There is a lot happening in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point, and it is not easy to keep track of it all. Especially this morning, when the scoopers have woken up and chosen to give one new update about the upcoming movies after the other, and we are not ready for the tsunami of content that is coming towards us. Today is a very busy day in the realm of speculations and rumors as the mill has churned out 5 major speculations about the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the first half of the day. They are about Blade, Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, The Fantastic Four, and more.

Yesterday came in as a surprise as the scoopers revealed that the Marvel Studios’ bosses are now planning to re-title Avengers: The Kang Dynasty aka Avengers 5. The studio wants to walk away from Kang and get him removed from the title. And this is not just about Jonathan Majors’ fiasco where he was found guilty of assault and the studio fired him, but the makers have been wanting to get rid of Kang from Avengers 5 title even before the verdict. The reason reportedly is the poor worldwide reception of Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania in both crucial and box office sectors.

The various new reports now have the latest updates to offer about some very varied Marvel projects. There is a plot update on Midnight Sons, a casting update about The Fantastic Four, and some very interesting reshoot details on the much-anticipated show Agatha: Darkhold Diaries. Read on and get on the anticipation bus because the MCU is about to bloom yet again.

Blade Pushed Beyond 2025

Yes, we know we did talk about Blade being pushed beyond 2025 and Mahershala Ali liking where the script is going. But the new update now talks about Bob Iger, who has advised the Marvel bosses to slow down on content. However, Michael Green is right now writing the script, and Mahershala is not going anywhere. There are no plot details or production dates attached to the project, but it will be good if it goes on floors soon considering the audience has already waited for too long and another delay means the studio is indeed taking a massive risk.

The Fantastic Four H.E.R.B.I.E Casting & Plot

The Fantastic Four official poster that revealed the cast was a treat for the fans of the franchise who are happy that the makers are sticking to the roots of the 60s. But what was even more exciting was the hint that either Galactus or Reed and Sue’s son Franklin will be in the film. H.E.R.B.I.E the robot that was made to find Galactus and later became Franklin’s sidekick was also on the poster. As per scooper MCM Culture now the studio is looking for a comedian to voice the robot. 

In addition to that rumor, there is another Comic Book Movie that says that The Fantastic Four plot will be divided between two timelines. One in the future and one in the past. If this is true, the structure of the movie will be too complicated to crack, and we hope that Matt Shakman is prepared to take up this challenge. The latest rumor by MCM Culture also suggests that Thor: Ragnarok and Black Widow fame Eric Pearson is right now polishing the script for the film, and it will go on floors this summer in London.

Midnight Sons Update

That there is a Midnight Sons project in the making in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is news we have been listening to for a long while. But according to a new update, it feels like the work on the same has begun on a fast track. Consisting of all the mystic beings, the Midnight Sons in the MCU will not include the characters that have already made it to the Avengers. This means that Doctor Strange will not have anything to do with the Midnight Sons projects if this report is to go by.

Additionally, Joanna Calo of Beef and The Bear fame is in the writing room of Thunderbolts now. This makes things even more exciting for everyone.

Agatha: Darkhold Diaries Reshoots

Agatha All Along led to a show, and we are now about to see the witch in her full glory. The reshoots for the show Darkhold Diaries have made a lot of noise, but it turns out they were positive. As per the latest scoop, the reshoots for Agatha: Darkhold Diaries ended in a day even when the studio had given five days for the same.
