Jon Watts cut his teeth on indie movies like Clown and Cop Car, but his big break came when Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures tapped him to helm 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming.
He'd later return for Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), with the latter presenting more than its fair share of challenges thanks to the pandemic. Still, the threequel was a massive hit and Watts was announced as the director of The Fantastic Four, only to walk away from the project months later.
Now, the untitled Spider-Man 4 - which is expected to be released between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars - finds itself without a director because Watts will not return to helm the wall-crawler's next adventure.
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, the filmmaker broke his silence on moving on from the MCU by admitting he's all too aware that following Spider-Man: No Way Home will be near impossible.

While composer Michael Giacchino's theme for The Fantastic Four: First Steps debuted at the San Diego Comic-Con, the full version was played in Los Angeles this past Friday and is nothing short of epic.
It was played as a post-credits scene, of sorts, for the Infinity Saga Concert Experience and this feels like another sign Marvel Studios is going to treat this reboot as one of its biggest and most important movies in the entire Multiverse Saga.
Below is the official description for the Infinity Saga Concert Experience. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has since announced it's going on a worldwide tour; we're still waiting for additional details on that, so stay tuned.
"Gustavo Dudamel conducts the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the global premiere of a new Marvel Studios film concert that will take you on an epic on-screen cinematic journey that covers 23 films in one momentous concert experience.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Infinity Saga received an orchestral treatment in a show that debuted Friday night at the Hollywood Bowl, complete with a “Fantastic Four” post-credits tease. Following fireworks closing out a look back at the MCU films that culminated in “Avengers: Endgame,” composer Michael Giacchino ran out with some music for famed conductor Gustavo Dudamel, asking if they could take just… “four more minutes.”
When Giacchino turned around to exit the stage and watch, the crowd could see his blue sportcoat featured a Fantastic Four logo on the back. The orchestra then debuted the theme to the much-anticipated film, set for release on July 25, 2025.
The score has a jaunty vibe, perhaps a bit reminiscent of the “Ant-Man” score, but with its own retro vibes befitting the rumored 1960s setting of the project. The tune blends a dreamy sense with future-looking heroic optimism, along with elements that echo...

Following yesterday's new photos from the set of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, we finally have the video to go with it.
As well as showcasing the Baxter Building's now-completed Excelsior Launch Pad (blue logo and all), we see a group of extras reacting to the takeoff and landing of a vehicle likely to be added down the line with VFX.
After watching this footage, it's also clear that isn't Reed Richards and Sue Storm watching from afar despite what we were told yesterday. When it comes to the aforementioned vehicle, with these people standing on the Excelsior Launch Pad, it's almost certainly the Fantasticar.
The cast has reportedly been spotted in costume but aside from a leak showcasing The Thing, those images have yet to surface. With filming taking place at Pinewood Studios rather than out in the world, it seems photographers are limited with what they can share.

Production on The Fantastic Four: First Steps is underway in the UK and the closest the paparazzi can get is, well, based on however good the zoom feature on their drones is!
In this latest batch of images, we see a crowd of extras cheering on the Fantasticar as it takes off. While that's not physically there, the photographer heard it mentioned and the actors were once again directed to cheer when it landed.
Interestingly, it's said Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) and Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) were watching from afar (and that does look like them). Perhaps the crowd is celebrating The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) given that he frequently pilots the team's ship on the page.
That's the Excelsior Launch Pad everyone is standing on, anyway, and this appears to be yet another sign Marvel's First Family will be treated as beloved celebrities in their reality.

Marvel Studios' long-awaited reboot of the Fantastic Four franchise, titled The Fantastic Four: First Steps, finally arrives in theaters next summer. First announced at Comic-Con in 2019, it's been a long time coming for fans of Marvel's First Family.
An impressive cast has since been assembled for a movie which promises to have major implications for the wider MCU as we head into the next Avengers movies. Production recently began in the UK, bringing an early wave of surprisingly revealing set photos.
By far the biggest talking point so far is, of course, our first look at The Thing. In this feature, we share a new shot of that practical costume (which confirms there is indeed someone wearing the suit) after taking a deep dive into everything else we've spotted in recent weeks.

