The superhero genre has long been spearheaded by two of the most extensive franchises, Marvel and DC. Both franchises have been responsible for producing brilliant movies on the big screen.
After conquering the theatre, Marvel ventured into making its name on the small screen via TV series. Unfortunately, lately, the shows haven’t fared well among fans who quickly grew disappointed with the franchise. DC’s The Penguin has led to a far greater response, leading fans to believe it couldn’t be compared to Marvel’s latest show Agatha All Along.
The strong opponent and lost trust
After the sad state of Marvel TV shows, fans began to lose trust in the franchise to ever produce a hit like Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki again. The 2023 show Secret Invasion set the bar extremely low and was even ranked as the worst MCU show ever.

Lilly admitted several times that the role had changed her life and even defended the hated finale of the series, sharing that there was no one interpretation of the finale.

Marvel Studios has been leading the box office charts for a long time. But now, it appears that the studio may be expanding its storytelling from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) into the gaming industry.
An official game in the MCU would be pretty crazy. | Image Credit: NetEase Games
According to a new report, Marvel Studios is reportedly developing its first video game that will take place directly within the MCU. While Marvel-based video games have been popular for years, this new project would mark the first time a game is officially tied to the MCU. But let’s hope in advance that it doesn’t turn out like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
The MCU Could Make a Grand Entry Into Gaming
The MCU has become a cultural phenomenon with its interconnected films and Disney+ series. But Marvel Studios has largely avoided blending its cinematic universe with the gaming side of things.

Robert Downey Jr. may be preparing to put on a new mask as the McU's Doctor Doom in the near future, but the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer star isn't done with taking on original projects just yet it would seem. Having starred in Park Chan-wook's The Sympathizer and made his Broadway debut leading Ayad Akhtar's new play McNeal this year already, Deadline are now reporting that Downey Jr. is being eyed to lead an adaptation of Julianna Baggott's short story The Hider at Universal.
According to Deadline's article, Universal have snapped up the rights to Baggott's short story, whose plot details currently remain firmly under wraps. Ant-Man And The Wasp and Transformers One duo Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari are working on the script for the adaptation, which is the latest in an increasingly long line of projects based on Baggott's works to enter development.

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.
“I’ve never been part of a company that puts so much heart and thought into anything,” Stan said in an interview with British GQ.
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.

Attention: The Following Report Is A Rumor. Please Take The Following Story With A Grain Of Salt.
This past July, the very foundations of the Marvel Cinematic Universe were shaken as the first prominent face of the franchise, Robert Downy Jr., would be returning following the death of his character Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, in Avengers: Endgame. However, he would now be a villain instead of a hero, as he will be taking on the mantel of Doctor Doom in Avengers 5, now called Avengers: Doomsday.
The announcement shocked many. Not only would Rdj be returning, but the planned new “big bad,” Kang the Conquerer was being replaced despite already appearing in multiple MCU projects such as the Loki series and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
The future of the character in the MCU was actually called into question when the actor portraying him, Jonathan Majors, became involved with...

Despite building the entire multiverse saga with Jonathan Majors’ Kang at the center, following his conviction earlier this year, the MCU opted to distance itself from the actor. While most felt the Comic Book juggernaut would lean towards a recast, which made sense considering how much they invested in Kang’s storyline, to fans’ surprise, Doctor Doom is now the new big bad of the MCU.

However, it seems Majors’ antics outside the silver screen weren’t the lone contributing factor, as according to an insider, Marvel had little faith in the character, given the lukewarm reception to his previous appearances.

Kang the Conqueror, portrayed by Jonathan Majors, was set to become the next major villain in the MCU, taking over from Thanos. Majors appeared as Kang (along with his variants) in two seasons of Loki and in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
However, following the release of the film, Majors faced legal issues. He was accused of assault and harassment by his former partner, Grace Jabbari. Additionally, insiders who previously worked with Majors have corroborated claims of troubling behavior on set.
As the legal drama unfolded, Majors was dropped by his talent agency and pulled from commercials and upcoming projects. However, Marvel Studios opted to wait for the legal verdict, likely aiming to avoid a repeat of the controversy surrounding Johnny Depp.

