Playing a Marvel hero presents its own set of difficulties. These expectations put immense pressure on the actors to focus more on their physique as well as the storyline of the movie. Adding to this is Paul Rud, whose stringent diet for Ant-Man 3 demonstrated his dedication to the role.

When compared to the extraordinarily high standards of the MCU, the film fell short of showcasing its brilliance on screen. While the fans might have not liked the superhero movie to that extent, the terrible diet and exercise routine that Rudd went through to prepare for his character proved that no one could despise him.

On Friday, the first teaser trailer for ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ was released, and the first reactions were – extremely polarizing. Judging by the first reactions to the trailer, fans either love it or hate it and the reasons are many. Fans object to Sam Wilson taking over the mantle of ‘Captain America.’ They object to Sabra being in the movie, due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
However, most fans were glad to see Thaddeus Ross’ Red Hulk in the trailer. The scene was brief but showcased Red Goliath in action. But, just like with the trailer itself, fans either considered the CGI in the scene horrible or excellent.
Now it’s no secret that the MCU somewhat dropped the ball on the CGI, as both ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ and ‘The Marvels,’ two out of three of last year’s movies, proved to have some...

Among all the upcoming Marvel projects, one that has captured everyone’s attention and anticipation is Avengers 5. However, the film, initially known as The Kang Dynasty, has faced significant challenges. Recent updates have taken a troubling turn, as they suggest Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness screenwriter, Michael Waldron who was set to write the script, has departed from the project.

With no director, no official title, and now no writer, concerns among fans are mounting. The current state of development is far from reassuring for the future of the movie.
Michael Waldron Is Reportedly No Longer Attached to Avengers 5!
Marvel’s knack for swapping directors and writers might seem like their signature style at this point, but the aftermath can be seen in some strange edits and questionable dialogue choices in the films.

Loki and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star Jonathan Majors allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, during a March 2023 domestic dispute.
She claimed that she'd seen a text message from another woman on his phone, prompting the former MCU actor to assault her as he attempted to retrieve the device. Majors was later found guilty and is now attempting to return to acting, despite a New York Times story which saw two other women allege that the actor had physically and emotionally abused them.
Since their romance was first made public last May, Shazam! and Shazam! Fury of the Gods star Meagan Good has remained by Majors' side and publicly supported him.
Talking to People, the actress broke her silence on a relationship which has been a big talking point in the tabloids over the past year or so.

Jim Carrey has essayed a slew of iconic roles in his career as an actor. Known for his classic comic timing and panache for pulling his face into weird expressions, the actor seemed tailor-made for the role of Big Head, Dark Horse Comics’ most well-known supervillain. However, what really seems like a feat that Big Head would totally pull, the character was almost set to make his MCU debut not long before Avengers: Endgame.

In the epic new Peacock show Those About To Die, Dimitri Leonidas plays Scorpus, one of Rome’s top charioteers, and Gabriella Pession plays Antonia, a Patrician pulling many strings in this criminal underworld of ancient Rome.
We at FandomWire got to speak with Leonidas and Pession about their roles in Those About To Die, what the show has to say about ancient Rome, and filming the show using virtual production technology (like we’d seen in The Mandalorian and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania). Check out the full interview here:

The time for debates and dissent around Superhero Fatigue is over and it’s high time the fans admitted that the global symptom is trying to tell us something. Steve Carell’s latest animated dooblydoo, Despicable Me 4 has just shattered the box office expectations of 2024 by a mile and a half, and Marvel is yet to impress its viewers with a half-decent movie worthy of its reputation.

With one section of Marvel Studios invested in bludgeoning our senses to the point of lackluster numbness and the other sections working overtime to bring more than a dozen different series of unique and exotic flavors, it is safe to say that neither film nor streaming is doing anything to help Kevin Feige earn points with the audience right now.

A trio of new international posters for Deadpool and Wolverine have been released, and they spotlight Wade Wilson and Logan in various Thailand-inspired outfits and scenarios.
The Muay Thai artwork features Deadpool in a modified version of his costume that somewhat resembles his fellow Marvel Comics hero, Iron Fist.
The latest box office estimates were recently shared online, and The Merc With a Mouth's MCU debut is expected to take in at least $160 million to $165 million domestically over the July 26-28 weekend. This would not only give the film the best opening of 2024 so far, but the biggest launch ever for an R-rated title - a record still held by the first Deadpool movie, which amassed $133.7 million domestically when it hit theaters back in 2016.
The prospect of seeing Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson joining forces with Hugh Jackman's Logan is clearly a huge draw, which was already evident from ticket sale numbers.

