    UPDATED: Regé-Jean Page NOT in ‘Secret Invasion’

    UPDATED: Disney has since sent out a new press release stating Page is not in Secret Invasion.

    Ever since appearing in the first season of Netflix’s hit series, Bridgerton, Regé-Jean Page has seen his star rise exponentially. Along with starring in the recently released The Gray Man, the actor is also set to appear in Dungeons & Dragons alongside Chris Pine. And now we also know he’ll soon be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    While the actor’s name was mentioned in a list of actors being eyed by Marvel Studios, Page was never actually rumored to be in any particular project. A press release sent by Disney following Marvel Studios’ Hall H presentation, however, has confirmed Page will appear in the Disney+ series, Secret Invasion. Details surrounding his character are unknown, but he’ll star alongside the previously announced Cobie Smulders, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Emilia Clarke and Olivia Colman.

    Secret Invasion is described as a crossover event series that showcases a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating Earth for years.

    Secret Invasion will hit Disney+ sometime in Spring 2023.

    While all eyes have been on the reveal of Tenoch Huerta’s Namor, there was one other first look at a Marvel Cinematic Universe character. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever‘s trailer gave us a first look at Ironheart a.k.a. Riri Williams. Dominique Thorne will take on the role of the character before getting her own spinoff series on Disney+. It’s fitting that the first image we see of her is also reminiscent of Iron Man hammering away at his suit. Perhaps she’s making her own to prepare for a battle.

    SDCC: Marvel Studios Unveils First Trailer for ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’

    Marvel Studios has finally unveiled the first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

    While filming on the sequel might’ve wrapped in March, the studio has been rather tight-lipped regarding the film. In fact, outside of casting news from the trades and a few leaked product images, not much has been known about Wakanda Forever. Thankfully, the studio has finally given fans an official first look at the highly-anticipated film.

    Following the unfortunate passing of Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman in 2020, many have questioned how Marvel Studios would approach the follow-up to the billion dollar first installment. It was expected that Letitia Wright‘s Shuri would take up the mantle of Black Panther, which looks to be the case by the trailer. While it remains unclear how Boseman’s T’Challa is written off, the film is expected to be in honor of the late actor.

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was directed by Ryan Coogler from a script he co-wrote with Joe Robert Cole. It stars Wright, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Michaela Coel, and Tenoch Huerta. Dominique Thorne also makes her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as Ironheart in the film. Wakanda Forever hits theaters on Nov. 11, 2022.

    San Diego Comic-Con is giving us the long-awaited look at what the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While they haven’t given away all their cards with D23 and Disney+ Day on the horizon, we still got a glimpse at some of their upcoming projects. As it turns out, fans lucky enough to attend Marvel Studios’ Hall H presentation also got a tease of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

    The third entry continues not only where we left off with the team in Avengers: Endgame as well as Thor: Love and Thunder. James Gunn takes back his director seat to tell the final story of the current team, which consists of Star-Lord, Nebula, Drax, Mantis, Groot, and Rocket. While the footage is not being released online just yet, thanks to Twitter, we were able to get a good idea of what the footage contained.

    The trailer shown to the audience was set to The Flaming Lips‘ “Do You Realize?” and set up what is being described as a doomed love story. The footage not only showed the first look at Will Poulter as Adam Warlock, but it also gave fans a look at the High Evolutionary and baby Rocket. The trailer also confirmed that Chukwudi Iwuji will portray the High Evolutionary in the film. The actor also later took to the aisles of Hall H in full costume to join the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy cast on stage.

    Fans described the footage as very emotional, showing a reunion between Peter and Gamora, who is now leading the Ravagers. But it also hinted at Rocket’s origins, who Gunn described as having one of the saddest stories of the bunch.
