The Marvel Cinematic Universe has definitely had its fair share of ups and downs in recent years. However, things seem to be moving towards an upswing, especially with the recent success of Deadpool & Wolverine. Fans are also hyped for the return of Robert Downey Jr. to the Avengers series (albeit as Doctor Doom). Unfortunately for some movie fans, a MCU sequel has just received a disappointing update. This update follows several other disappointing reports that this particular film is no longer on the table. Of course, it’s possible that could change, but given the reception of the potential sequel’s…

Sony still has a few Spider-Man-related movies up their sleeve following the release of Madame Web. In addition to the return of the studio’s popular Venom film franchise, fans can look forward to Kraven the Hunter. A new trailer has just been released for Kraven the Hunter which includes our first look at some major characters including Rhino. Obviously the reception for Sony’s franchise of Spider-Man characters, mostly villains, has been mixed. The Venom film series has performed spectacularly well, while other properties like Madame Web and Morbius have flopped. It remains to be seen which side of the coin…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the most successful film franchise to date. Of course, that doesn’t mean there aren’t critics, and many of those critics include Hollywood’s biggest players. Jamie Lee Curtis shared such criticisms against Marvel’s latest phase, calling it outright “bad,” but now she’s trying to issue an apology to Marvel Studios. As you can see below, the Halloween star participated in a set of trivia questions from MTV. The platform asked Curtis (and numerous others) the following question: “What phase is Marvel in?” Curtis, without missing a beat, simply answers with the following: “Bad.” Accepting both right…

Deadpool & Wolverine wasn’t just about Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman joining the MCU as the titular characters. In fact, the entire film was a send-off for characters that existed prior to the MCU, such as Blade, Elektra, and characters that we didn’t get to see properly introduced like Channing Tatum’s Gambit. Unfortunately, not every such character made the cut for Deadpool & Wolverine, and now we know that includes Ghost Rider as played by Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage played the part of Ghost Rider in two different movies released in 2007 and 2011, respectively. While he hasn’t appeared in…

The MCU was preceded by several stand-alone Marvel adaptations in the 1990s and 2000s, with the Wesley Snipes blockbuster Blade being one such example. Now, twenty years after his last appearance in Blade: Trinity, Wesley Snipes has returned as Blade for the movie Deadpool & Wolverine. Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds is now going one step further, pushing for a “Logan-like” send-off for Wesley Snipes. The idea was pushed by Reynolds in a new tweet the actor made on X. As you can see below, he really emphasizes the importance of Wesley Snipes and his work on the Blade movies. Fans…

Bruce Campbell initially led the Evil Dead film franchise for three installments, followed by a stand-alone 2013 remake, and he later returned for 2015’s series Ash vs Evil Dead. Now, following the success of 2023’s theatrical hit Evil Dead Rise, Bruce Campbell will once again return as Ash for an animated Evil Dead series. While Evil Dead Rise fully opened the door for Evil Dead films that don’t include Bruce Campbell’s Ash, following the formula established by 2013’s Evil Dead, plenty of fans are still eager to see Campbell return. Especially when considering the television series Ash vs Evil Dead,…

It’s been officially announced that a new Disney Plus series has been canceled after airing only one season on their streaming platform. The series, which premiered on the service earlier this year, received a positive reception at the time of its release. As such, it may be a surprise to know that it’s been canceled so early. This information was confirmed by a spokesman for Disney Plus.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is moving away from Jonathan Majors and his role as Kang the Conqueror with the news that Robert Downey Jr. will now be playing Doctor Doom. The new role for Robert Downey Jr., who previously played Iron Man in the massive shared universe, was announced at 2024’s San Diego Comic-Con. He’s set to play the role in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

With so many upcoming Marvel projects on the way, it can be exciting to consider where some fan-favorite characters might appear next. Now one such Marvel actor has teased a big return to the MCU, something that many fans weren’t even sure would ever happen again. The MCU seems to always be adapting and evolving, with some projects being dropped or altered as a result. For example, it seems as though a sequel to Eternals is now off the table, and Avengers: The Kang Dynasty has been turned into Avengers: Doomsday. There are also questions regarding the MCU’s Blade movie…