Sony Pictures has debuted the brand new trailer for Afraid, an upcoming sci-fi horror film from Academy Award-nominated writer/director Chris Weitz (Operation Finale; About a Boy; American Pie) that introduces a whole new kind of terror to the world with Aia, who is basically a Siri-like family assistant that takes her job way, way too seriously.
The film's synopsis reveals, "Curtis (John Cho) and his family are selected to test a revolutionary new home device: a digital family assistant called Aia. Taking smart home to the next level, once the unit and all its sensors and cameras are installed in their home, Aia seems able to do it all. She learns the family's behaviors and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure nothing – and no one – gets in her family’s way."

After a decade of domination starting with 2008’s Iron Man upto 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, Marvel and the MCU’s fortunes dwindled a little bit in the 5th Phase. With films like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels not finding favor with audiences and critics, and series like Secret Invasion sinking without a trace, a lot is riding on the franchise to resurrect itself in future projects.

Avengers 5 currently has no villain. Initially, the film was supposed to feature Kang the Conqueror, but that has since been changed since Jonathan Majors was fired from the studio. Rumors have been circulating as to who could be the next villain that the Avengers face and Hercules seems to be a likely candidate for that.
Brett Goldstein as Hercules in Thor: Love and Thunder (image credit: Marvel)
Hercules, played by Brett Goldstein was introduced in the MCU in the mid-credit scene of Thor: Love and Thunder, and was explicitly commanded by his father, Zeus (Russell Crowe) to eliminate Thor. Given that Chris Hemsworth is keen on a tonal shift in the next Thor film, and that seemingly two unrelated storylines have been set up by the two end credit scenes of Thor Love and Thunder, using Hercules as a villain for Avengers 5 can solve multiple problems at once.

Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine is rectifying one mistake that the recent Marvel movies have been making. Shawn Levy, the director of the film, has promised that Deadpool 3 will follow along the paths of earlier Marvel movies, where character-driven plots were given more importance.

Ryan Reynolds starrer Deadpool & Wolverine is hard at work promoting the upcoming MCU movie. Being the only movie to premiere this year from Marvel Studios, they are leaving no stones unturned in creating as much hype for it as possible. The movie also stars Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine, who reprised the fan-favorite role after his character died in 2017’s Logan.

Marvel has not been coping very well with the sudden loss of direction after Phase Three and Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are ready to fix that with the launch of Deadpool & Wolverine. But with the premiere of the superhero movie also comes a baggage full of hard truths and shocking revelations.

Marvel had a rough year in 2023. Many of its properties underperformed, and they lost their big villain due to Jonathan Majors being fired. Looking forward to their upcoming slate, comic fans have been excited about some of the studio’s projects over the next few years. Will these films help Marvel regain control? The upcoming Thunderbolts film has been one that fanboys have been hoping to see since the MCU started. With some recent news about the property coming up, it seems like the right time to break down what we know about the production.
Who Are The Thunderbolts?
The team first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1997 in an issue of The Incredible Hulk. They seemed to be a new group of superheroes that had arrived on the scene and gained acclaim very quickly. The reader was informed that the group was actually a group of supervillains led by Baron Zemo.

Lionsgate has released the first trailer and poster for “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,” a festive comedy set to hit theaters on November 8, 2024. Directed by Dallas Jenkins, creator of the popular series “The Chosen,” this adaptation of Barbara Robinson’s beloved children’s novel promises to bring small-town charm and holiday spirit to audiences nationwide.
The film follows the antics of the Herdman children – infamously known as the worst kids in town – as they unexpectedly take over their local church’s Christmas pageant. This chaotic takeover sets the stage for a heartwarming journey that may reveal the true meaning of Christmas to a bewildered community.
The star-studded cast includes Judy Greer, Pete Holmes, Elizabeth Tabish (“The Chosen”), and Lauren Graham. Graham’s involvement is particularly noteworthy, given her iconic status as Lorelai Gilmore in the enduringly popular “Gilmore Girls” series.

