Thunderbolts* arrives in theaters tomorrow evening, and while it will be the final Phase 5 story on the big screen, Marvel Studios has plenty of tales left to tell in the Multiverse Saga and beyond. 

The Cosmic Circus has shared more MCU rumours today, including a small update on the upcoming Vision series. Apparently, even though it's going to borrow ideas from both West Coast Avengers and Tom King's Vision run, the show is "more original than most of the previous MCU shows."

The site also reveals that Hulkling, the Kree/Skrull hybrid who dates Wiccan in the comics, is going to be introduced in the next Saga as Marvel Studios tells more space-based stories. 

On that note, it sounds like we'll see the Xandarians attempting to rebuild Xandar after Thanos' attack in Avengers: Infinity War and that, "Annihilus and the Annihilation Wave are coming, and he won’t be a one-off villain."

Other minor updates include the second seasons of X-Men '97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man being "wonderful", while Wonder Man's stunt and camera work are described as "really good." 

In bigger news, the site reports that, when it comes to which key things Marvel Studios is pulling from Jonathan Hickman's Avengers run for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, it's best described as "everything."

It's also said that Agatha All Along star Audrey Plaza will eventually return as Rio Vidal/Lady Death. 

You may have also seen some chatter online that WWE Superstar Liv Morgan is being eyed for an MCU role. Not so, according to multiple outlets. According to PWInsider's Mike Johnson, she won't star in Avengers: Doomsday or any other superhero project. 

Instead, it's a "prestigious" project that will supposedly surprise people. If the rumour mill is to be believed, you can expect to learn more about that as soon as tomorrow (we've also done some digging and, alas, it's nothing Marvel or DC-related, despite social media scoopers suggesting otherwise).

The photographer who has provided us with those aerial shots of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and Avengers: Doomsday shots has also claimed today that the mysterious house that's being built for the latter project "has been listed as a 1960's House."

Avengers Mansion? The X-Mansion? Something Fantastic Four-related? That remains to be seen, though there's already been speculation that Doctor Doom will pay a visit to the home of the X-Men. 

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

@Goldboink - "that character will appear soon"
"that other character will debut after Secret Wars"
"this character will appear next sooner than we think"

zero real scoops, lol. What a joke, these scoopers.

Pretty much all sounds cool if true!!.

I’m looking forward to YFNSM S2 since the first season was such a pleasant surprise and solid take on Spidey & his mythos imo that I’m interested to see how the narrative progresses…

Also not surprised about Aubrey Plaza’s Lady Death returning but still welcomed since I enjoyed her in Agatha All Along.

A major dramatic role could be a problem for Liv. I don’t watch wrestling, but based off of her 90 seconds in season 2 of Chucky, I’ve got concerns.

There are a ton of untapped stories once you bring in X-Men and FF.

Continuing with Young Avengers characters like Hulkling post Secret Wars?

fr Marvel needs an intervention.

The ship is sinking. A hard reboot will save it.
If they choose to continue with the continuity that is sinking the ship AFTER their one big opportunity to abandon that ship for a new one, then they deserve to sink.

@ObserverIO - The only good thing about using all these dumbass characters is it boosts back issue prices of some of the more obscure stuff, though even that effect seems to be fading a bit as people just don't care any more.

These idiots better reboot the entire universe, and incorporate mutants into the equation. They HAVE to do this
Corruptor

@bobevanz - They don't even have to reboot an entire universe. Just some standalone movies of the most popular characters would be fine.

Like we pretty much got from 2000-2012ish.

I would like to see a Marvel Special Presentation based on Peter Quill spending the final few days with his grandfather on an epic adventure with "The Legendary Star Lord". And in it Peter can see Lady Death due to his Celestial heritage which allows him to see cosmic beings, Lady Death explains that his grandfather has a few days to live and for Peter to enjoy him. And the two go on an epic adventure on Earth while Lady Death watches the events unfold.
