Alan Cumming’s return to Marvel’s cinematic lineup has already created a stir, but it’s an offhand comment during a recent interview that may have ignited a new round of speculation about Avengers: Doomsday. During a promotional conversation with BuzzFeed UK, the actor, known for portraying Nightcrawler in 2003’s X2: X-Men United, shared an anecdote that has led many to believe a key scene in the upcoming film may involve a direct clash with Pedro Pascal’s Mister Fantastic.

Marvel Studios has remained characteristically silent on the storyline of Avengers: Doomsday, which is set to release on May 1, 2026. However, Cumming’s remark—delivered with a casual tone—implied that his character might be involved in an action sequence with Pascal’s Reed Richards. “I was learning stunts yesterday for some fight scene and I just think, I’m 60 years old. 23 years ago, I played that superhero,” Cumming said.

As Alan Cumming makes his long-overdue return to the X-Men, it appears he’s avoided the notoriously scary MCU media training.

The 3x Emmy winner might have recently let a detail slip about the upcoming Phase Six installment Avengers: Doomsday, which premieres May 1, 2026 in theaters, involving his reprised role Nightcrawler and Pedro Pascal‘s Mister Fantastic.

“I was learning stunts yesterday for some fight scene and I just think, I’m 60 years old. 23 years ago, I played that superhero,” he told Buzzfeed UK. “I was kind of old for a superhero even then. And now I’m back doing it. And that, to me, is hilarious.”

Cumming continued, “I’m sort of learning these fights and I’m like, ‘What? Who am I fighting with?’ And they said, ‘You’re hitting Pedro Pascal against the head,’ or something.”

Perhaps the Scottish actor was just speaking hypothetically. But with Nightcrawler’s...

It appears the devastating blow in HBO’s The Last of Us season 2 isn’t the only major beating that Pedro Pascal is going to take onscreen in a major franchise. With Pascal set to mark his debut in the MCU’s ever-expanding multiverse with the highly anticipated The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the actor has already been incorporated into next year’s Doomsday.

While story bits regarding their upcoming clash against Doom remain under wraps, one X-Men star has seemingly confirmed his onscreen clash against Pascal’s Reed Richards in Doomsday.

Marvel doesn’t take its security lightly, and barring Tom Holland’s occasional slip-ups, the media giant has been pretty successful in containing story bits and surprises, until now. During a recent interview, X-Men star Alan Cumming, one...

Original Blade screenwriter David S. Goyer weighs in on the multiple delays and rewrites Marvel's Blade has been through since the MCU movie was announced. Since its announcement at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Marvel's Blade reboot has been delayed and rewritten multiple times. Blade has gone as far as casting at least three actors in supporting roles. Yet, six years after its original announcement, there have been few major Blade updates that suggest the project will release anytime soon.

Speaking to ScreenRant's Liam Crowley at the Murderbot world premiere, David S. Goyer reveals he's just as puzzled about Blade's delays as Marvel fans. Goyer wonders "What in the world is going on?" and jokes Marvel should give him a call to push the project forward. Created by Chris and Paul Weitz as a live-action adaptation of Martha Wells' The Murderbot Diaries and executive-produced by David S. Goyer, Murderbot premieres on...

The Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal saw Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), and Deadpool & Wolverine's Channing Tatum (Gambit) all board the movie.

Characters like Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), Storm (Halle Berry), and Rogue (Anna Paquin) are all notable by their absence, as is Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. We anticipate seeing a bigger X-Men team than the one above, perhaps with a few new Multiversal Variants added to the mix for good measure.

Cumming's Nightcrawler remains one of the most beloved characters from the X-Men franchise, despite only appearing in 2003's X2: X-Men United.

The teleporter's attack on the White House is considered iconic, so the actor reprising the role in Avengers: Doomsday is incredibly exciting (we're sure the Russo Brothers will at least attempt to top that classic sequence).

In a new interview, Cumming seemingly...

Kevin Feige's Marvel security lockdown has sprung a leak ... and the culprit isn't who you'd think it is. Normally, usual suspects like Mark Ruffalo and Tom Holland would be at the center of the latest spoiler controversy. And when it comes to what's likely to be the biggest blockbuster in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, well, one would think that the entire ensemble cast of "Avengers: Doomsday" would've signed NDAs and sworn oaths of secrecy and maybe even undergone a blood pact or two. Unfortunately, nobody informed returning "X-Men" actor and current "The Traitors" host Alan Cumming that this is all very, very serious business.

