Henry Cavill
Dubai: Hollywood actor Henry Cavill is making headlines once again, with speculation swirling about his next big role—this time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Reports suggest that Cavill is being eyed for a part in Nova , an upcoming Marvel project.
Following his departure from the Superman franchise, which included appearances in Black Adam and The Flash , Cavill may now be shifting gears toward the MCU.
The rumor originates from insider @MyTimeToShineH, who claims Marvel is considering him for a role, though details remain under wraps.
The Nova series is expected to be a high-stakes space adventure, potentially adapting elements from the Annihilation storyline, a fan-favorite arc that introduces the villain Annihilus.
Speculation is already mounting that Cavill could take on the role of Richard Rider, the original Nova, though no official casting confirmations have been made.
The project is being described as a fusion of military action and sci-fi spectacle, with comparisons to Starship Troopers in terms of tone and scale. According to reports, Marvel is aiming for a dynamic and youthful energy, reminiscent of classic '80s military films.
If Cavill does step into the Nova universe, it would mark yet another major franchise move for the actor.
Following his departure from The Witcher , he briefly entered the MCU with a rumored cameo as a Wolverine variant in Deadpool & Wolverine . Now, he could be gearing up for a more substantial role.
While nothing has been officially confirmed, Cavill's potential inclusion in the MCU has fans buzzing with excitement. If the rumors hold true, this could be a defining chapter in his career, further cementing his place as one of Hollywood's go-to action stars.

Cast of Avengers: Doomsday movie gather for filming in Bahrain
The cast of Marvel 's big-ticket Avengers: Doomsday have been photographed in Bahrain, where filming for the movie is thought to be taking place. Photos of some of the cast shared on social media have offered fans clues about what to expect in the fifth film of the blockbuster Avengers series. Directed by the Russo brothers, Anthony and Joe, Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to be released on December 18 next year. On Friday, Address Beach Resort hosted a dinner with some of the cast members. The event included Joe Russo, Anthony Mackie (who plays Captain America), Simu Liu (Shang-Chi), Winston Duke (M'Baku), Letitia Wright (Shuri), Tenoch Huerta (Namor), Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost), Danny Ramirez (Falcon) and Alex Livinalli (Attuma). While not spotted at the event, the film's ensemble cast is also set to include Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) and Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova) among others. Robert Downey Jr, who famously played Iron Man, will return to the MCU as supervillain Doctor Doom. A full cast is yet to be revealed. "This past weekend, Address Beach Resort Bahrain had the marvelous honour of hosting some of Hollywood's most iconic stars," the resort posted on Instagram on Tuesday. Earlier in the week, fans also shared photos of the cast dining at Sumosan, the Japanese restaurant located within the hotel. While much of the plot remains tightly under wraps, Avengers: Doomsday marks the return of the Russo brothers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The duo have directed four Marvel films, including the record-breaking Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). They will also direct follow-up Avengers: Secret Wars, scheduled for a December 2027 release. 'When we directed Avengers: Endgame, we really believed it was the end for us in the Marvel Cinematic Universe,' Joe Russo told fans at San Diego Comic-Con last year, when the film's title was announced. 'That four-movie run was incredible, and it left us creatively spent.' But "a very special story" convinced them to come back, he said. "It's the biggest story that Marvel comics ever told. It's the reason that Anthony and I are standing up here.'

