‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Screenwriter Comments on Appearances of ‘X-Men’ Mutants
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which premiered earlier this month, has sparked discussions about the endless possibilities of the multiverse. One of the topics debated was whether or not the mutants from the X-Men series would ever appear in the MCU, and although the movie did feature a variant of Professor X, fans questioned why weren’t there more mutants from the X-Men series. Specifically, more mutants connected to Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff, who is a mutant herself. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Michael Waldron, screenwriter of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, was asked why the studio did not take reference from the famous House of M saga. Waldron’s answer was clear: he did not want to shift the focus, “Yeah, we talked a...

Marvel’s ‘She-Hulk’ Release Date Leaked By Disney+
A leak from Disney+ itself has now pointed to a release date for the first episode of Marvel Studio‘s She-Hulk. As spotted by What’s on Disney Plus, the streaming service’s official U.K. site posted an announcement earlier over the weekend revealing that the upcoming 10-episode She-Hulk series will arrive on August 17. The information has since been removed by Disney, and no other region has posted anything similar for now, which could suggest that either the date itself was incorrect or the team revealed the date too early by mistake. Provided the August date is correct, however, it’s likely that Disney will officially announce it in the near future, so fans of the MCU probably won’t have to wait much longer. Produced as a comedy series, She-Hulk will introduce Tatiana Masl...
