Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man shepherded the MCU in its first three phases, leading the Avengers and being one of the leading heroes that catapulted the franchise to its peak. His journey from an arrogant and flamboyant billionaire to a selfless hero who sacrifices his life for the greater good has made him the most iconic character in the franchise.

Following Jonathan Major’s debacle and Marvel Studios firing him as MCU’s big bad Kang, there has been huge speculation regarding the next big bad. However, a new rumor indicates that the superhero brand already had a contingency plan, and that is bringing Doctor Doom to the MCU.

In 2016, I attended a conversation between filmmaker Joss Whedon and actor Mark Ruffalo, who Whedon recruited to star in "The Avengers" as Bruce Banner/The Hulk. Hosted by the Tribeca Film Festival, this was the same one where Whedon said "Avengers: Age of Ultron" made him feel like "a miserable failure."
During the talk, Whedon confessed how he feels that he lacks the eye of a great director. This moment of vulnerability by Whedon stuck out to me because it echoed criticism of his work I'd absorbed online as a budding cinephile. These critics would argue that Whedon's directing never matured past middling TV-level craft, as seen on "Buffy The Vampire Slayer." At the time, I was one of the Whedon faithful and stubbornly refused to see it, but my mind has been cleared now.

‘WandaVision,’ a hit Marvel series centering on Wanda Maximoff and the aftermath of her loss, was praised for its creative approach to storytelling and exploration of the character’s personalities and emotions. The show was also successful enough to warrant two additional spinoffs, ‘Agatha,’ which is set to arrive on Disney+ later this year, and ‘Vision Quest,’ show with as-of-yet uncertain release date.
Last year, the WGA Directory listed ‘Vision Quest’ as reportedly arriving during the 2024-2025 TV season. Plenty of fans were excited about the premise, but the SAG-AFTRA strike delayed and altogether halted numerous projects, some of them have even been canceled for good. Now industry inside MyTimeToShineHello has some news for the fans, according to most recent rumors ‘Vision Quest’ should presumably be released as early as 2026.

When the character Riri Williams (played by Dominique Thorne) made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut back in 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the idea was that we’d be seeing the character again the following year in her own Disney+ show Ironheart… but 2023 came and went without Ironheart, and the show still doesn’t have an official premiere date. This has caused some fans to speculate that Marvel and Disney+ might have decided to scrap Ironheart, along with the series Wonder Man, which had Yahya Abdul-Mateen II taking on the role of the title character, who is also known as Simon Williams and hasn’t been seen in the MCU yet. But no, Ironheart and Wonder Man are not being scrapped, and in a new interview with Agents of Fandom, Marvel Studios’ Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation Brad Winderbaum described the shows as spectacular, amazing, and different.

Many iconic characters have appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since the release of Iron Man back in 2008. However, not many characters have been able to make as huge an impact on the franchise as Tony Stark has.

Even though he is considered one of the most intelligent characters in the Marvel Universe, it seems like Stark was allegedly too lazy to come up with a creative full form for Jarvis.
Tony Stark gave the most ridiculous full form to Jarvis
Despite being one of the most intelligent characters in multiple universes, Tony Stark was just too lazy to give a creative name to one of its most helpful AI, Jarvis. According to Marvel, Jarvis stands for ‘Just a Rather Very Intelligent System‘ which does not seem like much of a cool acronym for an AI system of its magnificent abilities.

Ultron is one of the most nefarious and tricky foes the Avengers have had to deal with in the pages of Marvel Comics. However, the character was underutilized in his big-screen debut in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. The film’s climax sees the villainous AI disintegrated, leaving little room for Ultron’s return in future MCU projects.

Well, many have urged that characters such as Iron Man, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and Vision need to have their character in the movie since they did not have a proper send-off, though perfectly written.

