Kevin Feige Confirms Talks With Ryan Reynolds About the Future of Deadpool and Wolverine in the MCU Are Ongoing — GeekTyrant
Kevin Feige made the rounds this weekend, talking about the future of the MCU and some of our favorite characters. Two that unsurprisingly popped into the conversation were Deadpool and Wolverine. While we don't know what lies ahead for the pair, played by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, respectively, regarding their futures in the Marvel roles, Feige did confirm their futures are part of a bigger discussion. When asked at a round-table interview if he saw the actors in his vision of the MCU's future, Feige explained: 'There have absolutely been discussions. We're in touch with Ryan a lot. So the answer is yes.' When pressed further about Hugh Jackman specifically, Feige joked: 'He's doing it until he's 90, man.' As of right now, it's unclear where they'll appear next. Neither have been announced as part of the Avengers: Doomsday cast, though it would be unsurprising to see them appear as a surprise. Marvel is mapping out its next three phases, and what saga will come next post- Secret Wars , so it's possible they could appear after that as well. via: CB

In Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe, the King Of The Monsters returns to stomp us, again
Godzilla has had one hell of a run. His famed Japanese franchise has produced 38 movies over 70 years with a merchandise and media bonanza that continues to reap profits. The King Of The Monsters has also invaded the comics realm—there was a 12-year run from Dark Horse between 1987 and 1999, followed by IDW's consistent series and one-shots that have been released since 2011. It makes sense that Marvel Comics would want to get a piece of the action with their recent one-shot crossovers and new Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe five-issue event. This isn't the first time Marvel has tried to capitalize on Godzilla's popularity: The comics titan released the first American Godzilla comics series between 1977 and 1979. The kaiju king was tied into the Marvel Universe with the immediate appearance of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the debut issue, with some superhero teams (notably, the Champions, Fantastic Four, and Avengers) woven into the narrative after that. Additionally, the original series gave us the first appearances of Dr. Demonicus, Red Ronin, and Devil Dinosaur. The first issue of the new, five-part Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe series pits the gargantuan, nuclear-breathed lizard against many of Marvel's mightiest. It's clearly taking cues from his superhero battles at the end of the original '70s run. But whereas those kaiju clashes had a more dramatic tone, this latest incarnation—humorously scripted by Gerry Duggan (Deadpool, Marauders) and dynamically drawn by Javier Garrón (X-Men, Avengers)—combines the sense of awe and wonder at Godzilla smashing up NYC while injecting tongue-in-cheek superhero banter. Right away, it's the Mole Man's fault. His minions mine a rare type of vibranium for use in a weapon whose powerful blasts unwittingly awaken a slumbering Celestial and Godzilla. The two titans tussle at the southern tip of Manhattan, and Godzilla comes out on top. After that, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers team up to try to stop the stomp—emphasis on 'try.' This is Godzilla we're talking about. The mighty, blustery Thor thinks it'll be a piece of cake until he gets tail-swatted into outer space. When The Thing sees a giant lizard foot looming over the FF, he surmises, 'Looks like it's getting clobbered time.' Even the usually steely Captain America is befuddled when an attempt to fatally wound Godzilla fails. 'Today's really gonna stink,' he sighs, before hightailing it with Quicksilver. If you're looking for a deeper human interest story like the one presented in the recent hit movie Godzilla Minus One, it isn't there. With so many characters crammed into this issue—including a total of 18 superheroes by the last panel— there isn't room to elaborate on much more than the imminent threat to mankind. So far, this saga is all about the chaos and carnage and occasional wisecracks, and it delivers on that front. If you're a casual comics fan who likes kaiju, it might feel discombobulating to be tossed into the fray right away. Knowing Marvel shorthand makes it easier to dive into this series and its six one-shot predecessors, which emerged in the half-year-long buildup to this spectacle. Clearly, Duggan and Garrón know their audience, its demands, and the comics history of their material, so they quite literally cut to the chase at the start. Duggan also summons similar quippy humor from the earlier Spider-Man crossover to keep things moving—there's even a goofy J. Jonah Jameson cameo that recalls a funnier one from way back in Godzilla #23—then turns the tables by delivering a tragic moment during the last three pages. The six separate one-shots released earlier this year acted as a prelude to this new series, although they were not interconnected, and you don't need to have read them to appreciate this. But they serve up some interesting ideas and take place during different periods along the Marvel timeline. In the '60s-era Godzilla Vs. The Fantastic Four, King Ghidorah becomes the new herald to Galactus, and the Big G needs an infusion of the Silver Surfer's Power Cosmic to take on the three-headed beast. In the late '70s-era Godzilla Vs. Hulk, the angry green giant's gamma-infused blood helps Godzilla battle a genetically engineered Hedorah. In the '80s-era Godzilla Vs. Spider-Man, Spidey's newly acquired symbiote suit infects Godzilla, who has to wage an inner battle with the alien parasite. Many revered Toho characters like Mothra, Jet Jaguar, and two Mechagodzillas also make appearances. These one-shots are relevant to Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe because the preview panel for the second issue presents an image of Godzilla's growling visage being consumed by Venom, and Spider-Man fans know that could reap disastrous consequences for the world if the symbiote succeeds this time. Thus, elements from these other stories, even the '70s run, may tie into the next four issues of this one. Perhaps Dr. Demonicus will return with another monster menagerie or Galactus will show up to wreak more havoc, tossing a cosmic monkey wrench into the mix. (Or perhaps a giant cosmic monkey?) In the '70s series, a young man named Rob Takaguchi was convinced of Godzilla's goodness and even managed to get him to stop rampaging in New York and peacefully disappear into the ocean. A narrative twist and different end game for our kaiju king might lie in the wings here. No matter how many times this colossal kaiju returns to decimate different urban landscapes, fans return for more. You can't keep an ornery kaiju down, and we really seem to like that.

