Kevin Feige Confirms THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Will Lead Directly Into AVENGERS
While speaking at Disney's presentation during the CineEurope convention in Barcelona, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed that The Fantastic Four: First Steps will directly lead into the next big team-up event, Avengers: Doomsday . This really isn't all that surprising concidering how Thunderbolts* ended with its post-credits scene, which featured a mysterious ship appearing on the New Avengers' radar. That scene heavily implied that the Fantastic Four would cross into the main MCU timeline by the end of their film. But Feige stirred things up, teasing that this vessel might not be the familiar Excelsior fans assumed. So if it's not their ship... what exactly did the New Avengers spot? Fan's are also expecting to The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduce the MCU's take on Doctor Doom, who is being played by Robert Downey Jr. This reveal also raises questions about where Tom Holland's Spider-Man fits into all of this. His next outing, Spider-Man: Brand New Day , is slated for July 2026 sandwiched between Fantastic Four and Doomsday . If Peter Parker shows up, it could be in an isolated adventure, disconnected from the larger multiversal chaos unfolding elsewhere. Or maybe he gets pulled in deeper than we think. The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters on July 25, 2026, followed by Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, 2026. Source: Deadline

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Rumored to Bring in Shang-Chi, Silver Samurai, Viper... and the Alien Suit — GeekTyrant
Here we go again, Spider-Man: Brand New Day rumors are spreading online like a wild fire. The latest claims come from insider Alex Perez at The Cosmic Circus, who says he's he's seen concept art that show that Tom Holland's next MCU outing will pit him against Silver Samurai and Viper, with none other than Shang-Chi fighting by his side. According to Perez, these two villains, last seen teamed up in The Wolverine (2013), could be the main antagonists. 'What I heard involves a connection [between Peter Parker and Bruce] dating back to the earliest days of the MCU and exploring some uncharted territory for both characters' personal histories,' he adds, implying a deeper story that brings The Hulk into play too. Now, before anyone gets too hyped, let's pump the brakes. Perez previously claimed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day would feature Venom and Knull following the release of Venom: The Last Dance , so we're definitely in 'take it with a grain of salt' territory. That said, the idea of Spider-Man clashing swords with Silver Samurai and dodging toxins from Viper in a global martial-arts-flavored showdown? Yeah, it's wild enough to be interesting. It's also worth noting that Perez believes that Brand New Day , Daredevil: Born Again , and The Punisher Special Presentation are the only MCU projects leading directly into the long-rumored Mayor Fisk storyline. If true, this could be the first major link between Peter Parker and the darker street-level world of the MCU. As for that alien costume, according to the report, Spidey's black suit will indeed appear in the movie, which instantly cranks up the speculation machine about Symbiotes, Multiverse crossovers, and all kinds of narrative mayhem. Viper aka Madame Hydra is a deadly martial artist, toxin expert, and terrorist with ties to Hydra and a long history of battling heroes like Wolverine and Captain America. Silver Samurai, meanwhile, is a mutant with a tachyon-charged blade capable of slicing through nearly anything. He's most often a Wolverine nemesis, but has been known to blur the lines between villain and anti-hero. Directed by Shang-Chi filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton, with a script from MCU vets Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, Holland stars alongside Zendaya, Sadie Sink, and Liza Colón-Zayas. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.

Funnyman gets serious with the three ‘Ds'
Still funny, now real, Barry Hilton is tackling depression, dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with humour in his new set. Of course, like with anything SA's favourite cousin sets his mind to, he starts it off with a question. 'What do two pirates, a billionaire, a celebrity chef, Spider-Man, and one of SA's most inspiring comedic storytellers have in common?' he asks. 'They all share a common thread — dyslexia.' Hilton was referring to actors Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean), billionaire Richard Branson, chef Jamie Oliver, and Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, who all grew up facing learning challenges that set them apart — yet none let that define their success. Now, the former Gqeberha resident joins this group, stepping forward not just with laughter, but with a powerful message about living with depression, dyslexia and ADHD in his candid and compelling keynote. In Barry Hilton in 3D, he reveals how humour became his survival tool, a bridge to connection, and a path to healing. This is more than a comedy show — it is a vital conversation about resilience, mental health and the courage to be truly yourself. Hilton is on a mission to tackle mental health issues using the unexpected yet universal power of humour. After quietly struggling with these mental and learning challenges for years, Hilton reached a turning point. 'I broke down,' he said, 'and that breakdown turned into a breakthrough.' What followed was a commitment to speak honestly and to help others, not by hiding behind the punchlines, but by using them to open difficult doors. In a country where humour is often a default defence mechanism, Barry Hilton in 3D offers some insight and empathy with a story that resonates in boardrooms and schools alike. 'We've got to start checking in on the 'happy one', the class clown, the team joker. 'Sometimes, they're the ones carrying the heaviest load. 'Humour saved my life and I want to show others how it can do the same for them or for someone they love.' The engaging live session covers practical lessons on using humour to build resilience and spotting red flags early, especially in the 'always fine' team member. He said it was further an honest, funny, and deeply human keynote that touched on workplace wellness, youth mental health and learning differences. 'We are all just trying to stay afloat. Some of us are laughing on the outside and drowning on the inside. This talk is my lifebuoy to the world,' he said. Barry Hilton in 3D: Depression, Dyslexia, ADHD is now available for corporate events, conferences, fundraising galas and educational sessions. The Herald
