Breaking Bad and The Boys star Giancarlo Esposito recently revealed he's joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a mystery role. A few hours ago, a rumour cropped up claiming he'll star in a Disney+ TV series and the actor himself has now confirmed that is indeed the case.
"The MCU has knocked on my door and it's a role you won’t predict," Esposito told fans during a recent convention appearance. "It will be teased and there will be a series afterwards."
This appears to debunk theories he'll voice Norman Osborn in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man as there's nowhere for that villain to be teased before the animated series launches on the streamer either this year or next.
Interestingly, the fan who shared these updates adds that when someone mentioned to Esposito that he'd make an "excellent" Doctor Doom in The Fantastic Four, he mentioned "talking it into existence and making yourself believe in it.

Months ago, Marvel Studios unveiled the actors set to portray the core characters in the upcoming ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot. Pedro Pascal was selected to embody Reed Richards, while Vanessa Kirby was cast as Sue Storm. Joseph Quinn will portray the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will bring The Thing to life. Additionally, Julia Garner will play Shalla-Bal, the MCU’s version of Silver Surfer.
The casting stirred controversy, with much of the criticism aimed at Garner’s portrayal of Silver Surfer. Pedro Pascal also faced scrutiny, with some fans expressing doubt about his suitability for the role of Mr. Fantastic, still holding onto the idea of John Krasinski as Reed Richards.
During a recent interview with Salaam Nerds, Rahul Kohli disclosed that he was in contention for the role but ultimately lost out to the star of ‘The Last of Us.’ He described his feelings about the loss as fluctuating from day to day.

Rahul Kohli was close to joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the actor tried out for a role in the upcoming The Fantastic Four.
The actor from iZombie and The Fall of the House of Usher recently revealed he was being considered for the role of Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards.
“Yeah, I don’t know if I’m allowed to talk about it but I didn’t get it, is the important thing. But on good days, I see the Constantine,” Kohli said in an interview with Salaam Nerds. “It will flare up once and again. And, I love all of them. On good days, you’re like, ‘Man, I’m wanted!’ People really want to see. You’re the guy that people will shout out for anything.”
He continued, “On bad days, ‘It’s a reminder that you’re not the guy. You’re not there. These are the roles you’ll never get.

If you’re not caught up on your peak TV viewing, consider this your spoiler warning. Four months have passed since Jennifer Coolidge bagged her second consecutive Emmy for “The White Lotus” and thus became the eighth drama or comedy series regular honored by the TV academy for a season in which her character died. Emmy nominations of this kind have become quite common in recent years, and it’s possible that over 15% of the 2024 lead and supporting continuing series contenders will be added to the list.
The current consensus among more than 2,400 Gold Derby users is that five continuing series performers whose characters perished within the past year will receive Emmy nominations, while a few others have outside shots at recognition. This does not include characters like Anakin Skywalker who died before their shows’ latest seasons began but appear as ghosts or in flashbacks. Undead characters like most of...

After establishing himself as one of Hollywood’s hottest horror filmmakers with the 2022 mega-smash “Barbarian,” former “Whitest Kids U’Know” star Zach Cregger, seems ready to take an even bigger swing with his second directorial effort. Last year, it was announced that his spec script “Weapons” had sold to New Line in a massive bidding war. Since then, Cregger has pulled together an all-star cast for what’s being described as an interrelated, multistory horror epic that’s tonally in the vein of Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Magnolia.”
So far, Cregger has managed to attract the talents of Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, and Alden Ehrenreich, as well as the producing powers of Roy Lee and Miri Yun from Vertigo and J.D.

The Wolf Man remains one of the horror genre's most iconic movie monsters and in 2017, there were plans for him to take centre stage in Universal's ill-fated "Dark Universe."
The idea of an McU-inspired shared world featuring these creatures crumbled when The Mummy bombed, leaving the studio with no other choice than to part ways with Hollywood heavyweights like Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Russell Crowe, and Javier Bardem.
There's been some chatter about Universal attempting to revive its Dark Universe, but filmmaker Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man won't be part of them.
"As an outsider, I would say that The Mummy's Dark Universe, in my humble opinion, felt like it was reactive to what was going on with all the superhero stuff - the MCU and DC universe," producer Ken Kao tells Screen Rant (via FearHQ.com). "And we know there's been a lot of talk about what...

The upcoming reboot of ‘The Fantastic Four’ is generating significant buzz as one of the most discussed projects in development. Intended to revitalize the previous ‘Fantastic Four’ franchise, which received mixed reviews at best, the film faces a challenging release amidst criticism of Marvel Studios’ recent underwhelming projects.

