Harrison Ford made his MCU debut in Captain America: Brave New World, a Marvel Studios movie that likely underwent more extensive reshoots than any before it.

We don't know how much President "Thunderbolt" Ross' role changed during those, but it seems The Leader and Serpent Society were the biggest victims of any additional photography. At least one alternate ending was considered for Red Hulk, as the world was supposed to believe he was dead following his battle with Captain America.

However, a post-credits scene would have shown him watching his daughter, Betty Ross, from afar. Instead, the former Commander-in-Chief was imprisoned inside The Raft after taking accountability for his actions.

Variety recently spoke with Ford and asked if Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has "convinced you" to make an MCU return. To that, the legendary actor bluntly responded, "Nope."

Convincing Ford to appear in Captain America: Brave New World was one thing,...

This Friday, Marvel Studios/Marvel Animation releases all four episodes of Eyes of Wakanda, a Black Panther prequel series set in the McU's distant past.

While there's a lot of excitement to see the world of Wakanda expand with this story about the Hatut Zaraze, easily the most intriguing part of the show is Marvel Studios' plan to introduce a new, female Iron Fist (generations before Danny Rand inherits the mantle).

We still don't have a name for the Iron Fist who was first spotted in a new trailer and character poster released yesterday, but Jona Xiao is now confirmed to be voicing the character in Eyes of Wakanda.

The actor broke the news on Instagram, writing, "So stoked to reveal I’m playing the MCU’s 1st ever female Iron Fist! Catch Marvel's 'Eyes of Wakanda,' dropping on Disney+ August 1st!"

Xiao is no stranger to comic book adaptations,...

Welcome back to the vibranium-rich world of Wakanda as Disney+ unveils the trailer for Marvel Studios’ new animated spin-off, Eyes of Wakanda. The show comes from Todd Harris, who serves as showrunner and director, and he said Marvel let him go “hog wild” on the series. Eyes of Wakanda is a collection of short stories from different time periods of Wakandan history, which Harris refers to as “anthology adjacent.“ The new show is set to be a four-episode limited series that debuts just around the corner, now on August 1.

The series will feature the voices of Cress Williams (Black Lightning) as the Lion, Winnie Harlow (America’s Next Top Model) as Noni, and Anika Noni Rose (The Princess and the Frog) as one of the most “crucial” characters. Other cast members include Steve Toussaint, Patricia Belcher, Larry Herron, Adam Gold, Lynn Whitfield, Jacques Colimon, Jona Xiao, Isaac Robinson-Smith, Gary Anthony Williams,...

The first trailer for “Eyes of Wakanda,” a new four-episode animated series, has just been released. The show is executive produced by Ryan Coogler, who directed the popular “Black Panther” movies. It will be available on Disney+ starting August 1.

This series takes place in Wakanda, the fictional African nation that fans know from the Black Panther films. The story follows the courageous Wakandan warriors known as the Hatut Zaraze.

These warriors go on dangerous missions around the world to recover Vibranium artifacts from Wakanda’s enemies. As the series’ description says, “They are the Hatut Zaraze and this is their story.”

Following its exciting unveiling at Annecy International Animation Festival last month, Marvel Animation's Eyes of Wakanda will be available for fans to enjoy on Disney+ earlier than anticipated.

As we first reported last week, the all-new series, consisting of four episodes, will debut on August 1. Joining the official announcement are a jaw-dropping new trailer and set of character posters, one of which introduces us to the McU's first Iron Fist.

Finn Jones played Danny Rand in Netflix's Iron Fist TV series, but this marks the first time we've seen a protector of K'un-Lun on the "Sacred Timeline," a.k.a. Earth 616.

The new action-adventure series, produced in partnership with Proximity Media's Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Kalia King, follows the adventures of brave Wakandan warriors throughout history. In this globe-trotting adventure, the heroes must carry out dangerous missions to retrieve Vibranium artefacts from the enemies of Wakanda.

The first trailer for the new animated series “Eyes of Wakanda” is out, and fans can catch it on Disney+ starting August 1. This limited series has four episodes and is executive produced by Ryan Coogler, the director behind the popular “Black Panther” movies.

The story takes place in Wakanda, the same fictional home of Black Panther that Coogler’s Marvel films have explored in depth. The series follows the fearless Wakandan warriors known as the Hatut Zaraze as they travel the world on dangerous missions.

Their goal is to recover powerful Vibranium artifacts that have fallen into the hands of Wakanda’s enemies. As the series unfolds, viewers get to see these heroes’ thrilling adventures and learn more about Wakanda’s rich history.

