The Marvel Studios movie formerly known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty has reportedly received a production start window.
According to trusted insider Daniel Richtman's Patreon (via X), the untitled Avengers 5 movie is expected to begin filming in 2025. This news comes after a tumultuous year for Marvel Studios, which saw the company parting ways with actor Jonathan Majors (Kang the Conqueror) following the latter being charged with and found guilty of assault and harassment. With Kang originally being introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the big bad of the Multiverse Saga, many fans feared that Avengers 5 might be further delayed as the studio worked on figuring out how to proceed without one of the saga's major players.

Zendaya's Mj could return to the MCU in Spider-Man 4, as hinted by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Despite forgetting Peter Parker, Mj likely remembers her interactions with Spider-Man, setting the stage for a reunion. With Euphoria delayed, Zendaya's schedule aligns for a return as Mj in Spider-Man 4, adding an exciting twist to her character.
Recent rumors have suggested that Zendaya’s Michelle Jones-Watson will be returning to the MCU in Spider-Man 4, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness already gave a hint at how this could be possible. Mj, like the rest of the world, forgot who Peter Parker was at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home. This initially raised a question as to whether she would return for any new Spider-Man movies.

The film would be the sole MCU theatrical release of the year and would formally introduce the X-Men into the MCU. Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and a host of other characters from Fox Studios’ Marvel entries are confirmed to appear in the film.
Recently, popular scooper Can We Get Some Toast reported that the majority of the film would be taking place in The Void, a space that was introduced in Loki. The teaser of the film indicated that the film would be a multiversal story with Deadpool going to different timelines. The scooper also mentioned how this direction was vastly different from the original script for the film, which reportedly took place during the original X-Men trilogy.

Marvel Cinematic Universe fans haven't seen the last of Captain Peggy Carter and her many variants.
According to trusted insider Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus, Captain Carter will "be back in What If…? Season 3, and will also be one of the characters in play for [Avengers:] Secret Wars." With Secret Wars expected to pull characters from across the MCU Multiverse for one epic battle, it makes sense that Marvel Studios would want the movie to feature Captain Carter, who has become one of the franchise's more popular variants. For the unfamiliar, Captain Carter is a variant of Peggy Carter who took the super soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers.

Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch is one of the highlights of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, being a character with a major following in the fandom. However, as of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the character was unceremoniously turned into a villain, and as far as the MCU is concerned, killed.
Scarlet Witch in WandaVision
However, a new Secret Wars theory has emerged, that may prove that the character is not only alive in the MCU, but is impossible to kill, given how the character might have picked the attributes of a different character from the comics. This could potentially pave the way for Elizabeth Olsen’s return to the MCU, and even cement her position as an important character in the narrative going forward.

X-Men ’97 has become a big hit on Disney+
Given how much respect the show is giving to the source material, it would not be outside the realm of possibility that the series could incorporate some of the more modern storylines into the show, ones that were written after X-Men: The Animated Series ended. This could include one of Marvel Universe’s most recent additions to its mutant neck of the woods: Escapade, a trans mutant with a unique ability that writers can have a lot of fun with.

The Fantastic Four are called Marvel’s First Family because, well, they actually are. Back in 1961, the company formerly known as Timely Comics transitioned into Marvel Comics. They kept some of their titles, such as Journey Into Mystery, but began a new approach to superhero comics with The Fantastic Four. These new titles would show the internal drama between the characters and not just their superheroics. After these characters became a big hit, the company created other heroes such as The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, and Iron Man.
Fox would end up with the movie rights to bring these characters to the big screen but ultimately would produce content that really didn’t live up to what the comics promised. After four attempts (ironic), the rights have finally reverted back to Marvel Studios through Disney’s purchase of Twentieth Century Studios. Now that the MCU is around, fans are interested in...

