These days, it’s easier to compile a list of stars not starring in Marvel productions, as opposed to those who are. It’s a franchise that everyone in Hollywood wants to be a part of it. And Gosling is no exception. 

The Gray Man actor has expressed interest in joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the role of Ghost Rider. The character has previously been played on screen by Nicolas Cage in 2007’s Ghost Rider and its sequel Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance five years later. According to the story, Ghost Rider is a stunt motorcyclist called Johnny Blaze who makes a deal with the devil to save his father’s life. The result is that he transforms into a flaming being that rides a fiery motorbike and is able to project hellfire from his body. 

It was thought that Gosling may be starring as the lead in the upcoming Nova project that was announced in March, but the 41-year-old actor denied such. He did confess, however, that he would be keen to play Ghost Rider. 

When this was told to the President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, his response was more than positive. Feige referred to the Oscar nominee as “unbelievable” and “amazing” and said he’d love to find a place for him in the MCU.

That is the word from James Gunn who has confirmed that the upcoming third chapter of Guardians of the Galaxy will be its last. 

The franchise first hit screens in 2014, becoming the 10^th film in the MCU. Since then, the team comprised of Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Gamora, and Drax the Destroyer has also appeared in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Thor: Love and Thunder. 

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 grossed more than $863 million at the global box office in 2017, with Vol. 3 due out next year. Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillian, and Sean Gunn set to reprise their roles. Will Poulter has also joined the cast. 

As the official trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 premiered at San Diego Comic-Con, director James Gunn said, “This is the end of that story. I’m sorry. Some stories have an end. It doesn’t mean everybody dies.”

The filmmaker was previously dismissed by Disney in 2018 after controversial old tweets emerged, but was reinstated following a massive fan campaign and criticism from several Hollywood stars. 

“For a while I wasn’t going to do this movie. Then I came back,” Gunn said. “And the reason I knew I needed to come back was to tell this story and, in some ways in particular, I have a special closeness to the character of Rocket and I knew I needed to finish to tell his story.”

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 is out on May 5, 2023.

With the Multiverse that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it can be hard to keep track of what’s happening. Numerous characters have their own standalone films while also featuring in others. The movies are not always released chronologically, meaning a character may be alive in one flick, but deceased in another. In the famous words of Doctor Strange: “The Multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little.”

We are currently amidst Phase 4 of the MCU. 2008’s Iron Man is what kicked off Marvel’s Infinity Saga, which concluded with Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019. Phase 4 began with Black Widow in 2021 and will run until Black Panther: Wakanda Forever debuts later this year.

Phases 4 to 6 up the Multiverse Saga and President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, gave an idea of what to expect whilst at San Diego Comic-Con.  

The Avengers will return, although the Russo Brothers won’t. The siblings directed four Marvel movies, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Feige confirmed, however, that they will not be helming the forthcoming Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. This is despite the pair previously expressing interest in making the latter. 

Some films to look forward to in the upcoming Fifth Phase are Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania; Secret Invasion; and Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3.

Following the massive success of the Marvel flick, which earned $1.3 billion at the global box office and became the first-ever superhero film nominated for an Academy Award, it was only natural that a sequel would follow. Ryan Coogler again assumed the director’s chair, with many stars expected to reprise their roles.

But with the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever just months away, it has been confirmed that it won’t feature Kaluuya. 

The 33-year-old actor played W’Kabi—the head of security for the Border Tribe and best friend of King T’Challa. While Kaluuya was asked to return, schedule conflicts caused by his appearance in the upcoming horror film by Jordan Peele, Nope, prevented him from doing so. 

The Oscar winner is, of course, not the only notable cast member who will be missing when Wakanda returns to the big screen. Chadwick Boseman, who played the titular character, unexpectedly passed away from colon cancer in 2020, with producers choosing not to re-cast the role of T’Challa out of respect. Instead, the sequel will focus on Princess Shuri, played by Letitia Wright. 

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is scheduled for release on November 11.

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

Thompson first appeared in Thor: Ragnarok as the wild and badass Valkyrie. She recently appeared in Avengers: Endgame and is due to return in Thor: Love And Thunder.

Speaking with Variety, Thompson revealed that the future of MCU is looking more inclusive. She says that phase four is going to focus on representing people from different minorities.

“I think in this next phase of Marvel, we’re really talking about what representation looks like in those spaces,” she said.

“Because the truth is these movies travel globally in such huge ways, and if you can represent people that are of color, if you can represent people with disabilities, if you can represent the LGBTQIA community inside of these films, it’s a pretty big deal.”

She added: “There’s millions and millions of people, particularly young people, that show up to the cinema. And I think if you can show them something that looks like them, they feel valued. Particularly inside of these narratives of the comic books, that’s what it’s all about. It’s that our differences make us special.”

In the last few years, Marvel has introduced multiple female superheroes to the franchise. Black Panther was a global success and featured a near entirely black cast. In 2021, Anthony Mackie will be replacing Chris Evans as Captain America. He will be the first black man to take on the role.

The first movie in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe features Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow. 

Per the official description, in the film, Romanoff confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.

Despite several changes in film’s premieres due to the Coronavirus, the trailer confirms that Marvel is still going ahead with a May 1 domestic release.

In case you have been living under a rock, Spider-Man recently left MCU after the superhero movie giants were unable to come to an agreement with Sony, who own the rights to Spider-Man. Tom Holland’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man was subsequently snatched away from the Avengers and plans for a “Far From Home” sequel were put on hold.

Now, Sony Pictures Entertainment has announced that Tom Holland will be reprising his role as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This means that a third movie is happening and that he will be involved in Phase 4.

“I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it,” Feige said in a statement.

“Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”

Hooray!
