Josh Cooley (Toy Story 4) is set to direct an animated theatrical prequel Transformers movie. Presumably, a prequel to the original cartoon story, NOT the Michael Bay-verse. The script for the movie was penned by Ant-Man and the Wasp writers Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari.

Matrix 4 and John Wick 4 no longer have the same release date. Due to the corona shut-down, filming schedules have been all messed up, so Matrix’s filming schedule has forced John Wick’s schedule to be pushed too far back to maintain the same release date. Matrix is still, it seems, set for the May 21, 2021 date, with John Wick May 22, 2022.

90 minute animated movie in the works. McFarlane says the animation is in the works currently, then likely it is just a matter of finding a studio to distribute it.

The Russos are officially producing, no word on the director. They are said to be “too busy” to direct, which will likely feed more rumors about WHY they are so busy.

Is it the Jeph Loeb story line, or is it just the inclusion of the Underground Liberated Totally Integrated Mobile Army To Unite Mankind? There seem to be rumors for both. Though the more likely is the Mobile Army. Would be interesting to see Dr. Doom and Magneto go against one another.

Namor is being rumored to be the next sizable event in the MCU, though not a Thanos level threat. Said to be in Eternals, Dr Strange 2, AND Black Panther 2.

Re-casting a character and it isn’t who you think. Rumor is that they have listed a casting call for the character of Iris. It sounds like Kiersey Clemons could still retain the role, but she is going to have to fight for it.

Disney is reportedly in the planning phase right now that has brought them to the FOURTH iteration of the Merc with a Mouth, and for this one they want a team-up movie with Spidey. 

Now rumored to be not only starring Keanu Reeves as Johnny Blaze, but also into the pre-production part of the game.

WB is rumored to be letting him back into the DCEU. But just for one film, and only if it is a “Black Label” style movie.

Harrison Ford is apparently being eyed for a villainous role in the movie.
