It seems like the Marvel Cinematic Universe is back on track with Deadpool & Wolverine. The hype for the film is ever so high, as the movie is set to make several changes in the official MCU timeline. One of them is the formal assimilation of mutants and finally bringing the X-Men home after years of waiting.
X-Men [Credit: 20th Century Studios]In Marvel comics, stories involving the X-Men and Avengers have often run parallel to each other. Hence why we often see these two groups teaming up and even having members from one team helping out the other. With the MCU already establishing the Avengers more than a decade ago, fans are left to wonder how they are going to bring the X-Men to the forefront now.
However, there might be a simple solution to that, which involves Kang the Conqueror and the Tva.

With the unofficial beginning of summer — Memorial Day — come and gone, the season has entered full swing. Several of the summer weekends will be crowded at the box office with sometimes three releases competing on similar dates. With action films like Bad Boys: Ride Or Die, A Quiet Place: Day One and Twisters taking us through July, some animated adventures like Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4 will provide fun for whole families.
Deadpool 3 will cap off July with a new Marvel installment from Shawn Levy, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, making way for more sinister films ahead of fall like M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap and Alien: Romulus. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice deserves an honorable mention although it won’t hit theaters until September to lead into spooky season and October.

Stan Lee is known as the man who gave the comics industry some of its greatest heroes, like the Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man and the X-Men. However, the comic creator is also quite famous for pulling pranks in the industry, especially on up-and-coming artists who he meets.

The comics creator’s cameos in the films that are based on Marvel characters were a highlight for many, which were all shot together to allow the aging creator some leeway. While he once used this opportunity to given Tom Holland an old-school ribbing about being cast as Spider-Man, the creator also got his pranking dukes up when meeting with the creator of Deadpool.

While the entirety of 2010s saw Marvel dominating the box office with each of their releases, since Endgame, reception to their output has been pretty mixed. Although the cinematic giant witnessed great highs with No Way Home and Guardians 3, the studio has also experienced its fair share of lows, especially with The Marvels, which became a historic bomb.
But it seems The Marvels‘ failure hasn’t impacted MCU’s plan for its upcoming Young Avenger film, and fans aren’t too thrilled by the recent update on its production.

Tom Hiddleston had a great time on the set of the Disney+ series Loki and revealed that he got to work with an amazing crew. Emotionally, Hiddleston is still not over his character as the Greek God of Mischief, but the conclusion of Loki was sort of a significant ending for him. He revealed that the director of the series, Aaron Moorhead, gave him an idea to bring out his best performance in his final scenes.

Arguably the most anticipated movie of 2024 is Deadpool & Wolverine. The moment Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman announced in late 2022, fans went into a happy uproar that Deadpool and Wolverine will finally team up for an epic showdown. To be fair, fans do have a reason to be excited because the first two movies were really good. However, after the release of some of the set photos and some more understanding about the central plot of the third film, that excitement has been dialed back to some concern. Granted, the past two films have made it clear that...

Deadpool And Wolverine Officially Rated R For "Bloody Violence, Language, Gore, & Sexual References"
When it was announced that Marvel Studios was moving forward with a third Deadpool movie, it was generally assumed that the Merc With a Mouth's antics would be toned down to meet the usual PG-13 rating.
After all, it was difficult to imagine the Disney-owned studio giving the go-ahead to an McU-set project filled with gruesome violence, F-bombs, and whatever other outrageous references/innuendo Wade Wilson's unhinged mind could conjure up.
Director Shawn Levy would later confirm the rumors that the movie would be rated R, and any lingering doubts vanished after the first trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine showcased plenty of blood, bad language, and... pegging.
Now, the MPA has given the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."
Does this mean we can expect more R-rated MCU movies going forward? If D&w is a success - and early tracking...

