The first episode of Marvel’s Agatha All Along starts from an unexpected place. Picking up her broom and flying into another freewheelin’ genre parody that made WandaVision an early delight, Agatha navigates an episode of Mindhunter as creator-director Jac Schaeffer wades into a genre Marvel has successfully dipped its toe in before: horror.

Joe Russo revealed to GamesRadar+ at McM Comic Con 2024 that Marvel approached the Russo Brothers and Robert Downey Jr. to return for another “Avengers” movie of their record-breaking “Avengers: Infinity War” when the trio was already in discussions with each other for another project. It was announced at Comic-Con in July that Anthony and Joe Russo are directing two new Marvel movies, “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” the former of which will introduce Downey as the MCU’s Doctor Doom.
“We’re all very close,” Joe said about the brothers relationship with Downey. “We had been working on another project before Marvel approached all of us – so we’re working on another project with Robert – and there was a story that evolved through conversations [with Marvel] that we got very excited about. Because it’s always got to be the story.”

Recent rumors have claimed that Infinity Saga big bad Thanos is set to return for Avengers: Secret Wars, with Josh Brolin said to be in talks to reprise his role as the Mad Titan.
Brolin has now addressed the possibility of a return to the MCU, and while he stops short of confirming anything outright, he does at least hint that he's been contacted about potentially (mo-cap) suiting-up as the powerful villain again.
While discussing his past roles with Collider, Brolin admitted that he would consider playing Thanos again under the right circumstances - and with Joe and Anthony Russo at the helm.
"I’m not kidding — There’s a thing with playing Thanos. It’s like, ‘Oh, they’re gonna bring Thanos back.’ It’s like Sicario ; it has to be right. It’s like Ryan Reynolds and I talking about Taylor Swift and we should be talking about...

Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are shaping up to me massive MCU events, and the latter, in particular, could easily wind up being the most ambitious superhero movie ever made.
Even though no characters have been officially confirmed to appear just yet, the movie is expected to feature a new roster of Earth's Mightiest Heroes (the Thunderbolts* team are rumored to form the basis of these New Avengers) along with the surviving members of the original team. We have also heard that at least some variants will be involved, as well as characters from 20th Century Fox's Marvel movies.
Of course, we do know that Robert Downey Jr. will be back - but as Doctor Doom (who may or may not turn out to be a Tony Stark variant).
Just in case Secret Wars wasn't already sounding way too jam-packed, we recently reported that Thanos may also show up,...

Major comic book movie news has been a little lacking this week, but we do have a couple of rumors relating to the next two Avengers films to bring us into the weekend.
According to Mttsh, the characters that make up the team in the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie will have a "huge" role in Avengers: Doomsday.
Possible spoilers from this point on.
This would back up a previous rumor which claimed that this "least anticipated band of misfits" will actually be revealed as the New Avengers (hence the asterisk in the title).
This doesn't necessarily mean that these characters alone will make up the next incarnation of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but it seems the plan is for them to form the basis for a new, most likely government-sponsored (we'll see how long that lasts) team that would officially activate after (or maybe during) the events of Avengers: Secret Wars.

Was Captain America Wrong To Go Back In Time? ( Photo Credit – Facebook )
Was Captain America wrong to go back in time in Avengers: Endgame? He created alternate timelines by snagging the Infinity Stones and living happily ever after with Peggy. However, as Strange noted, they had one shot to beat Thanos, and Steve’s journey was crucial to making it happen.
Tony Stark stepped up to create a time-travel machine, but he had one condition. He’d built a life over the past five years and wanted to preserve it. Instead of rewriting history, the plan shifted to collecting the Infinity Stones to bring everyone back to the current timeline. This meant saving Spider-Man (Tom Holland) while protecting Stark’s daughter. Simple, right? Well, not quite.
Captain America’s Quantum Quandary
The time travel mechanics in Endgame proved simple. The Avengers devised a plan using Pym Particles to shrink down and access the Quantum Realm.

Anthony and Joe Russo, the Russo Brothers, have directed some of the biggest movies of all time, with their film Avengers: Endgame coming in second place just behind James Cameron’s Avatar… but that hasn’t made it any easier to get their sci-fi adventure film The Electric State out into the world. The project was first announced back in 2017 and experienced multiple ups, downs, and behind-the-scenes shake-ups on its way to production, with filming beginning in 2022 and wrapping in early 2023. Reshoots followed in 2024. Now The Electric State is finally be ready to make its way out into the world, so we figured it was time to put together a list of Everything We Know About The Electric State:

Although Sebastian Stan has taken on the role of a lifetime with The Apprentice, he still holds a light for some of the roles he didn’t get.
The Golden Globe nominee, who portrays Donald Trump in the Ali Abbasi-helmed film, recently revealed that he was up for starring roles in Star Trek (2009) and Green Lantern (2011) years before playing the twice-impeached president.
“There were a couple of things I didn’t get that I really desperately wanted,” he said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “But Captain Kirk for J.J. Abrams; that was one of the first I got very close to. I remember I was really, really close, and I remember I had a screen test with [Abrams] at Paramount, and my manager had me do a separate photo shoot where I would try and replicate all these William Shatner pictures just to send to him, see how much I looked like him,...

