Deadpool & Wolverine, featuring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, was one of the year’s most eagerly awaited films. Fans had long anticipated seeing these two iconic characters team up, and the movie delivered, leaving audiences thrilled with its story.
Throughout the film’s release, we’ve explored and analyzed its many Easter eggs and cameos, some of which were particularly significant. One of the standout moments was Chris Evans’ unexpected return to the MCU, which turned out to be one of the film’s highlights.
However, while Evans’ return was a fantastic surprise, it also means we’ll never see the long-desired showdown between Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. in the MCU—a matchup fans have been hoping for since Civil War. Curious why? Read on to find out!

Deadpool & Wolverine, which starred Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, was the most anticipated movie of the year for many fans. Many had been waiting for a long time to see these two iconic characters work together, and the movie finally brought them together to the satisfaction of moviegoers, who were amazed by the story.
Over the course of the film’s cinematic run, we have discussed and analyzed the numerous Easter Eggs and cameos in the movie, some of which were wholly significant. Among the more important cameos in the movie was that of Chris Evans, who returned to the MCU—albeit not in the way you might have predicted—in one of the best moments of the movie.

The MCU has often been criticized for its contemptuous nature when it comes to holding its heroes responsible for their actions. But Captain America: Civil War proved to be an exception, at least during its beginning, which saw the Avengers being called out over the destruction of Sokovia.

However, this aspect is shorty put to the corner in favor of setting up a conflict between Steve and Tony, which contributes to the events of Infinity War. While the movie is by no means bad, arguably one of the best Pre-Infinity War flicks the MCU had to offer, there was also a colossal waste of potential.

Marvel comic nerds and MCU fans have always had their eagle eyes peeled for Stan Lee’s cameos, and even though he’s no longer with us, the hunt for his surprise appearances continues. But guess what? Stan Lee wasn’t just the godfather of cameos for Marvel only, he took a tinsy little detour into DC territory as well! Well, sort of…

The idea of Captain America was born of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, who first appeared in Captain America Comics #1, published by Timely Comics. The character is one of the most popular superheroes created and has managed to capture a big fanbase.
Steve Rogers, who takes on the mantle of Captain America, was once a frail, asthmatic boy who wanted to do his part in helping the Allies win against the Nazis. He takes on a super-soldier serum that changes his physiology and turns himself to his peak physical form.

In the comics, the character is a lot more grittier. Over the years, many instances have shown us how different he is from MCU’s Captain America, who is toned down a lot. He is superhuman, with a vibranium shield, and fights off humans and aliens alike, whoever threatens Earth.

Captain America: Civil War was a landmark film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, featuring an epic clash between Captain America and Iron Man. But amidst all these action-packed sequences and intense drama, the flashbacks took the cake.

Ryan Reynolds changed the rules of the Marvel Cinematic Universe when he starred in the iconic 2024 film Deadpool & Wolverine. However, there is one rule that Reynolds cannot change… the death of a character in the cinematic universe.

which continues to screen in theaters worldwide, stars Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. For many fans, it was the year’s most eagerly awaited film. The long-anticipated team-up delivered on expectations, leaving most fans thrilled with the outcome.
While fans have already delved into many of the Easter Eggs and cameos, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine‘ remains captivating. Among the various iconic Marvel characters that made appearances, some were Deadpool variants, including one particularly bizarre character: Headpool. With Marvel’s future plans in mind, there’s an ingenious way to reintroduce Headpool to the MCU.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is over halfway through its Multiverse Saga storyline now and the endgame of it all seems clearer than ever. That's not because it's at the halfway point. The franchise had been having more downs than ups until earlier this year when the game-changing release of Deadpool and Wolverine was matched in its awesome response by the announcement that Robert Downey Jr. would return to the franchise as the saga's new major villain, Doctor Doom.
Anything is possible in the multiverse, including replacing your major villain with a new one (as Downey's Doom will now replace Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror), so bringing back the Iron Man star in a new role was doable. And as surprising as it was in many ways, in others it wasn't, because expectations are high for the upcoming two Avengers movies, with fans already expecting to see some major returns in...