Scarlett Johansson on directing debut, old Hollywood glamour, and ‘Eleanor the Great'
Few movie stars today win over critics and convey Old Hollywood glamour as effortlessly as Scarlett Johansson does, all while seemingly impervious to the industry's convulsions. Now 40, she has been famous most of her life. She turned 10 the year her first movie, 'North,' opened in 1994; four years later, she was upstaging Robert Redford in 'The Horse Whisperer.' In the decades since, she starred in cult films and blockbusters, made a record with Pete Yorn and earned a couple of Oscar nominations. Between hits and misses, she also married three times (most recently to Colin Jost) and had two children. The kind of diverse professional portfolio that Johansson has cultivated can make life more interesting, of course, but it's also evidence of shrewd, career-sustaining choices. In 2010, she made her critically celebrated Broadway debut in a revival of Arthur Miller's tragedy 'A View From the Bridge.' (She went on to win a Tony.) That same year, she slipped on a bodysuit to play lethal Russian superspy Black Widow in Marvel's 'Iron Man 2,' a role that propelled her into global celebrity. On Tuesday, Johansson publicly took on another role when she presented her feature directing debut, 'Eleanor the Great,' at the Cannes Film Festival. Playing outside the main lineup, it is the kind of intimately scaled, performance-driven movie that's ideal for a novice director. June Squibb stars as 94-year-old Eleanor, who, soon after the story opens, moves into her daughter's New York apartment. Life gets complicated when Eleanor inadvertently ends up in a support group for Holocaust survivors. It gets even trickier when a journalism student insists on writing about Eleanor. A friendship is born, salted with laughter and tears. I met with Johansson the day after the premiere of 'Eleanor the Great.' She first walked the festival red carpet in 2005 for 'Match Point,' returning last year with 'Asteroid City.' (She's also in 'The Phoenician Scheme,' which is here, too.) It had rained hard the day of her premiere, but the sky was blue when she stepped onto a hotel terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. Seated in a quiet corner shaded by a large umbrella, Johansson was friendly, pleasant and a touch reserved. Wearing the largest diamond that I've seen outside of a Tiffany window, she kept her sunglasses on as we talked, the consummate picture of movie stardom. Here are edited excerpts from our conversation. Tell me about the genesis of the project. I have a production company called These Pictures, and we get all kinds of submissions. I wasn't looking for something to direct at that moment. I read it because I was fascinated to see what June Squibb was starring in because I love her, and I was so surprised by the story. It had a lot of elements of films that I love, independent films from the '90s and early aughts. It was New York-based, very character driven. And the plot device was so surprising. It made me cry. I immediately called my producing partner and was, like, I can direct this. I know how to make it. Not everyone just thinks they can direct... When I was much younger, I thought I would end up doing that eventually. In my early 20s, I became focused on understanding my job as an actor better. I was creatively engaged with the directors I was working with, taking on different roles that were challenging, and I veered off that path. The timing was right when the script found me. It felt like an extension of the work that I've been doing as opposed to this big unknown. And June was ready to make the film. She had energy and was committed to doing it. Did this story speak specifically to you because of your family experience? I could identify with the character's story, and, of course, I identify as Jewish. I had a very formidable grandmother who I was incredibly close with. She lives inside me and I think of her very often. She was, you know, a character and not unlike Eleanor. She could be kind of impossible. [ Laughs. ] How did it start to come together for you as a movie? I look at New York in a cinematic way. I've spent so much time strolling around as one does and just spending time observing. I'm a people watcher; it's one of my great pleasures. And when I read a script, I can see it as a film in my mind. I already had ideas, so it was more about having a dialogue with the cinematographer where we could have a conversation and get to the same conclusion. I knew I wanted beautiful portraits of June, to show her in this very pure way. The actors were so committed and had such dramatic stamina. I just needed to photograph them in a way that was uncomplicated. When you were younger, at one point did you realise, 'Oh, women make movies too'? It was fortunately a given because I worked with so many female directors when I was a kid. So, I guess I just never really thought about it as this gendered thing. Maybe I'm spoiled in a way or I take it for granted because I did work with so many female directors and continue to. Actually, the other day, I was reading an interview with Natalie Portman, and she grew up in film working with female directors. It was kind of the same thing for her. Maybe we both got lucky that when we started working, there was more opportunity for female directors. It's kind of balanced out in that way. Um, I don't know if it's totally balanced. [ Laughs. ] Do you want to keep directing? I do. It felt very fulfilling. We had such an amazing shooting experience. The feeling on set was so familial and creative and positive. It was really, really joyful. You don't always have a joyful experience on every movie that you make, but as I've gotten older, I have a lesser tolerance for the unpleasant experience. [ Laughs. ] As an industry veteran, do you feel optimistic about American movies? I think it'll balance itself out, and some of the players will change. It's just going to take a lot of time. The strike was really damaging, I think, more damaging than Covid; that has proved very, very challenging. There'll be a lot of big movies this summer, and I think even smaller movies like this film, when you see it in the theatre, it's amazing because everybody's crying and together. When you can see something moving with an audience, you're kind of buzzing afterward. I think it's about offering variety and studios that are committed to the theatrical experience. I think that we can climb our way back up — I think so.