Within minutes of the actors strike ending on Nov. 9, Ryan Reynolds was making plans to get back to London and the set of Deadpool & Wolverine, one of the many movies shut down in mid-July when the walkout commenced. He and director Shawn Levy were determined to make their July 26 release date, which they were able to accomplish. For other tentpoles, it was too late, and they would ultimately decamp to 2025.
One studio head says the impact of the writers’ walkout, which lasted five months until a settlement was reached on Sept. 27, also played a major role. “Think of it like this — if the actors’ strike shut down the oil refinery, then the writers’ strike shut down the oil fields.”
Toward the end of the SAG-AFTRA talks, studio chiefs were accused of being disingenuous when saying their 2024 release calendars were in danger every day the four-month strike dragged. Now the...

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two was the first big blockbuster of the year and led to a horde of new fans joining the fandom. The Timothée Chalamet starrer was based on Frank Herbert’s popular sci-fi novels and was the sequel of 2021’s Dune: Part One. The film also starred Stellan Skarsgård, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, and more.
While the film’s release led to many ‘Lisan-al-Gaib’ memes, nothing from the film went as viral as the infamous Dune popcorn bucket. The sandworm-shaped bucket was an object of ridicule from fans as well as the stars themselves. Ryan Reynolds recently released the Deadpool and Wolverine popcorn bucket as a joke, to which Villeneuve has responded.

Avengers, re-assemble!
Variety has reported that Shawn Levy, reliable director of “Night at the Museum,” “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian,” and “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” is “in the mix” to helm the next “Avengers” superhero team-up for Marvel. In late July, his promised-to-be-potty-mouthed R-rated “Deadpool & Wolverine” will hit theaters and, clearly, Marvel’s leader, Kevin Feige, liked what he saw.
Marvel is in desperate need of a course correction after some wobbly entries like “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “The Marvels,” and “Thor: Love and Thunder.” There was once a time when the Marvel opening logo was enough to print money and create cultural resonance, but those days have begun to wane, due in part to a glut of Disney+ streaming shows and the fact that “Avengers: Endgame” really did seem like a nice place to end the story.

Deadpool & Wolverine is around the corner and fans are jumping with excitement because the film has officially been labeled as a rated-r film. Though it was understood before the official confirmation because Reynolds’ The Merc with a Mouth has dropped the most ‘F-bombs’ in the MCU. Moreover, the film is set to feature intense violence and offensive language throughout the film, which will keep the fans entertained throughout the film.

Deadpool & Wolverine news has been a little quiet since tickets for the movie went on sale. However, thanks to the Yellow Cab Pizza Co., we have a new look at Hugh Jackman suited up as Logan. And yes, he still isn't wearing the mask!
Weirdly, that shot of Ryan Reynolds' Merc with the Mouth appears to be a promo art rather than a live-action still. It's also new, though, and a piece of imagery which nicely contrasts the different personalities of these heroes.
Two people who likely weren't eating pizzas while shooting Deadpool & Wolverine are Reynolds and Jackman.
During a recent interview, the latter revealed the biggest challenge of reprising his most iconic role. "I have to eat a lot," he explained. "For me, for my body type, I'm naturally skinny. To get the size on, that's the hardest bit. That's the bit that does my head in.

His recent outpouring of frustration regarding a rocky Disney relationship sends us the vital message that all is not calm in the superhero playground.

Out of all the movies on Marvel Studios’ release schedule, the ‘Avengers’ series is definitely the most exciting. We know that two new ‘Avengers’ movies are being worked on, and for the fifth one, a lot has happened in the past few months.
The latest news and rumors give us more details, as Deadline reports that the studio is getting close to picking a director for the movie.
According to Deadline, Waldron has handed the script for the upcoming movie to Shawn Levy. Levy is known for ‘Night at the Museum,’ ‘Stranger Things,’ ‘Free Guy,’ and the upcoming ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ which is expected to be a huge hit.

Marvel Studios reportedly wants Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy director to take charge of The Avengers 5.
In what has so far been a summer characterised by underperforming tentpole films, all eyes are on the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine to get bums in cinema seats.
Because the film was pushed from its original May slot into late July, it will be a bit late to save what has so far been a dismal summer at the box office, but cinema operators will likely be happy to see the film no matter when it arrives.
Shawn Levy has directed the film and according to reports, the Free Guy director may well be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to take on the biggest gig of them all: the next Avengers movie.

