A year after the pop culture phenomenon Barbenheimer, Margot Robbie’s Barbie still seems to be part of the cultural zeitgeist. The existential comedy broke multiple records upon its release in 2023 and was the highest-grossing film of 2023. It also gained a spot in the worldwide box office records list with its $1.446 billion box office collections.
However, its spot at the highest-grossing films of all time list is threatened by this year’s breakout success Inside Out 2. The Pixar film reportedly crossed the $1.4 billion mark and is only a few thousand dollars away from beating Barbie. It is also reportedly $10 million away from being the highest-grossing animated film of all time.

Lots of things make Ridley Scott grumpy. Critics of "Blade Runner" make him grumpy. All of those millennials not watching "The Last Duel" make him grumpy. The idea of making "wizard films" for Disney makes him grumpy. The world seems like one big inconvenience to the octogenarian, to the extent that it's not really accurate to say these things make him grumpy. Much like Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner in "The Avengers," the secret to Scott's remarkably durable crotchetiness is that he's always grumpy.
None of this, of course, takes away from the man's equally remarkable filmography. While there are several dubious entries on that list, anyone who made "Blade Runner" is, in my opinion, unimpeachably brilliant. Still, I implore you to take a quick peek at Scott's Wikipedia page and marvel at the sheer level of irascibility emanating from his photo in what is surely the most accurate visual...

Mark Ruffalo's film debut came in 1994, when he appeared as a seductive and possibly supernatural super-hunk named Christian who periodically appears to Tracy Wells in the horror sequel "Mirror Mirror II: Raven Dance." The producers, likely pleased with his performance also hired Ruffalo to play a brand-new role in "Mirror Mirror III: The Voyeur." In that film, he played a sexy moving truck worker named Joey. Ruffalo did not appear in "Mirror Mirror 4: Reflections."
Despite starring in the "Mirror Mirror" movies, as well as the gore flick "The Dentist," Ruffalo had a pretty varied early career. He appeared in the '60s-set coming-of-age drama "There Goes My Baby" in 1994, the indie comedy "Safe Men" in 1998, and the Oscar Bait biopic "54" that same year. He worked with Ang Lee in 1999's "Ride with the Devil," but exploded into the pop consciousness with his memorable performance in Kenneth Lonergan...

Between 2019’s Avengers: Endgame and the upcoming two films namely Avengers 5 and Avengers 6 which will release in 2026 and 2027 respectively, the Marvel franchise has developed a whole new set of narratives. Phase 5 has also seen many other MCU superheroes and supervillains coming to the forefront following the exit of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and Chris Evans’ Captain America.

This huge playing field of characters who could potentially be a part of the future Avengers films, could also pose a problem for Kevin Feige and team. But judging from the Marvel head’s plans for the franchise, it seems that he has taken this aspect into account when he hinted that not all of them may get their day in the sun.

Los directores de ‘Vengadores: Infinity War’ y ‘Vengadores: Endgame’ podrían volver a Marvel.
De acuerdo con The Hollywood Reporter, los hermanos Russo, Joe y Anthony, quienes ya dirigieron “Vengadores: Infinity War” y “Vengadores: Endgame”, están en conversaciones para volver a Marvel Studios y dirigir no sólo una, sino las dos próximas películas de “Los Vengadores”. Durante los últimos meses se han barajado varios nombres, entre ellos el del director de “Deadpool y Lobezno”, Shawn Levy, pero parece que los Russo están más cerca de asumir el mando.

Marvel Studios are in negotiations with notorious anti-Trump directors the Russo Brothers, to take on a new live-action feature adaptation of Marvel Comics “Secret Wars", starring the 'Avengers', 'Spider-Man' and 'Hulk', among a gaggle of superheroes previously tied to a Mattel toyline:
The original 12-issue Marvel Comics title included "The Amazing Spider-Man" #251–252, "The Avengers" #242–243, "Captain America" #292, "The Incredible Hulk" #294–295, "Iron Man" #181–183, "The Thing" #10–22, "Fantastic Four" #265, "Marvel Team-Up" #141," Thor" #341 and 383 and "The Uncanny X-Men" #178–181.
"...cosmic entity the 'Beyonder' is fascinated by the presence and potential of superheroes on Earth...
"...choosing a group of heroes and villains, teleporting characters against their will...
"...to the 'Battleworld' planet in a distant galaxy, stocked with alien weapons and technology..."
Superheroes include 'Captain America', 'Captain Marvel', 'Hawkeye', 'Iron Man', 'She-Hulk', 'Thor', the 'Wasp', 'Human Torch', 'Mister Fantastic'...

