Kevin Feige says iconic Marvel characters, like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, will eventually be recast and pointed out that other major film franchises have done the same: “Amy Pascal and David Heyman are now searching for a new James Bond. David [Corenswet], the new Superman —…

Excellent acceleration on @FantasticFour sales in the last 24 hours. Starts out near 90% positive on @RottenTomatoes . Looking at a $135m+ opening weekend and won't be shocked if it goes higher as positive word of mouth spreads. @MarvelStudios and @DisneyStudios rolling.

No doubt — the High Voltage mode in #MarvelSnap is the coolest add to this game in awhile. Hope it sticks around.

The MCU reset for after Doomsday/Secret Wars is giving you an off-ramp if you’re tired of the franchise.
I’m guessing the MCU reset will be more focused for today’s younger generations instead of the millennials who grew up with the Phases 1-3. 1-3 had its audience. 4-6 was a transition. 7-9 will be for today’s high schoolers the way 1-3 served us.