Sebastian Stan has to be proud of where he’s come in life, after having to move from a completely different part of the world to the United States for a better life, starting from scratch and reaching Hollywood stardom. Before coming into the limelight for his breakout role as Bucky in Captain America: The First Avenger, Stan worked on a few great movies like Black Swan, The Covenant, and most notably the hit television show Gossip Girl.

But there came a point when the Marvel veteran nearly bombed his entire career around the same time he was set to experience a breakthrough. There was a slight possibility we would have never seen him star alongside Chris Evans, rather be a part of Marvel’s biggest rival, DC Comics!

Sebastian Stan made his MCU debut in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger for what proved to be a memorable, but relatively minor, role as Bucky Barnes.
The actor was given far more to do in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Bucky's story continued in Captain America: Civil War before he was put centre stage in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
Despite being part of a story arc that's played out for upwards of a decade, Stan tells Josh Horowitz that he'd have liked to spend more time delving into Bucky's stint as a Hydra assassin.
"The whole Winter Soldier aspect of that character...I almost wish we'd have explored more of that," the actor explained. "There's that whole situation where he's having memory lapses and some of his old memories are coming back and he's short-circuiting. He wasn't as brainwashed to a machine if you look in the comic books.

This teaser, which reveals that the movie is set to begin streaming on Netflix on March 14th, can be viewed in the embed above.
The story of this film begins in July of 2017, when Free League launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a new narrative artbook from acclaimed artist and author Simon Stålenhag – a book called The Electric State, which had the following description: In late 1997, a runaway teenager and her yellow toy robot travel west through a strange USA, where the ruins of gigantic battle drones litter the countryside heaped together with the discarded trash of a...

As previously reported, filming for Marvel Studios Avengers: Doomsday is expected to commence early next year, and we now have some production updates courtesy of insider Daniel Richtman.
According to the scooper, the actors playing the movie's main heroes will each film for about a month starting in March, while those with smaller supporting roles will shoot for a week or two. Robert Downey Jr. (Doctor Doom) will reportedly be on set the longest, filming for about three months. The entire production is expected to take around five months.
It's no surprise that Doom will have a major role, but this could indicate that previous rumors that the villain will actually be the main focus of the movie were accurate. This wouldn't necessarily mean that the other characters will be short-changed - after all, Thanos was arguably the main character in Avengers: Infinity War.

Sebastian Stan is not here for the Marvel criticism and defends the studio as the MCU continues to transition.
The actor who is set to reprise his role of Bucky Barnes in Marvel’s Thunderbolts in 2025 has positive things to say about his time working with the studio.

Marvel has been getting a lot of criticism for their latest films as they introduce new superheroes, but Stan makes note that there isn’t another studio to replicate what they have done.
“I think if Marvel was gone, it’d be such a big hole to try and fill up. Don’t just go out there and shit on something without offering something better,” he said.

Another year, another money-making Marvel movie in the running to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects. This time around it’s “Deadpool and Wolverine,” the third film in Ryan Reynolds‘ R-rated series and the first featuring Hugh Jackman‘s popular “X-Men” character. If “Deadpool and Wolverine” goes on to reap a visual effects bid, it would be the 18th Marvel entry overall to do so, when including those that contended before the Marvel Cinematic Universe officially kicked off in 2008. See them all below.
The most recent addition to the list was “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” (2023), with its tech whizzes losing to the “Godzilla Minus One” team at last year’s Academy Awards. That was actually the third “Guardians” film to earn a Best Visual Effects nom after “Vol. 2” (it lost to “Blade Runner 2049” in 2017) and “Vol. 1” (it lost to “Interstellar” in 2014).

As any Fantastic Four fan worth their salt knows, Reed Richards and Doctor Doom have a highly complicated relationship, with the pair starting out as close friends and ultimately becoming bitter enemies. Even so, a mutual respect remains, and they have reformed an alliance several times over the years.
In many ways, this dynamic is a defining aspect of both characters, but it seems Robert Downey Jr.'s take on the classic villain will have closer ties to a certain wall-crawling hero in the MCU.
A previous rumor suggested that Doom and Mr. Fantastic (Pedro Pascal) won't have that many scenes together in the upcoming Avengers movies, but Mttsh is claiming that they will interact and that their relationship will be important - but not as important as Doom's connection to Tom Holland's Spider-Man.

