Kevin Feige said in an interview with DiscussingFilm that Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine in the new Marvel tentpole “Deadpool & Wolverine” proves that a door can certainly be opened for Robert Downey Jr. or Chris Evans to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Iron Man or Captain America, respectively.
“That’s the key, right? How do you do it in a way that maintains what has come before, and in a great way? And we’ve been spending, you know, the last two-plus years figuring that out for Wolverine,” Feige said when asked about Downey and Evans coming back. “So, what’s to come? We’ll see. We’re just proud that we, I think, have figured it out for Wolverine. I think Hugh’s appearance and starring role in [‘Deadpool & Wolverine’] is a great sign that it can be done — if great care is taken.”

One of the biggest movies of the year is upon us. That's not an exaggeration, and it's worth pointing out how true it really is. "Deadpool & Wolverine" is the biggest movie to come around in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a long time. Not only is Ryan Reynolds finally back as the Merc With a Mouth six years after 2018's "Deadpool 2," but he brought Hugh Jackman out of retirement to play Wolverine once more. It's the on screen team-up that many comic book fans have been waiting years to see. So, just how much is there to see? Is it just what happens up to the credits, or is Marvel hiding a little something extra for fans?
Dating back to 2008's "Iron Man," credits scenes have been a staple of the MCU, whether it's setting up something seemingly huge for the future, like what we got in "The Marvels" post-credits scene,...

Superhero films didn’t start with Robert Downey Jr. declaring “I am Iron Man” — there were blockbuster hits, huge swing-and-a-miss failures, and pockets of comic-book cinematic universes way before the MCU came along. The history of Marvel at the movies is long, complicated, and a virtual multiverse of copyright ownerships and dodgy licensing deals, all competing against each other and jockeying for position until the One True I.P. God — some call him “Kevin” — had enough divine Disney clout to gather everything under one corporate umbrella. The gentleman’s agreement...

At a certain point, the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe became a lot more compelling than any of the stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For me, that point arrived during the end credits of the very first “Iron Man” movie in 2008. For the MCU itself, that point arrived with “Avengers: Endgame” some 11 years later, when the defining mega-franchise of the 21st century reached its most summative moment, smashed through the looking glass so hard that it shattered, and — to an even greater extent than it had thus far — began to re-center the miracle of its own success as its prevailing mythos.
That process inevitably led to the creation of a multiverse, which turned the MCU into a meta-textual jigsaw puzzle that could only be reassembled by looking for stray pieces off-screen. It didn’t take long before the sort of knowledge that used to enhance these movies became required to understand them,...

Despite several pushbacks in the post-Endgame years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has managed to keep itself relevant thanks to rumors, speculations, and hope among ardent fans who believe the superhero franchise will one day make a smashing return. Marvel Comics has amassed a massive fan following, which includes the likes of the Oscar-winning star Matthew McConaughey.

When Tom Hiddleston Had Countless Questions For His Character Loki & Wished To Ask Him If There Was A Chance(Photo Credit – Instagram)
Marvel is always lauded for its casting choices, from Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man to Chris Hemsworth as Thor, but there could not have been any other actor who could have played these parts. Similarly, Tom Hiddleston’s casting as Loki was one of the best decisions ever, but he initially auditioned for Thor’s role. But that’s all in the past! Loki is a very complex character who was initially the villain, but the audience fell in love with the character, mainly because of Tom’s performance.
Over the years and the course of several movies, he eventually turned into a friend, and thanks to his Disney+ series, his story arc progressed further, and he became a savior in the MCU. But when he started...

Being a hero means embodying the courage to battle, defend, and rise unwaveringly against even the most formidable adversary. It also signifies putting one’s life at risk, again and again, until the battle is won or die trying. And in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this could not hold more true for Chris Evans’ character, Captain America.

Whether it is jumping on a live grenade or going against an enemy twice his size, all through the MCU and Marvel comics, Captain America is always ready to put his life on the line. Despite his zeal and courage, the character’s one daring act in Avengers: Endgame is often overlooked in light of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man’s sacrifice in the film.

Opposed to the MCU, which took its time to gradually craft a coherent shared universe, Dceu fumbled the bag hard with its second outing, Bvs, from which it never really recovered. However, with James Gunn now on board, who is set to lead the new chapter in the DC universe, which will start later this year, fans are optimistic about the future of the DC brand.
Moreover, Gunn’s leadership also had many hoping that a DC vs Marvel crossover might no longer be a distant dream, as Kevin Feige also seems keen on a potential collaboration.

Soon, Hugh Jackman will return as Logan in the highly-anticipated "Deadpool & Wolverine," hopefully returning the Marvel Cinematic Universe to glory in the process. If there's one role the Aussie actor is known for, after all, it's Wolverine/Logan, and as "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" taught us all, cramming your movie full of fan-favorite cameos is a recipe for box office success — though, in the latter's case, not necessarily for a good film.
Jackman has spoken about how he saved "Deadpool 3" with a phone call to star Ryan Reynolds, on which he expressed his desire to appear in the movie, prompting the literal "ka-ching" sound in the minds of Reynolds and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige.