Before Mia Farrow gave birth to Rosemary's Baby in Roman Polanski's '60s horror classic, the Devil chose another young woman to be the mother of the antichrist.
Paramount+ has released the first trailer for Apartment 7A, which is set to premiere on the streaming service on September 27. Directed by Natalie Erika James from a script by Skylar James and Christian White, the movie adapts elements from the same novel the 1968 original is based on.
Julia Garner (Ozark) stars as a dancer named Terry Gionoffrio (who we met in Rosemary's Baby as a recovering drug addict played by Victoria Vetri) who moves into the infamous Bramford building and finds herself falling under the influence of some very sinister neighbours. Terry has big ambitions, and the Bramford residents are willing to make her an offer she can't - but really should - refuse in return for stardom.

Julia Garner’s new home is not quite what she expected in the first trailer for Paramount+’s Rosemary’s Baby prequel feature, Apartment 7A.
The psychological horror movie from director Natalie Erika James hits the streaming service and digital VOD on Sept. 27. The cast includes Dianne Wiest, Kevin McNally, Jim Sturgess, Marli Siu, Andrew Buchan, Rosy McEwen and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.
Apartment 7A focuses on Terry Gionoffrio (Garner), an aspiring dancer in New York City who suffers an injury and moves into a luxury apartment building called the Bramford with an affluent couple (Wiest and McNally). After a Broadway producer (Sturgess) offers her a path to fame, Terry has an evening she can’t quite remember and suspects that something evil inhabits her apartment and the building itself.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Set Photo Reveals First Look at The Thing's Practical Costume - Main Image
A set photo from the filming of The Fantastic Four: First Steps is making waves online as it gave us our first look at The Thing's practical costume.
Production is currently underway for the highly-anticipated MCU film ahead of its release in theaters next year. Fans were given a very early glimpse during Marvel Studios' San Diego Comic-Con Hall H presentation last month.
So far, there are no official first-look photos yet on the First Family's costumes, but fans have been looking forward to seeing what the MCU version looks like on their superhero suits.

After years of longing since the original film series and an unforgettable mishit in between, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is finally bringing back the Fantastic Four, and fans couldn’t be happier. The principal photography for the same has also reportedly started, and so have the leaks and spoilers. Like Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s most recent leaked look as The Thing.

Taken presumably from the sets of the movie, this exclusively leaked clip has been wreaking havoc on the internet and features the actor preparing the look for his role. And, surprisingly enough, as it seems from the way he is getting prepped for it, the MCU just may not be using the same movie magic for this F4 hero that it does for Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk – at least, not to the same extent.

A video from the set of The Fantastic Four: First Steps has given us our first look at The Thing. Based on the video, the character looks pretty damn close to The Thing we know and love, heavy brow and all. It would also appear that there’s actually someone inside the suit. Check out the set video below!

Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who will be playing Ben Grimm aka The Thing in the new movie, has previously confirmed that this new incarnation of the character will be done through motion capture.

Are our eyes deceiving us, or are fans of the Fantastic Four finally about to have their patience rewarded? For as much as the Marvel Cinematic Universe has brought some of the absolute nerdiest and most heightened concepts to life in live-action, comic book readers of certain other Marvel properties have had to make like that Squidward meme and watch helplessly through a window while others have enjoyed seeing their childhood dreams come true. For every Captain America or Doctor Strange stan that has seen their favorite C-list (or even D-list) superheroes turn into household names over the last 15 years, others haven't quite been so fortunate. That appears set to change in a big way, as Kevin Feige's highly-anticipated take on the First Family is already showing why it's at the top of everyone's wish list.

In 2005's Fantastic Four and its sequel, 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, actor Michael Chiklis donned a practical costume to bring The Thing to life on screen.
It worked for the time, but in Josh Trank's 2015 reboot, Jamie Bell's take on the character was realised with visual effects. Now, we have a first look at The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing!
Shockingly, he too appears to be practical; as of now, we don't know whether there's an actor - presumably Ebon Moss-Bachrach - in the suit or whether this is simply a stand-in meant to serve as a reference for actors and visual effects artists. Based on the few seconds of footage we have, it does look like someone's in there.
This being a stand-in perhaps makes the most sense, though a practical Thing could suit the Marvel Studios reboot's 1960s aesthetic.