Cumming famously portrayed the mutant Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler in 2003's "X2: X-Men United," stealing the show in that White House invasion sequence as he teleported from one part of the building to another, and that endless "Doomsday" casting video confirmed his return...

Warning! Spoilers for X-Men #16 ahead!

The X-Menfranchise just introduced a new drug capable of boosting mutant powers into its lore; "D-x," a synthetic compound, has been developed by Beast and Magneto over the past several issues, in order to help combat the effects of the latter's "Resurrection-Linked Degenerative Sickness," which has largely kept the Master of Magnetism sidelined since his triumphant return from beyond the grave.

X-Men #16, written by Jed McKay, with art by Netho Diaz, features a pivotal progression of the franchise’s “R-lds” storyline, as Magneto tests “dextroamphetamine-x,” which causes him to proclaim: “for the first time since I came to Alaska…I feel like Magneto.”

“R-lds” has been a slow burn plot so far, but the further introduction of “D-x,” and the potential complications of its usage that Beast warns of in this issue, suggest the story of the mutant disease, and its potential cure, is...

J.J. Abrams achieved peak geekdom when he revived both Star Trek and Star Wars for the big screen. While he directed two movies in the Kelvin timeline, he sat it out for Star Trek: Beyond, after which a fourquel has been in development hell. From a Quentin Tarantino pitch to an origin story, Star Trek 4 has seen it all.

However, time might not be on Abrams’ side if he keeps pushing the development of the film. Actress Zoe Saldana, who plays Uhura in the reboot, urged the team to quicken the process as she felt the actors were getting older and would not suit the characters anymore. As the gap between sequels reaches almost ten years, it is high time Abrams greenlights a sequel.

We've known that Marvel Studios was in the process of implementing a "quality over quantity" mandate for a while now, particularly when it comes to the amount of Disney+ shows being produced.

According to a recent Wall Street Journal report, Kevin Feige has come to feel that the MCU is a "no new fans club," and has "told his Marvel Studios colleagues that watching every new Marvel TV show [and] film had started to feel more like homework than entertainment."

It's difficult to argue with this line of thinking. While more casual viewers would likely be able to follow the movies well enough if they hadn't watched the Disney+ shows, there are certain plot points and character motivations, etc, that they simply wouldn't pick up on.

At any rate, it sounds like the studio is planning to make some big changes when it comes to how much connectivity between big and...

Kevin Feige has already introduced Billy Kaplan in the MCU through WandaVision, making a second appearance in Agatha All Along as a fully realized Wiccan. Now, it seems that the character is finally going to unite with his longtime partner (and later husband), Hulkling, in the MCU.

According to insider Lizzie Hill, the MCU is heading toward introducing Hulking in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Given that the Champions, under the leadership of Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, are likely going to appear in the MCU, it can be assumed that Hulking might be close to being introduced in the franchise sometime soon.

Wrexham AFC, a football club, is making new turns in its long and complex history, a turn written by two rather unlikely people. Yes, they are A-list film stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney!

So, it is rather obvious that by becoming part of the Welsh football club Wrexham AFC, both Reynolds and McElhenney have made a major investment in the end of sports ownership.

Thus, when rumors arose in early 2020 concerning the two famous artists—Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney—trying to purchase the North Welsh football club Wrexham AFC, many considered this search for fans even more doubtful. So, let’s learn more about when these two acquired the club and the club’s rise since then!

Looks like Marvel Rivals players are going to have the time of their lives again (gooners lining up as well as it’s Emma again). What’s the hype about? Well, Emma Frost got a new emote that gives her one of the strongest items known in the Marvel universe. Yes, it’s the Cerebro, which is usually used by Professor Charles Xavier.

But this isn’t the first time Emma Frost has wielded it, as she has done so before in the comics. But why are fans making it a big deal? It’s mostly because Cerebro is famous in the X-Men fanbase. But the people who are going crazy for it are Emma Frost fans.

It almost seems, if Emma just stands still for a millisecond, the fanbase is sure to erupt. Jokes aside, if you’re an Emma Frost main and die-hard X-Men fan, this emote will blow you away.

