MCU Rumor Roundup: Plans For THE DEFENDERS, Russos Want To Direct AVENGERS 5, Spider-Man Joining A New Team

In today's MCU rumour roundup, we have intel on Daredevil: Born Again, big updates on the animated corner of the MCU, a wild claim about the Russo Brothers wanting to take the helm of Avengers 5...

We've already shared some exciting MCU rumours with you today - including the possible identity of the next Black Panther - but there are so many doing the rounds that it's time for another roundup! 

To start, we're going back to The Cosmic Circus. According to the site, Marvel Studios "is not holding back" with Daredevil: Born Again, and the show supposedly takes bigger risks with its story than the Netflix series (it also supposedly has much higher stakes). 

Sticking in that corner of the MCU, it's said neither Luke Cage nor Iron Fist will be recast if they return before Avengers: Secret Wars. However, we should "expect Cage to be a more prominent character as opposed to Rand, who is expected to take a backseat role."

It sounds like some big Defenders-related cameos are being lined up for Daredevil: Born Again.

There are other miscellaneous details, including Armor Wars still being in development, Dormammu's return being "soon," Agent Woo having "a very interesting character arc" in a future project, and Moon Knight season 2 shifting the action to New York before Midnight Suns.

As for Wonder Man, the site describes the upcoming Disney+ series as a "combination of comedy and horror."

Finally, we have an animation update from them revealing that X-Men '97 season 2 is aiming for a summer 2025 release and that Spider-Man will return in What If...? as a member of the Guardians of the Multiverse! 

Sticking on that side of things, Daniel Richtman reports that Eyes of Wakanda is set to introduce a new Iron Fist and more Greek Gods. He also says Nova, Blonde Phantom, The Punisher, Wiccan, White Tiger, and Strange Tales are among the MCU TV shows currently in early development for Disney+. 

How many of those will become a reality is hard to say, though Blonde Phantom does appear to be taking shape with both Sydney Sweeney and Taylor Swift supposedly eyed for the title role. 

Jeff Sneider also dropped some big news on The Hot Mic, claiming that "the Russos wanted [Avengers 5]." This has been backed up by @MyTimeToShineH who says that Marvel Studios turned down the filmmakers who helmed Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame

There could be any number of reasons for that, though their recent movies going way over budget may not have helped Joe and Anthony's cause.

Sneider also says that Marvel Studios' Hall H panel at the San Diego Comic-Con will be "movie-centric," with their TV offerings likely saved for D23.

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

Doesn't Mike Colter have a show he is currently staring in? I imagine that might make it difficult to get him in the near future

@Ryguy88 - And I mean you and I have our debates here sometimes, those are just opinions and in my mind both of us have had good points, sometimes I can say something funny in my mind, but I don't mean no harm, we have here in Finland different type of speak with people, we curse and we can use "bad" words like "pastturd"(you know what word I mean, lol), but we actually actually talk like that with friends and "younger" people in my age, because that was normal then when I was like 13-30, lmfao, but of course we know how to act with other persons that isn't in that zone. Craziest shite is that the the elders are now craziest when you are shopping etc. LMFAO, they think nobody says nothing back to them if they mock there other elders and market workes and you name it. When you nicely call them out "CALL THE POLIIIIICE" and other people watches the like wtf? Sorry about the rant, had to let it out. Finland is crazy. "Happiest country in the world" what an utter BS

It would be funny or even kinda cool if Jimmy’s supposed arc is him becoming the more suave James Bond-esque character he is in the comics….

We have seen a bit of that in this universe.

Also if true then showcasing the movies you can at Comic Con and saving the tv shows for D23 is a good way to make both events must see.

I’d love to see Coulter come back as Luke Cage. They are primed for Cage’s mayoral campaign from the comics after having some time with Fisk as mayor beforehand.

Three great MCU movies, each one often cited by users on this site to be the best MCU movie and Marvel turned them down? I find that hard to believe.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 6/28/2024, 3:21 PM
@RolandD - perhaps they want fresh blood , that’s the only reason I can think of

However if they were willing to do it , it’s hard to believe Marvel woukd just turn them down without listening to their pitch atleast.
RolandD
RolandD - 6/28/2024, 4:01 PM
@TheVisionary25 - I just think that it would be a mistake to turn them down if it’s true, but I definitely don’t have a clue about what goes behind the scenes.🤷‍♂️ Who knows?
