Cassie Lang—a character last seen in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania—is returning for Avengers: Doomsday. The film is being positioned as a massive, multiverse-spanning event. Earlier casting announcements of legacy characters, and Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a different character, sparked some discussion online.

James Gunn called fans “racists” in a recent interview while admitting that he has no oversight from WB on DCU projects.
James Gunn seemingly can’t help himself. The man who was hired to “save” DC has instead made himself its unofficial mascot — and not in a good way. Every announcement, every casting, every costume reveal, every social media fight… there he is. Gunn has wedged himself into every facet of the DCU, and audiences are starting to notice.
There’s no denying that anime is on the rise at the global box office. But just how fast it’s climbing remains a matter of debate—and sometimes, outright confusion. Starting Sunday afternoon, fan accounts were proclaiming that by its third weekend in U.S. theaters, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle had a higher worldwide total than Superman managed in its entire theatrical run.
Lucasfilm’s next theatrical entry in the galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: Starfighter, is now filming with a release date locked for 2027. The movie is being helmed by Shawn Levy, best known for Deadpool & Wolverine, with a cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Amy Adams, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, and more. With excitement building, one question has already sparked fan speculation: could the Starfighter movie return to the lush and iconic Star Wars prequel world of Naboo?
Just when it seemed like the damage from James Mangold’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny couldn’t look any worse, a new report from Forbes’ Caroline Reid has confirmed that Disney’s spending on the film ballooned past the $400 million mark.

Even though Man of Tomorrow, James Gunn’s follow-up to this year’s Superman, won’t fly into theaters until summer 2027, the writer/director is already drawing comparisons between the two films. In his appearance on the Ringer-Verse podcast he said that Superman “is more comic booky in some ways,” than the Superman/Lex Luthor duality he wants to explore in the next movie.
James Mangold has just inked a major deal with Paramount Pictures to develop, direct, and produce feature films for the studio. It’s a career win for Mangold, but the news comes with ripple effects—particularly for Lucasfilm. The director was announced last year as the creative force behind Dawn of the Jedi, a Star Wars project that was supposedly set to explore the origins of the Force.
The galaxy far, far away may be headed in a direction few fans ever expected. According to a new rumor, Starfighter—the upcoming Star Wars film from Shawn Levy starring Ryan Gosling and Amy Adams—may revolve around Mara Jade from the Expanded Universe (EU) attempting to get Luke Skywalker’s son to none other than…Rey.
Just as Universal Pictures begins the delicate rollout for its high-stakes blockbuster Wicked: For Good, Ariana Grande decided to launch into a political tirade against President Trump and his supporters. The timing couldn’t be worse.
James Gunn’s Superman released back in July, and while audiences praised the action and visuals, one subplot has sparked unending controversy. The film introduces Boravia, a fictional U.S. ally that launches an invasion of its weaker neighbor, Jarhanpur. For many viewers, the parallels drawn by James Gunn to Israel and Palestine were immediate. Yet Gunn has brushed off the comparison, laughing at the idea and insisting that he completed the script “before the conflict began.”
Los Angeles Comic Con introduced a digital recreation of Marvel legend Stan Lee this month — an AI-powered hologram designed to let fans interact with him in a “safe, authentic” way. Organizers described the project as a way to “extend Stan’s legacy” and provide “a new entry point into the Marvel universe.” But during its debut, the construct delivered a response about the X-Men that immediately sparked pushback.
