The MCU’s Original Avengers’ Confirmed 2026 Return Is Perfect For Doomsday

For a brief time, Avengers: Endgame, the biggest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, was even the most-watched film ever. That’s why Marvel’s next two Avengers movies, which will conclude the Multiverse Saga, are a major event. These films will show us Captain America’s new team of Avengers and will also feature the former Thunderbolts, who are now part of the Avengers. Plus, the original Avengers team will be back in theaters in 2026.

Casting Kratos for Amazon’s God of War TV Show: 5 Actors Who’d Nail the Part, Ranked

The upcoming God of War TV show largely depends on finding the right actor to play Kratos. While Christopher Judge, who voiced and performed the character in the games, is a fan favorite and wants the role, making a live-action TV series presents challenges. Judge has dealt with significant health issues, including back and hip surgeries that previously impacted the game God of War Ragnarök. A long-running TV show demands a lot physically, with extensive stunt work, which is different from the controlled motion capture process used in games. Therefore, Amazon is probably looking for an actor who can convincingly portray Kratos’ strength and emotional complexity over multiple seasons.

The Last of Us Director to Announce New Game This Week

Several talented individuals were instrumental in Naughty Dog’s success, notably Neil Druckmann, who started as an intern and eventually became studio head. Bruce Straley also rose through the ranks, ultimately co-directing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Druckmann then led the development of what would become Naughty Dog’s most iconic game, collaborating with Straley to make it a reality. Together, they served as game directors on The Last of Us and Uncharted 4. However, after Uncharted 4’s release, Straley decided to leave the company, feeling burnt out and uncertain about his future in gaming.

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Gets Record-Low MCU Streaming Debut on Disney+

Okay, so the numbers are in for the week of November 3rd to 9th, 2025, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps landed at number ten with 556 million minutes viewed – which translates to about 4.9 million people tuning in, according to TV Fandom Lounge. While it was the third most-watched movie that week, behind KPop: Demon Hunters and a surprisingly popular Frankenstein, it’s a pretty soft launch for the MCU. Honestly, the first five days of streaming were lower than even The Marvels – remember that one, it didn’t do so well in theaters? – and definitely behind the numbers for this year’s Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts. It’s a bit concerning, to be honest, as it suggests this new take on the Fantastic Four isn’t grabbing audiences quite like other MCU premieres.
