As we head deeper into the closing stages of the Multiverse Saga, the rumour mill continues churning out some wild claims about Marvel Studios' plans for the handful of projects left before Avengers: Secret Wars

The Cosmic Circus has once again shared some new intel, starting by confirming F.R.I.D.A.Y and J.A.R.V.I.S will indeed appear in the upcoming Vision TV series (unfortunately, the site's Alex Perez doesn't elaborate on what form they'll take following reports they'll be "human" rather than A.I.).

It's also noted that while Vision will serve as a follow-up to WandaVision and Agatha All Along, the focus will primarily be on the title character.

When it comes to the long-delayed Ironheart series, the site has heard that Solo: A Star Wars Story star Alden Ehrenreich is playing the son of Obadiah Stane, Ezekiel Stane. However, it will likely be a one-and-done role in the MCU for him as that character.

As for the mystery MCU movie being released in February 2026, Perez is confident that it's Blade "since the script is finally getting to the place where everyone is comfortable with it." However, should more delays follow, Marvel Studios will look to fill that slot with...something. 

While Spider-Man 4 has been slotted between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, the untitled releases dated for 2026 and 2027 may be part of a brief "Battleworld Saga" which reimagines the MCU after whatever chaos is unleashed by Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom. 

Looking beyond Secret Wars for a moment, the report states, "Nova, I’m hearing will be left as one of the new projects to kick off the next Saga of the MCU, primarily because a part of what’s coming up has to do with the Cosmic side of the MCU and exploring further than what we’ve seen before."

Finally, we have Wonder Man. Perez has heard he'll be part of the next Avengers movies, a claim later backed up by leaker @Cryptic4KQual.

It also sounds like we'll be seeing more from the set of The Fantastic Four: First Steps in the coming days as well.

As always, let us know your thoughts on these rumours in the comments section below.

@EskimoJ - that would be great. Think that's a great opportunity for Captain Marvel, Thor, Rocket's Guardians and the Eternals to return too

'"Nova, I’m hearing will be left as one of the new projects to kick off the next Saga of the MCU, primarily because a part of what’s coming up has to do with the Cosmic side of the MCU and exploring further than what we’ve seen before."'

Good! Let's bring back the Eternals (or what's left of them)!

If true then it’s unfortunate to hear that Ehrenreich’s Ezekiel Stane could be a one & done since it would be nice to have more recurring villains in the MCU…

Granted , it depends on how he’s portrayed and utilized in Ironheart but Alden is a good choice for the role so it would suck if that’s all we see of him.

@JoshWilding I'm curious do, do you work on multiple articles at one time? Cause you pour them out back to back so quickly, I'm just curious as to how you work.

@HammerLegFoot - They are on queue and he can publish them when he needs/wants to. He actually works his ass off, but people just want's to give him some nonsense sometimes for fun. Let's just say it's a tradition.

@RegularPoochie - Oh yea I've been on this website for years I know about all the hate josh gets. And a queue makes sense. I was just curious cause dude be busting his ass article after article I just wondered how he did it.
RegularPoochie
RegularPoochie - 11/19/2024, 11:11 AM
@HammerLegFoot - Yeah, I think he just writes them all beforehand first and let them be queue, then he spell checks them etc. and then just releases them. People doesn't sometimes understand how long it can take and he makes shit ton of them in a day.

@RegularPoochie @HammerLegFoot - I'm pretty impressed by the frequency of articles as well. Even out of the smallest things, the guy writes a full article

@HammerLegFoot - I try to do one at a time, but when something new drops, yeah, I can be writing two or three at once. It's not easy, and not my preferred approach, but it's kinda what I have to do to bring you guys these updates as quickly as possible. 😅

At one point if I'm not mistaken wasn't James Gunn suppose to be like in charge to work on the cosmic side of the MCU?

@HammerLegFoot - that's before he went to dc

@cyclopsprime - Ok so I didnt fever dream that.

bkmeijer1 - 11/19/2024, 11:15 AM
@HammerLegFoot - I was thinking about that recently as well. Don't know if it was real or a rumour, but it was definitely news at one point

@bkmeijer1 - @HammerLegFoot - yep he was supposed to front the cosmic side starting with Guardians 3 but then he got cancelled for some old bad taste from jokes years ago and Marvel/Disney sacked him

Considering there isn't a current Avengers team of heroic team, It makes sense that Marvel is trying to use this saga to make up a New Avengers, Young Avengers, and West Coast Avengers to give Earth 616 a chance.

bkmeijer1 - 11/19/2024, 11:16 AM
@SonOfAGif - I could see the potential recruits already grouping together in Doomsday/Secret Wars, with the next Saga following up on that by officially putting them in teams together.

bkmeijer1 - 11/19/2024, 11:17 AM
Feels like most of this was already known or speculated before, so doesn't really feel like news. Doubt we'll get a Battleworld Saga though. That should've been a full phase then.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 11/19/2024, 11:19 AM
@bkmeijer1 - idk if Battleworld if they do it needs to be a full phase or one at all

You could just have that be in Secret Wars imo.

Instead of race swapping Wonder Man ....where are Bishop, Doctor Voodoo and Static?

Those are just some of the great black characters in Marvel's gallery that I would rather see fleshed out.

@TyrantBossMedia - Isn't Static DC?
Radders
Radders - 11/19/2024, 12:18 PM
@TyrantBossMedia - Why would they do that? They don't see any legitimacy in those characters, surely you know the MCU only see value in the white characters, so race swap instead?
