A combination of Jonathan Majors' firing and the tepid response to Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania has led to Marvel Studios changing its plans for Kang the Conqueror.
While the time-travelling villain and his many Variants are still expected to factor into the Multiverse Saga, it's thought he'll be replaced or at least joined by one or more threats to the Multiverse. The question is, who will that be when Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars roll around?
In this feature, we're taking a look at the most intriguing possibilities. From those who can stand alongside Kang to the baddies who might just usurp him as the Multiverse's greatest threat, we think you'll have fun seeing who we've singled out.

Marvel Studios, back in 2014, leaped into its most ambitious and cash-guzzling gamble yet as James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy rolled out and played on the big screens. Consisting of a rag-tag group that even had a talking raccoon and a tree life-form, the movie brought about surprising success and kick-started one of the most iconic MCU franchises.
Riding on a unique mix of humor, grit, and a plot that took audiences across every nook and cranny of deep space, the mega project initially set off a bigger quest for landing its actors.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has undoubtedly noticed a slump in quality post Avengers: Endgame. Most new heroes introduced to replace the Og ones did not work well among fans. While heroes like Shang-Chi and Moon Knight shone, She-Hulk was highly criticized by fans worldwide.
According to new reports, She-Hulk may return to the MCU in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World. As if the film was already into enough complications with its several reshoots, this report has disappointed the fans on a different level.

God of War has given us some epic boss battles and fights over the years. And our man, Kratos, seemingly comes out unscathed. Well, at least plot-armor-wise. Player-wise, however, The Valkyrie Queen might have made some of us cry, or even rage quit.

But it does beg the question, doesn’t it? How long can old man Kratos carry on, and is his end in sight? That may be for Santa Monica to answer in their next outing, whenever that is (We will be seated). Though the studio did have plans to kill off The Champion in God of War Ragnarök, we’re glad that wasn’t the version we played.

Marvel Cinematic Universe movies have caught a lot of flack in recent years for the sheer amount of silliness and gags muddling up the various film and TV plots. There's no doubt there are a lot of MCU jokes that haven't aged well, and as the franchise has continued, the quips seem to have become more and more frequent — something that will no doubt reach a fever pitch with the upcoming "Deadpool & Wolverine."
But there was a time when one-liners and wisecracks were used more sparingly and played a crucial role in the success of the MCU. This element of the franchise led directly to the hit that was "Thor: Ragnarok," in which Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige entrusted director Taika Waititi with reinventing Chris Hemsworth's Thor as a more comedic persona. This was due to the Aussie star's penchant for improv, which he'd demonstrated in both "Thor" and its sequel,...

Marvel Studios had huge plans for Kang the Conqueror prior to actor Jonathan Majors being dropped from the role after being convicted of assault, and while the character is still expected to feature in the MCU in some capacity going forward, we still don't know exactly what Kevin Feige and co. have in store for the powerful villain.
Though Avengers 5 is no longer titled "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty," previous reports have claimed that the character will still appear in a greatly reduced role.
Back in January, Deadline's Justin Kroll responded to the rumor that Coleman Domingo was being eyed to replace Majors.
"See a lot 'who will play Kang next' and 'here is a top contender for Kang' comments this week, and all I’ll say is this, don’t expect that news anytime soon," Kroll wrote in an X post. "There will be plenty of Marvel breaks in...

Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy is among his highest-grossing films, whereas the fourth installment in the Thor franchise faced a huge backlash.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe currently has a cloud of uncertainty looming over it after Jonathan Majors’ dismissal. Reports about the fate of Kang the Conqueror come and go, but nothing seems to be solid just yet. There are also reports that other big bad villains, including Doctor Doom, may replace the character altogether in the superhero universe.

Sam Raimi was among the filmmakers who added to the rise and popularity of the superhero genre after Blade and X-Men with his Spider-Man trilogy with Tobey Maguire. The first two films have been considered landmarks that changed the genre, providing character depth and emotion that made the films more than just action spectacles.

However, J.K Simmons’s J. Jonah Jameson makes a subtle Doctor Strange namedrop, a character who would become a major MCU character and a full circle moment for Raimi himself.