Deadpool & Wolverine Maker Shawn Levy Is Allegedly Being Eyed To Direct Avengers 5(Photo Credit –Shawn Levy/Instagram)
Ahead of the release of Deadpool and Wolverine, Shawn Levy is allegedly getting more good news regarding the next Avengers movie, Avengers 5. The MCU has been going through a rough phase recently, and this Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman can finally bring back the lost glory of Marvel and kick off the summer box office this year. Keep scrolling for more.
Marvel is very cautious about its releases. Only one MCU movie is coming out this year, and Avengers 5 has been shrouded in controversy for a long time, especially after Jonathan Majors’ firing from Marvel. He played the role of Kang the Conqueror and was being set up as the next big baddie in the MCU. Things went down south after he got arrested and was found guilty in the domestic violence case.

In a big show of confidence about the hopes for “Deadpool & Wolverine,” set to hit theaters in July and maybe save summer 2024 from the box-office doldrums, its director Shawn Levy (“Free Guy”) is apparently the first in line to be offered “Avengers 5,” formerly known as “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.” According to Deadline, Levy has emerged as the top choice for the director’s chair, and apparently ‘Avengers 5” screenwriter Michael Waldron (“Loki”) has given him the latest version of the script for his eyes only.

Deadpool & Wolverine is not in theaters for almost another two months, but the hopes and aspirations of the Marvel Cinematic Universe—and perhaps now the summer movie season box office itself—are already being placed on Ryan Reynolds’ broad, leather-clad shoulders. So it’s not like the Merc with a Mouth needed any more pressure. Yet pressure he might receive if the latest report out of Deadline is true: director Shawn Levy has entered early talks to helm the next Avengers movie.
The discussions are apparently in early stages, with the trade noting Levy has been handed the latest draft of the screenplay by Michael Waldron, but that Levy has apparently not decided if he would like to direct the film. Furthermore, Marvel Studios will continue approaching other directors while awaiting an answer about Levy’s interest. However, it would seem that Marvel has seen something they like in...

Director Shawn Levy may be sticking around the Marvel Cinematic Universe a bit longer.
Levy, who helmed this summer’s “Deadpool and Wolverine,” is being eyed by Marvel — though it’s in very early stages — to direct the next “Avengers” movie.
Destin Daniel Cretton, who made 2021’s Marvel movie “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” was previously supposed to direct the fifth “Avengers” movie, but he backed out in November 2023. That movie, which is scheduled for May 1, 2026, also does not currently have a title. It was originally named “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,” but lost that title after Jonathan Majors, who was cast as the time-traveling villain Kang the Conqueror, was convicted of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend. After this untitled “Avengers” movie, the next will be “Avengers: Secret Wars,” set for May 7, 2027.

The Avengers may be assembling for Shawn Levy.
Levy, who is busy putting the final touches on Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine, is in contention for the film and may be the studio’s choice to direct the next Avengers film.
The development is characterized as very early. Sources say Marvel and Levy are talking about the project and that the studio gave the latest script to the filmmaker late last week. But sources also say that other filmmakers are in the mix for the high-profile gig.
There is reason for some caution. Marvel previously — and quietly — offered the directing gig to Levy in mid-March, but at that point, the filmmaker turned it down. Scheduling was the concern at the time, as Levy is moving from various duties on Deadpool & Wolverine, which opens July 26, to the last season of Stranger Things. He is due to direct two episodes of the Netflix series,...

As Deadpool & Wolverine stands ready to save the summer box office, Marvel Studios may be looking to director Shawn Levy to save the Avengers as well. Deadline has heard that Levy has been given Michael Waldron‘s script for the next Avengers movie, and while no decisions have been made, it’s possible the studio may be eyeing him to direct the film.
Deadline adds that Marvel is “still planning to meet with other directors while they wait on a decision from [Levy].” However, he’s got some big projects on his slate. He will be “heavily involved” in the final season of Stranger Things and is also developing a Star Wars movie for Lucasfilm. Even if Levy doesn’t end up directing the next Avengers movie, I’d wager that he definitely has a future at Marvel, particularly as the studio seems to have a lot of faith in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Exclusive: As Deadpool & Wolverine tracks huge ahead of its July 26 release and looms as a summer box office savior, we can reveal that director Shawn Levy is the top choice and is having early conversations to direct another Marvel Studios pic — the next Avengers movie.
Deadline hears that Levy has been given the latest script by Michael Waldron, though sources add that he has not given an answer on whether he will take the job, and the studio is still planning to meet with other directors while they wait on a decision from him.
Marvel Studios could not be reached for comment.

