Reshoots have been completed for Doctor Strange 2
This section contains spoilers for a post-credit scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has officially wrapped its reshoots, which may include new characters and cameos within the movie.
Doctor Strange was released in 2016, and saw Benedict Cumberbatch’s introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Doctor Stephen Strange. Since then, the character has been a vital part of the MCU; his second movie is on its way, and it seems that fans could not be more excited.
The sequel will see Doctor Strange attempt to fix the mess he created, namely opening and fracturing the multiverse. The cast as we know it so far from the trailer, seen by some at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home’s cinematic release, includes Benedict Wong returning as Wong, Chiwetel Ejiofor will be back as Mordo, Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer, and in an exciting turn of events, Elizabeth Olsen will be seen in the upcoming feature as Wanda Maximoff, who has now become the Scarlett Witch.
Kevin Feige confirms MCU’s Spider-Man 4 is currently in development
President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, has confirmed that Spider-Man 4 is in active development, however the Tom Holland-led sequel is in early stages.
2017’s Spider-Man Homecoming was the first ever solo movie for the MCU’s Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland. Despite starring in Captain America: Civil War in 2016, Homecoming was the first film that focused wholly on the Webbed Wonder.
This year (2021), saw the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which was the most-anticipated Marvel movie of the year.
Since No Way Home finally released, discussions of what is next for Holland’s Peter Parker are heating up. Feige and No Way Home producer (and Sony employee) Amy Pascal have decided to work together on the next Spidey movie which, according to Feige, is in development as we speak…

DC’s Blue Beetle film set to release in 2023
DC’s live-action Blue Beetle film has been given a 2023 cinematic release date, despite the original plans for the upcoming feature to release on HBO Max as an original movie.
The film will be a solo film for Jaime Reyes, a young Latino who becomes the titular superhero. Blue Beetle is powered by an alien device, known as a scarab, which bestows a super suit upon Jamie that is equipped with various abilities.
Blue Beetle is getting ready to begin filming, and is now slated for release on August 18th, 2023. At the moment, it’s the only feature set to drop on that day.
Kingsman director thinks Henry Cavill would be the perfect 007
After working with Superman actor Henry Cavill on recent spy movie, Argyle, The King’s Man director, Matthew Vaughn, deeply believes that Cavill was born for the role of James Bond.
The release of No Time to Die in September of this year (2021) saw Daniel Craig’s journey as iconic spy James Bond come to an end. Since Craig has said goodbye to a character he has been playing since 2006, audiences are speculating about who will take over this beloved role.
Seeing Cavill act in upcoming movie Argyle has seemingly led Vaughn to see the Justice League actor as the perfect 007. This is a tough role to play, especially since Craig’s portrayal of Bond was so captivating; could Cavill make the perfect 007 agent?
Kick-Ass is getting a reboot according to Matthew Vaughn
In the next two years, according to director of The King’s Man, Matthew Vaughn, 2010’s live-action film Kick-Ass will be getting a reboot.
Vaughn directed the original Kick-Ass movie, which saw Aaron Taylor-Johnson star as Dave, a teenager who wanted to become a real-life superhero and, in doing so, got more than he bargained for as the threats of the world became very, very real.
While fans were expecting a Kick-Ass 3, it seems that they will be getting a reboot instead. The director has stated that the movie is ready to go, and hinted that it may blow some fans’ minds upon release. It is unknown, at the moment, whether the original cast will return, or if we will see fresh new faces, but this reboot should be interesting, to say the least.
