Leaked ‘Avengers: Doomsday' concept art reveals potential plot and character details
Leaked concept art from Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday has surfaced online, offering a possible first look at scenes and characters from the highly anticipated fifth Avengers film. The images, originally posted by concept artist Mushk Rizvi on ArtStation before being removed, suggest a medieval, multiversal, and time-travelling storyline.
Among the most discussed pieces is an image of Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., sitting on a throne in medieval surroundings. The white-and-silver armor seen in the artwork differs from the green cloak revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, raising speculation about alternate timelines or universes.
Other concept art shows Star-Lord and White Vision lounging together, a medieval village populated with Hulk-like figures, and a Young Avengers gathering led by Wong, featuring Cassie Lang, Wiccan, Kate Bishop, and Ms. Marvel. Another piece depicts a variant of Black Panther, rumoured to be Prince T'Challa II, standing before Wakanda's Panther-shaped rock formation.
Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell are confirmed to return, with Atwell reprising her role as Agent Carter. However, Marvel has not revealed if Evans will play Captain America or a different version of Steve Rogers.
Set for release in May 2026, Avengers: Doomsday replaces The Kang Dynasty and will be followed by Avengers: Secret Wars in May 2027. With the Russo brothers directing, fans eagerly await official details on Marvel's next multiversal adventure.

Neil Patrick Harris voices Deadpool in VR game launching 2025 exclusively on Meta Quest 3 and 3S
A new virtual reality title, Marvel's Deadpool VR, is set to launch exclusively on Meta Quest 3 and 3S in late 2025, according to a report from ScreenRant by Brandon Key. The game was revealed during the Summer Game Fest, with Neil Patrick Harris announced as the voice of Deadpool in this immersive first-person action experience. Developed by Twisted Pixel Games and Oculus Studios in collaboration with Marvel Games, the game introduces an original storyline not based on existing Marvel material. Deadpool finds himself pulled through a portal to Mojoworld, where he signs a shady contract and begins a chaotic quest for riches across the Marvel universe. The trailer highlights Deadpool's signature humor, fourth-wall breaking, and self-awareness, with the character openly acknowledging his existence inside a VR game. Players will take on the role of Deadpool, using dual pistols, katanas, kunai, and parkour-style movement to navigate the game's action-packed environments. Drawing on its previous VR work with Path of the Warrior, developer Twisted Pixel Games promises a unique and exaggerated combat system tailored for the VR format. Combat scenarios include over-the-top actions like using severed limbs as weapons, tossing grenades back at enemies, and shoving heads into propellers—true to Deadpool's irreverent style. This marks the character's first major game appearance since the 2013 cult-classic Deadpool by Activision. With Harris bringing a fresh take to the Merc with a Mouth and gameplay designed to reflect the character's chaotic personality, Marvel's Deadpool VR could mark a bold new direction for Marvel's future in VR gaming.

Ryan Gosling 'White Black Panther Meme' resurfaces amid Marvel Comics' new Ketema revelation
Marvel's recent unveiling of a white character as the new Black Panther has reignited the long-running meme featuring Ryan Gosling as the iconic hero. In the first issue of Marvel Knights: The World To Come (2025), a bold twist sees T'Challa's son, Ketema, taking on the mantle of Black Panther—only to reveal himself as a white man, much to the surprise of fans. This revelation has reignited debates surrounding the character's identity and spurred the meme, which humorously features Gosling in the role of the Wakandan king. Ketema's unmasking as a white young man has raised eyebrows, particularly because Black Panther, in both comic lore and on-screen portrayals (such as by Chadwick Boseman and Letitia Wright), has historically been a Black African character. The reveal, as part of the Marvel Knights series, follows a politically charged storyline set in the wake of T'Challa's death, where Ketema, a product of T'Challa's relationship with Monica Lynne, assumes the throne after defeating his father in a challenge. However, the mystery surrounding Ketema's true parentage has fueled speculation. Some fans question if he is indeed T'Challa's biological son or if another explanation—such as genetic engineering or alternate realities—might be at play. As the character of Ketema steps into a new role in Wakanda, the viral meme depicting Gosling as Black Panther has resurfaced, as fans joke about the possibility of the actor embodying the character on screen. While this meme has circulated for years, with Gosling often being humorously suggested for the role, the comic's plot twist has breathed new life into this online trend. The meme's return reflects the ongoing conversation about the boundaries of cultural identity, legacy, and representation in popular media, especially within the context of Marvel's bold narrative choices. It remains to be seen whether future Marvel Knights issues will provide more clarity about Ketema's origins and his role in Wakanda's future. The controversy and discussion sparked by this creative decision underscore Marvel's willingness to challenge conventions and explore new narratives.

Marvel Tokon fighting souls announced by Arc System Works for PS5 in 2026
Marvel fans can look forward to a new fighting game developed by Arc System Works, the studio behind the acclaimed Dragon Ball FighterZ. Announced during the June 2025 Sony State of Play, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will feature popular Marvel heroes and villains in an exciting new 4v4 team-based fighting format. With Capcom stepping back from Marvel fighting games, Arc System Works brings fresh expertise to the franchise's legacy. Capcom's earlier titles, popular in the 1990s, faced challenges related to character licensing—especially around the X-Men—which contributed to the decline of Marvel fighting games over time. Arc System Works, known for fighting game franchises such as Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, and the Persona fighting game series, has a strong reputation for delivering visually stunning and well-balanced gameplay. Their work on Dragon Ball FighterZ was particularly praised for capturing the anime's aesthetic, raising expectations for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. The game will feature a robust lineup of characters and a new 4v4 team fighting system, offering fresh gameplay dynamics. So far, confirmed fighters include Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Ms. Marvel, Storm, Dr. Doom, and Ghost Rider, with more to be revealed. The 4v4 format allows players to build large teams, an ambitious approach that will test the developers' ability to maintain game balance. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is set to release on PlayStation 5 in 2026. Fans can watch the debut trailer and a behind-the-scenes development video from the Sony State of Play event, available on The Game Awards' official YouTube channel.