Fresh from appearing as the voice behind the iconic lazy, orange cat in The Garfield Movie, Chris Pratt opened up about his character and his opinion on the influence of his character.

Actor Nathan Fillion has welcomed a few guest stars on his television show The Rookie. This included a few former Firefly cast members as well.

Fillion has never forgotten his Firefly family, and seems more than willing to collaborate with them whenever the opportunity presents itself. In the first season of his hit show, Fillion saw himself acting alongside Firefly co-star Alan Tudyk. Tudyk made his appearance as a crime scene cleaner on the show. And as excited as Fillion might’ve been to work with Tudyk again, they were supposed to originally reunite on another hit TV show.
“I didn’t even have to suggest Alan Tudyk. We were dying to get him on Castle when Alexi and I were back on Castle, and it just didn’t work out.

Jeremy Renner graces the July/August cover of Men’s Health magazine, where he opened up about the overwhelming support he received from his Marvel Cinematic Universe co-stars following his near-death snow plow accident at the start of 2023. For instance, Falcon actor Anthony Mackie visited Renner in the hospital just days after the accident even though Renner was still on life support and could only see out of his right eye. Iron Man icon Robert Downey Jr. would connect with Renner over FaceTime constantly when he was in the hospital.
“Oh, fuck yeah, it’s a real thing — it’s not just for Instagram. We fuckin’ hate that shit,” Renner said about the love that exists between the Avengers actors. “We have a family chat and have for a long time.

When The Dark Knight Rises revealed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character, John Blake, was actually named Robin, it sparked debate as to whether or not he was actually Robin or if it was just an homage to the sidekick. Adding to this, if he was indeed going to develop into the Robin we all know – or at least the Christopher Nolan version – could Gordon-Levitt get his own spin-off? Now, a dozen years after The Dark Knight Rises was released, the actor is confirming whether or not there were ever plans to expand the universe.
Speaking with Inverse, Joseph Gordon-Levitt put those Robin rumors to rest, saying, “Nolan was making a trilogy. He never wanted to make any more movies. This was an ending to his trilogy.” He also noted that there is an entirely different mentality within the superhero movie world now than there was in 2012. “It’s funny, we...

In a financial statement published nearly nine months in arrears, the Hong Kong Disneyland theme park revealed that its revenues in the year to September 2023 had more than doubled and that its losses had been slashed.
The park, which is a joint venture between the Hong Kong government and the Walt Disney Company, with the government owning a majority stake, saw revenue between October 2022 and September 2023 climb by 156% to Hk$5.7 billion ($731 million) as total attendance grew by 87% to 6.4 million.
Earnings before interest, taxation and depreciation (Ebitda) tripled to Hk$924 million ($118 million) and net losses tumbled by 83% to HK356 million ($45.6 million).
Operators said that the park has been profitable since summer 2023 and that after the end of the financial year the park has continued to perform well. It said that the January-March 2024 quarter has delivered record revenue, Ebitda and net earnings, but did not quantify the statement.

In the wake of increasingly negative reviews and lower-than-expected box office hauls, Marvel Studios has gone back to the drawing board with several projects. The idea? To start delivering quality over quantity again.
Daredevil: Born Again has already been creatively overhauled but it's time for Marvel Studios to reevaluate its approach to specific characters as qwell. They've done it before - the God of Thunder in Thor: Ragnarok for example - and the heroes listed here are all in desperate need of the same treatment.
From MCU veterans to newer additions to this shared world and characters who have simply been taken in the wrong direction, this lot would benefit greatly from a soft reboot. In some instances, a compete fresh start may even be needed!

21 years ago, 20th Century Fox released Daredevil, where Ben Affleck donned the red suit to face off against icons like Michael Clarke Duncan as the formidable Kingpin and Colin Farrell’s menacing Bullseye, with Jon Favreau delivering heart as the loyal Foggy. Despite a shaky reception from critics & a modest box office triumph of $179 million, which set the stage for Jennifer Garner’s subsequent solo venture Elektra, Daredevil remains a remarkable topic of discussion.

But did you know that in 2004, those bitter opinions began to turn with the release of a grittier, R-rated director’s cut? This version injected a new lease of life into the franchise, earning nods for its balanced narrative and garnering a more positive critical response, with a striking improvement acknowledged by fans and pundits alike. So much so that admirers are still raving about the 2003 film’s revised cut.

