Prominent insider Daniel Richtman shared several updates on his Patreon page today regarding upcoming projects in the DC Universe, Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the Star Wars franchise. On the DC front, Richtman's sources claim that the recently announced Sgt. Rock film, set to star Daniel Craig and be directed by Luca Guadagnino ("Call Me by Your Name"), will be part of the main DC Universe. Unlike the "Joker" series, it will not be classified as an "Elseworlds" story. The project is reportedly in active development.

Shifting to Marvel, Richtman reports that Charlie Cox's Daredevil is expected to appear in "Avengers: Doomsday," though his role will be minor. Additionally, the project previously known as "Young Avengers" has reportedly been retitled "Champions" and is now being developed as a series. Filming is tentatively scheduled for 2026, with the show planned to premiere after "Avengers: Secret Wars."

Last month, Richtman noted that Marvel changed the "Young Avengers" title because the cast members are now older and no longer fit the "young" descriptor. The decision to pivot from a feature film to a series was reportedly influenced by the box office performance of "The Marvels." The studio allegedly believes that team member Ms. Marvel didn't establish enough theatrical drawing power, and that streaming-first characters like Kate Bishop's Hawkeye might also lack box office appeal.

Finally, in the Star Wars galaxy, the untitled film from "Deadpool & Wolverine" director Shawn Levy is reportedly targeting a Fall 2025 production start in the UK, though the script is said to be undergoing some adjustments. Richtman adds that the original plan for this movie was to set it in the distant future and feature a much older version of Rey.
This isn't the first time rumors of an older Rey have surfaced. Last year, reports indicated that the new sequel starring Daisy Ridley and directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy ("Ms. Marvel") was originally set 60 years after "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker." In that version, an elderly Rey would train two apprentices, a male and a female, with the studio reportedly seeking Black actors for the roles. It remains unclear why Levy's project now seems to incorporate a similar concept.