Last year, New Line Cinema went all-in on a partnership with Barbarian (watch it Here) writer/director Zach Cregger and the film’s producers at BoulderLight Pictures. New Line came out the winner in a bidding war over Cregger’s next film, a mysterious horror project called Weapons… which was, at one point, set to star Pedro Pascal of The Last of Us and Renate Reinsve of The Worst Person in the World. Pascal had to leave the project so he could star in the Marvel Cinematic Universe reboot of Fantastic Four instead – and even though that much larger production hasn’t started filming yet, as of right now it looks like Fantastic Four is going to beat Weapons to the screen by about six months! While that superhero movie is set to reach theatres on July 25, 2025, New Line has announced (via Deadline) that Weapons has been given a theatrical...

DC Studios is wasting no time in setting a release date for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow now that the movie has found its director.
The high-profile movie will fly into cinemas on June 26, 2026, DC and Warner Bros. announced Tuesday. It is the second film to receive a release date since James Gunn and Peter Safran were brought in to overhaul DC under the new banner DC Studios. The first was Superman, which Gunn is currently shooting for a July 2025 release date.
Flimmaker Craig Gillespie was tapped by Gunn and Safran to shepherd Supergirl, which stars Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon). She’ll play Superman’s Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman. The feature film, from a script by Ana Nogueira, is inspired by the Tom King and Bilquis Evely comic, and will depart from the earnest take on the character seen on the CW Supergirl series.

Cruella and Richard Jewell star Paul Walter Hauser is one of the most exciting additions to The Fantastic Four, but as we write this, there's still no word on who he's playing.
Mole Man is the most popular suggestion among comic book fans, though it's just as easy to imagine him voicing H.E.R.B.I.E., for example. Marvel's First Family has many allies and enemies on the page so Hauser could ultimately be portraying any number of characters in the upcoming reboot.
Talking to Screen Rant, Hauser broke his silence on joining The Fantastic Four and confirmed he's playing someone from the comics.
"[All] I can say is that I, in some iteration, am in the movie The Fantastic Four until I get fired or recast. So I can't say anything about the character I'm playing, but know that it is in the sort of lexicon and mythology of The Fantastic Four stories,...

The investigative journalism we see on TV is completely true — except for the parts that are completely made up. But how can we tell what’s real and what’s fabricated? Inventing Anna, the new Shondaland series on Netflix about Anna Delvey (Julia Garner), the Russian-born faux heiress who elegantly finessed banks, hotels and socialites out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, gives viewers lots of opportunities to ask this question. Based on Jessica Pressler’s 2018 New York magazine feature on Delvey, Inventing Anna closely follows reporter Vivian Kent (Anna Chlumsky), a fictionalized version of Pressler, as she attempts to connect Delvey’s dots — and make her deadline.
Inventing Anna is as much Vivian’s story as it is Anna’s — in certain respects, they’re both doing the titular inventing. Vivian’s obsession with telling Anna’s story isn’t totally selfless; she’s trying to redeem herself from a recent career setback,...

Money may talk, but real wealth whispers. And Anna Delvey’s constant name-drops? Those are more like screams into the void. In the new Shondaland drama Inventing Anna, Delvey — masterfully played by Julia Garner — is constantly mentioning famous people, places and, of course, fashion labels in the most ostentatious way possible. While her actual bank balance is a well-kept secret, Delvey makes sure the world knows that her parties are populated with real estate moguls and world-renowned artists, that she’s been to all the hottest new restaurants and that she only gets the most expensive designer pieces as gifts for her friends. In fact, Anna drops so many names, it’s hard not to trip — and to wonder just who all these people actually are.
To help you keep up with Anna and her inner circle, we’ve put together a comprehensive, chronological glossary of all these famous (and...

If Julia Garner’s accent in Inventing Anna sounds unusual to you — you’re not alone.
In the upcoming Shondaland Netflix series, the Ozark alum stars as the titular Anna Delvey, a charismatic entrepreneur or con artist (depending on who you ask) who convinces many of New York’s power players that she was a German heiress worthy of their financial support... to the tune of millions of dollars. Delvey’s accent — a hodgepodge of Russian, German and American inflections — is as complicated and muddled as her past.
“People are like, ‘This accent is crazy. Is this what she sounds like?’ They can't believe it,” Garner tells Tudum. “But at the same time, I want everybody to just Google how she sounds. I wouldn't allow myself to just go on screen and do a half accent. I’m a perfectionist.”
Garner says nailing Delvey's accent is the key to nailing the character.

If you're at all familiar with Marvel's First Family, then you'll know they've had to stop Galactus from consuming Earth on countless occasions. However, in Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four, it appears the World-Eater will have a very different reason for visiting the planet.
Undeterred by Disney and Marvel taking legal action to discover their identity, scooper @CanWeGetToast has shared a rumour today claiming that Galactus comes to Earth in search of Franklin Richards (who is reportedly "born in space").
The son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm, Franklin is an incredibly powerful mutant with the ability to create new realities and even rewrite his own.
He has a complicated history with Galactus which has included him actually taking the villain's place in the "Earth X" reality and making the big bad his Herald back on Earth-616 to fend off a Celestial attack. We don't know which comics The Fantastic Four is pulling inspiration from,...

