As one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood, Benedict Cumberbatch’s filmography boasts of many memorable roles that have showcased his vast talent. The British star, who is now synonymous with the mystical Doctor Strange in the MCU, has also had the opportunity to be part of another big franchise, Star Trek, in which he played Khan Noonien Singh in the 2nd film of the rebooted movie series.

J.J. Abrams, who directed the 1st two films of the rebooted trilogy, had a very different aesthetic, which saw many of the actors including Cumberbatch filming half-n*ked scenes. For one particular shower scene, the Marvel star went through rigorous training and diet to get into shape, but found out later that this sequence was edited out from the film.

As far as the MCU is concerned, the project’s most important and lucrative series is the Avengers series, which currently consists of four movies. The Avengers movies were, in many ways, the culmination of the MCU’s efforts and the most beloved movies in the whole franchise. And while many other heroes got their own series within the MCU, the Avengers are still the main dish, and that is why fans are eagerly awaiting new information on the planned Avengers sequel, tentatively titled Avengers 5. We’ve had some news and rumors in recent months, but it seems that one of the actors from the upcoming movie has given us an (un)intentional scoop!

Thor: Love and Thunder actress Natalie Portman ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Natalie Portman joined the MCU in 2011 with the ‘Thor’ movie. The actress played Jane Foster in the superhero movie, which also starred Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Kat Dennings, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, Stellar Skarsgard, and others. The actress also appeared in the sequel. However, she wasn’t a part of Thor: Ragnarok.
In 2022, Natalie Portman appeared in the fourth Thor movie – Thor: Love and Thunder. She played the female Thor in the Marvel movie and wielded the Mjolnir. So, after appearing in three MCU movies, will Natalie appear in more superhero movies with the franchise? Will we see her in Avengers 5? The actress has something to say.

Actor Ralph Ineson will be playing Galactus in the upcoming MCU film The Fantastic Four. The British actor is known for his unique, deep voice and has featured in films such as The Witch, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The actor also appeared as Dagmer Cleftjaw in Game of Thrones.
While he did not reveal much about the way the upcoming film would portray the world-devouring villain, Ineson mentioned in an interview recently that he had read the script and was extremely impressed. The character will be seen in live-action for the second time, though in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Galactus was only depicted as a cosmic cloud.

With the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe at our dispense, the audience barely has to wait before the studio juggernaut spawns a project leading on to the next Phase or the next big event. With 2025 fast approaching, the big event is set to be Avengers 5 – which, due to the faults of the parties involved, is now about to happen with or without Jonathan Majors’s Kang the Conqueror.

Earlier this week, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy addressed the pressure that comes with helming a movie many believe is going to "save" the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While an argument could be made that it doesn't need saving, Marvel Studios has made some missteps in recent years and, with so much talk of "superhero fatigue," is in desperate need of a win. As it happens, Wade Wilson and Logan could be the duo that delivers just that.
In this feature, we're exploring why 2024's only MCU movie may indeed be the one that rescues this franchise. From early box office projections to fan-pleasing cameos, and its place in the wider Multiverse Saga, Deadpool & Wolverine looks set to be crucial to Marvel Studios' continued success.

Benedict Cumberbatch first played the Sorcerer Supreme in 2016's Doctor Strange and almost immediately made his presence felt in the wider MCU.
It started with a cameo in Thor: Ragnarok before the hero showed up as a key player in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. From there, Strange - who was replaced by Wong as Sorcerer Supreme during the Blip - took centre stage in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The Sam Raimi-helmed sequel featured a multitude of Strange Variants, as has Disney+'s What If...? However, it was in the movie's closing moments that the hero met Dormammu's daughter Clea and was enlisted to help stop an Incursion he'd supposedly caused.
We haven't seen Strange since, but in a new interview looking back at his career, Cumberbatch confirmed he'll shoot a new Avengers movie in 2025.
"This is Doctor Strange," the British actor started.