Fox's X-Men franchise set a high bar for Marvel with the top-rated X-Men '97 show on Rotten Tomatoes. Breaking genre norms with Deadpool and Logan brought success, a tactic the MCU should consider. Legion's unique character and storytelling triumphed, suggesting obscure characters can thrive in the MCU.
Fox's X-Men franchise has had many highs and lows, but its highest rated TV show on Rotten Tomatoes is something that the MCU could learn from. While X-Men '97, which is Marvel's first official X-Men release separate from Fox, has earned its place as the best-rated Marvel release (so far), it is not part of the MCU. This means the door is open for an McU-specific show to continue Marvel's streaming success and leave poorly-received shows like Secret Invasion in its wake. This is where Marvel could stand to learn a couple of things from Fox.

Spider-Man: No Way Home shifts the McU's post-credits scene approach, providing context immediately for Phase 4 projects. The film's post-credits scenes diverge from typical MCU teases, setting up potential future storylines and introducing new elements. No Way Home's unique end credits scenes may inspire future MCU projects and pave the way for more varied storytelling in Phase 4.
Marvel Studios has become famous for its use of post-credits scenes, often setting up future projects for the MCU, but Spider-Man: No Way Home refreshingly redefined their immediate significance for future projects. While the MCU certainly didn’t invent post-credits scenes, the franchise set forward a trend in requiring nearly every blockbuster film or series to include a follow-up scene that sets up the future of its story.

Blade's stubbornness, typically a weakness, is turned into a strength in issue #9 as he strategically plans his confrontations. By seeking out every evil entity to make himself a target, Blade manipulates his stubbornness to achieve his goal of facing the Adana. Rather than overcoming his stubborn nature, Blade adapts it to work for him, transforming his flaw into a form of blind bravery in battle.
Warning: Spoilers for Blade #9!A major weakness that Blade has consistently demonstrated throughout his latest Marvel comic series is being turned into his biggest strength. There have been some recurring themes and problems in this series for the title character, but the Daywalker's biggest flaw ultimately boils down to stubbornness. Being stubborn has cost Blade friendships and potentially the world in a span of eight issues.
In Blade #9, though, his stubbornness is back to help his life for once rather than disrupt it.

Benedict Wong has teased his return to the MCU, potentially setting up many exciting storylines. Wong has become a consistent and fan-favorite character in the McU's Multiverse Saga. Wong could form new MCU teams, see potential romantic stories, and even Doctor Strange himself in the McU's future.
Marvel Studios' Wong actor has recently teased the return of the Sorcerer Supreme to the MCU, and there are several brilliant storylines that could be told when Benedict Wong reprises the fan-favorite role. Benedict Wong debuted as Wong in 2016's Doctor Strange, initially depicted as the new librarian in Kamar-Taj, but who later became a close friend and sidekick to Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange.

Marvel Studios reportedly has big plans for Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange ahead of The Multiverse Saga's grand conclusion in Avengers: Secret Wars.
According to trusted insider Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus, Marvel wants Doctor Strange's overall role in the Multiverse Saga to be about his "struggle with the moralities of what he believes is right and wrong." As shown in What If...? and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, "we’ve seen Stephen Strange do something that he believes is right and is ultimately for the greater good, when in reality, it backfires and ends up causing more harm than good," Perez added.

A woman tragically dying in a car accident and her husband or boyfriend magically going back in time to save her—how many times have we seen a plot like that? Doctor Strange would say an infinite number of times, but that can’t stop Netflix from bringing out this new movie, Rewind, which has the exact same plot. Although there’s still an appeal to stories that involve the concept of time-traveling, what’s the harm in cashing in on that? Absolutely nothing, but Mae Cruz-Alvair’s Filipino movie is both banal and bland. Not everyone can be Richard Curtis pulling off something like About Time (2013), after all!

