For years now, Marvel has kept its universes separate. The MCU has stayed separate from the Sony Spider-Man Universe, and the X-Men Fox/Marvel Universe has been doing its own thing long before Robert Downey put his suit on. Now, however, the lines are blurring. Venom is in Tom Holland’s New York, Wanda Maximoff killed Professor Charles Xavier, and Monica Rambeau was woken up by the Beast in a different universe.
Deadpool & Wolverine
The biggest crossover of universes, however, is yet to come. Deadpool 3 has been teased to be the biggest crossover event to ever happen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not only will Wade Wilson learn about the multiverse, he will also have Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine by his side.

Robert Downey Jr. took home his first Oscar on Sunday night… but he also took a heap of criticism for how he accepted it.
It made for an awkward moment during Sunday’s Oscars ceremony when the award for Best Supporting Actor was presented by five former winners, including last year’s champ Ke Huy Quan, who won for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Quan excitedly announced Downey as this year’s winner for his role as Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer, and Quan held the Oscar statuette and the envelope with Downey’s name on it as Downey made his way to the stage.

Actor Johnny Depp made his mark in Hollywood when he was cast as Edward Scissorhands in the titular role, however, he wasn’t the only actor considered for the part.
Despite being filmmaker Tim Burton’s muse for many years, the role of Edward could have gone to some pretty surprising actors. Who were some of the actors who could have been cast in the role?
Edward Scissorhands could have gone to these A-listers
Possibly tough to imagine, but actors like Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, Tom Hanks, and even William Hurt were in the running for the part.
Hanks couldn’t move forward because he opted to instead star in the film Bonfire of the Vanities. Meanwhile, Cruise’s name was also floated for the role. He was filming Days of Thunder and Burton wanted someone with more of an indie appeal.

Robert Downey Jr. is recalling the beast of a “squandered opportunity” behind 2020 film “Dolittle.”
The “Oppenheimer” actor revealed to The New York Times magazine that he views “Dolittle” as one of the most important films of his career because of the lesson it taught him. Downey credited the complicated production behind the Disney box office flop for helping him reset his priorities both on and offscreen.
“I finished the Marvel contract and then hastily went into what had all the promise of being another big, fun, well-executed potential franchise in ‘Dolittle,'” Downey said. “I had some reservations. Me and my team seemed a little too excited about the deal and not quite excited enough about the merits of the execution. But at that point I was bulletproof. I was the guru of all genre movies.”
He continued, “The stress it put on my missus [producer Susan Downey] as she rolled...
