Hmmm. Guess we can claim those reports of Downey being done for good suspect.

Writing on the wall ever since it became clear this next saga was going hard into the multiverse.

It's the constant lying and denials that get me. What does Marvel think it gains them? Wouldn't people be MORE likely and excited to see the movie to see Downey back (much less Maguire and Garfield in No Way Home)? I get lying about whether a character is actually dead or not, but Marvel is basically denying actual selling points of the films. Reasons people would go to their theater are being denied. What is the logic there?

They probably feel like they have to break the rules they set in order to raise the bar post-Endgame and keep us on our ties. So in this case, they're variants so they're not watering down the MCU version's deaths but in a way, to some fans the multiverse makes the MCU feel less special. Imo, they gotta hurry up and wrap this saga up and move on, imo.

I get they want to keep things a secret but to the point actors have to lie about it rather than just say no comment is weird. But this is the same industry with trailers that say only in theaters when for decades they come out on DVD, then later Blu-ray then later 4K and streaming months later. But that gets into the weeds.

I am kind of ready for more Superheroic Jen .

I mean, it's Secret Wars, it would be probably the most sensible time to have Holland get the Black Suit .
