Tony Stark Could Re-Appear In The Marvel Cinematic Universe A Lot Sooner Than You’d Think

Ernie Hudson finally confirms his return for Ghostbusters 2020. New Goddess of Thunder or otherwise, Chris Hemsworth is still the star of Thor: Love & Thunder, according to Taika Waititi. New novels give us our best look yet at Birds of Prey’s heroines. Plus, a look at the Killjoys finale and more Batwoman teases. Spoilers, assemble!

Black Widow

During a recap of the Saturn Awards winners, Deadline casually reports that Robert Downey, Jr. will reprise his role as the late Tony Stark “one more time” in the upcoming Black Widow.


Ghostbusters 2020

Ernie Hudson confirmed he will return as Winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters 2020 in, of all places, the middle of a fan’s personalised birthday greeting posted to Cameo.

In related news, Ivan Reitman described Paul Rudd’s character as “a seismologist who’s come to this small town because they’ve been having mysterious earthquakes — he’s also teaching summer school there” during a recent interview with ET Online promoting the Ghostbusters maze at Halloween Horror Nights.


Nightmare Alley

According to THR, Toni Collette will play “a mentalist named Zeena who mentors the protagonist” in Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming film adaptation of the 1940’s noir-thriller, Nightmare Alley.


Things Heard and Seen

Meanwhile, Amanda Seyfriend is in talks to star in a new “supernatural thriller” based on Elizabeth Brundage’s novel, All Things Cease to Appear from American Splendor writers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini. The story concerns a newlywed couple moving to a farmhouse in upstate New York where the previous residents were gruesomely murdered. [THR]


Thor: Love & Thunder

In conversation with MTV News, Taika Waititi confirmed Chris Hemsworth’s Thor will remain the lead character in Love & Thunder, even with Natalie Portman’s new incarnation.

It’s Chris. It’s a Thor film. He is Thor, it’s a Thor film. She’s in it.


Mission: Impossible 7 & 8

Hayley Atwell confirmed she will appear in the “next TWO Mission: Impossible movies” on Instagram.

I had a go at a ‘photo grid’ in an attempt to display some tech-savvy-millennial skills. For those of you who don’t know, this involves nine separate posts loaded one at a time which only come together as a complete image when someone views the profile page. Some of the comments were of the ‘wot-is-goin-on-u-can’t-frame-a-picture, mate’ variety SO, to ease the confusion, here is my news in one post….. I’m thrilled to have joined @tomcruise and @christophermcquarrie for the next TWO Mission Impossible movies. To have gone from a classical play in the west-end to an audio book recording of a great new novel to a Disney/Marvel animation and now the female lead in a huge action franchise is the kind of variety that fuels my curiosity and keeps me learning and striving to be better and do better. I can’t wait to start sharing this adventure with you. Mostly in the form of effusive, sweaty ranting about stunt training while spontaneously vomiting with excitement/exhaustion. Lucky you. ????
