For a while now, the status of Marvel’s next Avengers movie has been in flux. Back in July 2022, Kevin Feige announced that the Multiverse Saga would offer up two major hero team-up movies: Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, and Avengers: Secret Wars. But in the wake of underperforming Phase 4 movies, and Jonathan Majors being dropped as Kang after an assault conviction, the plan changed – The Kang Dynasty is no more, Shang-Chi’s Destin Daniel Cretton stepped down from directing to focus on Shang-Chi 2 instead, and little has moved since then.
Until now. Because, according to Deadline, Marvel is eyeing up Shawn Levy as the man to next assemble the Avengers on screen. The filmmaker is currently hard at work in the final stages of Deadpool & Wolverine, which is gearing up to be a real big box office win – and, as a result, Marvel Studios is said to be keen...

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
Sure, Ronan was taken down by a dance-off, but that doesn’t change the fact that he was once one of the most powerful Kree. His strength mainly came from the Universal Weapon and later the Power Stone. So, he might not make my top 10 list, but the fans have spoken!
9. Ebony Maw
Unlike other members of the Black Order, Ebony Maw didn’t possess extraordinary physical abilities. Thanos valued him for his cunning mind,...

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.

Well, the Marvel Studios are moving on without him and there are a handful of actors who are fan favorites and are well-suited to fill in Jonathan Majors’ shoes. One such name is Luke James, a singer and actor who recently starred in Them: The Scare. While he could make a good Kang, he himself withdrew his name from the running.

Kang the Conqueror first appeared in MCU’s ‘Loki’ Season 1, portrayed by Jonathan Majors as He Who Remains. Since then, the character has appeared in various forms, with the latest being Victor Timely in Loki Season 2.
However, Majors’ career faced a setback when he was arrested and later found guilty of third-degree assault. As a result, he was fired from Disney, leaving the role of Kang the Conqueror open for other actors.
We’ve previously mentioned candidates such as Colman Domingo and John David Washington for the role, but it seems another actor was offered the part of Kang and turned it down. In a recent interview with The Direct, Luke James revealed that he declined the role of Kang but expressed keen interest in portraying another character within the MCU.
“Marvel as a whole? Yes. Kang the Conqueror? No. But I wouldn’t not not take the meeting. There are so many brilliant characters,...

Kang the Conqueror was technically introduced in ‘Loki’ Season 1, played by Jonathan Majors as He Who Remains, since then the character appeared as several variants, the latest one being Victor Timely in Loki season 2.
Since then, Majors’ career took a huge hit when he was arrested and subsequently found guilty of third-degree assault, he was fired from Disney and the role of Kang the Conqueror was up for grabs.
We already reported on several candidates for the role like Colman Domingo and John David Washington, but apparently, one more name was offered the role of Kang and he notably said no. In his recent interview with The Direct Luke James admitted that he passed on the role of Kang but he is absolutely interested in playing another character within the MCU:

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

Marvel Studios may have finally found a director for the next Avengers movie.
According to both Deadline and THR, Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy is in talks to helm the project, which was formerly known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty prior to the departure of Jonathan Majors as the villainous Kang the Conqueror.
The studio reportedly offered Levy the gig in mid-March, but he turned it down at the time as he was still putting the finishing touches on Deadpool and Wolverine and was also working on the final season of Stranger Things.
Apparently, Marvel's decision to "push the film by several months" opened the window of opportunity, and negotiations are now underway.
It sounds like this if far from a done deal, however. Levy is said to have been given the latest script by Michael Waldron, but has not given an answer on whether he will definitely come aboard,...

