Howard Stern May Have Accidentally Revealed Doctor Doom MCU Project

Image
Unexpected source Howard Stern, a radio host, may have revealed information about a new Doctor Doom movie set in the MCU. Stern is overheard discussing his summer plans with a producer over what sounds like a hot mic. These plans reportedly include appearing in Doctor Doom in some capacity. Other candidates that spring to mind include Robert Downey Jr. Related: The Boys Caused Amazon To Make A Standards And Practices Department "They're going over the schedule with me, and it's going to suck," Stern is heard saying. "I told you, I'm going to do 'Doctor Doom.' That's the thing. But believe me, I'm f - king miserable about it…I called Robert Downey, Jr. and I was asking him acting techniques." The video spread swiftly on social media and sparked a lot of discussion. Should Doctor Doom be interviewed by Howard Stern? What-If Season 2 episode would he appear in?

MCU's Blade Receives Disappointing Filming Update

Image
Mahershala Ali's fans have been waiting for a long time for him to pick up his sword and go on the prowl for some vampires. The actor has only appeared in one piece of official MCU content since his hiring was announced, a voice cameo at the conclusion of Eternals. He might appear in this year's Disney+ Halloween special, according to rumours, but his solo endeavour is what fans are eagerly for. Although there are few plot specifics, Marvel has over the years dropped hints. For starters, a casting request for the film would suggest that Taj Mital and Rachel van Helsing will be helping Blade fight Dracula. Dane Whitman, played by Kit Harrington, can possibly be considered for a supporting part. Also Read: The Boys Caused Amazon To Make A Standards And Practices Department Despite earlier reports that Atlanta, Georgia-based filming would start in July 2022, it now appears that Ali's eagerly anticipated movie will have to wait a little bit longer.

‘Avengers’ Director Wants Captain America Star Chris Evans As Wolverine

Image
Directors of Avengers: Endgame Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, has collaborated with Joe and Anthony Russo numerous times over the course of their MCU tenure. Evans rapidly proved to be the ideal fit for the stiff-necked Steve Rogers, but the Russo Brothers think Evans could have pulled off another Marvel character, none other than. When asked by Comicbook.com which role they thought Evans might do well in if he returned for some multiversal mayhem, Joe Russo responded right away... "Wolverine." Joe continued to laud Evans as a performer and explain to those of us who are unsure why he believes the Captain America actor could have nailed playing the fan-favorite member of the "Evans has incredible range and great physicality, and he's real good at body control. He's an incredible actor. I don't mean this in a bad way, but he's nothing like Captain America. Steve Rogers is very controlled and quiet, understated. Chris is energetic and funny and cha...

The Boys Caused Amazon To Make A Standards And Practices Department

Image
Standards & Practices is a fancy term for "the folks in the corporation that make sure we don't do anything unlawful or put anything on the broadcast that is too much" in the majority of media organisations. Ask Gravity Falls creator Alex Hirsch, who recently shared a montage of complaints he received from S&P. The Walt Disney Company, for example, has a notorious "S&P" to ensure that content on certain channels is family appropriate. Evidently missing the memo, for a few years Amazon Prime Video didn't even have a Standards & Practices division before launching The Boys. "Can you guys come in? was the call, which I can still clearly recall. As a result of us, we must establish a Standards & Practices department "Eric Kripke, the creator of The Boys, said TV Line. "It was Season 1, and after that, they may have had trouble with another show. I'll take pride in the fact that I was instrumental in establishing their Stand...

Disney+ Reveals the Historic Movie rating for Doctor Strange 2

Image
In the Multiverse of Madness , Doctor Strange's intensity was unlike anything else. The Sam Raimi-directed film nailed all the frightening notes, despite the MCU not having really delved into horror until to that time. It was intense to watch Stephen Strange take control of his deceased body during the full last battle at Wundagore and battle the Scarlet Witch with high-pitched, cursed spirits squealing throughout. Many people were shocked that the film managed to go into theaters without the more restrictive rating of "R". It managed to be one of the most violent Marvel Studios productions to date, in addition to having stronger horror imagery. For instance, Black Bolt's head plainly showed the concave scoop after his brain blew out, causing him to cave in. Even Iman Vellani of Ms. Marvel complained that Sam Raimi "did [Black Bolt] filthy" in the scene. The passing of the Royal Inhuman now seems to have contributed to Multiverse of Madness breaking a Disney...

