The second season of Tokyo Vice recently concluded, and it’s been officially confirmed that this will be the show’s final chapter on Max. The producers made this announcement during the Produced By conference in Los Angeles. The Journey to the Finale Initially pitched as a two-season show, the events wrapped up with the April 4 finale aptly named “Endgame.” Ansel Elgort, who played journalist Jake Adelstein, had signed on for these two seasons from the beginning. Reflecting on this journey, Alan Poul and Jt Rogers expressed their gratitude: Over the last five years, Max has made sure we got to...

Avengers: Endgame sits at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes with more than 550 reviews. However, with many critics turning on superhero movies in recent years, there's been an increase in "superhero fatigue" talk and a general, often overly harsh, criticism of the genre.
However, one person who won't put up with the 2019 movie being torn down in any way is singer and talk show host Kelly Clarkson.
In a new video posted on The Kelly Clarkson Show's YouTube channel, the American Idol winner responds to negative Letterboxd reviews. In the case of Avengers: Endgame, she was having none of it.
"Who gave this a bad review?" Clarkson wondered before mocking critics: "'Ugh, it’s just these big epic Marvel things. These big epic superhero movies.' Fans love them. Not everything has to be Shawshank Redemption. Whatever."
The review also referenced Martin Scorsese's scathing assessment of comic book adaptations to which Clarkson said,...

Max has done it again. The Warner Bros. Discovery streamer has canceled another one of their masterful, underappreciated shows, this time the enthralling, cross-cultural crime period piece “Tokyo Vice.” The news was announced at the PGA’s Produced By conference by the show’s creator and executive producer J.T. Rogers and executive producer and director Alan Poul during a panel with Max original programming chief, Sarah Aubrey.
Despite the series’ short run, the panelists indicated that this was a mutual decision.
“We’re grateful not only to Max, but to our partners Fifth Season, who sold the show around the world, and made it a global success story,” Rogers and Poul wrote in join statement shared by Variety. “They were in the trenches with us always, guaranteeing that we could make the show we wanted to make. The response from both the press and from fans, in particular to Season 2, has been overwhelming.

It’s always fun to hear your favorite filmmakers talk about the nitty-gritty details of your favorite film. And if you are a fan of the superhero genre, you certainly cannot help yourself from wondering what went through Zack Snyder’s mind when he was making Ben Affleck’s Justice League. In an interview with the Russo Brothers, the filmmaker talked about everything from his vision to his process regarding his version of Justice League.

Among all the movies Marvel Studios has lined up, the ‘Avengers’ series stands out as the most thrilling. With two new ‘Avengers’ films in the works, the journey towards the fifth installment has been quite eventful lately.
Majors was let go in December of last year following allegations of assault against his ex-girlfriend, casting some uncertainty over the direction of the movie. The film’s title shifted from ‘Kang Dynasty’ to ‘Avengers 5,’ and it’s unclear if Kang remains the primary antagonist.
New reports from Alex Perez’s Discord Ama suggest that ‘Avengers 5’ will explore a multiverse theme with a down-to-earth plot. It seems like the movie might split into two parts, exploring elements from the ‘Avengers Assemble/Avengers: Forever’ event. This storyline involves a Multiversal Council of Mephisto variants known as the Council of Red, Multiversal Masters of Evil, and an Avengers team-up to save existence. This...

Out of all the movies on Marvel Studios’ release schedule, the ‘Avengers’ franchise is undoubtedly the most exciting one. We know that two new ‘Avengers’ movies are in development, and when it comes to the fifth installment in the franchise, we’ve been through a lot in the last few months.
Majors’ was fired back in December after being found guilty of third-degree assault against his former girlfriend, and since then, the direction of the movie is confusing, to say the least. The movie internally changed its name from ‘Kang Dynasty’ to ‘Avenger 5,’ and we can’t even be sure that Kang is the main villain still.
Some new reports however have surfaced via Alex Perez’s discord Ama which claim that the movie will focus on a multiversal story with grounded story.
It sounds like ‘Avengers 5’ might explore the multiverse, possibly splitting into two parts with a grounded storyline.

