The recent Disney+ animated series X-Men ’97 has been well received by both critics and fans alike. After revisiting the classic X-Men: The Animated Series which originally ended 27 years earlier the Marvel Animated Universe (Mau) has been given a new breath of life. The series has just finished its first season and fans are already hungry for more.
However, one appearance in the recent X-Men ’97 series may give us a bit of a hint about what might come next. In episode 8 of season 1, Spider-Man makes a brief appearance. What’s more is that in Episode 10 both Peter Parker & Mary Jane made cameo appearances, alongside other Mau characters such as Iron Man, Captain America and the Fantastic Four.
Ever since his appearance many fans have been speculating on the possibility of Marvel reviving the Spider-Man series as well. Multiple fans have even taken it upon themselves to make fan art...

Chris Hemsworth received his Hollywood Walk of Fame star today. Instead of carrying a hammer like his multi-film character, Thor, he received a good-natured hammering from his Avengers film colleagues.
Robert Downey Jr., who played Iron Man in the films, was in-person at the unveiling. But before jetting in, he surveyed the rest of the super-hero team for their reactions to the moment.
“I reached out to his fellow Avengers to distill to three simple describing words, ‘What is Chris Hemsworth?'” Downey said to the assembled. “First off, [Jeremy] Renner says, ‘Absurdly annoyingly amazing.’ [Mark] Ruffalo came in strong with, ‘Friend from work.'”
“Scarlett [Johansson] got to the heart of it with, ‘Sensitive leading lady.'”
But Chris Evans came in with the ultimate zinger. “Captain America calls him, ‘Second best Chris,'” Downey said.
For Downey’s own three words, he was sentimental: “Hollywood star recipient.” The two actors then...

Chris Hemsworth received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and his longtime Avengers co-star Robert Downey Jr. marked the occasion with a public roast of everyone’s favorite “Thor” actor. Downey asked their Marvel buddies Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans to describe Hemsworth in three words. Their answers had the audience in laughter.
“What is Chris Hemsworth?” Downey asked. “Renner says, ‘Absurdly, annoyingly amazing.’ Ruffalo came in strong with ‘friend from work.’ Scarlett got to the heart of it with ‘sensitive leading lady.’ Captain America calls him the ‘second best Chris.’ And I’ll bring it to the here and now: There is no one who deserves it more. He is ‘Hollywood star recipient.'”

Netflix has tied up a deal in the $34M range for the John Lee Hancock-directed package Monsanto, we can reveal. The pic will star Glen Powell, Anthony Mackie and Oscar winner Laura Dern.
CAA Media Finance cut the presale after launching with Rocket Science last week. Netflix has been quieter at recent markets but is back at the table with the splashy deal.
This and Apple’s WW deal for Everest sherpa pic Tenzing are the two biggest deals to emerge from the Cannes market so far. The latter is understood to be in the $40M range.
Monsanto tells the true story of young, untried attorney Brent Wisner (Powell), who takes on a seemingly insurmountable case against the giant U.S. chemical company Monsanto on behalf of Dewayne “Lee” Johnson (Mackie) who used Monsanto’s best-known product Roundup, a wildly financially successful weed and grass pesticide killer, as part...

The X-Men '97 finale featured some huge Marvel Universe cameos, including Black Panther. However, we'd later discover that T'Chaka was beneath the mask, not T'Challa.
The decision has perplexed viewers, particularly when T'Challa's father is typically portrayed as the former Black Panther who fought alongside Captain America in World War II. T'Challa being sidelined has spawned many fan theories, with most convinced the decision must be related to Chadwick Boseman's death.
Following the actor's tragic passing, Marvel Studios chose not to recast his Black Panther. Instead, the hero died off-screen in the MCU, and 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ended with the reveal that he has a son, also called T'Challa.
In an interview with Phase Zero (via Toonado.com), X-Men '97 supervising director Jake Castorena was asked if there was a reason T'Chaka was depicted as Black Panther after the short-lived Fantastic Four: The Animated Series featured the...

