Did Marvel's AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Cast Announcement Really Have to Spoil THUNDERBOLTS*?
In the clip, David Harbour's Red Guardian speaks on heroism, saying that there is no higher calling and that heroes are adored like gods. His daughter Yelena quickly reminds him that it is just a fairytale.
And things are getting real dangerous with the Void coming on the scene and literally obliterating anything in his path. The Void is indeed the big villain in Thunderbolts* alongside whatever Valentina is up to. The Avengers are gone but this collective is here to save the day. Hopefully…

Kevin Feige Confirms Punisher Will Be "Different" In 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'
In a surprising announcement that felt straight out of the comics, it was confirmed that Jon Bernthal would be reprising his role as Frank Castle aka The Punisher for the MCU movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day . Of course, fans have been curious how that combination would work out on the big screen, especially given the more mature style of The Punisher. Now Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has confirmed that the Punisher will be 'different' in Spider-Man: Brand New Day . Feige explained this while speaking in a roundtable interview, and as shared via CBM, this will result in a different tone for the Punisher's appearance in the new movie. Of course, putting the usually R-rated character into a PG-13 Spider-Man movie on the big screen would definitely have some tone changes. Here's what Feige shared: 'When Punisher is in the Spider-Man movie, it'll be a different tonality.' In a much more detailed response, Feige continued to explain how the characters will work with one another, further calling Spider-Man: Brand New Day a movie with 'street-level crime' rather than the 'world-ending events' we've seen Peter Parker deal with so far: 'I think there's a promise at the end of No Way Home, that for as sad as it is that Peter is forgotten by everyone in his life, we are seeing for the first time in the Tom Holland Spider-Man stories him being a proper Spider-Man. Him being by himself, dedicated to saving the city, and dealing with, for lack of better terms, street-level crime, as opposed to world-ending events. So when you do that, you say, okay, who are the other street-level characters that we've never seen him interact with? And of course, I love that The Punisher started in a Spider-Man comic. That great cover…I don't want to say too much, but Destin, I will say too much, Destin is doing an amazing job right now on that movie, which starts shooting very soon. And he's got eight or nine comic covers up on his wall in his art department that he is bringing to life in this movie, which is super cool.' Hopefully we'll have more information on how Spider-Man: Brand New Day will shake things up for the MCU and the franchise's versions of Spider-Man and Punisher . For now, however, it sounds like a story that fans of the comics will certainly be able to enjoy. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to hit theaters on July 31, 2026. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional Marvel Cinematic Universe updates as we have them.

Disney+ Oversaturation Backfires as Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar Face Brand Damage: "People Don't Care Now" — GeekTyrant
When Disney+ first launched, it felt like a dream for fans. It gave us The Mandalorian , WandaVision , and long-awaited character spotlights that wouldn't have made it to the big screen for these franchises. But five years later, the dream is showing cracks. A new report breaks down how Disney's biggest franchises such as Marvel, Star Wars , and Pixar have been worn down by an overstuffed content pipeline, and now the fallout is real. Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, didn't sugarcoat things recently: "It was just too much. It was a big company push. And it doesn't take too much to push us to go. There was a mandate that we were put in the middle of." That mandate pushed Marvel into overdrive, delivering shows like Moon Knight and She-Hulk , while also expanding the MCU with supporting characters like Loki and the Scarlet Witch . It was exciting at first, but the novelty wore off fast. According to The Wrap, the studio's declining momentum has led to a significant subscriber loss. 700,000 Disney+ users in Q1 of 2025 alone. One anonymous producer with Marvel experience said: "Given the quality of the Marvel Disney+ output has been incredibly mediocre, it's dragged the entire brand down and diluted its creative. People don't care now." That sense of burnout isn't exclusive to Marvel. Star Wars has also suffered from its own content overload. A marketing executive shared: "When you went to a Star Wars movie, it used to be special. But there's a difference between let's have a movie every four years versus let's have three shows on the air all the time and have a movie every year." Lucasfilm seems to be adjusting. Besides a second season of Ahsoka , Star Wars has pulled back on streaming series. Films like The Mandalorian and Grogu are heading to theaters, aiming to recapture the magic. But perhaps the harshest reality check came from Dave Gonzales, co-author of MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios . He explained: "I do think that it has eroded the branding. All of the sub-brands have been eroded. They were finally getting to do what they wanted to do – put everything in development. 'Marvel remade how they made franchise movies but they thought they could do the same thing with television – you can't. They think they're more nimble than they actually are." Shows like WandaVision may have broken ground, but they also cost hundreds of millions to produce, without bringing in the same return as box office blockbusters. Then there's Pixar. Of all the major Disney brands, it's been hit hardest. The move to release films like Soul and Turning Red straight to streaming weakened the prestige Pixar once carried. Meanwhile, other arms like Walt Disney Animation and Walt Disney Studios have largely escaped the fallout, in part because they weren't pushed as aggressively on Disney+. Now, Disney is playing catch-up. There's a strategic shift happening. Marvel is easing back, with just one or two Disney+ shows planned per year moving forward. These series will mostly be stand-alone stories, disconnected from the broader film narratives. Titles like Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps haven't lit the box office on fire, but they've been well-received critically, which is a possible sign of recovery. Only time will tell if that's enough. For now, it's clear that Disney's ambitious streaming plans over the past few years may have hurt the very franchises that made it a powerhouse in the first place.