Every year, rumors resurface about the development of the ‘World War Hulk’ movie. These speculations have persisted for years with no apparent resolution. Recently, Ruffalo confirmed that the studio never intended to give him a solo movie, largely due to complex rights issues stemming from a decade-long struggle with Universal.
In his Discord Ama, Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez revealed that the studio is gradually laying the groundwork for the ‘World War Hulk’ storyline, albeit in a manner that diverges from fan expectations. This approach seems logical, especially if Hulk cannot have a standalone project; the narrative would need to encompass multiple characters and various projects.
According to Alex Perez, the studio has been laying the groundwork for the “World War” storyline. This narrative has been unfolding across various projects, including ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home,’ ‘WandaVision,’ ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,’ ‘Black Widow,’ ‘Eternals,’ ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home,’ ‘Ms. Marvel,...

A recent rumor claimed that Jordan Peele met with Marvel Studios about potentially taking the helm of an upcoming movie, and we may now know which project he was speaking to Kevin Feige and co. about.
Though it took some convincing (and a few quid from his patrons), Jeff Sneider revealed the name of the film during the latest episode of The Hot Mic, and, as many speculated, it was indeed the long-awaited X-Men reboot.
Unfortunately, it sounds like things didn't work out.
Sneider heard that he took the meeting a few weeks ago, and isn't actually sure if he was being eyed to director or write. Since then, we got word that the movie has enlisted a writer in the form of Michael Lesslie (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes; 2016's Assassin’s Creed movie).
This doesn't mean Peele won't return to the project down the line...

While the entirety of 2010s saw Marvel dominating the box office with each of their releases, since Endgame, reception to their output has been pretty mixed. Although the cinematic giant witnessed great highs with No Way Home and Guardians 3, the studio has also experienced its fair share of lows, especially with The Marvels, which became a historic bomb.
But it seems The Marvels‘ failure hasn’t impacted MCU’s plan for its upcoming Young Avenger film, and fans aren’t too thrilled by the recent update on its production.

Despite their monumental success with Marvel’s Avengers films, the Russo Brothers admire the creator of the DC Extended Universe Zack Snyder for his approach to visualizing his movies. Having worked under the MCU and DC, respectively, both the filmmaking duo and Snyder are renowned for their contributions to comic book movies.

However, their approach to bringing their vision to the screen differs significantly. Snyder prefers to visualize the story through detailed storyboards, a skill that the Avengers: Endgame filmmakers couldn’t help but envy.

As we ride the high-octane anticipation wave towards the Deadpool & Wolverine release, the Marvel universe seems to be reverberating its on-screen drama behind the curtains, with Deadpool’s very own co-creator Rob Liefeld stirring the social media pot on the platform formerly known as Twitter. His recent outpouring of frustration regarding a rocky Disney relationship sends us the vital message that all is not calm in the superhero playground.

“The Truth is… I Am Iron Man”. The iconic line for Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark kick-started the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the first Iron Man movie back in 2008. Ever since the franchise evolved and expanded beyond comprehension and currently stands as one of the most star-studded ones in Hollywood. However, the biggest pull and win for this new connected universe truly came with 2012’s The Avengers and its subsequent iterations.

Will the Original Avengers Assemble Again? Jeremy Renner Reacts to Potential Reunion(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Following Jonathan Majors’ dismissal in December due to allegations of third-degree assault against his former partner, the film’s direction has become uncertain.

Much of the plot remains shrouded in mystery
‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ was intended to debut Kang the Conqueror into the MCU and position him as the primary antagonist for the forthcoming phases, akin to Thanos.

