Ironheart: New MCU Avengers Tower Owner Reportedly Revealed

A new Ironheart rumor may have finally revealed just who purchased Avengers Tower in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Who might own Avengers Tower in Ironheart?

According to insider @MyTimeToShineH, Avengers Tower was purchased by Mephisto in human form, as the demon owns a tech company. Ironheart villain The Hood — played by Anthony Ramos — will apparently be stealing tech for Mephisto, though why the demonic character is interested in tech is not mentioned.

In the comics, Mephisto is a demon who often makes dangerous deals with others and serves as an antagonist to quite a few Marvel heroes. He’s the being that original Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze sold his soul to as well as the one who took Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson’s marriage in exchange for Aunt May’s life.

Ironheart will be led by Dominique Thorne (If Beale Street Could Talk), who will be taking on the role of Riri Williams. Joining Thorne are Anthony Ramos (In the Heights), Manny Montana (Good Girls), Lyric Ross (This is Us), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story), Zoe Terakes (Nine Perfect Strangers), Shea Couleé (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Regan Aliyah, and GLOW alum Shakira Barrera.

Ironheart hails from head writer Chinaka Hodge (Snowpiercer). It is being directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes, with Ryan Coogler executive producing through his Proximity banner. The genius titular hero made her MCU debut in last year’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Succession Creator Details Where Characters Are At After Series Finale

Succession creator Jesse Armstrong has addressed the Roy siblings’ future following the acclaimed drama’s nearly 90-minute-long series finale. Speaking with Deadline, Armstrong has revealed what happens to Roman, Shiv, and Kendall after none of them were able to become their father’s successor.

He confirmed that out of the trio, Shiv might still have the potential to reclaim the company due to her current role as the wife of the new CEO. As for Kendall, the failure to become the CEO will forever haunt him throughout his life, while Roman will be reverting back to his old ways.

“In a reductive, brutal way, Roman ends up exactly where he started. He is that guy still. And he maybe could have easily been a playboy jerk with some slightly nasty instincts and some quite funny jokes. He could have stayed in a bar being that guy, and this has been a bit of a detour in his life, I’d say,” Armstrong said. “Shiv is still in play, I’d say, in a rather terrifying, frozen, emotionally barren place. But she has got this kind of non-victory, non-defeat. I mean there’s gonna be some movement there. There’s still a lot of that game to play out, but that’s where we leave it, and it feels like it’s going to be hard to progress for them emotionally given the things they said to each other. For Kendall, this will never stop being the central event of his life, the central days of his life, central couple of years of his life. Maybe he could go on and start a company…but the chances of achieving the sort of corporate status that dad achieved are very low go, and I think that will mark his whole life.”

Who’s the Cast of Succession?

Succession starred Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Alan Ruck, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Nicholas Braun, Matthew Macfadyen, J. Smith-Cameron, Peter Friedman, David Rasche, Fisher Stevens, Hiam Abbass, Cherry Jones, Alexander Skarsgård, Stephen Root and more.The Emmy winning series was created and executive produced by showrunner Jesse Armstrong, Adam McKay, Frank Rich, Kevin Messick, Jane Tranter, Mark Mylod, Tony Roche, Scott Ferguson, Jon Brown, Lucy Prebble, Will Tracy, and Will Ferrell.

A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed.”

The series stars Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Alan Ruck, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Nicholas Braun, Matthew Macfadyen, J. Smith-Cameron, Peter Friedman, David Rasche, Fisher Stevens, Hiam Abbass, Cherry Jones, Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd, Stephen Root, and more.

ComicBook.com is reporting that Half Baked 2’s official title is Half Baked: Totally High and that the sequel has received an R rating from the Motion Picture Association.

Though the original movie‘s stars — Dave Chappelle and Jim Breuer — are not expected to make any sort of appearance in the new movie, Rachel True will be reprising her role as Mary Jane while comedian Harland Williams is returning as Kenny Davis.

“We are thrilled to announce the next chapter in Half Baked, with new characters and a hilarious story that is sure to satisfy followers of the original film while attracting a whole new generation of fans,” said Glenn Ross, General Manager and Executive Vice President at Universal 1440 Entertainment last November. “The sequel features a talented young cast alongside Rachel True reprising her role as the fan-favorite ‘Mary Jane.’ We can’t wait to show audiences where the story goes from here.”

“When a member of their crew gets arrested for killing a New York City police horse by feeding it junk food, three slackin’ stoners are forced to get off their butts and raise bail by selling pot stolen from a pharmaceutical lab,” reads the original film’s synopsis. “It’s a risky plan but, hey, these are stand-up guys who would do anything to help out a friend in need.”

The Ice Road 2 Picked up by Prime Video, Liam Neeson to Return

Amazon Prime Video is set to buy the pre-international rights to a sequel to the hit action film The Ice Road, according to a recent report from Deadline.

