Answers

1. The correct answer is b.

Jeremy Renner, the actor who portrayed Hawkeye in the original Avengers movies, suffered a near-fatal accident on New Year’s Day in 2023 while attempting to assist his nephew. He was run over by a 14,000-pound machine, sustaining more than 30 broken bones and a severe chest injury. His recovery was nothing short of a miracle. However, Renner has since revealed that Marvel executives paid little attention to him whilst he was recovering, providing minimal communication or support. More recently, reports emerged that Marvel wanted him back for Season 2 of his Disney+ show Hawkeye—but at half his pay. The incident has sparked questions about how major studios treat actors after significant health setbacks.

2. The correct answer is d.

Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly in negotiations with Marvel Studios to play a role in an upcoming MCU venture. Although nothing has been confirmed yet, industry insiders and social media leaks indicate that Marvel is interested in SRK for a future franchise. If you’re thinking Avengers: Doomsday, you’re sadly mistaken. MCU reportedly wants Khan to star in another project, which is currently in development. The rumour gained traction after Marvel actor Anthony Mackie openly complimented Khan, labelling him “the damn best” and declaring he was eager to share screen space with him.

3. The correct answer is a.

Marvel Studios officially welcomed back director duo Anthony and Joe Russo—the creative force behind Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019)—to do a reset for the franchise. They’ve been hired to reboot and rebrand the next phase, directing both Avengers: Doomsday (May 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (May 2027).

This represents a strategic move by Marvel to bring back the visionaries who created two of the most successful and highest-rated entries in their franchise.

4. The correct answer is c.

Tom Holland has starred in three solo Spider-Man movies (Homecoming, Far from Home, and No Way Home) and appeared in several Avengers movies. He is rumoured to star in Spider-Man 4, Avengers: Doomsday, and Avengers: Secret Wars. He’s also starring as one of the protagonists in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie, an adaptation of The Odyssey. Zendaya (who joined Holland in Spider-Man films) will join him in the Nolan project alongside Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron. This represents a significant shift for Holland into high-profile, auteur-driven filmmaking outside the MCU superhero genre.