The first half of 2024 was, to put it mildly, a rough ride at the box office. Ticket sales were lagging way behind 2023 levels, with franchise entries such as "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and "The Fall Guy" coming in well below expectations. Fortunately, things have started to turn around with the likes of "Inside Out 2" and "Despicable Me 4" delivering the goods. But that may all look like child's play next weekend when Marvel's "Deadpool & Wolverine" arrives. Not only because this will be an R-rated, live-action blockbuster filling theaters around the world (as opposed to animated family-friendly fare), but also because this superhero team-up is poised to straight-up shatter records on opening weekend.
Directed by Shawn Levy ("The Adam Project"), with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman returning as Wade Wilson and Logan, respectively, interest for this one is higher than any other superhero movie in quite some time.

Brie Larson made her appearance in the MCU back in the 2019 film Captain Marvel. Although she had been referenced in Avengers: Infinity War, the world had mixed reviews for the actress.

Despite having a stellar performance in Avengers: Endgame, fans developed a certain hatred for Larson. Her recently released MCU film The Marvels was a failure and yet, it seems that the actress has found her family… outside of the MCU.

Back in 2021, Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson filed a lawsuit against the Walt Disney Co., alleging that her contract was breached when the Marvel Studios movie was released on Disney+ and in theaters at the same time.
Apparently, Black Widow had been guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release when Johansson signed on to reprise the role of Natasha Romanoff in Cate Shortland's prequel film. The Fly Me To the Moon star also claimed that Disney was aware that making the movie available to stream would dissuade theatre attendance, but "did so anyway, knowingly and intentionally."
The situation was exacerbated when Disney issued a response shortly after the news of the filing broke, calling the lawsuit "sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the Covid-19 pandemic."
During an interview with The New York Times, Johansson was asked about the lawsuit and her current relationship with Disney.

Scarlett Johansson turned producer for the first time with the upcoming conspiracy comedy Fly Me to the Moon. The actress is also set to make her directorial debut with Eleanor the Great and is even part of the upcoming Jurassic World spinoff. This is the second big franchise she is a part of after playing Black Widow in the MCU.
The actress, who has had a tumultuous relationship with Marvel and Disney since they simultaneously released Black Widow in theaters and streaming, revealed that she shared a text chain with her The Avengers co-stars. She mentioned that they discussed negative reviews and box office collections in their messages.

The Hollywood Reporter is breaking the news that Marvel Studios is now going back to their golden boys, Joe and Anthony Russo, to take on the directing duties of the next two Avengers films. The Avengers is the biggest franchise for Marvel and has been a gigantic culmination of their film phases. The scope of the films has grown into an epic proportion with a crossover nature rarely seen in movies. Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame made an enormous mark on pop culture as they both broke into the list of highest-grossing movies of all-time.
Marvel Studios, who has recently been dealing with a string of underperforming projects and behind-the-scenes drama, was determined to get back on track with the upcoming entries — Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Australian actor Eric Bana had a fascinating professional trajectory. He first started out as a comedian in the comedy series Full Frontal before gaining momentum in his career with the Australian crime drama Chopper (2000). The audience loved his portrayal of criminal Mark “Chopper” Read, but his international breakthrough came with the 2003 movie Hulk, helmed by Ang Lee.

Last year’s San Diego Comic-Con was a subdued event for the MCU, largely due to the SAG-AFTRA strike preventing actors and writers from promoting their movies.
Recently, Marvel Studios confirmed their return to Hall H. While the exact lineup remains a mystery, speculation points to ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ as a major focus, especially with the film premiering that same weekend. Rumors also suggest we may get glimpses of ‘Thunderbolts,’ ‘Wonder Man,’ and updates on ‘Captain America: Brave New World.’
However, as is tradition, Sdcc also serves as a platform to unveil new projects in development. Despite Bob Iger’s announcement about reducing MCU’s creative output, rumors persist about several undisclosed projects currently in the works. Here’s what we’re eagerly anticipating.