Wanda’s journey in the MCU is truly tragic. After losing everything in the Novi Grad Bombings, she and her brother Pietro sought power for revenge against Tony Stark. Pietro sacrificed himself battling Ultron, leaving Wanda to find solace in her love for Vision and her fight against Thanos. Despite her losses—Vision, her children, and her sanity—she emerged as the formidable Scarlet Witch.
Even in her darkest moments, Wanda showed heroism by destroying the Darkhold and seemingly sacrificing herself. However, rumors suggest she may return. According to reliable sources like MyTimeToShineHello, there’s talk of a standalone Scarlet Witch movie, possibly between ‘Avengers 5’ and ‘Secret Wars,’ or after ‘Secret Wars’ hits theaters. Fans hold onto hope that one of the mightiest Avengers isn’t gone for good.

Wanda’s story in the MCU is one of the most heartbreaking. She lost everything in the Novi Grad Bombings, and then, along with her brother Pietro, she turned to desperate means to secure some kind of power to get their vengeance on Tony Stark.
Pietro was lost when the twins turned on Ultron in self-sacrifice, but Wanda continued on, fell in love with Vision, and took a stand against Thanos. By the end of her career in the MCU, she would lose Vision, her imaginary children, and ultimately her own sanity, but she would gain something far more powerful: the powers of Scarlet Witch.
Still even as a villain Wanda did one thing right: she collapsed the Darkhold Castle on Wundagore Mountain on top of herself, destroying every single copy of Darkhold in existence, and the collapse of the castle seemingly led to her death. While her death was...

The last time fans saw Bettany's Marvel character was in 2021's WandaVision. In that project, he portrayed multiple versions of the character.
Despite this, there has been no official word from Marvel about the return of any of the three versions, which may surprise fans given the open storyline of White Vision in particular.

In Jon Favreau's 2008 film "Iron Man," the title hero (Robert Downey Jr.) was assisted in his high-tech superhero lab by an artificially intelligent butler-like presence named J.A.R.V.I.S. Iron Man's digital butler not only wrangled the hero's complicated engineering projects, but also controlled the even-higher-tech devices in his lab. When Iron Man went out on patrol, J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice could be heard inside his helmet. J.A.R.V.I.S. was voiced by Paul Bettany. As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continued to grow, so too did Iron Man's computerized friend. Eventually, J.A.R.V.I.S. was shunted into an indestructible android body and renamed Vision (also Bettany).

Wanda’s journey in the MCU is profoundly poignant. Amidst the devastating Novi Grad Bombings, she endured loss and, alongside her brother Pietro, resorted to desperate measures to acquire power for retribution against Tony Stark. Pietro sacrificed himself when they turned against Ultron, leaving Wanda to navigate a path of love with Vision and defiance against Thanos.
Her MCU tenure saw the wrenching loss of Vision, her imagined children, and ultimately her sanity. Yet, she gained a potent compensation—the formidable powers of Scarlet Witch. Before her departure, Wanda executed a crucial act: she obliterated the Darkhold Castle on Wundagore Mountain, eliminating every copy of the Darkhold. The castle’s collapse seemingly claimed her life, as affirmed in the 2023 MCU timeline book. However, fans, fueled by hope, challenge the notion that one of the mightiest Avengers succumbed to mere rubble.

Have you been wondering about "Wonder Man"? You're in good company. Given the recent news that Marvel is slowing its roll on releasing new TV shows and revamping its television production process to, well, make more sense, the future of most MCU shows is a bit nebulous. It's not that these shows won't happen, but between SAG-AFTRA's ongoing fight for fair pay and the entertainment industry's general post-pandemic belt-tightening, any show that's not already on the release schedule feels a little bit up in the air.
Thankfully, one of the most intriguing upcoming Marvel shows, "Wonder Man," still seems to be in the works as of publication time. With a crowded slate of shows on the horizon, including "Hawkeye" spinoff "Echo," "WandaVision" spinoff "Agatha: Darkhold Diaries", Riri Williams-led series "Ironheart," and reboot "Daredevil: Born Again," it's hard to remember what phase of the MCU we're even in anymore, nonetheless what's releasing next.

This article contains spoilers for the ‘Secret Invasion’ series!
The latest series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ‘Secret Invasion,’ concluded this week after six episodes. The episode finished with G’iah becoming one of the most powerful MCU characters thanks to the Harvest and Gravik’s machine that transformed into a Super Skrull. She defeated Gravik and freed all his human prisoners, including Colonel James Rhodes.
One of the plot twists the series provided was that James Rhodes had been Skrull all along, but the series didn’t reveal when was the real Rhodes kidnapped by Skrulls and replaced with one of their own. We found out in the series that the Skrulls have been present on Earth since 1995, and that’s a pretty long period when the real Rhodes could’ve been kidnapped.