A (supposed) plot leak for Captain America: Brave New World is doing the rounds online (check back later on for more), and while we haven't been able to fully verify its accuracy, at least one thing mentioned in the breakdown does appear to be on the level.
Possible spoilers follow.
According to scooper Mttsh, the Marvel Studios sequel will feature a cameo from Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier.
Taking Bucky's connection to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) into account, this wouldn't exactly be a major surprise.
The two became close friends during the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and even though Barnes' arc does appear to have taken him down a very different path (we know he joins the Thunderbolts), it would only make sense that he'd drop in on his old pal to see how his career as the new Sentinel of Liberty is going.

Shortly after photos from the set of James Gunn's Superman began to find their way online, one batch of shots revealed that Frank Grillo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) would appear in the movie.
Since the actor had already been cast as Rick Flag Sr. in both the animated Creature Commandos series and Peacemaker season 2, it seemed pretty obvious that he'd be playing the same character in the upcoming Dcu reboot.
Clearly aware that the internet already knew he'd be showing up thanks to those set photos, Gunn has now "confirmed" Grillo's Superman role, while also stressing how important Flag Sr. will be as a character who connects the feature, small-screen and animated corners of the Dcu.
"He is a really cool character that Frank has been molding," Gunn tells EW. "The character's also in Superman, and he's an incredibly important part in Peacemaker. He is one of the...

Sebastian Stan portrays Donald Trump in the Ali Abbasi-directed film The Apprentice.
In a new interview, the Captain America: The Winter Soldier star talked about humanizing the twice-impeached former president of the United States.
“I think that there’s a Trump in all of us to some extent,” Stan told EW. “I know that might not be a popular thing to say, or people maybe don’t want to admit it.”
The Apprentice, set to be released in U.S. theaters on October 11, follows Trump’s rise to power before becoming a business mogul and politician.
“It’s important for us to explore perhaps the darker elements that live within all of us so that by bringing them into the light, we can understand how to have a better relationship with them rather than suppressing and avoiding and pretending that they’re not there,” Stan said. “I think that...

2025 is set to be a significant year for the Dcu, which is built on the foundations of the former Dceu. Although Creature Commandos will be the first release, both James Gunn and Peter Safran have emphasized that the upcoming Superman movie marks the true beginning of the Dcu.
While details about the plot remain scarce, set leaks and official announcements reveal an impressive cast. Notably, Gunn has “borrowed” several actors from rival Marvel projects.
As a result, we’ve compiled a summary of all the ‘Superman’ actors who have previously appeared in Marvel projects.
1. Frank Grillo – Rick Flag Sr (Dcu) / Crossbones (MCU)
Frank Grillo is best known for his role as the villain Crossbones in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, and Avengers: Endgame. The actor has openly admitted that he nearly got fired by Marvel multiple times for leaking information.

2025 will be a huge year for Dcu, a newly established cinematic universe on the remnants of the former Dceu. Despite ‘Creature Commandos’ releasing first, both Gunn and Safran stated in the past that the upcoming ‘Superman’ movie is the true start of the Dcu.
Not much is known about the movie plot-wise, but thanks to the set leaks and official announcements we know that the cast is pretty huge. What’s even better is that Gunn “borrowed” quite a few actors from the rival Marvel projects.
Due to this, we decided to summarize all ‘Superman’ actors that at one point appeared in Marvel projects.
1. Frank Grillo – Rick Flag Sr (Dcu) / Crossbones (MCU)
Frank Grillo portrayed a notable villain Crossbones in ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier,’ ‘Captain America: Civil War,’ and ‘Avengers: Endgame.’ The actor famously stated that he almost got fired by Marvel a lot of times due to constantly leaking information.

Samuel L. Jackson Says His 9-Picture Marvel Deal Shocked Him: ‘How Long I Gotta Stay Alive?’ | Video
Samuel L. Jackson said his contract with superhero entertainment company Marvel initially threw him for a loop, as it locked him in to star in nine films — which made him question how long he’d have to be alive in order to complete the business agreement.
“I knew I had a nine-picture,” the Oscar-winning actor said during an interview with GQ magazine in which he broke down his most iconic roles. “When Kevin [Feige, Marvel Studios president] said that, ‘We’re gonna offer you a nine-picture deal,'” Jackson said he thought to himself, “‘How long I gotta stay alive to make nine movies?'”
Check out the clip below.
The actor continued, saying that the entire process of making nine films went by faster than he thought it would.

