Anthony and Joe Russo seem to think that the chapter on Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man is closed after his heroic sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame. When they learned that Downey Jr. hinted at his potential return to the MCU role, they were confused by the idea. The Gray Man directors revealed that they have no clue about how the cinematic universe would bring back the character.

Fans were particularly disheartened by two of their favorite Marvel directors playing dumb to the concept of multiverse. The Russo brothers also directed the Sherlock Holmes star in Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.

The recent trailer for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is packed with nods to comic stories and tons of cameos. In the movie, Deadpool teams up with the Tva to save his reality from falling apart.
He tries to convince Wolverine to join him, but it seems like Wolverine isn’t eager. The film will introduce Cassandra Nova as the main villain and explore the Multiversal Theme of the MCU.
The movie is generating a lot of buzz, which can be both positive and negative. On the bright side, it’s likely to attract huge crowds to theaters. However, the downside is that fans have extremely high expectations and numerous theories, making it impossible to meet all of them. Eventually, this hype might lead to disappointment.
Even industry insiders are fueling the hype. Director Matthew Vaughn dubbed the movie the “MCU savior,” and Deadpool creator Liefeld hailed it as “the best comic movie of all time,...

It has been 5 years since fans experienced something unprecedented in the superhero genre with Avengers: Endgame. The anticipation for the film was something that Hollywood had never seen before. After the devastating cliffhanger of Avengers: Infinity War, everyone was hyped for what was to come and how the Avengers would defeat Thanos.
Avengers: Endgame was arguably the most anticipated MCU film before its release
When the film opened, fans were extremely satisfied with how the Russo Brothers managed to tie up the 22-film arc of the Infinity Saga in a grand and emotionally resonant way. The film also broke several box office records and created new ones, which may never be replicated in history.

After creating the heartbreaking yet truly magnificent exit of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe via Avengers: Endgame, the Russo Brothers — Joe Russo and Anthony Russo — are all set to bring new action to the screens. And this time, this peak entertainment would not be through Rdj or the MCU, but rather, ostensibly through Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling.

As it turns out, the dynamic duo recently hinted at wanting to work with Evans and Gosling once again. The project they would be collaborating on is the sequel to the masterpiece from 2022, The Gray Man. But that’s not all because Evans isn’t the only Chris the mastermind filmmakers are looking forward to working with: They also want Chris Hemsworth to reprise his iconic role!

Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr. has expressed interest in reprising his role as Iron Man.
However, there is one problem, the character died at the end of ‘Avengers: Endgame’.
Speaking with GamesRadar at the Sands: International Film Festival, the film’s directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, seemed baffled at the notion of a Downey return.
“I don’t know how they would do it. I don’t know what the road to that would be,” Anthony Russo told GamesRadar, reports deadline.com.
“I mean, we closed that book, so it would be up to them to figure out how to reopen it,” Joe Russo added.
Marvel head Kevin Feige refuted the claim that it was mulling over bringing Iron Man back.
He had earlier said Marvel Studios could not “magically undo” Tony Stark’s death in ‘Avengers: Endgame’.

The year was 2013. With Marvel raking in billions at the box office with its interconnected superhero movies, it was time for DC to kick off its own extended universe. After all, Marvel had taken characters like Iron Man and Thor (both relatively obscure at the time) and Captain America (hopelessly old fashioned) and turned them into bone-fide sensations that led to 2012's The Avengers.
Zack Snyder led the charge on creating a DC Extended Universe, directing many of the franchise's films and producing most of the others.
But Zack Snyder's Dceu never did match the success of its rival franchise, and after a decade of faltering box office receipts and 'meh' reviews the whole thing came to an anticlimactic end with the 2023 flop Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Now the entire thing is getting rebooted. So what does Zack Snyder think of that?

Five years after it was first released, the legendary MCU film Avengers: Endgame still holds a special place in the hearts of fans. The cinematic event was preceded by the equally compelling Avengers: Infinity War, which saw many of the MCU’s beloved heroes be a victim of Thanos’ fatal Snap.
One of the highlights of the fourth Avengers film was the famous ‘Portal’ scene, which saw all of the heroes return back after the Og Avengers reverse the snap. The goosebumps-inducing scene is still remembered to this day by fans. However, the initial plan of the team behind the film reportedly did not include the legendary scene at all.

It has been 5 years since the world saw the death of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man in the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame. With countless heroes and one big bad baddie, Endgame was the MCU’s most ambitious project yet.
With future Avengers movies at stake, it seems that the MCU is not yet ready to let of of its old heroes. Having some veteran actors in their collection, Marvel Studios has allegedly told two Avengers stars to clear their schedule for Avengers 5!

