How Hugh Jackman and Wife Are Dividing Massive $387M Fortune
Hugh Jackman reached an agreement with his soon-to-be ex-wife Deborra-lee Furness about who gets which multi-million dollar property out of their $387 million in assets, according to the Daily Mail, paving the way for the official end to their nearly 30-year marriage. Deborra-lee Furness, 69, filed for divorce from Jackman, 56, earlier this month, following the couple's separation announcement in 2023. Since then, Jackman began dating his Music Man co-star Sutton Foster, with whom he's now presumed to be living at the $23 million three-story condo in New York's Chelsea neighborhood that he secured in his final round of behind-the-scenes negotiations with Furness. Other properties the exes agreed to split include their $12 million Bondi beach retreat in their native Australia, a $3.5 million beachfront property in the East Hamptons, and more properties across the United States and Australia. Their agreement also secures Furness continued healthcare coverage and medical child support. She and Jackman share two adopted kids, Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19. The agreement, when signed by a judge, will end the bargaining between the former couple that ultimately became bitter after Furness argued for more of the X-Men star's fortune. Just after she officially filed to divorce Jackson, Furness characterized their split by 'betrayal' with a statement. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she told Daily Mail. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep,' she added, explaining that her belief in a 'higher power' helped her 'navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.' The couple's separation had seemed amicable before then, as their joint statement said their 'wonderful, loving marriage' was ending because their 'journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.' The 'betrayal' could easily refer to Foster, 50—Jackman's younger new flame. Foster filed for divorce from her husband of ten years, screenwriter Ted Griffin, in October 2024, just as rumors of her romance with Jackman heated up. Their divorce was filed uncontested, reported Page Six. As Jackman and Furness have reached an agreement about who gets what out of Jackman's massive fortune, their divorce is now uncontested as well, per Daily Mail sources.

Ryan Reynolds' rumoured 'X-Force' film to feature Wolverine, Cable and Storm in ensemble cast
Ryan Reynolds is reportedly developing an X-Force-inspired project following the release of Deadpool & Wolverine. Sources suggest the film, which has not yet been officially greenlit by Marvel Studios, will be separate from the X-Men reboot currently being written by Michael Lesslie. Reynolds is said to be working independently on the script, positioning Wade Wilson as part of a new team rather than leading another solo film. The project will reportedly include 'three or four' X-Men characters. Notably, Josh Brolin's Cable and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine are rumoured to return, alongside the unexpected inclusion of the MCU's Storm. The actor's past statements reinforce his desire to move Deadpool into more ensemble-driven stories. 'I have some pitches and ideas, but none of them centre on Deadpool,' he said. 'He is a great supporting or ensemble player. And I would always want Deadpool and Wolverine to be paired in some way.' Reynolds previously campaigned for an X-Force film during the 20th Century Fox era, which was shelved following the Disney acquisition. The original comic book X-Force team featured Deadpool, Wolverine, Archangel, Psylocke, and Fantomex under Rick Remender's run. Reynolds has dismissed further solo ventures, reaffirming that Deadpool should remain 'an outsider' to groups like the Avengers or X-Men.

Rumor: Ryan Reynolds' X-Men Movie to Have Cable, Wolverine & Storm
A new rumor suggests Ryan Reynolds is developing an X-Force-style Marvel movie featuring Deadpool, Wolverine, Cable, and Storm. The report follows updates about the future of mutant characters in the MCU and Reynolds' continued creative involvement after Deadpool & Wolverine. Though unconfirmed by Marvel Studios, insider leaks and Reynolds' script work have sparked speculation about a separate mutant-led team. The Hollywood Reporter previously revealed that Ryan Reynolds confirmed he is writing a new X-Men team-up movie, described as 'X-Force-style,' where Deadpool would play a supporting role rather than the lead. According to insider MyTimeToShineHello on X (formerly Twitter), 'In the X-Force-style movie Ryan Reynolds is writing, Josh Brolin's Cable and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine are on his team, along with Storm.' Marvel has not yet confirmed an actress for the role of Storm. The film will remain separate from the official MCU X-Men reboot, which Michael Lesslie is writing to introduce the X-Men as a formal team within the Marvel timeline. The report stated that Reynolds is independently developing the project without Marvel Studios' direct involvement. It remains in the early stages and will not serve as a solo Deadpool sequel to Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), which Reynolds previously confirmed as his final solo outing as the character. It also noted that Reynolds has been 'exploring ideas' that spotlight classic X-Men characters while placing Deadpool in a supporting, comedic role. The project has no confirmed director or release date. Deadpool's previous films included X-Men characters like Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Domino. Deadpool & Wolverine expanded this roster with appearances from Sabretooth, Pyro, and Gambit. In parallel, Avengers: Doomsday will feature legacy X-Men actors such as Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Rebecca Romijn. Marvel Studios has not confirmed the project or provided a production timeline or title. Reynolds has not released further details about casting or the storyline. Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on SuperHeroHype. The post Rumor: Ryan Reynolds' X-Men Movie to Have Cable, Wolverine & Storm appeared first on Mandatory.

