Kevin Feige :
>“Having 85, almost 90 years of comic book history, there’s so many stories yet to tell. We announced a very young, new cast for a property called X-Men the other day. And that’s great, because there’s been 10 great X-Men movies [but] there can be 100 more. There’s sagas, upon sagas, with these comics that haven’t been told yet. And that’s great because the stories that inspired me to want to make these kinds of movies haven’t been told yet. I’m quite excited about doing them”.

Paul Bettany :
>"For Vision, the stories have always felt new and fresh and like they’re evolving the whole time. And I would love to keep doing that for as long as there are new stories evolving".
>
>“This one is so weird and out of left field that it was such a pleasure to make. I'm really excited for people to see it".
>
>“I think the fans are going to really get excited. The show’s fantastic. It’s a big swing, and I think that Marvel always gets rewarded when it takes big swings. Terry Matalas, our showrunner, has done an amazing job”.
>
>“The way you find Vision at the beginning of this show is where we left him, which is he’s been given his memories by Red Vision, but he can’t attach any emotion to those memories. And so this is the first time you’re entirely in Vision’s point of view, and you literally get to see what it’s like inside Vision’s mind, which is super fun".
>
>Addressing the D23 audience, Bettany says : “It’s been an enormous joy playing the Vision as he’s evolved over the years. But this Vision is beginning to ask rather more complicated questions. What—or perhaps who—is he exactly?”
James Spader who play Ultron said : “Frankly, I can’t believe it took you so long to turn to me. Everyone knows Ultron has long been fascinated with humanity".
Robert Downey Jr. :
“It was really weird being the guy — everyone else is hanging out, they’re the good heroes, and I’m [in] this mask and this hood. I’m like, ‘They’re all on one side of the camera, and I guess they’re all mad at me or something.’ But I’ll say this : getting to know [Hayley Atwell] better, all of [mine and Chris Evans’] history, because you’re a legit dude. Because you don’t say yes because you can; it has to feel right. And I think that in Doomsday, what happens with this key relationship is so exciting and unexpected and beautiful. I will say Doom, for now, because I got to really observe what I’ve been missing the whole time, just everybody else”.
Interviewer : Leticia, is there anything you can tell us about Avengers: Doomsday and how big of a role you will play?
Letitia Wright : What I love about Avengers is that it really is an ensemble and you get your moments. We actually just dropped a trailer this morning, so if you haven't seen that yet, click on Instagram—cheeky plug, Leticia, right?—and that new trailer is there. And yeah, we all have an equal part in trying to take Doom down.
Interviewer : But I do want to say to you—I haven't said this to you because, you know, I'm such a Marvel fan—you are so fantastic in those films. The way you portray that character is so brilliant.
Letitia Wright : Thank you. I appreciate it because sometimes it doesn't feel like people see it. For you to say that has actually encouraged me a lot.
Kevin Feige :
>”When we made Brand New Day, we set out saying, 'Well, we'll never make more than No Way Home, never make it bigger than No Way Home. So, let's just go deeper and make it special.”
>
>”I have a memory, we were on set of No Way Home, which of course was about Tobey and Andrew and Tom, three Spider-Men together. How do you get bigger than three Spider-Men together? Well, sitting on a golf cart outside the set were Zendaya and Jacob [Batalon] and Tom. And it occurred to me, looking at those three, that that trio is as iconic as the three Spider-Men. And now Brand New Day has proved that."
Jake Schreier :
>"One of the great things about the comics is there is such a rich and broad history. That was one of the first things that Kevin and I talked about when I came in; they made many great movies in this world, and they've made so many great things. Let's find the things that haven't recently been done well. All these other corners of the universe…"
>
>"Digging back into those comics like 20 years, the whole Chris Claremont run, the newer Jonathan Hickman stuff. There are so many stories that are still untold, to honor and to reach into, and then to meet this cast and try to do something new, I think you always want to see something that reveres where it came from and then is still taking a new spin on where we want to go."
