Also looks like ironheart and nova are still in the works and not canned. Nova looks to maybe be a series now.
Agents of shield hinted to be coming back.

Former Quicksilver Aaron Taylor-Johnson is being reported as the new James Bond.
I didn't notice this before. But Deadpool & Wolverine is also credited as a 20th Century Studios property. Does 20th Century Studios still technically own the film rights? That would kinda make sense since the last X-Men movie (New Mutants) was only 3-4 years ago and so their deal with Marvel has not expired yet.
Ms. Marvel season 2 probably isn't happening since that show had low viewership and The Marvels flopped hard.

Seems like Sebastian Stan is not coming back as Bucky for Cap4 https://twitter.com/CultureCrave/sta...14274049786356

Interesting Financial Times interview with activist investor Nelson Peltz. Says he wants to "help" Iger, not fire him. And he questions Feige's record at Marvel. Peltz and his supporters object to all-female and all-black casts in MCU movies as well as Disney's "woke" direction. The story about him and his friend being spectators to a tennis game featuring topless female players is probably true:

I can't believe there are still people who think the MCU problem is being too woke after they built Doctor Strange 2 around the old "women can't be trusted with power because motherhood makes them irrational" trope that was already called out when Avengers Disassembled did it. They've trashed or fridged most of their top female characters. It's like Peltz is the only person living who saw the Girl Power shot in Avengers: Endgame and didn't recognize it for the cynical nonsense it was.Iger acknowledged last year that his company has focused too much on movie messaging and not enough on quality storytelling. Peltz agrees that Disney has become too woke. “People go to watch a movie or a show to be entertained,” he says. “They don’t go to get a message.” ... [He] takes aim at The Marvels and Black Panther, which portrayed female and Black superheroes respectively. “Why do I have to have a Marvel that’s all women? Not that I have anything against women, but why do I have to do that? Why can’t I have Marvels that are both? Why do I need an all-Black cast?”
The MCU has made a lot of mistakes lately and some of their bad work has a touch of preachiness about it, but their preachiest franchise is probably Black Panther and that's one of the ones that is still doing all right (despite the loss of Chadwick Boseman). That's not their problem.
Wait... so your argument is that Peltz is wrong... because Disney is WORSE than Peltz claims? hmm.... makes me wonder if you have more detail on your thought process.
I've seen a lot of people defending the current MCU as saying this saga is structured more like the comics. Just a bunch of stories all over the place. Well, let's be honest. It's REALLY not people's cup of tea. I think the MCU would benefit massively if they returned to what they did during the Infinity Saga. Make things a little bit more streamlined and focused. But I don't see ANY of that happening. Marvel Studios execs seem highly intent on creating a sprawling cinematic universe like the comics and if they continue on this course, I think their brand will be ruined in the next few years.