The MCU is currently the biggest cinematic universe ever, with 33 movies and dozens of live-action shows. It has introduced hundreds of characters, ranging from humans to gods and strange creatures. Some characters protect the Earth from evil forces, while others seek to plunge it into chaos.
Judging the overall strength and powers of these characters is tricky since it depends on the situation and how they use their abilities. To get a clearer picture, we turned to Ranker, where nearly 7,000 fans voted for who they think is the most powerful character in the MCU. Here are the results.
10. Vision
I was surprised to see Vision ranked so high on the list, while his creator didn’t even make the top 15. But it makes sense. Vision was created by the Mind Stone, and characters with powers from the Infinity Stones tend to rank really high.

The Marvels was released last November to so-so reviews (it has 61% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a dismal $206.1 million at the worldwide box office.
There are plenty of possible reasons why the sequel bombed, but after Captain Marvel made over $1.1 billion in 2019, its dismal performance greatly surprised the majority. While Captain Marvel 3 is likely off the table, plans for Carol Danvers supposedly haven't changed.
According to The Cosmic Circus, "Carol Danvers' role in the Multiverse Saga moving forward has not been diminished, nor will it be toned down due to The Marvels underperforming."
As for what role the hero will play, it sounds like she's devoting her time to investigating the Quantum Bangles, their origin, and whether they're capable of opening a doorway which can bring Monica Rambeau back to Earth-616. Photon was left stranded in an unnamed alternate reality with the X-Men and this very much sounds like the...

Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal of Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was one of the most distinguished parts of the franchise. From the start to the end of his tenure in the movies, he remained constant in terms of delivery, which would make the audience wonder what his inspiration could have been.

Zack Snyder‘s partnership with Netflix continues as the Rebel Moon director follows up his ode to Star Wars and Seven Samurai with a new anime from The Stone Quarry and Xilam Animation. Xilam Animation is responsible for such projects as Oggy and the Cockroaches, Zig & Sharko, and Chip ‘n’ Dale: Park Life for Disney+, all of which they’ve created and produced. Snyder’s new show, Twilight of the Gods, is an anime that he co-created that’s based on Norse mythology. Netflix has now released a first look at the new dark and violent limited series with previously unreleased images.
The synopsis from Netflix Tudum reads,
“In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds, and great despair, Leif (Stuart Martin), a mortal king, is saved on the battlefield by Sigrid (Sylvia Hoeks), an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love. On their wedding night, Sigrid and...

Movie lovers will know that Zack Snyder is a very divisive personality in the world of cinema, as you either love his movies or you hate them. With Snyder, there is no in-between; his vision is so specific that you will either like it completely and enjoy his movies or think it completely ridiculous and consider his movies a failure. His most recent outing, the Rebel Moon series, has been panned by critics as Snyder’s worst work, but the filmmaker’s collaboration with Netflix is still strong, as we know that his animated streaming series titled Twilight of the Gods will be released on Netflix in Fall 2024, although a precise release date has not yet been given.
But we know that the series is going to have its premiere at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, and ahead of this first screening, Netflix has released the first images from the series,...

Netflix unveiled first looks at a whole host of its upcoming animated shows and features during an event on Thursday, and Rebel Moon director Zack Snyder was on hand to introduce the first footage from his Norse Mythology series, Twilight of the Gods.
“I love mythology,” said the filmmaker. "On a scale like this, I feel like animation was the greatest way to tell the story.”
First announced way back in 2019, it's taken quite a while to find its way to our screens, but we recently learned that the show will finally premiere on Netflix this Fall.
The project has been described as "Anime-influenced," but judging by these clips, we'd say the animation style has more in common with the Academy Award-nominated Cartoon Saloon studio.
“When most people think about animation, they think about Saturday morning cartoons, or G-rated movies,” said the presentation’s host, Christopher Sean. “But animation is...

Netflix Animation held its first slate preview event June 6 at the Tudum in L.A., as a lead-up to the Annecy Animation Festival (June 9-15), where it will premiere Shannon Tindle’s “Ultraman: Rising” (streaming June 14) and tout some of its upcoming works in 2024 and 2025.
Hosted by Christopher Sean (the voice star of “Ultraman: Rising”), attendees were treated to exclusive presentations, previews, and special announcements. The biggest announcement was the full title of Aardman’s next stop-motion feature, “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” which will have an Oscar-qualifying run this winter before streaming in 2025.
Directed by franchise creator Nick Park and creative director Merlin Crossingham, who offered a pre-recorded introduction, “Vengeance Most Fowl” marks the return of the villainous penguin, Feathers McGraw, from the Oscar-winning short “The Wrong Trousers.” The film is a cautionary tale of high-tech gone wrong involving an out-of-control “smart gnome” with a mind of its own.