Sigourney Weaver is a true legend of the sci-fi genre, having appeared in the likes of Ghostbusters, Avatar, and, of course, the Alien movies, which she led as the iconic Ellen Ripley in the first four films prior to the franchise being revived with Ridley Scott's Prometheus in 2012.
Weaver also played the villain in Netflix's The Defenders series, but her MCU stint was short-lived when her character was killed-off by Elektra.
Fans have often wondered if Weaver might take a trip to the Galaxy Far, Far Away at some point, and earlier this year, the trades reported that she was in talks for a key role in Lucasfilm's The Mandalorian and Grogu.
During an interview with Deadline, Weaver confirmed that she has signed on for the movie and is set to begin shooting very soon.

The Mandalorian and Grogu: Pedro Pascal's Long-Debated Involvement Seemingly Confirmed - Main Image
With upcoming projects for HBO and Marvel, the extent of Pedro Pascal's involvement in The Mandalorian and Grogu flick remains uncertain for fans.
Considering that he was only the voice-over for the Din Djarin for most of The Mandalorian's run, here's what we know about his potential physical involvement in the 2026 MandoVerse flick.
Pedro Pascal's Physical Involvement in The Mandalorian & Grogu More Likely
Pedro Pascal previously confirmed that he only voiced Din Djarin aka The Mandalorian in the entire three seasons of the show, except for his helmetless scenes in seasons 1 and 2.
Although he sported the suit "a significant amount" of times, the majority of Din's screentime wasn't Pascal himself.
This is because, at the time, Pascal was also filming for HBO's acclaimed Naughty Dog adaptation of The Last of Us as Joel Miller,...

"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and Autumn moon is bright."
Universal and Blumhouse's long-awaited Wolfman movie (now known as Wolf Man) went through a hairy (sorry) phase of production late last year, but cameras officially started rolling back in March, and we now have our first official look at an early promo poster for the film (via FearHQ.com).
The banner was spotted on display at Universal Orlando as part of the park's Halloween Horror Nights takeover. The image gives us a first look at the movie's logo and what will presumably be the primary location of the story, but no sign of the titular lycanthrope, who will likely be kept under wraps until well into the marketing phase.

Over the weekend, we shared some new photos and footage from the set of The Fantastic Four: First Steps featuring Times Square, the Baxter Building's Excelsior launchpad, and a mysterious statue.
At the time, we wondered whether the latter might be alien in nature; now, upon closer inspection, we see it's meant as a tribute to Marvel's First Family.
Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing have all been incorporated into a rather artsy piece which feels like it may very well be the work of a certain Alicia Masters! That's pure speculation on our part, of course, but Natasha Lyonne remains a popular suggestion for the role of Ben Grimm's future wife among fans.
This alternate reality 1960s New York City is vastly different from our own and that's almost down to the Fantastic Four and Reed Richard's amazing intellect. For example, we've seen an "Ff...

When The Mandalorian premiered on Disney+ in 2019, most viewers quickly became enamored with the Yodi-like Grogu. The title character could have become an afterthought, but the man behind the mask helped infuse Din Djarin with quiet charisma and heroic stoicism. In fact, I remember asking my brother who the actor playing Mando was. “That’s Pedro Pascal! He’s from Narcos.” I looked up the Netflix crime series and it seemed right up my alley.
Fast forward to 2023 and Pascal is on my screen again with the HBO adaptation of The Last of Us. Once again playing a father figure and a hardened fighter, Pascal proved his ability to play a leading role was cemented in carbonite. He was cast as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps for 2025 and by the time he appears in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II at the end of this year,...