Bryan Cranston in talks for Professor X role in Marvel's mutant saga
Marvel Studios is reportedly interested in casting Bryan Cranston as Professor Charles Xavier in its upcoming X-Men reboot, sources reveal. The potential casting is part of Marvel's broader plan to relaunch the mutant saga within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), set to unfold after the events of 'Avengers: Secret Wars.' Although no official offer has been made, insiders indicate that Marvel has approached Cranston for the iconic role of Professor X. Cranston, known for his dynamic acting range, has previously expressed interest in joining the MCU as a complex antagonist. He has specifically mentioned a desire to portray Mister Sinister, emphasizing his preference for characters that have not yet appeared in live-action adaptations to avoid direct comparisons. The forthcoming MCU film 'Avengers: Doomsday,' scheduled for December 18, 2026, is expected to feature returning original X-Men cast members, including Patrick Stewart reprising his role as Professor X and Ian McKellen as Magneto. This ensemble cast will unite with the Avengers to battle the villain Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. While Cranston's involvement remains unofficial, Marvel's casting decisions for the X-Men reboot are anticipated soon after the release of 'Avengers: Doomsday.' Fans of the franchise eagerly await official announcements as Marvel Studios continues to build its mutant universe within the MCU. This potential casting marks a significant step in Marvel's strategy to integrate the X-Men characters into the MCU, setting the stage for new storylines and epic collaborations in upcoming films.

Wild Details Reprotedly Leak for AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY and SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY; Doctor Doom, Sentinels, and Savage Hulk!? — GeekTyrant
Marvel Studios is setting up for some massive swings in 2026, and if the latest reports are to be believed, things are going to get multiversal-level crazy. Details reportedly pulled from a Disney Consumer Products presentation in Las Vegas are spilling onto the Internet, giving us a tease at where Avengers: Doomsday and Spider-Man: Brand New Day are heading. And Doctor Doom, the X-Men, and even Savage Hulk are in the mix. According to Reddit user Pomojema_The_Dreamer, who also contributes to Star Wars News Net, the sizzle reel and concept art shown behind closed doors included some big reveals. Most notably? Avengers: Doomsday is said to kick off in Wakanda, with Shuri, Namor, and M'Baku showing off updated looks. But the crazy thing that was shown was that Doctor Doom is allegedly controlling the Sentinels, the mutant-hunting robots we saw standing outside the X-Mansion in earlier set photos. This sets up a major confrontation, with the X-Men, who are now in comic-accurate suits, and it sees Deadpool, Gambit, Shang-Chi, and the Invisible Woman all reportedly uniting to take them down. The reality being explored here seems to be Earth-10005, a mashup of the classic X-Men films, Deadpool & Wolverine , and the post-credits stinger from The Marvels . The idea of Doom wielding Sentinel tech has comic book precedent. The guy's no stranger to commanding killer robots, whether it's Doombots or something even nastier. Combining mutant-hunters with Latverian tech feels like a classic Marvel escalation, and it gives Avengers: Doomsday an interesting edge. On the Spider-Man side of things, Brand New Day concept art reportedly confirms Tarantula as one of the villains joining the fray. While several characters have taken the mantle, it looks like we're getting the original, Anton Miguel Rodriguez, who is a former revolutionary-turned-nationalist super-soldier. It's also said that the marketing campaign may position Savage Hulk as the movie's main villain. So, Spider-Man vs. Hulk! That's a very cool move it true! It'll be really interesting to see how that plays out! I hope this is the direction the story is going. Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters on July 31, 2026, while Avengers: Doomsday follows on December 18, 2026.
