Marvel Boss Kevin Feige To Quit After Avengers: Secret Wars? Viral Rumour Shocks MCU Fans
Last Updated: Back in February 2024, there were whispers that Kevin Feige might be leaving Marvel to focus on a Star Wars reboot. Is Kevin Feige planning to exit Marvel Studios after Avengers: Secret Wars? That's the burning question circulating across social media after a viral post claimed the Marvel Studios President might part ways with the studio in 2027. The rumour, which first surfaced via the fan account @MCUSource on X (formerly Twitter), has ignited a flurry of reactions from MCU fans, sparking debates over the future of the franchise. 'BREAKING: Kevin Feige is planning to leave Marvel Studios after the release of #Avengers: SECRET WARS!" the unverified post read. Neither Marvel nor Disney has released any official statement to confirm or deny the claim, but that hasn't stopped fans from weighing in. #Avengers: SECRET WARS! — MCU Source (@MCUSource) June 17, 2025 One fan reacted, 'Wonder why? It's not like the whole mcu is gonna reboot or something like that… right?……" Another praised Feige's legacy: 'Well, love it or hate it, he built something completely singular in its success in film history." Some speculated that creative differences with Disney could be a factor. 'The power struggle with Disney might be at play… they apparently want more MCU content and Mr Feige want to take a different approach," one user guessed. Many acknowledged the fatigue plaguing recent Marvel releases, while also lauding Feige's past achievements. 'SALUTE HIM FOR ALL HE'S DONE… BUT IT IS TIME FOR SOME NEW BLOOD AND NEW IDEAS," read a comment. Another added, 'Honestly, might be the smartest move at this point. Feels like Feige emptied the tank with Endgame… no soul, no momentum." Interestingly, this isn't the first time Feige's potential exit has made headlines. Back in February 2024, there were whispers that he might be leaving Marvel to focus on a Star Wars reboot. Those rumours, like this one, were never substantiated. Despite the speculation, Marvel's official release calendar remains unchanged. In fact, Feige has been actively discussing upcoming projects, including the much-anticipated introduction of the Fantastic Four and X-Men into the MCU, suggesting he's still very much at the helm. For now, the report remains a rumour with no concrete backing. But with the MCU at a turning point, fans are watching every move Feige makes. First Published: June 19, 2025, 20:38 IST

Hugh Jackman Workout Video Has Fans Predicting Wolverine Return
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Hugh Jackman seems to be getting into Wolverine shape and that has fans thinking that, in spite of his name being absent in any official announcements so far, the "Deadpool & Wolverine" star is on his way back as the titular mutant in "Avengers: Doomsday" and/or "Avengers: Secret Wars". The "Real Steel" star posted a video of himself lifting some serious weight to Instagram, getting fans speculating about exactly why he needed to work out so strenuously. You can see the video below.

Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in 'Deadpool & Wolverine." Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in 'Deadpool & Wolverine." DISNEY Wolversteve writes, "Hope that's for more Wolverine." howlettveil warns, "alright everybody keep an eye out on his beard, if he grows mutton chops we all know what's coming." mikeposters predicts, "The Wolverine is coming back (he never left)." mamateunbich0 speculates, "This is all the proof we need that he's going to be in either Doomsday or Secret wars or both." patholtweddingfilms jokes, "'Till you're 90," referencing Deadpool's ongoing quips in "Deadpool & Wolverine" that Marvel would keep Jackman playing Wolverine until he's 90. buffhuffitness asks, "Wolverine training @thehughjackman !?!??!??!" While the workout video may not necessarily mean we should expect Jackman in "Avengers: Doomsday," there are plenty of good reasons to predict he'll show up. We already know that many of Jackman's co-stars in the earliest "X-Men" movies will be reprising their signature roles in "Avengers: Doomsday," making Jackman's absence seem pretty strange. While Jackman's name wasn't on one of the chairs in Marvel's epic "Avengers: Doomsday" cast announcement, Kevin Feige has already made it clear that there are names still to be added to the list of cast members. Then there's the fact that "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars" promise to be the climax of Marvel's multiverse saga and Jackman's Wolverine was a key figure in one of the films in which the Multiverse took center stage, "Deadpool & Wolverine." Put it all together, and it seems in most likelihood, that the only way Jackman wouldn't be showing up in either "Doomsday" or "Secret Wars" is if he simply did not want to play the character anymore. As "Deadpool & Wolverine" proved, that isn't necessarily the case.