After Jonathan Majors was removed from the MCU and Robert Downey Jr. was made Doctor Doom in the cinematic universe, it has been quite a long time since people have heard about Armor Wars.

So, what is the deal here? Why the hold-up? Well, we might not have the exact reason why people haven’t heard about Armor Wars but it seems that Don Cheadle might have the answer!
Don Cheadle Has a Question For The Audience
It is usually the reverse case where we ask celebrities questions and they usually give the answer. The problem arises when the celebrity has a question to ask the audience and Don Cheadle has exactly done that.

Chris Evans’s journey in the MCU as Captain America was nothing short of epic. He started with a stand-alone film and went on to become one of the franchise’s most pivotal characters, ultimately retiring in Endgame after choosing to live out his days with Peggy in the past. Regardless of what Evans does in the future, Captain America will always be one of his most iconic roles.
Meanwhile, Josh Brolin has also had an extensive career in comic book movies, with Thanos being his most notable role, although far from his only one. Unlike Evans, whose transition into the world of comic books was expected, Brolin, known for his more serious and complex roles, brought an unexpected and valuable presence to the superhero genre.
So, while it’s clear that both Evans and Brolin have portrayed a fair share of comic book characters, the question remains: who has played more?...

The MCU is currently navigating the Multiverse Saga, which has received mixed reactions from fans. Critics have pointed to the sometimes convoluted plots and the idea that the Multiverse implies a lack of consequences.
Despite this, the concept of the Multiverse and variants presents intriguing opportunities to explore familiar stories from new perspectives and with different outcomes, as demonstrated by What If…?.
In the Multiverse, things get complex with variants—there are now two versions of Thanos, Gamora, and Loki in the MCU, and Rdj portrays both Iron Man and Doctor Doom.
The recent Deadpool & Wolverine also introduced a Human Torch played by Chris Evans, who is also Captain America. This setup might allow for a dramatically different version of Civil War to unfold in the MCU, once again with Rdj and Chris Evans on opposing sides.

MCU is currently in the middle of Multiverse Saga. Fans received this next chapter with kind of mixed reactions due to sometimes over-complicated premises and due to the notion that in the Multiverse there are no consequences.
However that same concept, and the concept of variants offers plenty of exciting opportunities to tell the same stories but from a different perspective and with a different outcome, something that ‘What If…?’ aimed to prove.
Now as far as Multiverse is concerned, things get confusing with variants, we have two versions of Thanos in the MCU, two of Gamora, and two of Loki, and Rdj is playing both Iron Man and Doctor Doom in the MCU.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has run its course as far as the majority of the fans are concerned. Kevin Feige’s dream world that first came into existence with Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man in 2008 now falls into ruins with Brie Larson’s The Marvels in 2023. The film only reaffirmed the belief that Marvel’s obsession with easy sequels instead of original ideas is leading to its downfall.

Let’s talk about a rivalry that you might be ignoring. Josh Brolin vs Chris Evans. It has been more than half a decade since we have witnessed Captain America and The Mad Titan go toe-to-toe against each other, with their last appearances in Marvel’s Avengers Endgame. But for Josh Brolin and Chris Evans, the clash just transmuted into a race. A race to determine who plays the most number of comic book characters on screen.
Ladies and Gentlemen, in the right corner, we have his insane range, from being the optimistic and charming Captain America to the brooding bad boy Lucas Lee in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, we have none other than Chris Evans, and on the right corner. The Mad Titan, the Man in Black, with a rep so dark that even his Marvel roles feel straight out of DC Universe to the Marvel Jesus himself – Josh Brolin.

Damian Priest, appearing on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, indicated that he had allegedly gotten the role of Namor, who appeared in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The character was eventually played by Tenorch Heurta, reinterpreted as the ruler of Talokan, rather than the ruler of Atlantis, as he is depicted in the comics.
Namor || Crdit: Marvel Studios
It has been speculated that he was blocked by the WWE from going ahead with the role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and fans are glad that the actor did not go ahead with playing the character. In fact, a lot of fans also have a tough time seeing Tenoch Huerta in the role, given that who would essay the role of Namor, would eventually come to blows with Reed Richards for the affection of Sue Storm.