The clock is ticking, and Doom is coming. Audiences worldwide have a date with Earth's Mightiest Heroes in less than a year. Avengers: Doomsday is around the corner, and it will be shortly followed by what's set to be the biggest Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover ever, Avengers: Secret Wars. Expectations are at an all-time high, and fans are eager to discover which of their favorite characters will make it to the big screen for these unprecedented cinematic events.

The initial cast announcement for Avengers: Doomsday gave us just a small taste of what's to come, and yet it feels like the whole meal. The Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and many more heroes will join in the fight against Doom. As if that wasn't enough, Marvel announced that there's plenty of room left for others to make an appearance, and we might finally know what they're talking about. A new report...

When it comes to directing, some filmmakers can tend to be aggressive and demanding when extracting the performances they need from the actors, one example being William Friedkin’s approach in The Exorcist. Many filmmakers also prefer to swing in the complete opposite direction by prioritizing the atmosphere on set, with Greta Gerwig being one prime example.

Jonatha Frakes falls into the latter, who made his directorial debut with Star Trek, and his fellow collaborator, Patrick Stewart, has nothing but nice things to say about the former’s directorial debut, especially its technical prowess.

Having been associated with Star Trek since making his debut in the role of William Riker opposite Sir Patrick Stewart, as of now, Frakes has cemented himself as one of the most esteemed filmmakers within the franchise.

Marvel Studios delivered plenty of exciting surprises during the Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal, including the return of some familiar faces from 20th Century Fox's X-Men franchise. There were some huge omissions, though, and even with production underway, it feels like this ensemble is far from complete.

While Kevin Feige has confirmed it wasn't the full cast, one of the most disappointing omissions was Daredevil: Born Again star Charlie Cox.

Talking to Collider, the actor was asked about not getting a chair and replied, "It’s not there, is it? [Laughs] Listen, the way that information gets to us is the same way that it gets to everyone else normally. At least historically, that's been the case. Someone sent me the link. I looked for my name. It's not there. So, maybe one day [Laughs]."

It's a real shame that Cox won't be given the chance to assemble alongside the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes,...

The X-Men’s Wolverine has an instantly recognizable costume design that hasn’t changed much over the years aside from a few subtle tweaks and color scheme swaps, with his persona while under the influence of Apocalypse being a short-lived moment in the character’s long and storied history as a superhero. In a new cosplay, Wolverine’s time as the Horseman of Death is brought to life, giving the live-action space a new way to bring Logan to the silver screen.

Creating, wearing, and showing off this deep-cut Wolverine design on social media via Instagram, Mike Washington (@mikedastardly87) is a cosplayer who has cut his teeth bringing Logan and his various character designs into the real world, with this latest look only being one of the many impressive costumes Mike has under his belt.

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for Thunderbolts*

Thunderbolts* landed in theatres, and we finally know what that asterisk stands for in the title. As speculated by numerous sources, the asterisk was in fact in place to indicate that the team was not necessarily called The Thunderbolts. In fact, the team, by the end of the film, has been dubbed The New Avengers.

In the post-credit scene of the film, the team is alerted to an interdimensional ship in Earth’s outer atmosphere, which comes into view, with a huge ‘4’ emblazoned on it. As fans would know, the next film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is expected to be The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Now, while the post-credit scene might point towards the next entry in the MCU, speculations suggest that it can point towards Avengers: Doomsday as well.

It is unknown how the post-credit scene is going to factor...

This article contains spoilers for the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts*, which is now in theaters.

The Russo Brothers may be hard at work filming Avengers: Doomsday, but they made time to promote the McU's latest arrival: Thunderbolts*. The filmmakers also teased a special post-credits scene that they directed from the set of the next Avengers film.

"If you haven't seen Thunderbolts*...Go now!" The Russo Bros. wrote in an Instagram post containing poster art for the film. "[Jacke Schreier] made a fantastic film! Congratulations to the entire cast and crew," they wrote before teasing Doomsday. "And make sure to stay until the very end of the credits... we left you a little something." Last week, Schreier teased that he didn't shoot the final post-credits sequence, and heavily hinted that it was the Russo Bros. who filmed it on the set of Doomsday. Cbr also broke the news that the Russo Brothers directed...

A new report about what went wrong for the Marvel Cinematic Universein the early 2020s reveals how Kevin Feige is now on a journey to bring Marvel Studios back to its prime. Following the thrilling conclusion to The Infinity Saga with Avengers: Endgame, the beginning of The Multiverse Saga had a lot of mixed results. While the global Covid-19 pandemic had a huge impact, Marvel Studios was also given new mandates by Disney, which played into how Phases 4 and 5 began to take several hits.

