Kevin Feige Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

EXCLUSIVE: After making all five episodes available on Tuesday, Marvel Studios‘ Echo has premiered at No. 1 on both the Disney+ and Hulu platforms.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Robert Downey Jr. appeared on Rob Lowe’s “Literally!” podcast and said that his run as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe marked some of the best acting of his career, but “it went a little bit unnoticed because of the genre.” The Oscar nominee played the character for 11 years, exiting the MCU in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said last month that he won’t be asking Downey Jr. to return to the MCU as to preserve Tony Stark’s emotional ending (“We all worked very hard for many years to get to that, and we would never want to magically undo it in any way,” he said), but that hasn’t stopped rumors from circulating that Marvel desperately wants Iron Man back to help restore the MCU to its glory days.

Sure, Feige would probably love to have Mann involved in a superhero project, but let’s be real, the filmmaker isn’t someone who would likely decide to work within the Marvel content factory.

Marvel will reportedly “change” the title of the forthcomng Avengers movie after lead star Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assault.On Monday (December 18), the actor was dropped by Marvel Studios immediately after the verdict, which saw a jury find him guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. He could now be facing up to a year in prison.Majors previously played the role of Kang the Conqueror in 2023’s Ant-Man And The Wasp Quantumania and the Disney+ series Loki.

Whether it’s true or not, 2023 will largely go down as a bad year for Marvel Studios. A couple of the films greatly underperformed (“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels”) and one of the TV shows was just a big turd (“Secret Wars”).
