We’ got some Barside Buzz about Steve Rogers in Doomsday, Brand New Day villains plus some confirmed Vision Quest casting. Let’s begin with the rumors. Insider/leaker MTTSH has claimed that the code name for Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) on the Avengers: Doomsday set was, ‘Luke Cage’. Now, if true, this becomes a lot more interesting I promise.

So what makes this especially interesting if it’s true is a previous set report/leak. When filming first began on Doomsday there was a lot of work being done on an old fashioned house. Someone claims that some tags on that set listed the place as ‘Luke Cage’s House’. Now, Luke Cage far as we know has nothing to do with Doomsday. so it was a weird anomaly at the time.
Now, I’m not saying this is all definite fact by any means. If true this could indicate that someone comes to see Steve Rogers back in the 40’s/50’s when he is living with Peggy post-Endgame. However, that is dependant on MTTSH’s information being correct, which we shall see on.
Secondly we have Daniel RPK claiming that despite all the villains reportedly in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, we’ve still to find out the movie’s main villain.
I can now tell you that the main villain of Spider-Man Brand New Day is NONE of the villains that we heard about. And it's not Mister Negative.

The no Mister Negative, despite early rumors, seems to be gaining in consensus amongst leakers. So who could be the main villain? Well, there were those rumors from way back the main villain would be female, so let’s see what happens.

So far all of Daniel RPK‘s casting rumors have been legit except one. Daniel said Kerry Condon would reprise her role as Friday for the show, which the actress then later denied. As we can see, she wasn’t playing Garfield and Condon’s role has been recast with another Irish actress Orla Brady.