Douglass Fake, founder of leading movie soundtrack label Intrada and producer of more than 700 albums of movie and TV music, died Saturday at a Richmond, Calif., hospital after a long illness. He was 72.
Fake’s many credits include the first complete restoration of Leonard Bernstein’s “On the Waterfront,” a lavish 5-cd release of Elmer Bernstein’s “The Ten Commandments” and the debut of several Henry Mancini scores including “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” previously only available in abridged pop recordings.
Among the label’s best sellers were expansions of previously incomplete recordings of such classics as John Williams’ “Jaws,” Alan Silvestri’s “Back to the Future” and Jerry Goldsmith’s “Alien.” Fake also supervised the re-recording of a dozen albums of classic film music including Bernard Herrmann’s “The Man Who Knew Too Much” and Miklos Rozsa’s “Ivanhoe,” “Spellbound” and “Julius Caesar.”

Kevin Feige has been an instrumental figure in the creation of the MCU and the unprecedented success that it has achieved over the years. The studio head has done the impossible by making an interconnected cinematic universe with the MCU and managed to deliver an emotionally satisfying finale with Avengers: Endgame.

Since Deadpool & Wolverine is hitting theaters this week, we figured we would go ahead and list the ten highest-grossing super hero movies ever made, at least so far. We constructed the list using original domestic box office totals and those that have been adjusted for inflation (according to data and synopses procured from Box Office Mojo and The Numbers). So, take a look at what landed on this list and share your thoughts in the comment section below.
10. Captain Marvel (2019) Original Domestic Gross: $426.8 Million
Adjusted Domestic Gross: $502.3 Million
Carol Danvers becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.
9. The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Original Domestic Gross: $448.1 Million

The end-credits scenes have become something of a Marvel Cinematic Universe staple, but perhaps the greatest one of all came about because Robert Downey Jr., who plays Iron Man, thought a very basic line could use a little punching up. Downey was already comfortable advocating for himself and throwing out ideas. He even got the team behind the first "Iron Man" to let him sneak in a bit about a life-changing sandwich. So when it came to the final moment in the first big superhero team-up in the MCU, "The Avengers," the actor had some ideas about how he wanted things to go.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the cast of "The Avengers" and its writer and director, Joss Whedon, revealed that Downey was the impetus for the movie's now-famous and much-beloved post-credits shawarma scene. The scene, which takes place after the final credits have rolled, shows the Avengers...

Scarlett Johansson’s career continues to soar even after her famous stint in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actress returns to making romantic comedy movies, a genre that is slowly making its way back into this time period.

When Marvel’s Deadpool initially premiered in 2016, it was not just about the character’s iconic humor and meta-commentary that captured audiences, it was also Ryan Reynolds’ impeccable portrayal that brought Wade Wilson to life in a way fans had only dreamed of. Well, even after years, Reynolds’ real-life personality serves as a testament to why he is the perfect actor for the role.

Take, for example, when Ryan Reynolds appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show, and blended humor while unconventionally switching personalities, it simply showed Reynolds’ ability to bring out Deadpool’s unique charm. Perhaps, the way his real personality mirrors his onscreen character, helps him embody Deadpool, effortlessly.

The name changing within the Avengers franchise started with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. This was due to the assault and domestic violence charges faced by Jonathan Majors, who was set to play the supervillain Kang the Conqueror. Subsequently, Disney announced that the name was changed to Avengers 5, and Majors was dropped from the project.

The mighty clique of spunky superheroes is Marvel’s pride and the apple of millions of fans’ eyes all over the world. Such is the charm of the heroic saviors with a wit who call themselves the Avengers.