While the Multiverse Saga has been undeniably hit-or-miss, there's still plenty of excitement surrounding Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Sure, neither movie will be what was originally planned - we're getting Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom in place of Jonathan Majors as Kang, for starters - but that doesn't mean the Russo Brothers won't deliver a fitting end to this Saga.
According to The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez, the plan is for both movies to feature secondary villains replacing the Council of Kangs. The site doesn't know for sure who they'll be and suggests we might see a Multiversal Masters of Evil.
Perez adds that the Multiverse will still exist once this Saga ends and reiterates that we're only getting a "soft reboot" after Avengers: Secret Wars.
He also likens Reed Richards and Doctor Doom's dynamic in the upcoming Avengers movies to Tony Stark and Thanos in...

Always straddling the line between hero and villain, Loki has changed allegiances multiple times. However, his standalone series demonstrated that he isn’t inherently evil, which is crucial for his overall characterization. This is why we’ve decided to analyze his kill count in the MCU.
The information we’re sharing comes from a list created by IMDb user Creedswede, who meticulously documented the kill counts of both major and minor MCU characters, including several important notes. According to the data provided, Loki’s kill count is as follows:
Thor – 18 The Avengers – 25 Thor: The Dark World – 5 Thor: Ragnarok – 14 Total kills: 62+ Source
In addition to this, Loki has appeared in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Black Widow, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, as well as in the series Loki and What If…?.
However, he did not kill anyone in those projects, so there are no additional kills to report from them.

Superheroes and other comic book characters typically deal a lot of damage when they battle. Of course, the superheroes don’t mean for this to happen, but whether they like it or not, damage and casualties do happen. However, there are instances when heroes intentionally kill because it is the only way to defeat their enemies and achieve victory.
Superheroes like Batman or Superman may embrace a “no-kill” policy, but this is an exception rather than a rule. Whether they are monsters, extraterrestrials, or other enemies, superheroes typically don’t hesitate to kill them.
In light of that, we are going to talk about the kill count of a very interesting and very important Marvel character – Loki.
Loki has always been on the border between being a hero and a villain, changing allegiances several times, but the standalone series proved that he was not intrinsically evil, which is definitely important for his overall characterization,...

Paramount Pictures' and director Edgar Wright's long-gestating adaptation of Stephen King's The Running Man is finally moving forward with Glen Powell in the lead role of Ben Richards, and one supporting cast member has now been confirmed.
Daniel Richtman recently claimed that Katy O'Brian was being eyed for a supporting role in the project, and THR is reporting that she has officially joined the cast.
We had assumed that O'Brian would play one of the two significant female characters in the book - Richards' wife Shelia or his hostage, Amelia - but the trade reveals that she will actually play another contestant on the lethal TV show of the title.
O'Brian had a small role in season 3 of The Mandalorian, and also played Jentorra in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. She's been getting a lot of attention in Hollywood thanks to her more recent work in Love Lies Bleeding.

THR reports that Katy O’Brian, who broke out in a big way with Love Lies Bleeding, is set to join Glen Powell in Edgar Wright’s The Running Man.
Powell stars as a “desperate man, needing money for his sick daughter, who joins the most popular show, The Running Man, in which teams of killers hunt down contestants. The longer that a contestant survives, the more money that person makes. But as the game show’s producers and killers will find out, this desperate man will break all the rules and expose the show’s dark secrets.” O’Brian will play one of the contestants on the show. This won’t be the first time Powell and O’Brian have worked together, as they both appeared in Twisters, with O’Brian playing one of the members of the storm-chasing crew.
Edgar Wright is directing The Running Man from a script he co-wrote with Michael Bacall.

Rarely has the MCU ever had to deal with the PR nightmare that was Jonathan Majors’ indictment on charges of domestic violence. The court verdict immediately followed suit with Marvel Studios dropping the actor, essentially derailing their multiverse saga altogether.