How to watch all the Marvel films in storyline order
This month's release of Thunderbolts* marked the 36th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – and the final film in the timeline before Avengers: Doomsday in 2026. Before the release of the 1960s-set The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July, which sets the stage for next year's game-changing team-up, there's plenty to catch up on. For those looking to begin a venture into, arguably, cinema's most popular worlds of the past two decades, it's best to start at the beginning. Here is how to watch all movies of the MCU in chronological order. A great intro to the MCU, set during the Second World War, it has Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) being recruited as part of the super-soldier experiment, causing – hey presto – the birth of Captain America. We also get a first look at an Infinity Stone, the power-wielding jewels that will escalate in importance. Rating: 4/5 While this marks the fourth iteration of the Fantastic Four assembled for the big screen – an unreleased movie from 1994, the two modestly successful films from the 2000s and the calamitous 2015 reboot – the latest version seems poised to be the greatest. Harkening back to the 1960s setting of the original comics run by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, this period film promises to adapt one of the Kirby and Lee's most popular stories – the coming of the world-eater Galactus, announced by his herald the Silver Surfer. But because it's set decades before the rest of the MCU, fans are eagerly awaiting the many intersections it may include of the overarching Marvel story – and how it may connect with the multiverse. Rating: TBD Arriving in the nick of time before Avengers: Infinity War, cosmic hero Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) gets her origin story here – all set in 1995 – as two alien races come to blows. The fun part is seeing Samuel L Jackson's Nick Fury, a regular from the intelligence agency S.H.I.E.L.D., as his younger self, before he got that distinctive eye patch. Rating: 3/5 It all began here. Back in 2008, Jon Favreau's Iron Man was something of a risk. But casting Robert Downey Jr as the snarky Tony Stark, an inventor-billionaire who builds himself a weapon-clad suit, was a masterstroke. An entire generation-defining movie series got off to a splendid start. Rating: 4/5 Downey Jr flexed his muscles further against Mickey Rourke's whip-cracking Russian baddie, but this is most notable for introducing Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff – aka Black Widow, the ultra-limber spy who will eventually join Iron Man in the S.H.I.E.L.D. superhero gang The Avengers. Rating: 3/5 It took Marvel three goes to get the angry green giant right. This wasn't it. Following 2003's Hulk (not part of the MCU), this reboot had Ed Norton take over as Dr Bruce Banner, before Mark Ruffalo later inherited the mantle. It pre-dates The Avengers, though it's unclear where it sits in the timeline. Iron Man does make a cameo, though. Rating: 2/5 Set six months before The Avengers, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston first appear as Asgard warrior Thor and his mischief-making, power-grabbing adoptive brother Loki, in a fine effort by Kenneth Branagh, who compared it all to King Lear. Intern Darcy Lewis, later to return in TV spin-off WandaVision, also makes her MCU debut. Rating: 4/5 Marvel's so-called Phase One came to a resounding close in Joss Whedon's titanic superhero flick, as the Avengers assemble against Loki and his alien hoards. Watching Iron Man bicker with Captain America and 'Hulk smash' were only two of the highlights of a film that also, properly, introduced Jeremy Renner's archer Hawkeye after his Thor cameo. Rating: 5/5 Six months on from The Avengers, Iron Man deals with the fallout from those events while coming up against the Mandarin, the leader of a terrorist group known as the Ten Rings. Shane Black directs with his usual wit, though Sir Ben Kingsley's role – a huge twist in the film – left some fans a bit bemused. Rating: 3/5 Directed by Games of Thrones' Alan Taylor, this second outing for Thor – which concludes with half of Greenwich in London being destroyed – was inferior to the first, owing to Christopher Eccleston's generic villain Malekith. It does introduce Benicio Del Toro's infinity stones-hoarder, the Collector, though. Rating: 3/5 The first of four essential MCU movies directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Captain America's second solo outing, digging further into S.H.I.E.L.D., comes two years on from The Avengers' climactic Battle of New York. Drawing from 1970s-style conspiracy/espionage tales such as Three Days of the Condor, it further expanded Black Widow's character too. Rating: 4/5 Director James Gunn's first entry into the MCU arrived with this insouciant tale of intergalactic rogues. Chris Pratt leads the way as Peter Quill – aka Star-Lord – but the show is stolen by Rocket, a talking raccoon, and his pal Groot, a tree of very few words. Rating: 4/5 A disappointment after the highs of its predecessor, but still a lot of fun – with the Guardians again patrolling the outer reaches of the galaxy. It also expands on the Celestials, the cosmic beings that created the Eternals, with Kurt Russell as Ego. Rating: 3/5 As the Avengers team up to fight Ultron, an AI enemy hellbent on destruction, more get