‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Filmmaker Shawn Levy Enters The Mix To Possibly Direct ‘Avengers 5’ For Marvel

EXCLUSIVE: Chad Powers has found its first director.

We all know Marvel Studios loves a team-up movie. Even their “solo” movies typically feature another recognizable name in the supporting cast.

She is six months into her role in Hollyoaks and soap queen Rita Simons is loving her time on the show, but isn’t finding it easy being away from her family and friends.The former EastEnders actress who played Albert Square’s fan favourite Roxy Mitchell took on the part of Marie Fielding in the soap and is thrilled to be part of the cast. But accepting the Hollyoaks job meant she had to relocate from her home in London to the North West and away from her loved ones – a tough decision for the devoted mum of 18-year-old twin daughters. And it has certainly been a roller-coaster few years for the star who also appears in reality show Drama Queens and has spoken out about her menopause experience, hysterectomy and marriage break-up.

The 2024 box office is in the pits, clearly, and Sony just bought the Alamo Drafthouse in a disturbing, do-anything-to-survive sign of the times. But is there hope on the horizon, with Marvel’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” already expected to save the 2024 box office? Well, the early word is massive and good.

In this week’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo goes back in time to realize not much has changed with the film, “Firebrand.” Directed by Karim Ainouz (“Invisible Life,” “Futuro Beach”), the film follows Catherine Parr (Alicia Vikander), the sixth wife of Henry VIII (Jude Law), who finds herself fighting for survival when the paranoid king grows more suspicious of her actions.

Taylor Swift is not set to star in the upcoming superhero movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, despite speculation from fans.According to an exclusive report by Entertainment Weekly, the singer of ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ will not be making an appearance in the next instalment of the Marvel franchise.Despite IMAX posting an Instagram picture yesterday showing its two heroes holding hands and wearing friendship bracelets, a symbol of Swift fandom and more specifically ‘The Eras Tour’, it has been revealed that the singer won’t be involved in the film.The rumours began after fans noticed the film’s stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in attendance with Swift at a Kansas City Chiefs game last October, along with the film’s director Shawn Levy.Some fans of MCU speculated that she might portray the comic book character Dazzler in the upcoming movie.It’s well known that Swift is friends with both Reynolds and Levy, with the former attending her recent show along with his wife Blake Lively, and Swift including their children’s names in her song ‘betty’, and with Levy starring in Swift’s short film All Too Well.However, it seems Swift’s friendships with Levy and Reynolds don’t necessarily suggest her involvement in the film, which will be next month.While neither Levy nor Reynolds addressed the rumour for some time, Levy told EW in April: “I regret that I was not quicker to shut it down the first time, so I’m going to default to my very true situation, which is as much as we love each other, the fear of death is so intense in me regarding Ryan and how he desperately wants to avoid talking about all of these proliferating rumours.”Back in May, Jackman, Levy and Reynolds spoke with Fandango about the rumour.

The world of Taylor Swift took a bite out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe a while ago, as rumors began to swirl that the singer would show up in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Fans were convinced the singer would either show up as Lady Deadpool or Dazzler in the film. The rumors burned hotter when people saw Blake Lively (Ryan Reynolds’ wife) show up at the Super Bowl to hang out with Swift.

After months and months of rumors, Taylor Swift is reportedly NOT making a cameo in the upcoming film Deadpool and Wolverine.
