Another one bites the dust.
Filmmaker Yann Demange (“Lovecraft Country”) is no longer set to direct “Blade,” Marvel Studios’ long-in-the-works reboot of the vampire superhero franchise set to star Mahershala Ali. This is the second director to leave the project; Bassam Tariq (“Mogul Mowgli”) exited the production in 2022.
Insiders say Demange departed the film amicably weeks ago, as development on the project has stretched over multiple years. Screenwriter Eric Pearson, who co-wrote “The Fantastic Four” for Marvel, is the latest scribe to take on the “Blade” script, after at least five other writers have taken passes on the film, including Michael Green, Stacy Osei-Kuffour, Michael Starrbury, Beau DeMayo and Nic Pizzolatto.
While Marvel has not officially moved “Blade” off of its Nov. 7, 2025, release date, it is looking increasingly unlikely that the project will be able to start production in time to make that date. The next four Marvel films on...

Blade is once again in search of new talent behind the camera. Filmmaker Yann Demange has exited the long-gestating project, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The departure is described as amicable and happened some time ago. It’s the latest in a number of creative challenges for the project, which Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige announced to fanfare at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019 when he surprised the crowd by bringing out star Mahershala Ali, and presenting him with a Blade cap.
Blade was preparing to go into production in the fall of 2022 when director Bassam Tariq exited over creative differences. Then, sources say, Ali handpicked Lovecraft Country helmer Demange to direct, but months later it became one of the major features delayed by the writers strike in May 2023. As of yet, it never made it to production.
Ali remains attached to star in the project, and the studio is not looking to rush the film.

A slew of characters from Marvel movies outside of the MCU might be making their way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as Deadpool & Wolverine gears up to hit theatres this summer.

The highly anticipated threequel to the Deadpool series, Deadpool & Wolverine, has breathed life into the dying MCU. And just as it has revived the franchise after a series of losses, it has also given birth to a number of theories. And these theories are not just limited to Deadpool’s own series, but even extend to other Marvel heroes, such as Captain America.

Whenever a Sony movie comes in at No. 1, Tom Rothman drives his 1967 Ford Mustang to the Culver City lot and leaves it parked in front of the Thalberg building. But on Monday, there was a hitch after Bad Boys: Ride or Die opened to a victorious $56.5 million at the domestic box office: the red beauty wouldn’t start.

Taylor Swift Is Not in the Deadpool and Wolverine Movie - Main Image
After months of speculation about whether the global pop superstar will appear in Deadpool and Wolverine’s MCU debut, Entertainment Weekly debunks previous reports. It confirms this will not be the case.
The internet has been ablaze with rumours about Taylor Swift’s potential casting in the highly anticipated movie, a frenzy that began last year during her record-breaking The Eras Tour.
Fans have been feverishly searching for Easter eggs, speculating which role she could play, from Lady Deadpool to mutant songstress Dazzler. The excitement peaked when she was spotted with movie stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy at an NFL game in October 2023.
While Reynolds and Levy have neither confirmed nor denied any participation by Swift in the movie, Marvel seemingly has leaned into the buzz.

If you’ve been wondering if Logan would wear his iconic cowl in Deadpool and Wolverine, we have an answer! Thanks to Hot Toys, we have a detailed look at the mutant’s mask.
The upcoming 1/6 scale premium action figure comes with interchangeable heads and mouthpieces. As expected, Hot Toys nailed Hugh Jackman’s likeness and even made the live-action cowl look good.
The odds that we’ll see Wolverine fully decked out in his complete costume for more than a few minutes are probably slim. However, in the past 20+ years, this will be the first time we will finally get a mostly comic book-accurate version of the popular X-Men member on the big screen.
The Deluxe Edition action figure is expected to launch sometime during Q2-Q3, 2025.

Lady Deadpool, also known as Wanda Wilson, is a female version of Wade Wilson from another reality. There have been rumblings for a while now about the character appearing in Deadpool & Wolverine and it was recently confirmed in a one-minute trailer.
Unfortunately, we only got to see the Deadpool Variant's legs, meaning we're still no closer to knowing who will play her.
We aren't expecting it to be a random actress and, in this feature, you'll find the 5 most compelling possibilities. From those rumoured to be in the movie to some very unexpected suggestions, you'll no doubt have plenty to say about each of these.

Social media can be the most toxic and polarizing place out there, but one bright spot is when you get a social media manager with a sense of humor. Universal Orlando Resort social media manager has a sense of humor and it seems that the Beetlejuice account also has one.

