Marvel is starting 'Civil War' again to tell us that 20 years ago Tony Stark had a secret. It is ridiculous, indeed

In 2005, Civil War was a turning point in Marvel’s history, a before and after: superheroes facing each other like never seen before, choosing a side, making decisions that would change their future. What was the result? The best-selling graphic novel in the company’s history, a movie adaptation that grossed 1.15 billion… And of course, logically, they have tried to make the donkey pull the cart again even though it has no strength or desire left.

In 2005, Civil War was a turning point in Marvel’s history, a before and after: superheroes faced off against each other like never before, choosing sides, making decisions that would change their future. The result? The best-selling graphic novel in the company’s history, a film adaptation that grossed 1.15 billion… And of course, logically, they have tried to make the donkey pull the cart again even though it no longer has the strength or desire.

Civil War, but now done right

The company has just released the first comic of a new collection titled Civil War: Unmasked, dedicated to telling us secrets that no one told us during the initial run 20 years ago. And the first one tackles something fundamental: the reason why Tony Stark insists relentlessly that a Superhero Registration Act is needed. Just in case the explosion by Nitro that killed 600 people, including children, wasn’t enough.

In this case, shortly after the start of the war, Tony Stark goes to see the mutants to try to persuade them not to remain neutral, and then Bishop decides to show him his future, a world in which he shows what will happen if he loses: the Wideawake Project, a future with millions of Sentinels enslaving the population. And of course, Iron Man, after a talk with the president, ends up supporting the act even more strongly because he believes he must prevent any other future. Anyway.

This issue, if anything, diminishes Iron Man’s decision, who is fully aware of the existence of alternate futures and multiverses that do not have to be our own. In the next issue, the real reason why Spider-Man decided to show his face to the world. While we’re at it, why not mess that up too.

We will not see Deadpool as the solo protagonist in a Marvel movie again

After its notable success in theaters in 2024, Deadpool has maintained a lower profile in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the charismatic Merc with a Mouth has big plans for his return. Ryan Reynolds, the actor behind the character, has confirmed that he is working on a new script for future Deadpool adventures. During a recent interview with NBC, Reynolds shared relevant information about the direction the character will take in the future.

After its remarkable success in theaters in 2024, Deadpool has maintained a lower profile in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the charismatic Merc with a Mouth has big plans for his return. Ryan Reynolds, the actor behind the character, has confirmed that he is working on a new script for future Deadpool adventures. During a recent interview with NBC, Reynolds shared relevant information about the direction the character will take in the future.

Chimichanga

Reynolds made it clear that Deadpool will not star in solo movies again. Instead, the actor revealed that the antihero will be presented as a supporting character, or in certain cases, as a leader within a team. I don’t think I’ll ever focus on Deadpool again. He’s a supporting character. He’s a guy who is great when he works with a group, Reynolds stated. This statement comes after the Merc with a Mouth shone in his two solo films and in his co-starring role with Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman.

Reynolds’ approach to upcoming projects suggests that Deadpool will take on a lighter and more comedic role in future Marvel productions. He is likely to appear in future Avengers installments, although he probably won’t have a leading role, but rather a comedic relief role. The upcoming multiversal confrontations, which include powerful villains like Doctor Doom, could provide the perfect backdrop for the character’s quirkiness and humor.

While Deadpool’s evolution into a supporting character may surprise some, it seems to be a logical decision given the character’s background in film; and his nature has benefited from interacting with other characters.

After years, Jason Momoa finally fulfilled one of his big dreams within the DC universe: to portray Lobo. This iconic bounty hunter, known for his wild and irreverent nature, will make his debut in the upcoming ‘Supergirl’ movie, which is based on the acclaimed comic ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ by Tom King and Bilquis Evely.

Very Direct Indirects

James Gunn, co-director of DC Studios, has shared the first official teaser of Lobo, giving fans a real glimpse that leaves no doubt about the intense return of the character. In this teaser, we can see Momoa making an explosive entrance, characterized as Lobo and enjoying a cigar, an image that perfectly encapsulates the attitude of the antiheroic character. Momoa responds to the question about his role by simply saying: Finally. This statement reflects not only his enthusiasm but also a long wait for this moment.