A new detailed report from Wall Street Journal sheds more light on how the early 2020s put Marvel Studios on a negative trajectory due to CEO Bob Iger's mandate that forced Feige to try to "satisfy parent company Disney's hunger for content" on Disney+ when it first debuted. Because of the excessive increase in MCU content for Disney+, it stretched Feige and his team thin.

Marvel Studios always has a plan, even though people will argue otherwise. More precisely, Kevin Feige has a plan, and after masterminding two MCU “sagas,”, the Marvel boss has reportedly been working on the next big story arc that will take the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the next decade.

When Marvel Studios kicked off the MCU with Iron Man, no one was aware that there was a plan, let alone a vision that would end up spanning dozens of movies and almost 20 years of blockbuster movies and TV shows. Following the Infinity Saga, and as the Multiverse Saga wraps up, a resolution of some problematic rights issues has brought many new characters into Marvel Studios’ sandbox, and that includes the X-Men.

According to a new report from the Wall Street Journal, Kevin Feige has now started unveiling his grand scheme for the next phases of the MCU. As many expected,...

Ever since Marvel announced Robert Downey Jr.’s casting as Doctor Doom, the fans have been highly skeptical. While the announcement generated many headlines, the Marvel purists are still not convinced by the idea. As if things were not worrying enough for Avengers: Doomsday, a new theory regarding Doom’s introduction has concerned the fans even more.

The introduction of the Multiverse has undoubtedly given Marvel a free hand to do whatever they want with their characters. At this point, Chris Evans has played both Steve Rogers and Johnny Storm in the MCU. However, the Multiverse obsession is seemingly getting a bit out of hand, as a viral theory hints that Rdj’s return may be nothing more than a cheap tactic.

Since the very start, Robert Downey Jr.

Production on Avengers: Doomsday has officially commenced, meaning that set photos, videos, and leaks are - like Thanos - inevitable. The upcoming film is sure to be a global phenomenon as it brings about a conclusion to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's ongoing Multiverse Saga, and fans aren't quite sure if they are ready for what Marvel Studios has in store for them. It's going to be major anyway, that much we can count on.

The release of Thunderbolts* has reinvigorated the MCU, as the critically-acclaimed film has received a big thumbs-up from the franchise's fans, and general audiences. That's a very good way to set the stage for next year's big Avengers reunion - and it's the kind of pleasant surprise that Marvel likes to hear after a few rough years, especially as production ramps up on Doomsday.

Speaking of surprises, a mysterious new set photo - and video -...

With the Marvel Cinematic Universe working on its X-Men reboot, Marvel Studios is reportedly further along with its planning for the mutants in the franchise. As the MCU timeline is getting closer to wrapping up The Multiverse Saga, a new age of superhero adventures is on its way from Marvel Studios with the introduction of the X-Men characters. With the character rights finally back at Marvel Studios, there will be the opportunity to finally have the X-Men and Avengers share the screen, which fans will be getting a taste of in Avengers: Doomsday.

In a new report from Wall Street Journal, more light has been shed on what is going on with the X-Men at Marvel Studios as a reboot movie is still in the works. According to WSJ, Kevin Feige has reportedly told multiple colleagues at Marvel Studios that he has a 10-year plan for the mutants in the MCU.

Marvel Studios is attempting to right the ship after an inconsistent Multiverse Saga. That's meant scaling back the number of TV shows we get on streaming, while much has been said about Kevin Feige's plan to return to quality over quantity after acquiescing to former Disney CEO Bob Chapek's demands for content, content, content.

The Wall Street Journal reveals that "Feige is leading an internal overhaul aimed at getting the studio back on track." The executive was indeed stretched too thin while attempting to oversee all these disparate projects, explaining the decline in quality from a franchise that could once do no wrong.

The site shares several interesting tidbits, including the fact, "Feige recently told colleagues he agreed to the plan because of a zealousness to tell more stories and a desire to be an 'excellent corporate citizen.' It turned out to be a mistake."