Exclusive: As Deadpool & Wolverine tracks huge ahead of its July 26 release and looms as a summer box office savior, we can reveal that director Shawn Levy is the top choice and is having early conversations to direct another Marvel Studios pic — the next Avengers movie.
Deadline hears that Levy has been given the latest script by Michael Waldron, though sources add that he has not given an answer on whether he will take the job, and the studio is still planning to meet with other directors while they wait on a decision from him.
Marvel Studios could not be reached for comment.
We can’t say for sure that Levy will take the job; he expects to be heavily involved as a director and executive producer of the final season of Netflix’s signature series Stranger Things, and there is also a Star Wars film in his future. Still,...

With a career spanning nearly half a century, Paul Newman has starred in some truly memorable films including Cool Hand Luke and The Hustler. The late actor left a lasting impression with his work and continues to be celebrated as one of the finest talents in the industry.

And the finest star also had some of the finest possessions, whose worth could easily eclipse that of the biggest Hollywood stars. One such exclusive thing in the late actor’s collection included a Rolex Daytona, which has been reported to be more valuable than the earnings of some Avengers: Endgame cast members.

Marvel has not been doing well in recent years. Their last film, “The Marvels,” was destroyed at the box office, and early test screenings of “Captain America 4” were reportedly not good. After the poor reception, rumors swirled about reshoots. Now, it seems that reshoots are coming, and they are also adding Giancarlo Esposito to the film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Esposito appears on the reshoots call sheet. We don’t know much about the character he is playing, but we do know that he’s playing a villain. We also know that the reshoots will last 22 days and include some action sequences.
The film was originally shot last spring, and here we are a year later, doing reshoots. They wrapped shooting ahead of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Reportedly, reshoots were pushed back due to the strikes, as was the release date. Originally, the film was to...

Avengers: Endgame is one of the greatest Marvel movies ever to be made. Not only did it perfectly bring together all the different characters in one space without feeling like clutter, but presented a conclusive end to the decades-long saga. Just when all hope seemed lost, the movie proved that there is always a bigger picture hidden in plain sight and that one only needs to look for it.

In the case of Endgame, our heroes traveled back in time to find the lost hope. An exceptionally thrilling narrative that allows us to revisit some of our favorite moments, it was actually one Harry Potter book/movie that inspired the writer to introduce the time heist in the MCU.

“How could you?” That’s the question some of the people closest to Prince Harry asked following his and Meghan Markle’s tell-all 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview. The Duke of Sussex shared how he’d responded in his Spare memoir.
Harry’s family friends and a former nanny asked about the Oprah interview
In Spare, Harry revisited the Oprah interview, writing how he’d fielded questions about it from not only some close friends of his but also friends of the royal family.
They included one of Hugh and Emilie van Cutsem’s four sons—elsewhere in the book, Harry recalled how he and Prince William would often spend time with the family on school breaks—and Tiggy Pettifer, he and the now-Prince of Wales’ “favorite” nanny growing up.

Warning: This Inside No. 9 review contains spoilers.
He woke up, right? He opened his eyes, the light went from red to green and the door noise sounded, which means that he woke up. Didn’t he? Jason opened his eyes, the exit light went from red to green and the door noise sounded, which means that he definitely, definitely woke up. For absolute clarity, what we just watched in the final moments of that tense episode was Jason awaken from his coma to reunite with his family, and what we absolutely didn’t watch was his brain making desperate attempts to cling on to life while his devastated loved ones unwittingly killed him. Right?
Good. Phew. Imagine! The alternative would have been so sad. Who’d write something as dark as that?!
Inside No. 9’s Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton would, of course, and would likely crack a rib laughing about it too.

Robert Downey Jr.’s biggest comeback was also the savior of Marvel Studios. The actor made his MCU debut with Iron Man and it was a hammer on the nail gaining widespread attention from the global audience. Downey’s Iron Man gave the studio an absolute boost propelling it to the road of success.