We mere mortals will be graced with a gift forged in the heavens this fall: mythology, animation, and creator and executive producer Zack Snyder (Rebel Moon). Twilight of the Gods, coming from The Stone Quarry and Xilam animation studios, brings Snyder’s daring and spectacular vision of ancient Norse mythology to life.
In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds, and great despair, Leif (Stuart Martin), a mortal king, is saved on the battlefield by Sigrid (Sylvia Hoeks), an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love. On their wedding night, Sigrid and Leif survive a wrath of terror from Thor (Pilou Asbæk), which sets them — and a crew of crusaders — on a merciless mission for vengeance, against all odds. This heroic story of love, loss, and revenge, is a journey to hell and beyond … across fantastical lands, battlefields fierce and bloody, and wars waged against deities...

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.

Villains are probably the best part of a film these days. After all, they know how to keep both the heroes and the audience on their toes! While there are some villains that win us over by their redemption arcs, others are simply just too much to handle, and Gene Hackman’s sheriff “Little Bill” Daggett in Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven (1992) is one of those who fall in the second group.

The worst part about the character was that while he was supposed to be the film’s antagonist, he never saw himself as one. According to him, his actions were for the sake of good and the betterment of the world. While this may infuriate the average viewer, this is exactly what Clint Eastwood loved about the character.

Yesterday evening, the news broke that Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy is being eyed to helm Avengers 5. Marvel Studios must be pleased with the Merc with the Mouth's upcoming threequel, but the report also featured another major revelation.
Apparently, the movie - previously titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty - will feature upwards of 60 Marvel characters!
As you might have guessed, that got us thinking about who we'll see in Avengers 5. While Marvel Studios has already introduced hundreds of heroes and villains, not all of them would fit into this movie.
So, no, this isn't just a list of 60 MCU characters, it's our breakdown of who we believe would fit into the story as well as which corner of this shared world they hail from. There are bound to be some surprises and glaring omissions which upset some fans, but we think this is a pretty definitive list of exciting possibilities.

In the new Ultimate Universe, The Maker (the original Ultimate Universe's twisted Mister Fantastic) used time travel to create his ideal Earth by systematically preventing anyone from ever becoming a superhero and by establishing a secret council of supervillains.
The Maker's Council rules the world from the shadows, but he's now gone, locked in his own facility, The City, by Howard Stark.
That's left Howard's teenage son, Tony, to take on the codename Iron Lad and team up with this world's Doom (a broken Reed Richards) to set things right. First, they stole the frozen Super-Soldier Captain America from the icy depths. Next, they broke the Asgardian God Thor out of prison and were followed by his warden, Sif.
However, the Maker's Council did not want Iron Lad unmaking the world they had built. Council member Captain Britain confronted the team, badly wounding Thor but losing an eye to Iron Lad.

The MCU has brought over 50 villains from the comics to the big screen. Some were letdowns like Dar-Benn, while others, like last year’s High Evolutionary, were fantastic.
But today, we’re not looking at their character development or clever plans. We’re focusing on their sheer power because not all villains are equally strong. Over 7,000 fans on Ranker voted to rank the MCU’s most powerful bad guys. Let’s see who made the list.
10. Ronan the Accuser

But today, we’re not looking at their character development or clever plans. We’re focusing on their sheer power because not all villains are equally strong. Over 7,000 fans on Ranker voted to rank the MCU’s most powerful bad guys. Let’s see who made the list.

MCU adapted over 50 villains from the pages of comics at this point. Some have been disappointments like Dar-Benn, and some were brilliantly executed like the last year’s High Evolutionary.
In today’s post, however, we won’t talk about the character development of villains or how brilliant their plans were. We’re going to discuss their raw might, as not all villains are created equal. Fans gathered on Ranker, more than 7,000 of them, to rank MCU’s evil powerhouses. Let’s see who made the cut.
10. Ronan the Accuser
Yes, yes, Ronan was defeated through a dance-off but this doesn’t negate the fact that Ronan was at one point one of the most powerful Kree. Most of his power came from Universal Weapon, and later, from Power Stone, so technically, he wouldn’t make the top 10 cut as far as I’m concerned. Still, fans have spoken!

Jonathan Majors was on track to become the next big thing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After his very first appearance in Loki season one, his Kang was all set to be the main villain of the superhero world, someone who was going to put Thanos to shame. However, everything fell apart for the actor when he was accused and later found guilty in a domestic violence case.