In the mid 2000’s, comic book films were largely becoming accepted as massive box office draws that had the potential to make or break an actor’s career. Ben Affleck was trying to distance himself from his role as Matt Murdock in the critically panned Daredevil, Tobey Maguire was hanging up his Spidey-suit for (seemingly forever) and even Chris Evans was scarred from his role as Johnny Storm in the disappointing Fantastic Four series. And before we saw Affleck dawn the mantle of the world’s greatest detective, before Tobey swung his way back into the spotlight, and before Evans would secure his role as one of the most iconic superheroes of all time- Marvel was Seriously in need of some movie maintenance.

Walking out of Louis Letterier's "Fast X," you may find yourself reminded of the sensation you felt leaving Denis Villeneuve's "Dune," when it became abundantly clear that, despite that film's title, only half of the story was being told. Fans knew long in advance that both stories would be split across multiple films, but it's one thing to read about that beforehand and another to viscerally experience it when the credits begin to roll.
Still, even though the Fast and Furious movies frequently flout the laws of physics in a way some may argue borders on science fiction, I'd argue "Fast X" actually shares much more DNA with Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Infinity War" than it does with Villeneuve's epic. "Infinity War" and "Fast X" were both billed as the first of a two-part conclusion (or is "Fast X" now the first of a three-part conclusion?...

Superheroes love their pets. Shortly after Superman debuted the genre in 1938, he and his other tights and capes friends gained their own pet sidekicks, including Beppo the Super-Monkey, Ace the Bat-hound, and Comet the Super-Horse. Although Marvel’s hipper approach in the early 60s precluded pet sidekicks as much as it did teen sidekicks, super-powered animals soon made their way onto Earth 616, including the Inhumans’ transporter Lockjaw, and Brightwind, the Asgardian pegasus of New Mutant Mirage.
While some of these creatures have made their way into live-action, the MCU has been a bit slower to debut super-powered animals, at least as pet sidekicks. As Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 shows, animals with powers deserve their own character arcs, even if it’s as small as Cosmo getting mad at being called a bad dog. These animals aren’t really pets as much as they are members of the team!
Superheroes love their pets. Shortly after Superman debuted the genre in 1938, he and his other tights and capes friends gained their own pet sidekicks, including Beppo the Super-Monkey, Ace the Bat-hound, and Comet the Super-Horse. Although Marvel’s hipper approach in the early 60s precluded pet sidekicks as much as it did teen sidekicks, super-powered animals soon made their way onto Earth 616, including the Inhumans’ transporter Lockjaw, and Brightwind, the Asgardian pegasus of New Mutant Mirage.

The Disney+ TV show WandaVision packs plenty of Easter eggs in its fake TV commercials. Each one of these has a specific motif and meaning behind it. The show revolves around the magically manipulated relationship between Wanda and the android, Vision, in a seeming sitcom universe, Westview. However, the truth is so much darker than expected. It is revealed that Westview’s reality is being controlled by The Scarlet Witch, and while she does an excellent job of hiding her demons, the TV commercials seen during the episodes point out something buried deep in her mind. The brief minute-long commercials interrupt reality...

Animation is a medium of movement. Shapes, lines, light, and colors come to life. Filmmakers constantly find new ways to move those elements on-screen in the hopes they will move you. The technology has evolved exponentially since "Humorous Phases of Faces," the first publicly known animation, debuted in 1906. Innovations have transformed how animators draw, paint, photograph, render, and edit their films. New generations have transformed how animators utilize the medium to express themselves.
Animation is the freest form of expression in cinema. Live-action filmmakers are limited by their technology, while animators can draw anything that comes to mind. That freedom allows filmmakers to explore difficult subjects while keeping them approachable and accessible to children and adults. They can be about the nearing of death, fear of loneliness, overcoming depression, violent revolution, and the creation of Earth. We put together a list of 14 movies that used innovative styles and technology to...