Marvel Studios' most recent film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has arrived in movie theaters all around the world. The 37th installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's already looking like it's going to be one of this year's biggest movies, which isn't surprising when you consider the franchise, star-power, and the fact that Marvel's First Family are well-known in their own right.

The film brings the iconic quartet of superheroes back to the silver screen for their third big-budget kick-off, but this is the first time their adventures have taken place within the MCU. Clearly, they are all the better off for it, as the film has quickly become the best-reviewed Fantastic Four movie yet.

Director Matt Shakman accomplished something of beauty with this one. He also took some time to feature some important dedications during the end credits of the film - including a nod to comic book...

More smelling salts at the box office this weekend, which will continue to wake up audiences from superhero fatigue as Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps is looking to do between $190 million-$210 million around the world. This comes in the wake of DC Studios’ success with James Gunn’s Superman, which is soaring beyond $409M worldwide. Also, First Steps’ global start here is pegged at being around Superman‘s $220M.

The international box office projection for Fantastic Four is $90M-$100M, with room for upside, particularly if families lean in given the film’s themes. The domestic projection is anywhere between $100M-$110M at 4,100 theaters in the U.S. and Canada. The movie starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner and Ebon Moss-Bachrach movie has all the galactic powers of premium upcharges, i.e., PLFs, Dolby, Imax, Dbox, 4Dx, etc. Previews stateside start 2 p.m. Thursday.

Captain America: Brave New World opened earlier this year to 46% on Rotten Tomatoes and ended its run at the global box office with a disappointing $415 million.

The movie got caught up in 2023's Hollywood strikes, but was also heavily reshot. All of The Leader's scenes were scrapped, the final battle removed Isaiah Bradley and Sabra, and Giancarlo Esposito's Sidewinder replaced the Serpent Society.

Marvel Studios clearly attempted to fix a movie that wasn't working, but the result was one of the studio's biggest letdowns. Where did it all go wrong for Captain America: Brave New World? Well, according to Kevin Feige, the movie didn't work because it "was the first without Chris Evans."

Anthony Mackie led the cast as Sam Wilson, the McU's new Captain America. Avengers: Endgame ended with Steve Rogers presenting the former Falcon with the shield, but that was six years ago, and Marvel Studios decided...

After years of anticipation, delays, and a change in directors, The Fantastic Four are about to take their First Steps as part of the MCU. Marvel's First Family arrives in theaters nationwide on July 25, just days after the world premiere in Los Angeles on July 21 that will serve as their formal introduction. Sadly, not everyone can make it to California and be part of the blue carpet event, but Disney+ is coming to save the day for everyone who wants a front-row seat to the action.

A new TV spot for The Fantastic Four: First Steps aired during yesterday evening's ESPYs, and while it's primarily made up of familiar footage, there are still some exciting new scenes from the MCU movie.

That includes a shot of the Silver Surfer riding across the water on her surfboard, and Mister Fantastic and The Thing doing battle with Galactus. Neither of them appears to be faring particularly well, though it seems they're attempting to distract the Devourer of Worlds.

Variety has published a piece on The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman, explaining that he was initially working on the next Star Trek movie when Marvel Studios found itself without a director for the reboot (that came after Spider-Man: No Way Home helmer Jon Watts' departure from the project).

Explaining that Star Trek 4 "had stages" and "we had crew...we were moving ahead," the filmmaker added...

“In Olivia’s Mexican hometown, femicide and gender-based violence are increasing at an alarming rate,” notes a description of León’s film in the program guide for Hot Docs, where the film also played. “Upon her return after a long absence, she quickly notices the city walls are covered with posters of missing women. The mistreatment of women is pervasive, and the once-vibrant city is gradually losing its vitality.”

After playing a key role in the original Netflix Daredevil series - as well as Jessica Jones and The Punisher - fans were surprised not to see Detective Sergeant Brett Mahoney return for Daredevil: Born Again.

Mahoney was determined to remain honest in a department full of dirty cops, and even though he was against Daredevil's (Charlie Cox) vigilante methods, he aided Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson in their cases and ultimately came to see the Man Without Fear as a force for good.

Mahoney was instrumental in putting Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) behind bars towards the end of season 3.

Now, fitness coach Naqam Washington has pretty much confirmed that actor Royce Johnson will reprise the role for season 2 of Born Again, which recently wrapped production in New York.