The sequel, titled Ice Road 2: Road To The Sky, will see Liam Neeson return to star in the film. According to Deadline’s report, no official deal is done, but their sources mention that Amazon is extremely close to acquiring the rights to the film in the international market outside of Germany.

What will Ice Road 2 be about?

The sequel will see Neeson reprise his role as ice road driver Mike McCann, who is traveling to Nepal to honor his late brother’s last wishes of scattering his ashes on Mt. Everest. “While on a packed tour bus traversing the deadly 12,000 ft. terrain of the infamous Road to the Sky, McCann and his mountain guide encounter a group of Nepalese mercenaries and must fight not only to save themselves and the busload of innocent travelers, but also the local villagers’ homeland,” reads the synopsis for the film.

Alongside Neeson, writer-director Jonathan Hensleigh will also return to the film. The original film starred Neeson, Benjamin Walker, Amber Midthunder, Marcus Thomas, Laurence Fishburne, and many others, but it’s unclear if any will return for the sequel.

The Ice Road was released by Netflix in 2021, and earned mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike.

The original movie centered on the collapse of a diamond mine in Northern Canada. Following the collapse, “a ‘big rig’ ice road driver must lead an impossible rescue mission over a frozen ocean to save the trapped miners. Contending with thawing waters and a massive storm, they discover the real threat is one they never saw coming.”

Andy Muschietti Explains Surprise Cameo in The Flash

The Flash is set to be a multidimensional story, meaning various characters from different timelines in the DC Universe will appear in the film. One of those characters will be Nicolas Cage’s Superman, as director Andy Muschietti confirmed the actor’s surprise cameo in The Flash.

“Nic was absolutely wonderful. Although the role was a cameo, he dove into it,” Muschietti said to Esquire Middle East. “I dreamt all my life to work with him. I hope I can work with him again soon.” Muchietti also noted that Cage is a “comic book fanatic” and a “massive Superman fan.”

25 years ago, Cage was cast as Superman in Tim Burton’s Superman Lives. However, Warner Bros. canceled the project due to production issues and script problems.

What to Expect in The Flash?

“Worlds collide in The Flash when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past,” the official synopsis reads. “But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?”

Ezra Miller reprises his role as Barry Allen / The Flash, who last appeared in the DCEU for Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Starring alongside Miller will be Sasha Calle as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, Ron Livingston as Henry Allen, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Antje Traue as Faora-Ul, and Kiersey Clemons as Iris West. Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck will reprise their versions of Bruce Wayne/Batman, respectively.

The Flash is directed by Muschietti from a screenplay by Christina Hodson. Muschietti’s sister, Barbara, will produce alongside Michael Disco. The Flash belongs to the DCEU but will serve as a continuity reset to shape the new DC Universe.

The Flash speeds into theaters on June 16.

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken Trailer Features Evil Mermaids

A brand new Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken trailer for DreamWorks Animation‘s upcoming fantasy comedy has dropped, featuring the voices of Lana Condor and Jane Fonda. The film is slated to hit the theaters on June 30.

The video shows a socially-awkward teenage girl who discovers that she actually comes from a royal lineage of Krakens. It highlights her journey into discovering her true powers and becoming the hero she’s meant to be. It also teases her feud against the Krakens’ long-time enemies, the Mermaids who turned out to be the true villains.

Check out the Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken trailer below (watch more trailers):

What to Expect in Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken?

“Sweet, awkward 16-year-old Ruby Gillman is desperate to fit in at Oceanside High, but she mostly just feels invisible. She’s math-tutoring her skater-boy crush, who only seems to admire her for her fractals, and she’s prevented from hanging out with the cool kids at the beach because her over-protective supermom has forbade Ruby from ever getting in the water,” reads the synopsis.

“But when she breaks her mom’s #1 rule, Ruby will discover that she is a direct descendant of the warrior Kraken queens and is destined to inherit the throne from her commanding grandmother, the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas. The Kraken are sworn to protect the oceans of the world against the vain, power-hungry mermaids who have been battling with the Kraken for eons. There’s one major, and immediate, problem with that: The school’s beautiful, popular new girl, Chelsea just happens to be a mermaid. Ruby will ultimately need to embrace who she is and go big to protect those she loves most.”

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is directed by Oscar nominee Kirk DeMicco and Faryn Pearl. The film features the voices of Lana Condor as Ruby, Jane Fonda as a Warrior Kraken Queen, Toni Collette as Ruby’s mom, Jaboukie Young-White, Annie Murphy as Chelsea, Colman Domingo as Ruby’s supportive dad, E Sam Richardson as Ruby’s enthusiastic uncle and Blue Chapman as Ruby’s cool little brother.

