The Cosmic Circus has shared a few more MCU rumours, some of which paint a clearer picture of what's to come as the Multiverse Saga winds down.

Ironheart may not be generating much in the way of excitement among fans, but the site reports that The Hood "should" return following the MCU TV series. Staying supernatural for a moment, it sounds like Moon Knight season 2 isn't completely off the table (but it may be saved for "after a Midnight Sons movie because Mark/Steven somehow have to get back to New York").

Despite Nova's TV show being put on hold, the plan is reportedly for him to be key to the next Saga, the same way Loki has been to this one.

When it comes to the Scarlet Witch, there was supposedly an idea to pair her up with Magneto in the next Avengers movies, with their relationship portrayed similarly to the 2008 animated TV series—produced by Kevin Feige—Wolverine and the X-Men. Whether that's still the case remains to be seen. 

While Wanda Maximoff is expected to factor into the MCU beyond Avengers: Secret Wars, Marvel Studios is "already prepping Billy and Tommy to take over."

Over to Spider-Man now, and given where Peter Parker finds himself in life after Spider-Man: No Way Home, he may swing into action wearing that same homemade costume (which is surely far from a bad thing).

"Regardless of what happens with whether or not Spider-Man shows up in Doomsday," the piece notes, "the overall story of Brand New Day wouldn’t be impacted because they reached a common ground that allowed them to push the story forward while still executing something new and fresh for Spider-Man that wouldn’t have been repetitive from previous installment."

"If he did end up appearing in Doomsday, then a simple addition to the story would enhance the story. So they’re fine story-wise."

Despite chatter about Thor dying in one of the next Avengers movies, it's implied that the God of Thunder would make his return in Valhalla...which might explain what we've been hearing about plans for more of Natalie Portman's Mighty Thor and Idris Elba's Heimdall. 

We've saved the biggest tidbit for last because Valentina Allegra de Fontaine's attempt to create her own superhero in The Sentry may connect the villain to Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot. Why? Well, she's "been in contact with some extremely sinister and shady individuals."

Yes, the implication is that Mister Sinister is tied to her experiments. The villain, who is expected to be put centre stage in the movie, could help tie together a lot of dangling plot threads. 

As always, let us know your thoughts on these rumours in the comments section below.

If true that I’m glad The Hood will be a recurring villain since the more we have of those , the better…

Obviously need to see the whole show first but I’m already intrigued by this take on the character and Anthony Ramos seems to be doing well!!.

The Spider Man excerpt also if true is indicative of Feige’s approach to these characters that have already been done on screen in that he wants to do something new & fresh with them that hasn’t been exploited yet in live action such as going international in FFH (which has precedent in the comics) or multiversal with NWH but also still have it feel like that character to an extent which might be a reason Blade is having trouble getting off the ground.

@TheVisionary25 - Besides Hamilton, I haven't really been impressed with his performances. Especially with Twisters he was very much the dud of that group.

I hope to hear he does a good job in Iron Heart, I'm just not rushing to see it

TheVisionary25 - 5/25/2025, 1:22 PM
@Evansly - I haven’t seen Twisters but besides Hamilton , I enjoyed him in other stuff too such as In The Heights etc.

Fair enough on Ironheart though , I’m interested in it due to what I have seen & heard.

@TheVisionary25 - I have heard good things about him in In the Heights, I'll have to check it out and see if thr show is for me

I'm gonna be perfectly frank with you; If any of this is true then Marvel will rot in it's grave until they reboot.

This all sounds like they're continuing the current version of the timeline after Secret Wars. This is the stuff that no one cares about anymore. Now I know there are people on this site that care. You comprise the box office of BNW.
If that's the only fanbase Marvel wants then by all means, continue this dead timeline. Throw X-Men in there to try and give this turd a fresh paint. But you'll never get that stink off.

@ObserverIO - the full reboot was always too good to be true.

@ObserverIO -
We need a full reboot of the MCU.