The MCU has a rich history that began with the release of Iron Man in 2008, and it continues to expand with many new characters joining the franchise.
However, despite its massive success, there are certain individuals who have been blacklisted by the head of Marvel Studios, ruling out their return to the franchise, regardless of the success of their past projects.
Kevin Feige has been quite transparent about his preferences for collaboration, and unfortunately, two individuals have ended up in the category of those he prefers not to work with. In the book MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios, authors Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzalez, and Gavin Edwards investigate the behind-the-scenes issues at Marvel Studios that led to Feige banning Joss Whedon and Edward Norton from future MCU projects.
If the Inhumans could be rehabilitated, apparently everyone in MCU history was on Feige’s call list. Except Edward Norton, the franchise’s first Bruce Banner,...

Still, despite its enormous success, we can also definitely rule out some faces possibly forever since the head of Marvel Studios blacklisted them despite the success of their projects.
Feige has been pretty open in the past regarding who he likes to work with and who he doesn’t like to work with, and two names, unfortunately, found themselves in the latter category.
In the book ‘MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios,’ authors Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzalez, and Gavin Edwards explore behind-the-scenes problems at Marvel Studios that resulted in Kevin Feige banning two individuals from future MCU projects.

Avengers: Secret Wars Rumored To Feature The Return Of An Iconic X-men Character - Possible Spoilers
Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are obviously shaping up to me massive MCU events, with the latter, in particular, expected to be the most ambitious superhero movie of all time in terms of scale and scope.
There are going to be a lot of characters, but there have been conflicting reports when it comes to the involvement of 20th Century Fox's Marvel heroes. Hugh Jackman is almost certainly going to return as Wolverine, but what about his fellow X-Men?
While Marvel Studios is (or soon will be) in the process of casting new actors to play the mutant freedom fighters in the upcoming X-Men reboot, it seems there might be a few more holdovers - at least until the events of Secret Wars.
According to Mttsh, Sir Patrick Stewart will reprise his role as the original big-screen Professor Charles Xavier.

Thunderbolts* Star Sebastian Stan Confirms What We've Suspected About His Character in Teaser Trailer - Main Image
Thunderbolts* star Sebastian Stan recently opened up about his character's scene-stealing moment in the teaser trailer.
The preview ended with an awesome scene featuring Bucky Barnes as he was seen chasing the Thunderbolts crew and firing a shot at them. It was reminiscent of his iconic scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Fans have been wondering whether Bucky's Winter Soldier mode was somehow activated during that moment or it's a showcase of how that part of his persona is still part of him after all this time.

Marvel had a rough year in 2023. Many of its properties underperformed, and they lost their big villain due to Jonathan Majors being fired. Looking forward to their upcoming slate, comic fans have been excited about some of the studio’s projects over the next few years. Will these films help Marvel regain control? The upcoming Thunderbolts film has been one that fanboys have been hoping to see since the MCU started. With some recent news about the property coming up, it seems like the right time to break down what we know about the production.
Who Are The Thunderbolts?
The team first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1997 in an issue of The Incredible Hulk. They seemed to be a new group of superheroes that had arrived on the scene and gained acclaim very quickly. The reader was informed that the group was actually a group of supervillains led by Baron Zemo.

The Marvel Universe saw a second Civil War event between Captain Marvel and Iron Man, but it was nowhere near as good as the first iteration of the events. However, given that a conspiracy thriller like Captain America: The Winter Soldier set up the first conflict between The Avengers, a second one might be brewing in the superhero community come Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*.

However, there is a potent possibility that due to the lack of an Iron Man in the MCU, along with the fall of Captain Marvel’s popularity, there might be a different setup for a second conflict in the superhero community. This could be the second Civil War that actually makes sense, one that could get mutants and the Fantastic Four involved in the conflict as well.

Samuel L. Jackson’s role as Nick Fury single-handedly changed the character forever. Bringing his own twist to his performance, the actor ended up having a lasting effect on the beloved S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to the point that his comic version began to imitate the iconic demeanor.

Although now the world knows how great a choice he was for the role, the same was not the case when he was cast. So much so, that even Jackson was wary when Kevin Feige first approached him with the role. During an interview, the actor revealed that he had a very big concern when he was first offered the role of Fury.