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

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

Back in the day — when the MCU was launching careers instead of killing them — Tom Hiddleston had a major breakthrough with his Loki performance in Avengers. The infamous God of Mischief became a much larger character than planned, now even having an entire TV show all for himself, and Hiddleston has massively profited from portraying Loki… But not every part of the journey was to the star’s liking.
Loki’s Iconic Scene Was Humiliating for Hiddleston
In The Avengers, one of Marvel’s best movies ever, Tom Hiddleston makes his first major appearance in the franchise. As the God of Mischief, he’s the main antagonist in this installment and consequently, has to deal with the entire Avengers team which doesn’t go too well for him… Especially, when he pisses off the Hulk and the latter smashes him around the room violently for a good minute.
“I felt insane and foolish.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 introduced the "original" Guardians, with a team comprised of Sylvester Stallone as Stakar Ogord, Ving Rhames as Charlie-27, Michelle Yeoh as Aleta Ogord, Miley Cyrus as Mainfraime, and Michael Rosenbaum as Martinex.
When the sequel was released in 2017, the expectation was that filmmaker James Gunn would oversee a slate of cosmic projects for Marvel Studios, creating a Marvel Cosmic Universe.
While it's never been clear how far along those plans got, they were halted when Disney parted ways with Gunn after past comments on social media caught up with him. He eventually returned to helm Vol. 3, but quickly parted ways with the franchise to take charge of DC Studios and the Dcu.
Rosenbaum is good friends with Gunn and fans hoped Martinex might take on a bigger role in the threequel or even a Ravagers-led potential spin-off. Unfortunately, the Smallville alum's role...

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.

“Let’s not make ’em laugh” seems to be the new mantra for rewarding comedies at the Emmys.
Clear-cut, humor-filled chuckle fests once dominated the Emmys for comedy series, with classics such as “Taxi,” “The Golden Girls,” “Friends” and “Seinfeld” amusing generations of fans and finding new life via reruns and streaming services.

The Russo Brothers, Anthony, and Joseph, are two of the most successful filmmakers of recent years and have been involved in some of the most successful Marvel iterations till date. This also includes 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, which resulted in a triumphant send-off for the director duo from the MCU, garnering almost $2.8 billion worldwide.

What’s more, back when the Russo Brothers were part of the MCU, it was effectively a golden bird for Marvel. Avengers: Endgame was the second-last movie of the MCU’s Phase III, and there has been considerable stagnancy ever since. Be it in the form of narrative problems, dwindling box office returns, or repetitive storytelling, there are simply a number of reasons why fans have not been as impressed with Marvel’s offerings over the past few years.

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

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.

Avengers: Endgame is one of the greatest Marvel movies ever to be made. Not only did it perfectly bring together all the different characters in one space without feeling like clutter, but presented a conclusive end to the decades-long saga. Just when all hope seemed lost, the movie proved that there is always a bigger picture hidden in plain sight and that one only needs to look for it.

In the case of Endgame, our heroes traveled back in time to find the lost hope. An exceptionally thrilling narrative that allows us to revisit some of our favorite moments, it was actually one Harry Potter book/movie that inspired the writer to introduce the time heist in the MCU.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is big and expansive and has been around since Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man bounded into our screens in his flying suit. Now, after more than a decade in business, Marvel Studios seems to be in a slump, as their last few projects have not made the audiences very happy. But fans are still holding in to hope that the coming projects will fare better than the previous ones.

If you thought "Loki" season 2 was confusing, you're not alone: the cast of the Marvel show probably did too, thanks to some purposeful misdirection – or, as executive producer Kevin Wright explained it to Marvel.com, outright lying – that went on behind the scenes during a key moment in production.
The lies in question related to episode 4 of the show's second season, a complicated, climactic chapter that features several key power changes and plenty of mortal peril. In it, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) "prunes" a version of himself from the past, and Brad Wolfe (Rafael Casal) is compelled to prune Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), too. The episode ends with the group of timeline-hoppers trying to enact their master plan to save the universe: Victor Timely (Jonathan Majors) steps outside of the Tva's headquarters, attempting to fix the out-of-control Temporal Loom that's threatening to destabilize. Only, it doesn't work: Timely explodes into ribbons of spaghetti-like material,...

