There are only three weeks left of what has turned out to be a fantastic second season of Agents of SHIELD. The cast and crew revealed this week that they have finished filming this season. Agents of SHIELD has not yet been renewed for a third season but it is very likely that ABC and Marvel will pick it up again.

Shortlist for Spider-Man Actors Revealed
Spider-Man is nearing his debut in the MCU as rumors stating that he will appear in Captain America: Civil War, which starts filming next week. Marvel and Sony has not yet locked down an actor to take on the iconic role but they have started to narrow the hunt. Jeff Sneider of The Wrap broke a story where his sources told him that Asa Butterfield, Nat Wolff, Tom Holland, Timothée Chalamet, Liam James, and few more are in the running. These actors range from 18 to 20, with Asa Butterfield being the biggest name revealed so far.
Doctor Strange May Visit Netflix
Doctor Strange is currently slated to make his debut in the MCU when his solo film, Doctor Strange, hits theaters in 2016. This week, Bleeding Cool ran a scoop that they are being told that Doctor Strange will in fact debut on Netflix first. This is an interesting rumor as they go on to say they are unsure if Benedict Cumberbatch would be the one to play him. They also say that he will appear in Iron Fist but that is currently scheduled to come out after Doctor Strange hits theaters, so that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
