Marvel is slowly revealing the cast of Avengers Doomsday on Twitter.

This shit has to be the slowest movie cast reveal of all time. We got 15 minutes between each chair reveal.

Spoiler:

But Namor, Beast and Sentry all getting confirmed is nice.

Spoiler:

Patrick Stewart, Ian MaKellen, and Alan Cumming have officially been announced. So so far we have Beast, Professor X, Magneto, and now Nightcrawler revealed. No shock really as this film is considered to be a big send off for the Fox Marvel universe.

The cast reveal is done for today. Though apparently there's still more to come since there are several notable absences that are almost guaranteed to appear in the film.

[Maverick Centigrade]

Heh, you don't need anyone of the other heroes if you're using

Spoiler:

Sentry.

[Tyrant_Lizard_King]

Yep casting is not done. The ones announced the other day are the ones Marvel has officially nailed down. Script isn't even complete yet.

New Fantastic 4 trailer dropped giving us our first look at The Surfer and another brief glimpse at Galactus.

Thunderbolts is officially the best reviewed MCU entry since Endgame. Currently an 89% RT score with 150 reviews.

Marvel finally got it's pulse back with this one. Finally, a cure for superhero fatigue!

Thunderbolts was pretty good. It's still a Marvel movie, but some decent character writing and better camerawork really make the difference. However, the biggest thing that made me like the movie a lot and kind of interested in rewatching it was its inspirations.

You can very clearly tell that the director really likes the films by Japanese director

Spoiler:

Kiyoshi Kuroasawa. The initial concept with the villain is unnerving, and very similar to the opening and plot-line of Cure. Strange amnesic with some dark history randomly enters the film. Then, the last act of the film is basically, "what if what happens in Pulse was a supervillain/superpower? While not as creepy as Pulse, the visuals are very unnerving. I loved it. That paired with the loose visuals to allusions make me think I'm not crazy.

Kino!

I really liked this one, 9/10 for the Thunderbolts.

Kristen Ritter is officially back as Jessica Jones for season 2 of Daredevil Born Again.

I watched Brave New World. It's fine. A little overstuffed, juggling too many elements to pull everything together especially well, but it's not the worst MCU entry by any means. If actually kept everything pretty straight-faced and serious, attempting to let things have some actual gravity rather than sprinkling in needless humor (mostly), so big points for that. The action was never staged very effectively, but there were some cool moments here and there, and the naval battle around Celestial Island made for a cool set piece. The Leader was very flat and forgettable, unfortunately, no charisma at all, but Harrison Ford did a solid job to make up for it. A decent lower-mid-tier sort of MCU entry overall.

I heard test screen for F4 is mid and they're freaking out. I heard post credit is

Spoiler:

"F4 are in MCU for those who watched Thunderbolt* and Susan Storm was checking on her child Frankin and Victor Von Doom was there watching over the child with his mask off and you see his scar.

I Personally don't think that F4 and Doomsday will do well at box office I do truly feel that people had check out MCU after end game.

I finally got to Guardians 3. It was pretty great, actually, easily one of the best of the Multiverse saga. It was a solid sendoff for the original lineup, full of the dumb fun you expect from the Guardians, but willing to get serious in digging into some of their past trauma. On that note, there is some dark shit in Rocket's backstory. Like, they did not pull punches with some of that. I'm betting some kids were bawling in the theater; I would have been one of them. The High Evolutionary is probably a top ten MCU villain, over the top evil and unhinged, charismatic and memorable, and played very well by Chukwudi Iwuji. The action delivered, too, especially the climactic hallway brawl.

Punisher is coming after Spiderman. John Berenthal has officially joined the cast of Brand New Day.

Very interesting. Maybe Punisher will buy into Jameson's "Spider-Man is a menace!" rhetoric and go after him because of it? That could be cool and timely if done well, highlighting the power of media sensationalism to fuel violent vigilantism.
