Tom Hiddleston's comments on Avengers: Doomsday While on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show, the host went on to ask the actor, 'Is this going to be a major part of Avengers: Doomsday?' referring to his character holding the timeline. Hiddleston responded, 'See, this is where I run out of rope, Jimmy. We always do this dance, you and me. I can exclusively tell you...I will be there.' He further added, 'There was the big thing they released of all the names on the back of the chairs. I didn't know. I was like, 'Oh, I guess I'm in the movie.' In fairness, I did know I was in the movie. But I am so used to not knowing, 'I'm in the movie.'' It is understandable that Hiddleston won't give out any information regarding the new Marvel film.

Is Ryan Gosling The Next Black Panther For Marvel? What We Know
Last Updated: Ryan Gosling's casting as Black Panther started as a joke, but it gave fans hope after new Marvel comics introduced a new T'Challa who is white. Hollywood star Ryan Gosling is already set to appear in the upcoming Star Wars film, but fans now believe he might also join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). A meme showing Gosling's face edited onto Black Panther's body has gone viral—and what started as a joke has gained unexpected traction thanks to a new Marvel comic. According to Comic Book Movie, Marvel's latest series Marvel Knights: The World to Come introduces a new version of the Black Panther. The storyline begins with an older T'Challa's death and then moves back in time to explore events leading to his downfall. In a major twist, a new Black Panther emerges—Ketema, a white man who is hinted to be the son of T'Challa and Monica Lynne. The comic explores Ketema's strained relationship with his father. His unresolved emotions lead him to challenge T'Challa and eventually claim the throne of Wakanda. The introduction of a white Black Panther has sparked conversations online, with some fans pointing out the uncanny resemblance between the comic character and Gosling. While there has been no official announcement from Marvel about Gosling's involvement, the comic's storyline—and the viral meme—have fueled speculation that the actor could be cast as Ketema in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. For now, it's just fan theory. But with Gosling's star power and Marvel's history of surprising casting moves, anything seems possible. RUMOR: Ryan Gosling will be the new Black Panther in the #MCU from another universe! — MCU Source (@MCUSource) June 5, 2025 Fans now shared more memes about Ryan Gosling as Black Panther. The multiverse gives space for new and bold ideas, but Black Panther holds a strong cultural meaning and for many, it's not a role that should be changed easily following the death of Chadwick Boseman. As of now, Gosling hasn't been cast in any Marvel movie and the rumour started as a meme. It picked up again only because the new comic introduced Ketema, a white version of Black Panther. Currently, Gosling is busy preparing for Star Wars: Starfighter. Meanwhile, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are eagerly waiting for Avengers: Doomsday, the fifth film in the Avengers series. The movie is expected to bring together the newer group of heroes introduced in recent films. What has caught everyone's attention is the return of Robert Downey Jr, who will play the powerful villain Doctor Doom, who earlier played Iron Man. While not much is known about the plot, the film is expected to show a huge battle between the heroes and Doom, who is one of the most powerful villains in Marvel. The superhero movie is set to release on December 18, 2026. First Published:

2025 box office report card: How a kids' film beat Mission Impossible, Sinners, Marvel; is year's highest-grossing film
Nearly half of 2025 has come to a close. The summer blockbuster season is set to begin, but already, in the first five months of the year, 2025 has given a lot of reasons to cheer at the box office worldwide. Hollywood films found their footing again, even as Marvel continued to falter. Tom Cruise reasserted his superstardom, while Sinners and Final Destination: Bloodlines raised the flag for horror. But despite all this, the highest-grossing film of the year so far has not come from Hollywood. It has no big stars, and is made for kids. Yet, it has managed to beat studio heavyweights on its own. (Also read: Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 8 defies US-China tensions, tops China box office with $25 million haul) Chinese animated film Ne Zha 2 has been the biggest box office sensation of the year so far. The film, made for just ¥600 million (around $80 million), it has already earned $2.2 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing animated film ever, and one of the highest-grossing films of all time, with only heavyweights like Avatar and Avengers: Endgame above it. Ne Zha 2 pipped Warner Bros' A Minecraft Movie to the top. The second-place feature has earned $948 million worldwide. Disney's Lilo & Stitch is in the third spot with a global haul of $632 million and counting. Another Chinese film - Detective Chinatown 1900 - is in the fourth spot, while Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World rounds up the top 5. Ne Zha 2's success can be gauged by the fact that it has earned nearly six times as much as Tom Cruise's hit Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning or Marvel's Thunderbolts. The Paramount film has earned $389 million, while the MCU's antihero team-up is at $371 million. Despite wide releases globally, they have been unable to match Ne Zha 2's pace. What has made Ne Zha 2 so popular is its universal appeal in China. The film is based on Chinese mythology and legends, and has been seen as a fun, educational family watch in the country. This, coupled with China's impressive 90,000 screens, has meant that the film was able to sustain record footfalls for long durations, selling out theatres for weeks in parts of the country. Ne Zha 2 may be hard to dethrone. Only four films have ever earned more - Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Titanic. Yet, 2025 boasts a strong line-up of films that can break the $2 billion mark. First up is James Gunn's Superman reboot, followed by Marvel's new Fantastic Four film. But perhaps the film that has the best chance of surpassing Ne Zha 2 at the box office is James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash, which releases in December.