When Loki debuted in 2021, fans were introduced to Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), the variant whose exploits lead the God of Mischief (Tom Hiddleston) deeper into the depths of the Time Variance Authority (Tva) and the conspiracy behind its ruler. As Season 1 unfolded, Sylvie sought to unleash free will, eliminating the forces that tear variants away from their timelines and loved ones as she had been when she was a child. When viewers pick back up with Sylvie in Season 2, she’s doing her best to move on, but even time and a new life set in 1980s Oklahoma isn’t enough to help her escape the past. When Loki and Mobius (Owen Wilson) come crashing back into her life, Sylvie finds herself compelled to help them solve the Tva’s meltdown, which was seemingly sparked by her killing of He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) in Season 1. Ultimately, by the end,...

Laura Karpman brought choral sounds into Season 2 of “What If…?” while Natalie Holt re-established the “Loki” theme for the series’ second season. The Newton Brothers entered the Marvel universe by scoring “X-Men ’97,” and Kris Bowers dives into “Secret Invasion.” These are among the composers of Marvel
TV shows vying for Emmy consideration.
Despite telling different stories, each composer worked to bring a score that felt big, epic and exciting — exactly what fans and audiences expect from a Marvel TV show.
Holt knew Season 2 of “Loki” would be darker and that the titular character (Tom Hiddleston) ascending to the throne and becoming a brand-new god. “I knew where it was heading at the end of Episode 6, so I had this idea of an old Norse choir calling him to his faith,” she says.

Arguably the most popular video game voice actor out there, Troy Baker has one of the most unique portfolios in the industry. On one hand, he has starred in epic video-game series such as The Last of Us, Uncharted, and Death Stranding.
On the other, he has voiced characters such as The Batman, Joker, Hawkeye and even Loki in various media forms. The Joel Miller of The Last of Us video game franchise, Baker was also involved in the TV series and played the minor role of James. While the leading role eventually went to Pedro Pascal, who did as good a job as one can expect, the Chilean superstar was not Baker’s first choice for the role.

The Mandalorian star Giancarlo Esposito recently confirmed he's been cast in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He didn't give much away, but told fans at a convention that "It's a role you won’t predict" and confirmed, "It will be teased and there will be a series afterwards."
The actor has long been a fan-favourite choice to play Professor X or Doctor Doom (among others) and it seems his mystery character is neither of them.
According to Murphy's Multiverse, Esposito will make his MCU debut in 2025's Captain America: Brave New World.
The site reminds us that much of the movie was shot in 2023 before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes halted production. During the downtime, Marvel Studios executives decided The Falcon and The Winter Soldier follow-up needed an overhaul and writer Matthew Orton was enlisted to pen scenes for extensive reshoots.

The line-up for the new series of Variety’s Actors On Actors has been revealed, with high profile movie performers interviewing each other.
Variety’s Actors On Actors is one of the most delightful series you can watch as a film fan. The central conceit is that two actors sit down for a natter about their work, often going off on tangents, acting as a unique insight into the industry.
Generally, the pairings are quite surprising, with the actors concerned often never having worked together and, in some cases, seeming quite random, but each one is fascinating and, usually, an absolute hoot. You can see Kate Winslet shooting the breeze with Gary Oldman, for example, or Beanie Feldstein with Florence Pugh – we are still waiting for Jason Statham to make an appearence.

Much of it was in the writing and the direction, but mostly, it was about the dynamic between the title character, played by Tom Hiddleston, and Loki’s multiverse doppelganger, Sylvie, portrayed by Di Martino herself.

Avengers 5 was originally titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. However, the movie lost that shortly after Marvel Studios decided to take the focus off Kang the Conqueror (a reaction to Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania's mixed reviews and Jonathan Majors' firing).
While there have been some pretty reliable Doctor Doom rumours, a new actor is expected to play a Kang Variant who serves as the Multiverse Saga's main threat. Meanwhile, Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron is overhauling Avengers 5's script after Jeff Loveness first took a crack at it.
He was supposedly fired from the project shortly after the Ant-Man threequel flopped, while Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton left the movie to focus on Wonder Man and the Shang-Chi sequel.
Scooper @MyTimeToShineH has shared an update on Avengers 5 today, claiming that pre-production begins next month.