The film is produced by Kelly Cooney Cilella. Additional cast includes Will Forte, Nicole Byer, Liza Koshy, Ramona Young, Eduardo Franco, and Echo Kellum.

Vin Diesel: Female-Led Fast & Furious Spin-off Movie in Development

The world of Fast & Furious is growing. Vin Diesel recently said that a female-led Fast & Furious spin-off movie is currently in development.

What’s new on the Fast & Furious female spin-off movie?

Speaking to Variety at a recent Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) Block Party, Diesel said that a spin-off movie centered on the franchise’s women is in the works. Diesel went on to say that once the mainline films have concluded, he can “launch all the spin-offs.”

“I started developing the female spinoff…in 2017 with other spinoffs, and the sooner I deliver the finale, the sooner I can launch all the spinoffs,” Diesel said.

A female-led Fast & Furious spin-off movie has been in the works for years. As Diesel noted in his comments, talk of it began in 2017. In 2019, the star posted a photo to Instagram hinting that writers Nicole Perlman, Lindsey Beer, and Geneva Roberston-Dworet had joined the project after pitching him an idea on the movie.

It’s unclear if any of these writers are still involved with the project.

Recently, the 10th entry in the mainline Fast & Furious series, Fast X, debuted. A sequel to that film is set to release in 2025; a final, third film was also recently announced by Diesel, and will officially end the Fast & Furious franchise. Release information for that third film is unknown as now.

Iconic Roles: The Best Jason Statham Action Movies

Jason Statham is one hell of a tough guy, but what are his best movies ever? Since his career launched with two Guy Ritchie movies in the late 1990s, he has made a name for himself as a hardboiled character in many iconic action movies. He is reprising his role as Deckard Shaw in the new movie, Fast X, which is the tenth main installment in the Fast & Furious franchise. His career is going strong, as he previously appeared in Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre this year and will later be appearing in Meg 2: The Trench. With that in mind, here’s a list of some of the best Jason Statham action movies from his career.

Crank (2006)

One of the most over-the-top movies in his career, Crank stars Statham as Chev Chelios, whose heart has been injected with a drug that will kill him if he does not keep his adrenaline high. The movie follows Chelios as he must commit insane, violent acts to keep his adrenaline going. Imagine the 1994 movie Speed, but instead of a bus, you get Jason Statham. This is a non-stop riot, giving absurd scenes and ideas at every turn. It’s the type of film that stays at 100 the entire time and never comes down, which is why it kicks off our list of the best Jason Statham action movies.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

The buddy cop subgenre of action films is not as prevalent as it was in the ’80s and ’90s. However, every once in a while, we get a throwback like Hobbs & Shaw. This Fast & Furious spin-off takes the characters played by Statham and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and teams them up to fight Brixton (Idris Elba), a genetically enhanced soldier. This is a quintessential mismatch of two famed action heroes sharing the screen and kicking ass together while trading insults and banter. It may be a long way from the roots of Fast & Furious, but this is a gleefully ridiculous action comedy where every law of physics is thrown out the window.

The Expendables 2 (2012)

Statham appears in all three of The Expendables films and will be co-starring in the fourth movie later this year. However, his best outing as Lee Christmas is the second one, which is the best overall film. Although the movie is notable for bringing Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis together to fight Jean-Claude Van Damme’s villain (named Vilain), the movie is more than just fan service for fans of old action movies. Statham gets many moments to shine as part of this action ensemble, such as his battle with martial artist Scott Adkins and his one-liner, “I now pronounce you man and knife.” It’s no wonder he is set to take over the series after Stallone’s departure.

The Meg (2018)

Although Statham is known for his pure action films, this is a movie that contains elements of horror, science fiction, and comedy as well. When you can’t make a shark movie as good as Jaws or as ridiculous as Sharknado, you cast Jason Statham in the lead and make the shark a whole lot bigger. There is a sequel coming out later this year, but before then, it’s crucial to watch this very fun movie about Jonas Taylor saving a crew from a 75-foot prehistoric shark called the Megalodon.

Spy (2015)

This one may not be the one you would expect, as Statham is not the star of the show here. However, he is the scene-stealer in this Melissa McCarthy action-comedy vehicle, where he plays Rick Ford, a badass spy who sometimes feels like a parody of his other roles. This is easily the funniest role he has had in a film, as he plays a character who takes his job so seriously that it becomes comical. There is a scene where Ford lists every badass feat he has accomplished, and each thing he says gets more absurd than the last. Although McCarthy is the headliner, Statham makes every scene he’s in much better in this wonderfully hilarious film, which completes our list of the best Jason Statham action movies.

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty Reportedly Removes Writer Jeff Loveness

According to industry insider Jeff Sneider on The Hot Mic Podcast, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania writer Jeff Loveness is no longer writing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.