As Marvel readies The Fantastic Four for the MCU, it was inevitable that everyone from the earlier movies would be recast. And while Chris Evans has gone on to play a key role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – thus bumping to the top of the list for a Deadpool & Wolverine cameo – that hasn’t been the case for the rest of the team. Fortunately, at least Jessica Alba is taking it in good stride, even lending words of wisdom to Vanessa Kirby, who will take over Invisible Woman aka Sue Storm in next year’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Jessica Alba – who played Invisible Woman in both 2005’s Fantastic Four and 2007’s Rise of the Silver Surfer – recently stated that she thinks Vanessa Kirby should embrace the wide fandom of the characters, saying, “I think [the advice is to] just have fun. The fans are so amazing.” She added, “It was probably one...

Work continues on The Fantastic Four: First Steps set in England and it appears the alternate reality Times Square has finally been completed.
As you can see in the newly revealed photos and videos below, signage has been added to the buildings along with a giant TV screen and well over a dozen '60s-style vehicles. However, both they and everything else we see have an interesting retro-futuristic spin on them.
That's because the reboot doesn't just take place in the 1960s, but in a world far more advanced than our own which appears to have benefited massively from Mister Fantastic's genius.
We'd imagine the cast will soon start shooting on this massive set, though it remains to be seen whether we'll get any photos of footage of Marvel's First Family in action.

Things are going from "pretty bad, guys" to pretty bad guys over in the recently rejuvenated MCU right about now! With Robert Downey Jr. set to get his Victor Von Doom on in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, Ralph Ineson prepping to play planet eater Galactus in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and other ne'er-do-wells on their way including the motley crew of Thunderbolts*, Giancarlo Esposito's Captain America: Brave New World supervillain Sidewinder, and the titular witch of Agatha All Along all on Marvel Studios' horizon, Kang the Conqueror is but a distant memory already. And now, per THR's reporting, we're getting news that a familiar robotic foe from the McU's past is readying a villainous return. That's right folks — James Spader's bionic big-bad Ultron is set to make a comeback in WandaVision's as-yet-untitled Vision spin-off series.

There had been rumblings about Robert Downey Jr. returning to the MCU heading into last month's San Diego Comic-Con, but none of us expected him to be announced as Doctor Doom in place of Iron Man!
The Oscar-winner first suited up as Tony Stark in 2008 and, five years after bidding farewell to the Armoured Avenger in Avengers: Endgame, he'll transform into one of the Marvel Universe's greatest villains in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
We completely understand why the decision to cast Downey as Victor Von Doom has proven somewhat divisive but now have some thoughts on why it's actually a good idea. In fact, we'd say this casting decision is the best one Marvel Studios could have made.

Doctor Doom functions as one of the most complex villains in the Marvel Universe, far eclipsing the likes of Galactus, Thanos, and The Beyonder. A worthy nemesis to the world’s smartest man, Doctor Doom’s entry into the MCU affords Kevin Feige a choice to do some pretty cerebral things, including rebooting the MCU.

Doctor Doom is usually depicted as being privy to the ongoing in alternate timelines and usually sees that every timeline that he is not in charge, fall apart. This is one of the arguments that Doctor Doom often uses to stump the likes of Mister Fantastic, who might be a superhero, but often ends up putting reason above everything else. Kevin Feige could use this to actually reboot the MCU, rebuilding a more cohesive and present universe.

With Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror now sidelined as the McU's big bad, Robert Downey Jr. will step into the spotlight as the Multiverse Saga's new final boss: Doctor Doom.
While we only have a vague idea of what's to come in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, it's no secret that the Multiverse will be in play. As for the addition of Doom, it opens the door to us meeting characters we didn't expect to see in the MCU for a very long time.
In this feature, we're taking a look at the heroes, villains, and supporting players who should all be added to the MCU either before or in the next Avengers movies. Some have ties to Doom and others to the Multiverse; there are also a few surprises you might not expect!

Last year, New York dispersed about $124 million in tax credits to various entities belonging to Paramount Global as a reward for 10 projects that were shot in the state. Those productions — which encompassed an array of feature films, TV series and even a talk show, including Clifford the Big Red Dog, Blue Bloods and The Drew Barrymore Show — invested nearly $425 million in the region through labor and other costs.
California, meanwhile, saw just $71 million in spending from Paramount Global for titles that were granted credits in 2023 to film in the area. The figure was a far cry from the $295 million the company spent for projects that were awarded incentives just three years earlier. It’s the latest in a trend of productions turning away from the Golden State and toward other jurisdictions that are steadily beefing up their tax relief programs in bids to attract Hollywood money.