According to IMDb data from the past week, the new Netflix series "Eric" was the most popular title on the site. The disturbing thriller—which stars Benedict Cumberbatch as a grieving father and puppeteer—has had sustained interest since its May 30th premiere, thanks to its polarizing effect on audiences, in addition to strong central performances by Cumberbatch and Gaby Hoffman (more on her later).
‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ was the top movie among IMDb users last week, despite the fact that it was outperformed at the box office by both ‘The Garfield Movie’ and John Krasinski’s ‘IF’ during these sluggish early days of the 2024 summer movie season.
Gaby Hoffman was the top name on the site last week, thanks to her performance as Cassie Anderson in the aforementioned “Eric.” Hoffman started as a child actress in films like ‘Field of Dreams’ and ‘Uncle Buck,’ but is more recently known for her role as Ali Pfefferman on Prime Video’s “Transparent,” a role that earned her two Emmy nominations. Other top names last week were Morena Baccarin, who celebrated a birthday and stars in the upcoming ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ Nicola Coughlan of “Bridgerton” fame, and Anya Taylor-Joy of ‘Furiosa.’
Kaiju fans are also stomping over to IMDb to learn more about ‘Godzilla Minus One,’ which just landed on Netflix. The Oscar-winning Japanese film was a surprise hit, and movie fans who missed the theatrical run have been patiently waiting for a streaming release. The movie premiered way back in October 2023, an eternity in the streaming age.
Finally, horror aficionados are keeping the conversation around ‘The First Omen’ alive now that the prequel has arrived on Hulu. The spike in interest is no surprise after the film’s successful theatrical run, good word of mouth from critics and audiences, and a strong central performance from Nell Tiger Free. Could ‘The Second First Omen’ be on the table? Fingers crossed.

The “Alien” franchise’s 21st century output has been something of a mixed bag, with offerings ranging from the crossover blockbuster “Alien vs. Predator” to Ridley Scott’s polarizing prequels “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant.” But the sci-fi series is set to return in a big way courtesy of an upcoming TV show from Noah Hawley and “Alien: Romulus,” a new film hailing from director Fede Alvarez and executive producer Ridley Scott.
The film, which stars Cailee Spaeny and is based on an original idea from Alvarez, takes place 20 years after the events of Scott’s original “Alien.” The movie is one of the highest profile releases on Disney and 20th Century’s strike-shortened summer movie slate.
Disney’s distribution chief Tony Chambers embraced the R-rated nature of “Deadpool & Wolverine” and quoted something he heard from Ridley Scott on his thoughts on the movie during CinemaCon: “It’s fucking great.

Ryan Reynolds’ career before Deadpool was that of a talented actor, but he hadn’t yet achieved Hollywood A-list status. That turning point came with Deadpool. Iron Man with its debut in 2008 had already shown the industry the immense potential of a superhero franchise, and Reynolds understood that he needed to secure such a role to elevate his career to that level.

So when the opportunity for Green Lantern arose, although not as invested at first, in the end, he actively pursued it, even going so far as to beg for the role. However, little did he know, it would have the opposite effect on his career trajectory. Despite Green Lantern not meeting expectations, fans are grateful that it nudged Reynolds to have his moment eventually.

