Deadpool Creator Teases Doctor Strange 2's Wolverine Cameo

Image
The MCU is about to break the Multiverse wide open with the upcoming release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , bringing in characters from all across Marvel history. Rumors have pointed to dozens of potential heroes and villains coming into play - everybody from Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool to a new version of Wolverine, and that's just the start. One major theme for the movie causing mass excitement across the fandom is the possibility that Marvel Studios will finally introduce a version of the X-Men, even if it's through Variants. Patrick Stewart's Professor Charles Xavier is practically confirmed to play a role in the Illuminati, which could kickstart the MCU's long-awaited inclusion of Mutants in the overarching narrative. ADVERTISEMENT In line with this X-Men theme is a rumor that this movie will give MCU fans their first look at a new version of James Logan, even though it likely won't be Hugh Jackson's iterati...

Ms. Marvel Creator Reveals Why Lead Star Iman Vellani Is Perfectly Cast

Image
Ms. Marvel  is set to feature the MCU debut of Iman Vellani as the titular hero, marking the newcomer's first acting role. Before being cast as Kamala Khan, it was revealed that Vellani  was part of the Next Wave Committee at the 2019 Toronto Film Festival  "which was tasked with adding a special tag to films"  that  "would resonate with their peers,"  meaning that the actress is already making an effort to  "help diversify the industry." A good part of Ms. Marvel 's promotional push was mainly focused on Vellani's love for the Marvel universe, with its first teaser actually showing the actress' reaction to being cast for the role. In addition, the MCU newcomer also released a homemade short film featuring Ms. Marvel and Iron Man, and it was complete with a shoutout to Robert Downey Jr.  ADVERTISEMENT From the get-go, it's clear that Vellani is passionate about all things Marvel, and a new interview with ...

Image
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is filled with new and exciting characters, including an MCU newcomer in America Chavez. The upcoming MCU sequel marks the live-action debut of the character, and she will be portrayed by Xochitl Gomez. Before the character’s appearance in Multiverse of Madness , Chavez had a long history in the pages of Marvel Comics. The Marvel hero was created by Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta, and she first made an appearance in 2011's Vengeance . After that, Chavez went on to appear alongside other heroes in 2013's Young Avengers and 2015's Ultimates . The character's success ultimately led to her own solo comic series in 2016.  ADVERTISEMENT Given the character's vast history in the comics, one would raise the question of whether the creators are ecstatic about the hero's upcoming debut on screen, especially after a well-documented compensation issue under the Marvel brand.  Now, half of Chavez...

Netflix's Luke Cage Creator Voices Censorship Concerns Amid Disney+ Rumors

Image
In mid-February, Netflix announced that it would be losing the streaming rights to all of its Marvel shows by the end of the month. This would include its original slate of series, which made up an entire Marvel era in and of themselves.  Daredevil ,  Jessica Jones ,  Luke Cage , and  Iron Fist  will all be finding a new home. The only problem is: nobody knows where that'll be. One of the biggest roadblocks that keep them from making a simple switch over to Disney+ is the content held within. The Netflix shows were always meant to be for a mature audience; it's part of what separated them from the other MCU projects, aside from being television series. ADVERTISEMENT That sadly doesn't mix with the service Disney+ tends to be, nor does it match the image Disney has classically tried to stick with. People getting their heads smashed in by car doors doesn't really fit the family-friendly narrative. Well, now the creator of Netflix's  Lu...

Deadpool Creator Reveals Why He's Still Nervous About MCU Crossover

Image
When Disney's acquisition of Fox was made official nearly three years ago, Marvel Studios came into possession of some of Marvel's most iconic characters. This included the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and everyone's favorite merc with a mouth Deadpool. While fans eagerly await the arrival of the MCU mutants and Fantastic Four, Deadpool sits as a somewhat big question mark for the franchise.  While these other names will likely be recast and get a brand new story,  Deadpool   3  is in pre-production with the team that was behind the first two films under the Fox banner. Coming along with the film is seemingly the Wade Wilson fans already know in Ryan Reynolds.  ADVERTISEMENT But since the House of Mouse purchased these rights, the question of what a Marvel Studios Deadpool movie would look like has been asked. Could Disney back a fully R-Rated Marvel adventure? Well, Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld has been outspoken in regard to Disney's purc...