Chris Hemsworth may have earned global recognition as an actor through his performance as Thor Odinson in projects from the MCU, but that isn’t the only franchise that has established a fairly respectable future for him in the industry.
While his other projects are one thing, the mastermind Avengers: Endgame helmers seem to have complete faith in one other of Hemsworth’s saga.

Robert Downey Jr. led the Avengers in the Infinity Saga as Tony Stark/ Iron Man for a decade. Following his introduction in Iron Man, he slowly assembled the original six Avengers with the help of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury. Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, Hawkeye, and Iron Man would assemble for the first time in 2012’s The Avengers.

The Avengers is effortlessly one of the biggest fan favorites and best pieces of work created during the reign of Kevin Feige by Marvel Studios. Yet, as much of an utter piece of masterwork as it was with its set of heroes and the most perfect villain, not everything and everyone that filmmaker Joss Whedon had initially decided was included in it.

For instance, when it comes to the villain in the movie, Whedon originally had different plans. Instead of including just Tom Hiddleston’s Loki as the film’s iconic villain as he ended up being, he wanted to bring in another prominent antagonist, though this one would have been from Iron Man’s arc in the comics. However, Feige refused, and that was that.

De acuerdo con Deadline y The Hollywood Reporter, Mark Ruffalo (“Pobres Criaturas”) y Chris Hemsworth (“Furiosa: De la saga Mad Max”) protagonizarán la película “Crime 101”, bajo la dirección de Bart Layton (“American Animals”) y basada en la novela corta de Don Winslow.

Inicialmente, Pedro Pascal estaba vinculado al proyecto junto a Hemsworth, pero debido a conflictos de agenda, Pascal tuvo que abandonar la producción. Ahora, Ruffalo y Hemsworth, que ya han compartido pantalla en el universo cinematográfico de Marvel como Hulk y Thor respectivamente, volverán a coincidir en este nuevo proyecto.

While not many would be happy with Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Thor the God of Thunder, fans are certainly happy to have Chris Hemsworth portray the Norse God of Thunder. Despite the character being fierce and formidable in Marvel Comics, Hemsworth’s version has come close to being more grounded and relatable with an ample amount of comic elements.

With the Multiverse Saga failing to connect with audiences in the way Marvel Studios hoped, none of us were surprised to learn Kevin Feige is thinking about reassembling the original six Avengers.
The Infinity Saga was built around Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and The Hulk. While some of them would almost certainly be Variants, that team is certainly one way to get people back into theaters for the next Avengers movies.
Talking to Josh Horowitz, Hawkeye star Jeremy Renner was asked for his thoughts on getting the gang back together.
"Maybe if enough time goes by, right? I think it kind of has at this point, but also what is the point of the narrative [and] the story?" the actor wondered. "These are beloved characters. We did spend 23 films together essentially as a collective. What is the reason? What is the story? Do you have to do more after that?...

The House of M is a storyline that a slew of fans want to see play out in the MCU. Ever since Avengers: Age of Ultron introduced Wanda Maximoff into the MCU, fans have been speculating how Marvel Studios intended to do the storyline without any mutants being around.

A rule of thumb when it comes to fiction in general, is that if there is no body shown on screen after a character has died, they can be presumed to be alive.

After his blockbuster stint with Marvel, Chris Hemsworth has set his sights on another big franchise. The Thor actor has lent his voice to the now-famous character of Optimus Prime from the Transformers film series in an animated film that is due to hit screens in September 2024. In addition, the actor will also reportedly be involved in a crossover Transformers/G.I. Joe film that is currently untitled.

But his association with the franchise could be a hit or miss commercially judging by the poor box office records of the last film Transformers: Rise of the Beasts which earned the dubious distinction of being the lowest grossing film of the series. It now remains to be seen if Hemsworth’s star power can change this fate.

Portraying a Marvel superhero is no easy feat. Not only do actors have the shoulder the expectations of millions and millions of rabid fans, but they have to try and maintain the physical standards of, well, superheroes. They don't just have to be fit, but have to be unrealistically muscular and lean, which leads to all kinds of intense dieting, harsh workouts, and possibly even steroid use. Sure, they often wear costumes that are specifically tailored to make them look extra ripped, but there are almost always scenes showing off a bit of skin, which means a whole lot of hard work behind-the-scenes.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, "Ant-Man" star Paul Rudd revealed that he had to undergo an extremely restrictive diet while training to play Scott Lang, a.k.a. the titular Ant-Man. That meant eating very specific foods with lots of protein and limiting his intake...