Once upon a time, Jonathan Majors was on the fast track to becoming one of the biggest new talents in Hollywood. With projects like Creed III and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Majors established himself as a blockbuster draw, but a film called Magazine Dreams was set to establish Majors as a heavyweight in the drama genre as well. Majors and his image would go through many trials and tribulations after facing assault and harassment charges and Magazine Dreams would be dropped by its original studio, Searchlight Pictures.
Deadline is now reporting that Briarcliff Entertainment has given Magazine Dreams a second chance at distribution. Briarcliff Entertainment purchased the rights to distribute the Jonathan Majors film with plans to release in the first quarter of 2025.

It's been an interesting year for movies. Some big-budget franchises staged the comeback they needed to make while other studios unveiled long-awaited sequels that made box-office history. There were also some surprises, overperforming in certain markets and outdoing all expectations to bring their own franchises back to their glory days. And then there were the disappointing ones that struggled out of the gate and didn't quite make the mark they needed to.
Yes, 2024 had it all at the movies. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was probably the biggest surprise, outperforming expectations to deliver the MonsterVerse's best performance ever five movies in.

Just when everybody thought the MCU was done, Deadpool & Wolverine shut the haters in the best possible way. With its R-rated gore and terrific cameos, the 2024 multiversal adventure raised a storm at the box office. However, the records are not the only thing that are shattered by the film, it also shattered the MCU with a harsh roast in the latest-released deleted scene.

One of the primary reasons behind Deadpool & Wolverine‘s success was its meta jokes. The film continued the quirky trend of Deadpool films to go full meta and induce several self-referential jokes and several real-life events in the screenplay. But the recently released deleted footage hinted that the Ryan Reynolds film was supposed to go more merciless on the MCU.

Marvel Studios and Disney Plus have been going hand-in-hand with each other since 2021. The Hollywood juggernaut turned its attention to the small screen after the conclusion of its Infinity Saga, determined to build out the world even further through the use of streaming television. It accomplished that with the launch of WandaVision, which has led to the arrival of ten more Disney Plus shows set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (including that original show's spinoff Agatha All Along).
There is no doubt about it, the MCU is a much bigger, more expansive place with the original series adding to the lore. Not all have achieved the same levels of success, but they have all reached different corners of the TV fandom that maybe wouldn't have jumped on-board the MCU ship otherwise. From WandaVision's sitcom episodes to the comedy of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, there has been something there for everyone.

The Merc with the Mouth has no mercy in hitting Marvel with the most outrageous lines, and this one deleted Deadpool and Wolverine scene takes a dig at Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Deadpool & Wolverine's Deleted Scene Pokes Fun At Ant-Man 3
Among the many flicks from the MCU, not all threequels are deemed memorable for fans, including the likes of the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania movie, as the deleted scene from Deadpool and Wolverine pointed out.

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.

Getting killed off in an earlier season of Only Murders in the Building hasn’t stopped Paul Rudd from returning. That’s right, the actor, 55, is back on the hit Hulu original series. But not as Ben Glenroy. He’s playing someone else with a Glenroy connection (and a similar name) that felt “right” to showrunner John Hoffman.
[Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers from Only Murders in the Building Season 4.]
Paul Rudd plays Ben Glenroy’s former stuntperson in ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Season 4
The Schmackary’s Cookies-obsessed Glenroy didn’t come back from the dead for a second time when Rudd showed up in Only Murders in the Building Season 4. Nor as a ghost or even Glenroy’s long-lost identical twin brother.
Instead, Rudd returned to the show playing an entirely new character—Glenroy’s former stuntperson, Glen Stubbins. So, how did the writers make it happen? Well, according to Hoffman, Rudd’s return...