Aaron Taylor-Johnson Describes the Differences Between Kraven the Hunter and Other Marvel Movies

Image
Star of Kraven the Hunter Aaron Taylor-Johnson discusses a significant distinction between the next Spider-Man Universe film from Sony and other Marvel productions. Star of the upcoming blockbuster Kraven the Hunter Aaron Taylor-Johnson discussed how it differs from prior Marvel movies. Taylor-Johnson reportedly stated that the movie, which takes place in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, "is shot totally on location." If this claim is true and Kraven the Hunter does truly shoot on location rather than in a studio, it would distinguish the film from Sony's other Marvel productions, such as the Spider-Man and Venom series. Additionally, it would set Kraven the Hunter apart from other, non-Sony works, like as every movie produced by Marvel Studios. Taylor-Johnson was recently seen sprinting down a London street in unofficial Kraven the Hunter set pictures that recently appeared online, further demonstrating the directors' dedication to shooting on location. The pictures a...

Chris Hemsworth Wants to Be in the Sequel to Deadpool 3 for a Funny Reason

Image
After more than a decade in the role, Chris Hemsworth is poised to start his next leading role as the God of Thunder in Thor: Love and Thunder. After Avengers: Endgame, he is currently one of the MCU's prominent characters with the longest run, and in Thor 4, he is ready to embark on what might be his funniest trip yet. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has a reputation for using humour throughout the past 14 years, and Thor himself has benefited from this reputation owing to his team-up flicks and 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, which is the hero's funniest solo film to date. And that's just for the characters who already exist in the MCU. This comes before another round of anticipated laughs in next year's threequels for the Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man. Later on, Ryan Reynolds will introduce Wade Wilson, a beloved character and violent, fourth-wall-breaking mercenary, into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hemsworth, who is currently attempting to secure a role alon...

Patrick Schwarzenegger compares the college spin-off of 'The Boys' to the Superhero 'Euphoria'

Image
What if Cassie and Rue possessed superhuman abilities? According to star Patrick Schwarzenegger, the "The Boys" spin-off answers that question. The new Prime Video college series "The Boys" has been compared to HBO's " Euphoria" with a superhero element, according to the "Staircase" actor. According to an official series description, "hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities," the R-rated dark comedy will be set at "America's only college exclusively for young adult superheroes (and run by Vought International)," and will explore "hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities." On Variety's Just for Variety podcast, Schwarzenegger remarked, "This set is really enjoyable, and there's just...

Chris Evans is Open to Reprising his Role as Human Torch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Image
Chris Evans says he's more excited about the prospect of restoring Human Torch in the MCU than he is about resurrecting Steve Rogers. Chris Evans may make a cameo appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not as Steve Rogers. Evans had, after all, spent a lot of time in the MCU, including starring in three of his own Captain America films. He has subsequently withdrawn from the role of Steve Rogers, with Anthony Mackie (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) set to take over as the new shield wielder in Captain America 4. Related: Samuel L.

He was asked if he would consider reprising his role as Johnny Storm, or the Human Torch, from the Fantastic Four films. Evans was intrigu...

The Incredible Hulk’s Lou Ferrigno believes the MCU's CGI Hero has lost an Important Quality

Image
The Incredible Hulk's Lou Ferrigno discusses the flaws of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's pixel-powered rendition of the Jade Giant. Lou Ferrigno, star of The Incredible Hulk, has spoken out about the Marvel Cinematic Universe's all-CGI version of Bruce Banner's renowned alter-ego, claiming that it lacks one key element. In an interview with The Washington Times, former professional bodybuilder Ferringo, who played Bruce Banner's musclebound transformation in the 1978 CBS TV series, discussed his pixel-powered substitute. "Though I appreciate the amazing visual work these [visual effects] artists are producing, it's missing the raw human performance qualities that I believe only an actor can play," he remarked. "Especially when it comes to The Hulk," says the narrator.

Ezra Miller Seems to Be on the Run as the Court Is Unable to Find Him, Fans Demand Scrapping of the Flash Movie Altogether

Image
Following their most recent issue involving the parents of a young activist, The Flash star Ezra Miller is in a world of trouble. The issue broke last week, when the parents of Tokata Iron Eyes accused Miller of grooming their daughter as they sought court intervention. The parents believe that the Fantastic Beasts provided Tokata with booze, marijuana, and LSD, according to the reports. They've also mentioned that Miller has been travelling the world with their daughter, who graduated from high school earlier this year. A judge has now given the parents a protective order, barring Miller from contacting Tokata and her mother Sara Jumping Eagle for the next 30 days. They will also be required to keep at least 100 yards away from the family's home in South Dakota during this time. Related: Samuel L.

