 Rob Liefeld is done with Marvel.The comic artist and creator says that after more than thirty years, he is severing ties with the publisher for whom he created renowned characters Deadpool and Cable.Liefeld laid out his decision in a 90-minute episode of his Robservations podcast as well as in a followup interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where he detailed a series of perceived slights at July’s New York premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine.At the premiere, Liefeld learned he and his family were not invited to the afterparty, something he was accustomed to attending. He also felt snubbed by Disney brass, including Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige, whom he says was near him on the red carpet but did not acknowledge him.“It was meant to embarrass, diminish, defeat me,” Liefeld said on his podcast of not gaining access to the after party.And there was another apparent slight: Liefeld said he posed for professional photos with creatives on the Deadpool & Wolverine team, but later was told by his publicist that those photos were deleted. He believes they were only taken as a courtesy and not intended to be used, though other photos, featuring Liefeld alone as well as with his family, appeared as part of Disney’s Getty press portal from the event.Soon after July’s premiere, he decided he would cut ties with Marvel, which he believed no longer wanted him around. “At some point, you go, ‘I’ve received the message, and the message is clear,'” he said on the podcast.

Kiernan Shipka (The Last Showgirl) and Mckenna Grace (upcoming Scream 7) have signed on to star in The Nowhere Game, a survival thriller to be produced by Erik Feig’s Picturestart. David Charbonier and Justin Douglas Powell (The Djinn) will direct off a script by Alex Pototsky, which made the 2023 Black List. WME Independent and UTA will co-rep domestic rights, with WME Independent handling international.

Ben Affleck is ramping things up on his upcoming Netflix thriller Animals. He not only will direct the pic but star as well, Deadline is reporting. Insiders add that Gillian Anderson also is aboard. The plan is for the film to shoot in Los Angeles from a script by Connor McIntyre and Billy Ray. Plot details are being kept under wraps other than the film revolving around a kidnapping. Affleck was eyeing this film as his next directing outing last year but was only planning to direct, with Matt Damon in line for the starring role. A holdup with the rights delayed start of production, and Affleck ultimately had to move on to a sequel to The Accountant with Animals pushing. Affleck still wanted to make Animals, and after starring alongside Damon in another Netflix and Artists Equity crime thriller RIP, which will bow later this year on the streamer, saw an opportunity to make Animals his next movie. 02/05/25 @ 8:58 pm EST

The first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps teases a retro-future world and an impending threat from Galactus, one of Marvel’s most famous antagonists. The Fantastic Four is one of the most anticipated Marvel movies in some time, as fans have waited years for the Kevin Feige-led studio to make a film starring Marvel’s First Family, as the team is known. The Fantastic Four are a cornerstone of the Marvel Universe in the comics, with writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby’s 1961 Fantastic Four No. 1 launching the universe. But the property has never had its due on the big screen. It spent decades at 20th Century Fox, which made a pair of middling movies in the 2000s and a universally reviled 2015 feature. (A 1994 Roger Coreman-produced Fantastic Four was famously never released). The Fantastic Four: First Steps has a July 25 release date.
