel Studios has also brought several actors from 20th Century Fox's now defunct franchise back to reprise their respective roles in the MCU.
Most recently, Hugh Jackman returned for Deadpool and Wolverine, and we also saw Sir Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Kelsey Grammar as Beast in The Marvels' post-credits scene.
In the stinger, Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) wakes up in a medical lab after getting trapped in an alternate reality following her battle with Dar-Benn to find her late mother, Maria (Lashana Lynch), by her side. Rambeau is overcome with joy, but Maria - who is actually this world's Binary - has no idea who she is.
As Monica's confusion grows, a familiar voice asks "how's our patient," and a comic-accurate, fully CGI take on Hank McCoy, aka Beast, enters the room.

Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom has invited a lot of speculation about how the major Marvel villain will be fleshed out in the MCU with such little time between now and Avengers: Doomsday. However, there is one way in which Doom could milk some of the emotional baggage from Avengers: Endgame and the Infinity Saga, by coming face to face with Chris Evans’ Captain America.

Ever since Avengers: Endgame ended, there has been a demand among fans to see Steve return the stones and Mjolnir to their respective places in the timeline. After that, Steve would settle with Peggy Carter, which means that the character might have lived through some very horrific times in history without having to interfere, which might be a little too out of character for Steve Rogers.

Marvel Studios has made some major missteps during the Multiverse Saga; however, with Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars fast approaching, we're seeing a major course correction and a shift back to quality over quantity.
Daredevil: Born Again underwent a major creative overhaul mid-shoot and Captain America: Brave New World has also undergone extensive reshoots meant to fix what wasn't working.
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, The Leader actor Tim Blake Nelson shared some insights into just how much those have changed what we'll see in theaters next February.
"Well, we’re done. I’ve shot it," he started. "I’ve actually shot it twice because I did it originally a year ago, and then we came back and redid a lot of it at the beginning of it this summer. Every single movie I do hopefully makes me better."
"I’ve probably done about 60 movies in between Hulk and Captain America: Brave New World,...