Samuel L. Jackson: ‘I’d Rather Be Nick Fury’ Than Win Oscars or Chase Oscar-Baiting Roles

Image
Samuel L. Jackson's lone Oscar is an honorary award, but he doesn't mind because he's been portraying Marvel Cinematic Universe mainstay Nick Fury for almost a decade. According to the Los Angeles Times, Jackson would rather create billion-dollar Marvel movies than compete for Oscar nominations or chase down Oscar-baiting parts. "As jaded as I wanted to be about it, thinking, 'Well, I should have gotten an Oscar for this or for that and it didn't happen,' it wasn't a huge concern for me after I got over it many years ago," Jackson remarked. “I always have fun going to the Oscars. I always look forward to getting a gift basket for being a presenter. [Laughs] I give stuff to my relatives; my daughter and my wife would take stuff out. It’s cool…But otherwise, I was past it.” Jackson continued, "I was never going to let the Oscars determine whether or not I was a successful actor. My criterion for success is whether or not I am happy with what I...

Ms. Marvel actress slams MCU’s Mysterio Plot Hole

Image
On Disney+, Marvel Studios' newest streaming series is off to a great start. The sitcom stars Iman Vellani as 16-year-old Kamala Khan, an Avengers superfan living in New Jersey who comes to inherit a mystery bangle that appears to empower her with cosmic superpowers. Vellani, of course, is a big fan of the MCU and hasn't been hesitant about sharing her views and viewpoints on the franchise. Since 2021, the MCU has been working on a multi-project story arc centred on parallel realities. The core MCU is known as Earth-616, as introduced in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Since 2008's Iron Man, this is the universe in which all the action takes place. Earth-616 is the current name for the universe in which the Marvel comic novels are set. The Marvel Cinematic Universe was given the label Earth-199999 in extra materials, although this was retconned in the Doctor Strange sequel. For fans who aren't paying close attention, it can all be a little confusing. Iman V...

Ms. Marvel Star Iman Vellani Calls Shah Rukh Khan’s DDLJ ‘Sexist’ and ‘Outdated’

Image
Ms. Marvel has been tearing it up since the debut episode of Marvel's newest superhero was released on Disney+ last week. The show is set in New Jersey and follows Pakistani-American girl Kamala Khan, who is played by the energetic Iman Vellan. The character is a first for Marvel, as it is the first superhero film to feature a character with South Asian roots. Along with all of the heroic antics, the show looks into the lives of South Asians in North America, with plenty of cultural representation. As a result, the first episode of the series was jam-packed with Bollywood movie and song references.

The Boys Makes Fun of Morbius’ Embarrassing Re-Release Flop

Image
The Boys, which is only four episodes into its third season, has already crammed its latest segments with pop culture references, and the tendency is even spilling over into real-world marketing. The Amazon Original series is a dark parody of a world where superheroes are controlled by corporate giants and perverted toward evil due to their power, drawing inspiration from both Marvel and DC. Not only are the heroes of The Boys led toward their activities by their corporate rulers, but sponsorships, marketing, and approval points drive them as well. The Seven, the universe's most powerful superhero squad, is the face of Vought International's heroes, appearing in ads, reality TV shows, and big-screen films showcasing their exploits. The super-powered squad recently starred in Dawn of the Seven, a fictional movie based on Batman v Superman, Avengers: Endgame's poster, and Justice League's origin tale. Aside from that, the latest season of The Boys poked fun at all aspects...

Shang-Chi Star Simu Liu Opens Up About Autograph Harassment Incident

Simu Liu, star of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, spoke out about being hounded by an autograph hunter recently. The Marvel Cinematic Universe star shared a snapshot of the suspect in their vehicle on his personal Twitter account, detailing his ordeal. "Best photo I could grab," says Liu's description, "but these professional autograph hunters followed us out of the Philly event and then dumped soda on our glass." "They immediately dashed to their car and removed the front licence plate, making it impossible for us to identify them." Liu goes on to say that someone in the audience was able to photograph the occurrence and that he intends to make an official report with the police. Had a not great altercation at the end of my book event in Philly. Look, I'm trying to have a real moment with my audience.

Daniel Radcliffe’s Co-Star Sandra Bullock Tells Marvel To Hire Him As Wolverine: 'Please Just F*cking Cast Him'

Image
Daniel Radcliffe has been doing his best to put out the fires surrounding the ongoing Wolverine conjecture that has been hounding him for years, but he couldn't have guessed Sandra Bullock would wind up publicly endorsing the concept. The Lost City couple has been making the rounds in the press for a while, and the former Harry Potter star has been constantly questioned about the mutton-chopped monster. He now has one high-profile backer, despite his best efforts to dismiss it as wishful thinking.