Twenty-five years ago I experienced Robert Zemeckis’ bone-chilling ghost story What Lies Beneath in theaters. I was thirteen at the time and remember being blown away by it in the moment. At the time, I was ecstatic about X-Men, which I’d seen the week prior. I distinctly remember walking out of the small theater in my home town and declaring, “That was better than X-Men!” I hadn’t seen What Lies Beneath since the early 2000s, and while I no longer think it’s better than Bryan Singer’s original entry in the long running Marvel franchise, it still holds up as a well-crafted ghost story featuring strong performances from two Hollywood icons.

Yesterday evening, the news broke that Ryan Reynolds is in the early stages of writing a new Deadpool movie that will see the Merc with a Mouth paired up with "three or four" X-Men characters.

Wade Wilson would be a supporting player in the project that's separate from the X-Men reboot being written by Michael Lesslie for Marvel Studios. Reynolds is currently working independently from the studio, so it's unclear whether the project will come to fruition.

However, with Marvel Studios looking to put the X-Men front and centre and Deadpool & Wolverine proving to be one of its biggest hits during the Multiverse Saga, we're sure Kevin Feige won't hesitate to bring Reynolds back into the fold.

What will this mysterious movie be? Well, scooper @MyTimeToShineH is strongly hinting that, as many of you have theorised, this is an X-Force feature.

Deadpool has a storied history with the team; one...

It’s been six years since Avengers: Endgame was released, and we cried buckets of tears as we bade an emotional farewell to Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man. While things have since changed, including Downey Jr. making a grand comeback to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the feared Doctor Doom, our concerns regarding Earth 616 have seldom ceased to exist.

So much so that a resurfaced interview clip of Kevin Feige has once again brought the discussion surrounding the anchor being of Sacred Timeline’s Earth 616 – where most of the events of the MCU take place – to the fore, and how Tony Stark’s demise may ring the death knell of the universe.

While Iron Man may or may not be the anchor being of Earth-616, the stakes are higher if he is indeed the Mvp in this universe, which Feige carefully chose neither to confirm nor to deny during the interview.

It is no secret that Marvel is not where it was before 2018. "Avengers: Endgame" was the perfect bookend of that whole franchise, but when the Marvel Cinematic Universe charged forward, the pandemic messed up any and all schedules for a cohesive release order. Then there's the Jonathan Majors scandal that completely derailed the plans they did have, and when you add that to Disney+ releasing more Marvel Studios TV shows than one could feasibly watch, the interest in the grand Marvel Cinematic Universe experiment has waned significantly in recent years — as seen by the box office results.

This makes the positive response to "Thunderbolts*" — like /Film's own Bj Colangelo writing a glowing review praising the movie's maturity — a much welcome break. Having seen the movie, however, one thing becomes clear about what makes the movie just such a fun time.

"Thunderbolts*" is based on the comic book antihero team of the same name,...

Each month, the creative team of Nyx reminded Marvel Comics fans what it meant to be a fan of mutants and the X-Men. It wasn’t just the uncanny powers or astonishing battles. The purpose was to show the battle for acceptance (something people worldwide can understand). Sometimes that meant using their abilities to take down their enemies. A lot of the time, they used their voices to stand up and bring people together.

At first, this series started with Kamala Khan, Sophie Cuckoo, Anole, Prodigy, and Wolverine (Laura Kinney). Eventually, Synch, Hellion, and others joined the Nyx revolution in NYC. The more people joined, the more dangerous it got for them. Thankfully, no matter how bad things got, no one abandoned the cause.

For me, the emotional scenes within this series are what made it great. Sometimes it was the happiness in how characters like Anole and Laura have evolved as heroes.

Ryan Reynolds gave one of the biggest hits of last year with Deadpool and Wolverine, officially entering the MCU. While the film gave fans a much-needed nostalgia trip and a team-up that everyone wanted with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine returning, their future in the MCU still seems unclear.

Reynolds, however, is reportedly preparing pitches for a potential Deadpool 4. The actor had previously stated that the merc-with-the-mouth might have had his final rodeo with the trilogy, but it seems like he has some interesting plans with a fourquel. With Avengers: Doomsday around the corner, it might still be a far-fetched idea to see him join the team.

Ryan Reynolds might return as Deadpool, but not in a solo movie this time. Instead, he’s thinking about making a film where Deadpool teams up with a few X-Men characters. It’s still very early, and nothing has been pitched to Marvel Studios yet. But Reynolds is working on a few ideas and writing treatments on his own.