After first being announced at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2019, The Fantastic Four is now just over a year away from arriving in theaters.
Marvel Studios has assembled one of its best casts to date for the reboot, making it clear they're taking Marvel's First Family seriously after 20th Century Fox's disappointing take on the team.
Now, in the wake of Disney CEO Bob Iger saying Marvel Studios will release only three movies a year moving forward, there are concerns The Fantastic Four could be delayed.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, shooting will begin at the end of July. With a release date of July 25, 2025, Marvel Studios will have only a year to get this thing finished and in theaters. It's doable, but when each character requires a great deal of visual effects work, we can't help wondering whether The Fantastic Four could take Blade's spot in November.
This is just speculation,...

The idyllic countryside in the South of France is all that the veteran Oscar-nominee John Malkovich needs to be content in life. But Hollywood has other plans for the eccentric star, especially when it comes to Sony, Marvel, and Spider-Man. The interlinked fate of these 3 problematic entities has not only become a troublesome hurdle for the studios but poses a great risk to the future of the IP.
However, with the arrival of billion-dollar contracts and deafening audience excitement, Sony and Marvel signed a treatise to secure and exploit Spider-Man to their mutual benefit. MCU’s Spider-Man trilogy, Sony’s rebooted Spider-Man universe with Venom, Morbius, and Madame Web, and its animated Spider-Verse trilogy are a product of this shared dream.

Julia Garner is officially the new Silver Surfer. The Emmy-winning actress has been confirmed as Shalla-Bal, a different version of the popular character. Originally introduced in Silver Surfer #1 in August 1968, Shalla-Bal was the love interest of the original Silver Surfer, Norrin Radd. Despite being introduced over 50 years ago, her character has never been as relevant as Radd. Which is part of the big uproar over Marvel choosing to use Shalla-Bal over Radd. As of this writing, there’s no telling just how deep her role is. There are points when the Silver Surfer has been a hero, so

The upcoming reboot of Marvel’s The Fantastic Four has just added actor Ralph Ineson as one of the team’s iconic villains. The former Harry Potter and Game of Thrones star is set to play Galactus, a villain who is known as the eater of worlds. While many assume that Doctor Doom is the main villain, it appears that they are going in a different direction.
The last time Galactus appeared on film was in the 2007 film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, a sequel to the 2005 iteration of the team. In that version, Galactus was more of a shapeless entity instead of a planet-sized being like the Celestials.
Galactus being added to the film shouldn’t come as a surprise as it was revealed that Silver Surfer would appear in the film, but not without controversy, as it is a different version of the character and will be played by Julia Garner.

Before the official announcement, the cast of ‘The Fantastic Four’ reboot was widely speculated. Recently, it was confirmed that Pedro Pascal would play Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, aka The Thing.
However, details about the villains and supporting characters were kept secret for a longer time. It was only recently disclosed that Julia Garner would portray MCU’s version of Silver Surfer, Shalla-Bal, with Ralph Ineson taking on the role of Galactus. Additionally, Paul Walter Hauser’s role remains undisclosed, and Deadline reported John Malkovich’s casting in a yet-to-be-revealed character.
We could endlessly ponder who he might portray, given the wealth of characters and villains in The Fantastic Four comics canon. Yet, considering prior rumors and leaks tied to the film, certain roles appear more plausible than others.

The cast of ‘The Fantastic Four’ reboot was pretty much known even before it was confirmed. Several weeks ago we got a confirmation that Pedro Pascal would be playing Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby would be playing Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn would be playing Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach would be portraying Ben Grimm aka The Thing.
The casting of the villains and supporting characters has been kept under wraps much longer, it was only recently confirmed that Julia Garner will be portraying MCU’s version of Silver Surfer, Shalla-Bal, with Ralph Ineson portraying Galactus. Paul Walter Hauser was cast in an undisclosed role and recently, Deadline reported that John Malkovich was likewise cast in a so-far secret role.
Now we can speculate forever on who he could be playing since The Fantastic Four canon is one of the richest in the comics, featuring plenty of supporting characters and notable villains.

The First Family of Marvel Comics has company. With a summer start date in London, “Fantastic Four,” the essential comic book IP which has yet to be integrated into the MCU, has announced new cast members that will join Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm (later Sue Storm-Richards), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (the Ever-Lovin’ Blue-Eyed Thing).
Giving them cosmic grief will be Ralph Ineson as Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds. Ineson has a slew of solid smaller roles in film and television—from “Game of Thrones” to “Peaky Blinders” to “Chernobyl,” and has worked with Mike Leigh in “Another Year,” Steven Spielberg in “Ready Player One,” Joel and Ethan Coen in “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” and played the Death Eater Amycus Carrow in three “Harry Potter” films. He’s currently shooting Guillermo Del Toro’s “Frankenstein.”