In just a few months, we will finally get to see Hugh Jackman return to Wolverine, something which he left behind years ago. The actor had no intention to come back to the character that he has been playing for about two decades but when something snapped in him, he decided to join the bandwagon that Ryan Reynolds was on and give Wolverine a second chance.

There are few stories that have come out of Marvel that are as influential as Old Man Logan. There is no doubt, that the company has some of superhero fiction’s greatest stories, but few have the caliber and the complexity of a piece like Old Man Logan, which follows an elderly Wolverine, who has given up the use of his claws after he was tricked into killing the X-Men and other mutants in Xavier’s Institute.

The world of comic book movies stands largely on the shoulders of devoted actors who have dedicated a large portion of their careers to playing famed roles. From Chris Evans as Captain America to Scarlett Johanson as Black Widow, the list goes on. However, in terms of holding on to that role for the longest time ever, no one comes close to Hugh Jackman and his stint as Wolverine. However, despite a staggering tenure of 24 years and continuing, the actor has not evaded the thought of letting go of his character.

Like any good superhero, Marvel Television has returned from the dead. The label is what the Marvel Netflix shows like "Daredevil" and the ABC ones like "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." were made under. Marvel Television was rendered defunct in 2019 after Marvel Studios absorbed it. Now, though its operations remain under the studio's purview, its name is being used again as part of an effort to more cleanly delineate the projects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel Studios will continue to be the label of the films, while Marvel Television will headline upcoming Disney+ programs like "Agatha All Along" and "Daredevil: Born Again." Marvel Animation will cover projects like the excellent "X-Men '97" (which is not part of the MCU), while Marvel Spotlight is for small-scale projects like "Echo" (read our review here).

A role that he debuted in the MCU with way back in 2011 and held for nearly a decade has also earned him a place as one of the best action heroes.

If Chris Evans hated one thing about his role as Captain America, it was the time he spent making public appearances for the promotions. Evans shared that his anxiety made him a less-than-ideal candidate for such appearances. He mostly avoided appearing in shows where he had to perform in front of an audience, which meant he was one of the few MCU lead stars not to host an SNL episode.

Taking to social media to discuss his work on the series, former X-Men '97 showrunner Beau DeMayo revealed that Deadpool was "off-limits" to the team working on the X-Men: The Animated Series revival's first two seasons.
The prevailing theory among fans is that it must have something to do with Deadpool & Wolverine being on the horizon. The show has featured plenty of other big Marvel cameos, though, including Captain America, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange.
Marvel Studios Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum recently caught up with Screen Rant (via Toonado.com) about Wade Wilson's absence from X-Men '97. As it turns out, there's a chance we will eventually see the anti-hero make an appearance.
"I don't know that it was like a hard and fast rule that we couldn't use Deadpool," the executive explained. "We would have had to have an insanely compelling reason to bring Deadpool in.

The legacy of Marvel is embedded in the arc of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans as Iron Man and Captain America respectively and no one cares less about their impact than Christian Bale. The actor who once portrayed an iconic DC character himself – came out the other end branded as a legend who never knew where to start when it came to Marvel.
Chris Evans as Captain America in Civil War [Credit: Marvel Studios]However, with time, even that line blurred a little when Bale was cast to play Gorr the God Butcher in Thor: Love and Thunder – a role that was rightfully inducted while the rest of the movie got butchered critically. As an official entrant into the Marvel universe, it is time to throw Bale under the microscope and study the indifference with which he handled an era of Cbm icons that had such a hold over the entire world for 11 straight years.

‘What If…?’ brought a breath of fresh air to the MCU. Despite the first season receiving mixed reactions from fans, it was successful enough to justify additional seasons and expand the multiverse, drawing inspiration from several notable storylines.
Season 2 was released in an unconventional way, with episodes dropping over nine days like holiday gifts for fans to unwrap.
It’s been rumored for some time that ‘What If…?’ Season 3 will be the show’s final season, particularly following the recent departure of the head writer for other projects.