Former MCU star Jonathan Majors has set his first acting gig since being convicted of assault and harassment earlier this year. The Loki and Creed III actor will play the lead in a new supernatural revenge thriller from Martin Villeneuve, the younger brother of Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve.
Based on an original screenplay by Frank Hannah, Merciless "follows a top CIA interrogator who, after the woman he loves is overtaken by a malevolent force, is forced to go even darker to defeat it. The movie is scheduled to shoot in Saskatchewan in late fall.
“Merciless intertwines themes of possession, revenge and personal justice within a haunting narrative. It explores the psychological descent of John, played by Majors, and the supernatural forces challenging his sanity,” Villeneuve says.
The project was developed by producer Christopher Tuffin, who says he “refuses to let the court of public opinion and selective prosecution undermine great art and artists.

Jonathan Majors has landed his first film role since he was convicted in 2023 of domestic assault and fired from Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. He will star in the independent revenge thriller “Merciless,” to be directed by Martin Villeneuve.
Martin Villeneuve, the younger brother of “Dune” filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, confirmed the news of Majors’ casting to Variety. Written by Frank Hannah, the film follows a CIA investigator who goes to troubling lengths after the woman he loves is overpowered by sinister forces. It’s expected to be filmed in Saskatchewan in late fall.
Majors was sentenced in April to one year of domestic violence counseling after he was found guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend. Per the Manhattan judge who presided over the two-week trial, Majors must complete a 52-week in-person program in Los Angeles. So, it’s unclear how it will overlap with the shooting schedule for “Merciless.

Jonathan Majors has landed his first film role following his much-publicized trial and misdemeanor conviction. The actor will star in the supernatural revenge thriller Merciless from filmmaker Martin Villeneuve, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The story, which is set for a fall shoot, centers on a CIA interrogator who is forced to defeat a malevolent force that has overtaken the woman he loves. Frank Hannah penned the screenplay.
Christopher Tuffin, who produced box office success story Sound of Freedom, will produce. Kevin Townsend and Kevin DeWalt will also produce, with Amanda Delaplaine, Chris Ochs, Andrew Bates and Ben DeWalt exec producing.
At the top of the year, Creed star Majors was found guilty of one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment. He was acquitted of two other counts of assault and aggravated harassment. The trail stemmed from a March 2023 incident between the actor and his ex-partner Grace Jabbari.

Ryan Reynolds first played Wade Wilson in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In the movie, he was still a regular mercenary, though William Stryker would later transform him into the twisted Weapon XI (portrayed by Scott Adkins).
The idea seemed to be to set the stage for Deadpool's return - his severed head was revealed to be "alive" in a post-credits scene - but 20th Century Fox went about the whole thing in an incredibly clumsy way.
The actor got the chance to make things right with 2016's Deadpool and 2018's Deadpool 2; however, next month, we'll see Reynolds make his MCU debut as the Merc with the Mouth in Marvel Studios' R-Rated Deadpool & Wolverine.

Deadpool & Wolverine is Marvel Studios' only 2024 movie; had last year's Hollywood strikes not happened, then the Merc with the Mouth and Logan would have been joined by Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*.
Instead, those now join The Fantastic Four in 2025 (along with Blade - Lol) and the pressure is on the Deadpool threequel to "save" the McU's Multiverse Saga.
Talking to Total Film, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy commented on the pressure that places on this movie. "We had no idea it would be this unique moment where people are asking what the MCU means any more," the filmmaker says. "Can it surprise us? Can it break molds in ways that we don't expect? We certainly hope that this movie is an answer to those questions."

Hugh Jackman has been a part of the X-Men since the 2000s and has played Wolverine for over 20 years. The role made him a household name and has carried the X-Men brand for all these years. The character has now joined the MCU alongside Deadpool and will appear in Deadpool & Wolverine next month.

Whatever Marvel Studios originally had planned for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty (now known simply as Avengers 5) and Avengers: Secret Wars has likely changed greatly in the past year or two.
The negative response to Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania caught the studio off guard, leading to Jeff Loveness reportedly being fired as the next Avengers movie's writer. With that, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness scribe Michael Waldron took over writing duties on both projects.
The plan now may be to shift the spotlight away from Kang, though the villain is still expected to be a key part of the Multiverse Saga (albeit with a new actor playing him in place of Jonathan Majors).
Today, we have a bonkers rumour to share with you which claims that Marvel Studios wants to throw Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's Spider-Man 2099 into the mix!

