Marvel Studios has had mixed fortunes on Disney+; for nearly every WandaVision, there's been a Secret Invasion, and some shows simply haven't lived up to their potential.
With the likes of Daredevil: Born Again, Wonder Man, and Vision on the way, the future looks bright for the McU's streaming offering, particularly now the studio is scaling back on its small screen output.
You'd think that putting together an Avengers project for Disney+ would be a guaranteed way to bring new subscribers to the streamer and perhaps tell a very different story with the team. However, while we have seen individual members take centre stage, Marvel Studios executive Brad Winderbaum has closed the door on a full-blown team-up.
"I think the Avengers are about, there came a day when Earth's Mightiest Heroes had to assemble," Winderbaum told Cinemablend. "In a feature film, which is a statement piece, it makes sense that...

There is a new fire chief coming to Chicago Fire this season. Deputy District Chief Wallace Boden stepped down as the chief in the season finale last season. He will move up to the Deputy Commissioner position. While plenty of fan favorites are at the station, the show is bringing in someone new to lead the team.
He is also a very familiar face, and the first Chicago Fire preview has shown the first look of the new chief. Here is what you need to know.

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.

Marvel Studios has a wide range of projects in the works, including both rumored and confirmed ones. Some are fresh concepts, while others have been stuck in development for a long time—even before the SAG-AFTRA strike brought the industry to a standstill.
With fans eagerly anticipating the X-Men live-action reboot, new ‘Avengers’ films, and ‘Daredevil: Born Again,’ it’s easy to overlook the projects that have languished for years without a clear release date or significant updates.
Two of Marvel’s most problematic projects right now are the ‘Blade’ reboot, featuring Mahershala Ali in the title role, and ‘Armor Wars,’ a project that has shifted from a movie to a series and back to a movie over more than a decade of development.

Fox’s Accused has added four actors to its season two cast. Cobie Smulders, Vella Lovell, Dina Shihabi, and Isabel Arraiza have joined the crime anthology series for the upcoming season.
In addition, Fox unveiled a short trailer teasing the fictional cases and timely subject matters that will be featured in the new season.
"Accused is a collection of intense, topical, and human stories of crime and punishment. Each episode is a fast-paced provocative thriller, exploring a different crime, in a different city, with an entirely original cast,” reads Fox’s synopsis. “Based on the BBC’s BAFTA-winning crime anthology, each episode opens in a courtroom on the defendant, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial. Told from the defendant’s point of view through flashbacks, the show holds a mirror up to current times with evocative and emotional stories. In the end,...

Marvel Studios has many projects lined up for the next few years, with most moving steadily through development. However, one film has been stuck in development limbo for several years with only occasional updates: War Machine’s movie, Armor Wars.
Armor Wars was planned as a film based on the comic storyline of the same name. It was meant to follow Secret Invasion (which was released last year) and Ironheart (scheduled for 2025). Back in 2011, Don Cheadle confirmed that a War Machine film was in the works and that Joe Robert Cole had been hired to write it.
Nine years later, during Disney’s 2020 Investor Day, it was announced that Armor Wars would be developed as a Disney+ television series, with Don Cheadle returning as James Rhodes. In 2021, Cheadle also indicated that production would start in a few months.
In August 2021, Yassir Lester was appointed as the head writer for the series.

Marvel Studios is reaping the rewards of its cinematic comeback, as Deadpool and Wolverine continues to reel in audiences six weeks into its record-breaking box office run. It's a vastly different story to the franchise's tales of 2023, when two of its three movies underperformed at the box office and one of its Disney Plus shows received abysmal reviews.
Nobody ever expected anything less than a comeback from the Marvel Cinematic Universe considering it is the most successful movie franchise of all time, but it was an emphatic one at that, earning Marvel Studios a performance the likes of which has rarely been seen since its Infinity Saga days.
But still, precautions have reportedly been taken to avoid a similar year like 2023, including a "less-is-more" strategy which, in recent months, has resulted in a lot of uncertainty about a number of the franchise's in-development titles. Now, a new report has added...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has produced hit after hit and, since 2008, grossed a massive $31 billion at the worldwide box office. However, recent years have seen Marvel Studios battle "superhero fatigue" and critics who no longer unanimously praise their output.
It's true that the MCU hasn't been at its best during the Multiverse Saga, though even the worst movie from this long-running franchise is arguably leaps and bounds ahead of say, Madame Web, or the likes of The Flash and X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
That's what makes choosing the "worst" MCU movies so incredibly difficult; none of them have been truly awful, but there are those which, simply put, aren't as good as others. Brace yourselves because they're the movies we're going to focus on in this ranking of the McU's worst big screen offerings.

