New rumors related to the Marvel Cinematic Universe have emerged online, with several scoopers sharing updates on various upcoming projects. Let’s start with Sydney Sweeneywho after playing Spider-Woman in the disappointing Madame Webshe might actually join the MCU, hypothetically for the role of Black Cat in Spider-Man 4. The scooper reported the indiscretion @MyTimeToShineHwhich claims that the star of Everyone except you And Immaculate is currently having negotiations with the president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige.
Again @MyTimeToShineH also reiterates the rumors already circulated in the past according to which the Thanos Of Josh Brolin is set to return to the MCU in the near future. This is a questionable decision, given how the Mad Titan’s story ended, but with a Multiverse of Variants, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised. Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus also shared some cryptic scoop on X, suggesting that the Hank Pym of Michael Douglas will join the Illuminati and that Doctor Strange will lead a new version of the group. The news regarding Pym seems questionable, however, considering that Douglas no longer seems to want to play the character.
Perez then also denied the rumors that Ben Affleck will reprise his role as Daredevil in Deadpool & Wolverinesuggesting that there will be a reason why Elektra’s Jennifer Garner will show up without him by her side. Regarding i Fantastic FourPerez instead revealed that: “There’s a reason why the Fantastic Four’s debut will take place in an alternate universe where the ’60s look like the Jetsons. They must establish how great the threat of this Saga can be, which can even cross over into different universes. So yes, they are important“.
That Fantastic Four will take place on another Earth now seems like a given, and this gives Marvel Studios the freedom to tell a 1960s-based story that doesn’t contradict the established history of Earth-616.

As usual with Marvel, story details remain under wraps. But in the comics, i Fantastic Four they are astronauts who are transformed into superheroes after being exposed to cosmic rays in space. Reed gains the ability to stretch his body to astonishing lengths. Sue, Reed’s girlfriend (and future wife), can manipulate light to become invisible and launch powerful force fields. Johnny, Sue’s brother, can turn her body into fire which gives him the ability to fly. And Ben, Reed’s best friend, is completely transformed into a Thing, with giant orange boulders for a body, giving him super strength.
Matt Shakman (“WandaVision,” “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters”) will direct Fantastic Fourfrom a screenplay by Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan And Ian Springer. Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards) is known to the world for his performances in The Mandalorian, The Last of Us and before that in game of Thrones. Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm) was part of the Mission: Impossible and Fast and Furious franchises, while Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm) became a fan favorite for his portrayal of Eddie in Stranger Things 4. Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm) is having a moment thanks to his role as Cousin Ritchie in The Bear.
At the moment there are rumors circulating about a possible setting in the film’s past, approximately in the 1960s, based on the appearance of the first official images released to date. However, there are also rumors that the film could be set in a reality different from that of Earth 616. To date we also know that the actress Julia Garner was chosen to play Shalla-Bal in her Silver Surfer version, a presence that would also seem to confirm that of Galactus as the main villain. Franklin And Valeria Richardschildren of Reed and Sue, could appear in the film, while Doctor Doom he could have a simple cameo in the finale. The film is expected in cinemas on July 25, 2025.