Blade reboot has been a long-gestating project from Marvel Studios that seems to be taking way too long to proceed, and to make it worse, the latest filmmaker to take on the movie has made his exit. This is now the second time the movie has lost its director.

After rough times for the MCU in recent years, things have been looking up for Kevin Feige and co lately. Deadpool & Wolverine is just weeks away. Its director, Shawn Levy, is circling Avengers 5. The studio has a refreshed Disney+ release slate, and The Fantastic Four is well on its way. But despite all of that, one project in particular, Blade, just can't seem to catch a break. Having already lost Bassam Tariq as director back in 2022, per The Wrap's reporting, the long-gestating vampire movie's replacement director Yann Demange has walked away from the film too.
According to the report on Demange's departure, the French-Algerian '71 filmmaker actually left Blade some time ago, with his exit being entirely amicable. And now, as the movie searches for another director ahead of its rapidly approaching (and increasingly unlikely) November 2025 release, Fantastic Four scribe and Marvel veteran Eric Pearson has been...

Yann Demange is the latest director to depart from Marvel’s Blade. It’s another blow for the studio’s vampire comic book reboot.
Reports have surfaced this morning stating that Yann Demange has vacated the director’s chair on Blade. The troubled history of Marvel’s attempt to bring the popular half-vampire back to the screen after a decades-long absence is well documented, and Blade might just stand as the studio’s most problematic production in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The parting is said to have been amicable, although naturally no reason has been offered to explain the ’71 director’s exit, not even the oft-trotted out ‘creative differences’. Ironically, it could well be creative differences this time.

One of the most skilled warriors, reliable leaders, and incredibly powerful characters in the entire Marvel universe, Captain Marvel is easily one of the most popular characters in the comics. However, the recent live-action adaptations of her character arcs starring Brie Larson as Carol Danvers rank among some of the most critically panned projects from the MCU to date.

But it seems like the failure of especially The Marvels hasn’t gotten Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige on the verge of losing all hope in the character. This comes after the latest updates reveal that she will be making her return through Avengers 5. What’s more is that she won’t be the only one coming back, considering how 2 other heroes from Avengers: Endgame are also reported to return.

A slew of characters from Marvel movies outside of the MCU might be making their way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as Deadpool & Wolverine gears up to hit theatres this summer. A myriad of characters have been confirmed to be appearing from the multiverse, and a particular poster of the film might have teased a secret cameo.

The Fantastic Four is one of the most hotly anticipated upcoming films, primarily because of the fanbase’s desire to see Marvel’s first family in the MCU. The upcoming film is expected to introduce Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm with Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach filling out the cast.

The MCU has grown big with 33 movies and many TV shows. Lately, the quality seems to be dropping. But still, it’s clear that the MCU has made some top-notch superhero movies.
Fans on Ranker voted for their favorites, with over 200,000 votes. The list has some unexpected picks and some you’d totally anticipate.
10. ‘Black Widow’ (2021)
‘Black Widow’ came out after Natasha’s character had already met her tragic end, prompting fans to rush to theaters to bid her farewell in her standalone movie. The film was largely liked, featuring great action scenes and a strong supporting cast. However, much attention was drawn to Johansson’s legal battle with the studio over its early release on Disney+. Despite these issues, ‘Black Widow’ managed to secure a spot in the top 10, which is somewhat surprising considering the circumstances.

MCU so far spans 33 movies and numerous TV shows, as the universe keeps expanding the quality of movies and other projects generally seems to have declined in recent years.
However, despite these recent changes, it’s an undeniable fact that the MCU has given us some of the best superhero movies in the history of the genre. Luckily, fans gathered on Ranker with over 200,000 votes and picked Crème de la crème movies of the MCU. Some placements are surprising, while some are exactly where you would expect them.
10. ‘Black Widow’ (2021)
‘Black Widow’ was released after Natasha already tragically passed away, so fans hurried to theaters to “say goodbye” to the character in her final and standalone movie. The movie was generally received well with brilliant action sequences and a stellar supporting cast. However, it was mostly marked by Johansson’s lawsuit against the studio for releasing the movie on Disney+ too soon.