The mythological dark comedy Kaos is a new Netflix series that could have easily collapsed under the weight of its highly stylized showcase. The series might have even lost itself within its own snide and manipulative, soapy family drama while only dipping its toe in mortal waters with themes the gods would never bother with.
However, series creator Charlie Covell finds something deeply moving and human beneath all of that expressionistic imagery and performances that revel in morally ambiguous roles. Bursting with creativity and a cynical black wit, Kaos is an undeniably entertaining series and a showcase for its star, Jeff Goldblum.

Game of Thrones was a phenomenon in the history of television that reached a point where people did everything to dodge spoilers until they saw the episode. Even actress Emilia Clarke found it difficult to evade questions that might spoil the show.

Cobie Smulders recently revealed that she was not aware of Spider-Man: Far from Home's surprise Skrull twist during filming.
After making a cameo in Avengers: Endgame, the actress immediately made her next MCU appearance in the second Tom Holland Spider-Man movie where she continued her tenure as Maria Hill alongside Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury.
However, during the post-credits scene, it was revealed that the Maria Hill and Nick Fury that we've been seeing throughout the film were impersonated by the Skrulls Talos and Soren as ordered by the real Fury.

Though her time on “Game of Thrones” came to an end in 2019, Emilia Clarke never really left TV. She almost immediately jumped back in with a starring role in Marvel Studios’ “Secret Invasion,” and she has already lined up a starring role in the forthcoming crime thriller, “Criminal.” And as if that wasn’t enough, Clarke is now set to star in another TV series, “Ponies.”

Game of Thrones veteran Emilia Clarke, who famously played the Mother of Dragons Daeneyrs Targaryen on the HBO mega-hit, has a new product in the chamber: Ponies is an espionage drama set in the 1970s coming to Peacock. Not only will Clarke star in the show, she'll also executive product.
What in the world is "Ponies" supposed to mean, you may ask. Apparently it's spy lingo for "persons of no interest," according to the official description of the show. Clarke will play one such Poni (is that the singular?), an "over-educated, Russian-speaking child of Soviet immigrants" named Bea who works as a secretary in the American Embassy. She has a cohort named Twila, a character who apparently been cast yet, "a small-town girl who is as abrasive as she is fearless." Both of their husbands in the Ussr under mysterious circumstances.

Peacock has given a straight-to-series order to 1970s espionage thriller Ponies, starring and executive produced by Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones). The project, co-created, co-written and executive produced by Susanna Fogel (The Flight Attendant) and David Iserson (Mr. Robot) and exec produced by Jessica Rhoades (Black Mirror), previously had a cast-contingent blinking green light, which Clarke’s casting turned into a firm order.
Set in Moscow in 1977, the series follows two “Ponies” (“persons of no interest” in intelligence speak) who work anonymously as secretaries in the American Embassy. That is until their husbands are killed under mysterious circumstances in the Ussr, and the pair become CIA operatives. Bea (Clarke) is an over-educated, Russian-speaking child of Soviet immigrants.

Nicholas Joseph Fury or Nick Fury is one of the most iconic characters in Marvel Comics as well as the MCU. While the Marvel comic book readers loved his cool demeanor, tactical brilliance, and commanding presence, Samuel L. Jackson’s cinematic portrayal made him a household name. However, it must be noted that there is a striking contrast between the Og Nick Fury Sr. and the version of the character that we witness in the MCU.

When the James Bond-esque S.H.I.E.L.D. agent was first introduced in the comics, he was a White man who fought in World War II and was a leader of the Howling Commandos. Later when he became a being called the Unseen, he was succeeded by his son who became Nick Fury Jr.

Emilia Clarke doesn’t prefer getting recognized for her Game of Thrones role in public. She has reiterated many times that she would like to lead a life like a normal person. Clarke made a bold move in that regard years ago when she decided to not have security guards protecting her when she was going places.