Beloved Character Will Skip Deadpool and Wolverine to Avoid 'Messing with Logan's Timeline' - Main Image
Deadpool & Wolverine is expected to feature several surprising cameos, but there’s one character fans have been wanting to see: X-23. However, it seems like it won't happen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to avoid messing with Logan’s timeline.
Fans know by now that Wolverine dies in the 2017 Logan, which was supposed to be Hugh Jackman’s final movie as the adamantium-clawed superhero.
However, the actor will make his triumphant return in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Given X-23’s importance in Logan and the possibility that the third Deadpool film may feature remnants of the 20 Century Studios movie, it’s the perfect time for Dafne Keen to reprise her role as Laura Kinney after seven years.
Sadly, she confirmed in an interview with On Demand Entertainment that it wasn’t happening.
“It's sad.

Jan Koeppen, president of The Walt Disney Company Emea, has restated the company’s commitment to cinemas, speaking of the company’s “belief in the importance of theatrical distribution.”
“Everyone at Disney loves movies, and we love to make them big,” he said.
The Disney Emea boss was speaking at the Deloitte and Enders Analysis Media & Telecoms 2024 and Beyond Conference in London on Tuesday morning, where he touched on the breadth of Disney’s business, from theatrical to linear. Using “The Lion King” as an example, he noted that since the animated film’s debut 30 years ago it has spawned stage shows, theme park experiences, consumer products, is available on Disney+ and has a spin-off, “Mufasa,” coming out this winter. “We believe strongly that the breadth of our business is a key source of advantage,” he said. “It brings strength, resilience and opportunity.”

Disney’s Europe Head Touts Theatrical, Linear TV, Cites ‘Lion King’ as Example of Disney “Advantage”
The Walt Disney Co. has put much effort into getting its creative juices flowing again since Bob Iger’s return as CEO and recently fending off a challenge from dissident shareholder Nelson Peltz. In fact, the Hollywood conglomerate is focused on ensuring its status as a producer of hit content that can form long-running and deep “connections” with consumers, with its portfolio of businesses across platforms and experiences helping create lasting fan engagement with franchises over a lifetime and across generations.
That was the message sent by Jan Koeppen, the entertainment giant’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (Emea) president, at Deloitte’s Media & Telecoms 2024 and Beyond Conference on Tuesday as he shared his take on what makes the company “stand out in an industry that’s always competitive and always changing.”

Actor/ director and comedian Jordan Peele has been the mastermind behind some of the most talked about horror movies, including Get Out, Us, and of course, Nope. However, his recent cinematic journey as a producer has not been quite as promising as Dev Patel’s very own Monkey Man, despite the hype, was far from making a splash at the box office.

Certainly, Peele deserves a break, and his recent meeting with Marvel Executives might just change his fate. With the recent report, fans might wonder what project Peele would pick up. While most fans almost believed that he would direct Mahershala Ali’s Blade, we think he might just land on a different exciting project, given Yann Demange is set to direct Blade (if Marvel Studios is still sticking with him).

With reshoots ongoing on Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World, a ton of new set photos have been surfacing online over the past few days and the latest batch reveals star Anthony Mackie ("Sam Wilson/Captain America") suited up in his classic white-and-blue suit from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, essentially reaffirming that he'll be sporting multiple looks in the eagerly-awaited Marvel blockbuster.
As per a recent report, the additional photography isn't expected to be particularly extensive, and should conclude within another week or two. New action sequences were expected to be added, so based on what we're seeing in these photos, it looks like they might be shooting a new opening for the film, where Mackie sports his first Captain America suit.
He'll also wear a wingless blue-and-red suit in the film, something not too dissimilar from Steve Rogers' stealth suit, but it's not yet clear what...

Another weekend in the books, another reason to be pessimistic about the state of the box office in 2024. We are just coming off of the worst Memorial Day weekend in decades in terms of ticket sales, thanks to weak performances by both "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and "The Garfield Movie." Now? With no meaningfully big movies entering the marketplace, theaters were left to suffer -- so much so that this past weekend now ranks as literally one of the worst weekends the summer box office has experienced in a quarter century.
"The Garfield Movie" held far better than "Furiosa" in its second weekend, as the animated film topped the charts with a $14 million haul. That's good for Sony, but terrible for the industry at large. When we're in the midst of the summer moviegoing season and the number one movie on a given weekend pulls in $14 million, we're in trouble.

