Spider-Man
Marvel and Sony have actively been searching for a new Peter Parker, or Miles Morales, and they seem to be targeting very young actors. Thanks to Devin Faraci of Badass Digest, we know that Marvel has held an audition with 16 year old actor Mateus Ward. Marvel and Sony want someone who can be the face of the MCU for the next 15 or so years, so getting such a young actor is a no-brainer. His first solo movie is set to come out in 2017 but he may be getting some screen time and introduction to the MCU in Captain America: Civil War, which begins production soon.
Inhumans
Whether you like Vin Diesel or not, he is a big box office draw. His fans have wanted him to join the MCU for quite some time, so they got their wish when he signed on to voice Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. At the time, Diesel said this was a way to please his fans but that something bigger may be in store. He has teased him being cast as Black Bolt, the leader of the Inhumans, for years and he did it again this week. He told MTV, "You know, I enjoyed the experience of playing Groot. A lot of it was the great cast, and the genius of James Gunn. But I also enjoyed, you know, entering into the Marvel world. And...good things will come from that."
Avengers: Infinity War
After Captain America: The Winter Soldier flipped the MCU upside down, Marvel started negotiations with the films directors Joe and Anthony Russo to keep them around for the foreseeable future. It appears that they have done just that. The brothers are already set to direct Captain America: Civil War and it has now been revealed they have signed on to direct both parts of Avengers: Infinity War. Marvel has yet to confirm this, which was first reported by Devin Faraci of Badass Digest.
Captain Marvel
Depending on who you ask, you will get very different answers to whether or not we will meet Carol Danvers in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Supreme Scooper El Mayimbe says he has been told that she will appear near the end of the movie and that she has in fact already been cast. Who is Carol Danvers is being kept a secret but everyone has a list of their favorite candidates. El Mayimbe seemed to indicate on Twitter that it is not rising star Natalie Dormer.
It has been widely assumed that Captain Marvel will have a female director, with Angelina Jolie even been rumored to have an offer of $20 million to direct. Jeff Sneider from the Wrap dropped a small scoop on Meet the Movie Press that Captain Marvel will indeed have a female director. Sneider says that Marvel is down to two candidates and that we may have announcement before summer begins.
Agents of SHIELD
Agents of SHIELD is picking up steam during a great second season. If you haven't been watching or know someone who stopped during season 1, you all should really reconsider. The ramifications from the events in the show are sure to appear in the larger scale of the MCU. Episode 14 debuted this week which gave us more knowledge of the "Real SHIELD" and brought Ward (Brett Dalton) back to the show. Check out our full review of the episode here.The poster on the left is a promo for episode 15, "One Door Closes" and brings Mockingbird (Adrianne Palicki) to the forefront.
Marvel also titled and gave the synopsis for episode 17, "Melinda." Read the full synopsis here as we learn how Agent May (Ming-Na Wen) got her nickname of The Calvary.
A small rumor started on Twitter when KDNL ABC30 News shared that the Agents of SHIELD finale may be a 2 hour special. This would certainly be a surprise and fantastic based on the way Marvel has shaped this season. The finale is scheduled to come out May 19th, which is only a few weeks after Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters.
Marvel has continued to promote Avengers: Age of Ultron by shared the above banner plus much more. Marvel also released 13 fun facts about the film that included information on Banner's pants, the Hulkbuster suits development, how they monitor Banner's rage, the Twins, and more. Check out the full list on Comicbook.com.
The studio has also released a new international TV spot for Avengers: Age of Ultron that showed off some new fighting movies by Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans).
Buzzfeed was also able to release the information they got from a late set visit. The interview talked to director Joss Whedon, Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), and Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Quicksilver). We've already posted the highlights of the interview here but you can also read the entire interview by Buzzfeed for more information.
Daredevil
We are now less than two weeks away from the entire world being able to binge watch Daredevil in its entirety on Netflix. The show will surely see Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio) battle with one another but it seems likely that they will each have more friends to help. It remains to be seen who will side with who but Marvel did tease the alliances in the two photos below.
