1+ week, 1+ day ago (304+ words) Next up is The Fantastic Four's resident hot-head, Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), who, like Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), won't be changing up his previous look too much for his MCU return (he's basically just added a jacket to the costume he donned at the end of First Steps). He does seem to be sporting a slightly longer hairstyle, however. Steve is expected to take up the mantle of Nomad in Doomsday, but he is said to be wearing his civilian cloths (there's a chance he'll don a brand-new costume later in the movie) here, and the magical Asgardian hammer is "cracked." Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars were recently hit with significant delays, with Doomsday now set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars positioned'for December 17, 2027. Both movies'will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago (320+ words) DC Comics and Marvel Comics are charging into the digital frontier with a bold new phase of the historic DC/Marvel crossover initiative that began earlier this year with the publication of Batman/Deadpool #1 by DC'that arrives in comic book stores on November 19'and Deadpool/Batman #1 by Marvel. The publishers have'debuted two new crossover one-shot webcomics, available exclusively on DC Universe Infinite ("DCUI")'and Marvel Unlimited.

4+ day, 18+ hour ago (308+ words) Earlier this week,Disney+ Latin America officiallybeganpromoting Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday on social media by sharing an imageDoctor Doom alongside Franklin Richards from the mid-credits scene of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, with the caption: "The World is Getting Ready for a New Event." Now, we have a third image featuring Sam Wilsonpaying a visit to The Leader on The Raft in Captain America: Brave New World's divisive post-credits tag. These are, of course, the last three theatrically-released Marvel Studios projects, so it should go without saying that thestingers highlighted here will at least partially lay the groundwork for Doomsday. Victor Von Doom's debut and the Fantastic Four arriving to Earth 616 are obviously major events, butSamuel Stern's warning to Wilson is a little more ambiguous. The "others" Sterns is referring to are most likely Doom and whatever forces he's amassed,…...

3+ week, 1+ day ago (444+ words) A major milestone for Earth's Mightiest Heroes calls for the return of one of their mightiest creators.This January, Brian Michael Bendis officially returns to the Marvel Universe in Avengers #34, the landmark 800th issue of the series. The comic, featuringcurrent Avengers creative team, writer Jed MacKay and artist Farid Karami, will includea special 14-page backup story written by Bendis and illustratedby artist Mark Bagley, reuniting the powerhouse pair known for their work together on Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers Assemble. For nearly a decade, Bendis redefined Avengers storytelling, revitalising the franchise for the 21st century. Always at the centre of the Marvel Universe and at the pulse of modern pop culture, his groundbreaking run launched now-classic Marvel events like House of M, Secret Invasion, and Dark Reign, with his transformative work'love it or hate it'on the Marvel mythos is still heavily felt today....

2+ day, 14+ hour ago (143+ words) A cosplayer put together what could be considered a prefect Batman suit, and it proves how well a comic-accurate suit for the Dark Knight could work on screen. On X, cosplayer@ParkerPeterPete posted a picture of himself in a Batman costume of his own creation, identical to the suit Bruce Wayne worein Batman: Year One: That's what Batman needs for future adaptation: A costume that embraces what originated it, but is given room for modifications to feel plausible in live-action. Though there is still no release date for DC Studios'The Brave and the Bold, the Caped Crusader will return to theaters in The Batman Part II, scheduled to arrive on October 1, 2027. What do you think about this Batman: Year One-inspired cosplay? What's been your favorite live-action Batman costume so far? Share your thoughts in the comments!...

2+ week, 5+ day ago (211+ words) As disappointing as it was to learn that Marvel Studios had pushed Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars from their original May 2026 and 2027release dates to December of each year, it should givethe Russos the time they need to get the movies right. It's interesting that reshoots are taking place in the Spring, as that will lead directly into when Avengers: Secret Wars begins filming. Marvel Studios has the next several months to figure out and refine Doomsday, and the reshoots will likely be used to build connectivity between the two movies. It's been widely reported that Avengers: Doomsday's ending isn't set in stone, so we'd expect some crossover in terms of when cameras are rolling to better help that lead directly into Avengers: Secret Wars. Recently, Avengers: Infinity War star Josh Brolin teased his return as Thanos in the upcoming…...

3+ day, 22+ hour ago (532+ words) After much speculation, we may have confirmation that the two heroes will indeed appear in the next two'Avengers features. Forbes published a report regarding the unexpectedly high budget of 2024's Deadpool &'Wolverine. Buried deep within the article, the outlet seemed to'confirm'the return of the characters'for Doomsday and Secret Wars:' "Deadpool and Wolverine are also expected to star in the MCU's next two kid-friendly Avengers movies." In its report, Forbes'pulled several pieces of information from two other outlets'That Park Place and The Standard. However,'the bit'about Wolverine and Deadpool being part of Doomsday'and its follow-up'is only stated by Forbes, which could give'credence to the fact that the site unexpectedly revealed'previously unconfirmed reports. Having said that, it's also possible this may not be a confirmation of any kind. It could simply be that Forbes' statement stemmed from the various rumors regarding the…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago (513+ words) Over the next two years, Marvel Studios is'focusing on quality over quantity. While only time will tell whether they succeed in delivering on that front, all Kevin Feige needs to focus on now theatrically are Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Avengers: Doomsday, and Avengers: Secret Wars." Those are two franchises that should be guaranteed to find success; Spidey remains a huge draw, and with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton at the helm and a street-level story, it's impossible to imagine it being a let-down. The Russo Brothers have admittedly had a rough few years, but they've yet to deliver anything other than an excellent MCU movie. With that in mind,'we can surely have faith in them wrapping up the Multiverse Saga on a high note.' Many fans have argued that this Doctor Doom…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago (455+ words) Hugh Jackman officially retired(or so we thought) as Wolverine after James Mangold's Logan, but the actor was convinced to don the claws and mutton chops again for a team-up with Ryan Reynolds' Merc With a Mouth in Marvel Studios' R-rated blockbuster,Deadpool and Wolverine. It was generally assumed that the 2024 moviewould be Jackman's actual swansong as the fan-favorite mutant hero, but rumors persistthat he will be back for Avengers: Doomsday and/or Avengers: Secret Wars, and we have also heard that he might be a part of Reynolds' untitled X-project (possibly a new take on X-Force). Jackman's name was not announced as part of the big "chair reveal," but we'd be very surprised if he didn't appear in Secret Wars, at least. When asked about his potential Logan reprisal during an appearance on the Graham Norton Show, the actor…...

2+ week, 2+ day ago (284+ words) The clock is counting down to the first Avengers: Doomsday trailer, and as every day passes, we're one step closer to finally seeing Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom in action. If that's the case, then we may get to see "official" versions of the sketches below in around a month when the first Avengers: Doomsday trailer plays in front of Avatar: Fire and Ash." Over to Wonder Man now, and scooper @MyTimeToShineH is reporting that Westworld star Ed Harris will not appear in the Disney+ series. His name has been associated with the show for a while, but we assume that talks ultimately didn't work out (or the original rumour was incorrect). The insider's recent claim about Frozen star Josh Gad appearing in Wonder Man has also been confirmed in the latest issue of D23 Magazine. It's said that the…...