Apple TV+’s upcoming drama Margo’s Got Money Troubles has added another A-list name to its cast.
Michelle Pfeiffer will star opposite Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman in the series, which is based on the best-selling novel of the same title by Rufi Thorpe. She’ll also be an executive producer on the project, which A24 is producing; David E. Kelley is adapting the novel and will serve as showrunner.
Pfeiffer’s casting is also notable because it will mark the first time she and Kelley, who have been married for more than 30 years, have worked together. The couple chose to keep their work and home lives separate, Pfeiffer has said in the past: In a 2022 Hollywood Reporter profile, she said she’d consider working with Kelley before quickly adding, “But I never want to risk damaging our relationship, which is a little sacred to me, and I think it...

It’s been a good while since we had a proper Marvel team-up movie. Post-Endgame, we’ve had a few dysfunctional families of galactic oddbods in Eternals and Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3. But there hasn’t been anything close to an Avengers-level event – a clash of egos, a group brought together to try and make something better than themselves. But the first trailer for Thunderbolts* has arrived, and teases something of an Avengers-style gathering – though rather than a group of primary-coloured do-gooders, these are all depressed antiheroes with shady pasts, each in desperate need of a second chance. Check out the extended teaser here:
There’s plenty to unpack here – notably, the first half of the trailer positioning this as something of a Yelena Belova movie, placing Florence Pugh’s Black Widow-adjacent character at the forefront. That makes sense, since her father-figure Alexei (aka David Harbour’s...

When the pilot of "Lost" aired on ABC in September of 2004, it became an instant hit for the network and catapulted its sprawling cast to stardom in the process. Created by J.J. Abrams alongside Jeffrey Lieber and Damon Lindelof — the last of whom would eventually become a co-showrunner with Carlton Cuse — "Lost" begins in the immediate aftermath of a massive plane crash on a deserted island, but things quickly get very, very complicated. When Oceanic flight 815 crashes on that island while traveling from Sydney to Los Angeles, the audience is introduced to the survivors ... and throughout the first season, they all get a closer look through flashbacks set before they ever boarded the doomed flight.
I should say this up-front: the cast of "Lost" is huge, so not every single important character will get a spotlight here. As far as the core cast is concerned,...

For a time, it looked like Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was putting all his eggs in a Rick & Morty-shaped basket. He tapped a number of writers from that series to work on the Multiverse Saga, including Jeff Loveness and Michael Waldron.
The former penned Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania before being hired for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, while Waldron was Head Writer on Loki before writing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Feige had so much faith in Waldron that he teamed with him for a Star Wars movie that never happened and even got him to replace Loveness on The Kang Dynasty. However, things have since changed and Waldron's time in the MCU appears to be over.
Despite Loki receiving widespread critical acclaim, it's believed season 2 Head Writer Eric Martin played a much bigger role in that first batch of episodes than originally reported.

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 important comic book character, or, more specifically, about the kill count of his version from the MCU. The character in question is Captain America and you’ll be surprised by...

Marvel Studios has been shifting things around in a way that the studio just isn't used to doing. After its first financial underperformers at the box office in its almost two decades of existence, Kevin Feige and co. have been taking steps to ensure that the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't experience any more misses like 2023's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels. That includes less yearly releases and a greater focus on projects guaranteed to be successful.
It also might include making decisions on its countless Disney Plus series that they've been vague about ever since they were released. This is seemingly related to their new strategy of being more sure of their successes, and that is expected to include some clarity about the future of some of those MCU shows. According to reports, some might even get a second season as Marvel is set to invest in its already-successful shows,...

All episodes of Twilight of the Gods are now streaming on Netflix, and the review embargo for Zack Snyder's adult animated Norse mythology series lifted around the same time the show premiered.
This isn't always a great sign, but the first wave of reviews have been mostly very positive.
Snyder's work has rarely gone over well with critics, but his last Netflix collaboration - the Rebel Moon movies - really came in for a drubbing. So far, Twilight of the Gods has fared a lot better.
Though there are some negative verdicts, the majority of write-ups praise the animation style, world-building, voice-acting and bloody action - although it sounds like Snyder may have overindulged in the graphic violence and sex a little too much for some tastes.
Have a read through the reviews below, and we'll be sure to update once we have a Rotten Tomatoes score.

