Peter Parker's departure from the MCU was likely the topic on everyone's mind at the Keystone Comic Con over the weekend. According to attendees who were there, however, that's the one subject they were told not to talk about. Before Spider-Man actor Tom Holland's appearance at the Philadelphia convention, those in charge instructed the audience to steer clear of the elephant in the room.
Spider-Man may one day return to the MCU, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon. According to our sources - the same ones who told us a She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel TV series were on the way, both of which were confirmed last night - the two sides are still not close to striking a deal. Sony reportedly wants $10 billion for the rights to the web-slinger. And Disney, despite all of the money they've made from Peter Parker, isn't interested in paying that price.
Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day! Fans of the animated Robin Hood are going to be singing that joyous song all day once they hear this news: according to our sources, Disney is currently in the early stages of developing a live-action reboot of their 1973 classic.
As if the new Disney Plus show What If...? didn't sound exciting enough already, it's just been revealed that practically everyone from the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be returning to voice their characters. This spectacular lineup of talent includes Michael B. Jordan, Sebastian Stan, Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Hayley Atwell, Chadwick Boseman, Karen Gillan, Jeremy Renner, Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Neal McDonough, Dominic Cooper, Sean Gunn, Natalie Portman, David Dastmalchian, Stanley Tucci, Taika Waititi, Toby Jones, Djimon Hounsou, Jeff Goldblum, Michael Rooker and Chris Sullivan. It's hard to ask for a better cast than that!
Disney continues to give fans more reasons to be interested in their upcoming streaming platform. It was just announced at the D23 expo that the upcoming show What If...? will explore potential scenarios from all twenty-three of the films set in the MCU. This means that each individual movie will be the focus of their own particular episode.
As if things aren't confusing enough already, the Marvel Cinematic Universe will now feature two characters also named Marvel. And given how much small-minded fanboys dislike Captain Marvel, it seems likely that they won't dig Ms. Marvel. The latter is most known for being the first Muslim superhero to headline her own comic book and now she's reportedly getting her own live-action TV series on Disney Plus.
The long-awaited first glimpses of the new Black Widow costume have finally arrived. Contrary to what one might expect, however, the outfit this time around is decidedly less dark than what audiences are used to. Set photos that debuted on Twitter earlier today gave fans a look at what Scarlett Johansson's titular character will be wearing onscreen during her standalone movie, and you can check them out down below.
James Wan is the king of modern horror franchises. From Saw to Insidious to The Conjuring, it seems that practically everything the filmmaker touches turns to cinematic gold and his upcoming film Silvercup looks like it has the potential to follow in the footsteps of its predecessors.
Sony's unceremonious split with Marvel has left fans with a lot of unanswered questions. Where will the Spider-Man franchise go from here? How will the Avengers will explain the web-head's abrupt absence? And perhaps most pressing of all, what will happen to the romance budding between Happy and Aunt May?
Now that the Caped Crusader of Gotham City has a new face, everyone's wondering who will get the opportunity to portray his trusted butler. Some are speculating that a legend like Pierce Brosnan will get to take on the role, while we've also heard reports that Warner Bros. is considering lesser-known talents like Jared Harris. But now we have one more name to add to the list, as our sources say that there's another name fans should be watching out for to potentially play Alfred Pennyworth in The Batman: Charles Dance.
