Avengers: Endgame is the only Marvel Studios movie to not feature any sort of post-credits scene, and we later learned that the reason for that is because it served as an end of an era for the MCU.

However, it seems the plan was once for us to get a stinger laying the groundwork for WandaVision. In the Disney+ series, Wanda Maximoff and Vision have relocated to the small town of Westview, and are living an idyllic life in constantly changing sitcom settings. We still don't know how the android has returned, but Paul Bettany has now shed some light on how Marvel planned to tease that.

"At one point I was going to be in a tag, where you opened a sort of body bag drawer and there was the Vision," the actor says of Avengers: Endgame. "Kevin kind of talked to me and said, 'I've got to pull the shots.' I was like, 'Ugh!' Because I really wanted that profit participation (laughs)."

It's interesting that we were going to learn where Vision's body was being stored, and possible the Scarlet Witch would have been shown retrieving his body. Instead, it seems Marvel Studios decided to keep some mystery behind what became of the android, and we're now banking on WandaVision to clear things up. For now, we don't even know if the fallen Avenger is even really "alive."

What are your theories about The Vision's surprise resurrection?

10. Kevin Feige Reveals Episode Counts For Disney+ Shows

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has finally shed some light on how they're handling the MCU TV shows coming to Disney+, and it seems there will be two different types of series.

"We're looking at it as developing them as either six hour-episodes, or nine or 10 half-hour episodes," he reveals. "So, for instance, WandaVision started that way and Falcon and the Winter Soldier as 30 minutes, but because it's streaming, it's Disney+, and the rules have blurred over the years, yes. Some can be 23 minutes. Some can be much longer than that."

He added that She-Hulk is being developed as 10 30-minute episodes, while Loki and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will be in the 40 - 50 minute range (as will the planned Moon Knight series).

Feige's full comments can be found right here.

9. Batwoman Season 2 Finds A Villain In Black Mask

We recently saw Black Mask in Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, but there are already plans to use the villain again (this time on the small screen). There's no casting news yet, but it's said that we'll see the False Face Society as it "tightens its grip on Gotham distributing a perilous new drug."

Showrunner Caroline Dries says, "We have a couple big bads this season. One, [who] we teed up midway through last season, is this woman Safiyah, and she's sort of Alice's Achilles' Heel. And ultimately the False Face Society, we will see the leader of this gang as Black Mask later."

Check out the full story on plans for Black Mask by clicking here.

8. The Batman Spinoff Series Gets A New Showrunner

Boardwalk Empire's Terence Winter parted ways with HBO Max and Matt Reeves due to "creative differences" on The Batman spinoff series ("Gotham Central" is the show's working title).

Now, a replacement has been found in Joe Barton. He's best known for creating Netflix crime drama Giri/Haji. He also worked on AMC and Channel 4 sci-fi drama Humans, Netflix's Troy: Fall of a City, Sky thriller Extinction, and more. Whether he can rival Winter's past work remains to be seen.

Find more details on his one here.

7. Ray Fisher Will No Longer Play Cyborg In The Flash

There was another development in the ongoing war between Ray Fisher and Warner Bros. this week, as the actor confirmed the studio has made the decision to remove him from The Flash.

In a lengthy statement, he confirmed that Cyborg was set to make more than just a cameo appearance, again accused Geoff Johns of "blatant racism," and indicated his time as the hero is over. Warner Bros. later responded with some words of their own, making it clear that the studio is ready to move on - from the situation and Fisher - now the investigation has been concluded.

Fisher's full statement can be found here.

6. Moon Knight Finds Its Villain In Ethan Hawke

Moon Knight has found its lead villain, and while we don't know exactly who he's playing, Marvel Studios has cast Ethan Hawke! This is definitely an unexpected addition to the MCU, but one it's impossible not to be excited about (especially with Oscar Isaac taking on the role of Marc Spector).

There are any number of possibilities for who Hawke could be playing, with Bushmaster the most likely. However, he could also be taking on the role of Werewolf-by-Night!

More details on Hawke's Moon Knight casting can be found by clicking here.

5. WandaVision Reviews Are In

The reviews are in for WandaVision, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive so far. In our review, we said, "A love letter to sitcoms and the perfect show to bring us back into the MCU, WandaVision is Marvel's most exciting project yet, with an unmissable, Emmy-worthy performance from Elizabeth Olsen."

Since then, the show has been Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

By now, we're sure you've watched those first two episodes for yourselves, but you can find a spoiler-heavy recap by clicking here, and a look at the show's most intriguing moments right here.

Don't forget to also check out our recent interviews with director Matt Shakman and star Kathryn Hahn.

Find the roundup of reviews for WandaVision here.

4. Sam Wilson's Captain America Costume Leaks

Earlier this week, a first look at Sam Wilson's Captain America costume in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was revealed courtesy of some toy packaging for the Disney+ TV series.