Back in March, after star Florence Pugh shared our first behind-the-scenes look at the movie, Marvel Studios announced a minor but significant change to the title of Thunderbolts* with the addition of a mysterious asterisk.
Fans have been speculating ever since, and the most popular theory seems to be that the characters will ultimately form a completely different team.
Several cast members have been asked about the asterisk, and David Harbour came closest to at least hinting at its significance during a recent interview.
“Yes, they retroactively put the asterisk (in). The asterisk was an idea that that someone had. What can I say that's not going to get me in trouble? The asterisk is very cool. I understand why people might put an asterisk there (laughs) I'm excited for the viewers to see that as well. But I, again, I just can't say anymore.”

Meryl Streep Can Be "Anything She Wants" in the MCU, Casting Director Says - Main Image

Zack Snyder's adult animated Norse mythology series, Twilight of the Gods, is set to premiere on Netflix on September 19, and the streamer has now released an action-packed final trailer.
This full-length promo spotlights plenty of bloody battles, as a mortal warrior named Sigrid enlists the aid of Loki (probably not a great idea) to wage war against Thor after the vengeful God of Thunder murders her entire family.
"In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds, and great despair, Leif (Stuart Martin), a mortal king, is saved on the battlefield by Sigrid (Sylvia Hoeks), an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love," reads the updated synopsis. "On their wedding night, Sigrid and Leif survive a wrath of terror from Thor (Pilou Asbæk), which sets them — and a crew of crusaders — on a merciless mission for vengeance, against all odds.

It's been quite a while since we had any official updates on Millennium Films' Red Sonja reboot, but the movie's Instagram page has now shared a new behind-the-scenes photo of Revenge star Matilda Lutz as the She-Devil with a Sword.
As you can see, Lutz's armour is pretty faithful to the later comic book depictions of the character (the skimpy chain-mail bikini was never gonna happen), and she also appears to be sporting Sonja's signature face-paint.
After over a decade spent attempting to get the project moving with multiple writers and directors attached at various different stages, Millennium finally managed to put its Red Sonja reboot into production in 2022, with Solomon Kane director M.J. Bassett at the helm and Lutz taking over from Ant-Man and the Wasp and Thunderbolts* actress Hannah John Kamen as the fearsome warrior of the title.

We went into Deadpool & Wolverine expecting the movie to close the door on the Fox-verse. Instead, it celebrated Earth-10005 and set the stage for that world to continue to flourish alongside Earth-616/the Sacred Timeline.
While we'd hoped for cameos, the threequel upped the ante by taking us into the Void before giving Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Blade (Wesley Snipes), Gambit (Channing Tatum), and X-23 (Dafne Keen) a second chance. It felt really special but has got us thinking...which other Earth-10005 heroes and villains deserve a second chance in the MCU?
This could be in an upcoming Multiverse Saga project (which seems most likely) or even in the softly rebooted MCU which is rumoured to be the plan for this shared world post-Avengers: Secret Wars. Hopefully, the names before surprise you!

The Multiverse Saga of the MCU had locked in Jonathan Majors as its antagonist, having the actor appear in multiple films and TV shows in preparation for Avengers: Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. However, following his conviction for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, the actor was promptly fired from Disney, with the Kang Dynasty switching its title to Doomsday.

Since then, it seems that Majors has fallen on some hard times, given that sources close to the actor and his current girlfriend, Meagan Good, have reported to Life & Style Magazine that the latter has been covering Majors financially, even going so far as to pay his child support for his daughter, who was the product of a previous relationship.

Captain America: Civil War was a landmark film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, featuring an epic clash between Captain America and Iron Man. But amidst all these action-packed sequences and intense drama, the flashbacks took the cake.

There were flashbacks of a young Tony Stark with his deceased parents in that movie, which added a touch of nostalgia to it. It took enormous efforts and special effects to achieve this look-in-the-golden day. The head of the special effects stated that they used Robert Downey Jr.’s face from his old movies when creating his teenage face.