In Jon Watts' 2019 film "Spider-Man: Far from Home," Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is tempted to cede control of a newly-bequeathed orbital missile network to an alleged interdimensional traveler nicknamed Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal). Mysterio mentions that he's a superhero from a parallel timeline and that Earth is only now starting to reach into other dimensions. Mysterio's story will later prove to be a lie, yet the notion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe multiverse was implanted in people's minds (building off its brief mention in "Doctor Strange").
That multiverse idea was then hammered home in the film's epilogue. After the day was saved and Mysterio was defeated, Spider-Man's secret identity was brazenly revealed on international TV by none other than J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons), a character not seen since Sam Raimi's 2007 film "Spider-Man 3." Raimi's films, it should be noted, are in a separate continuity from the MCU "Spider-Man" movies.

Hayley Atwell’s Captain Carter has appeared in several Marvel projects. Most recently, she portrayed an alternative Captain America in ‘What If…?’ Season 2, featuring prominently in many episodes. Additionally, she appeared in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ as an Avenger and a founding member of the Illuminati. In 2018, she fought in the Infinity War and contributed to defeating Thanos in the Battle of Titan. Subsequently, she supported the decision to execute Doctor Strange for his use of the Darkhold, leading to a multiversal incursion.
Captain Carter also headlined her own successful show before the Disney+ era, titled ‘Agent Carter.’ In a recent Q&a session, Alex Perez confirmed that Captain Carter remains a significant part of the Marvel Multiverse.

Keanu Reeves is a great fit for various MCU characters. However, he has expressed his reluctance to signing the long-term contracts Marvel Studios used to require. Reeves' passion for motorcycles and stuntwork, as well as his experience playing tough and deadly characters, make him the perfect actor for Ghost Rider. Marvel no longer requires MCU actors to sign strict multi-movie contracts, which could allow Keanu Reeves to play Ghost Rider every once in a while.
John Wick star Keanu Reeves could be a great casting choice for a certain MCU character, but the actor may not be joining the franchise soon. The MCU’s upcoming movies and shows will likely continue to introduce many new characters throughout the Multiverse Saga, including lesser known heroes and villains from the comics and, perhaps, some iconic Marvel figures.

Marvel's long-awaited payoffs from previous movies add depth and satisfaction to the ever-expanding cinematic universe. Key plot points like Groot's language, Red Skull's return, and the real Mandarin's appearance took years to reach their full glory. Moments like Captain America wielding Mjölnir and finally saying "Avengers, assemble!" bring immense cheer and complete character arcs.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is famous for hiding small Easter eggs and teasers within each of their projects that tie into the longer narrative, just begging to re-explore old plot points. Sometimes these payoffs take a very long time to come to fruition, making it all the sweeter when the series does finally acknowledge them. One of the benefits of each of Marvel's movies sharing a continuity is the ability to plant small seeds early on that eventually bloom into incredible results, even if it takes years, being more satisfying the longer they take.

Wanda Maximoff's Scarlet Witch sacrificed herself in a last moment of heroism in 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. An MCU theory suggests the Scarlet Witch may have sent herself to a pocket universe, allowing her to return in the McU's future. The concept of incursions could see the Scarlet Witch's reality and the McU's main continuity collide, bringing her back to the MCU.
Marvel Studios' Scarlet Witch survived her self-sacrifice in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and could return to the MCU very soon, according to one brilliant fan theory. Elizabeth Olsen first appeared as Wanda Maximoff's Scarlet Witch in the post-credits scene of 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but made her official debut in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron. Following this, Wanda Maximoff became an Avenger, became romantically involved with Paul Bettany's Vision, took the town of Westview, New Jersey, hostage,...

Doctor Strange 2's ending sets up a new adventure with a mysterious sorcerer, Clea. Wanda destroys the Darkhold temple but is presumed dead; America stays on Earth-616. Doctor Strange gets the Third Eye, hinting at his return in future MCU projects.
The ending of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness seems to have big implications for the MCU, and here's every detail explained. Despite having been in the MCU since 2016, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is only the second solo outing for the sorcerer, who was gone for five years after Thanos dusted half the world’s population. The MCU sequel takes advantage of the multiverse, introducing America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), a multiversal being with the ability to punch through any dimension.