With two successful test phases now under its belt, it’s safe to say that Marvel Rivals is going to be a game that completely redefines the hero-shooter genre and clamps down titans such as Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends.

One of the biggest reasons behind Marvel Rivals‘ success is its extensive and relatively well-balanced roster of fan-favorite characters that gamers can’t get enough of! However, the game is still missing one of the best MCU villains, who could thoroughly shake the meta from the ground up if he makes it to the game.

It’s a known fact that Thanos is one of the deadliest Marvel Comics villains of all time, as his greed for power and lust for death made him truly a terrifying opponent.

Gal Gadot found worldwide fame when she first appeared in the 2016 Zack Snyder film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Starring alongside Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill with some iconic music from Hans Zimmer, the world loved the character of Wonder Woman.

As some would say, Gadot was born to portray the character of Wonder Woman. However, things would have been very different for the Dceu if Gadot wouldn’t have been pregnant in 2011.
Gal Gadot Would Have Been A Part of Man of Steel!
As crazy as it sounds, Gadot was supposed to portray an antagonistic role in Zack Snyder’s 2013 film Man of Steel. The entry of Snyder and the birth of the Dceu saw Henry Cavill fighting General Zod in the origin story of Superman.

Vincent D’Onofrio is a well-known name in Hollywood, with standout roles like “Gomer” Pyle in Full Metal Jacket and Robert Goren in Law & Order: Criminal Intent. His portrayal of Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin, in Marvel’s television series, earned him a dedicated fan base.
While D’Onofrio is set to reprise his role in Daredevil: Born Again, he has expressed a keen interest in joining another major fictional universe: Warner’s Dcu. Fans are buzzing with excitement as D’Onofrio has revealed his desire to take on a role in the DC universe, though it remains to be seen if this will come to fruition. This potential crossover has fans eager to see what could be an exciting development for both D’Onofrio and the Dcu.

Vincent D’Onofrio is definitely a big name in Hollywood. And while he has had some interesting movie appearances (the most notable of which is that of “Gomer” Pyle in Full Metal Jacket), he made a career on television, playing – first – Robert Goren in Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and then later Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin, in Marvel’s television shows.
D’Onofrio became a fan-favorite after appearing in Marvel’s series, and while he is set to reprise his role in Daredevil: Born Again, the actor has also expressed his desire to enter another major fictional universe, namely Warner’s Dcu, and we now know who he would like to play.
There have been several actors who appeared in both cinematic universes, so this is not strange, and while we don’t really know if this will happen like this, the fans are quite excited, as this seems to...

The MCU is gradually gearing up for the next two Avengers films, “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars.” With Victor Von Doom poised to be the primary antagonist of the Multiverse Saga, the Avengers are currently absent from the scene.
We can anticipate the reformation of the team in the forthcoming “Captain America: Brave New World.” As the roster will need to be refreshed, some new faces will inevitably step in to replace those who are either deceased or retired.
As the new team forms, the big question is who will lead them? Captain America and Captain Marvel are the obvious choices due to their extensive experience in leadership and military organization, with Captain Marvel also being one of the most powerful Avengers.
A leader of the Avengers needs tactical and strategic expertise, as well as the ability to inspire and act under pressure.

MCU is slowly preparing us for the next two ‘Avengers’ installments, ‘Doomsday’ and ‘Secret Wars.’ We know that Victor Von Doom is being set up as the main villain of the Multiversal Saga, and the Avengers are currently non-existent.

Nothing can stop the momentum of Deadpool and Wolverine. Marvel's most unlikely dream team continues to break box-office records six weeks into its run, proving itself to be the force to be reckoned fans were hoping it would be, with its performance worthy of Marvel Studios' classic days of non-stop box office domination.
The film has now grossed an incredible $1.2 billion, making it the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. If you've been keeping up with its performance, you probably already knew that because it accomplished that incredible feat just in under two weeks; not bad for the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first foray into R-rated territory.