Lowest Paid MCU Stars Ranked By Paycheck. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has delivered some of the highest-grossing films in recent history, with total worldwide box office revenue of $29.55 billion. It’s safe to say MCU actors have profited significantly from the franchise, with three movies ranked among the top ten highest-grossing films of all time.
While some actors have made out like bandits, securing a huge payday, others were less fortunate. While Robert Downey Junior and Gwyneth Paltrow secured a massive payday for their roles, the new Captain America Anthony Mackie and Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman were paid significantly less than their co-stars, leading multiple successful movies in the franchise.
Given the success of the franchise, it might be a surprise that some of the actors on their payroll received the lowest paychecks. Below, we have compiled a list of the lowest-paid MCU actors based...

Peyton Reed's 2018 film "Ant-Man and the Wasp" was released in the wake of "Avengers: Infinity War," one of the major team-up movies that occasionally punctuates the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "Wasp" served, some have said, as a palate cleanser after the major, widely-seen event film, trying to keep the McU's mood light. This ethos was also employed with Reed's original "Ant-Man" from 2015, which followed "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
"Wasp" took place concurrently with the events of "Infinity War" and was a brisk, comedic heist movie featuring a very human villain played by Walton Goggins. Ant-Man, aka Scott Lang, (Paul Rudd) was under house arrest, which explains why he wasn't present for the big Thanos fight in "Infinity War." The Wasp, aka Hope van Dyne (née Pym), (Evangeline Lilly) and her father Hank (Michael Douglas) have, meanwhile, built a massive, high-tech shrinking tunnel which will serve as an entrance to the Quantum Realm,...

Jonathan Majors was once on track to become Hollywood's next big thing, only for that to be derailed when he was convicted of domestic assault and harassment following an altercation with his then-girlfriend.
A New York judge decided that the Loki and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star must complete a 52-week, in-person program in Los Angeles, but whether his career can ever rebound is another matter altogether.
He was recently cast in Martin Villeneuve's Merciless and we've heard rumblings that Magazine Dreams (which many believed would secure him an Oscar) will finally secure a release this summer. And, yesterday evening, Majors was honoured with the "Perseverance Award" at the annual Impact Awards.
"I'm imperfect. I have shortcomings - I acknowledge them," the actor said while fighting back tears in a lengthy acceptance speech which you can watch below. "Perseverance means what? Perseverance means persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay.

Jonathan Majors is one of the best stars of this generation, and critics have immensely praised him for his stellar performances in his films. The actor was set to become the villain in Phase 5 and Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after making his debut in Loki Season 1 as He Who Remains. He also gave a brief cameo as Kang The Conqueror in Ant-Man 3.

However, as he made his official debut as the villain in Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, fans were not blown away by his performance as everyone had hoped, because of a ton of reasons. Later, his life was turned upside down as he was convicted of assault and harassment on his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.

Jonathan Majors has landed his first film role following his much-publicized trial and misdemeanor conviction. The actor will star in the supernatural revenge thriller Merciless from filmmaker Martin Villeneuve, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The story, which is set for a fall shoot, centers on a CIA interrogator who is forced to defeat a malevolent force that has overtaken the woman he loves. Frank Hannah penned the screenplay.
Christopher Tuffin, who produced box office success story Sound of Freedom, will produce. Kevin Townsend and Kevin DeWalt will also produce, with Amanda Delaplaine, Chris Ochs, Andrew Bates and Ben DeWalt exec producing.
At the top of the year, Creed star Majors was found guilty of one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment. He was acquitted of two other counts of assault and aggravated harassment. The trail stemmed from a March 2023 incident between the actor and his ex-partner Grace Jabbari.

La película comenzará su rodaje este verano.
De acuerdo con Deadline, Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Bobby Cannavale y Andrew Scott protagonizarán la nueva película del aclamado director Richard Linklater (“Hit Man”), “Blue Moon”, que comenzará su rodaje este verano en Dublín, Irlanda.