Marvel Studios being forced to split its attention between movies, streaming, and animation has resulted in the Multiverse Saga being a little messy. Now, they're making moves to fix that and we're expecting a big slate update to head our way later this summer.
As we write this, Avengers 5 is fast approaching and some lingering issues need to be addressed.
With Kevin Feige unable to give every movie and TV show his full attention, a handful of ideas have slipped through the cracks which haven't worked. In this feature, we're touching on some of the most noteworthy, explaining why they need to be fixed or undone as we head into the later stages of this Saga.

Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther remains one of the best-realised versions of the character in recent history. Black Panther is a popular character who has made multiple appearances in some of Marvel’s greatest projects, be it Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, Iron Man: Armoured Adventures, or even the upcoming video game Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.
Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther in Black Panther
The Black Panther which was introduced in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War remains one of the best versions of the character in modern media, one that was expended on with Ryan Coogler’s 2018 MCU entry, Black Panther. One scene in particular demonstrates how accomplished and well-rounded the character is, which is a sequence from Civil War, where Bucky is taking on the unarmed Avengers, specifically, Tony Stark, Sam Wilson, Steve, Natasha, and of course, T’Challa.

While the MCU expands with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, the franchise has one of its biggest movies awaiting an update. The climax of the ‘Multiverse Saga’ is looming on the horizon. The franchise has yet to share any news about Avengers 5, especially after it lost its main villain Kang after the actor Jonathan Majors was sentenced and dropped from the role.
However, a popular scooper has revealed some major updates about the film. The film is set to focus on the ‘New Avengers’ which does not seem to include some Og members of the team such as Thor and Hawkeye. Despite Majors’ firing, Kang still seems to be in the mix and will reportedly be one of two villains.

When it comes to cameos, X-Men '97 has gone all out and delivered heaps of fan-pleasing surprise appearances. However, everything we've seen up until now arguably pales in comparison to the first few minutes of "Tolerance Is Extinction - Part 3."
After Professor X forces Magneto to undo the damage he's inflicted on the Earth (you can read our full recap here), Silver Samurai is once again shown watching over his home before we head to the White House and see Captain America alongside the Invincible Iron Man.
In Hell's Kitchen, Daredevil is stopping looters and, later, gets a helping hand from Cloak and Dagger when the Prime Sentinels are back on the loose.

The idea of bringing back a beloved '90s cartoon like "X-Men: The Animated Series" after 30 years sounds quite like a cash grab meant to exploit nostalgic grown-up fans, but it quickly became clear "X-Men '97" was more than the nostalgia-bait the premiere led us to believe.
Indeed, this is a thoughtful follow-up to the already exquisite '90s show, one that takes advantage of the streaming era's embrace of serialization and grittier stories to deliver a bleak yet still hopeful story about loss, grief, and family. The turning point came during the Genosha genocide episode, which made the story and the characters lose their innocence and open their eyes to the reality of their world. This is a season of television that has delivered some poignant character drama and some thrilling superheroics, all while telling a story with big consequences for mutantkind, but also the larger Marvel universe.

Before Jensen Ackles surprised the world with the most fantastic performance as Soldier Boy in The Boys, fans wanted the actor to take on a live-action superhero role. While the Supernatural star isn’t new to playing a superhero, especially since his role as the Caped Crusader in the DC Animated Universe. However, one role had rumors going about left and right.

Jensen Ackles was rumored to have auditioned for the role of Captain America, one that evidently went to Chris Evans. Once the rumors started flying around, fans were jumping up and down wanting to see the actor take on the shield one way or another.

Marvel alleges an Instagram user illegally posted an image from the unreleased “Captain America: Brave New World” movie — and it has gone to court to try to make Instagram disclose the identity of the account’s operator.
Marvel filed a subpoena request May 7 in U.S. District Court California Northern District in San Jose, asking the court to order Instagram to identify the person or people behind @canwegetsometoast. Marvel alleged that the account “published a copyrighted image from an upcoming Marvel Studios motion picture, ‘Captain America: Brave New World,’ without authorization.” The Disney-owned studio is seeking the subpoena pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Reps for Instagram, which is owned by Meta, did not respond to a request for comment.

