Bill Murray Lets Slip That He’s in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Notoriously choosey actor Bill Murray has apparently decided to make the Marvel leap, as he recently let slip he’s filmed a scene for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Speaking to German media outlet Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung about his new Wes Anderson feature The French Dispatch, Murray was discussing his decision to frequently collaborate with the same filmmakers. Asked whether it was important that he works with people he knows and likes, the actor responded, “You know, I made a Marvel movie recently. I’m probably not allowed to tell you, but whatever.” Though he didn’t betray Kevin Feige entirely by directly revealing what film he was talking about, it doesn’t take a super-sleuth to figure it out. Murray continued (translated from German by The Cosmic Circus), “Anyways, some...

Marvel Delays All 2022 Release Dates, Including Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Thor
It’s the release date shift of madness, as Marvel has announced delays for almost all of its post-2021 features. The shakeup will see nearly the entire 2022-2023 slate of Disney-released films swapping positions, with Indiana Jones 5 also affected. The moves are cascading, with each movie moving to fill the slot previously held by the next film down the line. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (originally scheduled for March 25th, 2022) now takes Thor: Love and Thunder off its May 6th spot, which in turn moves onto Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s July 8th date. The highly anticipated Black Panther sequel, expected to see Letitia Wright’s Shuri picking up the mantle from the late Chadwick Boseman, forces Nia DaCosta’s Captain Marvel follow-up The Marvels i...
‘Hawkeye’ To Premiere on Disney+ With 2 Episodes, New Trailer
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Chuck Zlotnick / Disney Now that Marvel’s What If…? animated series is a wrap (those last two episodes were off the chain), fans are (somewhat) eagerly awaiting the premiere of Disney+’s next MCU spinoff series, Hawkeye, and though it’s basically a month away, fans will be getting a holiday treat when it does drop. According to Deadline, the hero with the bow and arrow will be debuting in his own series on November 24th with not one, but two episodes (a la WandaVision) so that heads who fill up on turkey will have more reason to not get up off the couch for a minute. Of course after its Thanksgiving Thursday premiere, the series will drop a new episode every Wednesday as that’s become Disney’s preferred day for Marvel-related shows. To hype up the upcomin...

Marvel Sues to Avoid Copyright Termination on The Avengers
The fate of the Avengers is in the hands of the law. In a court filing even more serious than the Sokovia Accords, Disney‘s Marvel unit is suing to prevent the MCU’s most famous superhero team from falling into copyright termination. The stakes couldn’t be higher for the company behind the blockbuster superhero franchise: if they lose the copyright on the likes of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and co., the studio would be forced to share the Avengers’ identities with the heirs of their creators (i.e. the estates of Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, Gene Colan, and others). According to reporting by The Hollywood Reporter, the copyright for Spider-Man was the most recent to risk lapsing. Ditko’s estate filed a “notice of termination” on the character last month.

Dune Director Denis Villeneuve Claims Marvel Movies “Have Turned Us into Zombies”
Denis Villeneuve has started promoting his new film Dune, and he has thoughts on the impact the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had on audiences over the last 13 years. Speaking with the Spanish-language outlet El Mundo, Villeneuve noted that big budget blockbuster filmmaking can retain artistic merit, citing filmmakers like Christopher Nolan and Alfonso Curaon. “Perhaps the problem is that we are in front of too many Marvel movies that are nothing more than a ‘cut and paste’ of others,” the director said. “Perhaps these types of movies have turned us into zombies a bit… But big and expensive movies of great value there are many today. I don’t feel capable of being pessimistic at all.” (English translation courtesy of Indiewire.) Villeneuve continued, “Just think of the golden age of Hollywo...

Anthony Mackie Officially Signs On for Captain America 4 Movie
No super serum, no blond hair, or blue eyes — but Sam Wilson has a movie. Anthony Mackie has officially signed on to star in Captain America 4. The Marvel Cinematic Universe favorite, who debuted as Sam “The Falcon” Wilson in 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, debuted as the new Cap in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier back in March.
