Some things about this summer’s slate of movies feel similar – namely, a lot of sequels on offer – while other elements feel a bit different, like the lingering hangover from last year’s twin strikes that brought movie production to a months-long standstill. Nevertheless, there are more than a few characters sure to distract from that with their showy antics, some masked and mouthy (here’s looking at you, Deadpool) and others aiming to turn our emotions ‘Inside Out’ all over again.

Marvel Studios is considering bringing back the original Avengers cast, including Scarlet Johannson's “Black Widow” and Robert Downey Jr's “Iron Man”. Audiences saw the two fan-favourite characters perish in the 2019 film “Avengers: Endgame”.