Suzy Bemba is being eyed to play Storm in the MCU.
Collider has learned that, after VisionQuest, Marvel Studios will be cutting back on live-action Disney+ shows. This excludes returning series like Daredevil: Born Again, an existing series with another season that has already wrapped filming, as well as potential miniseries that may be developed under the "Marvel Presents" and "Marvel Spotlight" banners.
Marvel continues to trust the steady hand of Brad Winderbaum, who has long been the Head of Marvel Studios Streaming and Animation divisions, but was also recently promoted to further oversee Comics and Franchise development. A move that arrived in May, just before a clear shift began to manifest in Marvel's future televised plans.
Tramell Tillman (GQ Interview)
Tramell Tillman :
>“It was a little frustrating, because everything was shrouded in secrecy. So I wasn’t even sure specifically how the character would fit into the world of the movie, and I’m pretty sure they had to play their cards very close to the chest because they weren’t sure if I was going to accept it".
>
>“So we’re kind of playing this back-and-forth game where I’m asking Destin, ‘Well, what can you tell me?,’ And Destin would say, ‘It’s this and that, but I can’t say anything more than that.’ But he told me it was a pivotal role, and that’s about it. So this was a leap of faith. Do I want to jump at this opportunity or do I want to hold off and wait for another potential opportunity from Marvel?”
>
>Tillman decided to take the leap, and crafted a character he compares to Barack Obama : “I had this inkling that Metzger had just a little bit of swag, a little smoothness,” he says. “There’s a fullness, a calmness, a steadiness there".

Seems actress Jayme Lawson is likely to be cast as Storm / Ororo Monroe in the upcoming Marvel Studios' X-Men movie. She played as the mayor Bella Reál in The Penguin series and The Batman for DC, and in Sinners by Ryan Coogler.
Quoted from the Article :
>Between Lawson’s acting ability and her looks that seem perfect for the part, she’s the main choice among so, so many fans online, though there are not nearly as many substantive reports that she is being considered or actually cast in the part. Again, we don’t even know if Storm is in the film. Fans took notice that her Sinners co-star and Oscar-winner Michael B. Jordan has been liking posts casting her as Storm on Instagram.
Rob Liefeld confirmed that a major Marvel villain (actor Josh Brolin) was set to lead the antagonistic charge in Fox's canceled X-Force movie.
The Direct exclusively spoke with Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld at MultiCon 2026 and asked him about the canceled X-Force movie. The man behind the X-Force noted that Cable actor Josh Brolin was "really excited" about the team-up after landing a multi-picture deal to play the time-traveling mutant at Fox. But beyond that, Brolin (who also played the MCU's Thanos) was meant to have dual roles in X-Force as Stryfe, a regular foe of the team with connections to Apocalypse.
"I think I think it's safe to say, Josh [Brolin] was really excited, because he signed a multi-picture deal, and he was excited about the prospect of not only playing Cable, but longtime fans of X-Force know that he would have been portraying Stryfe as well".
Question : You mentioned Stryfe. Was that something that was going to happen with the older release?
Liefeld : "The X-Force movie that was going to be coming to screen that Fox had planned before Disney bought the Fox catalog; he was absolutely in that movie. Spoiler alert! It would have been great… There were, at one point, discussions about him being in an after-credits scene in 'Deadpool 2', but they struck that. But no, Josh [Brolin] told me, ‘The opportunity to portray those two characters, the two sides of the coin, being the good and the evil, was something he was really excited about.’ But I mean, again, in respect to Josh, there's a possibility he has moved way beyond."
"When I tell you my post was already ready with my BTS (from the movie), with my grandson wearing all his Spider-Man stuff cuz he loves Spider-Man. Then I got the email. So yeah. No. So I'm a reject of Spider-Man, and I'm a reject of the devil's rejects. Like I still love it because everybody's in it. It still means that, you know, my character is somewhere in that same universe. And I really love that. So, I hope I get to be Claire again."