Snoop Dogg officially becomes co-owner of Swansea City
The 53-year-old star, who hinted at investing in the club by helping promote the club's shirt launch earlier this week, has joined Croatian midfielder Luka Modric in linking up with the Swans. He said: 'My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City. He found the shirt that fits. @snoopdogg 🦢 — Swansea City AFC (@SwansOfficial) July 17, 2025 'The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me. This is a proud, working class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me. 'I'm proud to be part of Swansea City. I am going to do all I can to help the club.' On Sunday Snoop Dogg unveiled Swansea's new kit with the south Wales club taking a playful dig at Wrexham's Hollywood owner Ryan Reynolds. Deadpool actor Reynolds had responded to Wrexham's own kit launch by posting a picture of himself on Instagram wearing the latest shirt while holding a dog. Dogg included @SnoopDogg Nuthin' But A Wales Thang, the Jacks are ready. We're the Pride of Wales. @VancityReynolds @Wrexham_AFC #JackArmy 🐶⚔️🦢 — Swansea City AFC (@SwansOfficial) July 12, 2025 Swansea reacted by turning to another famous 'canine' face for their kit unveiling ahead of the 2025-26 season, posting on X: 'Dogg included @SnoopDogg. 'Nuthin' But A Wales Thang, the Jacks are ready. We're the Pride of Wales.' Now the Swans have confirmed another high-profile owner has arrived in both Welsh football and, along with former American football star Tom Brady at Birmingham, in next season's Championship. The Swans said in a statement: 'Swansea City is delighted to announce global rap superstar and multi-platinum selling artist Snoop Dogg has become the club's latest high-profile co-owner and investor. 'The 53-year-old, who caused a social media sensation when he helped launch our 2025-26 home shirt on Saturday, comes on board a few months after Croatian football great Luka Modrić became part of Swansea City. 'Snoop is renowned as one of the greatest and most influential rappers of all time, and has sold 35 million albums worldwide across a performing and recording career spanning more than 30 years. 'The Death Row Records owner has won countless awards and received 17 Grammy nominations. 'He has also always had a deep love of sport, and football in particular. At one point he was a brand ambassador for the FIFA video game series, and has been pictured wearing a variety of team jerseys over the years. 'Swansea's home kit may be the latest in that sequence, but Snoop's ties to the club will run deeper than the donning of the famous white shirt as he formally becomes a member of club ownership. 'And it is hoped his global profile and love of football can play an important part in helping us spread the Swansea City name as far and wide as possible in order to boost our commercial performance to further support our aspirations as a club.' The club say they have unveiled a mural of Snoop Dogg on the stadium's West Stand. Chief executive Tom Gorringe said: 'It is very exciting for us as a football club to formally welcome Snoop Dogg as a co-owner and investor into Swansea City. 'His enjoyment and love of football is well documented and he has often spoken of a desire to get more involved in the sport. We are delighted he believes that being part of Swansea City is the right way to realise that ambition. 'Dogg is passionate about this project and helping us continue to raise the profile of the club to as wide an audience as possible.'

Legendary Rapper Snoop Dogg Joins Ownership Group of Welsh Soccer Club Swansea City
Images via Swansea City and Imagn: Snoop Dogg It looks like Swansea City could be the next soccer fairytale in the making, following in the footsteps of Wrexham's Hollywood rise led by Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds. But why the sudden buzz? The Welsh club recently dropped their 2025–26 home kit in a reveal video on Monday that featured none other than rap legend Snoop Dogg . While fans were surprised by the cameo, the bigger news soon followed. Swansea has now officially confirmed that Dogg will invest in the Welsh club and join them as a co-owner. His involvement reportedly stems from a mutual connection with Swansea's American investors, Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen. Snoop Dogg's Minority Ownership to Boost the Profile of Swansea City This investment is part of the owners' effort to increase the club's brand value and commercial revenue. And with Dogg, who currently boasts around 89 million Instagram followers, that attempt is certainly in the right direction. The club owners explained in a statement, 'To borrow a phrase from Snoop's back catalogue, this announcement is the next episode for Swansea City as we seek to create new opportunities to boost the club's reach and profile." Moreover, even Dogg was thrilled to embark on his new sporting endeavour. He has previously revealed his favorite football club to be Celtic. "My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Spacious 4 BHK Homes starting @ ₹5.25 Cr* on Dwarka E-Way Emaar India Get Quote Undo He added, "The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me. This is a proud, working-class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me. I'm proud to be part of Swansea City. I am going to do all I can to help the club, and I look forward to getting to know all my YJBS." Snoop Dogg has previously been involved in working as a guest commentator for WWE and a correspondent for NBC at the Olympics. The exact financial details of the deal are unknown at this point, but Dogg's global popularity will certainly be helpful for the Welsh club. Moreover, the club recently posted a pre-tax loss of around 20.39 million dollars, so this new investment from Dogg could serve as a lifeline. And Dogg isn't the only prominent name that has invested in Swansea as of late. Luka Modric Became a Co-owner of Swansea in April This Year Just like Snoop Dogg, former Real Madrid legend Luka Modric also joined the club as an investor and co-owner in April of this year. Figures of his investment were not revealed, but his football experience is expected to serve the club well. "This is an exciting opportunity. Swansea has a strong identity, an incredible fanbase, and the ambition to compete at the highest level. My goal is to support the club's growth in a positive way and to help to build an exciting future," Modric said in a statement. The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner recently signed with Italian giants AC Milan after leaving Real Madrid as its most decorated player in history. At 39, this seems to be a venture in the right direction for the veteran soccer player.

Snoop Dogg becomes co-owner of Swansea