There was once a time when it seemed like Ali Abbasi’s Donald Trump movie The Apprentice would never be released. Legal action from one of Trump’s allies who produced the film threatened to stall the release, but now that has been settled, and audiences are getting to see this portrait of the former President’s younger years just in time for election season. Although it’s not as salacious as the controversy would have you believe, The Apprentice has great performances, excellent production value, and a snappy script that will leave audiences satisfied.
The Apprentice Review
The Apprentice tells the story of Donald Trump in the 1970s and 80s as he became one of the most successful real-estate moguls in the world under the tutelage of notorious lawyer Roy Cohn, despite facing many setbacks along the way. Of course, this isn’t a rags-to-riches story where you root for the underdog.

Hounds of War is about the best military mercenaries money can buy. Known as "The Hounds", they are sent on a final mission by their creator: a carefully planned trap set up to destroy them.
Directed by Isaac Florentine (the Undisputed franchise) and written by Jean Pierre Magro (Blood on the Crown), Hounds of War stars Frank Grillo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgment Day) and Rhona Mitra (Supergirl).
Last week, we sat down with Mitra to discuss her role in the movie - which is now available on Digital platforms - as Selina, a badass woman from Ryder's (Grillo) past who becomes embroiled in his revenge mission.
Explaining what drew her to the project, the Underworld star also breaks down her approach to action, the challenges of working on a lower-budgeted project, and how she and Grillo figured out the complicated dynamic between their respective characters.

Marvel Studios is the biggest titan in Hollywood. Their Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise is the untouchable champion of the box office, having grossed a collective $30 billion in the years since it all began with the release of Iron Man in 2008. It has truly changed the face of cinema with its 34 MCU movies, with fans flocking to the movie theaters to see the next major Marvel superhero film every single time one of them is released.
The Marvel Mania has been going strong for two decades, so it's no surprise that the fans are more passionate now than ever. Heck, they are so passionate that they need to know every single details about every single release.

After working with him on 2018’s Chained for Life, writer/director Aaron Schimberg seems to have found a muse in actor Adam Pearson. Pearson is probably best known as “The Deformed Man” who attempted to escape from Scarlett Johannson in Jonathan Glazer’s surreal 2013 sci-fi film Under the Skin, but Schimberg has found a way to give the unique actor meatier roles. And that’s exactly what he does with A Different Man.
A Different Man is about a struggling actor named Edward (Sebastian Stan from Captain America: The Winter Soldier) who is inflicted with neurofibromatosis, a condition which has resulted in deformations on his head and face. He discovers that he is a candidate for an experimental treatment, and the results are miraculous. To go along with his new face, he decides to change his entire identity,...

Comic book characters, even superheroes, generally have a tendency to cause a lot of damage during their fights. This is not, in the case of the superheroes, intentional, of course, but damage occurs and casualties also occur, whether they want it or not. On the other hand, sometimes, the casualties are intentional as superheroes have to kill their enemies in order to win.
Sometimes, though, superheroes have a “no-kill” rule, like Batman or Superman, but this is an exception, not a rule. Superheroes generally don’t shy away from killing their enemies, regardless of whether they are humans or some alien entities, monsters, etc.
In light of that, we are going to talk about the kill count of a very interesting character, or, more specifically, about the kill count of her version from the MCU. The character in question is Maria Hill, and you will definitely be surprised when you...

Comic book characters, including superheroes, often cause significant damage during their battles. While this destruction isn’t intentional on the heroes’ part, casualties happen regardless. There are also instances where superheroes deliberately kill their enemies to secure victory.
Some heroes, like Batman and Superman, follow a “no-kill” policy, but this is more of an exception than the norm. Generally, superheroes do not hesitate to eliminate their foes, whether they are humans, aliens, or monsters.
With that in mind, let’s explore the kill count of a particularly intriguing character from the MCU: Maria Hill. You might be surprised to discover just how many characters she’s taken down—and yes, her count surpasses that of the Hulk!
The data we’re sharing comes from an IMDb list created by user Creedswede, who took the time to compile the kill count of both major and minor MCU characters, along with some key notes.

The upcoming Red Sonja reboot hasn't had the easiest of journeys to the big screen, losing multiple filmmakers - including X-Men helmer Bryan Singer - and even its main star (Thunderbolts*' Hannah John-Kamen).
M.J. Bassett has since stepped behind the camera to direct the action, with rising star Matilda Lutz tapped to bring the iconic warrior to life in a movie fans hope will do this character justice.
After all, it's been nearly four decades since Red Sonja graced the big screen, with Brigitte Nielsen bringing the iconic hero to life way back in 1985.
Earlier this week, we caught up with action icon Rhona Mitra to discuss her role in XYZ Films' Hounds of War. She's been tapped to play an unnamed character in the new Red Sonja and we asked what she could tease about the project.
