Marvel fans are familiar with Kevin Feige, as he is the mastermind for a bunch of our favorite Marvel content. The MCU is mapped out through Phase 6, and it is unknown what will come after the two Avengers movies, that are set to release during Phase 6. However, a new report from The Direct has revealed that Kevin Feige is reportedly looking for a role somewhere else within Disney, and out of Marvel Studios.
Back in 2019, Disney announced that Kevin Feige would be making a Star Wars film in the near future. The project has not yet come to fruition, and there has been no other announcement about it either. Feige is reportedly looking to take Alan Bergman’s position as the chairman of Walt Disney Studios. Disney CEO Bob Iger has recently announced that Bergman and Dana Walden would be transitioning to co-chairs of Disney Entertainment as a whole.
On the new episode of Hot Mic, industry insider Jeff Sneider has said that Feige wants to be number 2 at Disney, and has always wanted Bergman’s chair. Feige could potentially take over the now vacant spot, but it is unclear if Disney will even fill the position with the restructuring going on within the company.

Of all the Disney Plus projects set to come to our small screens, Skeleton Crew is still the most mysterious. So far very little is known about it other than it takes place during the same time as ‘The Mandalorian’ and stars Jude Law. Outside of that only rumors tend to dominate the conversation. With this in mind, the reliable source Bespin Bulletin reveals who the cinematographer on the project might be.
According to Bespin Bulletin, Sean Porter, of the hit movie Green Book, is the cinematographer for this series. Someone with a lot of credits behind them as a filmmaker would very much be an interesting pick for such a project. Hopefully, they bring a unique spin to the artistry of the series as it progresses. We have no release date yet for Skeleton Crew outside of 2023 at the moment. Though like most Star Wars it has the best of the best behind the camera making wonderful art for us to enjoy.
Skeleton Crew will hopefully come to Disney+ sometime in 2023, although like many things always in motion the future is and so are the release dates of shows.

Add another rumor for the Fantastic Four pile.
According to Jeff Sneider, an insider, during his Hot Mic podcast with John Rocha, he heard that when we are introduced to Reed Richards and Susan Storm for the upcoming 2025 movie, they’ll be parents already. Also according to Sneider, casting for Susan Storm is looking for a woman in her 30s.
Much fan speculation had circled John Krasinski being Reed Richards, especially given his appearance as such already in the Doctor Strange sequel. However, Krasinski has stated before that he is not in discussion with Marvel for the role in the debut movie. That depiction of Richards, it’s important to note, was also a father.
Filming of the movie is set to start this year, and as con season starts to ramp up with the warming of the weather, we’ll likely hear more on casting. Whoever it is that is cast, with the attention being paid to the news of the movie, will take the internet by storm.