recruited, including Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), Vision (Paul Bettany) and Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), aka Falcon. Doesn't hit the highs of Whedon's earlier movie, though. Rating: 3/5 Its tortured genesis notwithstanding – director Edgar Wright quit the project, Peyton Reed took over – this is one of the most irreverent MCU entries. Thief Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is shrunk to insect-size by tech invented by Michael Douglas' former S.H.I.E.L.D. employee Hank Pym, just in time to join the fight in the coming Civil War. Rating: 4/5 One of the great comic-book movies, as Iron Man and Cap come to blows and the Avengers' infighting escalates to epic proportions. This second Russo brothers' MCU effort includes the glorious introduction of Tom Holland as Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man – the third, and certainly the best, actor to play Stan Lee's web-spinning hero in the 21st century. Rating: 5/5 Taking place directly after the events of Captain America: Civil War, this origin story for Romanoff also introduces her "sister", Yelena (Florence Pugh), also trained in the so-called Red Room. To stay spoiler-free, avoid the post-credits sequence, though, until you've watched Avengers: Endgame. Rating: 4/5 Set post-Civil War, Jon Watts' effort goes all The Breakfast Club, with Peter Parker hanging out at Midtown School of Science and Technology with his pals, including love interest MJ (Zendaya). Michael Keaton pops in as the bad guy, Adrian Toomes, with an axe to grind against Stark Industries. Rating: 4/5 This intro for Benedict Cumberbatch's mystic, time-bending neurosurgeon came under fire for Tilda Swinton's casting as the Ancient One, a Tibetan character from the comics refashioned as Celtic. But no question, this is the MCU's most surreal movie yet and a vital primer for Avengers: Infinity War. Rating: 4/5 Never mind its place in the MCU, Blank Panther was a genuine cultural moment, when Marvel unveiled the fictional African nation of Wakanda and Chadwick Boseman in the title role. The first superhero movie to get a Best Picture Oscar nomination, this fired imaginations in its positive, passionate representation of black culture. Rating: 4/5 The best Thor movie yet, thanks to the arrival of Kiwi director Taika Waititi, who imported his off-kilter humour perfectly into the MCU. With Thor fighting against Cate Blanchett's Hela, the Asgardian goddess of death, it also brings in Loki and Hulk for a hugely enjoyable space romp. Rating: 4/5 Be careful here. The post-credits scene ties into the finale of Infinity War, so maybe hold off on watching until you've seen IW. But timewise, this quantum realm-hopping adventure begins two years on from Scott Lang's initial involvement with the Avengers in Civil War, with him now under house arrest. Rating: 4/5 The pinnacle of the series and everything the MCU was building towards, as the Avengers confront alien megalomaniac Thanos, now in possession of the Infinity Stones and with a major grudge against the universe. Filled with genuine jaw-dropping moments, this was comic book fare on a Shakespearean level. Rating: 5/5 It became the biggest-grossing movie of all time (before Avatar's re-release before the sequel in 2022). This conclusion to the MCU's Infinity saga storyline is another epic, spanning five years. Dealing with the theme of sacrifice for the greater good, it might just be the most emotional Marvel movie yet. Be warned: not everyone makes it out alive. Rating: 5/5 Eight months after Endgame, Spidey takes a European holiday with his classmates and comes up against the Elementals and Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio. Watts's sequel neatly touches on the Americans-abroad trope in a breezy and much-needed pick-me-up after the apocalyptic events of before. Rating: 3/5 Picking up directly after Far From Home, this mind-bending multiverse movie sees Holland's Spider-Man face friends and foes from parallel universes in a film that feels like a joyous slice of fan service. Spinning a wild web, it feels like a movie that will send the MCU in an entirely new and bold direction. Rating: 5/5 Director Destin Daniel Cretton says his effort takes place in the 'present day' so that makes it the most up-to-date entry in the series. Starring Simu Liu as the titular trained assassin, who left behind a life of killing, it reacquaints us with the Ten Rings in a more satisfying way than Iron Man 3 managed. Rating: 4/5 Five years on from events in Infinity War and eight months after Endgame, Eternals comes late in the MCU ordering. But – just to confuse you – there are some flashbacks to ancient Aztec, Babylon and so on, as the world's oldest superheroes are introduced in their battle against the alien Deviants. Rating: 3/5 In the wake of King T'Challa's death, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) and her daughter Shuri (Letitia Wright) along with M'Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Dora Milaje, the team of women who serve as special forces for Wakanda, are in a fight to protect their nation from new intervening and threatening world powers. As Wakanda rises up to embrace its future without its king, the heroes must work together to forge a new path for the kingdom. Rating: 4/5 A combination of drama, comedy, familiar faces, nostalgia and heart-warming moments the superhero franchise has become known for, Waititi returns with his signature humorous touch in this sequel to Thor: Ragnarok (2017). Thor reunites with Dr Jane Foster, who broke up with him "eight years, seven months and six days, give or take" ago, putting this timeline to between 2023 and 2025 and after Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. A fun ride from beginning to end, and possibly Hemsworth's last outing as Thor, this one is all about growing up, getting older and finding the one you love. Rating: 4/5 The film takes place after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home and sees Doctor Strange continue his research on the Time Stone. However, when Strange casts a forbidden spell, he accidentally opens the doorway to the multiverse and unleashes evil. Faced with old enemies and new foes, he is forced to break the very seams of reality to save it. Rating: 3/5 Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania signals the start of the fifth phase of the MCU. The story begins when the family of microscopic heroes – which include Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) – are unwillingly sucked into the Quantum Realm. However, the deeper we venture into the story, and the Quantum Realm, it becomes clear that the film is less about Ant-Man than it is a vehicle to introduce the big baddie of phase five of the MCU: Kang the Conqueror. Rating: 2/5 The last instalment, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, is bittersweet. The film is a testament to director and writer James Gunn's singular vision where action, comedy and emotional storylines meet powerful music for a gripping cinematic experience. Unlike the previous films, the Guardians aren't facing off against one ominous villain whose plan is to eradicate half of all life in the universe. But on the whole, Gunn has delivered to audiences what they expected and always loved about the Guardians of the Galaxy universe: an adventure full of heart, humour and friendship. Most importantly though, what Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 achieves is ultimately a satisfying finale to a story of unforgettable characters. Rating: 4/5 While Deadpool & Wolverine was billed as the debut of the two titular characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this manic, violent and thoroughly R-rated buddy comedy features very little interaction with the MCU. Instead, it acts as a coda to the 20th Century Fox Marvel film universe, including Blade, Electra, Fantastic Four and the X-Men series, which unofficially ended when Disney bought the studio back in 2019. While there is one scene set before Avengers: Endgame in 2018 when Iron Man was still alive and numerous scenes in the in-between world established in the Disney+ Loki series, Deadpool and Wolverine probably won't enter the proper Marvel timeline until the coming Avengers: Doomsday, which is set for a 2026 release and will star Robert Downey Jr as Doctor Doom, or Avengers: Secret Wars, which is set to release in 2027. Nevertheless, while it falls apart a bit in the final act, it's a must-watch for Marvel fans new and old, and proves that the MCU still has some tricks up its sleeve. Rating: 3/5 Set in 2026, The Marvels is not merely a sequel to the 2019 hit Captain Marvel, which introduced Brie Larson's hero of the same name, it also continues the female-led stories established in Disney+ MCU series WandaVision and Ms Marvel, the latter of which introduced Kamala Khan, Marvel's first Muslim superhero. The breezy tone runtime makes it watchable if mostly forgettable, but the film also adds little to the overall Marvel narrative, with only Iman Vellani's committed and fun performance as Ms Marvel to buoy the proceedings. Rating: 2/5 In many ways, the Captain America franchise has been the beating heart of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, establishing Steve Rogers as the grander story's moral centre. His successor and former partner Sam Wilson tries to do the same in his first solo film, to near-disastrous results. While Sam has earned a lot of good will from fans of the past 15 years, Captain America: Brave New World fails to provide a good reason why he should be Marvel's main character moving forward. Here, he mainly goes through the motions in one of the least watchable political thrillers ever put to film, which goes from boring to silly when president Harrison Ford begins turning into a big red monster because he'd been given the wrong pills. Taking place in 2027 (we know this because Sam Wilson says that Bucky Barnes, born in 1917, is 110), this sets the stage for Sam-led Avengers team to potentially debut in Avengers: Doomsday in 2026. But honestly, you can skip it. Rating: 0/5 When Marvel is at its worst, keeping up with the ins and outs can feel like homework. When Marvel is at its best, everything clicks into place even without context. Thunderbolts*, which is set in 2027 after Brave New World, finds Marvel once again at its best, uniting discarded supporting characters from other stories and turning that seeming weakness into the film's greatest asset. Told with empathy and humour, this is a story of flawed, human characters that audiences can't help but root for. And thanks to director Jeff Scheier's reliance on old-fashioned in-camera stunt work and committed performances from top-tier talents in Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan in particular, the film ultimately earns its second name The New Avengers – which ensures that these characters will be a prominent part of Avengers: Doomsday. Rating: 4/5