It’s no secret that the MCU has been one of the largest franchises of the past 15 years, but Marvel has been producing content lately on a scale that even they couldn’t have matched just a few years ago. The first three phases of the MCU contained 23 projects over 11 years – phase 4 alone had 17 projects that spanned barely two years, with phase 5 and phase 6 scheduled to have just as many.
The MCU has made it perfectly clear that they won’t stop mass-producing content anytime soon, nor should they since fans still flock to theaters to watch their movies and eagerly await every new show that arrives on Disney+. But with the different projects the MCU has begun to incorporate into their vast universe, the screen has gotten a little crowded, and audiences are finding it harder and harder to find the time to sit through 8-9 movies/shows a year.

Wakanda Forever has now closed the book on Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the conclusion of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law brought an end to the TV show aspect. While the past few years of Marvel have certainly been overstuffed, the Disney+ shows have acted as an interesting development to this expanded superhero narrative.
Doing TV in the MCU is nothing new. They gave us seven seasons of Agents of Shield, 164 episodes of the Netflix shows, a season of Inhumans that nobody watched, and various other projects. It’s just that there was rarely much of a connection to the movies in any major way. Agents of Shield was lucky enough to get Samuel L. Jackson for five minutes, but otherwise had to rely on appearances by Lady Sif and Powers Boothe’s character from Avengers. The Netflix shows took place in the MCU,...

This post contains spoilers for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Where are the Avengers? For fans of shared universe stories, that question can get very annoying very fast. It makes sense for those new to the concept to wonder about the whereabouts of other characters, but for long-term fans, the answer is simple: someplace else.
Too much worrying about what Thor is doing while Doctor Strange fights Scarlet Witch or why Ant-Man never helped Shang-Chi stop the bus rampaging through San Francisco distracts from the main hero’s story. Just enjoy Doctor Strange and Spidey and let other heroes worry about themselves.
That said, it does make sense for characters to cross paths at certain events, such as the funeral for Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame, attended by all major heroes, including T’Challa. As impressive as that scene certainly was, it has nothing on the funeral scene from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

We all know it was Agatha all along behind the scenes of the Marvel series "WandaVision." That's true, even though Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) proved herself to be quite a formidable force in the little town she and Vision (Paul Bettany) settled in. It was all her warping of reality through her grief that changed things, not that Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) helped matters. A witch who has been in the magic game for centuries, she couldn't stand that Wanda was so good at it. At the end of the series, Wanda turns Agatha into what she pretended to be through each episode; a suburban nosey neighbor.
As we know, though, Kathryn Hahn is far too awesome for that to be the end, and we're getting a Disney+ spin-off series centered around her. That show, which was originally called "House of Harkness," is now "Agatha: Coven of Chaos," and the casting news...

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo, the cast of Marvel’s Agatha: Coven of Chaos, has grown by two! The highly-anticipated WandaVision spinoff series will conjure Ali Ahn and Maria Dizzia for the Disney+ presentation starring Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness.
The news that Ahn and Dizzia are joining the series comes hot off the umbra-black heels of Aubrey Plaza and Joe Locke (Heartstopper) signing onto the spinoff, with Plaza believed to be playing a villain. Morgan Le Fay, anyone? Enchantress? Eh? Ahn and Dizzia’s roles are being kept under wraps, though with Marvel tapping into Marvel‘s magical side, they could be anyone.
Kathryn Hahn reprises her WandaVision role of Agatha Harkness for the new series, with Emma Caufield again playing WandaVision’s Dottie too. Who Locke will play remains a mystery, though Marvel fans speculate Locke will star as an aged-up version of Wanda and Vision’s son, Billy, also known as Wiccan.

For nearly 15 years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been thriving on the big screen. In that time, True Believers have seen some of the biggest superheroes of all time like Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor star in their own incredible movies. As the years went on, Marvel Studios has been able to bring a few deeper cuts from your local comic shop to the mainstream, like Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Shang-Chi, and the Guardians of the Galaxy. And now that Disney+ has been such a huge success for Kevin Feige and company, the floodgates are wide open to explore even more as shows like "WandaVision," "Ms. Marvel," and "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law" make a splash on the streaming service.

