The MCU

The latest rumor from insider Daniel Richtman (via Comic Book Movie) suggests Stranger Things‘ Joe Keery is now being eyed to play a major role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though we can only speculate on which character Keery could end up playing, he’s been a popular choice among fans to play either Cyclops, Nova, or Harry Osborn.

Avengers: Doomsday

During a recent interview with The Playlist, Tessa Thompson stated she’s “not able to confirm anything” when asked if Valkyrie makes an appearance in Avengers: Doomsday.

Oh, [I’m] not able to confirm anything. I think this is the coolest thing about hanging out inside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: all the incredible people that you get to play with, both the incredible craftspeople that create these worlds, all the amazing directors that they invite into these spaces, and all of the incredible talent. And also, I think there are so many tonal spaces you can go to inside of a Marvel movie.

SFX Magazine has an exclusive poster for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, focusing on Jack O’Connell’s bizarre character, Sir Jimmy Crystal.
