The Fantastic Four/The MCU
According to the latest instalment of the InSneider newsletter (via Comic Book), Robert Downey, Jr. may return to the MCU has an alternate version of Tony Stark who becomes Dr. Doom.
Speaking of Doctor Doom, there’s still no word yet about his casting in Fantastic Fouras insiders denied my inquiry about Robert Downey Jr., who I was told might come back as an alternate-universe Tony Stark who becomes Doctor Doom instead of Iron Man. It seems far-fetched, yes, but I figured that if there was any hope of Downey coming back, there’d have to be a new wrinkle for him to play. So, for now, we continue to wait…

The Terror: Devil in Silver
According to Deadline, Dan Stevens will star in the third season of The Terror. Written by Chris Cantwell and author Victor LaValle, on (whose novel the season is based) The Terror: Devil in Silver concerns Pepper (Stevens), “a working-class moving man who, through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself. As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face down the entity which thrives on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls – but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him.”

We don’t have an exact launch date yet, but we’ve already gotten scripts in hand, and I think the fans of Season 1 will really love where we’re going for Season 2.