The post is in response to the rumors about Taylor Swift being Lady Deadpool in the film. Many people were convinced that Swift was the character, even though we only see a character’s legs in the trailer. Swift’s people say that it isn’t true, and she is not in the film.
But it’s funny.
The comments didn’t disappoint either.

Deadpool & Wolverine is set to feature a host of variants of Deadpool, and perhaps some of Wolverine as well. The film is anticipated to be one of 2024’s most successful films and is probably set to feature Lady Deadpool among the sea of cameos that the film will no doubt have set up for future films and fan service.

The rumors burned hotter when people saw Blake Lively (Ryan Reynolds’ wife) show up at the Super Bowl to hang out with Swift.

In related news, Cineplex has announced that the movie has passed $1 million in ticket pre-sales.
This marks another pre-sale milestone, after AMC Theaters announced that the film sold more tickets on day one than any other R-rated movie in the company's history last month.
The prospect of seeing Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson joining forces with Hugh Jackman's Logan is clearly a huge draw, and while it obviously remains to be seen how the movie ultimately performs at the box office, this is a very good sign.

Well, it was an interesting rumor while it lasted. Although Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy kind of/sort/not-really teased fans with the idea that Taylor Swift may make a cameo as the mutant Dazzler, it turns out that probably isn’t the case.

The publication doesn’t go into details about how it learned this news, but it probably came down from Swift herself or her rep.

We've been sifting through Deadpool & Wolverine rumours from the moment it was first announced. Very early on, there were rumblings about it dealing with the aftermath of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and, more specifically, the Scarlet Witch's attack on Earth-838.
The movie was supposed to show us what became of that world after Wanda killed the Illuminati, with it now a "dystopian future led by a handful of individuals who were related to the deceased members of the former Illuminati."
They intended to wage war on Earth-616 with Sir Ian McKellen's Magneto said to be leading the charge; we're not sure what the idea was beyond that, but it's possible this was connected to former Avengers: The Kang Dynasty writer Jeff Loveness' plans for the now-untitled movie.

For months now, rumours have swirled that singer/songwriter Taylor Swift will make a cameo appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine. As for who she'll play, we've heard names like Lady Deadpool, Dazzler, and even herself!
A cameo makes sense; filmmaker Shawn Levy starred in Swift's self-directed "All Too Well" music video/short film (starring Dylan O'Brien and Sadie Sink), while Swift is also good friends with Ryan Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively.
According to Entertainment Weekly, they’ve managed to confirm that Swift does not appear in Deadpool & Wolverine.
One of two things is happening here. Option one is that the rumours and excitement have gotten out of control and reached a point where Marvel Studios felt the need to clarify things or else risk disappointing a great many fans next month. Option two is that this is yet another example of Disney issuing a bogus denial...

After emerging from bankruptcy in the U.S. last summer, Regal parent Cineworld is exploring options for its UK business that could include a potential sale or restructuring, Sky News reported over the weekend.
According to the report, the world’s second largest cinema operator has enlisted AlixPartners, which helped its lenders navigate bankruptcy, as consultant and contacted prospective bidders in recent days. City sources told Sky News that the sale process was expected to run for several weeks.
Cineworld is also expected to explore the option of a company voluntary arrangement — a further step in its restructuring process — which could put an unspecified number of its UK cinemas at risk of closure.
A spokesperson for Cineworld provided the following statement to Deadline: “Like many businesses, we are continually reviewing our UK operations.”
Cineworld filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. in 2022, flattened by Covid and debt. It exited last August.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is generating significant anticipation as one of the most exciting upcoming projects in the MCU. Scheduled for release in 2024, it’s already drawing praise from those who have seen previews, with expectations high for its impact on the franchise’s reputation.
As with any highly anticipated project, rumors abound regarding potential cameos, variants, and plot elements, with some confirmations, such as Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, and others still under speculation, supported by mounting evidence. To provide clarity, let’s explore the confirmed and rumored cameos and variants expected in the film.
Aaron Stanford – John Allerdyce/Pyro (Confirmed)
Aaron Stanford’s return was initially speculated, along with a few other minor X-Men villains, though his appearance was later confirmed in the trailer. While he only briefly appears on screen, his unmistakable costume leaves no doubt about his identity. Earlier this year, he had denied any involvement in the movie.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is one of the most anticipated upcoming MCU movies for several reasons. It promises numerous cameos and variants, marks Deadpool’s entry into the MCU, and brings Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine. There’s also speculation it will lead into ‘Secret Wars,’ though that’s still uncertain.
One of the most persistent rumors is that Taylor Swift will appear as Dazzler. This rumor has been around for at least a year, supported by notable insiders. It seems plausible given Ryan Reynolds’ fandom of Swift and Blake Lively’s close friendship with her.
There were plenty of hints that Swift might appear as either Dazzler or Lady Deadpool, a female variant of Deadpool. These hints included song references and rumors fueled by Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, who wore friendship bracelets popularized by Swift’s latest tour.
Even Shawn Levy, the director of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ avoided directly addressing the rumors.