While the studio lacked faith in the movie and the actor, director Jon Favreau could somehow convince the producer to move forward with the narrative with Downey. Following the success of the movie, there was room for more sequels and Downey’s Iron Man movies came to be one of the most remarkable franchises in the MCU.

Jeremy Renner has consistently been the unsung hero in some of cinema’s most monumental franchises, be it Bourne or the Mission: Impossible series, he has always been the underrated part. While many may overlook his contributions, Renner’s portrayal of William Brandt in Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation was unforgettable.

Now that she is older, he finds himself in a place where he can comfortably jump back into the mix of the action-packed world of the franchise. The anticipation among fans for his return is through the roof, with many eagerly awaiting his comeback and the potential impact he’ll bring to the saga.

5 years before ‘Infinity War’ was released, in 2013 to be more exact Patton Oswalt improvised a series of lines regarding the Mc. The character played by Oswalt in ‘Parks and Recreation’ who goes under the name Garth Blundin reveals his Marvel/Star Wars crossover fan fiction in an attempt to stop Leslie Knope from changing Pawnee’s laws.
Although the scene, performed by Patton Oswalt in April 2013, was entirely improvised, Oswalt’s character correctly predicted that the MCU would feature Thanos gathering the Infinity Stones to battle the Avengers.
Now Oswalt appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! several days ago and commented on the fact that he predicted some of the things:
Some things weirdly came true; some on purpose, some by accident.(…) They had not done ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ . When I say Time Gem, they cut to Chris Pratt. This was way before he did ‘Guardians’ .Also, Amy has the...

In Marvel Comics, the Hulk has had a ton of variants ranging from the fiercest one who can destroy universes to the smart one who thinks rationally and decides to merge with Bruce Banner on an agreeable settlement, as was seen in Avengers: Endgame. However, bringing them out to live-action isn’t the easiest of tasks, and even Smart Hulk garnered some negative publicity.

This negative publicity started from the fact that the way Banner was directly shown as the result of his getting merged with his angry alter-ego to become the Smart giant in green instead of showing just how this tremendous transformation took place. That said, had the Russo Brothers not ignored one crucial scene with Mark Ruffalo, this new transition would have arguably been a lot less messy.

Chris Hemsworth became a household name with the role of Thor the God of Thunder in the MCU. Since 2011, the Aussie powerhouse has been wowing audiences with his charm, talent, and of course, good looks. But his good looks came into question when the actor had to become fat Thor for Avengers: Endgame.

After the failure of the Avengers in trying to save the world from Thanos, while all the Og Avengers took it hard having lost some of their closest loved ones along with half the universe’s population, it was Hemsworth’s Thor who underwent the most drastic change. From the chiseled abs, Thor had a beer belly after depression hit him hard and knocked him onto the couch, with seemingly no way to get up (or out) of it. And that almost gave the actor some serious injury.

At the end of the 2018 superhero blockbuster "Avengers: Infinity War," a concerned environmentalist named Thanos (Josh Brolin) amasses six magical gems that, when assembled, granted the possessor omnipotence. Thanos, perhaps uncreatively, only wishes that half of the universe be instantly wiped out, believing that a halving of the population would be a dandy way to preserve natural resources. Thanos snaps his fingers and kills half of the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They melt into flakes of ash.
In the sequel, 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," five years have passed and everyone is indeed united, although in utter depression. The Avengers were unable to prevent mass death and have retired in shame. Meanwhile, the Asgardian Thor (Chris Hemsworth) has taken to lounging about a hut playing video games and overeating. This has led to him gaining a lot of weight. The other heroes mock his size and point out that he...

One of the problems with wanting to finally jump into enjoying a franchise is the homework. You have to know how this guy met that dude, why this fight has more emotional heft over another and on and on. And if the timeline itself jumps around and you’re trapped in different multiverses, it just adds to the complications. This is certainly the case with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has 30+ films and more than a dozen TV series in or planned for Phases Four and Five alone, making it quite the daunting task to try to catch up and understand everything that’s going on. But now Marvel is looking to make that a bit easier for viewers, ensuring they can make the leap into the franchise wherever they want.