Clarke played one of the main roles, Daenerys Targaryen, in the epic fantasy series based on George R.R. Martin’s novels. By the eighth and final season of the show, the Secret Invasion actress was one of the highest-paid television performers with a $1 million per episode salary.

The Skrull’s entry into the MCU with Captain Marvel was met with a lot of excitement, given that it opened the doors for one of Marvel’s greatest stories. However, after Thanos, the franchise decided to pivot into the multiverse, placing Kang as its main antagonist.

As the largest cinematic universe ever, the MCU features a vast array of characters from diverse backgrounds. However, some stand out for their wisdom, and that’s exactly what MCU fans on Ranker set out to determine—who is the wisest of them all. From Thanos, who took extreme measures to address the universe’s challenges, to Vision, an embodiment of artificial intelligence, let’s explore who ranks as the wisest.
10. Thor
Thor is often the butt of jokes about his intelligence, but one can’t be deemed worthy of the Asgardian Kingdom and Mjolnir without possessing wisdom. Thor’s pursuit of justice, wisdom, and a good life is evident, and his worthiness in wielding the hammer is proof of his wisdom. While his character has experienced highs and lows, with many fans disapproving of his portrayal in Love and Thunder, it’s clear that fans recognize Thor as being...

Thor is often on the receiving end of jokes targeted toward his intelligence, but you can’t be worthy of the Asgardian Kingdom and Mjolnir if you are not wise.

The MCU is home to innumerable characters, from superheroes to other, more ordinary individuals without any superpowers. A significant part of its grand appeal, thus, lies in the wide variety of these fascinating characters beyond just heroes and villains. Even the most ‘human’ and ‘normal’ figures in the MCU have their own unique charm, with one such character being Cobie Smulders’ Agent Maria Hill.

A fan-favorite character, the Avengers: Infinity War star sadly said goodbye to the character in MCU’s Secret Invasion series. Since we know nobody really stays dead in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Smulders recently revealed she would love to come back even though she knows nothing about Kevin Feige’s grand plan for the MCU.

Ever since Marvel Studios launched Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the franchise landscape has changed exponentially. It hasn't always been for the better, but it has been a lot bigger, with the biggest change being the introduction of the Disney Plus shows.
The MCU Disney Plus shows produced a lot of highs for the franchise, including the Emmy-winning WandaVision, the record-breaking Loki, and the game-changing Moon Knight, but there were also some lows, such as the critically-reviled Secret Invasion.
It's been years since some of those shows streamed and fans are still holding out hope that some of them will return for sophomore seasons. Some will have their stories continue in various spinoffs (the story that began in WandaVision will continue through Agatha All Along and Vision Quest) but there are rumors of some direct sequel seasons for others, too.
The good news is that it sounds like...

Secret Invasion introduced audiences of the MCU to The Harvest, which had the Skrull going through the battlefield where Thanos fought he Avengers in Avengers: Endgame. Their objective was to collect DNA samples from all the enhanced beings that had spilled blood in the battle, be it Captain America, Captain Marvel, the Black Order, Black Panther, or Thor.

A theory on Reddit suggests that Captain America: Brave New World might carry over some plot points from Secret Invasion, specifically how Red Hulk was created. It is expected that the character will have a different origin story, and could reasonably be a Skrull agent, hearkening back to the ‘New World Order’ subtitle that was scrapped.

In recent years, Marvel Studios has faced some challenges. Since the conclusion of the Infinity Saga, the studio has received mostly “mixed” reviews at best and has experienced several significant box office flops.
As a result, several planned projects have been shelved, with Bob Iger announcing that the studio will be scaling back its creative output in the coming years.
British fans have long been asking for content centered around UK-based characters, as some of the most iconic figures in the comics hail from across the pond. While we did get Secret Invasion, which took place in Europe last summer, the show was (in my opinion) barely watchable and hasn’t been well-received.
There were rumors that Marvel Studios was developing an MI13/Excalibur series, but those rumors have since fizzled out.

Marvel Studios has been enjoying an incredibly successful year. The vast majority of that success is down to one movie, as Deadpool and Wolverine has taken the world by storm. The billion-dollar sensation was the win that the studio needed after 2023 saw it suffer a number of misses, resulting in two significant underperformers at the box office. This year's sole Marvel Cinematic Universe release has made up for that and allowed them to bounce back, but the studio has still been doing some reshuffling to avoid any future issues.
Part of their new strategy has been to reportedly re-evaluate or rework certain in-development projects. This has already led to a multitude of rumors about certain projects returning for second seasons, while other "riskier" projects are potentially shelved altogether.
Now, another recent report has claimed that the studio has indeed shelved another project that was on the horizon.