Michelle Pfeiffer plays the McU's Janet Van Dyne and, following the original Wasp's return from the Quantum Realm in Ant-Man and The Wasp, finally took centre stage in last year's Quantumania.
Of course, as we're sure you're all aware, Pfeiffer's first major superhero role was 1992's Batman Returns where she delivered an iconic take on Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman.
A third movie set in Tim Burton's gothic take on Gotham City never became a reality and neither did Batman Beyond (which was set to revisit Bruce Wayne and Selina's romance in the present day). Now, Pfeiffer has taken to Instagram to share a glimpse inside her original script for Batman Returns...when it was known simply as Batman II.
There are a few fun Easter Eggs in the pages the actor posted, including the fact Gotham City's Mayor referred to Batman as "The Caped Crusader" in this early draft.
Of course, as we're sure you're all aware, Pfeiffer's first major superhero role was 1992's Batman Returns where she delivered an iconic take on Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is over halfway through its Multiverse Saga storyline now and the endgame of it all seems clearer than ever. That's not because it's at the halfway point. The franchise had been having more downs than ups until earlier this year when the game-changing release of Deadpool and Wolverine was matched in its awesome response by the announcement that Robert Downey Jr. would return to the franchise as the saga's new major villain, Doctor Doom.
Anything is possible in the multiverse, including replacing your major villain with a new one (as Downey's Doom will now replace Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror), so bringing back the Iron Man star in a new role was doable. And as surprising as it was in many ways, in others it wasn't, because expectations are high for the upcoming two Avengers movies, with fans already expecting to see some major returns in...

Marvel Studios shocked the world at San Diego Comic-Con this summer when they revealed that Robert Downey Jr., the former face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise, would return to the MCU in two upcoming movies but in an entirely new role. It was a genuinely captivaring moment as Downey walked onto stage, revealing that he would be playing the franchise's new villain Doctor Doom.
The star, who just recently won an Academy Award for his performance in Oppenheimer, kicked off the MCU by playing the titile character in 2008's Iron Man. He returned as Tony Stark for two direct sequels and four Avengers movies, as well as playing supporting roles in Captain America and Spider-Man movies (and let's not forget about his cameo in the post-credits scene for The Incredible Hulk).
It's a huge deal that he will return to the franchise and especially welcome news for Marvel, which...

Marvel Studios is reaping the rewards of its cinematic comeback, as Deadpool and Wolverine continues to reel in audiences six weeks into its record-breaking box office run. It's a vastly different story to the franchise's tales of 2023, when two of its three movies underperformed at the box office and one of its Disney Plus shows received abysmal reviews.
Nobody ever expected anything less than a comeback from the Marvel Cinematic Universe considering it is the most successful movie franchise of all time, but it was an emphatic one at that, earning Marvel Studios a performance the likes of which has rarely been seen since its Infinity Saga days.
But still, precautions have reportedly been taken to avoid a similar year like 2023, including a "less-is-more" strategy which, in recent months, has resulted in a lot of uncertainty about a number of the franchise's in-development titles. Now, a new report has added...

Joss Whedon's large-scale action picture "Avengers: Age of Ultron" was released in theaters in the spring of 2015, and it featured a gaggle of Marvel superheroes teaming up to fight the eponymous evil super-robot. Ultron (voiced by James Spader) was an artificial intelligence accidentally created by Iron Man while he was constructing a global, spacebound security system intended to make superhero-ing easier. Upon achieving consciousness, Ultron spends about two minutes on the internet and instantly decided that humanity needed to be wiped out, shunting its own consciousness into a series of robot bodies and going about its wicked business. The Avengers, naturally, smash up all the Ultron bots.
Ultron is destroyed at the end of that film and has only shown up in additional Marvel Cinematic Universe entries in smaller roles since then, including the animated TV show "What If...?" However, Spader will reportedly reprise Ultron for the upcoming "WandaVision...
