    Robert Downey Jr.'s return to the MCU as Doctor Doom came as a shock not only to fans everywhere, but to the franchise's own stars as well. Even after Avengers: Doomsday confirmed over 20 of the movie's major players among its cast, fans and MCU actors alike still can not get over RDJ's original San Diego Comic-Con announcement.

    In a recent interview, the actor for one of the main gods from Percy Jackson and the Olympians (both the books and Disney+ series) confirmed his unsurprising absence from Season 2. The first season of the Disney+ hit did not feature all of the gods who appear throughout Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson novels. It was teased that eventually, fans would meet the rest of them, something which has already proven true.

    Speaking exclusively with The Direct, one Eternals star said they do not expect to return in Avengers: Doomsday and perhaps the MCU as a whole. Released in 2021, Eternals saw a mixed reception with a negative lean. Yes, it certainly has its fans, but it did mark the MCU's first "Rotten" movie on Rotten Tomatoes. According to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, Marvel does not currently have plans for the team in the MCU's immediate future.

    In a recent interview, David Corenswet teased that fans may have the wrong idea about one character from 2025's upcoming Superman. With July getting closer by the day, fans are getting ready to see Superman return to the big screen in the new DCU's cinematic debut. However, there are truly only a few pieces of footage to go by at this point, with the movie still so far off. So, much of what fans have pieced together is still relatively speculative.

    Daredevil: Born Again introduced viewers to a fearsome foe all the way back in Season 1, Episode 1, after hyping up the villain throughout the show's promotion — but it seems likely fans will not see him again. David Mack, the artist who created all of Muse's artwork in Daredevil: Born Again, was behind the mural art featured in the Marvel Studios series on Disney+, with his work also being used in the show's promotion.

Joseph Quinn on his adaptation of Johnny Storm in ‘THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS:’ He's a man that leads with a lot of bravado, which can be an affront sometimes. But also he's funny. Myself and Kevin Feige were speaking about previous iterations of him and where we are https://t.co/Ww9Vi28OEd
