Earlier this month, Disney CEO Bob Iger mentioned at the quarterly earnings call that the company is open to making Marvel movies that go beyond a PG-13 rating. Iger’s comments added fuel to the preexisting rumor that the upcoming Black Widow film would be the MCU’s first R-rated feature, but now it seems that Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has laid this hearsay to rest.
Zombieland: Double Tap makes another noteworthy addition to what was already looking like an impressive cast, with Variety reporting that Luke Wilson has joined the line-up for the upcoming sequel to 2009’s Zombieland.
There’s been a lot of talk lately of various Star Wars spinoff shows that Lucasfilm might be considering for Disney Plus.

Last month, a rumor started circulating that the upcoming Loki TV show will only feature Tom Hiddleston as a narrator, while the lead role will be handled by a new actor playing the trickster in his younger days.

And while the general public is still a couple of weeks away from seeing the footage for themselves, Ryan Fleck seems very pleased with the scene they gave the writer.
The role of Annette Bening in the upcoming Captain Marvel has been the subject of much rumor and speculation, but while Marvel Studios has so far been keeping their cards close to their chest on the matter, a new clip from Carol Danvers’ solo debut offers some official clarification on just who the 20th Century Women star is playing.
As its full title would indicate, Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) will see Margot Robbie’s character breaking away from her relationship with the Joker, and in some newly shared set photos, we witness what just might be the moments after the Clown Princess of Crime has left her Prince.
Back in July of last year, director James Gunn was fired from the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 for incendiary tweets that were posted prior to his involvement with Marvel Studios.