Given how much money the Marvel Cinematic Universe made in its overwhelmingly successful first 15 years, it's astonishing to think how (relatively) little some of its stars were paid. Many felt that Robert Downey, Jr., who played Tony Stark/Iron Man in multiple MCU movies, was indispensable, seeing as his flippant humor and stern heroism were vital to making the series work. His "Iron Man" salary was a mere $500,000, but that number went up exponentially as the "Avengers" sequels rolled in, usually raking it billions. As such, Downey was paid hand-over-fist for his work, sometimes earning as much as $80 million for a single feature. He also received a cut of the profits on certain "Avengers" sequels.
Several of Downey's co-stars, however, earned considerably less. Scarlett Johansson, who played the black-clad spy Black Widow, received a mere $1 million for "Avengers: Age of Ultron." A hefty salary to be sure, but a sight less than Downey's $10 million,...

There were lots of big talking points in the first teaser for Captain America: Brave New World, including some noteworthy changes from the CinemaCon trailer which have likely been removed for one of two reasons.
The first is that Marvel Studios didn't want to give too much away in this sneak peek; at CinemaCon, President Ross was shown asking Sam Wilson to "rebuild The Avengers" and Isaiah Bradley attempted to assassinate the Commander-in-Chief after Winter Soldier-style brainwashing was activated.
The second possibility is that those plot beats have been taken out, alongside the Serpent Society according to social media's many scoopers, as a result of recent reshoots.
We'll have to wait and see, but one key character thankfully remains: The Leader.
While we'd imagine most of you picked up on this (it's pretty hard to miss), the Captain America: Brave New World trailer features not one, but two glimpses of the iconic Hulk villain.

Captain America: Brave New World dropped its first teaser trailer earlier today (check it out here) and, while promo art confirmed Red Hulk's presence several months ago, nothing could have prepared us for actually seeing him in action.
Now, we know that not all of you are comic book readers and that's alright! Even the biggest fans among you may not be overly familiar with General Thaddeus Ross' monstrous alter-ego, not least because his origins on the page are massively convoluted.
In this feature, we're presenting an easy-to-follow breakdown of Red Hulk's origin story, motivations, and powers. We're also diving into what it might mean for his MCU counterpart and the possible debut of another Hulk.

There's a brand new status quo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, courtesy of our newest Captain America. For those who didn't end up keeping tabs on 2021's "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" series on Disney+, it's been a long wait to see a payoff to the tease in "Avengers: Endgame," in which Chris Evans' Steve Rogers officially retired from the role of Captain America and passed the mantle down to Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson. That moment has finally arrived with the first teaser for the next film in the series, fittingly titled "Captain America: Brave New World."
That's not the only noteworthy highlight included in the footage today, however. Among the many teases of high-flying action for the superhero formerly known as Falcon, the addition of Giancarlo Esposito as a mysterious villain, and even a certain Red Hulk getting into the action, the murky politics of this fourth...

The Marvel machine is revving itself back up.
Days after the first look at the upcoming Disney+ series “Agatha All Along,” Disney debuted the first teaser for “Captain America: Brave New World,” the first feature film with Anthony Mackie starring in the title role.
This fourth Captain America film has been long in the works. Initial production wrapped in the spring of 2023 and, recently, it was reported Marvel ordered reshoots in May of this year that added Giancarlo Esposito – featured heavily in the new teaser – to the cast. Tendrils for the film go back even further, however, to the 2021 Disney+ series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” which starred Mackie and Sebastian Stan in the lead roles and was set after the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” when Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) walked away from the shield.

The choice to readapt Bong Joon Ho’s popular sci-fi dystopian was always a heavy burden. Yet Snowpiercer, which jumps to AMC and AMC+ in its final season, proved a unique adventure. Expanding the world far beyond the scope of the train, the series approaches its final season with patience. However, due to fracturing storylines, some of the most popular characters are pushed to the side. For some, the direction of the final season will be difficult to enjoy. Still, with a new group of antagonists and plenty of emotional farewells, Snowpiercer concludes.

