CONFIRMATION?: MCU Reboot - Brad Winderbaum once again doing promo for Daredevil implies that a FULL reboot won’t happen. But leaves out a SOFT reboot. https://t.co/4wHsqdAoSo 

MCU Leaks -
Source of the Leak: The concept art surfaced online from Mushk Rizvi, a confirmed Marvel Studios employee according to LinkedIn, though it’s unclear if the leak was intentional or the result of a hack. The images were quickly taken down, but not before fans captured and shared them widely.

Vision Quest Insights: The artwork includes two notable pieces for the upcoming Vision Quest series, which focuses on Vision attempting to regain his memory and humanity after WandaVision. One image features Jocasta, a female counterpart to Ultron (previously seen in a variant form in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), suggesting her appearance in the series. Another shows Peter Quill (Star-Lord) casually hanging out with Vision, indicating a surprising crossover between the two characters by the series’ end.

Avengers: Doomsday Highlights: The leak offers a peek into Avengers: Doomsday, directed by the Russo Brothers and set to star Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. The art depicts various arcs, including:

Additional Projects: The leak also includes art for a canceled animated series titled Iron Man 3000, which would have featured Morgan Stark and Pepper Potts in a racing/car-themed show with a young female Vision, loosely adapting MCU canon. Other images hint at Fantastic Four: First Steps (set in a retro-futuristic 1960s world) and its connection to Doomsday.

Context and Caveats: The article notes Marvel’s usual secrecy around projects, making this leak significant. However, it cautions that concept art doesn’t guarantee final storylines, as Marvel often evolves its plans during development. The leaked images align with known details, like the Fantastic Four’s debut on July 25, 2025, and Downey Jr.’s Doom role, but their exact integration into Doomsday remains speculative.

Star Wars - Disney is apparently considering selling off their $4B purchase… Not just that, but they have been trying for about 7 months, and no one wants the IP.

Gears of War: E-Day - Release date being moved to 2026 from Holiday of 2025.

XBox - Next console to be released in 2026