If The Marvel Cinematic Universe wobbled in 2023 because of the poorly received ‘Ant-Man 3’ “The Marvels,” and “Secret Invasion” series, many might argue part of that is the loss of its big stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johannsson in the post “Avengers: Endgame” universe.
All three of their characters, Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow, respectively, either died or were essentially taken off the battlefield (Captain America came back from his time travel exploits as an old man).

Robert Downey Jr. elated Marvel fans earlier this month when he told Esquire magazine that he would “happily” return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Tony Stark/Iron Man following his Oscar win for best supporting actor in March. There’s only one hiccup: Iron Man died in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.” But the MCU’s ever-expanding multiverse certainly leaves the door open for Downey’s return
In a recent interview with GamesRadar+, “Avengers: Endgame” directors Joe and Anthony Russo expressed some confusion over Downey’s Iron Man popping back up in the MCU after they killed the character off so heroically in their record-breaking film.
“I don’t know how they would do it,” Anthony said. “I don’t know what the road to that would be [laughs].”

Chris Evans played the role of Steve Rogers a.k.a Captain America in the MCU. For almost a decade, the actor entertained fans with his unrelenting optimism and good-old heroism in films such as Captain America: The First Avengers, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. The actor departed from the role after the end of his character arc in Endgame.
While fans want Evans to return to his role for the upcoming Avengers 5, the actor seems to be done with the character for a while. However, he did not rule out the possibility of returning to the MCU as a whole, as he expressed his desire to play Johnny Storm again. The actor had previously played the role in Fox’s Fantastic Four, which starred Jessica Alba.

Despite the novelty of playing the next Big Bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jonathan Majors had been very methodical and studious in his role as Kang. With a fine debut in Loki, Majors created an aura of as much adoration and praise as was deserving of an actor of his caliber.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ trailer dropped yesterday, and it was nearly impossible to catch all the references and easter eggs in one viewing. The trailer revealed plenty of cameos to add to our list, and plenty of notable “locations.” Such as presumably Strange’s portal, and Cassandra Nova using Ant-Man’s giant head as her headquarters.
But except for funny (and awesome) easter eggs, we noticed something that filled us with hope, a brief nod that Iron Man might make an appearance in this movie, which is judging by everything so far, truly an MCU savior.
At one point in the movie Red Skull’s Car from ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ can be seen, but sporting one significant change it has an Iron Man hood ornament, which prompted fans to conclude that Iron Man might be making a return.

In one scene of the movie, Red Skull’s car from ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ is visible, but with a notable alteration: it now features an Iron Man hood ornament. This detail led fans to speculate that Iron Man could be coming back.

The man had been playing the character since 2000! Perhaps his desire to leave Wolverine and the rest of the X-Men behind stemmed from his time on X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Deadpool & Wolverine once again has the internet in a choke hold with its latest trailer that screams even more peak entertainment than the first two. Not only did this promotion give a heavy insight into the relationship that Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson and Hugh Jackman’s Logan will be sharing in the movie, but it also dropped some Easter eggs that have fans wondering what they could truly mean.
Deadpool 3.
With the Easter eggs being mentioned, there is one rather peculiar scene in the trailer that fans just can’t figure out the reason behind: Wade carrying golden guns while walking out in full style into the seeming battlefield with Wolverine. And since fans already know who these guns belong to, thanks to all the set leaks from the film, they also fear this scene could have a disturbing backstory.

It has been more than 15 years since Guy Ritchie released his Sherlock Holmes offering with Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role. A lot has changed in the film industry since then, with the 59-year-old becoming a mega star thanks to his pivotal involvement in the MCU.
Now that Downey Jr. has hung up his Iron Man suit, he is interested in making a third offering in the Sherlock Holmes film series. This is reportedly in the pipeline, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet. It has been announced that there will be at least one spinoff series, though, which could be set to reinvigorate the franchise.
Detective Remains at Forefront of Popular Culture
There are rumours that there will be two spinoff series, which are due to be released on HBO Max. This could be a clever move from the streaming service, as the Sherlock Holmes brand is massive in popular culture.

However, if there’s something we know about Marvel, is that when it comes to their most hyped-up projects, their trailers are not always 100% faithful. There has been some tweaking done in the past before, and there’s a possibility it might be happening again. This time, in the case of The Sorcerer Supreme.

