SUPER BOWL LIX SNACKS

News

X-Men (12:10)

Insider says they’re casting for upcoming movie

Harris Dickinson (The Iron Claw and Babygirl) as Scott Summers, a.k.a. Cyclops; Sadie Sink (Stranger Things and The Whale) as Jean Grey; and Julia Butters (Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and The Gray Man) as Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat

Rumor: Javier Bardem eyed to play Mister Sinister as villain of film

Other rumors say Iceman will be in film as well

Rumor: No origin story movie, as they’ll have been around and are already a team

Captain America: Brave New World (19:50)

Will be released this week in theaters

Director confirms Adamantium is more durable than Vibranium and teases it will become part of Project X and Wolverine in MCU

Black Panther 3 (25:00)

Producer says Wakandans will have something to say about Adamantium being introduced vs their Vibranium

Rumor: Black Panther variants could show up in next Avengers movies, so not a direct recast

Rumor: Ryan Coogler is interested in leaning into a more horror/supernatural/thriller tone for this film.

His next film is the Sinners movie with Michael B Jordan/vampires

Avengers: Doomsday (29:35)

Rumor: Spider-Man to have a huge role in film

Rumor: There’s a reason he has THAT face referring to Robert Downey Jr as Victor Von Doom

Rumor: Plan is not to kill Loki, but possibly bring him off his role as Time Keeper, and have a reunion with Thor

World War Hulk (35:00)

Rumor: Film could play out in Battleworld, news possibly before Comic-Con in July

Moon Knight (38:28)

Rumor: "look up Memento, American Horror Story: Hotel and 'Ei8ht' from Treehouse of Horror XXXIV" for Season 2 inspiration

Strange Academy (41:00)

Could turn into Animated feature instead of live-action series

Same with Power Pack as previously reported

Vision Quest (43:00)

Ruaridh Mollica had been cast in Vision as a series regular called "Tucker."

Could be Tommy Maximoff’s real name, or if Vision builds his own family as Vin

Terry Matalas (Star Trek Picard/Showrunner), Christopher J Byrne (American Gods), and Vincenzo Natali (Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities) as directors of episodes

Fantastic Four: First Steps (45:15)

Teaser trailer released for upcoming film

Invisible Woman, The Thing, Johnny Storm, but no Mister Fantastic Powers

Reed has a long chalkboard and is researching the multiverse

Galactus shadow and over the shoulder in New York

Baxter Building very prominent

John Malkovich shows up - theories are Doctor Doom from Earth X or Red Ghost, a cold war villain trying to replicate the experiment that gave F4 their powers

Jurassic World Rebirth (54:30)

Trailer released this week takes us back to Isla Nublar, to revisit the original Jurassic Park site

Need DNA from 3 biggest dinosaurs in the area with abilities to help people

MORE DNA splicing, looks to be Human & Dinosaur mix or some kind of mutant

The Authority (1:01:25)

Rumor: Movie is being “reworked” since announcement

Some discussion about it being animated back in November, but not the same idea as when it was included with Gunn’s Gods and Monsters panel

Blue Beetle (1:03:15)

Animated series worked on this year to debut in 2026

Unsure if soft reboot again or continuing the movie

2023 film was pretty disconnected from DCEU at large
