The Kang Dynasty<\/em> and Secret Wars<\/em> will be the two-part culmination of MCU Phases 4-6, dubbed The Multiverse Saga, just as Avengers: Infinity War<\/em> and Avengers: Endgame<\/em> wrapped up The Infinity Saga of Phases 1-3. Waldron will have his hands full closing it out. The MCU Phases 4-6 have introduced a host of new characters to the MCU through the Disney+ TV shows, and more to come with future shows and upcoming movies like Deadpool 3<\/em> and Fantastic Four<\/em>. It has the potential to be even bigger in scale than Endgame<\/em>, so it will be interesting to see how he pulls it all off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The death of actor Chadwick Boseman from cancer in August 2020 was a tragedy that rocked Hollywood and moviegoing audiences alike. However, no people were affected more than those who knew him best, including his Black Panther<\/em> collaborators. Since his passing, the cast and crew of the Marvel franchise have been open with their grief over his loss and their enduring love for their talented late costar. Perhaps none of them were hit as hard as director Ryan Coogler, however, who revealed in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly<\/a> that Boseman’s passing affected him so deeply that he almost walked away from Hollywood for good. \u201cI was at a point when I was like, \u2018I\u2019m walking away from this business,’\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know if I could make another movie period, [let alone] another Black Panther movie, because it hurt a lot. I was like, \u2018Man, how could I open myself up to feeling like this again?’\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n What ultimately convinced Coogler to keep going, however, was Boseman himself. In the wake of his friend’s death, Coogler said he spent a lot of time recounting conversations they’d had and memories they shared. Through that process, he realized how important T’Challa had been to Boseman and that he’d want it to continue. \u201cI was poring over a lot of our conversations that we had, towards what I realized was the end of his life,\u201d Coogler added. \u201cI decided that it made more sense to keep going.\u201d And keep going he did, with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/em> hitting theaters on November 11. Chadwick would be proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barry Keoghan’s star has blown up in the past year, with the actor appearing in everything from cerebral dark fantasies like The Green Knight<\/em> to superhero flicks Eternals<\/em> and The Batman<\/em>. In the latter movie, he only appeared briefly, at the very end. In the short scene, he was revealed to be the Joker, sitting in the prison cell next to Paul Dano’s Riddler. Interestingly, however, it was actually Dano’s role that Keoghan had originally wanted\u2013he’d auditioned for Riddler. Speaking to GQ UK<\/a>, Keoghan revealed that he sent an audition tape to Matt Reeves as soon as he heard the role of the Riddler was being cast for The Batman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, that was back when Jonah Hill was still attached to The Batman<\/em>, and Keoghan was informed the role had already been filled. Then Hill left and Dano was cast in the role. Still, missing out Riddler opened another door for Keoghan. The actor revealed that four months later, he got a call from his agent saying, “The Batman<\/em> wants you to play the Joker \u2014 but you can not tell anyone.\u201d But we get to at least see a bit of what Keoghan’s performance as Riddler might have been. Along with the interview, Keoghan released his audition tape for Riddler. Check it out below:<\/p>\n\n\n\nRyan Coogler Almost Walked Away From Hollywood After Chadwick Boseman’s Passing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