But who is he in the MCU? Esposito has long been rumored to join the gargantuan franchise, something made more real when the actor shared to social media some of his recent talks with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige. However, we now have more information… sort of.
As part of the reshoots done for Captain America: Brave New World, the first with Anthony Mackie‘s Sam Wilson as the Sentinel of Liberty, Esposito has been added to the cast. Initial reports identified him as a new mystery villain who would act as an “agent of chaos.

But who is he in the MCU? Esposito has long been rumored to join the gargantuan franchise, something made more real when the actor shared to social media some of his recent talks with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige. However, we now have more information… sort of.

In a not-so-surprising twist, Sony's 'The Garfield Movie' overtook Warner Bros.' Mad Max prequel 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' to claim the top spot at the domestic box office this weekend. After an underwhelming Memorial Day weekend, the lazy, lasagna-loving cat pulled in $14 million from 4,108 theaters for a solid $51.5 million total after two weeks, bringing its worldwide gross to $152 million. Not a bad deal considering the film's $60 million price tag.
Meanwhile, 'Furiosa' fell to third place with $10.7 million, bringing the films domestic haul to a disappointing $49.6 million. Warner Bros.' had high hopes for George Miller’s action epic, with stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth headlining, and it has fared slightly better overseas with $64.7 million for a $114 million worldwide total. But like its predecessor, 2015's 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' its path to profitability looks increasingly rocky with a budget of $168 million. Wedged between 'Garfield' and 'Furiosa' was John Krasinski's family film flick 'IF.' The Paramount release collected $10.8 million in its third week for an $80.4 million domestic tally.
Notable new releases over the weekend include 'Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle,' the big screen anime adaptation of the popular manga with $3.5 million, and IFC Films’ slasher flick 'In a Violent Nature,' which brought in $2.1 million.
Overall, it was another disappointing weekend at the movies. With no major new releases, the total box office was down a sobering 65% compared to the same weekend last year. After an encouraging post-pandemic season in 2023—fueled by the blockbuster duo of 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer'—it’s a grim start to the summer movie season, with year-to-date revenues trailing 2023 by 24% so far. Hollywood is hoping the worst is behind it, though, as June and July have some (hopefully) guaranteed hits with Pixar’s 'Inside Out 2,' Illumination’s 'Despicable Me 4,' and the year's only Marvel movie, 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'

Over the years, we’ve learned to take a supposed cinematic finale with a pinch of salt. Years after Logan, Hugh Jackman is back in Deadpool & Wolverine. In horror-land, Saw: The Final Chapter turned out to be anything but. The apparent end of the Jurassic era with Jurassic World: Dominion lasted mere years, with a new film entering production shortly. But, if the title (and pre-release chatter) is to be believed Venom: The Last Dance will be Tom Hardy’s… well, last dance with the Venom symbiote, capping off Sony's trilogy of Spider-Man-adjacent comic book outings with a whole bunch more space-goo creatures in the mix. Following his very brief appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home, we catch up with Hardy’s Eddie Brock, who is now on the run – and facing foes both from Earth, and Venom’s homeworld. Check out the trailer:

Amazing Spider-Man #50 was recently released and ended with a major status quo shift for Peter Parker. The hero has been secretly brainwashed by the Green Goblin, transforming him into the twisted "Spider-Goblin."
We've yet to see the consequences of that change, though we're not expecting the hero's villainous new persona to be a permanent change.
The series has also seen the Sinister Six reassemble, and while that would usually be a problem for Peter, they'll now have to face the web-slinger with his twisted new persona.
Today, we have two spectacular variant covers for the final two chapters in this storyline; illustrated by Gabrielle Dell'Otto, we see the classic version of Spidey doing battle with the team: Doctor Octopus, Kraven the Hunter, Electro, Mysterio, Sandman, and The Vulture.

The aftermath of Avengers: Endgame had Marvel Studios enter its multiverse saga. A deep dive into the storyline with projects such as Loki, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, marked the beginning of that chapter and threw open the doors to endless possibilities. Furthermore, after its take on Kang saw botched results owing to narrative failures in flicks like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a revamp of sorts is on the way with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in Deadpool & Wolverine.