Few changes have been made to this costume from the comics, and it's not remotely difficult to picture this fitting into the aesthetic of the MCU. The red, white, and blue wings looks awesome, and this figure makes it clear that this shared world will soon have a very different Captain America. Sam clearly isn't leaving his roots as Falcon behind, but is still representing what Steve Rogers stood for.

For a first look at this leaked costume, simply head over to the article by clicking here.

3. More Release Date Changes

There was another wave of release date changes this week, starting with Morbius. Originally scheduled for a March 19th release (after being pushed back last year), Sony's Marvel movie is now heading our way on October 8th. That's not a bad spot for what many are hoping will be a horror-inspired tale.

Unfortunately, it's possible Black Widow is also being postponed, while James Bond movie No Time to Die has vacated its April 2nd spot for an undisclosed fall debut. There is some good news, though, because Godzilla vs. Kong has been brought forward by two months from Memorial Day to March 26th.

Find more on these planned release date changes right here.

2. Chris Evans Is Returning As Captain America...Maybe

While Chris Evans would later take to social media to say "news to me" in response to the story, the Hollywood trades revealed earlier this week that the actor is in negotiations to return for at least two more MCU appearances.

Another Captain America solo movie isn't expected to be one of them, with the plan being for Evans to make smaller appearances in projects not all that different to the role Robert Downey Jr. played in Captain America: Civil War. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is one strong possibility, though he could also appear in something Multiverse related.

Check out the original report on this possible return here.

1. Deadpool Is Officially Coming To The MCU

Easily the biggest news this week was Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirming that Deadpool 3 is officially in the works, and the threequel will be R-Rated!

As if that wasn't exciting enough, Feige added that the Merc with the Mouth is "a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just awesome to see him bring that character to life."

So, yes, the movie will be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and not a separate/alternate world. Unfortunately, shooting isn't expected to begin until next year at the earliest.

I'm so glad I use this site for news and not clickbait YouTubers. I can just imagine the "UNSEEN VISION EASTER EGG IN ENDGAME?!?!?" title cards.

MrDandy - 1/19/2021, 5:55 AM

@InfinitePunches - damn it! That was going to be my title card.

MarvelousMarty - 1/19/2021, 5:05 AM

Haven't started WandaVision yet. I'm apprehensive because I didn't like the trailers and hate the 50's/60's sitcom feel. Three friends from work have watched the two episodes. One turned off after 10 minutes and the other two stuck with it but didn't love it. I think I might have to struggle through the first half of this season and hope it expands out of the sitcom setting.

Doomsday8888 - 1/19/2021, 5:09 AM

@MarvelousMarty

Mikel9608 - 1/19/2021, 5:12 AM

@MarvelousMarty - it’s definitely not for everyone. My wife didn’t like it. She suffered through it for me and with the promise that it’ll get more modern as it goes. But I grew up on old reruns of these shows with my mom so I appreciated the attention to detail and overall I found the comedy more hit than miss. Also don’t go in expecting the norm from Marvel, that’s another thing that threw my wife off. It’s way different than anything they’ve ever done

Mikel9608 - 1/19/2021, 5:13 AM

@Mikel9608 - closest I’d say is Legion but that wasn’t MS that was Fox. But yea this shits bonkers in a good way.

slickrickdesigns - 1/19/2021, 5:13 AM

Let’s hope that footage was used somewhere along the line in WandaVision.
Shows a little slow but I’m willing to watch for some kind of Payoff towards the end of the first season. WandaVision is Probably going to end up being a big teaser for Dr Strange 2 with no conclusion , just a lead into Doctor Strange.

Origame - 1/19/2021, 5:31 AM

@slickrickdesigns - thats what I'm thinking. I mean we're already 2 episodes in and we literally only know that they're trapped in what I call sitcom world and Wanda may be trying to keep them there. So far it's just heavily reliant on the sitcom homages over plot (and character to an extent). That would normally be fine unless you just don't care about sitcoms.

Origame - 1/19/2021, 5:24 AM

I'm glad this wasn't the case for multiple reasons. We really didn't need endgame to act as a set up to future projects, just the ending of multiple arcs. That and I don't get the logic of using a body bag with vision. We use those for sanitary reasons. What diseases is visions body gonna give us?

RokoVII - 1/19/2021, 5:49 AM

@Origame - Im sure it wouldnt have been a tipical plastic body bag, he did say "body bag drawer" or something. Reason probably being not leaving his body out in the open out of respect im guessing

RokoVII - 1/19/2021, 5:56 AM

@Skellfull - also what i thought for a sec, except the stone was gently plucked from his forehead

Origame - 1/19/2021, 6:24 AM

@RokoVII - I'm guessing a drawer. Really can't imagine a bag being used at all.

Origame - 1/19/2021, 6:27 AM

@Skellfull - might have worked if it was post stone breaking, but since the stone was put back together and the radiation never seemed to be an issue outside of physically touching the stones. Hence why there wasn't an issue with vision moving around in public spaces.