Marvel Exec Explains the Return of Marvel Television Banner for MCU Shows - Main Image
Marvel Studios recently announced that they are bringing back the "Marvel Television" banner for the upcoming MCU shows.
For the past few years, we've seen the MCU franchise expand to television as they are producing projects for Disney+ that are still part of the same universe as the big-screen releases.
However, the TV expansion has also added some confusion for the audience as they now feel that they are obligated to watch them in order to understand the other MCU releases, especially on the theatrical side.
Now, Marvel Studios has come up with a new banner that addresses the issues on its TV output.

“We want to make sure that Marvel stays an open door for people to come in and explore,” Winderbaum told Comic Book. “On the heels of Endgame, I think there was, maybe, a little bit of an obligation to watch absolutely everything in order to watch anything.”
Winderbaum continued, “As you know, as a comics fan, they’re designed to just pop in, find something that you like, and use that to enter you into the universe, and then you can explore and weave around based on your own preferences.”

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has long been a juggernaut among huge franchises, perhaps trailing only behind the legendary Star Wars saga. With its intricate web of characters, intertwining storylines, and hidden Easter eggs, the MCU has certainly captivated audiences worldwide. However, for newcomers, this journey can feel a bit daunting.

George Clooney has been many things in his career, an Oscar-winning actor and producer, a nominated director, and a humanitarian. However, one thing he could not pull off was being a successful Batman. While he was perfect on paper for the role of the vigilante, the odds were stacked against him as he was cast in Joel Schumacher’s Batman & Robin.
The film has received extremely negative reviews and led to the reboot of the franchise with Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins. However, the actor seems to have found one fan in Josh Brolin, who played Cable in Deadpool 2 and Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. He was reportedly also up for Batman in the Dceu, which Ben Affleck played.

The MCU boasts a vast array of over 30 movies, with over 10 currently in production or rumored. However, this extensive content library doesn’t even include live-action TV shows, which have significantly enriched the MCU universe.
This proliferation of content has posed challenges for fans, particularly newcomers or those wishing to skip certain projects.
It’s absurd that understanding one reference or a post-credit scene in a Disney+ show often requires viewing five movies. However, that was the studio’s initial goal. As financial pressures mounted, adjustments became necessary. A major shift was the launch of the Marvel Spotlight brand. These shows aim for a more character-driven, mature narrative, with higher ratings, purportedly eliminating the need for prior MCU viewing.
The debut Marvel Spotlight series, ‘Echo,’ while intended to stand alone, still heavily references ‘Daredevil’ and ‘Hawkeye.’ Yet, even without watching these, viewers could navigate ‘Echo’ with a bit of online research.

MCU has over 30 movies under its umbrella, and more than 10 are currently in production or rumored to be in production, this massive amount of content however does not include live-action TV shows, which significantly expanded MCU.
This was starting to become a problem for fans, especially fans that are just now trying to “get into” the MCU, or fans who simply wanted to avoid some projects, not particularly interested in characters that were carrying them.
It seems ridiculous that you have to watch 5 movies to understand one reference, or post-credit scene in a Disney+ show, but it was what the studio was aiming for. Then, the studio started losing money and some things had to change. One of the biggest changes in this context was the introduction of the Marvel Spotlight brand.

Marvel Television, headed by Jeph Loeb under the watchful eye of Marvel Entertainment Chairman Ike Perlmutter, closed its doors in 2019. At the time, Disney gave full control of the MCU to Kevin Feige, leading to Marvel Studios developing a slate of projects for Disney+.
While Marvel Television made a lot of missteps (we recently broke many of them down here), Marvel Studios quickly learned that developing TV shows wasn't as easy as they might have believed.
Approaching them like movies with "Head Writers" in place of showrunners (and pricey reshoots which fixed glaring issues in post-production) has forced them to go back to the drawing board. Following Daredevil: Born Again's creative overhaul, future small screen projects will be made like traditional TV shows.
They'll also be released under the returning "Marvel Television" banner, a move which shocked fans earlier this week. Talking to ComicBook.com, Marvel Studios Head of TV,...

