It's official — The Hulk will return in Spider-Man 4
Ruffalo will be reprising his role as Bruce Banner aka The Hulk in the next Tom Holland flick. Outside of a few episodes of the animated Marvel "What if...?" episodes, this will be the first live action Hulk appearance since the 2022 "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" show on Disney Plus. Ruffalo's last Marvel movie appearance was a brief cameo in "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" in 2021.
Production of the latest Spider-Man movie is supposed to begin at the end of this month in the United Kingdom.
Additionally, the article claims that Michael Mando, formerly of "Better Call Saul," will be returning as the Scorpion, which he first played in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, the first Holland Spider-Man movie.
Perhaps its not surprising that Ruffalo will be in the new Spider-Man, as the previous trio had a habit of pairing Tom Holland with a seasoned Marvel actor; Robert Downey Jr. (Spider-Man: Homecoming), Samuel L. Jackson (Spider-Man: Far From Home) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Spider-Man: No Way Home).
In addition to Ruffalo, Jon Bernthal will reportedly reprise his role as The Punisher, the character's first appearance in the MCU outside of the Netflix superhero shows.
So far, all we know about the plot is that someone will pull strings inducing Hulk, Punisher, and Spider-man into fighting one another.

The film is being directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (previously behind "Shang-Chi") and written by Chris McKeen and Erik Sommers. They combined on the scripts for the previous Spider-Man flicks as well as "Ant-Man and the Wasp."
The rumor mill for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has been surprisingly quiet but here's everything we've learned so far:

James Gunn Reveals the DC Character Kevin Feige Told Him He Wants to See in a Movie — GeekTyrant
In the ever-entwined worlds of Marvel and DC, it's not every day that Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige publicly roots for a character from the rival camp. But that's exactly what happened recently. While we now live in the timeline where James Gunn is shaping the new DCU, the Guardians of the Galaxy director revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that his longtime Marvel collaborator had a strong opinion on who he'd love to see show up in a sequel to Superman. The name Feige dropped was None other than, Bizarro. Gunn said: "It's funny, [Marvel Studios President] Kevin Feige wrote me yesterday, He says he hopes his old pal Bizarro... [Laughs] He wants to see Bizarro." With how Superman ends, Feige clearly saw the seeds being planted just like the rest of us. We already saw hints of duality in David Corenswet's performance, playing both Superman and his twisted clone Ultraman. While Gunn hasn't confirmed that Ultraman will evolve into Bizarro, the clues are definitely there for fans paying close attention. Gunn teased some deeper layers that were originally planned for Ultraman's portrayal, even noting a scrapped element that leaned further into the tragic figure trope. he said: "There used to be some sadder stuff in there at some point that I got from the script that I really liked. I didn't have time for everything. … I don't know if you got prosthetics on [as Ultraman]. 'He's got a chin that's jutting out, his ears poke out, he's got one eye kind of going in a little direction. [Luthor] took him out of the oven a little too quickly or something." That paints a picture of a flawed creation, which lines up beautifully with the classic Bizarro archetype: a well-meaning but broken mirror image of Superman, misunderstood and manipulated. There's emotional depth just waiting to be mined here in the DCU, and with Gunn's love for offbeat, "freakish" characters, Bizarro feels like the perfect fit for his storytelling sensibilities. While the DCU Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters lineup already includes Eric Frankenstein and the Creature Commandos , the idea of exploring Bizarro's painful identity crisis through Superman's lens could take the emotional stakes even higher. We're not saying Ultraman will become Bizarro. But if he does, it would be an interesting move. It sets up an arc of identity, empathy, and what it means to be "defective" in a world that glorifies perfection. You can bet Clark Kent would be the one to face that conflict head-on. So yeah, Feige wants Bizarro in the DCU, and honestly, who can blame him?