James Gunn's feature film opener to his brand new Dcu is soaring high in theaters, but how does the director feel about jumping from one comic book film universe to another? As Superman racks up rave review after rave review, fans are reminiscing over the Guardians of the Galaxy director's MCU history. Gunn breathed life back into the MCU by writing and directing the most consistent and well-received trilogy in the franchise. Yet, Gunn wasn't safe from his past, being temporarily fired for offensive, and straight-up bad, jokes. The comic book movie king is now flying high at the head of the Dcu, but recently he took some time to recap his rocky relationship with Disney's MCU.

As a guest on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast, Gunn talked about his switch from the MCU to Dcu. After being fired from the MCU in 2018, he and Peter Safran...

As James Gunn‘s Dcu launches with the premiere of Superman, his Marvel days appear to be in the past for now.

Following the director’s 2018 ousting from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, Gunn admitted he “thought my career was over,” but luckily he and Peter Safran were tapped to co-head DC Studios in 2022, opening the door for his next superhero project.

“Toby Emmerich from Warner Bros. at the time came to me. He’s like, ‘James Gunn’s Superman?'” he recalled on the Armchair Expert podcast. “I said, ‘I don’t know, man.’ And then he was like, ‘Well, what about Suicide Squad?’ So I came up with an idea. I went and pitched it. They were like, ‘Yes, let’s do it.'”

The same day, Gunn said he got a call from then-Disney Cco Alan Horn after Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige had campaigned to...

Earlier this year, we finally got confirmation that Krysten Ritter will be reprising her role as Jessica Jones for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, and the actress has now teased her return as the hard-drinking Pi during an interview with Screen Rant.

As you might expect, Ritter didn't get into plot details, simply noting that she is "thrilled to be back in Jessica's boots. There's more story for her and it's really exciting."

"Oh, it's gritty," she added. "It feels big too. The crew's amazing. I've had an amazing experience. I can't say anything, but I love being with Charlie [Cox]. It was as if no time had passed. Like, my first day, I was looking around like we're back. But juxtaposing it with Mia [her Dexter Resurrection character] and Jessica has been really creatively fulfilling for me as an artist and just what a big, big banner year I'm having. I...

Well, it looks like that might be it for Daredevil: Born Again set photos for a while. Showrunner Dario Scardapane has taken to Instagram to confirm that shooting has wrapped on the upcoming second season. Reshoots are always possible, but it will now move into post-production.

When Daredevil: Born Again was first announced by Marvel Studios, it was as an 18-episode series. That was soon broken up into two seasons, though we'd later learn that season 2 will consist of 8 episodes rather than 9.

As for a potential season 3, that's been talked about but isn't likely to be confirmed until Disney+ sees how the second batch of episodes performs.

Here's what Scardapane had to say about wrapping shooting on Daredevil: Born Again season 2:

"And that is a Wrap on Season 2 of Daredevil Born Again. Thank you to all who made this something truly special. Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll,...

There were rumors that Sacha Baron Cohen had joined the MCU as Mephisto even before Ironheart entered production over 4 years ago, but Marvel Studios never actually made his casting official, and still managed to make his debut in the season finale feel like a pretty big deal.

As expected, the demonic sorcerer turns out to be the one who provided The Hood with his powerful cloak, but when Riri Williams defeats her former ally, Mephisto sets his eye on the budding hero instead.

After a sit-down, Williams strikes a Faustian bargain with "The Devil," with her friend Natalie resurrected in exchange for... her soul? That appears to be the implication, though what this means for Ironheart's "superhero" status moving forward remains to be seen.

Marvel has now shared a new look at Cohen as Mephisto in a brief outtake video. We also have a new teaser spotlighting shots from all six episodes.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige accidentally predicted the future when “Superman” director James Gunn first told him he was going to work with DC.

Gunn recalled the prophetic moment during his appearance on this week’s episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast. The “Guardians of the Galaxy” filmmaker revealed how his firing from Marvel in 2018 over some resurfaced, poor-taste joke tweets led to him being hired by Warner Bros. to direct 2021’s “The Suicide Squad.” It apparently all began with former Warner Bros. Chairman Toby Emmerich asking him to direct a “Superman” movie for the studio.

“Toby Emmerich from Warner Bros. at the time came to me. He’s like, ‘James Gunn’s ‘Superman’,” Gunn told “Armchair Expert” host Dax Shepard. “I said, ‘I don’t know, man.’ And then he was like, ‘Well, what about ‘Suicide Squad’?’ So I came up with an idea. I went and pitched it.