We've been hearing rumblings about a Young Avengers movie or TV show for several years now, with the closest we've come to that being at the end of The Marvels when Ms. Marvel attempted to recruit Kate Bishop/Hawkeye to a team she's started assembling.
However, at this rate, the McU's Young Avengers won't be young for very long!
In a rumour roundup shared by The Cosmic Circus, Alex Perez claims Young Avengers will likely head our way before movies like Scarlet Witch and Thor 5, suggesting Marvel Studios is finally getting serious about bringing these heroes together.
Needless to say, it will be interesting to see how a movie like this fares at the box office, particularly if it's released before Avengers 5.
As for whether the project will finally unite Wiccan and Hulkling, a popular LGBTQ+ couple in the comics, Perez seems confident it's going to happen. "Billy isn’t even the Wiccan yet.

We've been sifting through Deadpool & Wolverine rumours from the moment it was first announced. Very early on, there were rumblings about it dealing with the aftermath of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and, more specifically, the Scarlet Witch's attack on Earth-838.
The movie was supposed to show us what became of that world after Wanda killed the Illuminati, with it now a "dystopian future led by a handful of individuals who were related to the deceased members of the former Illuminati."
They intended to wage war on Earth-616 with Sir Ian McKellen's Magneto said to be leading the charge; we're not sure what the idea was beyond that, but it's possible this was connected to former Avengers: The Kang Dynasty writer Jeff Loveness' plans for the now-untitled movie.

“Nothing lasts forever.” There’s something deeply ironic about that line of dialogue being dropped by Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow in only the second Avengers movie from almost 10 years ago. While Johansson’s tenure in the superhero genre is apparently over, with the Oscar-nominated star more recently focusing on films like Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, the MCU is still going strong with the latest whispers about Avengers 5 getting the rumor mills spinning again. Hence one of the reasons Steve Carell and Illumination Entertainment’s new marketing for Despicable Me 4 is so biting.
Carell—who, by the by, was also in Asteroid City—took time to promote not only Despicable Me 4 in a new viral marketing video, but an entire supposed “Mega Minions” shared universe that will outlive us all and see the 22nd century.

A combination of Jonathan Majors' firing and the tepid response to Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania has led to Marvel Studios changing its plans for Kang the Conqueror.
While the time-travelling villain and his many Variants are still expected to factor into the Multiverse Saga, it's thought he'll be replaced or at least joined by one or more threats to the Multiverse. The question is, who will that be when Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars roll around?
In this feature, we're taking a look at the most intriguing possibilities. From those who can stand alongside Kang to the baddies who might just usurp him as the Multiverse's greatest threat, we think you'll have fun seeing who we've singled out.

Diving into the world of comics reveals an interesting trend. For the longest part of their existence, the team of mutants enjoyed a celebrated status in-universe, at times exceeding those of their more human counterparts. However, in live-action, the group of remarkable actors handpicked by Kevin Feige surpassed both box office and pop culture popularity with 2012’s The Avengers in contrast to the X-Men, which came to life at the hands of Fox, years before.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has undoubtedly noticed a slump in quality post Avengers: Endgame. Most new heroes introduced to replace the Og ones did not work well among fans. While heroes like Shang-Chi and Moon Knight shone, She-Hulk was highly criticized by fans worldwide.

The vessels are now under the control of Alioth. Speculation abounds whether these ships were left over from the invasion or were pruned before the fateful events on Titan.
This isn't the first time that the remnants of Thanos and the Black Order have appeared in The Void. Fans may recall the Thanoscopter from Loki Season 1, initially seen as a fun nod but now part of a broader pattern of references.

Marvel Studios had huge plans for Kang the Conqueror prior to actor Jonathan Majors being dropped from the role after being convicted of assault, and while the character is still expected to feature in the MCU in some capacity going forward, we still don't know exactly what Kevin Feige and co. have in store for the powerful villain.
Though Avengers 5 is no longer titled "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty," previous reports have claimed that the character will still appear in a greatly reduced role.
Back in January, Deadline's Justin Kroll responded to the rumor that Coleman Domingo was being eyed to replace Majors.
"See a lot 'who will play Kang next' and 'here is a top contender for Kang' comments this week, and all I’ll say is this, don’t expect that news anytime soon," Kroll wrote in an X post. "There will be plenty of Marvel breaks in...

