Los Angeles, December 10 - Marvel Studios is re-assembling its OG superheroes for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday after seemingly closing that chapter in the last Avengers film - Avengers: Endgame, back in 2019. ## After officially confirming Robert Downey Jr.'s big Marvel comeback, this time as a villain, to play Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027), Hollywood media has reported that Chris Evans who played Captain America, is also returning to the MCU. ## According to the report by Deadline, the role of Evans isn't entirely clear at this point but he in the Captain America costume seems less likely. However, the report states it wouldn't be a shock if he reprises that iconic role as Steve Rogers though Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson character will also return as Captain America. ## It is not that Evans hasn't featured in the MCU title after Endgame, the actor recently had a cameo in the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all-time, the MCU's Deadpool & Wolverine, as his character from the Fox/Marvel early aughts days, which are also pre-Captain America: Johnny Storm from the Fantastic Four movies.## Deadline has also reported that apart from Downey Jr., and Evans, many other Marvel OG superheroes are expected to return for Doomsday. Benedict Cumberbatch has already confirmed his appearance as Doctor Strange in this highly anticipated blockbuster while it is also being speculated that Tom Holland would feature in the film. ## The shoot of Doomsday will kick off next year as the movie is scheduled to hit the big screen on May 1st, 2026. The Russos also have Avengers: Secret Wars in May 2027.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, December 9 - Pushpa Raj annihilates the Hindi box office with an unimaginable collection. The movie had heavily frontloaded record opening weekend and was anticipated to see some drop on Monday, however, that isn't the case as the movie has a much better than expected hold with a record non-holiday Monday collection. ## Pushpa 2 - The Rule is witnessing a drop under 50% from the monstrous Sunday collection and just around 20% drop from the huge Friday which is truly remarkable as early estimates suggest a 45-47 crores net collection on its first Monday/fifth day, depending on how strong offline shows are.## Irrespective of where the final collection lands, 45 crores net seems to be locked for the first Monday which takes its total Hindi collection to around 330 crores net in just 5 days, making it the fastest to reach 300 crores net collection. The full first week is heading towards a record 400 crores net (+/-).## Apart from the out-of-the-park collection in Hindi, Pushpa 2 has a decent hold in Telugu states as estimates suggest 13-14 crores gross, followed by 4-5 crores gross in Karnataka and 4-5 crores gross in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Overall, Pushpa is estimated to gross 75-80 crores on its first Monday which is a fantastic hold. ## The total domestic collection of the film is around 700 crores gross after 5 days and the full week is heading towards 800+ crores gross. It is likely to enter the 1000 crores domestic gross club during the second weekend. ## Stay tuned...
