Daniel Radcliffe Sets the Record Straight on Wolverine Rumors

Image
The future looks like it is going to be anything but boring for Marvel Studios and the MCU. Ever since Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the Marvel toybox expanded ten-fold. Coming with the Fox purchase were all the heroes that the studio owned the film and TV rights to. This list included Wolverine, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four.  Fans have gotten their first tease of these characters coming to the MCU thanks to Patrick Stewart's inclusion in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  and the announcement of Jon Watts' Fantastic Four film. However, many are still wondering when a true MCU X-Men movie will be on the way, and more importantly, who will play this version of the mutant team.  ADVERTISEMENT One name that has come up plenty is Daniel Radcliffe as the adamantium-infused Wolverine. The Harry Potter actor has played into these rumors recently, having fun with reporters when asked about it, but this has only led to even...

Moon Knight Star Adds Fuel to Avengers Cameo Rumors

Image
Moon Knight  is mere days away from its premiere on Disney+, and fans are eager with anticipation. The MCU streaming series features Oscar Isaac as the titular hero and looks to be a darker take on the world of Marvel Studios. Isaac's Marc Spector will be center stage for the first time as he gets tied up in a mystery connected to the gods of Ancient Egypt while grappling with his own demons.  Moon Knight  has been in the works for quite some time now, but audiences are finally getting their first taste of the series as the press releases their thoughts on the first few episodes. These reviews, in advance of the show's official premiere, have been mostly positive with many calling it one of the best Disney+ projects to come from Marvel Studios.  ADVERTISEMENT However, this title seems to be a little different for Marvel as it looks to be relatively standalone when compared to its other MCU endeavors. Isaac's hero is seemingly on his own in th...

Marvel Boss Debunks Rumors About Doctor Strange 2 Director Problems

Image
Scott Derrickson was first announced as the director of  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  in 2018 after first taking the reins on 2016's Doctor Strange . At San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Multiverse of Madness was revealed to be an MCU movie that would make fans jump, mainly due to Derrickson being a horror director at heart.  However, in January 2020, Derrickson departed the project. C. Robert Cargill, co-writer of the original  Doctor Strange  film, later revealed in a May 2021 interview that  "creative differences"  were the main reason behind the exit, although nobody elaborated any further on the news:  ADVERTISEMENT "It was creative differences. [Scott Derrickson] wanted to do one movie, and Marvel wanted to do another movie." Although the veteran filmmaker left the director's chair, Derrickson is still attached to the project as its executive producer. Derrickson  reassured fans that he is very happy with his ...

Taron Egerton Says He's Ready for Marvel Role Amid Wolverine Rumors

Image
The Multiverse is in full effect with  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  set to hit theaters on May 6. With it comes the possibility of other franchises making their MCU debuts, with one of the more likely being the X-Men. Following Marvel Studios' acquisition of the 20th Century Fox brand, it was heavily anticipated that one of the biggest superhero teams of all time would be coming into the interconnected universe sooner rather than later. In the official trailer for  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , an off-screen voice that seemed to be Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier had a line of dialogue. This all but confirmed that the X-Men were quickly on their way, and it is impossible to talk about the group without mentioning one of the most popular superheroes ever - Wolverine. ADVERTISEMENT When it comes to Wolverine, the first person that comes to mind is Hugh Jackman. He portrayed the Adamantium-filled beast in eight X-Men...

WandaVision Star Reacts to Doctor Strange 2 Rumors With House of M Reference

Image
Following Elizabeth Olsen's Phase 4 debut in WandaVision , she will bring a more powerful Scarlet Witch than ever before into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . The MCU's first movie of 2022 is already building substantial momentum in terms of hype, largely thanks to Wanda's story continuing after her starring efforts on Disney+. Although Marvel Studios' Disney+ shows are deeply interwoven with the movies, fans haven't gotten the chance to see just how tied together they are through Marvel Studios' first year of streaming shows. ADVERTISEMENT However, this will all change with Olsen's co-starring role in the Doctor Strange sequel. This was confirmed even further in the recent Super Bowl trailer, in which a fully suited-up Scarlet Witch fell to her knees in front of a Wanda Variant in the living room of her Westview, New Jersey home. Rumors have pointed to the MCU looking into adapting some of Wanda's story fro...

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...

Ryan Reynolds Reacts to Doctor Strange 2's Deadpool Rumors

Now that Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox is complete, Marvel fans are highly anticipating the Marvel Cinematic Universe debut of the X-Men. At the top of that list is Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool, who already has two solo movies under his belt and is well on his way toward a third. While mutants remain an uncertain distance away, the immediate future for the MCU is Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . That film will center around Benedict Cumberbatch's Stephen Strange and Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff, but it could also be the launching pad for the X-Men. Thanks to the sequel's second full trailer from Super Bowl LVI, hype is building exponentially for classic versions of the X-Men to find their way into the Marvel Studios narrative. Sir Patrick Stweart's Professor Charles Xavier is already confirmed to be part of the movie as a member of Marvel's Illuminati, and that could be just the start of it. ADVERTISEMENT ...

Multiverse of Madness Report Debunks Scary Scarlet Witch Rumors

Image
Despite all the chaos and surprises that Spider-Man: No Way Home  delivered, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  looks to be Marvel Studios' biggest venture since the record-breaking  Avengers: Endgame.  With both Benedict Cumberbatch's titular sorcerer and Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch coming back, the heroic cast was already looking stacked. But the most recent trailer has made clear the immense scale of the Multiverse romp between Ultron Bots and the return of Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier. While fans' attention may be focussed on all the cameos and game-changing events  Multiverse of Madness  promises, there's far more to the long-awaited sequel than just that. Ever since its initial conception, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has promised it will be the MCU's first scary film and, with veteran horror director Sam Raimi at the helm, it appears set to deliver on expectations.

Thor 4 Star Teases LGBTQ+ Relationship Amid Captain Marvel & Valkyrie Rumors

Image
Marvel Studios is hard at work on post-production for the next chapter in the Thor franchise:  Thor: Love and Thunder . The film series underwent a bit of a creative revamp in 2017's  Thor: Ragnarok,  which injected a bit more humor, by the hand of director, Taika Waititi.  Love and Thunder  will reunite most of the cast members from  Ragnarok  and with Waititi at the helm yet again, fans are likely in for a wild ride. One of the characters Waititi introduced into the MCU is the fan-favorite Brunnhilde, (mainly referred to as Valkyrie in the films) as portrayed by Tessa Thompson. Valkyrie is an ex-member of an elite Asgardian fighting force who was slaughtered by Hela, the Goddess of Death.