Jeremy Renner’s debut as Hawkeye in the MCU timeline began when he first appeared as Clint Barton in a brief role in 2011’s Thor. Thereafter, becoming a member of the Avengers, Hawkeye appeared in a bunch of Marvel movies. Remaining one of the three original Avengers in the MCU after Endgame, besides Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, Renner went on to lead his own MCU project as Clint Barton.
Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton in Hawkeye
While the other original Avengers got solo movies, Jeremy Renner starred in Disney’s Hawkeye. Released in 2021, the show earned a raging 7.5 IMDb rating with just one season. Now, following the commercial success of the show, it has been rumored that Hawkeye will return with a second season, where Clint Barton’s brother, Barney, will make his on-screen debut and have a major role. But who exactly is Barney Barton?...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the biggest franchises of all time. Having started with Iron Man, the MCU has recently been witnessing a decline in quality despite an abundance of quantity. Ever since the Avengers: Endgame and the exit of major actors and characters, Marvel Studios has failed to live up to its prior hype and image.

Despite assurances that things would improve, it was in 2023 that the MCU had its lowest-grossing movie ever, The Marvels. And after a 2024 The Hollywood Reporter story had a source say that Marvel Studios is not giving up, Kevin Feige finally seems to have taken a step in the right direction. At the recently-held Disney’s Upfront presentation, Marvel Studios restored Marvel Television directly under it, after shutting it down back in 2019.

Robert Downey Jr. served as the face of one of the most lucrative superhero franchises in cinema history. But even in the middle of his run as Iron Man, he wondered if the superhero genre was starting to wear thin.

The concern for superhero fatigue has grown recently, thanks to the critical and commercial disappointments of certain superhero films. Some have pointed to Marvel’s most recent flicks as evidence of the concept. An argument can be made that Marvel’s content doesn’t resonate with audiences like it used to. But even during the peak of Marvel’s success, Downey seemed to feel fatigue was setting in.
“Honestly, the whole thing is just showing the beginning signs of fraying around the edges,” Downey said in a 2014 interview with The Telegraph.

Before crafting the likes of Thanos and Killmonger, who are often considered some of the top Cbm villains, the MCU often struggled to get their villains right, which was apparent in their initial phases. However, the biggest exception during the cinematic giant’s early years was Red Skull, played by Hugo Weaving, who did an impeccable job playing the Hydra head.
Unfortunately, despite having a blast playing the character, Weaving didn’t return to reprise the role in Avengers: Infinity War and was replaced by The Walking Dead star Ross Marquand. Although The Matrix star has cited paycheck disputes as the reason for not returning in Infinity War and Endgame, economics doesn’t seem to be the lone reason behind his absence.

Released in theaters on May 2, 2022, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness marked Sam Raimi's triumphant return to the world of superhero cinema after previously helming Tob Maguire's Spider-Man trilogy.
The film was generally praised by fans and critics alike, on its way to grossing $955.8 million at the global box office.
However, a new report from Forbes raises questions about whether the film was profitable, considering its massive budget.
Previously, it was thought that Disney/Marvel spent $294M to produce the film, however, tax filings that Disney is required to disclose for productions filmed in the U.K. have revealed that Marvel spent £331.9 million or $414.9 million on the Doctor Strange sequel.
Given that box office revenue is split 50/50, Marvel pocketed ~$477.9 million after sharing ticket sales with theater owners, and that doesn't include what Marvel spent on P&a costs.