It has been three years since Kathryn Hahn made her MCU debut in WandaVision, who was one of the better twist villains under the Disney umbrella. While phase four as a whole was underwhelming, as it failed to recapture the heights set by the Infinity Saga, WandaVision was one of the stronger entries in that phase, and Agatha was one of its highlights.
With Agatha now set to receive her own Disney Plus show, Hahn shared an exciting update on the show, which seems to rectify one of the biggest shortcomings of MCU’s biggest TV mishap so far.

Unlike their run on the big screen, the cinematic giant has struggled to replicate similar success on the small screen, despite starting off strong with WandaVision. Moreover, the failures of 2023, which involved She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Secret Invasion,...

It’s no secret that MCU’s Phase 4 struggled significantly, holding the lowest approval rating in the franchise with most projects deemed “mediocre” at best. It’s forever going to be remembered for gems like She-Hulk and Eternals, Phase 5 appears to be on a better trajectory, largely supported by successful projects such as Deadpool & Wolverine, Loki, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
However, it was the disastrous performance of The Marvels that prompted major changes within the studio. Bob Iger himself acknowledged that Marvel will be scaling back its creative output and prioritizing quality over quantity, implicitly admitting the film’s shortcomings.
Recent rumors from Chris Gore, founder of Film Threat, shared via Critical Drinker’s YouTube channel, suggest that in response to the poor results of Phase 4, Feige and other Marvel executives have quietly “cleaned house,” firing producers who could be considered activists.

It’s no secret that MCU’s Phase 4 was kind of a mess. The phase has the lowest approval rating in the cinematic universe, with the majority of the projects considered “mediocre” at best. Phase 4 gave us gems like ‘She-Hulk’ and ‘Eternals,’ and by the early looks of it, phase 5 already looks like it’s shaping up to be better mostly carried on the shoulders of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ ‘Loki’ and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.’ – all projects deemed successful.
We know that it was however the catastrophic failure of ‘The Marvels’ that kickstarted some major changes within the studio. Iger himself commented that they will be reducing their creative output in the years to come, and focusing more on quality over quantity – indirectly admitting that the movie was – bad.

With the Multiverse Saga in full swing, Marvel Studios has been gifting us with some incredible moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From Patrick Stewart's return as Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to the comebacks of both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men in Spider-Man: No Way Home, it's been full of limitless possibilities.
We're seeing that even more recently with the game-changing Deadpool and Wolverine, which brought both of these Fox/X-Men characters into the MCU for the first time ever. And the franchise is about to do it again with more beloved Marvel Comics characters in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which arrives in movie theaters next year.
It also sounds like it could feature one of the McU's longest-standing characters.

"Deadpool and Wolverine” has taken the US and worldwide box office by storm with the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine coupled with Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool proving a mouth-watering match for superhero fans across the globe.
The film, directed by Shawn Levy, features the Time Variance Authority (the Tva) with Matthew Macfadyen starring in a key role as a Tva agent. This organization manages and maintains the various timelines across the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and they originated on-screen in the Disney+ TV series “Loki,” starring Tom Hiddleston as the titular anti-hero. This was one of many MCU shows that fans flocked to watch.
The MCU first dipped its toes into TV with “WandaVision,” which followed Elizabeth Olsen‘s Scarlet Witch as she tried to bring back Paul Bettany‘s Vision while stuck under the control of Kathryn Hahn‘s Agatha. “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” explored the legacy...

This past weekend at the annual San Diego Comic Con, Marvel unveiled their big plans for the remainder of the Multiverse Saga. From a sneak peek of upcoming films like Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*, to an in-development presentation of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, to the announcement that Robert Downy Jr. will portray the villain Doctor Doom in Avengers 5 & 6.
However, there were a few noticeable absences, including, but not limited to, the upcoming Blade reboot, the Eyes of Wakanda series, the Ironheart series, and the Daredevil: Born Again series. But perhaps one of the biggest absentees was the Armor Wars movie.
Originally announced as a series for Disney+ in the vein of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the Armor Wars show was set to focus on James Rhodes, aka War Machine (Played by Don Cheadle), as the lead protagonist. Following the revelations made in Secret Invasion,...