Anthony Mackie had long been in the entertainment industry before debuting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and his position as the new Captain America further cemented his position as one of the most talented actors in Hollywood. Soon, his solo movie as the respective character, Captain America 4, will be hitting the screens, only to elevate his stardom even more.

But while he holds many commendable acting credits to his name, Mackie has also gotten entangled with some controversial works. Like the racist drama The Banker, which saw him lead. But as good as the movie was, it got itself under the wrong limelight after getting bogged down by the wildest s-xual abuse scandal by none other than the film’s protagonist’s very own daughter.

Daredevil Star Vincent D'Onofrio Expresses Interest to Play Swamp Thing - Main Image
Daredevil: Born Again star Vincent D'Onofrio recently expressed his interest in playing an iconic DC character in James Gunn's Dcu franchise.
The veteran actor is known for playing Kingpin in Netflix's original Daredevil series and the MCU franchise. His portrayal villain is considered to be one of the best comic book castings as fans believe that he is perfect for the role.
At this point, it's hard to imagine any other actor playing Kingpin other than D'Onofrio as he always gives great performances in the role on every MCU project that he has appeared in so far.

Marvel and DC Comics are two sides of the same coin; two parallels in a world of storytelling that have entertained readers for close to a century. When the characters in those comic books were adapted onto screen, they began to entertain much more mainstream audiences, which just furthered their legacies.
Nowadays, fans like to compare the two all the time, particularly their big screen ventures. While Marvel is definitely in the lead at the moment simply due to the success of its Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC will look to catch up in the coming year when it launches its own live-action DC Universe.
Given the two companies' notoriety in the comic book world and their dominance in the cinematic field, actors from one of the franchises tend to jump to the other from time-to-time. Look no further than the likes of Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, Idris Elba, and Ryan Reynolds.

Black Widow is one of the most iconic characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a prominent member of the Avengers. She first appeared in the Iron Man films and continued to play a significant role until her tragic death in the final two films of the Infinity Saga. Although she received a stand-alone prequel, her departure marked the end of Scarlett Johansson’s MCU career.
Chris Evans’s journey as Captain America mirrors this in some ways. He debuted in a solo film and became a central figure in the MCU, retiring in Endgame and choosing to stay with Peggy. However, his story had a very different conclusion.
While both actors collaborated extensively on-screen, they also shared a strong off-screen friendship. This bond is a fascinating aspect of their stories, and we’ll explore the intriguing details of their relationship in this article.

Black Widow is one of the most well-known characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a well-known member of the Avengers. Before the character sadly passed away in the final two films of the Infinity Saga, she made her screen debut in the Iron Man flicks. Black Widow’s passing essentially ended Scarlett Johansson’s MCU career, despite the character receiving a stand-alone prequel movie.
Chris Evans’s MCU journey as Captain America, who made his film debut in a stand-alone film and went on to become one of the MCU’s most significant characters until retiring in Endgame and choosing to stay with Peggy in past, was somewhat similar, although it had a completely different epilogue.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ premiered some time ago, yet it remains one of the most celebrated and influential comic book movies ever. The film was a game-changer for Marvel and the MCU, marking the end of an era and reshaping the universe’s narrative, with both its highs and lows.
Even though the movie has been thoroughly analyzed, fans still enjoy revisiting this superhero epic, discussing intriguing theories about specific scenes and character dynamics. This ongoing fascination inspired this report, where we’ll explore a significant moment from the film.

