The MCU has got so massive that Marvel Studios is usually constantly in production on a bunch of projects, but the current health crisis has forced them to temporarily shut up shop. Over the past few weeks, weve got word that the various movies and TV shows Marvel has in the works have had to be put on hold given the coronavirus outbreak. And now, the latest update on the situation claims that the studio has officially closed down all production, laying off crew members in the process.

This news comes our way via Charles Murphy of Murphys Multiverse. According to the insider, the studio has sent out an email to all crew, revealing that the initial plan to resume shooting in a month is no longer feasible, hence this new measure. Heres how Murphy sums up the salient points:

Unfortunately, theres nothing that can be done about this right now, given that movie and TV productions across the board are being closed down amid the widespread banning of large gatherings of people. Seeing as the email reportedly notes that a four-week delay isnt realistic, we can likely expect Marvel Studios to keep their doors shut until well into May, at least.

Speaking of,Black Widowwas set to be the next Marvel release, but it wont be making its scheduled May 1st due date, after all. The next one out the gate is The Falcon and the Winter Soldierin August, butBWs delay may have a knock-on effect and cause that to be pushed back, too. Like the rest of the entertainment world, the ongoing pandemic will no doubt have a big impact on Marvel Studios output. At this stage, though, its hard to say how big.

Marvel Studios Has Reportedly Shut Down All Production Indefinitely - We Got This Covered

WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Season 15, Episode 13 of Supernatural, "Destiny's Child."

In the latest episode of Supernatural, Sam & Dean encounteredalternate versions of themselves with a drastically different upbringing. While these doppelgangers seemingly exited the show by the end of the episode to go to Brazil, could this set of Winchesters end up helping the pair during the series finale?

"Destiny's Child" starts off with the Winchesters seeing their alternate reality selves teleporting into the armory inside of a Fiat while "I Want You" by Savage Garden plays. The alternate universe Winchesters don't stay for long as they're immediately teleported back to where they came from. Yet, as Billie elaborates, the boys were escaping the destruction of their universe by God. The alternate universe Winchesters resurface later trying again to enter this reality, but they're stuck between worlds. The two brothers appear like ghosts on a wall trying in vain to break through the barrier keeping them in place. Once they're let loose, the differences between the AU Winchesters and the mainline ones are made apparent.

The AU Winchesters lived a posh lifestyle owing to their still-alive father, John, spoiling them and turning the financially struggling hunter job into a global business empire known as "Hunter Corp." Instead of plaid shirts and craft beers, the AU Winchesters were sipping scotch, wearing lavish clothes, and flying on private jets. Yet, what shocked the mainline duo the most was that they actually got paid for hunting monsters. Though AU Sam's man bun was equally shocking.

While Sam and Dean went out to retrieve a mystical artifact, their alternate counterparts stayed at the bunker posing as them in case God showed up. At first, the two lament how simple Sam and Dean's lifestyle seems to be, yet they soon realize how independent the boys really are. AU Sam & Dean lived a life full of privileges thanks to their father and haven't fully emerged from his shadow. This sense of freedom and lack of fiduciary responsibilities is what the AU Winchesters crave. When the OG Winchesters returned successfully from their mission, their alternate counterparts ask if they can remain at the bunker. Dean quickly dismisses this as far too "weird" and angrily shoves them off to Brazil when he discovers they drove Baby.

Though this episode was mostly about Jack and the role he'll play in the upcoming conflict, the AU Winchesters still remain on this earth. Throughout the series, there have been multiple versions of the Winchesters scattered across the multiverse. The OG Winchesters visited a world where they were mistaken for their real-life actors and plenty of worlds where the apocalypse came to pass. And even though God is wiping the slate clean on the number of worlds in the multiverse, AU Sam and Dean can't have been the only ones to have escaped God's wrath. Is Supernaturalpreparing for a "Crisis on Infinite Earths" style event that will see multiple versions of the Winchesters teaming up to fight God/Chuck?

While it's highly unlikely we'll see that kind of event for the series finale, Supernaturals' co-showrunner, Andrew Dabb promised the ending will be definitive.Supernatural co-starsJensen Ackles andJared Padalecki promised there will be a lot of ugly crying by the show's finale.

The fifteenth season of Supernatural is a celebration of the long-running series and the characters that made it must-watch television. There have been a lot of callbacks and references to past seasons, and there will be a lot more by the show's end. Supernatural has always been about finding beauty even in the darkest of times. AU Sam and Dean could possibly return by the series finale, but they'll be distracted for a while by the beaches and women in Brazil.

Airing Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW, the final season of Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins and Alexander Calvert.

Supernatural: More Than One Set of Winchesters Can Save the Universe - CBR - Comic Book Resources

It doesnt make a difference that Tony Stark died in Avengers: Endgame and got a saints burial service highlighting pretty much every player of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans, despite everything, need him back. Furthermore, as reckless as the MCU plays with the laws of time and nature, its not feasible.

In all actuality, by this point, Downey most likely wouldnt return for something besides a little job or a voiceover, yet it may be conceivable now that the multiverse has presented.

For a long time, comic books have toyed with the concept of parallel universes referred to all in all as the multiverse circles of presence where one specific saint can carry on with their life uniquely in contrast to the great story most easygoing fans know.

For a long time, superhuman motion pictures and TV shows didnt present the idea because the innovation wasnt there, and there was an inclination that the multiverse might confound fans.

