Leaked ‘Avengers: Doomsday' concept art reveals potential plot and character details
Among the most discussed pieces is an image of Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., sitting on a throne in medieval surroundings. The white-and-silver armor seen in the artwork differs from the green cloak revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, raising speculation about alternate timelines or universes.
Other concept art shows Star-Lord and White Vision lounging together, a medieval village populated with Hulk-like figures, and a Young Avengers gathering led by Wong, featuring Cassie Lang, Wiccan, Kate Bishop, and Ms. Marvel. Another piece depicts a variant of Black Panther, rumoured to be Prince T'Challa II, standing before Wakanda's Panther-shaped rock formation.
Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell are confirmed to return, with Atwell reprising her role as Agent Carter. However, Marvel has not revealed if Evans will play Captain America or a different version of Steve Rogers.
Set for release in May 2026, Avengers: Doomsday replaces The Kang Dynasty and will be followed by Avengers: Secret Wars in May 2027. With the Russo brothers directing, fans eagerly await official details on Marvel's next multiversal adventure.

George Lucas to attend Comic-Con for first time
Comic-Con kicked off Thursday in San Diego, California, with expectations running high among devoted fans keen to catch a glimpse of George Lucas at his first-ever appearance at the convention, reported AFP. Other expected highlights of the gathering - one of the world's biggest celebrations of pop culture - include the world premiere of the prequel series Alien: Earth. Comic-Con began holding events in San Diego in 1970, as a low-key and rather niche huddle, but has now grown to an annual get-together that attracts 130,000 people eager to hear behind-the-scenes tidbits from Hollywood stars and directors unveiling their latest projects. This year's edition will be marked by the presence of legendary filmmaker Lucas, who has never visited the convention before despite Comic-Con culture being deeply rooted in his Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises. In a session on Sunday set to be moderated by Queen Latifah, Lucas will discuss the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art with Mexican director Guillermo del Toro and Oscar-winning artist Doug Chiang, who has shaped the iconic Star Wars universe for decades. The museum, scheduled to open in Los Angeles next year, will be dedicated to illustrated narratives and will house the Lucas archive. "Nearly five decades ago, Star Wars made one of its earliest public appearances at our convention, along with a booth featuring (comic book artist) Howard Chaykin's now legendary Star Wars poster as a promotional item," said David Glanzer, Chief Communications and Strategy Officer. "Now, to have Mr Lucas... is a true full-circle moment. His lifelong dedication to visual storytelling and world-building resonates deeply with us and our community." Marvel Studios will have a smaller presence at the convention this year, skipping its eagerly awaited annual presentation in Hall H. According to Variety, changes to the premiere of the new Avengers installment complicated logistics for the studio, whose cast is currently filming in Britain. Despite this notable absence, events at coveted Hall H still promise great excitement for fans of science fiction, a core genre of the convention. On Friday, it will host the world premiere of the pilot episode of the prequel Alien: Earth, directed by Noah Hawley and slated to hit streaming platforms in August. The series takes place a couple of years before the events depicted in Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien, offering an expansion of the venerated franchise. Another fan favourite that will have its moment in the spotlight is Predator: Badlands, with a panel Friday set to include director Dan Trachtenberg, who revitalised the brand with Prey (2022).

Highlights include a massive chariot race sequence and behind-the-scenes moments like Simhadri in a wedding dress and Diemer and Scobell recreating Titanic's iconic pose. Diemer said playing Tyson, a gentle cyclops with emotional depth, was a dream come true. Season 3 was also teased, with Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie joining as Nico and Bianca di Angelo, children of Hades (Jay Duplass). The show continues to grow its mythological world with new faces and deeper emotional journeys. Season 1 ended in January 2024, making this return highly anticipated. With enhanced visuals, deeper themes, and new characters, Season 2 aims to take Percy Jackson fans on an even more epic quest.

Sacha Baron Cohen's devilish transformation with Ozempic
Sacha Baron Cohen, best known for outrageous comic roles like Borat and Ali G, has stunned fans with a dramatic physical transformation ahead of his debut as Marvel's demonic villain Mephisto. At 53, the actor unveiled a chiselled physique in Men's Fitness UK, confessing that his so-called revenge body was built with the help of Ozempic, disciplined training and a crash course in consistency. 'Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, some use personal trainers. I did all three,' he wrote on Instagram, sharing images from the shoot. Mocking himself in classic style, he added, 'Debuting my new character. Middle aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes.' Baron Cohen had just three weeks to prepare before filming. He turned to Alfonso Moretti, a celebrity trainer known for reshaping bodies under pressure. The plan was straightforward but demanding. Cohen was required to do 100 push-ups every day, stick to 25-minute workout sessions and maintain a high-protein low-sugar diet. He admitted he started with 'the core strength of an arthritic jellyfish' but found the brief workouts surprisingly sustainable, even during filming. By the second week, his wardrobe team had to spend over five thousand dollars adjusting costumes as his body continued to change. Marvel confirmed his role as Mephisto following the villain's surprise debut in the finale of Ironheart, finally putting fan speculation to rest. Reaction to his Ozempic use has ranged from admiration to concern, with some fans questioning Hollywood's growing reliance on weight-loss drugs. Still, Cohen's transparency and commitment have drawn praise and curiosity about where he takes the character next.