Captain America: Brave New World may have gone through more extensive reshoots than any MCU movie before it. The superpowered Serpent Society was cut, all of The Leader's scenes were reshot after his appearance was redesigned, and Sidewinder was added as a new villain.

Those are just a few of the changes (another saw Red Hulk still free and keeping watch over Betty Ross from afar). We've seen promo art showing Isaiah Bradley wearing a costume, but that's now been fully revealed in a photo showcasing the movie's stunt team.

It's previously been reported that Isaiah and Sabra suited up to help Sam Wilson fight Red Hulk in the final battle. For whatever reason, Marvel Studios decided that the new Captain America should go it alone, and Bradley never got his superhero moment as a result.

There must have been something fundamentally wrong with the original cut of Captain America: Brave New World...

Reshoots completely reshaped Captain America: Brave New World, and the Serpent Society in its original form ended up on the cutting room floor.

Rosa Salazar and Seth Rollins were cast as Diamondback and Cobra, and were in the movie long enough for the former to receive her own Happy Meal toy last year. When all was said and done, the Serpent Society became Sidewinder's grounded (some might say "generic") group of mercenaries, the Serpents.

Thanks to The Artbook Collector, we now have a new look at Cobra and Asp, along with a first look at Red Hulk's mustache and beard, neither of which made it into the movie. Rather than follow the comics by having President Thaddeus Ross' facial hair vanish when he transforms—which was largely done to hide Red Hulk's identity—it was explained that he shaved it off during his Presidential campaign.

There's also a shot...

The final three episodes of Ironheart are now streaming on Disney+, and Marvel Studios has shared some new poster art highlighting key moments from the penultimate episode, "Karma's A Glitch," and the eventful finale, "The Past is the Past."

If you haven't watched yet, major spoilers follow.

The first poster features Riri Williams squaring off with the now fully powered-up Ezekiel Stane, who is manipulated by The Hood after winding up in prison when his tech is discovered at the scene of John's death.

Zeke allows himself to be transformed into a living weapon, but still retains some of his humanity, and ultimately spares Riri's life.

Next, we have some artwork depicting Riri's fateful sit-down with Mephisto (Sacha Baron Cohen), who makes the budding hero an offer she can't refuse. Somewhat surprisingly, Williams strikes a Faustian bargain with the powerful sorcerer, with her friend Natalie resurrected in exchange for.

The first look at Eyes of Wakanda, the new Black Panther spinoff from Disney+ and Marvel Animation, is finally here. The series, made up of four animated episodes, is set to premiere on August 27th. Fans now have a chance to see the exciting new adventure through the official sneak peek and images that were recently released.

Todd Harris, the showrunner and director, gave some hints earlier this summer about what the show will be like. Now, the story and characters are becoming clearer. Eyes of Wakanda follows a group of brave Wakandan warriors called the Hatut Zaraze. These warriors take on dangerous missions across different time periods to recover stolen Vibranium artifacts from Wakanda’s enemies.

Captain America: Brave New World underwent significant changes during reshoots, with the Serpent Society left on the cutting room floor and The Leader's appearance completely overhauled after all of Tim Blake Nelson's scenes were reshot.

The idea was to make Samuel Sterns less of a mastermind and more of a sympathetic figure. However, in doing so, his comic-accurate head was replaced with a zombified, brain-shaped...something (which most fans agreed was a total misfire).

Thanks to The Artbook Collector, we have a first look at the many alternate designs considered by Marvel Studios for Captain America: Brave New World. These were first revealed in the newly released "Art of" book for the movie.

Almost all of the designs are better than what ended up in the movie, with The Leader given a comic-inspired costume to go with his enlarged head. Some versions are really out there, though, including one...

The back half of the first season of Ironheart arrives on Disney+ tomorrow, and we recently asked you to let us know what you made of the first three episodes.

The poll results are in, and 1202 of you voted. With 30% of the votes (365), the majority of you felt that Marvel's latest McU-set series was "Good," or 3/5. Next was the most negative option, with 279 (23%) of you choosing "Awful," or 1/5. Very good (4/5) was next with 278 votes, followed by "Disappointing" (2/5).

Finally, only 11% of you (127) picked the most positive option, "Excellent," or 5/5.

Earlier today, Rotten Tomatoes announced that Ironheart is now officially "certified fresh" at 86%, making it the third highest-rated MCU Phase 5 project on the review aggregator.

You can check out a recap of the first three episodes at the link below.

