The latest Barside Buzz around Marvel has some Avengers 5 production details and more on Hulk appearing in Deadpool & Wolverine. Let’s start with Avengers 5, leaker Jeff Sneider has come out to say that Shawn Levy will not be the director. If you recall, Levy was tipped as one of the directors Marvel were looking at for the film.
BROKEN DISH: All I’m gonna say on AVENGERS 5 is Shawn Levy ain’t directing that movie.

Meanwhile Nexus Point News have some production details around Avengers 5. A site which are relatively new to the scooping game. I haven’t had enough time to truly rate their accuracy yet. I guess we can use these details as a barometer going forward. Here is what the outlet had to say;
‘The highly anticipated follow up to Avengers: Endgame, is looking to begin production in late-March 2025, which will run through the end of Summer 2025. Assuming production runs smoothly, the film could keep its current release date of May 1, 2026. It is currently unknown if its planned sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars will shoot concurrently with Avengers 5.’
‘In addition, we have also learned that due to the size of the cast and the film itself, several actors will be filming their scenes in chunks. Actors may have to film all their scenes at once in the span of weeks without the whole cast or even everyone in the scene being present during the shoot.’
Now before anyone panics it’s worth noting parts of both Infinity War and Endgame were filmed like this. Scheduling a lot of actors is a bi***. Let’s see if this information matches up as the year progresses.

Finally we have more information on the supposed Hulk appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine. MTTSH who originally said he wasn’t in it, then changed her mind, now claims to know exactly what scene he’ll be in. Potential SPOILERS for D&W here folks, if true.
The leaker told her subscribers that Hulk is seen as Deadpool looks for a specific variant of Wolverine. She claims Deadpool comes across a version of Wolverine and Hulk who are ready to tear it down. However, before the action begins, Hulk picks up and tosses Deadpool through a portal. In other words, whilst implied to be about to happen, the audience don’t get to see it. This does make sense for a quick cameo and also matches what Alex P teased yesterday which was that it won’t go down like we imagined.
I get the feeling MTTSH didn’t know about Hulk and then she had someone who’s seen test screenings or other footage described the scene in question to her. Of course, this all remains to be seen in a month’s time. I said yesterday I kinda don’t want to know any more, but as it is my job I’ll keep sharing milder spoilers like this. Just know that once the huge story spoilers and plot summaries come in, we don’t cover those here.