Vital Thrills talked to the cast and crew of the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine, which will open in theaters on July 26. For an idea of the tone of this film, here is the official synopsis:
“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date—Deadpool & Wolverine. A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit up again with an even more reluctantlier… reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to—F**k. Synopses are so f**king stupid.”
Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy
We were also able to view the first 40 minutes of the film with a montage of scenes from later on. We’ll keep this as spoiler-free as possible so you can go in fresh. In the footage, Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, is...

In Hollywood, trailers and teasers are a powerful marketing tool to inform viewers what to expect from a movie. But even so, there’s a fine line between generating hype and giving away the key elements of the movie. This was the main concern that the audience had when the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine trailer revealed Dafne Keen’s involvement in the movie.

Exclusive: Oscar-nominated writer-producers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby have signed with Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment for management, Deadline has learned.
The news comes following word this morning that the pair have been tapped to script Shadow Tiger, a feature adaptation of the comic book from Sharad Devarajan.

Iron Man represents Maisel’s past as the founding chairman of Marvel Studios, where he had the idea for characters such as Iron Man, Captain America and Thor to live in a shared cinematic universe. Grell represents his future at Mythos Studios, where he is plotting a new cinematic universe called Ekos that will feature not just Grell, but potentially hundreds of other characters.

There’s buzz that Robert Downey Jr. could rejoin the Marvel movies – but not as Iron Man! Some think he may play Doctor Doom instead.
Fans have speculated Rdj might come back without messing up Iron Man’s big ending in “Avengers: Endgame.” Doctor Doom is a genius villain, so having Rdj play him could work well. Both characters are super smart, but Doom isn’t a hero like Iron Man.
Kevin Feige from Marvel said any returning role has to further the story. Doctor Doom is set to be a big bad guy going forward. He’ll likely debut in the new “Fantastic Four” then show up in future crossovers against Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
People think Rdj as Doom could reboot audience interest since some were sad to see Iron Man go. The next phase seems to focus on the multiverse, and Doom figures to be a force across realities.

Once a popular fan cast for playing Batman, Armie Hammer has met one of the worst fates a celebrity can ever meet: allegations of s*xual misconduct, including assault and cannibalism.

Fans have their own favorite version of Spider-Man, and each actor has brought something special and unique to his portrayal of the beloved Marvel hero. Tobey Maguire first brought the character to the big screen in 2002, and after his 5-year tenure, Andrew Garfield took the mantle in 2012.

The franchise was rebooted for the third time in 2017 after Tom Holland swung into action. His first appearance in the MCU would be in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. Despite the individual flair that Garfield and Holland contributed to Spider-Man, there’s always something distinct and precious about Maguire’s interpretation.
Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker Stopping The Train Is Still The Best Spider-Man Action Scene
One of the highlights and most unforgettable scenes in Tobey Maguire’s entire Spider-Man run was when he tried to stop a moving train to save a bunch of innocent people.

Kevin Feige is extremely happy with the upcoming Marvel film Deadpool & Wolverine. The film, which will be Ryan Reynolds’s and Hugh Jackman’s MCU debut, will see the two X-Men characters share screen space for the first time. It will also see Jackman don the comic-accurate yellow suit for the first time on screen.
While the hype is off the charts for the legendary team-up, Feige seemed to have a great compliment to the film while also not overhyping it. The Marvel chief compared the film to two of the MCU’s greatest entries, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

It’s well known that Hollywood loves and supports a good comeback, and nobody knows that better than Robert Downey Jr.
The veteran actor battled his way through substance abuse issues, brushes with the law and a bruised reputation to become a Marvel superstar and an Academy Award-winning actor. Behind the scenes, he has, for nearly two decades, been quietly reaching his hand back and helping other stars on their sobriety journeys, an act of service that is a tenet of 12-step programs. Armie Hammer confirmed this during a new appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
Hammer, who has been on something of a press tour as he opens up on the scandal that claimed his marriage and career, sat for an extended one-hour and 20-minute interview with Morgan.

Getting the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the point where it is today was like skating uphill. Sure, pretty much every one of them is going to put butts in movie theater seats – and many will even show up in costume or their favorite faux-vintage tee – but it wasn’t always a guarantee. Iron Man was a monumental risk in practically every front that, thankfully for the studio, paid off in dividends. But current Marvel head Kevin Feige doesn’t just look to Iron Man as the launching point but rather some perhaps unexpected choices.
Speaking with Deadline, Kevin Feige gave credit to a pair of Marvel movies that came before he stepped into his role in 2007, the year before Iron Man hit theaters. “I said for a long time that the one-two punch for Marvel, pre-dating me, was Blade and then X-Men. Blade was a character that nobody knew from the comics,...