Armor can protect you, but it’s your people who lift you up.

Don’t miss the final 3 episodes of Marvel Television...

The full review embargo for Ironheart lifted just as the show hit Disney+ with its three-episode premiere last week, and things weren't looking so great for Marvel Studios' latest McU-set series initially.

Though it never seemed to be in danger of being hit with the dreaded green splat on Rotten Tomatoes, Ironheart did start out at 68%, and was hovering around 71% for the next fee days. Quite a few new verdicts were added over the weekend, however, and Riri Williams' first solo outing is now officially "certified fresh" at 86% based on 75 reviews.

Fans have not been quite so positive about the show, but it's worth keeping in mind that critics have seen all six episodes (the final three arrive tomorrow).

You can check out a recap of the first three episodes at the link below.

Armor can protect you, but it’s your people who lift you up.

Don’t miss...

It's fair to say that Marvel Television's Ironheart was never one of the studio's most anticipated projects, and even though the recent three-episode premiere did make a few converts, the series continues to be bombarded with a lot of negativity.

Star Anthony Ramos, who plays the villainous Parker Robbins/The Hood, was asked about the backlash to the show during a recent interview, and responded with the following.

“Everybody’s gonna say whatever they wanna say, but at the end of the day we know what we made, and we’re proud of what we made. When you're the first of a thing... well not necessarily the first, but we are different. Hey, at least they're talking about it.

It's worth pointing out that the series has come in for criticism for being too formulaic, and not doing enough to distinguish itself from the usual MCU fare.

At any rate,...

Marvel's Agatha All Along introduced two powerful new characters who are sure to play significant roles in the magical/supernatural corner of the MCU down the line. A mysterious "Teen" (Joe Locke) who was confirmed to be Wanda Maximoff's (Elizabeth Olsen) son Billy Kaplan/Wiccan in the season finale (though it was one of the worst-kept secrets in the MCU), and the personification of Lady Death herself (Aubrey Plaza).

We've seen some early concept art for Wiccan and Death already, and we now have some more alternate designs from the recently-released Art of the Series book.

The costumes both characters ended up wearing in the show were arguably more comic-accurate than anything seen in this artwork, but there are some interesting looks here.

The following contains spoilers for Marvel Studios' "Thunderbolts*."

It's no secret that Phases 4 and 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe had their ups and downs. Since the unprecedented success of the Infinity Saga, particularly after "Avengers: Endgame," it's been an uphill battle for Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, who, in many ways, became a victim of his success. While there have been some standout home runs, such as "WandaVision" and "Spider-Man: No Way Home," the post-"Endgame" MCU has spawned some of the most uninspired entries in the franchise, including the abysmal "Secret Invasion" and "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania."

James Gunn, whose swan song with Marvel Studios came in the form of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," has shared his thoughts on why he believes the McU's woes speak to the struggles of the greater movie industry. Ultimately, a quality script is the top concern, and despite the property's missteps,...

Ironheart returns for its final three episodes this Tuesday, and Marvel Studios has teased the MCU debut of a certain character with a shadowy first look (via Threads).

We're sure most of you already know who we're referring to, but just in case, here's your spoiler warning.

Fans were convinced that Mephisto would turn out to be the big bad of WandaVision, but the demonic villain was never revealed to be the one pulling the strings in Westview. It's since become a bit of a running joke that the character was being teased in the various Disney+ shows (and even some movies) that followed, but - and even Marvel seems to be fully aware that the cat is out of the bag at this stage - the powerful sorcerer is indeed set to appear in Ironheart, and he is played by Sacha Baron Cohen.

We won't reveal how and when he shows up,...

Marvel Studios recently announced that Thunderbolts*, aka The New Avengers, is set to debut in Digital devices on July 1 before hitting shelves on Blu-ray/DVD from July 29, and a couple of the bonus features have now been released online.

The featurette focuses on arguably the movie's most intriguing character, Bob Reynolds, aka the incredibly powerful Sentry, aka the potentially apocalyptic entity known as The Void. Lewis Pullman, who essentially plays three different people, explains his approach to the role, and the video also includes some new behind-the-scenes footage of Sentry in action.

The gag reel is a little on the short side, but there are some fun out-takes, and the clip ends with Julia Louis-Dreyfus improving (presumably) her lines from an early scene.

Whatever you call them... they have assembled.

Marvel's latest Disney+ series, Ironheart, debuted with its first three episodes earlier this week. Though initial reactions were definitely leaning positive, full reviews have been more mixed, and the show now seems to have settled on Rotten Tomatoes with a so-so 69% based on 55 verdicts.

