Several characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe are confirmed to reappear in Avengers: Doomsday, coming to theaters later this year. So far, no versions of the Hulk or characters connected to him are included, but with multiple Avengers teams expected to assemble, there’s a good chance some could show up. This potentially allows for the return of the Abomination, who might even get the opportunity to join a new team of heroes.

As a big fan of the Quiet Place movies, I’m excited about the next installment, even though it’s a bit confusing to think of it as the third and the fourth film in the series. With the prequel, Day One, starring Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn, already out this year, this new one brings the total to four movies. Considering the franchise has made almost $900 million worldwide, you’d think they could’ve gotten a little more imaginative with the title than just Part III! Seriously, The Quietest Place? The Quiet Place: Here We Go Again? Even The Quiet Place: The Don’t Speakquel would have been better! Oh well…

Pierre Coffin, the director of the first three Despicable Me films and the 2015 Minions movie, is returning to direct the third Minions installment.

Although the story is still a secret, fans are excited to learn who is working on the movie as it nears its release later this year.