Thor: Love and Thunder often ranks among the most disliked MCU movies, largely due to its uneven tone that unsuccessfully mixed comedy with serious themes.
Fans felt that the humor, which worked well in Thor: Ragnarok, was overdone in Love and Thunder, crossing into cringeworthy territory.
Storytelling and character development weren’t the only aspects that drew criticism for Thor: Love and Thunder. While the film maintained the vibrant, colorful visual style established in Thor: Ragnarok, many felt it went overboard. With its bold colors, neon lighting, and retro 1980s-inspired aesthetic, the movie aimed to evoke a sense of fun, but this often clashed with the more serious themes, creating a divisive “Technicolor lunacy” that some praised and others disliked.
Recent concept art reveals that Thor almost had a different suit, featuring a more serious color palette inspired by “Viking armors”—though with a distinctly RPG-like twist. Concept artist Aleksi Briclot...

‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ frequently makes it to the list of most hated MCU movies. The film suffered from an uneven tone, blending comedy with serious themes in a way that didn’t always work.
Fans felt that the humor that worked for the character in ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ was overdone and overused in ‘Love and Thunder’ bordering on cringy.
Storytelling and character development were not the only criticized aspects, however. ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ continued the vibrant and colorful visual style established in ‘Thor: Ragnarok,’ but overdone it.

While Chris Evan’s career was mostly dictated by Captain America in the last decade, playing a brave man, who is a symbol of truth and justice, isn’t exactly his cup of tea. Before landing the part of Steve Rogers, Evans mostly took gigs of characters who were a far cry from his virtuous Marvel counterpart.

Moreover, after parting ways with the MCU in 2019, the actor was back to playing such smug characters again, especially in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out. David Yates, who helmed Evans’ Pain Hustlers, later touched on the actor’s tendency to play such morally questionable characters, which doesn’t resemble Evans in the slightest.

The film industry is in a much different place now than it was back in the 2000s. The most popular franchise was the ‘Harry Potter’ series and the genre of superhero films was only beginning to really gain in popularity. But in 2008, a film came out that would radically change the landscape of blockbusters and big-budget studios: Marvel Studios’ ‘Iron Man.’ ‘Iron Man’ premiered to both critical and commercial success. The critics of the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes claimed that it “turbo-charge[d] the superhero genre with a deft intelligence and infectious sense of fun.” Audiences everywhere loved this thrilling story of a superhero not yet explored in the film industry. Little did everyone know, this film would kick off what would soon be the biggest and most successful franchise on the planet, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Even Chris Evans, the world’s sexiest man alive, ain’t immune to personal struggles. Behind the Captain America shield, Evans has been candid about his battles with anxiety. After wrapping up his iconic role in Avengers: Endgame, he ditched Hollywood’s chaos for a peaceful retreat back to his Massachusetts roots.

Known for his early roles as cocky characters, Evans has come a long way, evolving both in his career and personal life. His mom, Lisa, proudly highlights his journey, noting how he’s learned to manage his anxiety and grow stronger. Evans’ transition from a troubled star to a grounded individual shows there’s a lot more to fame than just the spotlight.

Vincent D'Onofrio is perhaps best known for playing the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Kingpin of Crime. He debuted as Wilson Fisk in Netflix's Daredevil in 2015 and has since appeared in the likes of Hawkeye and Echo.
Next up for the actor is Disney+'s Daredevil: Born Again, though rumour has it we'll eventually see the villain in a future Spider-Man movie.
However, should the opportunity present itself, there's one specific character in the Dcu who D'Onofrio is eager to play: Swamp-Thing! Taking part in a Q&a at Dragon Con, he shared his love of the supernatural anti-hero.
"These days, I don't know why...I don't if you guys are into DC like I am," D'Onofrio said. "Obviously I like Marvel too because that's my job. My comic books when I was a kid [were] Captain America, Spider-Man, Swamp-Thing. Swamp-Thing. I would really like to play Swamp-Thing."

While composer Michael Giacchino's theme for The Fantastic Four: First Steps debuted at the San Diego Comic-Con, the full version was played in Los Angeles this past Friday and is nothing short of epic.
It was played as a post-credits scene, of sorts, for the Infinity Saga Concert Experience and this feels like another sign Marvel Studios is going to treat this reboot as one of its biggest and most important movies in the entire Multiverse Saga.
Below is the official description for the Infinity Saga Concert Experience. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has since announced it's going on a worldwide tour; we're still waiting for additional details on that, so stay tuned.
"Gustavo Dudamel conducts the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the global premiere of a new Marvel Studios film concert that will take you on an epic on-screen cinematic journey that covers 23 films in one momentous concert experience.