This comes after the huge success of Deadpool & Wolverine, which made over a billion. The movie became the highest-grossing R-rated film ever. Even with that big win, Reynolds said he didn’t want to do another solo Deadpool film.

Now, nine months later, he’s planning something new. According to sources who spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, Reynolds is writing different versions of a movie that would include three or four X-Men characters.

Deadpool would still appear, but not as the main character. Reynolds thinks that by putting Deadpool in a smaller role,...

Avengers: Doomsday began filming on April 28, and several cast members, including Robert Downey Jr., are currently in the U.K. for the production. It appears that the cast members got some time off from filming, as a few of them got together for a special screening of the newly-released Thunderbolts*.

While most of the cast members of the new film are yet to work with Downey Jr. and the rest of the Og cast, they found a familiar face in Sebastian Stan’s Bucky. Among the actors watching, Simu Liu and Channing Tatum are the new additions, reprising their roles from Shang-Chi and Deadpool & Wolverine.

Thunderbolts* marks the end of MCU Phase 5. From the reviews, it appears that the film has managed to end this phase on a high note.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe ship seems to be course correcting nicely after traversing the dismal choppy waters of Phase 4 and Phase 5, which included disasters like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels. Despite those glaring disappointments, Deadpool & Wolverine reinvigorated the MCU after its triumphant theatrical release in the summer of 2024, and now it’s been revealed that Ryan Reynolds is indeed exploring another Deadpool film — one that would feature more of the X-Men other than just Colossus (Stefan Kapičić) and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) as primary characters.

According to a new report (May 2) published by The Hollywood Reporter, Reynolds is in the early stages of penning treatments for a team-up between "three or four members" of the X-Men and the chimichanga-eating Merc with a Mouth. However, it’s important to note that Reynolds has not pitched any of these new ideas to Marvel Studios at the time of this writing.

During his appearance at the Time 100 Summit last month, Ryan Reynolds seemed to suggest that he'd already begun work on his next Deadpool adventure, and it looks like we may now know what that might be.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Deadpool & Wolverine star/writer/producer has been quietly developing a film that would see his fan-favorite Merc with a Mouth team-up with the X-Men. 

He's still exploring ideas and has been writing a variety of treatments in his effort to crack the story for what would be an ensemble film that would feature at least three or four prominent X-Men characters. He would still appear as Deadpool, albeit in a supporting role rather than as the main lead.

According to their sources, Reynolds believes keeping his loud-mouthed hero adjacent to the spotlight could allow the X-Men characters to be used in more unique and unexpected ways, which is certainly an exciting prospect.

Robert Downey Jr. has assembled the Avengers to support the Thunderbolts*.

The former Iron Man star shared a photo on Instagram of himself and a few of his Avengers: Doomsday co-stars Friday after they watched the MCU’s latest installment. Downey congratulated the “So cool, fresh and deep” film alongside “the Old Avengers” and a few new faces with a group shot.

“Just wow!!! Dinner and a show with the Old Avengers. So cool, fresh, and deep. Big congrats. #thunderbolts,” Downey wrote on Friday.

He posed for a group shot alongside a few of his Avengers: Endgame co-stars, including Thor’s Chris Hemsworth, Ant-Man lead Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie, who’s been a part of Captain America for years and recently took over the franchise, and Winston Duke, who played M’Baku in Black Panther.

Fellow Marvel alum Simu Liu,...

Ryan Reynolds may not be itching to make "Deadpool 4," but he's got plans to bring back the Merc with a Mouth. While nothing has been confirmed by Disney or Marvel Studios at this juncture, it has been confirmed that Reynolds is indeed working on a new project that will include Wade Wilson. The important twist? The proposed project movie would also include other members of the X-Men.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reynolds is working on "various treatments" for a movie that would include Deadpool and three or four other X-Men characters. As for who exactly might join up with Wade this time around? That remains a mystery, but Reynolds previously shared his belief that Deadpool works better as a supporting character, so this news lines up with what the actor/writer/producer has said in the past. It also further builds on something Reynolds teased himself recently.

"I'm writing a little something right now,...

Deadpool & Wolverine has been Marvel’s biggest hit in recent years, so it’s no surprise the studio is eager to bring those characters back. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ryan Reynolds is actively developing ideas for a new Deadpool movie that would feature several X-Men characters.