When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019 in one of the biggest media takeovers of all time, the House of Mouse absorbed its film slate — and promptly had to slog through an endless series of commercial duds.
Movies like “X-Men” spinoffs “Dark Phoenix” and “New Mutants,” Brad Pitt’s astronaut drama “Ad Astra,” buddy comedy “Stuber,” Harrison Ford-led canine adventure “The Call of the Wild” and animated pigeon comedy “Spies in Disguise” were rejected by audiences and sputtered at the box office. Worse, they didn’t exactly instill confidence in the film assets that resulted from the $71.3 billion mega-merger.
“Those Fox titles that were part of the deal but weren’t made by Disney seemed like they were orphaned,” says senior Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “With any merger, there are going to be growing pains. And this is a slow-moving business.”

With Robert Downey Jr.’s return revitalizing excitement around the MCU, fans are once again looking forward to what lies ahead. While not every upcoming project has generated the same level of buzz, several—such as Daredevil: Born Again, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the new Avengers movies—are top of mind for many.
Amid all this anticipation, we have an intriguing rumor that could heighten your excitement even further. The rumored new series is expected to delve into the Black Panther universe. Although details are scarce, it seems this series will be a distinct part of that world, rather than a tie-in to another major production.
According to a tweet we’ll quote shortly, this rumor comes from DanielRPK, a reputable industry insider known for his accurate scoops. While this is still just a rumor and should be taken with caution, here’s what it reveals:

The news of Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become one of the most talked-about topics in entertainment. This explosive revelation has everyone buzzing about Downey and the MCU’s future, which now feels more exciting with fresh anticipation for fans. Marvel truly made a splash at San Diego Comic-Con with this announcement.
However, this wasn’t the original plan. Jonathan Majors, as Kang the Conqueror, was set to be the central villain leading up to Secret Wars, but following Majors’ domestic abuse scandal, Marvel had to pivot. Doctor Doom emerged as a strong alternative, though whether Downey’s casting in the role will pay off remains to be seen.
Regardless, fans are eagerly anticipating Downey’s MCU debut. While Marvel Studios hasn’t confirmed when that will happen, a reliable insider suggests that Doctor Doom may appear much sooner than expected.

After Rober Downey Jr.’s return, the future of the MCU seems bright once again, and the fans are genuinely excited about the future once more. And while not every upcoming project has been received with an equal amount of enthusiasm, some of the upcoming projects – such as Daredevil: Born Again, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the Avengers movies – are high on top of the fans’ watchlists.
But, while we are discussing planned projects here on Fiction Horizon, we also have a rumor for you that might get you even more excited for what is to come, as the rumored project is something that everyone – we believe – would like to see.

The announcement that Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is currently one of the hottest topics in entertainment news. Because of this explosive piece of information, everyone and their aunt are talking about Downey and the MCU’s future, which feels exciting once again because fans have something to look forward to. It cannot be denied that Marvel did a tremendous job at the San Diego Comic-Con.
But it wasn’t supposed to happen like that. Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror was supposed to be the main villain of these movies, culminating in Secret Wars, but due to Majors’ domestic abuse scandal, Marvel had to find an alternative. Doctor Doom certainly is a great alternative, but whether Downey’s casting was a good move… only time will tell.

Now that the hype around Deadpool & Wolverine has started to calm down, we had to return to the reality that the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is dire with one possible reprieve: the upcoming Fantastic Four movie.
Will a studio that gave us The Marvels, She-Hulk, and the third Ant-Man movie be able to pull itself out of the nose dive and do justice to one of the comic book world’s greatest teams? It’s more than possible!
Comicbook uncovered an interview from last year where The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman reveals where he will draw inspiration from when it comes to bringing the quartet of superheroes to life. In an interview with Inverse, Shakman explained that he went to the source: Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and the slightly more recent John Byrne stories.

