The Marvel rumor mill has dropped its latest dubious bombshells, this time positioning Brie Larson as a key factor in why one of the Multiverse Saga’s hottest upcoming sequels has been hit with a six-month delay. And, as you’d expect, the fandom is reacting to that in an entirely calm and non-combative manner. Elsewhere, official Disney comments about the future shape of the MCU are causing riots and celebrations in equal measure.

New rumors are claiming Brie Larson clashed with co-star Teyonah Parris on-set and was upset with Disney for removing her character’s name from the title, with the film itself colorfully described as a “sh*t show” by apparent sources. As you’d expect, while trolls are gleefully reacting to the reports, Larson’s loyal supporters are hitting back at the dubious claims.

So don’t expect every movie series to get itself a trilogy in the future. While that might be bad news for some, others are honestly pretty relieved at that promise, given the state of recent less-popular follow-ups like Thor: Love and Thunder and Ant-Man 3.

What’s more, confirmation that the series will be shifting its shoot to none other than Harlem very soon has only got the fandom convinced that another Defenders Saga favorite could be popping by as well. Here’s a hint: they share a name with the guy from Face/Off. And what with Krysten Ritter rumored to be back as Jessica Jones, it’s looking like pretty much all the Defenders could return. Although maybe don’t hold out too much hope for Iron Fist…
