This is it, ladies and gentlemen! The time we’ve been waiting so long for! The epic conclusion for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Infinity Saga is officially complete as The Russo Brothers have finished work on Avengers: Endgame!
We’re just three weeks away from the Avengers: Endgame official worldwide debut and it’s safe to say that anxiety and impatience to see how the MCU’s Infinity Saga will finally unfold is at its peak. Fans have waited more than ten years to see how everything related to Thanos and the Infinity Stones will finally unravel and how the Avengers will finally tackle their most dire situation. For maybe the first time ever, even the most die-hard fans are going to see the film clueless about how it ends thanks to the secrecy surrounding the epic film.
Today the good news about Avengers: Endgame comes from Collider Editor-In-Chief Steven Weintraub as he reveals that The Russo Brothers have finally finished the film. They had to tweak the last few VFX shots, but the movie is officially locked:

Also on this note, Marvel Studios released an Avengers: Endgame featurette which will get you even more pumped up, raise your levels of anxiety and also let you know that the film is officially PG-13. Check it out:
Avengers: Endgame might be one of the most anticipated Marvel Studios films to date after Avengers: Infinity War broke several box office records and Black Panther managed to win a number of Academy Awards some weeks ago. Even more so, fans were left with one of the most excruciating and surprising cliffhangers in film history when Thanos got away with murder and enacted his Decimation event over the Universe effectively killing half of every living being in it.
Of course, the Avengers lost several team members and were left in shambles. Captain America and the heroes in Wakanda were left grieving on Earth while Iron Man and Gamora were left stranded on Titan. The last few trailers show us that the remaining Avengers will try to mend the situation but how they’ll do it is still a mystery and fan theories have been spawning every day. Whatever happens next in Avengers: Endgame will reshape the MCU and will probably give us a tease as to what to expect in its next phase which will feature new franchises like The Eternals and Shang-Chi.

Top Actors To Replace Ben Affleck In Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’
Ben Affleck is officially out as Batman and it's a pretty sad day.
Words cannot describe how sad I am to see Ben Affleck announce that he's no longer Batman. His Batman is why I do what I do. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I fell in love with his comic book-accurate interpretation of the Caped Crusader. It was a breath of fresh air and it felt like we finally had the one true Batman.
Three years have quickly sped by and we're officially going to receive a new Batman for his next movie. Last night, Ben Affleck announced that he will not return as the Dark Knight in Matt Reeves' The Batman and now everyone's attention has moved towards wanting to know who the next Bruce Wayne will be. Matt Reeves is said to want an actor that's around 20 years younger than Affleck while Warner Bros. wants someone older. My guess is that Reeves wants a fresh start while the studio wants an older actor for crossover potential.
In this list, I will discuss the actors I think can replace Ben Affleck as Batman using the parameters that Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. want. Hit Next to see our picks to play the Batman.
Michael Fassbender
Michael Fassbender is an X-Men alum and no stranger to comic book franchises. The actor has shown multiple levels of range and could definitely handle the Batman/Bruce Wayne personality. If they go with the older range for the next Dark Knight, then Fassbender is probably one of the best choices to take over the role.
Ben Barnes
Ben Barnes is out of a job after The Punisher season 2 and he's one of the best actors in that series. The second season tied up Barnes' arc on The Punisher and the actor has already told us that that he'd love to play the Caped Crusader. Barnes definitely has the pretty boy look going on for him and I wonder what his take on Bruce Wayne could be.
Ryan Gosling
I've said this before and I'll say it again: Ryan Gosling needs to star in a superhero movie. I've always thought Gosling would make a great Batman. Every role that he's done has shown us his capability and he could crush it as Bruce Wayne.
Jon Hamm
Jon Hamm is my top choice for an older Batman. If Warner Bros. wants to cast an older actor for crossover potential, Jon Hamm is the studio's best bet. He has a similar look to Ben Affleck, and c'mon, the guy's look just screams Bruce Wayne.
Armie Hammer
Armie Hammer is 32 years old and was cast as the Caped Crusader in George Miller's Justice League: Mortal. That film will never see the light of day, but that doesn’t mean that Hammer doesn't deserve a second shot at being the Batman. He's charming, broody and will probably give his all for this role. Armie Hammer is a great option because he's young enough for Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. could work in a way for him to crossover with the rest of the DC Extended Universe.
Richard Madden
Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden is my top choice to replace Ben Affleck as Batman. The actor is young, has the look and definitely has the acting chops to play the duality of Batman and Bruce Wayne. Madden just won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television series for the BBC drama Bodyguard, so Warner Bros. may want to quickly snatch him up.
