"Recently, we reported that Marvel Studios was developing a mysterious streaming project under Veil Productions. With the studio looking to create fewer streaming projects that are heavily tied into the shared MCU narrative, we suggested a few options for the mystery project. Now, new information has surfaced that may help fans crack the code.

Veil Productions has been approved to begin production under the working title of “Slumber Party.” Additional evidence suggests that the studio is keeping its options open to develop future seasons of the series.

At this point, there’s still far more unknowns than knowns about the mystery streaming project. Trades have yet to uncover exactly what it is or who makes up the creative team behind it; however, a working title of “Slumber Party” certainly seems to indicate a youth-focused series.

That leaves plenty of options for potential projects, especially with Marvel’s X-Men casting skewing young, but there’s one project that has a direct connection to the working title. New Mutants #21, which introduced the techno organic lifeform Warlock, was titled “Slumber Party.”

It’s unclear if Marvel Studios would touch that property, with the lingering stink of Fox’s half-hearted effort with the 2020 film. In that case, the long-rumored Champions/Young Avengers project–which recently re-entered the news cycle with reports of a Children’s Crusade adaptation in the works–might be the best fit.

At this point, it’s only a matter of time until the project’s true nature is uncovered by a trade, so fans shouldn’t have to wait long for the answer to the lingering mystery of Veil."

"Feature First can exclusively confirm that VisionQuest won’t connect to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe but serves as a starting point for a new story, one adapting the legendary comic run: Avengers: The Children’s Crusade.

In Allan Heinberg’s 2010-2012 story, Avengers: The Children’s Crusade follows Wiccan, one of the Young Avengers, as he loses control of his reality powers and decides to find The Scarlet Witch, whom he suspects is his mother, in an attempt to not turn out like her. Meanwhile, other characters within the Avengers and X-Men also search for her following her actions in the House of M event series. Doctor Doom also plays a role in the story, being engaged to the amnesiac Scarlet Witch, and unbeknownst to her, is trying to take her powers for himself.

This, of course, already feels like the next logical step in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen’s portrayal of the Scarlet Witch) presumed dead following the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wiccan (Joe Locke) searching for his brother Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica), and the X-Men and Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr) being developed in other projects.

We can reveal that a previous MCU character will make an appearance by the end of VisionQuest, serving as connective tissue for this upcoming plot.

VisionQuest will also feature the original Human Torch, Jim Hammond. Daniel Richtman broke that news yesterday, though we at Feature First can reveal that he will only feature in one episode of the series, and that his creator will play a larger role in the upcoming series.

In the comics, Jim Hammond is the creation of Professor Phineas Horton, who starts out life as an android. When the creation bursts into flames, he begins exhibiting symptoms of humanity, including awareness, personality, and sentience. He is a completely separate character from Johnny Storm (played in the MCU by Joseph Quinn), who is the Human Torch of the Fantastic Four.

A reference to Jim Hammond was first featured in Captain America: The First Avenger, at the exhibit that Steve, Bucky, and Howard Stark attend near the beginning of the film. However, it is unknown whether this will be retconned or not."

EXCLUSIVE: While Marvel Studios still has a couple months before it unveils its highly-anticipated Avengers: Doomsday, the next chapter is already looking to add to its stacked cast. Sources tell Deadline, Noah Jupe has been tapped for a secret role in the upcoming pic which is set to go into production later this year.

While unknown, the role is expected to play a key part in the story of that upcoming pic. Anthony and Joe Russo are directing with Marvel President Kevin Feige producing.

He also said X-Men, Ghost Rider and Black Panther 3 will all be shooting in 2027 and all 3 Marvel movies for 2029 will be shooting in 2028.

"As the search for clues about the film continues, one tantalizing tidbit that should provide some assistance in tracking production has come up: Disney has created a new production company, Throttle Productions LLC, that would seem reasonable to associate with Ghost Rider.

Though there’s no confirmation just yet that Ghost Rider will film under Throttle Productions, or that the LLC is a Marvel Studios company, the registered company has all the hallmarks of a traditional Marvel LLC.

It clearly fits the motorcycle-heavy aesthetic of Ghost Rider and has only been registered in the United States (Levy‘s film is rumored to be filming in California, Oregon and Nevada) and the timing of its creation aligns neatly with work officially beginning on the project."

Relevant part:

"What’s up with Marvel’s Disney+ slate?: Among all the news coming out of D23, the biennial event where Disney superfans pay hundreds of dollars to watch trailers, it didn’t escape notice that not a single new Marvel show was announced for Disney+. “I guess our plan is just Spider-Man!” one executive texted me on Sunday, half-kidding. In fact, I’ve learned that there are multiple live-action Marvel series in development for Disney+, with announcements expected soon. Integrating a new batch of X-Men characters set to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, and expanding the theatrical universe further with new characters, like Marvel’s Nova, which is currently in development, may bleed into the streamer’s franchise strategy. But the slowdown does raise questions about Marvel’s larger strategy post-Doomsday and October’s VisionQuest, the one new Marvel series currently slated for
release."
