Hugh Jackman ‘Avengers: Doomsday' Rumors Heat up After New Photo Surfaces
If Marvel is attempting to keep things under tight wraps and avoid spoilers, as fans have become accustomed to, someone forgot to tell Hugh Jackman's longtime stunt double, Daniel Stevens.
While Jackman has already side-stepped the question of whether he'll portray Wolverine in the 2026 movie Avengers: Doomsday, a recent photo posted by Stevens immediately grabbed fans' attention on Friday, June 13.
As MCU Film News revealed, Stevens posted a photo that was said to be from Pinewood Studios, the location where Avengers: Doomsday filming is currently happening.
Stevens even wrote on the photo that it was from "the trailer," which only added to the speculation.
While Jackman obviously wasn't in the photo, it goes without saying that it's unlikely there's any reason for his stunt double to be at filming for the movie, and Jackman himself to be absent.
Beyond that, Jackman interestingly posted a video of himself working out on Friday, which many fans connected to the movie, citing the belief that he was preparing for filming.
"This and his stunt double posting a picture in a trailer in the same location, we getting our boy back," said one fan.
"Hugh says he hates working out for wolverine but then he shows his whole work out routine," replied another.
Jackman's character, Wolverine, is among the most popular, and he's played the role since the 2000 film X-Men. So, not surprisingly, fans were excited about the prospect of him reprising the role for the upcoming Avengers movie.
While the stars seem to be aligning for Wolverine to appear in Doomsday, fans may want to hold off on getting too excited until Marvel or Jackman provides an official update.Hugh Jackman 'Avengers: Doomsday' Rumors Heat up After New Photo Surfaces first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 14, 2025

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Was the Most Unexpected Reveal of State of Play
Sony held its regular State of Play event on Wednesday, showing some of the new games coming to its PlayStation. The biggest surprise was a new Marvel fighting game, and no, this isn't coming from Capcom. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is a new tag fighting game coming to the PS5, developed by Arc System Works, a studio known for its excellent contributions to the genre. This new title will feature only Marvel characters and will be a four vs. four tag battle. The Marvel characters shown in the video include Captain America, Iron Man, Dr. Doom, Spider-Man, Storm, Star-Lord, Ms. Marvel and Ghost Rider. Each character has a distinct 2D anime-inflected visual style that Arc System Works is known for. Characters will have their own super moves, and it appears there is another mechanic that allows for parrying or avoiding attacks. Arc System Works is best known for its fighting game franchises BlazBlue and Guilty Gear, as well as 2018's Dragon Ball FighterZ. They're considered some of the best 2D fighting games around, and are regularly selected as one of the premier games at the Evo Championship esports series, which is coming up in August. The last official Marvel vs. Capcom game was back in 2017 with Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. It didn't go over well with the fans, and the franchise seemed to have been forgotten until the release of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics last year. That collection breathed new life into the fanbase. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will be released in 2026 for the PS5 and PC.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing — The Exhibition Amazes In Chicago
Marvel's Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing – The Exhibition Chicago's Griffin Museum of Science and Industry is currently featuring another beyond impressive exhibit with Marvel's Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing – The Exhibition, running through Feb. 8, 2026. It first swung into the museum on May 22. The traveling exhibit was developed by Semmel Exhibitions in conjunction with Marvel and co-curated by comic scholars Benjamin Saunders and Patrick A. Reed. It was also designed by acclaimed Berlin-based collective StudioTK. Saunders, Reed, and StudioTK previously worked with Marvel and Semmel on the hit touring exhibition Marvel: The Exhibition - Universe Of Super Heroes. In addition to Spider-Man and Marvel, the museum has also sported other top-notch entertainment exhibits focusing on Walt Disney, Pixar, and James Bond as the subjects in recent years. Where the latest special exhibit at MSI succeeds is in blending original meaningful comic book art, iconic costumes and rare props from the films, and fun interactive photo ops. The mixture of the spectacular Spidey elements will wow web-slinger fans from young children to seniors and the average MCU watcher to devout comic readers and collectors. The exhibit takes you from the creation and first appearance of the character to his evolution into mainstream pop culture, a journey spanning six decades. My top 5 must-see items at the new Spider-Man exhibit: 1. Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin mask and bomb from 2002's 'Spider-Man': Considered one of, if not the best comic-book movie villains of all time, Dafoe's take on Norman Osborn in the Sam Raimi directed flick, that helped ignite the on-screen superhero craze, is legendary. Seeing the mask up close is an awe-inspiring experience for any superhero or movie fan. The piece was one of the best items the museum could have possibly featured in the exhibit. Full marks to MSI for snagging it. 2. Design sketch for original Spider-Man Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon: This piece was the biggest surprise for me. Not only did the Spider-Man balloon become one of the parade's most iconic, but the 1987 original concept sketch was done by top Spider-Man artist John Romita. Another applaudable find and display item for the museum. New York, N.Y.: Spiderman heads down 6th Ave. during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on November ... More 28, 2024 in New York City.