There was never really much hype behind this one, as Riri Williams simply wasn't a Marvel Comics character the majority of fans had been clamouring to see get her own series. A muted response to Riri's MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever didn't help matters, nor did the trailers that were released in the build-up to the show's premiere.

While it's fair to say that anticipation for Ironheart wasn't exactly through the roof, the premiere does seem to have made a few converts. At the very least, a lot of viewers are curious to see what will happen next after the closing moments of...

Jon Watts has publicly detailed why he exited Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps, citing exhaustion from the pandemic-era shoot of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Speaking during a masterclass at Malta’s Mediterrane Film Festival, the director said he was “out of gas” after months of stringent Covid-19 safeguards and delayed visual-effects workflows and felt unable to “make that movie great” at the required scale.

He described the combined weight of safeguarding crew health and shepherding a $200 million production through supply-chain turmoil as “emotionally draining,” adding that the experience left him short of creative energy for Marvel’s first-family reboot. Industry writers note that Watts had just steered the multiversal Spider-Man finale to nearly $1.9 billion worldwide, a workload that dwarfed his previous two web-slinger entries.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and co-president Louis D’Esposito endorsed the decision in a 2022 statement, praising Watts’ collaboration on the Spider-Man trilogy and expressing...

The first three episodes of Marvel Television's Ironheart are now streaming on Disney+, and the show's main cast members have been fielding questions about what's to come in the back half of the season.

The actors have mostly kept things pretty vague up until now, but when asked about a major cameo in an upcoming episode during an interview with Et, Dominique Thorne (Riri Williams) and Anthony Ramos (The Hood) were surprisingly forthcoming about a certain long-awaited MCU debut.

“We know how much the fans, and how long the fans, have been waiting for that," said Thorne. "For it to be in this show that they get him, let's go.”

“He's one of the elite actors of our time, too,” added Ramos.

This is probably as far as the interviewer and the actors were willing to go without actually naming the character, but we're pretty sure the majority of...

Before Zeke Stane steps into the limelight as the main villain in Ironheart, it’s worth noting he already had a major Marvel moment over a decade ago. In Iron Man: Rise of Technovore (2013), a Japanese anime film by Madhouse, Stane played the central antagonist, going head-to-head with Tony Stark in a high-tech showdown. Directed by Hiroshi Hamasaki and penned by Brandon Auman, the movie followed Stark’s pursuit of a biotechnological terror.

With Matthew Mercer voicing Iron Man and Norman Reedus as the Punisher, this lesser-known Marvel anime offered fans a unique, stylized glimpse into Stane’s villainy long before the MCU picked him up.

Updated, June 25: A fourth trailer for Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four: The First Steps has arrived.

Right as the quartet is about to take the stage on The Ted Gilbert Show, which we’ve seen in previous clips, they get alerts on their retro wristbands. The same alert comes as they are about to sit down to dinner. Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer then floats out of the darkness to “herald his beginning” meaning Galactus.

There are also several attempts in the clip to get The Thing to say “It’s clobberin’ time!” which he repeatedly asserts is from the comics and not something he likes to say.

Previous, April 17: Featuring a “retro-futuristic, 1960s vibe” – and apparently a new addition to what Marvel calls its First Family – the new trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps has just dropped from Marvel Studios.

The clip introduces Reed Richards/Mister...

With one month to go until the film’s release on July 25, Marvel Studios has released the final trailer and a new poster for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

In the film, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing are joined by H.E.R.B.I.E., the Silver Surfer, and planet-eating cosmic being Galactus in a retro-futuristic thrill-ride.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family — Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) as they face their most daunting challenge yet.

Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer...

The first three episodes of Marvel's Ironheart are now streaming on Disney+, and we have a brand-new trailer for the latest MCU series featuring plenty of footage from the back half of the season.

Spoilers follow.

At the end of the third episode, Riri Williams was forced to leave John, the criminal cousin of Parker Robbins, aka The Hood, behind to die in order to maintain her cover. During their battle, Riri drops a piece of Joe McGillicuddy's tech, which is sure to lead the cops right to her new ally's door.

As we now know, Joe is actually the son of Iron Man baddie Obadiah Stane. In the comics, Ezekiel "Zeke" Stane augments his own body with hyper-advanced bionics that allow him to innately wield many of the same abilities as Iron Man.

In the new trailer below, we see Williams facing-off against a mysterious foe who can seemingly...
