- Two extra superpowered people are rumored to look in Avengers 5 and 6
- She-Hulk star Tatiana Maslany has been linked with roles in a single or each Marvel films
- Scarlet Witch actor Elizabeth Olsen has seemingly dominated herself out of exhibiting up
I hope you are prepared for a packed yr of Marvel casting rumors, as two extra stars have been linked with roles within the subsequent two Avengers films.
With filming as a consequence of start on Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars within the close to future, hypothesis is rife over who’ll really seem within the cinematic double-header. And, relying on whether or not you select to consider or disregard the most recent gossip, She-Hulk and/or Scarlet Witch could also be in line to characteristic.
Let’s begin with the latter as a result of we have now precise quotes from Elizabeth Olsen, the actor behind Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, about her potential involvement.
Or, ought to I say, lack of involvement. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Olsen implied she will not present up within the movies that’ll seemingly cap the Marvel Multiverse Saga, as a consequence of her taking pictures the pilot for a brand new FX TV present known as Seven Sisters. That challenge might be filmed in LA – i.e. half a world away from principal images starting in earnest on Doomsday in London.
Olsen is not the primary Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) star to disclaim they’re a part of a film’s forged, solely to truly seem, thoughts you (I’m primarily you, Andrew Garfield!).
Sure, Maximoff remains to be regarded as lifeless, having seemingly perished in Doctor Strange 2. Marvel followers do not want reminding, although, that no person ever stays lifeless within the Marvel Universe, comedian books or in any other case. We did not really see Scarlet Witch chunk the mud within the aforementioned movie, both – and everyone knows that, except we really see the physique, there is no assure that somebody is gone for good.
It’s for these causes that MCU devotees have raised a collective eyebrow over Olsen’s newest feedback, with many believing she’s bluffing over a possible look. I assume we’ll discover out if Olsen was telling the reality or not when Avengers 5 and 6 make their theatrical debuts.
Green with envy
As for Maslany’s doable casting in a single or each Marvel Phase 6 initiatives, that is equally troublesome to quantify. There is agency proof, although, that Bruce Banner’s cousin might make her first MCU look since 2022’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law in Doomsday and/or its sequel.
On March 20, a publish on the Comic-Con Liverpool X/Twitter account confirmed that Maslany, who was set to attend the occasion, needed to pull out as a consequence of “filming commitments”.
Now, a fast scan of Maslany’s IMDb web page suggests principal images is because of start on one in all three new initiatives she’s set to star in – none of that are Marvel-related. That hasn’t stopped MCU followers from leaping to conclusions, although, and theorizing that She-Hulk will make her big-screen debut very quickly.
It could be simple to scoff at such hypothesis. However, She-Hulk featured in a few leaked idea artwork photographs for Avengers 5 and 6 earlier in March. Is that paintings the driving drive behind this gossip? Perhaps. For what it is price, Doomsday and Secret Wars‘ administrators, Joe and Anthony Russo, say that idea artwork has nothing to do with the subsequent two Avengers flicks.
So, learn into that what you’ll – and lots of have. Indeed, whether or not it is on varied Reddit threads, ResetEra, or different social media shops and boards, followers are debating if the pair will seem. Some assume they’ll, others aren’t so certain, and a few are merely sitting on the fence. All of them, although, are certain by the identical factor: they’re already uninterested in the sheer variety of forged rumors which are circulating on-line.
All of that mentioned, with pre-production set to make method for principal images shortly, a clearer image is beginning to emerge about what we will count on from this film pairing.
On the storytelling entrance, the Russos solely informed me that Doomsday and Secret Wars will “draw inspiration” from each ‘Secret Wars’ comedian ebook sequence. The pair additionally did not deny that heroes from Marvel TV exhibits on Disney+ will seem in Avengers 5 and 6. Oh, and the 2 movies will herald “a brand new starting” for the MCU in additional methods than one.
As for different forged rumors, Doctor Strange star Benedict Cumberbatch initially mentioned he would not seem in Doomsday, earlier than backtracking on these feedback days later. Robert Downey Jr, who’s set to play the Multiverse Saga’s new Big Bad in Doctor Doom, is not the one unique Avenger who’ll reportedly return to the MCU, both, as former Captain America star Chris Evans has additionally been linked with the flicks. However, Scarlett Johansson has poured chilly water on her returning as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.
