Before becoming a household name after being cast as Steve Rodgers in Captain America: The First Avenger, Evans had a chance to play another Marvel superhero. He took on the role of Johnny Storm/Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies, but this franchise failed to become a huge hit with the critics and the audience.

Evans recently told MTV News that he would love to play Human Torch again and truly do this character justice, but also revealed that no one ever approached him with this idea.

“That would actually be an easier sell to me than coming back as Cap… Cap is so precious to me. And you know, I almost don’t wanna disrupt what a beautiful experience that was. But Johnny Storm, I feel like he didn’t really get his day. That was before Marvel really found its footing,” he explained.

Evans is currently busy promoting Pixar’s Toy Story spin-off Lightyear, and we’ll soon get to see him in the Russo brothers’ Netflix movie The Gray Man alongside Ryan Gosling and Ana de Armas.

According to Deadline, early development is underway on a film about the Thunderbolts.

Not to be confused with the Thunderbirds or the Thundercats (or any weather-related entity, for that matter), the Thunderbolts first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1997. Although originally presented as a team of super-powered figures who became heroes to help protect the world after the Avengers were declared dead, it was later revealed that they were, in fact, the Masters of Evil in disguise. Dun dun dun.

Some of these anti-heroes have already shown up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These include Belova, played by Florence Pugh in Black Widow and Hawkeye; Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost from Ant-Man and the Wasp; Abomination from The Incredible Hulk, brought to life by Tim Roth; Taskmaster who Olga Kurylenko portrayed in Black Widow.

In the comics, Baron Helmut Zero is the leader of the supervillain group. Known as one of Captain America’s adversaries, he is played by The Alienist actor, Daniel Brühl, in the MCU.

No casting information for the Thunderbolts film has been revealed as yet, but Paper Towns director, Jake Schreier, is expected to helm the project. Black Widow writer, Eric Pearson, will pen the screenplay.

According to Matt Donnelly from Variety, the “Watermelon Sugar” singer has been cast in The Eternals which will officially be released next month. 

Styles is reportedly playing Eros, the brother of Josh Brolin’s character Thanos, who has been described as carefree and womanizing. This is the Grammy Award winner’s biggest on-screen role, having previously starred in Dunkirk from Christopher Nolan. 

“I started acting when I was younger in school. I’ve always liked it, and have always been a massive fan of movies,” Harry previously said.

As part of The Eternals, the former One Direction member joins a formidable cast of Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumal Nanjiani, Salma Hayek, Kit Harington, and Angelina Jolie. 

“We will have a very big effect on the future of the MCU with what happens in this film,” stated director Chloé Zhao. 

The Eternals is scheduled for release on November 5^th

The new trailer offers the first look at the star-studded ensemble cast of Eternals, which features Richard Madden as Ikaris, Gemma Chan as Sersi, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Angelina Jolie as Thena, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, among others.

Hayek’s off-screen voiceover sets the mood for the entire trailer: “We have watched and guided. We have helped them progress and seen them accomplish wonders. Throughout the years we have never interfered, until now.”

If you’re wondering how and why Eternals came together after all this time, the official synopsis explains they’re a group of immortal heroes forced to reunite to protect humanity from their evil counterparts, the Deviants, following the events of Avengers: Endgame.

Eternals was directed by Chloé Zhao, who recently made history as the first woman of color to win an Oscar for best director with Nomadland. This superhero epic is set to hit the theaters on November 5th, as the third film from MCU’s Phase Four after Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

According to the reports, the show is in very early stages of production and was not even formally ordered. Kyle Bradstreet is set to be the show’s writer and executive producer. He is known for his work on Mr. Robot.

Although it is not Jackson’s first time on television, it will surely be his most prominent role. He appeared as Nick Fury in two episodes of MCU’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He also appeared in eight episodes of The Boondocks and starred in an anime miniseries called Afro Samurai as well as in the TV movie Afro Samurai: Resurrection. 

The new show joins an increasingly long list of Marvel shows in different stages of development for Disney+. Later this year, the service will release WandaVision while The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was delayed to 2021. Other shows on the list include Loki, What If…?, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon-Knight.

As the trailer begins, we see the two characters, played by Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, living a perfect ’50s suburban life as a traditional couple, filmed in black and white. As the trailer progresses this reality starts to unveil.

Starting with a strange meeting with their neighbors, the world around them begins to change. The events of Avengers: Endgame are mentioned—along with the fact that Vision is supposed to be dead. The trailer leaves the viewers wondering what brought on this Pleasantville version of life and what will happen to the couple next.

The exact release date of WandaVision is yet to be confirmed as the trailer does not mention it and ends with a simple “coming soon”. WandaVision will consist of 6 episodes which will be streamed on Disney+.  Jac Shaeffer is serving as the series’ showrunner.

As Scarlet Witch is due to play a big role in the upcoming Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, we can expect the series’ story will lead us towards the movie’s.

Variety reports that Disney is considering putting off the movie’s release once more due to the ongoing health crisis. As movie theaters are reopening, recent releases have shown relatively weak performances. The much anticipated Tenet, for example, made an underwhelming $29.5 million on its domestic run so far. This causes studios to rethink anticipated blockbuster releases, with Wonder Woman 1984 recently delayed to Christmas.

As Black Widow represents a big investment by Disney, it is unlikely that the studio would want to risk an opening during the November slot. Mulan was released on Disney+ instead of getting a theatrical release and now Pixar’s Soul may get the same treatment. It doesn’t seem, however, that Black Widow will go this way. This may have a ripple effect that will push back future MCU movies’ releases.

Angela Bassett who plays Queen Ramonda in the Marvel action flick spills a Black Panther sequel spoiler. 

Bassett stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she was first asked by the host how production on Black Panther 2 was going.

“[It’s] going along. Coming along,” she told Jimmy. “Amazing, absolutely.”

But Jimmy didn’t stop there. He asked the 61-year-old actress, “You were telling me backstage that they decided to change the costume of Black Panther?” Going along with the joke, Angela quipped, “Jimmy, I was telling you that in confidence. You are now—you did not!” 

Black Panther 2 is one of the highly anticipated films of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4. It is set to hit theaters on May 6, 2022.

The Spider-Man (2002) director is in talks to take over as director in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for Marvel. 

Raimi is set to take over the gig following Scott Derrickson’s departure from the project. Derrickson exited the project due to creative differences, but he remains as an executive producer.

The sequel, which was announced at San Diego Comic-Con last summer, was described by the then director as “the first scary MCU film.” 

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is scheduled for release on May 7, 2021.

Variety was first to report the news.

However, FandomWire reports that Disney is making sure to remove all mentions of mutants from the movie in order to disconnect it from the veteran franchise. The movie will probably be a standalone – not an X-Men movie and not connected to the MCU. According to the report, this movie is due not only to the state FOX had left the franchise in following the bomb that Dark Phoenix was, but also to allow a proper introduction of the characters into the MCU.

It is still unknown what movie we can expect in April. Disney will surely have to change a lot of it in order to meet their goal – including the title, character names, and even the identity of the antagonist who is said to be a classic X-Men villain, Mr. Sinister.