Beau DeMayo was fired as X-Men '97 showrunner back in March prior to the show's world premiere, but he had already completed work on the scripts for the second season of the acclaimed animated revival series.
Now, Marvel Studios has hired a new scribe to replace him for the in-development season 3, with Deadline reporting that Matthew Chauncey, who has previously worked on episodes of What If...? and Ms. Marvel, will succeed DeMayo as head writer on X-Men '97.
Chauncey will work alongside director Jake Castorena, with original '90s series EPs Larry Houston and Eric and Julia Lewald remaining on board as consulting producers.
Exact season 2 plot details are still under wraps, but during a recent interview with Discussing Film, Castorena was asked if they intend to hold on to the '90s aesthetic, and if he anticipates the show taking influence from later comic book runs for the second season.

Whether it is Loki or Thanos, Zemo or Killmonger, Marvel villains and anti-heroes have a separate fanbase for themselves. Needless to say, many filmmakers would want to follow the Marvel route when it comes to creating complex villains that would add depth to their stories and Steve Carell’s Despicable Me 4 almost did so.

Is this a photo shoot or a bawdy stand-up comedy routine?
When you’re hanging out with Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy, the team behind this summer’s “Deadpool & Wolverine,” it can be hard to know the difference. Instead of focusing on getting camera ready, the three men are cracking themselves up in a game of “Can you top this outrageous punchline?”
Given that they’re here to sell a raunchy, boundary-pushing sequel to the most profane superhero franchise in history, it’s not surprising that many of the jokes are Nsfw. Take the moment when 47-year-old Reynolds, who stars in the film with Jackman, stands on a chair for a photo with his crotch hovering over writer-director Levy’s head. “What is happening?” Levy exclaims in feigned horror. Reynolds shrugs. “You’ve never been teabagged before?” he says.

Oscar winning actor Robert Downey Jr. has been a part of several fascinating movies. In this list of successful movies, however, his portrayal of Tony Stark in the Iron Man franchise stands out the tallest. But the actor refuses to conform to stereotypes by taking on fresh parts such as the 2009 smash hit Sherlock Holmes. The movie was a huge success.

The massive appreciation of the first installment was rewarded when the makers brought in the sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, with the Iron Man actor reprising his role. Even this movie went on to repeat the success of the first one and brought in a unique transformation of the actor that even Marvel couldn’t pull off.

Scarlett Johansson has been keeping pretty busy lately. After leaving the Marvel-verse, the actress has joined the Transformers and Jurassic Park franchise and has a handful of other films lined up. Most recently, the actress is gearing up for the release of her romantic comedy movie, Fly Me To The Moon, co-starring Channing Tatum.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has had many iconic moments that have shaped the franchise into what it is today. The first three phases did an exceptional job of building intriguing character arcs and interconnecting each story to a climactic event in the form of the last two Avengers films.

The franchise has seen a significant drop in quality since Phase 4 and the underwhelming developments in recent years have not done justice to the brilliance of the first 3 phases. One of the frustrating ones is how they have reduced the Hulk into a sideshow compared to the incredible rage and brutality he showed in the first Avengers.

There is something charming, even enchanting, about Greg Berlanti’s Fly Me to the Moon. For one, the film is set in an era that looks to the stars as the last great exploration with unlimited possibilities. With the help of Shane Valentino’s production design, Lauren Rosenbloom’s art direction, and Mary Zophres’s costume design, Berlanti’s film drops the audience into another time and place.
The other is the relative newcomer Rose Gilroy’s script, an utterly delightful exercise in romantic nostalgia. Along with two lovely performances by Fly Me to the Moon’s leads, Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum (and a scene-stealing comic gem from Community’s Jim Rash), this makes for the type of old-fashioned escapism Hollywood tends to shy away from nowadays.

Marvel Studios shared a new look at Anthony Mackie as our new Captain America last week to mark the 4th of July, and it sounds like we'll be getting another official glimpse of Sam Wilson in action in his first solo big-screen outing a lot sooner than expected.
According to Nexus Point News and Daniel Richtman, the first trailer for Captain America: Brave New World will be released online this Thursday.
If accurate, Marvel will likely confirm at some point over the next couple of days, hopefully with a first look at some footage.
For now, have another look at the recent BTS image below.
The first official stills from the movie were released earlier this year, featuring Sam Wilson equipped with Steve Rogers' iconic vibranium shield, and our new Sentinel of Liberty meeting the now President "Thunderbolt" Ross (Harrison Ford), who will task Wilson with reforming The Avengers.

