A slew of new MCU rumors have emerged in a span of weeks. These offer possible insights into upcoming MCU films like Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Avengers: Doomsday, Secret Wars, and the X-Men reboot. Due to the rapid rate of their emergence, fans may have struggled to keep up with updates or possibly missed reports entirely. Accordingly, below is a roundup of all the latest rumors that have surfaced.
List of the latest MCU rumors
Jack Champion being considered for Cyclops role
Notable industry scooper MyTimetoShineHello reported on X (formerly Twitter) two days ago that Avatar star Jack Champion is in consideration for the role of Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops in the MCU X-Men reboot. This is not exactly new, as it’s been around since at least early last year.
While Marvel has not confirmed Champion’s casting, the actor has addressed speculation and expressed interest. While speaking with Josh Wilding, he acknowledged them as merely rumors but said, “I hope it comes true. I mean, I definitely would love to play that character.”
Spider-Man’s shocking weapon against Hulk
Fellow scooper Cryptic HD QUALITY vaguely suggested that Spider-Man could use one of Shocker’s gauntlets to fight Hulk in Brand New Day (via ComicBookMovie). They wrote, “What if he’s showing Frank something that’s a bit…shocking.”
While unconfirmed, closer inspection of the photo shared — taken from the recent trailer — shows one of Spidey’s arms inserted into what seems to be a blurry gauntlet.
Magneto part of Avengers: Doomsday’s opening battle
MyTimeToShineHello shared that Ian McKellen’s Magneto would appear in the film’s opening battle, taking place on Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man’s Earth. This follows an earlier rumor that suggested Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool would be sent to Maguire’s earth, resulting in a fight between the former and Spidey that ends tragically. Taking both into account, this means that Maguire would face off against the three of them.
Avengers: Secret Wars to answer Thor crying over Deadpool
Deadpool & Wolverine famously and hilariously kicked off a mystery: Why was Thor crying over Deadpool? According to MyTimeToShineHello, this will reportedly be solved in Avengers: Secret Wars.
Incursions have colors
Cryptic HD QUALITY shared that incursions that will be seen in Avengers: Doomsday will have multiple colors.