After giving an outstanding performance in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, and grabbing the Academy Awards for the Best Supporting Actor Robert Downey Jr. is all set to work on his new project, The Sympathizer. He is going to portray four different characters in the movie: a director, a congressional representative, a professor, and a CIA operative. This project is going to be one of the most difficult projects that the Iron Man actor has put his hands on.

Reintroducing villains or anti-heroes from former movies hasn’t really been MCU’s style ever since it was kicked off with Iron Man back in 2008. Characters like Loki and Bucky Barnes have been an exception in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe as they have already redeemed themselves in multiple movies and series over the years.

However, as we witnessed in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel would bring back older characters if the studio feels like it.

Many stars have been a part of Marvel’s extended universe over the years, even if they were never a part of Marvel Cinematic Universe. From Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy to the X-Men movies, none of these were a part of the MCU as Marvel Studios did not have the rights for these characters until a few years ago.

The MCU has its fair share of humor, sometimes unintentionally, but you probably know that certain characters always bring the laughs. Fans recently voted on Ranker to decide which MCU character is the funniest across all movies and shows. While the top 3 might be predictable, the rankings in between might surprise you.
10. Loki
Loki can be inadvertently funny with his “advanced” wit, which often goes over other characters’ heads. However, his most amusing traits are his otherworldly schemes. He’s unique in the MCU, being present in both the funniest and most heart-wrenching scenes. Sarcasm and malice seem to be his superpowers, a trait we share.
9. Spider-Man
I was quite surprised to see Spidey on this list, but then again, I might not be the target audience for his humor. In the MCU, Spider-Man’s jokes mostly come during fights or with an innocent cluelessness. However, they often don’t land well with his audience,...

The MCU does involve a lot of humor, sometimes unintentionally, but by now you’re aware that there are some comedy gold moments in pretty much most MCU projects, instigated by the same characters.
Fans gathered on Ranker to determine who is the funniest character in the MCU from all movies and shows involved, the top 3 might not surprise you, but everything in between will.
10. Loki
Loki is one of those characters that is unintentionally funny sometimes, his “advanced” wit is lost on other characters, but the funniest bits of his character are his otherworldly machinations. He is also one of the rare characters in the MCU that is involved in both the funniest moments and the most heartbreaking moments. His superpower at this point is sarcasm and malice, so we have that in common.

Whenever a new name steps into the lifestyle business, comparisons are bound to happen with the Og in the game, Martha Stewart. Founder of the Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, she rose to prominence after excelling in the segment of lifestyle products in the ’70s and has been synonymous with everything domestic since.

Oscar-winner Robert Downey Jr. had a career renaissance when he starred in 2008 as Tony Stark in Iron Man. The film laid the foundations of the MCU and is still considered to be one of the most important superhero films to be made, despite releasing in the same year as Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight.
However, Iron Man was not the only character Downey Jr. played in 2008. A few months after he appeared in the MCU film, he starred as Kirk Lazarus in Ben Stiller’s satire action film Tropic Thunder. He was even nominated for an Oscar for his role as a method actor who altered his skin color to play a Black man in a film. The role has attracted controversy since its release for its use of Blackface on the star.

The world of Marvel Comics is huge, but so is the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). And in the last few years, the MCU has expanded and grown into an even bigger entity than it was thanks to its Multiversal concept. Due to the Multiverse and time traveling, the MCU also brought two great characters back from the dead, i.e. Loki and Gamora.

Despite the shocking return of these two beloved characters, fans eagerly anticipate that it will potentially open the door for others to return. Yet it is essential to remember that not every fallen hero will rise again, since for some characters like Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, their legacy matters more than fans’ desires.

Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood’s biggest action stars to have never dipped his toes into the superhero genre. While Cruise was once in contention for the role of Tony Stark / Iron Man during the inception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the star could have just as easily ended up on the DC side of the superhero landscape.

Remember 2006? That was the year that High School Musical came out, and so did Lance Bass. The very first tweet was tweeted, and Miley Cyrus was just some actress on a new Disney Channel show.
In this strange and innocent time, NBC dropped a (then) totally unique pilot into its mix of programming. It was a superhero show – but one without any recognizable names, like Superman or Batman. It was an ensemble show, but it was also high-budget. And, two years before The Dark Knight declared superheroes to be serious business, it challenged the audience to really think about what it might mean if average, ordinary people developed superhuman abilities.
The show, of course, was Heroes.

For over a decade, it felt like the Marvel Cinematic Universe was on top of the world. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and his rotating crew of filmmakers churned out one hit after another, with each new movie in the MCU guaranteed to be one of the biggest of the year.
So what went wrong?
After what might be the most significant event in cinema history — Avengers: Endgame — the Marvel Cinematic Universe was primed for a reset. Many of the old characters were out, passing the baton to some new faces.