Chris Hemsworth Once Addressed Tom Hiddleston’s Character Loki’s Absence from Thor: Love And Thunder (Photo Credit – IMDb)
For several years, Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth have entertained us as Loki and Thor in the MCU. Loki died in the MCU more than once, and it sparked hope among fans that he might appear in the 2022 movie Thor: Love and Thunder. Unfortunately, that did not happen, and the Extraction star once, in an interview, spoke about it with director Taika Waititi by his side. Scroll below to get the deets.
For the unversed, Tom initially auditioned for the role of Thor but ultimately landed in the God of Mischief’s role. The audience loved him so much that he became a part of the MCU. After appearing in the Thor movie in 2011, Tom’s character was the main villain in The Avengers in 2012. He finally got his own web...

‘X-Men ’97’ was an unexpected hit for Marvel Studios. Following a series of flops in 2023 the studio really needed something to restore at least some of the faith that the franchise could be salvaged from a series of bad stories.
In comes ‘X-Men ’97’ a revival of the old ‘X-Men: The Animated Series.’ Fans were wonderfully surprised when the showrunners managed to keep faithful to the old show with new and modern twists.
One of the most important characters in the first season of the show was of course, Magneto voiced by Matthew Waterson. Matthew recently sat down with Phase Zero to talk about fan response to the show, Magneto stealing Gambit’s girl, and surprisingly, how Magneto would be able to wipe Thanos without too much struggle due to his mutant powers.

‘X-Men ’97’ was a surprising success for Marvel Studios. After several disappointments in 2023, the studio needed something to regain faith in the franchise.
Enter ‘X-Men ’97,’ a revival of the classic ‘X-Men: The Animated Series.’ Fans were pleasantly surprised as the showrunners stayed true to the original while adding modern twists.
One of the big players in the first season of the show was definitely Magneto, voiced by Matthew Waterson. Matthew chatted with Phase Zero about how fans reacted to the show, Magneto’s romantic entanglements, and even how Magneto could take on Thanos pretty easily thanks to his mutant abilities. They also asked if he’d be into crossing over with other MCU stuff, and his response was pretty cool.

Being one of the MCU’s beloved characters, Captain America has been involved in numerous projects. Currently, there’s a movie in the works centered on Sam Wilson’s Captain America, slated for release in 2025. Additionally, recent rumors suggest that Chris Evans’s Captain America may come out of retirement.
Reportedly, Chris Evans is set to return in a limited series that follows Captain America’s journey to return the Infinity Stones to their rightful places in time, as per MyTimeToShineHello.
The concept does seem intriguing, especially considering that the process depicted in the movies was glossed over and rushed. This rumor gains further traction from other recent reports suggesting that Evans has already signed on to reprise his former role.

As one of the most popular MCU characters, Captain America has quite a few projects under his belt. There’s a movie currently in production revolving around Sam Wilson’s Captain America, bound to be released in 2025. And, if the latest rumors are to be trusted, Chris Evan’s Captain America will be pulled out of his retirement as well.
According to MyTimeToShineHello, Chris Evans will be returning to a limited series focused on Captain America returning Infinity Stones to their proper place in time.
The concept does sounds intriguing since the process we’ve seen in the movies was simply glossed over and rushed. The rumor is further supported by other recent rumors that Evans has apparently already signed an agreement to return to his former role.

Rumour has it Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever director Ryan Coogler is being eyed to helm both Black Panther 3 and Marvel Studios' eventual X-Men reboot.
It's an exciting prospect given what a talent the filmmaker is, but one The DisInsider may have thrown cold water on. According to the site, Coogler is on a shortlist to helm both Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars.
While the post's author believes he'd likely direct only one of them, they also suggest the director could pass the reigns of Black Panther 3 to someone else to focus on Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Still, we'd bet on Marvel Studios wanting a single filmmaker for the next Avengers movies as, like Infinity War and Endgame, they could then be shot back-to-back (surely a necessity when they're being released only one year apart).
We'll see what happens, but Coogler directing Avengers 5 or Avengers: Secret Wars...