Ryan Reynolds has long been simmering with ideas for a Deadpool and Wolverine team-up. His desire for a Deadpool movie dates back to 2003, with an added twist as he envisioned a more classic approach for the pairing.

Reynolds once shared his initial concept with Kevin Feige, pitching a film like the Japanese Classic Rashomon, where Wolverine and Deadpool find themselves in a shared adventure, yet each character’s perspective tells a different tale. While this idea didn’t come to fruition, it’s undeniably intriguing.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is the hottest upcoming MCU release, for a few good reasons. The movie is rumored to include numerous cameos & variants, it’s Deadpool’s first foray into the MCU, and it’s the movie that managed to pull Hugh Jackman out of his Wolverine retirement. It’s also rumored to lead into ‘Secret Wars’ but we’re going to take this with a grain of salt.
Among those mentioned cameos & variants, is Taylor Swift appearing in the movie as Dazzler. This is one of the most persistent rumors, being traced back at least a year ago to notable scoopers and leakers. It’s especially convincing when you take into account that Reynolds is a huge fan of Swift, and his better half Blake Lively is good friends with the artist.

Patrick Stewart was more popular than Hugh Jackman when Bryan Singer approached him to play Professor Charles Xavier in X-Men. For Star Trek fans, he was the famous Captain Jean-Luc Picard from The Next Generation. Singer got to meet him on the set of 1997’s Conspiracy Theory, which X-Men executive producer Richard Donner directed. However, Stewart was reluctant to take on the role for one reason.

The Doctor Strange 2 actor believed that he had already done enough science fiction and fantasy films with the Star Trek projects. However, Singer convinced him that X-Men wouldn’t be anything like his previous works. Stewart revealed that he never regretted his choice to join the films.

Is it July 26 yet? The anticipation for Deadpool & Wolverine is so thick you can’t cut it with adamantium claws! Fans have been dreaming of a proper Wade Wilson and Wolverine crossover for years after the disappointment of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Whoever thought silencing Deadpool was a good idea should have their head examined. But I digress. A batch of new Deadpool & Wolverine posters are making the rounds, highlighting the upcoming film’s premiere screening formats and getting fans hot in all the right/wrong places.
The new Deadpool & Wolverine posters promote the 4Dx, Imax, Screen X, Dolby, and Real 3D film versions, with an exclusive print from Fandango for shiggles. All the posters feature Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) and Logan Howlett in various poses. Whether they’re arguing, trying to kill each other, or driving a car Thelma & Louise-style, the dynamic duo is clearly infatuated with one another,...

The first teaser poster for Deadpool & Wolverine featured just the hands of Wade Wilson and Logan, with the former extending a single finger to touch one of the X-Man's claws.
Now, an IMAX one-sheet has been released which features the Merc with the Mouth pretty much holding hands with the no doubt reluctant clawed mutant. However, many fans are convinced there's more to this latest poster than meets the eye.
Yes, the fact they're wearing friendship bracelets has sent speculation into overdrive - again - about Taylor Swift possibly making an appearance in the threequel. So far, she's been rumoured to appear as Lady Deadpool, Dazzler, a female Wolverine, and herself.
Some also believe the placement of Deadpool's figures is meant to signify Swift's trademark "13," though we'd say that's perhaps reading too much into what we see here.
The friendship bracelets are tough to ignore, though, particularly...

‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ Delivers a Welcome $56 Millon Haul; ‘The Watchers’ Stumbles in First Weekend
The domestic box office finally changed course after a slow start to the summer release season, as ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ won the weekend with a successful $56 million opening. This is the best R-rated opening in theaters since last year's 'Oppenheimer.' It’s also Will Smith’s sixth-highest domestic opening and the first notable major summer title that over-performed against tracking numbers.
The fourth film in Smith and Martin Lawrence's action franchise was projected to do well, but Hollywood had reasons to temper that optimism. For starters, this was Smith’s first major release after the infamous Oscars slap in 2022, and it wasn’t clear if the fallout would have a lasting impact on his box office marketability. And while the previous installment, ‘Bad Boys for Life,’ was the biggest hit of 2020 with $427 million worldwide, it was also the last hit of 2020 when the global pandemic brought the industry to a screeching halt.
The thriller ‘The Watchers,’ the directorial debut of Ishana Shyamalan, opened in fourth place to just $7 million, a disappointing debut for a genre film supported by a bankable star in Dakota Fanning and a first-time director with built-in name recognition as the daughter of supernatural hit-maker M. Night Shyamalan.
Chris Pratt’s animated comedy ‘The Garfield Movie’ held in second place in its third week, earning $10 million for a $192 million worldwide total, while another family film—John Krasinski's animated/live-action film ‘IF’—also held its appeal with $8 million in its fourth weekend for a $160 million total worldwide.
It was another rough weekend for ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,’ as it dropped to sixth place behind ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.’ The 'Mad Max: Fury Road' prequel took in a $4.25 million, a 60% drop from last week, while 'Apes' continued to draw audiences with $5.4 million.
In the top 10 were also re-releases of two The Lord of the Rings movies, ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’ ($2.44 million) and ‘The Two Towers’ ($1.91 million), which played on 1,529 screens each, capitalizing on audience nostalgia.
Next weekend, all eyes turn to Disney and Pixar to deliver with the release of animated sequel ‘Inside Out 2.’ Hollywood could use another bright spot this summer, and there isn’t another big hit expected until July, with the release of ‘Despicable Me 4’ and ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’

Diving into the world of comics reveals an interesting trend. For the longest part of their existence, the team of mutants enjoyed a celebrated status in-universe, at times exceeding those of their more human counterparts. However, in live-action, the group of remarkable actors handpicked by Kevin Feige surpassed both box office and pop culture popularity with 2012’s The Avengers in contrast to the X-Men, which came to life at the hands of Fox, years before.

Despite big stars such as Henry Cavill and Ryan Gosling having blockbuster releases this year, the first half of 2024 seems to be a lackluster year for Hollywood. The industry has seen many sure-shot films bomb at the box office this year. While Dune: Part Two remains the highest-grossing film of the year, it was released in March.
Films such as The Fall Guy and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which were touted to be huge hits have all taken a huge loss at the box office, making studios reconsider their strategies. Making it worse is the success of small-budget films such as Tarot, which has become the year’s most profitable film with a $45 million box office against an $8 million budget.

After the release of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,’ the superhero world was rocked by allegations against Jonathan Majors. He played Victor Timely in ‘Loki’ Season 1 and Kang the Conqueror in ‘Quantumania,’ set to be the next big villain in the Multiversal Saga.
Majors’ career has declined since his arrest in March 2023 for allegedly assaulting a woman, rumored to be his girlfriend. He was dropped from several projects, his manager and PR team quit, and several commercials featuring him were pulled.
This marked the end of Majors’ role as MCU’s Kang the Conqueror, leaving the studio in a tough spot. They had built up Kang as the main villain of the Multiversal Saga through both seasons of ‘Loki’ and ‘Quantumania’ but now had to drop their main actor.
Since then, rumors have spread that the studio wants to put Kang on hold for a while, with talks of recasting the character.

Following the release of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Qunatumania’ the superhero media world was shaken by allegations brought to light against Jonathan Majors, introduced in ‘Loki’ Season 1 as Victor Timely and in ‘Quantumania’ as Kang the Conqueror, the next big villain for the Multiversal Saga.
Jonathan Majors’ career has been in somewhat of a freefall ever since he was arrested in March 2023 after an alleged assault of a woman he knew and was rumored to be his girlfriend. He was laid off from several projects, his manager and PR team quit, and several commercials featuring the actor were pulled.
This was officially the end of Majors’ career as MCU’s Kang the Conqueror and the studio found itself in sort of a pickle. They’ve built up Kang as the primary villain of the Multiversal Saga through both seasons of ‘Loki’ and ‘Quantumania’ only to be forced to drop their main star.

Good news for those Bad Boys: audiences are still ride or die for the exploits of Mike and Marcus. That’s reflected in the opening weekend box office figures for the buddy-action franchise’s fourth instalment, Bad Boys: Ride Or Die, which saw Will Smith and Martin Lawrence draw in an impressive haul – earning over $100 million worldwide. In a stuttering summer, with major movies like Furiosa and The Fall Guy underperforming, that’s a significant success; particularly considering Bad Boys doesn’t sit on the CGI-heavy mega-spectacle end of the blockbuster spectrum.
Bad Boys: Ride Or Die earned $56 million at the US box office, and added $48 million from across the rest of the world, all adding up to an opening weekend of $104 million. That’s significantly higher than the opening haul for The Fall Guy (around $65 million), and Furiosa (roughly $59 million). The film is directed by Adil & Bilall – who...