Over the years, Momoa has repeatedly expressed his desire to play Lobo, even during his time as Aquaman. According to Peter Safran, co-director of DC Studios, the actor has mentioned his interest in the role since his beginnings in the DC universe. I would prefer to be playing Lobo, Momoa commented in previous conversations, and his message when he was offered the role was clear: LOBO, accompanied by exclamation marks.

The cast of ‘Supergirl’ includes Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze, and Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll. The film will premiere in theaters on June 24, marking a new chapter in the DC cinematic universe and promising a galactic journey full of action and excitement that follows the story of Kara Zor-El.

The X-Men are back! Will this revitalize Marvel?

The arrival of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ in December 2026 has generated a mix of anticipation and skepticism among fans of the Marvel universe, and there is still almost a year left until its release. The recent box office of 2025 has highlighted the phenomenon of superhero fatigue, which has become more palpable than it might seem. In both 2023 and 2024, genre titles managed to position themselves in the Top 10, but this year, only James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ is in the tenth spot, leaving the heroes behind […]

The arrival of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ in December 2026 has generated a mix of anticipation and skepticism among fans of the Marvel universe, and there is still almost a year to go before its release. The recent box office of 2025 has highlighted the phenomenon of superhero fatigue, which has become more palpable than it might seem. Both in 2023 and 2024, titles in the genre managed to position themselves in the Top 10, but this year, only James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ is in the tenth spot, leaving Marvel’s heroes behind.

The weariness of superheroes

Marvel Studios, aware of the loss of interest among its audience, has begun to promote ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ with teasers that, while promising to bring back iconic characters like Captain America and Thor, have also conveyed a sense of desperation. This strategy aims to attract back fans who feel distant after the controversial Multiverse Saga.

In the shared updates, Marvel has decided to bet on nostalgia, bringing back iconic actors from the Fox era, such as Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and James Marsden, who would reprise their roles as Professor X, Magneto, and Cyclops, respectively. This approach has generated mixed opinions among critics, who wonder if this move will convince older fans that there is value in this new cinematic offering.

Despite the interest generated by the return of the X-Men, apprehension persists. Many fans express a notable reluctance towards the upcoming release, which could pose serious challenges for Marvel in trying to revitalize a subgenre that seems to be hearing its last bells. The upcoming December 18, 2026, will be the date when it will be confirmed whether the power of capes and masks remains appealing enough for contemporary audiences.

Superheroes have lost everything they had: this year they have eliminated a trend that had been ongoing since 2010

The superhero cinema is at a crossroads, following a notable decline in its popularity that has become evident in 2025. Throughout this year, no film in the genre has managed to enter the top 50 highest-grossing films of all time, marking a record not seen since 2011. This data highlights the loss of enthusiasm from the audience towards these productions, a concerning trend for Hollywood studios.

The superhero cinema is at a crossroads, following a notable decline in its popularity that has become evident in 2025. Throughout this year, no film in the genre has managed to enter the top 50 highest-grossing films of all time, marking a record not seen since 2011. This data highlights the loss of enthusiasm from the audience towards these productions, a concerning trend for Hollywood studios.

Steel Supermediacy

Among the movies released by Marvel this year, such as Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, none have achieved the expected revenue. In fact, these titles are among the lowest-grossing for the studio, even surpassed by Superman, the most successful genre film of the year with earnings of 616 million dollars. However, this figure is still insufficient compared to the standards of yesteryear, as Superman barely grazes the limit of the top 50, currently held by Logan with 619 million.

The outlook for 2026 could change with the arrival of highly anticipated titles like Spider-Man 4 and Avengers: Doomsday, whose box office is expected to be more spectacular. However, there are still doubts about whether these films will be a milestone or if the current year is an indicator of a more significant shift in audience preferences.

On the other hand, in the DC universe, the arrival of Supergirl and Clayface is expected. However, it is estimated that these productions will not make it to the top 50. It is worth mentioning that Clayface has a budget of only 40 million dollars, which means it could be considered a success even with moderate box office earnings.