Tom Holland's main suit from 2021's 'Spider-Man: No Way Home': Tom Holland is this generation's Spider-Man and it seems the current web-slinger is sticking around for some time still. Sporting a costume from the monumental Spidey blockbuster was another good look for the exhibit and museum. 4. An Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC 5.5 Valued by Comic Book Price Guide at $82,000, the unrivaled 1962 comic book featured the creation of the character from writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko. Legendary comic artist Jack Kirby's work is featured on the cover as the first cover art of the famed superhero. The curators could have settled for lower grade issue, which still would have impressed the majority of exhibit goers, but to the delight of comic book fans and collectors, they took things up a notch. 5. Original cover art for Ultimate Fallout #4 Likely the exhibit's best pull for original Spidey comic art, 2011's Ultimate Fallout #4 features the first appearance of Miles Morales, who becomes the new Spider-Man following the death of Peter Parker. Morales quickly won comic fans over, is featured in the preschool age Disney series Spidey and His Amazing Friends, and is likely to make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in the near future.

Justin Hartley says his show 'Tracker' is successful because it ‘doesn't apologize for his masculinity'
Actor Justin Hartley says his show "Tracker" is successful because the lead character that he plays in the series is comfortable with his masculinity. "One of the things I really love about Colter and the way we've built him is that he doesn't apologize for his masculinity," Hartley said in an interview with Men's Journal published on June 5. The show is centered on the character Colter Shaw, a survivalist who tracks down missing people. Hartley says that the show's portrayal of manhood is what has made it successful. Liberal Author Tells 'The View' There's 'No Such Thing' As Toxic Masculinity "I think that's what people are looking for," the actor said. "You're asking yourself, 'What kind of people do I want to hang out with?' And particularly: 'What kind of male friends do I have in my life that I really value?' I think we've crafted a character that is so emotionally evolved, and he really does want to get to the root of why people do things." Read On The Fox News App The show is currently in its second season with a third season reportedly in the works. The specific reason Hartley thinks his character has resonated so much is because of how Shaw balances his masculinity. "He's a man through and through," Hartley said. "And that doesn't mean you have to be the loudest person in the room and know every single f-----g thing and throw tables around and scream and shout and yell and smoke and drink. He's all about talking with people. Reading people. Understanding them. He's an all-encompassing man. He's not just a guy. He's a man." Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Also playing into the success of the show is the work the team has put into the character's development. "The facts are that [executive producer] Ken Olin and I set out to do a show that was in fact a throwback," Hartley said. "We wanted a new spin on a procedural, meaning our character would evolve over time. He would not just remain the same exact person every single week. We were hopeful people would like it. People ended up loving it. I think there's a huge appetite for this kind of show." Hartley is well-known for his role in the CBS series, as well as other hit series, including the NBC drama "This Is Us," "Passions," "Smallville," and "The Young and the Restless."Original article source: Justin Hartley says his show 'Tracker' is successful because it 'doesn't apologize for his masculinity'