'Ironheart' Star Hints at 'Avengers: Doomsday' Appearance
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Dominique Thorne just dropped a hint that we could be seeing Riri Williams/Ironheart in either "Avengers: Doomsday" or its 2027 follow-up, "Avengers: Secret Wars". Read More: James Gunn Confirms 'Wonder Woman' Movie in the Works Speaking with The Direct, Thorne was asked what she thought her chances were of appearing in either "Doomsday" and/or "Secret Wars". The "Ironheart" star answered, "Oh, you know, what can I say? The odds might be in our favor. Who knows? We'll see. We'll see." Dominique Thorne stars in Ironheart Dominique Thorne stars in Ironheart Disney That's far from a confirmation, but at the same time it's a stronger hint than you usually get from Marvel stars. At the same time, Thorne had a confident response to what she would say to fans hesitant to get on board the "Ironheart bandwagon." "I would say get on the bandwagon," Thorne answered. "It's here. We're here... I mean, Tony's on the bandwagon, so you know, what's the problem? RDJ is here. It's nice here. It's cute here. It's comfy here. It smells good here." By saying "RDJ is here," Thorne was referencing the fact that Robert Downey Jr. reached out to the younger star to give his blessing to her picking up the Iron Man mantle as Ironheart. Thorne debuted as Riri Williams/Ironheart in 2022's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever". She becomes a central figure in the looming conflict between Wakanda and Talokan after the MIT student develops a device capable of locating vibranium. Thorne will soon reprise the role of Riri Williams in the upcoming Disney+ series "Ironheart". The first three episodes of the series will drop on the streamer on June 24. Whether or not Thorne manages to show up in either "Avengers: Doomsday" or "Avengers: Secret Wars" is another matter. We do know that more stars are supposed to show up in the former film than have already been announced, and even if she doesn't appear in "Doomsday", there's always the follow-up. "Avengers: Doomsday" is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18, 2026. It is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, and Robert Downey Jr. More Comics: Scarlett Johansson Wanted Her Name Removed From Marvel Project Chris Evans Shares Brutally Honest Feelings About 'Avengers: Doomsday'

Nintendo's Big Zelda Movie Will Fill Void Left By Avengers: Secret Wars With Tiny Delay
Nintendo's live-action Zelda movie won't be out in March 2027 after all. Instead, the hero of time's journey to the big screen will be delayed until May 2027. The company said it just needs a little 'extra time' to make it good. Less than two months, to be precise. Originally set to release on March 26, 2027, Nintendo's adaptation of The Legend of Zelda will now arrive on May 7, 2027. Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto told fans in the Nintendo Today app that the shift was for 'production reasons.' 'It will be some weeks later than the release timing we originally announced, and we will take the extra time to make the film as good as it can be,' he said. 'Thank you for your patience.' What's notable about this new May launch window? That's actually when Avengers: Secret Wars was originally supposed to come out. However, that new chapter in the MCU was recently delayed until December 2027, with Avengers: Doomsday similarly pushed from spring 2026 to around the holidays. Ultimately, that's good news for Nintendo and Sony, who it's producing the movie with. The Legend of Zelda's live-action debut can now have some room to breath while still joining the pre-summer blockbuster bandwagon. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is also rumored to be coming in 2027. Maybe we'll get another Barbenheimer. Sonelda? Zonic? Is this anything? Despite Nintendo being so transparent with the release schedule nearly two years away, we still don't know anything else about casting or what the movie will be like, including which stories from the games it might incorporate. Director Wes Ball, who helmed 2024's Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, said he wants it to feel somewhat 'grounded.' I hope Link is wearing his iron boots the whole time. .

Chris Evans Shares Brutally Honest Feelings About 'Avengers: Doomsday'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Chris Evans may be content that his work as Captain America is done, but the star of "The Materialists" still has some strong feelings about missing out on the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday". Speaking to ScreenRant while promoting "The Materialists", Evans said that it was sad not to be included in the new movie. Read More: Ryan Coogler Confirms Denzel Washington Has a Part in 'Black Panther 3' Asked if he had spoken to Robert Downey Jr. and/or the Russo brothers, Evans answered, "Yeah, I talk to them all the time. It's where Pedro [Pascal] is right now. I mean, it's sad to be away. It's sad not to be back with the band, but I'm sure they're doing something incredible, and I'm sure it's going to be that much harder when it comes out and you feel like you weren't invited to the party." Captain America is played by Chris Evans in Avengers: Endgame. His character arc concludes nicely in that film, but rumors are he'll return for Avengers: Secret Wars. Captain America is played by Chris Evans in Avengers: Endgame. His character arc concludes nicely in that film, but rumors are he'll return for Avengers: Secret Wars. Disney It's difficult to blame Evans for feeling like he wasn't "invited to the party." Evans played Steve Rogers/Captain America in the first three "Captain America" films, all four "Avengers" films to date, and made cameos in "Thor: The Dark World" and "Spider-Man: Homecoming". More recently, he reprised the role of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in last year's "Deadpool & Wolverine". The irony is that as far as the fans are concerned, at least, he would almost certainly be welcomed back to the role if he chose. Evans hardly had time to put down the shield in "Avengers: Endgame" before rumors started flying that he was on his way back to reprise the role, perhaps as a variant from a different corner of the multiverse. So who knows? While Evans may not be invited to the party for "Avengers: Doomsday", there's always the following year's "Avengers: Secret Wars". "Avengers: Doomsday" is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18, 2026. It is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, and Robert Downey Jr. More Comics: James Gunn Wants Peacemaker to Fight Batman Captain America: Brave New World Finally Has a Disney+ Free Streaming Date
