Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Trailer Reveals New Suits and Villains: Watch
We’re finally one step closer to returning to Wakanda: Marvel has unveiled the first full-length trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The preview arrives just under a month away from the sequel’s November 11th release, which comes four years after the smash original Black Panther. A first teaser for the film debuted at San Diego Comic-Con back in summer, but this new trailer gives us deeper looks at the cast. Amongst the returning characters are Shuri (Letitia Wright), Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), Okoye (Danai Gurira), and Ayo (Florence Kasumba). All of them are in mourning over the loss of T’Challa (the late, great Chadwick Boseman), but the death of their king and Black Panther protector has apparently opened them up to outside aggressors — particula...
Hugh Jackman Returning as Wolverine for Deadpool 3 in the MCU
Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that Hugh Jackman will be returning as Wolverine in Deadpool 3. In a video announcing the surprise bit of casting, the actors also revealed the film’s release date: September 6th, 2024. Deadpool 3 will mark the Merc with a Mouth’s long awaited entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a bridging of franchises that has been in the works ever since Disney reclaimed the rights to the X-Men in the 20th Century Fox merger. Fans have also anticipated the MCU arrival of the larger roster of mutants, something that has already slowly begun thanks to the rug-pulling appearance of Evan Peters in WandaVision and Patrick Stewart getting back in Professor Xavier’s wheelchair for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. (As well as the controversial reveal at th...
Marvel Studios President Explained Why They Didn’t Recast The Role of T’Challa
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: NBC / Getty The sudden death of Chadwick Boseman left his fans shocked and in disbelief. Being that he passed away before Black Panther: Wakanda Forever began filming, many wondered if Marvel would recast the role that helped endear him to millions of fans. The answer was a solid “no” and Marvel Studios head honcho, Kevin Feige, explained why they decided against replacing Chadwick Boseman in the Black Panther sequel. In an interview with Empire, Feige basically echoed the sentiment that everyone felt at the time of Boseman’s passing, it would’ve just been too soon. Related Stories “It just felt like it was much too soon to recast,” he says, likening their approach to Marvel’s long-standing ethos in the comics. Stan Lee always said that Marvel represents ...
HHW Gaming: ‘Iron Man’ Game From Motive Studio In Production
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Motive Studio / Iron Man If one Marvel character needed their own video game, it has to be Iron Man, and today EA announced that game is happening. Marvel will be teaming up with Motive Studio, the same studio that gave us Star Wars: Squadrons for an all-new single-player, third-person, action-adventure Iron Man video game. Related Stories The Iron Man game has just entered the early development phase, and an original story that “taps into the rich history of Iron Man, channeling the complexity, charisma, and creative genius of Tony Stark, and enabling players to feel what it’s like to truly play as Iron Man,” Marvel announced in a blog post.

Fan Imagines Keke Palmer As X-Men’s Rogue, Palmer Responds
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty Keke Palmer is just 29 years of age but has literally grown up onscreen since starting her storied career in 2004. Given Palmer’s infectious energy and acting chops, a fan imagined her in the role of the X-Men member Rouge, and Palmer seemingly agreed with the suggestion. TikTok user @jacobfordridgway posted a video discussing a video Keke Palmer posted where she expressed interest in playing a superhero role. In the video, @jacobfordridgway explained that the usual fan-casting done for Black actresses was thrown out such as the powerful Storm. However, @jacobfordridgway threw a curveball and suggested the power-absorbing mutant, Rogue, who is depicted as a white woman in the comics. Related Stories Palmer caught wind of the v...
Marvel Unveils Secret Invasion Trailer Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Coleman: Watch
Trust no one. Marvel unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming Disney+ series Secret Invasion during its annual D23 event this weekend. Watch it below. The seeds of Secret Invasion have been planted since Spider-Man: Far From Home back in 2019. In that film’s post-credits scene (spoiler) it was revealed that the Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) we’d seen throughout the movie were actually shape-shifting Skrulls (with Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos from Captain Marvel taking the place of Fury). It turned out that the real S.H.I.E.L.D. head was up in space aboard a Skrull ship on a secret mission. That mission, it turns out, was monitoring a… well, a Secret Invasion. Based on the popular Marvel Comics storyline of the same name, Secret Invasion...

Ben Kingsley Will Reprise Role of Trevor Slattery in Marvel’s Wonder Man Series
Ben Kingsley delighted and deceived his way through Iron Man 3 and Shang Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings, and as Variety reports, he’ll bring back the character Trevor Slatterly in Marvel Studios’ Wonder Man series for Disney+. Wonder Man will reunite Kingsley with the show’s co-creator and executive producer, Destin Daniel Cretton, who helmed Shang-Chi. Some reports have suggested that Cretton is planning an action-packed Hollywood satire; Slatterly’s backstory is struggling actor, and in the comics, Wonder Man worked as a stunt man to try and monetize his invulnerability. Wonder Man has served as both an Iron Man antagonist and Avengers ally, and there’s no indication which way he’ll be leaning at the start of the series. Few o...
Mark Ruffalo Says Too Much Marvel Better Than Getting “The Same Version of Star Wars Each Time”
Marvel has released two films and two TV shows this year, with one more of each on the horizon. They also dropped a series of Groot animated shorts, and there are still two Disney+ specials on the way. That’s a slow year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point; there are four films and six shows on the schedule for 2023. But one of the franchise’s stars, Mark Ruffalo, isn’t concerned with Marvel over-saturation — because at least it’s not Star Wars. Speaking with UK’s Metro about his return to playing Hulk in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Ruffalo said too much Marvel content is “not something I worry about.” He noted that big franchises like this always “run their course” and get replaced by something new, but praised Marvel for its variety. “The thing Marvel has done w...
‘Plastic Crack’: Pharoahe Monch on the Addictive World of Marvel Figurines
Deep within the shadowy regions of the underworld of collectors, it’s commonly referred to as “Plastic Crack.” Perhaps it’s even more addictive than cooked cocaine, but the comparisons to the infamous ‘80s drug probably stop at the insatiable ability to hook you after only one hit. I mean, I don’t think cats are stripping aluminum siding off houses to cop, but the anxiety, and withdrawals, are 100% a reality. I officially became an addict of collecting figurines during the pandemic lockdowns of NYC.Zooms became a part of everyday life. Like a lot of us, I needed to find a small nook somewhere to front, and I hated it. I decided to order a cheap ring light and shovel out an area in the house to display some memorabilia and some of my old Monchhichi collectibles. Yes! I collected those, henc...