If you’ve been keeping up with our publication, you likely know about the multitude of Marvel leakers and insiders online who possess privileged information.
Occasionally, the details they share are fictitious, reflecting personal opinions on the direction of future movies or TV shows. Yet, at times, their leaks are remarkably precise, risking spoilers for projects years ahead.
One mysterious leaker, known as CanWeGetSomeToast, remains unidentified. Operating primarily on X, they even offer a paid leak channel where users can access insider information such as castings and plots for a fee.
Typically, Marvel Studios, and consequently Disney, tolerate these leakers as they inadvertently promote their projects without causing significant harm to marketing efforts. However, there are instances where matters become serious. Recall when the entire script for ‘Quantumania’ was leaked on Reddit, or the even more alarming ‘Avengers: Endgame’ leak?

Beau DeMayo’s X-Men ’97 is a treat for fans who grew up with X-Men: The Animated Series. When the children’s content turned into an adult animated show for Disney+, fans were in for an anxiety-inducing brilliantly written series. The creators also managed to cater to the Marvel fans and bring in a few cameos like Captain America and Spider-Man. But DeMayo revealed that one superhero was strictly off-limits for them to bring into the series.
X-Men ’97 featured cameos from several Marvel superheroes, but one character couldn’t be included in the series
X-Men ’97 could not feature a cameo from Deadpool, despite the X-Men character making appearances in the 90s animated series. It could probably be due to the upcoming multiversal film in the MCU featuring the character, Deadpool & Wolverine.

Look closely and you'll spot a crew member carrying a glove Stan will wear to portray Bucky's cybernetic arm! Having a suit on means he doesn't have to don a full sleeve, something we're sure the actor is grateful for. We also see Geraldine Viswanathan's mystery character.

Even though the leaks were 50/50 at best, several online anonymous Twitter accounts have broken big comic book news in the past, particularly in regards to Marvel Studios.
And while their posts were hit or miss in terms of casting or what films were coming down the pipeline, they have been known to share set photo leaks that potentially spoil big moments from the films.
Case in point, @CanWeGetSomeToast recently posted set photos from Captain America: Brave New World which seems to have been the breaking point for Marvel Studios.

The X-Men are waiting in the wings to make their debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a project being in active development, and Mister Sinister being rumored to be the villain for the first phase for the mutants. However, Marvel will require some smaller-scale villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to build up to the big bad, and X-Men ’97 might have just given the MCU its first mutant villain.

Omega Red is a mutant alright, but the character also has a direct connection to Captain America. Omega Red was made by the Soviet Union in direct response to Captain America. However, the procedure that the character went through is more in line with the Weapon X program that produced Wolverine.

Magneto in X-Men ’97
“The brave are always the first to die”
It was 1992 when Magneto said an iconic line in the original animated show X-Men: The Animated Series. When the mutants (including Wolverine) chose to get in the Blackbird to face Bolivar Trask and Master Mold to save President Robert Kelly, Magneto considered it a suicide mission.

In 2018, Prashanth Neel’s Kgf: Chapter 1 was a big hit at the box office. The Kannada film, starring Yash in the lead role, left a great impact even in the northern part of India. In 2022, he released a sequel for the film, and in 2023, Neel released another biggie—Salaar: Part 1—Ceasefire. The film stars Prabhas in the lead role.
Recently, Prithviraj Sukumaran, who is a part of Salaar tweeted something about “another universe”. Fans wondered if Prasanth Neel is going to bring together his Kgf and Salaar movies as a whole universe. Since mine is the common factor between these films, it is called the Mine Universe. In his tweet, the Aadujeevitham actor wrote, “Of all the stories Prashanth has told me..Shiv Mannar’s is probably the coolest. Has an unbelievable crossover with another universe as well.