Marvel fans think they know who Heartstopper star Joe Locke will play in the WandaVision spin-off.

Marvel Studios cast a spell over Heartstopper fans on Tuesday by casting Joe Locke in the upcoming Disney+ series Agatha: Coven of Chaos. Locke rose to popularity by playing the adorable Charlie Spring in Heartstopper, a gay teenager who falls in love with his hunky classmate Nick Nelson (Kit Connor). Locke delivers a superb performance in the Netflix drama based on the comic series by Alice Oseman, and now he’s set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Kathryn Hahn reprises her WandaVision role of Agatha Harkness for the new series, with Emma Caufield again playing WandaVision‘s Dottie too. Who Locke will play remains a mystery, though Marvel fans speculate Locke will star as an aged-up version of Wanda and Vision’s son, Billy, also known as Wiccan. While this remains unconfirmed, introducing Wiccan would tie Agatha: Coven of Chaos to the events of WandaVision and introduce another critical member of the Young Avengers.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to grow, particularly its young universe. We're seeing the good guys slowly build their young cast, leading up to the inevitable formation of the Young Avengers, with young heroes taking up the mantles of aging or dead Avengers. Now, it is time to fill in the young villain side, or at least fill the young side of the villains' world.
This is to say that we're starting to get casting news for the villain-centric "WandaVision" spinoff "Agatha: Coven of Chaos," which was announced last year and is set to bring back Kathryn Hahn as the show-stopping witch Agatha Harkness — of "Agatha All Along" and the death of Sparky fame — for an unspecified story being kept very much under wraps.

Wonder Man is one of Marvel’s oldest characters, first introduced in 1964 in the pages of Avengers No. 9. He was initially a villain and only appeared sporadically in the early Marvel Age, but was reconceived as a hero (and Avenger) in the late 1970s.

Marvel Studios is going back to where its TV journey began and will continue the story of WandaVision, this time giving Vision his own spinoff.
In the new series, called Vision Quest, Paul Bettany will once again star as the character he first played in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), with WandaVision head writer Jac Schaeffer leading the writer’s room. Deadline first reported the news of Schaeffer’s involvement.
Bettany is a longtime Marvel vet who has been with the MCU since its first film, 2008’s Iron Man, in which he voiced Tony Stark’s A.I., Jarvis. He helped lead Marvel Studios into the Disney+ era with WandaVision, which earned him an Emmy nomination and launched a separate spinoff, House of Harkness, which stars Kathryn Hahn.

“Vision Quest,” a new Marvel Studios series focusing on Paul Bettany’s title android superhero character, is in the works at Disney+, TheWrap has learned. The series, along with “Agatha: House of Harkness,” marks the second spinoff show based on the popular “WandaVision.”
The show is set to open a writers room next week, and will focus on Vision’s attempts to regain his memory and humanity. The character made his last appearance in the eponymous “WandaVision,” which was set after his death in “Avengers: Infinity War” and showed him as a projection of Wanda Maximoff’s (Elizabeth Olsen) grief.
Toward the end of “WandaVision,” the so-called White Vision was employed as a weapon to destroy Wanda, the fake Vision and their creation of the Westview anomaly. Given the fact that the character has experienced a “rebirth” of sorts, the series is likely to pick up in the aftermath of the show’s finale,...

Paul Bettany has the distinction of being on the ground floor of the Marvel Cinematic Universe along with Robert Downey Jr. In the original Iron Man and subsequent sequels, Bettany played the voice of Tony Stark’s AI system, Jarvis, before being given an on-screen character of the android, Vision. Bettany continued his run into the Disney+ series, WandaVision, where the character has had a kind of resurrection after his demise in Avengers: Infinity War.
The character that held such an important role in Wanda Maximoff’s life was not shown in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but now ScreenRant (via a scoop from Jeff Sneider’s Hot Mic Podcast) reports that a new series is in development at Disney+ that will continue the adventures of the intelligent android. The studio is reportedly about to open up a writer’s room for a show with the working title Vision Quest.