The potential project would be an ensemble with three or four X-Men characters, but Deadpool may only be a supporting player in the movie. The report states that it’s still very early days and Reynolds hasn’t yet pitched it to the studio. The actor is known for going through a lot of concepts before he lands on one he likes. Deadpool & Wolverine went through many iterations before it became the billion-dollar blockbuster that revitalized the Marvel Cinematic Universe (at least temporarily).

Following the success of Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds is "exploring ideas" for a potential Deadpool movie that would see the Merc with a Mouth team-up with the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of the biggest events in The Multiverse Saga was the arrival of Wade Wilson in the MCU, thanks to the X-Men rights being back at Marvel Studios. After Reynolds teased last month that he may be working on a new MCU project with Deadpool, a new report is offering more clues about how the mutants are going to be used in the franchise.

In a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, the trade revealed that Reynolds is developing ideas for a possible Marvel Studios movie that would see Deadpool and X-Men characters team up. While the untitled movie will involve X-Men characters, this is separate from the X-Men reboot that Michael Lesslie is writing for Marvel Studios.

Deadpool may be done flying solo, but that doesn’t mean Ryan Reynolds is done with the Merc With a Mouth. In fact, Deadpool & Wolverine may have been the last standalone outing for Wade Wilson — but if Reynolds gets his way, his katana-wielding antihero could be headed back to the big screen with some mutant company.

According to new report from THR, Reynolds is in the early stages of developing a new Deadpool movie that would feature an ensemble of X-Men characters. It’s still extremely early — no pitch has been made to Marvel Studios at this time — but Reynolds is reportedly working on multiple treatments with the idea of bringing “three or four” iconic mutants into the mix. In a twist, the film wouldn’t necessarily center on Deadpool. Instead, he might play more of a supporting role to allow space for new dynamics.

Ryan Reynolds Doesn't Want...

Reportedly, Ryan Reynolds is plotting his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The news comes after Reynolds cast doubt on Deadpool appearing in the upcoming Avengers movies in the midst of Deadpool & Wolverinegetting caught up into a messy legal battle.

Per THR, a new report claims that Reynolds is "quietly plotting" his next film as the Deadpool character. The planned film will not be a third solo film for Deadpool, but rather another team-up film, this one featuring more X-Men characters. It's noted in the report that Reynolds is actively "exploring ideas" for the right story that could team up his Deadpool alongside other X-Men fan favorites, given how well Deadpool & Wolverine performed worldwide. Reynolds has not personally commented on the report as of this time.

Via the report, Reynolds has been working on various treatments with Deadpool featured alongside three or four major X-Men characters; it wasn't stated if...

In the aftermath of Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds remained firm that he did not see another solo Deadpool movie in his future. That was despite the film grossing $1.338 billion, a number that validated the extraordinary amount of creative control he wields over the franchise, and which proved he was the most valuable new player in the Marvel Studios arsenal.

Now, nine months after Deadpool & Wolverine became the top-grossing R-rated movie of all time, Reynolds is quietly plotting his return to the character, but true to his word, it won’t be as the lead of a solo movie.

Reynolds is exploring ideas for a Deadpool movie that would feature X-Men characters, as well as continuing to script the Paramount comedy Boy Band after making writing a priority for much of this year before tackling other obligations, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

The X-Men have long been one of Marvel’s most iconic teams, representing the struggle for mutant equality and the pursuit of justice. Their legacy is ingrained in the very fabric of the Marvel Universe, and it's a title that seems impossible to replace. However, in X-Men #15, a new team is claiming the title of X-Men, and the preview pages for the following issue give us a taste of what's to come.

X-Men #16, written by Jed MacKay and illustrated by Ryan Stegman, introduces us to a group of villains who claim to be the X-Men. The preview pages show Scott Summers identifying the group as the Santo Marco Six.

The new group of mutants seems to display impressive powers, and their nickname suggests some heavy lore implications for their origin. These villains intend to claim the X-Men’s legacy as their own while working under the shadowy 3k.

The Avengers have assembled once again — well, some of them.

Marvel star Robert Downey Jr. posted a photo with some of his fellow cast members from next year’s major tentpole “Avengers: Doomsday” to watch the latest MCU movie, “Thunderbolts*,” all together.

