The story of World War Hulk focuses on Hulk coming back to Earth looking for revenge against his friends in the hero community who tried to exile him to the cosmos.## While there is still a long way for Mark Ruffalo to get his solo Hulk movie, he will be reprising his role in the upcoming Disney+ series "She-Hulk", which stars Tatiana Maslany in the title role with Tim Roth reprising his "The Incredible Hulk" role as Abomination.

He said that the actual shooting will take some more time to take off. ## Chris is on set and we're rehearsing and doing camera tests and stuff - so it's his "first day" like it was my "first day" many months ago - but actual shooting is a while off.

The Marvels Director Blames Captain America For Thanos Snap In Avengers: Infinity War

Los Angeles, October 20 - The "Captain Marvel" sequel "The Marvels" director Nia DaCosta has a different take on the events of Thanos causing half of life in the universe to dust out of existence in Avengers: Infinity War by just a Snap. While the Marvel fans found Thanos responsible for "The Snap", "The Marvels" director explains Captain America may actually be at fault. ## Speaking to Inverse (via comicbook), Nia DaCosta explains how Captin America was at fault when the time came to decide between saving Vision or sacrificing an entire universe to Thanos, the Mad Titan. ## "Something I like to say a bit flippantly about Captain America is that the Snap is all his fault because he was trying to do his best, trying to do the right thing", the director told. "There is a world in which he's a villain because, at the end of the day, he should have just sacrificed Vision (to save the universe)".## "He chose one robot's life, albeit a sentient one, over literally the entire universe. There's a sort of anti-hero in that if you want to look at it through that lens. People would say I'm crazy for thinking that way, but there's something connected to the journey of the anti-hero and the hero", she added.## In Avengers: Infinity War, Vision had offered to sacrifice himself and mind stone to keep Thanos away from adding it to his Infinity Gauntlet. However, Steve Rogers aka Captain America denied his proposal by famously saying that the Avengers weren't in the business of trading lives. He then teamed up with Black Panther in Wakanda for one last stand against the invading aliens, only to lose as Thanos did kill Vision to claim the Mind Stone. ## Stay tuned...

Marvel President Kevin Feige Explains The Reason Behind Postponement Of Phase 4 Movies

Los Angeles, October 19 - In a major development, Marvel Studios and Disney postponed the entire Phase 4 schedule of the MCU films, except Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, on Monday (October 18). While the reason behind this move wasn't explained at the time of postponement, many wonders if Disney and Marvel still fear the covid-19 pandemic. ## However, that is not the case this time around as Marvel Studios' president Kevin Feige has explained the actual and genuine reason why the studio has reshuffled its Phase 4 schedule, starting with "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness". ## Speaking to Variety's Marc Malkin at Monday's world premiere of Eternals, Feige told, "It's production shifts and changes, and because we have so many slots, we can just shift slots.## "All the Marvel slots are the same, we're just shifting when they're coming out. And yes, Strange [in the Multiverse of Madness] has moved six weeks, so instead of there being three months between Marvel movies, there will be five months between Marvel movies and I think we can all handle that", Feige added.## "It's production shifts and changes, and because we have so many slots, we can just shift slots," Kevin Feige says of the schedule changes that altered #DoctorStrange2's release date. https://t.co/F6rov2HB1g pic.twitter.com/ZaTmTKToWk— Variety (@Variety) October 19, 2021 ## Meanwhile, Marvel Studios' Disney release, "Eternals" is scheduled to debut in worldwide theaters on November 5.

Marvel Studios Postpones Doctor Strange 2, Thor 4, Black Panther 2, The Marvels, And More

Los Angeles, October 18 - Marvel Studios' Phase 4 movies are going to be delayed again. While "Eternals" is still arriving on November 5, Disney and Marvel have postponed the releases of the upcoming films, starting with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness moving from March 25, 2022, to May 5, 2022.## Every Marvel / Disney's film has taken the release date of the next Marvel film. "Doctor Strange 2" takes the slot of "Thor: Love And Thunder", which has been pushed from May 5, 2022, to July 8, 2022, while Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has shifted from that July date to November 11, 2022.## Brie Larson's "Captain Marvel" sequel, "The Marvels", which was supposed to release on November 11, 2022, will now be debuting on February 17, 2023, while Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania has moved from February 2023 to July 28, 2023.## The only Disney-released MCU movie to stick where it was is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, which will still be released on May 5, 2023. Meanwhile, Disney has once again pushed the untitled "Indiana Jones" movie to June 30, 2023, from the previously dated July 29, 2022. ## Disney has also moved the entire schedule of the untitled MCU films. One of those on July 28, 2023, is now the release date for the new Ant-Man movie, while the other on October 6, 2023, has not been replaced by anything.## It's still unclear why Disney has moved the release of MCU films as its recently released "Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings" performed very well at the box office and earned $414 million worldwide so far. Disney, however, will still be releasing James Cameron's "Avatar 2" on December 16, 2022. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, October 17 - Robert Pattinson-led "The Batman" trailer was launched on Saturday (October 16) during DC Fandom, and believe us, it is going to make audiences go nuts in movie theaters. There was already a lot of hype and expectations from this DC film, and the new trailer only has raised those expectations. ## The new trailer of Matt Reeves-directed "The Batman" shows the glimpse of Zoë Kravitz as new Catwoman and Colin Farrell as Penguin.

It promises a visually stunning experience for the audience and the darkest cinematic outing yet for the Caped Crusader, even when compared to Christopher Nolan's gritty "Dark Knight" trilogy. ## The trailer begins with the arrest of the Riddler, played by Paul Dano, who is clearly the main antagonist driving "The Batman" story, as a serial killer who leaves cryptic clues with his victims and holds a special fixation on Batman. It also gave a broader look at Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman.

Two Time Academy Award Winner, Michael Caine To Retire From Acting After Best Sellers

Los Angeles, October 16 - Michael Caine, a British actor, and two-time Academy Award winner, is putting a brake on his legendary 70-year old film career. The 88-year old said in an interview broadcast Friday that the newly-released "Best Sellers" is the last film he has acted. ## "Because I haven't worked for two years, and I have a spine problem which affects my legs so I can't walk very well, so...", he told BBC radio host Simon Mayo. "And I also wrote a book, a couple of books, which were published and were successful, so I'm now not an actor, I'm a writer, which is lovely because as an actor you have to get up at half-past six in the morning and go to the studio. As a writer, you can start writing without leaving the bed". ## Caine, in his decades-long film and tv career, worked over 170 films including "The Dark Knight" trilogy. He got nominated for Oscars six times and went on to win on two occasions for roles in 1986's "Hannah and Her Sisters" and 1999's "The Cider House Rules". ## The frequent collaborator of Nolan's film, Caine most recently appeared opposite John David Washington and Robert Pattinson in the Nolan directed Tenet and Martin Owen's Twist. When asked if the Aubrey Plaza co-starring Best Sellers is his final film, Caine answered, "I think it would be".## "I don't have any — there haven't been any offers, obviously, for two years, because nobody's been making any movies I'd want to do", Caine said of the COVID-19 pandemic. "But also, I'm 88. There's not exactly scripts pouring out with a leading man who's 88, you know?".## The veteran actor turned author has penned multiple biographies and said he wrote his fictional debut, a thriller titled "If You Don't Want To Die", during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.## Stay tuned...