La película se desarrollará principalmente en el restaurante Sardi’s el día 31 de marzo de 1943, que fue la noche del estreno de ¡Oklahoma!, que supuso la primera colaboración de Rodgers con Oscar Hammerstein II como sustituto de Hart.
Linklater ha dicho «Robert, Ethan y yo hemos estado desarrollando esta historia durante más de una década y estamos emocionados y agradecidos de que haya llegado el momento de darle vida.»

Scottish actor and marital artist Ray Park began his film career as a stunt double for actors Robin Shou and James Remar in the 1997 video game adaptation "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation." He played some other characters too, although only in a background capacity; his face could not be seen. 1999 saw Park's career explode, however, as he played the demonic Darth Maul in George Lucas' supra-blockbuster "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace." At the time, critics were mixed on "The Phantom Menace," but many "Star Wars" fanboys agreed that Darth Maul was really, really cool. He didn't speak much — and when he did, he was voiced by Peter Serafinowicz — but his double-sided lightsaber, black cloak, stoic demeanor, and striking facial markings made Maul one of the most memorable parts of an otherwise forgettable film.
Later in 1999, Park also served as the body/fight double for the Headless Horseman in Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow,...

It is safe to say that Phase 5 of the MCU has not been the best ride for the Marvel franchise. With Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Secret Invasion, and The Marvels failing to make an impact with fans, Marvel seemed to be looking down the barrel in more ways than one. With a lot riding on Kevin Feige to resurrect the MCU, the franchise head has now gone down a tried and tested path to achieve success.

In the latest information coming in, Feige seems to have found the perfect solution to do damage control by roping in none other than Joe and Anthony Russo, popularly known together as the Russo Brothers. The duo who gave Marvel two huge blockbusters Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, will step in as producers for one massive project which netizens are seeing as an excellent move.

Excitement is at an all-time high as in just a little over a month, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will be returning to their iconic roles in Deadpool 3 a.k.a. Deadpool & Wolverine. Anyone who has been far from the superhero genre for the longest time will vouch that things have been a little dull lately and that superhero fatigue exists even in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand, those looking to further immerse themselves into the superhero world might find watching the films in chronological, or timeline order versus release order helpful.
In order of release, the films came out in phases. The Infinity Saga has three phases. Phase one consists of Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers. Phase 2 contains Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man. Phase Three contains Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has always had a bit of a boys' club vibe. The first official phase of the franchise that built up to "The Avengers" was spearheaded by Tony Stark's hard-partying ladies' man Tony Stark, while the most significant female members of the MCU to date have always been written as, at best, eye-rolling foils forced to acknowledge that most of their male colleagues are overgrown children who come through in the clutch when resolving a crisis that is partially of their own making.
This isn't much of a departure from the almost exclusively male-drawn and -written comic books of the 1960s-1980s that inspired the mostly male-directed MCU films. Aside from a boy scout like Steve Rogers (aka Captain America) or a cerebral conjuror like Doctor Strange, these guys have a good time off the clock. In a way, they have a kind of frat boy mentality.

China’s Film Bureau has approved a July 26 release for Disney/Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine, arguably one of the most anticipated movies of the year globally. Marvel’s Weibo account announced the dating this morning Beijing time which Disney has confirmed. The release is day-and-date with the U.S. and marks the first time the Merc with a Mouth is going to China in step with the rest of the world. (Scroll below for a look at the new poster.)
The first Deadpool did not release in China while Deadpool 2, completely refashioned as Once Upon a Deadpool with new scenes to create a PG-13 version, was released there in early 2019, many months after the original DP2 had its run elsewhere. It went on to do about $40M in the market at today’s rates.

While 2023 was a disappointing year for superhero flicks, as most of them bombed at the box office, there were two outliers, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. In the latter’s case, being a follow-up to arguably the best superhero film of the last decade, Across the Spider-Verse, had some huge shoes to fill, and fortunately, it didn’t disappoint.
But among its incredibly stacked roster of Spider-Man from all around the multiverse, the breakout star was Miguel O’Hara’s Spider-Man 2099, who is arguably a better Kang than Kang himself. Per rumors, the MCU once approached Sony to incorporate the character in the multiversal saga.