Spider-man can get 'lost' in his own dimension to spare him from the full reboot, so he's now back with Sony, completely disconnected from the MCU - enabling us to get Kraven's Last Hunt, Sinister Six and Spider-man Vs Venom before teaming up against Knull.

Sinister being behind the scenes involved in these genetic experiments sounds very cool to me. I hope he’s also somehow involved with Weapon X in the MCU.

"already prepping Billy and Tommy to take over." For Scarlet Witch?!?!

Everyone may move on to the projectile vomiting portion of our show.

@DocSpock - that was actually the most exciting update here for me.

@gmit92 - they’re two of my favorite marvel comics characters and have been since the mid 00s

@DocSpock - I get the strong impression that Olsen likely isn't coming back. Marvel don't consider her to be important.

At most, we will get a brief, pointless 2 minute cameo in Secret Wars and that will be it.

Using Allegra de Fontaine to bring in Mister Sinister actually isn’t a bad entry point for that I could see it

Mr. Sinister is long overdue.

We better get to see more of that glorious NWH final swing costume in action. That scene was barely a tease of what it looks like. We got a better look at it in the (lackluster) game that released after.

@OrgasmicPotatoe - Ugh. Spider-Man 2 was so disappointing. Especially after the first two.
OrgasmicPotatoe
OrgasmicPotatoe - 5/26/2025, 10:56 AM
@fanboy03191 - The webswinging/gliding and symbiote powers were a lot of fun, but that game has 0 replay value. The only thing you can do once the story is complete is random crimes, and the Mysterio levels EXCLUSIVELY as Miles. Then no DLC. Thry dropped the ball hard on that one.
fanboy03191
fanboy03191 - 5/26/2025, 12:08 PM
@OrgasmicPotatoe - they also dropped the fun character bios, the social media page, a lot of what made the first games feel so alive. I really do want to know why they did that.
OrgasmicPotatoe
OrgasmicPotatoe - 5/26/2025, 12:56 PM
@fanboy03191 - At least we got the deaf girl level. It wouldn't have been a good Spider-Man game without it. Priorities !
fanboy03191
fanboy03191 - 5/26/2025, 1:47 PM
@OrgasmicPotatoe - Yeah not sure what the deal was with that or their obsession with the MJ missions.

Mr Sinister is my favorite comic villain of all time....his 89's, 90's, and early 2000's version anyway.

Everything with him after Messiah Complex has been awful.

I really hope they dont plan on using the overly flamboyant, fashion savvy Sinister who's constantly commenting on people's clothes and costumes and how much he likes people's capes. Give me a [frick]ing break. Give us the scary Sinister. X-Men 97 did him perfectly. Do that.

DocSpock - 5/25/2025, 6:44 PM

When Mr. Sinister came in the X-Men comics collective, he was fantastic. Such a great character. Apocalypse had come the year before. These 2 plus X-Force reinvigorated the X comics world and just kicked a$$ for many years.

This is what the X-Men movies need. This is what the MCU needs.

But I worry Hollywood will screw it all up with their sicko pervert anti-American agenda.

@DocSpock - Did Claremont create Apocalypse and Sinister?
DocSpock
DocSpock - 5/26/2025, 1:58 PM
@fanboy03191 -

Apocalypse no, Mr. Sinister yes. The big C was one of the best comic book men of his, or any, generation. I met him on 3-4 occasions.

There's going to be a reboot, more of a reset. All the timelines converging and bringing in all these elements (FF, X-Men) that have been missing. It will be a continuation. Perhaps the MCU will be shown as it would have been prior to Kang's meddling (as if they'd always been there). They have the biggest sci-fi excuse to write themselves out of a corner rather than just scrub it all and start again, which honestly is just lazy and devalues everything that's come before- with the announced projects on the horizon too it's clear they're moving forward not wiping the slate clean. The Sinister idea is a good one. Looking forward to seeing that character play out over a long arc.