2008’s Iron Man kick-started the Marvel Cinematic Universe and 2012’s The Avengers put the connected franchise into the mega-spotlight for featuring one of the biggest live-action comic crossovers ever. The trend continued in the coming years as Marvel Studios upped its scale and ambitions with new characters and storylines, complemented by a star-studded Avengers series, culminating it all with the end of its Infinity Saga, or phase three.

Following it, the next two phases, four and five, have remained largely devoid of any big crossover, as the multiverse saga branched out into dozens of appearing and announced new characters with little to no connection with the wider universe, or even without a screened project, alienating the fandom.

Following it, the next two phases, four and five, have remained largely devoid of any big crossover, as the multiverse saga branched out into dozens of appearing and announced new characters with little to no connection with the wider universe, or even without a screened project, alienating the fandom. One of the biggest victims of this treatment is Mahershala Ali’s long-overdue Blade. To add to fans’ woes,...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is heading towards Secret Wars, a crossover that is sure to bring in a slew of characters from all over the Marvel Multiverse into the film. While little is confirmed about the film, rumors have been circulating that the film might bring in veteran and new actors into the MCU to reprise their roles from Marvel movies past, whether they were a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe or not.

While the Avengers will face Kang (as far as we know) in Avengers: Secret Wars, what comes after is completely up for speculation.

A major deviation from the mixed bag of box-office successes and failures that of the post-Avengers: Endgame movies, Marvel Studios in collaboration with Sony, pulled off one of the biggest cinematic experiences with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. The 2021 flick not only revived the big screens after a pandemic slump, but also brought the three major live-action Spider-Man actors together on-screen, along with some of the most iconic villains from all of their movies.

Most Marvel fans are at their wit’s end because they are absolutely clueless about Kang following the dismissal of Jonathan Majors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor was found guilty of assault and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Sadly, the actor’s exit from the superhero franchise had brought Avengers 5 to a standstill.

Jonathan Majors was supposed to be the next big bad villain for the two upcoming Avengers films, that is Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.
While the film came to a dead stop for quite some time, it looks like Marvel Studios went back to the planning board and decided to pull the plug on Majors’ Kang the Conqueror for the time being. Since MCU is reportedly looking to focus on other villains than the one they had initially planned.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe currently has a cloud of uncertainty looming over it after Jonathan Majors’ dismissal. Reports about the fate of Kang the Conqueror come and go, but nothing seems to be solid just yet. There are also reports that other big bad villains, including Doctor Doom, may replace the character altogether in the superhero universe.

After some not-so-great MCU projects, it’s time to get back on track and gear up for ‘Avengers 5’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars.’ ‘Doctor Strange 3’ was supposed to kickstart this journey but things seem uncertain now, especially after Cumberbatch’s recent comments.
Recent statements from Alex Perez during his Discord Ask Me Anything session bring some disappointing news for Doctor Strange fans. According to him, setting up the story of Doctor Strange and Clea properly will require more than just a couple of appearances in other projects.
What I’ve heard about Stephen Strange’s story leading into Secret Wars requires a minimum of a third Doctor Strange movie for it to be explored properly, or at the very least three Avengers films. Anything less, and I’m afraid that both Stephen and Clea’s characters might fall short of fans’ expectations.

Following a disappointing few projects so far for the MCU, It’s time to turn this around and slowly start building toward ‘Avengers 5’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars.’ One massive project that was supposed to be a direct prelude to these multiversal events was ‘Doctor Strange 3.’
Following Cumberbatch’s latest statements fans aren’t quite sure that the movie will come to fruition before the next two ‘Avengers’ movies.
Now the recent claims by Alex Perez during his Discord Ama have a few disappointing updates for fans of Doctor Strange. Per his claims to set up his and Clea’s story properly it’s going to take a lot more than a few appearances in other projects:

Among all the movies Marvel Studios has lined up, the ‘Avengers’ series stands out as the most thrilling. With two new ‘Avengers’ films in the works, the journey towards the fifth installment has been quite eventful lately.
Majors was let go in December of last year following allegations of assault against his ex-girlfriend, casting some uncertainty over the direction of the movie. The film’s title shifted from ‘Kang Dynasty’ to ‘Avengers 5,’ and it’s unclear if Kang remains the primary antagonist.
New reports from Alex Perez’s Discord Ama suggest that ‘Avengers 5’ will explore a multiverse theme with a down-to-earth plot. It seems like the movie might split into two parts, exploring elements from the ‘Avengers Assemble/Avengers: Forever’ event. This storyline involves a Multiversal Council of Mephisto variants known as the Council of Red, Multiversal Masters of Evil, and an Avengers team-up to save existence. This...

Out of all the movies on Marvel Studios’ release schedule, the ‘Avengers’ franchise is undoubtedly the most exciting one. We know that two new ‘Avengers’ movies are in development, and when it comes to the fifth installment in the franchise, we’ve been through a lot in the last few months.
Majors’ was fired back in December after being found guilty of third-degree assault against his former girlfriend, and since then, the direction of the movie is confusing, to say the least. The movie internally changed its name from ‘Kang Dynasty’ to ‘Avenger 5,’ and we can’t even be sure that Kang is the main villain still.
Some new reports however have surfaced via Alex Perez’s discord Ama which claim that the movie will focus on a multiversal story with grounded story.
It sounds like ‘Avengers 5’ might explore the multiverse, possibly splitting into two parts with a grounded storyline.

Benedict Cumberbatch plays Stephen Strange a.k.a Doctor Strange in the MCU. One of the leading figures of the Avengers, Strange, has made multiple appearances, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The character was last seen in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Though Strange is an important character, his future in the MCU has been unclear. However, a recent update sees him taking a backseat to make way for Benedict Wong’s Wong to act as a recruiter. According to a new rumor, Wong, the current Sorcerer Supreme, will be recruiting new Avengers for the film Captain America: Brave New World.

So far, Marvel Studios remains mum on their plans for the next two Avengers installments, but it was reported recently that Avengers 5 is expected to bring back more than 60 MCU characters.

We recently learned that Marvel Studios is eyeing Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy to helm Avengers 5. The filmmaker has read Michael Waldron's script for the project and is now in talks to take charge of a movie originally titled The Kang Dynasty.
The Cosmic Circus has shared an update on the project today, reiterating recent reports about it featuring a "grounded story" with Multiversal elements. The site has also heard that, when it comes to Avengers: Secret Wars, it will likely become a two-parter and feature "more than one central antagonist."
It also sounds like the plan is to adapt elements from Jason Aaron's Avengers Assemble event. In that, Mephisto rewrites reality to rid himself of Earth-616's Avengers once and for all; the heroes pursue the villain through the Multiverse and even meet their 10,000 B.C. counterparts. It also involved a Multiversal Masters of Evil.

A recent rumor claimed that Jordan Peele met with Marvel Studios about potentially taking the helm of an upcoming movie, and we may now know which project he was speaking to Kevin Feige and co. about.
Though it took some convincing (and a few quid from his patrons), Jeff Sneider revealed the name of the film during the latest episode of The Hot Mic, and, as many speculated, it was indeed the long-awaited X-Men reboot.
Unfortunately, it sounds like things didn't work out.
Sneider heard that he took the meeting a few weeks ago, and isn't actually sure if he was being eyed to director or write. Since then, we got word that the movie has enlisted a writer in the form of Michael Lesslie (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes; 2016's Assassin’s Creed movie).
This doesn't mean Peele won't return to the project down the line...

While the entirety of 2010s saw Marvel dominating the box office with each of their releases, since Endgame, reception to their output has been pretty mixed. Although the cinematic giant witnessed great highs with No Way Home and Guardians 3, the studio has also experienced its fair share of lows, especially with The Marvels, which became a historic bomb.
But it seems The Marvels‘ failure hasn’t impacted MCU’s plan for its upcoming Young Avenger film, and fans aren’t too thrilled by the recent update on its production.