Whatever Marvel Studios originally had planned for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty (now known simply as Avengers 5) and Avengers: Secret Wars has likely changed greatly in the past year or two.
The negative response to Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania caught the studio off guard, leading to Jeff Loveness reportedly being fired as the next Avengers movie's writer. With that, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness scribe Michael Waldron took over writing duties on both projects.
The plan now may be to shift the spotlight away from Kang, though the villain is still expected to be a key part of the Multiverse Saga (albeit with a new actor playing him in place of Jonathan Majors).
Today, we have a bonkers rumour to share with you which claims that Marvel Studios wants to throw Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's Spider-Man 2099 into the mix!

We've heard various bits and pieces about Deadpool & Wolverine breaking minor ticket-selling records, but Marvel Studios' first R-Rated movie has finally hit box office tracking boards.
According to Deadline, six weeks ahead of the threequel's release, it's eyeing a massive $200 million - $239 million opening weekend. However, The Quorum (which monitors tracking) believes this is a "conservative" estimate.
As the trade rightly points out, an R-Rated movie has never opened to as much as $200 million before; in fact, the current record is held by the first Deadpool movie. In 2016, it debuted with $132.4 million, but Deadpool & Wolverine will almost certainly top that number.
That R-Rating is going to reduce the number of people who watch the movie in theaters, but the vast majority of chains allow children under 17 to watch titles with that rating providing they're accompanied by an adult who is above the age of 21.

"The gods started this war, now it's time to fight."
Netflix has released an exciting - and fairly gruesome - first teaser for Zack Snyder's adult animated Norse mythology series, Twilight of the Gods, which is set to premiere on the streaming service on September 19.
The promo is less than 40 second long, but it crams in quite a bit of bloody action, as a mortal warrior named Sigrid wages war against Thor and all of his fellow Asgardian gods.
"In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds, and great despair, Leif (Stuart Martin), a mortal king, is saved on the battlefield by Sigrid (Sylvia Hoeks), an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love," reads the new synopsis. "On their wedding night, Sigrid and Leif survive a wrath of terror from Thor (Pilou Asbæk), which sets them — and a crew of crusaders — on a merciless mission for vengeance,...

Jonathan Majors is all set to receive an award as the actor struggles to revive his career following his conviction in domestic abuse charges last year. He will be honored with a Perseverance Award at the upcoming Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards to be held on June 21 in Los Angeles. The Loki actor is up for an award that will recognize people who continue to aspire to inspire no matter what adversity they face.

Last December, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Loki star Jonathan Majors was found guilty on one count of intentional assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree by a New York jury.
That came after a March 2023 altercation with his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. In April, Majors was sentenced to a 52-week, in-person domestic violence intervention program; however, he's continued to maintain his innocence.
Majors and Jabbari met while working on the Marvel Studios movie (she was a movement coach). Between the aforementioned guilty verdict and other allegations of physical and emotional abuse, the actor's Hollywood career stalled as did his aspirations to become one of the world's biggest movie stars.
Between his Marvel work and other critically acclaimed performances, that's the track Majors was on and it's unclear whether he'll ever be able to regain that lost momentum...and whether he should be allowed to do so.

Even the once-indomitable Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t bulletproof to superhero fatigue, at least not anymore.
The MCU went from making cinematic behemoths to box-office failures, an unfortunate yet conspicuous development that has taken place in recent years. But what is being labeled as superhero fatigue – the supposed culprit behind the studio’s morbid flops – isn’t the actual root of the problem. And The Boys‘ Antony Starr has the perfect solution for giants like Marvel Studios to fix that.

Considering how Marvel went from being the most successful superhero brand to seeing miserable days at theatres, it might do Kevin Feige some good to take notes.

Portraying a superhero on-screen for the past five years, Antony Starr is well aware of the woeful state of some industry giants like the MCU suffering because audiences are less and less receptive to superhero films.

The sun may be setting on the Marvel empire but the tired old franchise might yet have a few tricks up its sleeves. Refusing to go down without a bang, the MCU has started to collect the debt from its past (and a few from the future). As a result, it’s finally time for Midnight Sons, the highly anticipated project to come to fruition after years of unfulfilled expectations and a grueling cinematic experience.
Midnight Sons [Credit: Marvel Comics]To Marvel’s credit, what the superhero vehicle lacks in quality, it more than makes up for in timing. After scarring people’s memories with movies like Thor: Love and Thunder and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the MCU seems to have shifted its gears back to neutral instead of driving in reverse. With Midnight Sons, the franchise can begin to heal its past mistakes and start anew.
