News surfaced last month that Deadpool might make an appearance in “Avengers: Doomsday,” yet he won’t be part of Earth’s strongest team. During a conversation with EW at the Toronto Film Festival for the premiere of the documentary “John Candy: I Like Me,” which he produced, the actor portraying Wade Wilson was asked if “Doomsday” would incorporate Deadpool-series trademark Easter eggs related to John Candy. Here’s his humorous response concerning this possibility, as well as whether he can verify his involvement in the upcoming fifth “Avengers” movie.

In the upcoming film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, produced by Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, Mark Ruffalo will once again embody both Bruce Banner (the Hulk). Joining him on set is Tom Holland, portraying Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and Jon Bernthal who has starred as the Punisher in the MCU.

As a fervent admirer, I’m thrilled to share that my cherished DC Universe, under the dynamic leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran, sprang to life in December 2024 with the highly-anticipated animated series, Creature Commandos.

More recently, Eric M. Esquivel, a comic book author who’s previously worked on Superman stories, disclosed that he and Dan Harmon (known for creating shows like Community, Rick and Morty, etc.) proposed a standalone film featuring Lex Luthor to Warner Bros. back in 2018.

The consulting company, known for its focus on storytelling and inclusivity, was previously linked to the “Wolverine” video game, initially an eagerly awaited project from Insomniac Games for the PlayStation 5. However, it’s unclear if they remained involved throughout the entire production phase.

As a dedicated fan, I must admit that it’s been an exciting year for Christina Haack, what with her television series generating endless conversation among viewers. Yet, the rollercoaster of emotions this year has been quite a ride for her. There have been some high points, but also some challenging times, particularly during her tumultuous divorce from Josh Hall. This breakup, which unfolded during the filming of The Flip Off alongside Heather Rae and Tarek El Moussa in 2024, was undoubtedly one of those low moments.

Following the Clash in Paris event yielded fewer returns than anticipated, suggesting at least two big-name wrestlers are poised to appear on SmackDown. Given this could potentially be John Cena’s last Friday night in professional wrestling, we’re looking at what promises to be a highly enjoyable evening.

The information available on Spider-Man: Brand New Day is quite scarce, but fans who have been following Marvel movies for years are excited about the appearance of Frank Castle/The Punisher. A daring speculation by scooper MTTSH (via SuperheroHype) hints at an intriguing possibility in the upcoming movie, suggesting:

Brand New Day details being few and far between, fans who’ve kept up with Marvel movies are overjoyed about The Punisher/Frank Castle’s appearance. A bold forecast by MTTSH (via SuperheroHype) points towards a striking revelation in the blockbuster, proposing:

In a recent discussion on Threads, someone asked if Gunn would be okay with DC Comics creating comics about Clark Kent’s origin within the DC Universe. Gunn clarified that due to the complexity of maintaining consistency across various films and television series, the team at DC Studios views anything beyond filmed media as non-canon.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has decided not to proceed with the live-action version of the animated classic, The Aristocats. This is the sixth such adaptation that has been either cancelled or put on hold recently. The film was slated to be directed by multi-talented musician and filmmaker Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, who was also planning the music for this project, with a script from Will Gluck and Keith Bunin.