Is Jeff Loveness still writing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty?

In the most recent episode of the podcast, Sneider revealed that, according to his sources, Loveness is “off of” the upcoming Avengers film and that the decision was made prior to when the WGA strike began earlier this month.

“This is unconfirmed,” Sneider asserted. “My source is saying that Jeff Loveness is off of [Avengers:] The Kang Dynasty, and that he fell off before the strike.”

Sneider was then asked if Marvel is restarting the Phase 6 film with a new writer. He confirmed that this is true and that it sounds like the studio is “going in another direction.”

“Yes, that is exactly what it means,” he stated. “Jeff Loveness, deserved or not, got a lot of criticism for his scripts and, yes, it sounds like they are going in another direction … from what my source says.”

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty will be directed by Shang-Chi filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton, who’s also currently working with Marvel Studios on its live-action series adaptation of Wonder Man. According to Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige during the panel, both of the new Avengers films are currently planned to be the final entries in Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will begin with the introduction of the Fantastic Four into the MCU.

The film is currently scheduled to make its debut in theaters on May 2, 2025, it will then shortly be followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on November 7, 2025.

Kevin Costner Reveals His Reason for Directing Dances With Wolves

Before Yellowstone, the Western film or TV show most associated with Kevin Costner was Dances With Wolves. The 1990 film won seven Oscars, including Best Director for Costner and Best Picture, notably beating out Martin Scorsese and Goodfellas. However, Costner never intended to direct the film.

Why Did Kevin Costner Direct Dances With Wolves?

In an interview with Deadline, Costner spoke about his experience on Dances With Wolves and how he first asked multiple directors to helm his passion project. Costner revealed how the project was compared to Heaven’s Gate, Michael Cimino’s 1980 western that was considered one of the worst films ever made upon its release.

“I know when I was making Dances with Wolves, they were calling it ‘Kevin’s Gate,’ even though they didn’t know that I put all my money into this thing,” Costner said. “I actually asked three other directors to direct it before me.”

Costner further explained how each director wanted to remove certain aspects of the film, including a crucial Civil War sequence. This forced Costner to direct the film since he did not want to “leave anything out.” The gamble paid off as Dances With Wolves would become the fourth-highest-grossing film of 1990 with $424 million worldwide.

“They each had kind of very pronounced ideas about what they wouldn’t leave in the movie. They’re very well-known directors,” Costner said. “One said I should get rid of the Civil War sequence and start with them out there in the middle of nowhere. Another said, ‘The white girl, it’s a cliché.’ Well, it wasn’t a cliché. In the West, slaves were traded. They were very valuable in the commerce of the West. I finally directed it by default. What I knew was, I wasn’t as good as any of those other directors. But I wasn’t gonna leave anything out.”

Costner is working on his next passion project, Horizon, a two-part Western movie in which he will write, direct, and star. The Oscar winner recently made headlines after announcing he was leaving Yellowstone after the fifth season. However, Paramount decided to end the show with the final episodes of season 5 set to air in November. It is unknown how involved Costner will be in the remaining episodes.

Emma Stone Reportedly Turned Down Fantastic Four Role After Marvel Pay Negotiations

As Marvel Studios searches for the cast of the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe Fantastic Four movie, a rumor has emerged about Emma Stone nearly playing the role of Sue Storm.

Did Emma Stone almost play Sue Storm in the MCU Fantastic Four?

On The Hot Mic Podcast, insider Jeff Sneider reported that, as a rumor from Deadline reporter Justin Kroll has stated, Marvel is building the team around Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman. Because the company views it as the “standout role,” Marvel Studios went for a top actress for the role, with Emma Stone reportedly being the first choice.

Sneider noted that since the A-list actress “knows her worth,” she was open to the part with a salary for $20 million, though Marvel did not want to pay that much to ensure there’s enough money “for the rest of the team.” He also explained that Adam Driver, who is apparently linked to play Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, is not on Stone’s pay level, supporting the idea that Marvel is aiming to more adequately spread out the salaries for the actors of the titular team.

“I’m told that they went to Emma Stone, and for 72 hours, Emma Stone was looking like Sue Storm,” Sneider stated. “We’ll see if Sue Storm ends up being a true movie star role, or someone who they go to for a rising star role which is probably where it’s head.”

Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four will be directed by WandaVision’s Matt Shakman from a screenplay being rewritten by Josh Friedman, based on a draft from Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer. Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts was originally slated to direct the project but decided to drop out in order to take a break from the superhero genre. The movie is set to debut during Phase 6 of the MCU on February 14, 2025.

The Fantastic Four comic debuted in 1961. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, it was the first superhero team title produced by Marvel Comics and popularized famous characters like Sue Storm and Doctor Doom.
