John Boyega Rejects Marvel for Now: I Want ‘Fresh Ideas’ and You Can’t Top ‘Iron Man’ Anyway

It's difficult to go two or three months without coming across an online rumour stating John Boyega will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A 2021 rumour said Boyega was involved in the "Captain Marvel" sequel "The Marvels," while an unverified story from May claimed Boyega had already shot a secret Marvel role. In a recent interview with Men's Health, Boyega has dispelled those claims, claiming that he is not now interested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Boyega stated of Marvel movies, "That's not in the picture for me right now." "I want to take sophisticated actions... I want to donate my talents to independent films with fresh, innovative ideas because I know how difficult it will be to top "Iron Man" in that genre.

Boyega's agent, Femi Oguns, told the media that Boyega has always wanted "to disrupt the industry and also to make history" as an actor. He continued, "For John, it was never about trying to fit into the box. He aspires to be the box's outline.

Boyega has deliberately shunned roles like drug dealers and slaves in order to "disrupt" the system for Black actors. "For John, it's all about accountability," Oguns continued. He rejects the idea of being categorised by archetypal roles.

Boyega's performance as Finn in three "Star Wars" films would make joining Marvel his second Disney-backed series; however, the actor is now concentrating on independent films. Boyega co-stars with Viola Davis in the epic battle film "The Woman King," which Sony Pictures releases in theatres on September 16 in addition to his Sundance thriller "Breaking," which debuts on August 26.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand

Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La
