Marvel Sets Reed Richards, Doomsday, Knull Returns

Marvel Studios is positioning Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards, set to debut in the upcoming Fantastic Four, as a potential new lead for the MCU following Tony Stark's departure. Avengers: Doomsday is expected to feature the return of Thor and Loki in a battle against Doctor Doom, with fan speculation regarding the introduction of Balder. The MCU continues to revisit its legacy by bringing back classic actors such as Tobey Maguire, Hugh Jackman, and possibly Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider for future multiverse events like Avengers: Secret Wars. In the comics, villain Knull is slated for a major return in Venom #250, following his lackluster live-action portrayal in Venom: The Last Dance. Fans remain hopeful for the return of underutilized MCU characters like Aaron Davis (Prowler), reflecting Marvel's strategy of blending nostalgia with fresh narratives.