Jake Tapper Doesn't Think Ryan Reynolds Should Have Been Allowed to Play Deadpool

Image
Some actors have been inextricably linked to one movie universe, to the point where they would feel out of place in another. For example, it's difficult to see Gal Gadot in the MCU, and it's nearly impossible to see Robert Downey Jr. as a DC hero. However, a few actors have succeeded in making the transition. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, for example, played Killer Croc in Suicide Squad and Algrim in Thor: The Dark World, while Josh Brolin portrayed Cable in the franchise as well as Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. However, CNN correspondent Jake Tapper has taken a firm stance against any such crossings. In an interview, Tapper examined the present condition of superhero films in depth, stating that performers should choose between Marvel and DC and stick to one of them out of principle.  "I believe that if you are in the Marvel Universe, you must have the ethics and the strength not to then walk into the DC Universe as an actor, and both," he said. It's ...

Netflix Anime ‘Cyberpunk Edgerunners’: Coming to Netflix in September 2022

Netflix has released a trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, a new anime that is a spin-off of the video game Cyberpunk 2077. Despite being incredibly colourful, the teaser incorporates harsh metal music and gives off a grim vibe. Characters engage in some hardcore anime violence in the trailer.

Courtesy: Disney+ Despite the fact that just one episode has been broadcast so far, the Ms. Marvel Disney+ show has piqued the interest of the large South Asian community, as the culture is finally given adequate representation in the realm of superheroes. When writer G. Willow Wilson, Sana Amanat, and Adrian Alphona first introduced the Pakistani-American superhero in Marvel Comics in 2013, she became a groundbreaking character, and it appears that Kamala Khan will have a similar impact in live-action superhero media as well.

Robert Downey Jr. Doesn’t Want Tom Holland To Play Spider-Man Forever

Image
The celebrities involved gain a lot from being a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They not only land a succession of high-paying gigs certain to garner a large audience, but they also give the talent in question the opportunity to branch out beyond the franchise. Take, for example, the Chrises. Hemsworth was almost unknown before going on to play their respective roles, Evans was a well-known name but not a major celebrity, and Pratt was best recognised for his performance on Parks and Recreation. The trio is now among the most well-known figures in the industry, thanks to the enhanced visibility that comes with being a member of the industry's most recognisable brand. Since his debut as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tom Holland has seized every opportunity, branching out and winning rave reviews for his performance in Netflix's The Devil All the Time, and he's also been hailed as the high point of the Russo brothers' Cherry, which hasn't exac...

Kylian Mbappe is world's most valuable footballer

Image
According to the Swiss research company CIES Football Observatory, PSG forward Kylian Mbappe is the most valued soccer player in the world, followed by Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr and new Manchester City recruit Erling Haaland. Mbappe, who passed down Real and signed a new three-year agreement with PSG last month, was ranked first on the list with an estimated transfer value of €205.6 million, ahead of Vinicius (€185.3 million) and Haaland (€152.6 million). Neymar, Mbappe's PSG teammate, currently owns the transfer record. In 2017, the French champions paid Barcelona €222 million for his signature. Pedri (€135.1 million) of Barcelona and Jude Bellingham (€133.7 million) of Borussia Dortmund completed the top five. To calculate a transfer value, the CIES Football Observatory considers factors such as the player's age, performance, career advancement, and contract length. Premier League players topped the latest ranking, with 41 players making the top 100. Ruben Dias of Manches...

Did Thanos Intentionally Save Tony Stark From the MCU’s Snap?

Image
Doctor Strange doesn't seem to get nearly enough credit in Avengers: Infinity War for engineering the one choice out of millions to spare the lives of half of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thanos already had four of the six Infinity Stones he needed to finish the Gauntlet, which he obtained by sacrificing his daughter. Thanos glanced out on his homeworld and saw Tony Stark waiting for him, determined to see it through while still grieving. Before speaking to his image of the cosmos, he confirmed his concerns that one of his other children, Black Maw, had died. The melee ensues shortly after, and their only true hope appears to be Peter Quill's plan. Surprisingly, they can pull it off flawlessly until Quill understands Gamora's fate. Starlord squanders their advantage by striking Thanos, dislodging Mantis and her sedating effect from his brow, and the Mad Titan unleashes his entire rage against the assembled warriors. Thanos stabs Stark in the side before clenching the Gaun...
