Jon Favreauis heading back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to Variety, the actor/director will not be coming back as a director, but instead will join the production ofSpider-Man: Homecomingreprising hisIron Manrole of Happy Hogan. Favreau’s casting in the film makes sense given that we already knowRobert Downey Jr.has a co-starring role as Tony Stark/Iron Man, so perhaps Happy will get to cross paths with the webslinger himself.Spider-Man: Homecominghits theatres on August 25, 2025.
Production on a newJumanjimovie begins soon, and social media masterDwayne Johnsontook to his Instagram accountto reveal concept art of his character Doctor Bravestone.

Hey guys, my name is Brian and I’m from Ireland.I had a pretty hard year, and finding Collider Video made my year tolerable. I realized watching all your videos that I should try do the things I love more, so I decided to take a gap year from College. Explore my options and all that haha! Anyway my question is what actors you believe will win an academy award in the future?
For meMichael Fassbender,Saoirse Ronan(being a little bias),Benedict Cumberbatch,Amy Adams(eventually) andFelicity Jonesare all likely candidates.