You probably know that Loki (Tom Hiddleston) was the big bad of 2012's "The Avengers" and his role there is why he's still the defining villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not even Thanos can say he got his own TV series like Loki did! It's not just the God of Mischief being in the right place at the right time, though.
"Avengers" writer/director Joss Whedon overhauled Loki, turning the meek sad boy from 2011's "Thor" into a wickedly charismatic megalomaniac. Hiddleston took that change and ran with it, proving he can wield an evil grin as effectively as he can puppy dog eyes along the way. Every subsequent Loki appearance has been trying to meld the two characterizations; Loki's an evil bastard, but he does love his mum and big brother Thor (even if he loves himself a bit more).
Loki (really Hiddleston) holds the screen all on his own in "The Avengers.

In Norse mythology and the God of War, one giant’s strength was unmatchable to the gods of all realms. He was a giant with 8 arms, wielding 4 swords. He was so feared among all the gods that even Thor, the mightiest Norse God, would dare not fight with him alone. Thor is considered the strongest warrior in Norse mythology but his might consisted of trickery and dishonourable fights.
Starkad | God of War Wiki | Fandom
In the universe of God of War, giants were usually considered a peaceful community with immense physical and magical abilities that made the Norse gods insecure. The Norse Gods resorted to politics, to wipe out anything threat to their position on the throne. And on Mimir’s advice, they did the same with Starkaðr.

When it comes to epic new character challenges for Chris Hemsworth, the question isn’t “Can he do it?” The question is “Does he have it in him… to make it epic?”
From “The Avengers” and “Blackhat” to more Avengers and “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” Hemsworth has been chewing through action roles since he was first cast as Captain Kirk’s dad in the 2009 “Star Trek” reboot that launched a thousand IMDb pages. He’s known across the world and throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thor: an ancient god dedicated to protecting Earth and the “Guardians of the Galaxy” IP with a heart of gold and a hammer the size of Rocket Raccoon. Sometimes he’s brave. Sometimes he’s goofy. And shaggy or shaven, the man sure can make a cape and eyepatch sexy.

The making of the Infinity Saga is as big a mystery to the fans as the entirety of Phase Five’s Secret Invasion. The narrative established in the run-up to Avengers: Endgame proved that the level of planning that was required to pull off the two-part grand finale would make the Time Heist look like child’s play. As the Avengers played pretend on screen, the real superheroes got to work to create one of the most visionary and sprawling spectacles ever dreamed of on film.

Hollywood is perhaps the cradle of most controversies today. Despite the push for “inclusivity” on the internet and the film industry, there are some issues that might not sit well with everyone. And we have seen these clashes more often quite recently, as filmmakers and showrunners try to bend fantasies to their view.

Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe met its downfall, it was one of the best superhero franchises that knew how to feature a gripping storyline with high stakes, neatly integrated with humor that was loved by audiences of different ages. The textbook example of this virtue would be Avengers: Infinity War. The 2018 film became an MCU favorite and gave one of the best blockbuster experiences to its fans.

Even though the fate of the universe was at stake, and the lives of the superheroes were in grave danger, as Thanos wanted the Soul Stone from Vision, the superheroes could not ditch the humor. One of the most iconic scenes is the final battle scene, where Thor and Captain America praise each other for replicating each other’s style, believe it or not, was an improv as they were keen on trying different things.

In the closing moments of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Anthony Ramos' Noah, having helped save the day, goes for a job interview for what he thinks is a simple security gig.
The interview begins and it quickly becomes clear that this isn't a normal conversation. The interviewer knows Noah saved the world and promises him that his brother's medical bills will be dealt with as a thank you. Now, though, he needs Noah to step up and join his group because they're in the middle of a war.
With that, Michael Kelly's mysterious Agent Burk hands him a business card and moves a plaque on the wall to reveal a secret base. Noah looks down at the card and it simply says "G.I. Joe."

This summer, Marvel Cinematic Universe regular Chris Hemsworth, best known as the Asgardian demigod Thor, will be heard lending his voice to the animated "Transformers One," the origin story of the friendship turned rivalry between heroic Autobots leader Optimus Prime and the villainous Decepticons leader Megatron. Hemsworth is bringing some star power to the voice of Optimus Prime, who has typically been voiced by Peter Cullen in the classic "Transformers" cartoons and the modern live-action film franchise. But soon, he'll be bringing more than his voice to the toy-based media giant.