The Marvel properties that are slinging to the web this fall via McFarlane Toys are 1:10th scale figures of Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, and Deadpool, while Captain America gets the 1:6th scale treatment. Both Spidey and Captain America come from McFarlane’s own Spider-Man #6 and The Amazing Spider-Man #323, respectively, while he has gone back to the archives for Jim Lee’s Wolverine (X-Men #1), John Romita Jr.’s Iron Man (The Invincible Iron Man #126) and Rob Liefeld’s Deadpool (The New Mutants #8).

Armie Hammer continued his recent press tour with an appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on Friday, where he discussed the aftermath of the sexual abuse allegations brought against him in 2021.
As a result of the allegations — which included rape, engaging in cannibalism fantasies and coercing partners into Bdsm scenarios — the “Social Network” and “Call Me by Your Name” actor exited several projects, was dropped by his publicist and agent and became the subject of an LAPD investigation. Ultimately, no criminal charges were brought against Hammer, who has denied the allegations and maintained that all relationships were consensual.
Despite the fallout, Hammer shared with Morgan that some of his former Hollywood colleagues did reach out, including Robert Downey Jr. But when asked about reports that the “Iron Man” star paid for his rehab, Hammer said, “No, he did not. He did not pay for me to go to rehab.”

“Joe and Anthony Russo will return.”
The Hollywood Reporter reports that Marvel is now in talks to bring Joe and Anthony Russo back as directors of Avengers 5 and 6. The Russos helmed some of the franchise’s biggest hits, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The Hollywood Reporter notes that the discussions are still in early phases, but they seem to be on their way.
Given the success of those films, and the difficulty that MCU head Kevin Fiege has had finding someone to helm the next Avengers movies, having gone through Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings‘s Destin Daniel Cretton and Shawn Levy of Deadpool & Wolverine, the Russos’ return seems like a no brainer. After all, they’re a very safe pair of hands when it comes to these sorts of massive, franchise-defining blockbusters. However, there is also risk here. Feige might do well to...

Almost as soon as "Avengers: Endgame" brought one major era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to an unofficial close and marked the end of the so-called Infinity Saga, many turned towards fevered speculation over how the studio would top itself moving forward. That journey has hit a couple of speed bumps along the way — first as the pandemic disrupted Kevin Feige's carefully laid-out plans, then further exacerbated by a string of critical and financial disappointments, and finally brought to a new low point as Jonathan Majors, set up to play a significant antagonistic role as Kang the Conqueror (and his many variants), ended up fired as a result of domestic violence charges. Now, however, rumors are running rampant over another bit of news that's been making the rounds.
This one involves the potential comeback of MCU icon Robert Downey, Jr. Even though Tony Stark sacrificed himself to save the universe during the climax of "Endgame,...

Yesterday evening, the news broke that the Russo Brothers are in talks with Marvel Studios to direct Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Now, Jeff Sneider has shared what he's heard about the situation on The Hot Mic podcast. It sounds like Joe and Anthony approached Marvel Studios first, only to be turned down because the studio was already in talks with other filmmakers.
We know Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy was being eyed to helm Avengers 5 at one point but is thought to have passed so he can focus on other projects, including a Star Wars movie.
Believe it or not, it seems no one wanted the job of helming the next Avengers movies. Why? Well, because getting them wrong would be akin to career suicide! Marvel Studios, unable to find anyone, then returned to the Russos with an offer (it's likely an official announcement will be made...

Rumors have been doing the rounds that Robert Downey Jr. could return as a Tony Stark/Iron Man Variant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for quite a while now, and the actor himself has admitted that he would be interested in reprising his most famous role should the opportunity arise.
"It’s just crazily in my DNA. Probably the most like-me character I’ve ever played, even though he’s way cooler than I am," he said in a recent interview when asked about a potential return. "I’ve become surprisingly open-minded to the idea."
If Downey Jr. does suit-up as Iron Man again, it will most likely be in one of the upcoming Avengers movies - but what if this new take on the Armored Avenger goes down a villainous path?

Since Iron Man’s death in ‘Endgame,’ a significant chapter of the MCU has concluded, leaving most fans aware that the era they knew had also ended. Despite Kevin Feige repeatedly stating that bringing Tony Stark back from the dead is off the table, fans have persistently clamored for his return.
Reviving the character would diminish the emotional impact of ‘Endgame’ entirely. However, recent discussions suggest that Rdj’s Iron Man might reappear in the MCU as a variant in ‘Secret Wars.’ Robert Downey Jr. himself has expressed openness to returning, noting that the role is deeply ingrained in his identity.
Industry insider and leaker Jeff Sneider has hinted in his weekly newsletter that the MCU intends to bring Tony back, but with a twist. According to him, Robert Downey Jr. could return in a future ‘Avengers’ film, portraying a version of Tony Stark who transforms into Doctor Doom.