Deadpool & Wolverine's marketing campaign will continue ramping up in the coming weeks and the first TV spot for the movie has found its way online today.
There's only one new scene as a drunk Logan "boops" the Merc with the Mouth during that scene in the bar. This is presumably their first meeting, and likely the moment Wade Wilson attempts to recruit a Wolverine Variant who can help him with his mission for the Tva.
While we're pretty sure that's the only fresh addition to this teaser, more snippets of footage are bound to be revealed soon. Over the weekend, Marvel Studios dropped a minute-long teaser featuring Juggernaut and Lady Deadpool.
That can be found at the bottom of this post; in the meantime, check out Deadpool & Wolverine's first TV spot below.

While we're pretty sure that's the only fresh addition to this teaser, more snippets of footage are bound to be revealed soon. Over the weekend, Marvel Studios dropped a minute-long teaser featuring Juggernaut and Lady Deadpool.
That can be found at the bottom of this post; in the meantime, check out Deadpool & Wolverine's first TV spot below.

Es sind nur Bruchteile von Sekunden in einem einminütigen Spot, die die McU-Fangemeinde in positive Aufruhr versetzt: Anlässlich des „Best Friends Day“, der in den USA am 8. Juni begangen wird, hat Marvel einen neuen Ausblick auf „Deadpool & Wolverine“ veröffentlicht. Dieser beinhaltet einige neue Szenen, darunter eine, über die nun eifrig spekuliert wird. Ungefähr zur Hälfte des Spots kommen zwei kostümierte Beine ins Bild, die nach Ansicht von Fans einen klaren Hinweis darauf geben, dass „Lady Deadpool“ einen Auftritt in dem Film haben wird. Andere Stimmen – wenngleich man sie als Mindermeinung betrachten darf – glauben, darin ein Outfit von „Elektra“ erkannt zu haben. Die Spekulationen erstrecken sich nicht zuletzt auch auf die Darstellerin,...

Marvel Cinematic Universe movies have caught a lot of flack in recent years for the sheer amount of silliness and gags muddling up the various film and TV plots. There's no doubt there are a lot of MCU jokes that haven't aged well, and as the franchise has continued, the quips seem to have become more and more frequent — something that will no doubt reach a fever pitch with the upcoming "Deadpool & Wolverine."
But there was a time when one-liners and wisecracks were used more sparingly and played a crucial role in the success of the MCU. This element of the franchise led directly to the hit that was "Thor: Ragnarok," in which Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige entrusted director Taika Waititi with reinventing Chris Hemsworth's Thor as a more comedic persona. This was due to the Aussie star's penchant for improv, which he'd demonstrated in both "Thor" and its sequel,...

“Bad Boys: Ride or Die” gave the box office a desperately needed jolt, but the action-comedy fourquel can’t salvage the summer season by itself.
Although the newest “Bad Boys,” reuniting Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as Miami cops, arrived on the higher end of expectations with $56 million in domestic ticket sales, the year-to-date deficit actually grew more pronounced. Heading into the weekend, ticket sales were 24% behind 2023 and now overall revenues are lagging by 26% according to Comscore.
“Bad Boys 4” isn’t to blame for the decline; analysts believe it’s the lack of enthusiasm for other titles in the marketplace. Four of the other top five releases — Sony’s animated “The Garfield Movie” ($10 million), Paramount’s fantasy comedy “If” ($8 million), the Warner Bros. supernatural thriller and fellow newcomer “The Watchers” ($7.4 million) and Disney and 20th Century’s sequel “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” ($5.4 million) — brought in scraps.

Deadpool & Wolverine will land in theaters on July 26, 2024. After it was officially announced that Hugh Jackman will join Ryan Reynolds as his classic character Wolverine, a plethora of trailers and teasers have landed. With each promotional video, a fresh new glimpse has been added. In the latest teaser, released on June 8, 2024, a new character is unveiled through a rather ambiguous shot. The snippet was posted to Ryan Reynolds‘ official YouTube page for Best Friend’s Day, with the following caption: “I hope everyone gets to work with their best friend at least once in their lifetime.

A new international poster for Deadpool and Wolverine has been released to mark the final day of the French Open. The banner reuses images from previous marketing material, but replaces one of the Merc With a Mouth's signature swords with a tennis racket.
Some promo art aside, we have yet to see Hugh Jackman don Wolverine's comic-accurate mask, though we have been assured that he will at some point in the movie.
There's a good chance Marvel Studios will save the big reveal for when audiences are sitting down to watch the threequel next month, but thanks to a pair of life-sized statues that were spotted at Roppongi Hills in Japan, we have arguably our most detailed look yet at Logan in his full costume.
Check out the statues and poster at the links below.