Disney and Pixar's "Inside Out 2" remains the feel good box office story of the year. After the first half of 2024 made it feel like the sky was falling, with ticket sales coming in far below 2023 levels, this animated sequel arrived to save the day. On its fourth weekend in theaters, despite heavy competition from Gru and the Minions, Pixar's latest has made its way into the history books as one of the 25 highest-grossing movies of all time. What's most impressive is that the movie still has a lot of gas left in the tank.
Even though "Despicable Me 4" had a record-setting, chart-topping debut of $75 million domestically over the weekend (and $122.6 million across its full five-day Fourth of July opening), "Inside Out 2" managed to hold onto the number two spot with an estimated $30 million domestic haul. It dropped just 48% from the previous weekend despite a new, family-friendly animated film entering the marketplace.

The Avengers Original Cast Reassembles for MCU Movie's Lakota Language Dub - Main Image
The original main cast of The Avengers reunited for the Lakota language dub of the iconic MCU film.
Twelve years ago, The Avengers arrived in theaters and it instantly became a box office smash that led the MCU to new heights as it was the first film in the franchise to earn the billion-dollar mark.
It is now also considered to be a superhero movie classic and changed the genre forever as its success paved the way for the dominance of the MCU for the rest of the decade.

Even going back to the 1940s, Captain America always had one of the silliest costumes in superherodom. Decked out in the colors and symbols of the American flag, and outfitted with a shield that looks like a stubborn decal left over from a model airplane, Captain America has always projected a form of patriotic tackiness that reminds one of overheated Fourth of July picnics, mosquito bites, and stale hot dog buns. Captain America was popular enough to survive the 1940s, however, and remains popular to this day.
Indeed, one must admire Marvel Studios for taking a wet blanket character like Captain America and selling him to audiences as something exciting and dynamic. The version of the character played by Chris Evans has, as of this writing, appeared in nine of the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Many now like him again.

There have been plenty of superhits in the vast expanse of Hollywood that went through comprehensive confusion when it came to casting. That was also true with respect to David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which underwent a humungous search for an actress who could do justice to Lisbeth Salander.

While the role eventually went to Rooney Mara who did nothing but an expert job, there were several Hollywood bigwigs who were also in the reckoning. That popularly includes Scarlett Johansson, who did not get the role for the simple error of being ‘too sexy.’
However, at the same time, Succession star Sarah Snook was also close to landing the role, as revealed by noted casting director Francine Maisler, in a recent interview.

High-profile members of the cast of 2012’s “The Avengers” reunited recently to record the movie’s dialogue in Lakota, the language spoken by the Lakota people of the Sioux tribes. The effort was spearheaded by activist actor Mark Ruffalo, who produced the 2022 documentary “Lakota Nation vs. United States.”
“This project came out of my relationship with the Lakota people,” Ruffalo explained. “And it was this fun thing that they wanted to do, where they wanted to take ‘The Avengers’ — this crazy idea — let’s do a Lakota dub of ‘The Avengers.'”
The project reunited Ruffalo with Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans, who each rerecorded their character’s dialogue alongside Lakota actors who recorded dialogue for lower-profile characters.
“I’ve been hearing about the work they’ve been doing to revitalize the language,” Ruffalo continued. “You know, there’s not a lot of people left who could speak it.

After being fan-cast in several different superhero/villain roles over the years, Giancarlo Esposito recently joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in an undisclosed role.
We do know that Esposito will make his debut in Captain America: Brave New World, but despite set photos giving us a pretty good look at his mysterious character, we still weren't sure who he's playing.
Now, we may finally know which character he'll be suiting up as. According to Mttss, Esposito will be playing George Washington "G.W." Bridge!
In the comics, Bridge started out as a member of the mercenary group known as the Wild Pack (later Six Pack), which was led by Cable. He'd later become a high-ranking member of S.H.I.E.L.D. as acting liaison on mutant affairs.
We don't think anyone guessed this particular character, since it was generally assumed that Esposito would be playing a full-blown villain.