Survivor Season 49: Release date, cast updates, location and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on August 4, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated August 4, 2025, 12:00 IST Survivor Season 49 is gearing up to hit screens, bringing another round of intense challenges, strategic gameplay, and jaw-dropping moments. As the CBS reality show celebrates its 25th anniversary, fans are buzzing with excitement about what this season has in store. Here's everything known about the release date, cast updates, filming location, and what to anticipate from this thrilling chapter in the Mamanuca Islands. Release Date: When to Tune In Mark those calendars! Survivor Season 49 is set to premiere on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 8/7c on CBS. The season kicks off with a two-hour premiere, setting the stage for an epic adventure. After that, expect weekly 90-minute episodes every Wednesday at 8 PM, a format that's become a staple in the show's 'new era' since Season 45. This extended runtime means more time to dive into camp life, strategic plotting, and those iconic Tribal Council moments. With a 13-week run, the season should wrap up around mid to late December 2025, keeping viewers hooked through the fall. Cast Updates: Fresh Faces and a Marvel Twist This season introduces 18 new castaways, all vying for the $1 million prize and the title of Sole Survivor. Unlike the highly anticipated Survivor 50, which will feature returning legends, Season 49 focuses on fresh talent with no prior players. Rumors have been swirling about the cast, with one standout name generating buzz: a Marvel executive is reportedly joining the game. While details about this individual remain under wraps, their presence adds an intriguing layer to the mix. Could their Hollywood savvy translate to outwitting, outplaying, and outlasting the competition? The cast is divided into three tribes of six, with no unifying theme for the divisions, keeping things unpredictable. Fans can expect a diverse group, as CBS continues its commitment to inclusivity, requiring at least 50% of the cast to be Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC). Rumored names like Savannah, Sophie, Sage, Matt, and Annie have popped up on fan sites, with some speculation about a strong female presence potentially dominating the game. Two players from this season are also confirmed to return for Survivor 50 in 2026, adding extra stakes to their performance. Stay tuned for the official cast reveal closer to the premiere for full details on their backgrounds and strategies. Location: Back to Fiji's Stunning Shores No surprises here—Survivor Season 49 returns to the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji, a fan-favorite filming location since Season 33. These picturesque islands, known for their turquoise waters and lush jungles, provide a breathtaking yet brutal backdrop. This time, players will face a sweltering Fijian summer, with Jeff Probst describing it as so intense it'll feel like 'the jungle is breathing on you.' The heat could amplify the physical and mental challenges, pushing castaways to their limits as they navigate starvation, alliances, and betrayals. Fiji's consistent use as a filming location ensures stunning visuals and familiar terrain, but the unpredictable weather and rugged conditions will keep the game as tough as ever. What to Expect Next: Twists, Challenges, and More Season 49 is expected to build on the momentum of recent years, with fast-paced gameplay, limited food supplies, and new twists aimed at keeping both castaways and viewers on edge. Rumors suggest a fresh advantage might shake up tribal dynamics early in the game, possibly altering the traditional power structure. There's also talk of more cross-tribe alliances forming before the merge, creating unpredictable vote-outs and blindsides. Emotional backstories, unexpected hero arcs, and big betrayals are practically guaranteed. Host Jeff Probst, who has helmed the show since day one, continues to guide players through the emotional highs and lows, adding his signature commentary at every tribal council.

Vanessa Kirby Says Robert Downey Jr. Is Doing the "Most Amazing Work" as Doctor Doom in AVENGERS
There's been plenty of talk and skepticism surrounding Robert Downey Jr. stepping into the role of Doctor Doom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After all, Downey is synonymous with Tony Stark, so imagining him as the MCU's next big villain has been a tough sell for some fans. But according to Vanessa Kirby, who's playing Sue Storm in Fantastic Four: First Steps , Downey is crushing it. In a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Kirby had nothing but praise for her co-star, calling him a powerhouse on set. "Oh, beyond. Beyond," Kirby said when asked how she's getting along with RDJ while filming the currently in-production Avengers: Doomsday. "He's the most incredible human being. Soulful, deep, kind. He's been an amazing leader to us, considering we're the newbies. A lot of the others have known this world for a really long time. He's been a phenomenal leader, and he's also just doing the most amazing work." Considering Doom's deep ties to the Fantastic Four , it makes sense that Kirby would be working closely with him. Fans have been anxious to see what Downey brings to the character, especially since Doom is widely regarded as one of Marvel's greatest villains. There's always been the fear that Marvel might inject too much Tony Stark energy into the character, but early reports and Kirby's comments suggest otherwise. Everything points to Doom's look being faithful to Jack Kirby's iconic comic book design. That's something the previous Fantastic Four films never fully delivered on, and it's a big deal for longtime fans. If Marvel can nail the aesthetic and Downey brings the gravitas the character deserves, we might be looking at a legendary take on Doctor Doom, one that is sure to define the next era of the MCU through Avengers: Doomsday and the highly anticipated sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars .
