Latest Marvel News: Kevin Feige Accused of Pulling a ‘Black Adam’ with ‘Eternals’ as ‘Deadpool 3’ Plays Mind Games in More Ways Than One

Even with the festive season grinding the world to a halt in favor of much mirth, celebration, and way too much food, there’s still been plenty of fascinating insights into the Marvel Cinematic Universe making the rounds to ensure the wheels keep on turning.

Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool 3 factor heavily into today’s bout of fact, fiction, rumor, speculation, and revelation, while the uncertainty surrounding the franchise’s resident band of immortal intergalactic interlopers has been subject to a take that could generously be described as spicy.

Kevin Feige accused of forcing the movie with no sequel or spinoffs down our collective throats

The more time passes, the higher the chances of Eternals being a rare one-and-done effort from the MCU begin to increase, with over a year elapsing since the epic space opera became the only one of the superhero saga’s 30 feature films to end up on the wrong side of the Rotten Tomatoes aggregation scale.

And yet, thanks to an entirely unconfirmed rumor tying the half-emerged Tiamut to Thunderbolts, Captain America: New World Order, and the X-Men, an incendiary take from a disgruntled fan has come to the conclusion that the company’s chief creative officer Kevin Feige is trying to force the Eternals into canon in much the same way as Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam tried and failed to change the hierarchy of power in the DCU – even though we’ve got no idea if, when, how, and/or why they’ll return.

Ryan Reynolds will not stand for Deadpool being banished from Christmas canon

As the never-ending debate over the merits of Die Hard can attest, the specifics of what constitutes a Christmas movie are open for interpretation and argument, but Ryan Reynolds has nonetheless thrown his lot in with Deadpool being recognized as a yuletide favorite.

Given that the crux of the conversation revolves around how much screentime acts as the barometer for inclusion to the pantheon of festive classics, it’s easy to see where both sides are coming from. Seeing as he’s the star and producer, though, it’s simpler to side with Reynolds in this instance.