Great Scott! With every new bit of Nobody 2 news, things just keep looking better and better for Universal and 87North's upcoming action thriller. Just last week, we shared the exciting announcement that Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone is set to play the lead villain in Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto's (The Night Comes For Us) eagerly anticipated sequel. And before that, we got confirmation that Bob Odenkirk is getting ready to rock and roll once again as assassin-turned-family-man-turned-assassin-again Hutch Mansell in the geriaction flick follow-up. Now, per Deadline's reporting, we know that Back To The Future legend Christopher Lloyd will be back as Hutch's shotgun-toting, retired FBI agent father David Mansell in the latest Nobody joint.
Hot on the heels of scoring an Emmy nomination for his role as Larry Arbuckle in Prime Video dramedy Hacks, Lloyd isn't the only Mansell family member confirmed to be returning in Deadline's report either.

Chicago Fire fans will see a new face at Firehouse 51 in the fall.
Battalion Chief Wallace Boden said his goodbyes during the Season 12 finale, opening the door for some fresh stories.
Boden felt he needed to take a higher position in the Chicago Fire Department to help the city, and that’s exactly what he did.
Actor Eamonn Walker takes a step back from being a series regular to play a character who appears sporadically.
Boden’s character treatment on Chicago Fire is similar to Matthew Casey (played by Jesse Spencer), who is off doing his own thing, but stories can intertwine later.
Chicago Fire fans will miss seeing Boden at Firehouse 51 every week, and change is hard. But that’s what happens on shows that last this long on television.

During the earliest production stages of an animated movie, it is common to begin the process with a series of exploratory paintings.
“They are abstract and loose and just delicious paintings,” says Chris Sanders, the director of films such as Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon, and The Croods. But something special happened during the production of Sanders’ latest film, The Wild Robot, while he was sitting in a meeting and being shown some of these conceptual paintings.
“Someone pushed a button,” Sanders recalls, “and one of them started to move. And the camera started pushing through it.” What Sanders had taken for a painting was actually a finished scene of the movie. “And I cannot put too fine a point on it; I really didn’t think...

As with any late-stage Marvel Studios production, “Deadpool & Wolverine” arrives with some accompanying homework. These movies aren’t merely standalone adventures, they are plugged into a larger framework of interconnected movies, television shows, sequels and spin-offs.
This is truer now than before, since Disney completed its absorption of 21st Century’s assets in 2019. That means that the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which was previously off-limits to both Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds again) and Wolverine, is fair game and that they have access to virtually every Marvel character.
But what should you actually watch before you see Deadpool and Wolverine team-up for their cross-universe romp? We can help, but this probably constitutes a light spoiler warning. As you can probably imagine, there are a ton of fun cameos from other parts of the MCU (and beyond). We won’t spoil those, but we will allude to more concrete callbacks that will greatly...

On the anniversary of Margot Robbie’s record-breaking Barbie, another film is set to conquer the box office with insane projections by industry experts. Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine will see both him return as Deadpool after six years and Hugh Jackman return as Wolverine after retirement.
The film is reportedly projected to earn a smashing opening of $360 million worldwide. This is the first MCU film to release since the box office disaster The Marvels, which had a terrible $206 million collection in its lifetime. The most-anticipated movie of the year might just wake Marvel up from its slump.

Last month, we brought you the news that Bob Odenkirk is set to reprise his role as government-assassin-turned-family-man-turned-assassin-again Hutch Mansell in Nobody 2, with Indonesian action-horror filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto aboard to direct. And now we know who our man Hutch will be putting his, er, Basic Instinct to the test against in the follow-up to Ilya Naishuller's 2021 geriaction romp. Per THR's reporting, Oscar-nominated Hollywood icon Sharon Stone is set to star opposite Odenkirk as the shadowy new big-bad in the sequel.
Plot details on Nobody 2 remain firmly under wraps for the time being, but we do know Derek Kolstad (John Wick), Aaron Rabin (Secret Invasion), Umair Aleem, and Odenkirk himself are all on writing duties for this one, with 87North super-duo Kelly McCormick and David Leitch (The Fall Guy) among the movie's producers.

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.