There have been rumours for a while now about Franklin Richards factoring into The Fantastic Four: First Steps and we now have new intel on how the son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm Richards will be linked to the reboot's villain, Galactus.
According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH (meaning we're taking this with a hefty pinch of salt), the World Eater summons Marvel's First Family by sending the Silver Surfer to Earth, demanding they bring Franklin to him.
If they refuse, then he'll destroy their planet. As for what he wants with the boy, that isn't revealed, though we can look to the comics for clues.
So far, it appears Marvel Studios is pulling inspiration from "Earth X," a reality which saw Shalla-Bal become Silver Surfer, by creating a connection between Frankin and the world-eating baddie.
In that world, the incredibly powerful young mutant agreed to let the High Evolutionary transform...

Pedro Pascal is currently one of the most in-demand actors in the industry. From humble beginnings to his scene-stealing role in Game of Thrones, the actor has come a long way. He is now starring in some of the biggest films and TV projects including The Mandalorian, the Dcu, The Last of Us, and the upcoming Fantastic Four movie.

The actor recently promoted the latter at San Diego Comic-Con with his co-stars Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. At one point, Pascal was seen touching Kirby’s arm and they ultimately held hands after. Some saw the behavior as creepy and it received a significant amount of criticism. However, Pedro has been known to have on-stage anxiety and has found various ways to deal with it.

When one looks at some of the shows that have created waves over the last few years, the common factor in each of them is Pedro Pascal. With his latest Marvel gig, the celebrity has proved that he is a perfect fit in the big leagues. While it is easy to assume that the Chilean actor would be the epitome of confidence, Pascal has shown that he is as human as anyone else when he confessed to suffering from anxiety.

MCU Rumor Round-Up: Power Pack Series; Taron Egerton Role; Future Plans For The Thunderbolts, & More

The news cycle may have levelled out a little over the past couple of weeks following San Diego Comic-Con and D23, but we do have a round-up of some Marvel Cinematic Universe-related rumors currently circulating online to bring us into the weekend.
First up, Daniel Richtman is reporting that the Thunderbolts* team will be a part of both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The latter wouldn't exactly be a major surprise, but we weren't expecting to see Yelena, Bucky, "Bob" and the rest of the gang join the battle against Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom.
The Sdcc trailer for Thunderbolts* (we're still not sure what's going on with that asterisk) recently leaked online, and is surprisingly still up (check it out here).

The anticipation for the next season of Fortnite is through the roof, especially with the return of icon Marvel heroes and villains. The recent D23 expo highlights the significance of the live service game and Marvel Studios’ president Kevin Feige praises what the game developers have achieved in the previous season.
The gaming community was blown away by the Marvel collaboration in Chapter 2 Season 4 and has been begging the game developers to bring back the hype. Fans are pleased to discover that the following season will be heavily Marvel-themed and could tie into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

At last month's San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios shared a very early teaser trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. A predictably low-quality bootleg soon hit social media but at D23 this past weekend, those fortunate enough to be in Anaheim also got to see it.
A near-hd version has since leaked and we've combed through this first look at Marvel Studios' take on the First Family frame by frame. While the trailer is mostly comprised of test footage filmed before cameras officially started rolling, there's still a lot it tells us about the reboot.
From the team's origin story to a glimpse inside the alternate reality they call home and even a cameo which wasn't spotted after the Comic-Con leak, we're breaking down all the biggest moments and reveals for you right here.

Marvel Studios is currently riding high after the astronomical success of Deadpool and Wolverine. The movie's record-breaking box-office numbers are exactly the kind of win that the studio needed after a number of its recent titles had either underperformed or drawn a divisive response from viewers. But this movie has been the comeback audiences were hoping it would pull off.
There are a lot of exciting titles on the horizon too, which Marvel will no doubt ensure are as high quality as possible so that they can sustain this return to form they are in right now. We still have Agatha All Along to look forward to this year, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe adventures will return to the silver screen next year, with Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps all releasing in 2025.
There is also a fourth movie expected to release that year too.