Zack Snyder's "Watchmen," as it turns out, could have featured one of the biggest movie stars of all time -- Tom Cruise. The actor behind "Mission: Impossible" and "Top Gun," among many, many other hits, was said to be in the running for a role in the film dating back to several years before it even came out, which Snyder later personally confirmed. But now, the filmmaker has added a pretty interesting layer to the whole thing: Cruise would have starred in the movie, but he wanted to take on the role of Rorschach, which isn't exactly what Snyder had in mind.
Speaking to Josh Horowitz on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast as part of the promotional tour for his new movie "Rebel Moon -- Part Two: The Scargiver" (which hits Netflix this weekend), Snyder touched on Cruise's potential casting in "Watchmen" all those years ago. The director explained...

Despite his pretty diverse portfolio, most people primarily knew Robert Downey Jr. as the Iron Man star — until Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer came around, bringing the actor his first Academy Award and making the world see his dramatic chops. While a huge win, Downey Jr. didn’t plan on stopping there: he learned his potential and knew that to unleash his full power, he had to play five characters at once.
The Sympathizer: What Is It About?
It’s hard to put The Sympathizer under a strict genre definition. It’s a period drama as it’s set in the last days of the War in Vietnam; it’s a dark comedy as it tackles serious topic through sarcasm; it’s a spy thriller because the protagonist is a spy on a mission; and, of course, it’s a drama, because the stakes and tensions are high.

There are very few things in life that bring a person the utmost joy while delivering a sense of purpose at the same time. The Marvel Cinematic Universe tapped into that sense of purpose and Avengers: Endgame was its culmination. With billions of fans screaming, hollering, hooting, and wailing, the 22nd film in the MCU was a phenomenon worth its weight in tears, an event worth living through, and a tale worth retelling for generations to come.

Tom Cruise is easily one of the biggest Hollywood stars of all time. Even though he has been in the industry for over four decades, he is still sought after by the best directors to star in their projects. The actor himself exerts his influence too, often to bring out the best in him, and his decisions have always paid off.
However, he does not always get his way, as Zack Snyder recently revealed. The director confessed that he wanted the Mission: Impossible actor to play a certain character in one of his films, but Cruise sought a different role.

Wanda’s journey in the MCU has been complex. She began as a villain, transitioned into a hero, faced tragedy, experienced loss, briefly returned to villainy, and then reclaimed a heroic mantle by destroying the Darkhold and seemingly sacrificing herself.
The conclusion of ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ left her fate uncertain. Official statements haven’t clarified whether Wanda is still alive within the MCU.
Many fans, myself included, think that mere collapsing debris wouldn’t pose a significant threat to a Nexus being with such vast Multiversal potential. After all, we’ve seen Wanda endure far worse, so her return seems likely. Lately, there have been rumors suggesting she might get her own standalone movie. Even if that doesn’t materialize, there are several projects where her return would make perfect sense.

Open-world games have become a common thing nowadays. This is evident from the fact that there are currently two major superhero games in development, and both of them are open-world. One of them is Marvel’s Iron Man, while the other is Black Panther. One of them is in development at EA Motive, while the other is being developed by EA’s Cliffhanger Games.
There’s no set release date for these games as of yet, but fans are already comparing them to other games in this category. One game that comes to mind is none other than Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which was launched by Insomniac Games back in 2023. Yet everyone knows that DC perfected open-world superhero games years ago.

Here’s the official synopsis from Marvel Comics…
“It’s all led to this: Xenomorphs reach Earth! The perfect organism meets a planet of superhumans. Who will be first to fall?”
“I’ve never worked on a licensed or ‘non-superhero’ property the entire time I’ve been at Marvel, so when all of this came together almost two years ago, I kind of jumped at the opportunity,” Jonathan Hickman tells EW. “I love the Aliens universe and the mythology, and obviously just how atmospherically...

The scars given by Avengers: Endgame will not heal for a long time to come. Not only did we lose Black Widow and Iron Man to the ultimate sacrifice, but things went downhill for the Marvel Cinematic Universe soon after. Regardless, the film is one of the finest to exist in the superhero universe and its ending is going to stay with the fans forever.
Black Widow’s sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame
However, there was a slight chance that Avengers: Endgame would have been even more devastating than it was. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige had initially pitched to kill off all the original Avengers and not just Black Widow and Iron Man. Luckily, the Russo Brothers were right there to intervene and were able to put a stop to this just in time.