Scarlet Witch's fate in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is revealed through Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline, officially confirming her tragic death.

Many Marvel Studios projects over the years have broken the Marvel Formula, with many of them achieving huge success because of it. The final battles of Doctor Strange, WandaVision, Avengers: Infinity War and Guardians of the Galaxy all veered drastically from the typical Marvel Formula ending. Phase 4's Werewolf by Night and Eternals made a huge mark on the MCU by experimenting with genre and storytelling techniques.
Over the years, many projects in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have broken the "Marvel Formula", and this has allowed Marvel Studios to deliver some of the franchise's most powerful moments.

The MCU is set up perfectly to introduce the Marvel Midnight Sons team. Villains like Mephisto and Dracula would be perfect for McU's Midnight Sons. Lilith could be the MCU Midnight Sons' best villain.
Marvel has the makings of an MCU version of the Midnight Sons, and like any superhero team, they will need a powerful villain to face off against. The Midnight Sons are Marvel's team of supernatural heroes. Characters like Blade, Doctor Strange, and Moon Knight have all been members of the team in the comics, as have Jack Russell, Man-Thing, and Elsa Bloodstone from the Werewolf by Night cast. Though the team could technically go up against any kind of villain, it would make most sense if it was also one of Marvel's supernatural characters.

Including more non-superhero side characters in the MCU can add depth to heroes' stories and make the world feel richer. Characters like Robbie Robertson, Bats, and Bob could bring new dynamics and emotional connections to hero narratives. Introducing characters such as Forge, Norah Winters, and Balder could offer unique roles, relationships, and storylines in upcoming MCU releases.
The MCU may have a large roster of heroes, but many of them are missing some of their best supporting characters from the comics that would help improve their stories. Characters that aren't superheroes often add depth to the main characters in Marvel movies. For example, Spider-Man would be far less interesting to follow if it weren't for his relationships with Ned Leeds, Mj, and even Flash Thompson. Likewise, someone like Happy Hogan added a lot to the Iron Man movies, even if he never suited up to fight supervillains himself.

Since then, the character, who serves as the judge, jury, and executioner in universe-trembling affairs, has been teased several times, most notably in Multiverse of Madness and Loki.
But long before the multiversal saga kickstarted, the character almost made its debut in Avengers: Infinity War, and per the initial draft of the film, he’d have judged Thanos’ actions.

According to trusted insider Daniel Richtman (via X), Magneto is not expected to be the main villain in Marvel Studios' forthcoming X-Men reboot. Instead, Mister Sinister is the current top choice to antagonize the beloved mutant team. With the fan-favorite villain confirmed to be one of the main villains in Marvel Animation's X-Men '97, the studio may be using the animated revival to familiarize audiences with Minister Sinister before he makes his live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Mister Sinister has yet to appear in a live-action X-Men movie, although Jon Hamm almost played him in The New Mutants.

There’s no doubt an element of wish-fulfillment at play when you’re a debut queer filmmaker casting Tilda Swinton as the lead of your movie.
That’s the case for the 37-year-old Julio Torres, a seasoned comedian onstage and former writer of “Saturday Night Live” (2016 through 2021) and co-creator of HBO’s short-lived cult series “Los Espookys.” His new A24 comedy “Problemista,” now in select theaters before opening wide on March 22, has already grossed more than $690,000 in just a handful of theaters. He stars in the endearing comedy as Alejandro, a fledgling toy designer hustling in New York in the last few days before his visa expires and he’s sent back to Central America. Alejandro accepts an assistant job under Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton), a whirling dervish and New York art scene castaway with faded magenta hair and a short fuse who tasks him with organizing a posthumous show for her dead artist husband,...