Robert Downey Jr. last appeared as Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, in the 2019 movie Avengers: Endgame, which brought to an end his meteroic rise through the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The MCU is the most successful franchise in the history of cinema, and it doesn't happen without Downey Jr. in this role.
A lot of fans thought Downey Jr. was done with the MCU after this; after all, he'd made hundreds of millions of dollars by playing Iron Man, so what was there left for him to do? You also got the idea that he was tired of playing Tony Stark over a decade in the suit, which is fair. But Marvel managed to woo him back with an interesting offer: he's returning to the MCU not as Tony Stark but as Doctor Doom, a major villain who will likely make his debut in the upcoming movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to iron out some of the kinks that its perfect record of dominance experienced in 2023, it has been gifted with the monumental success of Deadpool and Wolverine. The film was already a resounding success from the moment it was released due to the insanely positive response it received; the fact that it reinforced that with a billion-dollar performance that crossed that esteemed mark just two weeks after its release was the icing on the cake. Marvel is back.
There is excitement in the air as the studio promotes its upcoming titles, including the likes of Agatha All Along, Captain America: Brave New World, Daredevil: Born Again, Thunderbolts*, Ironheart, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Disney/Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” has achieved its destiny, joining “Joker” as the second R-rated film to gross $1 billion at the global box office.
The film needed three weekends to reach that milestone, grossing a strong $54 million domestically this weekend to bring its total to $494 million in North America and an estimated $535 million overseas. With $1.02 billion grossed, Disney is the first studio ever to have back-to-back releases reach $1 billion, as Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” crossed that mark last month and will pass $1.6 billion in the coming week.
At this pace, exhibitor sources estimate that “Deadpool & Wolverine” is currently on pace to clear at least $1.4 billion in global grosses. That would be enough to clear the unadjusted theatrical runs of megahits like “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” “Black Panther,” “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and even “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

What Do We Know About season 4 of The Bear? More thank you may think. The FX on Hulu series debuted in 2022 and instantly became one of the most acclaimed television shows. With the third season dropping earlier this year, we have many questions and confidence that we know a lot of what is to come. So, let’s jump in and discuss what we know about the fourth season of The Bear.
Season Four will pick up from the Season Three cliffhanger finale.
After two seasons building towards the opening of the titular restaurant, the third season slowed things down to focus on the main characters dealing with the anxiety of first reviews for their establishment. Sydney (Ayo Edibiri) has an intriguing offer to leave the restaurant and branch out. Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) has yet to reply to his ex-wife’s wedding invitation.

(Photo by Jesse Grant/Getty Images for Disney) We’ll avoid giving any spoilers, but Marvel fans who have seen Deadpool & Wolverine know that the Fantastic Four movies from the mid-2000s are referenced in the film. Now that the Marvel properties belong to Disney, they’re giving the franchise another shot — this time, inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe (the previous Fantastic Four movies were all set outside the MCU). Vanessa Kirby has been cast as Sue Storm — aka The Invisible Woman — and, speaking at Comic-Con, said she’s excited to see the comic book once again come to life, and she thinks fans are going to be excited about it, too.

This weekend, Disney shared a lot of information at its D23 conference, giving fans their first looks at a lot of big new shows and movies coming down the pike. Mind you, while fans who were actually at the conference, got to see this stuff, the rest of us will have to go without until Disney releases something official...but that doesn't mean you can't find the relevant footage if you search the internet hard enough.
Let's focus here on all the new Marvel things coming up. Disney has scored a monster hit with Deadpool & Wolverine, which is close to crossing the billion-dollar mark at the box office. For the first time in a while, there's a lot of hype about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Can Disney keep that up? You be the judge.

We may have been treated to some official footage from The Fantastic Four: First Steps yesterday evening (albeit through unofficial means), but the latest set footage - once again taken from afar - is also generating a fair bit of buzz among fans.
While we'd assumed Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm was being filmed with the young Franklin Richards in her arms after taking a fall, it instead appears they're lying in bed.
That raises several questions, including why the scene would be shot in the open. Perhaps the Invisible Woman is comforting the child by using her force field powers to float around outside? That's one way to settle a baby!
It's tough to say from this distance but we're sure the video will generate even more fan theories...