Marvel fans will all remember the moment in Avengers: Age of Ultron when Chris Hemsworth’s Thor gave all the Avengers a chance to lift his mighty Mjolnir. While everyone else failed, Chris Evans’ Captain America, unbeknownst to others, manages to nudge the hammer just a tad bit. This moment made it all the more exhilarating when Cap finally wielded Mjolnir in Avengers: Endgame, proving himself just as worthy as Thor.

Even greater was the surprise when Captain America picked up Stormbreaker, Thor’s even deadlier weapon in Endgame. However, the surprise and amusement were short-lived when the God of Thunder asked Cap to use the little one, and as per one theory, it might be because he was trying to save Evans’ Steve Rogers’ life.

Thor: Love and Thunder was inevitably rated an unkempt disaster by many fans, spinning around more comedic tones than was necessary for the King of Asgard. From the storyline developed among the blatantly contrasting and not-sitting-well-with-each-other themes to the costume designated for Chris Hemsworth’s hero, it all seemed to have brutally fallen short.

The part about the costume was further felt deeply as the 2022 film came after Endgame, which saw the Asgardian in one of the most scruff transitions ever before getting back in good shape. To say the least, a different Viking-themed suit prepared in a concept art would have been the perfect battle gear for him, had it not been swapped for the more campy look as was seen in the movie.

The Boys is basically the MCU’s wild alter ego, with Homelander’s over-the-top brutality being the exact opposite of Captain America’s wholesome patriotism. The crazy antics in The Boys are so far out that even the most creative MCU fan couldn’t dream them up.

Chris Evans‘ portrayal of Captain America is one of the best casting decisions that Marvel has ever made. However, we came pretty close to having someone else bring Steve Rogers to life in the MCU.
While Chris is so well-cast in the role that it’s like he’s playing himself, he faced some stiff competition to carry Cap’s iconic shield.
In fact, Chris initially turned it down. Who might have picked up the shield if he never agreed to lead the Avengers? We did some digging and rounded up 11 actors who were considered for the role.
Interestingly, some of them wound up acting alongside Chris in the MCU. Two of them even yielded Cap’s shield at various points.
Others joined the franchise after he left. Some even had the chance to play roles in other mega-successful franchises, and one of them later revealed that they had to...

Joss Whedon's large-scale action picture "Avengers: Age of Ultron" was released in theaters in the spring of 2015, and it featured a gaggle of Marvel superheroes teaming up to fight the eponymous evil super-robot. Ultron (voiced by James Spader) was an artificial intelligence accidentally created by Iron Man while he was constructing a global, spacebound security system intended to make superhero-ing easier. Upon achieving consciousness, Ultron spends about two minutes on the internet and instantly decided that humanity needed to be wiped out, shunting its own consciousness into a series of robot bodies and going about its wicked business. The Avengers, naturally, smash up all the Ultron bots.
Ultron is destroyed at the end of that film and has only shown up in additional Marvel Cinematic Universe entries in smaller roles since then, including the animated TV show "What If...?" However, Spader will reportedly reprise Ultron for the upcoming "WandaVision...

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier may not be the most popular MCU show, but it delivered some memorable moments that fans still appreciate. It gave us more scenes with Bucky and Baron Zemo—some of which have become classics—and introduced new characters who have since become key players in the MCU.
One of these characters is John Walker, known as U.S. Agent, who was initially presented as Steve Rogers’ replacement as Captain America. This angered fans who believed the mantle should have gone to Falcon. Walker quickly proved to be a flawed and corrupt narcissist who didn’t embody Cap’s values.
Although Walker eventually found a path to redemption and is set to return in the upcoming Thunderbolts movie, one scene from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier continues to stand out three years after the series premiered, with fans still calling it the most brutal scene in MCU history.