“Just wow!!! Dinner and a show with the Old Avengers. So cool, fresh, and deep. Big congrats to the New Avengers (and Bob). #Thunderbolts,” Downey wrote on Friday, ahead of the opening weekend for “Thunderbolts*.” He and his cast mates all made T’s with their hands in honor of the new Thunderbolts team.

Downey posed with several old and familiar faces. He was with his longtime “Thor” buddy Chris Hemsworth, “Ant-Man” star Paul Rudd and Anthony Mackie, the new face of the “Captain America” franchise as Sam Wilson. There was also Simu Liu, who...

It's nice when the lads go for a night out on a Friday, isn't it? That's exactly what one of the most star-studded screenings you could imagine at an impromptu time has given us, as Simu Liu and a few mates went down to the pictures for a screening of Thunderbolts*, the latest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Who did he go with, you ask? We'll fill you in. First of all, there's Winston Duke, Paul Rudd and Channing Tatum. Pretty good, right? Anthony Mackie was there too. Captain America likes a good flick, after all. Chris Hemsworth and his giant arms tagged along and, oh, who's that at the back? It's Doctor Doom himself, Robert Downey Jr. looking distinctly... unlike Tony Stark.

This sneak peek at the cast of Avengers: Doomsday comes as one of the movies preceding the biggest event film in half a decade opens, and...

Back in March, Marvel Studios released a video which gradually revealed the sprawling cast of Avengers: Doomsday. Several names were notable by their absence, but we were told that another announcement was imminent.

Officially returning for the next major MCU event movie will be:

Paul Rudd as Ant-Man; Simu Liu as Shang-Chi; Tom Hiddleston as Loki; Lewis Pullman as Sentry; Florence Pugh as Yelena; Danny Ramirez as Falcon; Ian McKellen as Magneto; Sebastian Stan as Bucky; Winston Duke as M’Baku; Chris Hemsworth as Thor; Kelsey Grammer as Beast; James Marsden as Cyclops; Channing Tatum as Gambit; Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent; Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm; Rebecca Romijn as Mystique; Patrick Stewart as Professor X; Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler; Letitia Wright as Black Panther; Tenoch Huerta Mejia as Namor; Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards; Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost; Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm; David Harbour as Red Guardian...

Last month, the Marvel Studios social media accounts started live-streaming a video they labeled as an all-caps Announcement. The video showed a soundstage where, one by one, chairs reserved for actors were revealed, with a new chair coming into view every 10 minutes or so. As it turns out, this was a very long and slow way of revealing (a large chunk of) the cast of Avengers: Doomsday, which is now in production and aiming for a May 1, 2026 theatrical release. The names of twenty-seven cast members were shown that day, with Marvel teasing, “There’s always room for more…” With cameras now rolling, we’ve been waiting to see if they’ll announce the rest of the cast list with more chair backs, or they’ll find a different way to do it. And while we wait, industry journalist Jeff Sneider of The InSneider has been sent a list that his...

A credible rumor has been circulating online that Marvel Studios might be eyeing Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan for a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If rumors prove to be true, then the Marvel and Bollywood fans are in for a massive celebration.

The source of the rumor, as reported by the Times of India, is a popular Marvel scooper handle on X called @MarvelLeaks22. According to a post on the page, Shah Rukh Khan seems to be in early talks to enter the MCU to essay an undisclosed role.

The post also specified that the role will not be in Avengers: Doomsday, which has led to some speculation about who the actor could be playing in the MCU.

Despite the scoop suggesting otherwise, a potent case can be made for Shah Rukh Khan as Doctor Doom Shah Rukh Khan in the Indian film Pathaan || Credit: Yash Raj Films...

There’s a new Marvel team in town — and no, they’re not the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men or even the Eternals. “Thunderbolts*,” starring Florence Pugh and a handful of other Marvel anti-heroes and villains, is opening this weekend at the box office.

The superhero movie, directed by Jake Schreier, has made $11.5 million in previews so far. It’s expected to make between $70 million to $75 million in its opening weekend domestically, and worldwide it’s projected to end up with $160 million to $175 million.

“Thunderbolts*” is on pace to open a little behind this February’s earlier Marvel adventure, “Captain America: Brave New World.” The fourth Cap movie made $12 million in previews and opened to $88 million over the weekend, $100 million through the extended Presidents’ Day holiday weekend and $192.4 million globally. It ended its run with $414 million globally, which came in at an overall loss. “Thunderbolts” cost $180 million to produce and approximately $100 million to market,...
