THERE were two San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC) 2024 announcements that gave me hope of a Marvel Comics Universe (MCU) revitalisation – the first being Robert Downey Jr’s casting as Dr Doom and the second being ... Galactus.

In case you are having flashbacks of the cloud-like figure from the 2007 Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer movie, rest assured (or can we?) that for now, at least, that “evil cloud” role has been taken over by Alioth in Deadpool Vs Wolverine.
