Thanks to the advent of the Multiverse Saga, there isn’t a single soul alive to have appeared in a Marvel production that can 100 percent be ruled out from making a comeback.
It’s been a double-edged sword, though, one that’s allowed us to be reacquainted with plenty of old favorites, but at the same time sending the rumor mill into a perpetual state of overdrive. Unfortunately, one of the most-vaunted doesn’t appear to be on the cards, at least for now.
However, there’s plenty more casting speculation to tide you over in the meantime, while James Gunn has even continued shilling his contributions to the MCU despite The Flash looming ever closer on the horizon.
The return everybody wants to happen hasn’t even been discussed… yet
For almost three years we’ve been inundated with rumors touting Chloe Bennet’s Quake as the latest variant to show up in the mainline Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is the only workaround when Kevin Feige enraged a lot of people by dismissing Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as canon.
The downside is that no less of an authority than Chloe Bennet herself revealed she’s not even spoken to the studio about anything since the series wrapped in the summer of 2020, so maybe it’s best to let go of those Secret Invasion predictions.
Fantastic Four cast claims to have been confirmed, arguments erupt anyway
We really need Marvel to confirm the cast for the Fantastic Four reboot as soon as possible, because the constant swirling of rumors got out of hand a long time ago.
The latest claims to offer the identity of the titular foursome in their entirety, and while there’s plenty to like about the hypothetical and entirely unconfirmed selections, it didn’t stop arguments from erupting online as to whether or not they’re the right people for the job.
James Gunn wants Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to flush you out, just like a colonoscopy
What do Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and a colonoscopy have in common besides their shared – and completely different – abilities to flush you out? Not much, but James Gunn has nonetheless used one to inform the other during one of his recent Twitter exchanges.
Having ditched rumor debunking from his to-do list, the DC Studios co-CEO needs to do something to occupy the time, so we can no doubt expect more weird and wonderful dialogues to emerge in the near future.
That’s it for the latest week of the Marvel merry-go-round, but as you know fine well by now, be sure to check back tomorrow when it all begins again.