The way that Downey is playing bashful in these meetings makes me wonder if discussions as of now have occurred, and if RDJ may know thatmore Iron Man is in the cardsfor his future.

Then again, itd be savvy of him to stand by longer, with the goal that the effect of his passing in Avengers: Endgame truly can be felt. Ought to Tony come back to the MCU after a film or two, at that point his penance to stop Thanos (Josh Brolin) will be to a higher degree a contrivance, and the passionate punch it landed will be reduced.

The post 'Crisis' has seen some massive changes ring in. 'The Flash' was one of the Arrowverse shows that built-up the 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' along with 'Arrow' throughout Season 6 and the aftermath of the multiverse-shattering battle has led the series in a new direction.

Barring the return of the old villains and a new mysterious organization along with the death of the Speed Force, the show dropped a crucial hint that somewhere in the post 'Crisis' exists Atlantis as confirmed by the team's genius whizkid, Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes). The episode, 'Death of the Speed Force' saw Cisco and Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) return. The former was out globe-trotting and figuring out the key changes between the pre and post 'Crisis' earth when he reveals he also visited Atlantis. There was just one setback The "Atlantean fish smell" would stick to the clothes for a while.

While that raised hopes for an Aquaman cameo, the show didn't see an appearance from one of DC's major characters just yet. Atlantis and Aquaman have a rich comic history. The city was technologically and magically advanced. In fact, it was the same magic abilities that helped them transform into amphibious species when the island nation went down to the depths of the ocean. As far as the current definition goes, Atlantis comprises of seven different kingdoms.

Meanwhile, Aquaman and Aqualad have made appearances in other DC content. Jason Momoa starred as Arthur Curry/Jason Momoa in 'Justice League' and 'Aquaman' while Drew Van Acker played Garth/Aqualad in 'Titans' Season 2. Both characters have been part of the animated series, 'Justice League' and 'Young Justice'.

Not much is known about a potential Aquaman entrance into the Arrowverse despite these Easter egg drops. While it can be safe to assume that the king of Atlantis will not definitely arrive in 'The Flash', only time will tell if The CW plans on getting the character a standalone series, especially when WB is working on an 'Aquaman' sequel starring Momoa.

What are your thoughts on a potential Aquaman cameo/show in the Arrowverse?

'The Flash' airs Tuesdays 8 pm on The CW.

Darkseid has been on a historic mission in the realm of DC Comics, first dying in battle, then being resurrected as a mind-controlled slave, and then being reverted into an adorably hideous baby. But come June,Darkseidmay finally reach his ultimate form, and achieve his goal of reshaping all of reality. But unlike his Marvel counterpart, Thanos... Darkseid's plan will actually work.

When it comes to threat levels in the DC Universe Darkseid ranks among the very top, having nearly conquered all sentient life multiple times. His first invasion of Earth was the crisis that initially brought the Justice League together in the rebooted New 52 continuity, and his obsession with the Anti-Life Equation has led to the deaths of thousands. But not long afterJustice League: Odyssey threw shade at Thanos' plan -- claiming any fool could see how it would fail. Which means Darkseid is after an even MORE powerful way to make it happen.

Gods aren't known form being humble, but Darkseids defeat at the hands of the Anti-Monitor during the events of The Darkseid War knocked the king of evil off his pedestal, and stripped him of most of his power and nearly all of his dignity. But Darkseids will is unfathomably strong, and DCs June solicitation forJustice League: Odysseysuggests the dethroned lord of Apokolips is now on his way to conquering the Multiverse in a way he never could before--by becoming the author of all reality.

Unfortunately for those fond of evil newborns, Darkseids adventures as a Rugrat were short-lived. With the help of his daughter/surrogate mother Grail, baby Darkseid fed on the life-force of Zeuss divine bastard children to gradually grow back into adulthood. Considerably weakened, Darkseid then tricked Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael into going on a space odyssey to return him to his seat of power. Believing themselves on a mission to restore order to the universe, the trio of Earths defenders go on an unsanctioned (and forbidden) trek through a patchwork of lost planets called the Ghost Sector. Unwitting pawns in Darkseids path to ultimate power.

Darkseids quest sends the Odyssey team on a scavenger hunt to find ancient technology that combines together to create Sepulkore, a solar system-sized version of Apokolips. With Sepulkore, Darkseid plans to ride out the galactic entropy bleeding into the Multiverse after the destruction of the Source Wall (collateral damage fromNo Justice). Though they attempted to betray Darkseid before he could complete his master plan, Darkseid transforms Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael into twisted versions of New Gods to serve at his nightmarish command.

However, there was an unwilling member of the team Darkseid couldnt warp to his divine will--Green Lantern Jessica Cruz. Not fitting into Darkseids plans Cruz was brutally executed, but through a freak accident involving her power ring and Darkseids omega beams her body was restored with the ability to manipulate omega energy. While fleeing Darkseids mutated horrors, Cruzs new team (comprised of Darkseids son Orion, Starfires sister Queen Blackfire, a Zamaron technician, and a vicious Red Lantern who is also a house cat) encounters yet another being hoping to bring down the New God, this one armed with a machine that can rewrite reality.

Epoch, a nonlinear being and a self-proclaimed Master of Time, plans to use a cosmic device called a revision mechanism to edit out Darkseids existence from the pages of history, one syllable at a time. And not rely on magic or mysticism to do it. DCs June solicitations hint that the second Odyssey crew will also fail to bring down the Lord of Apokolips. InJustice League: Odyssey #22(on sale June 3rd), Darkseid successfully breaches Epochs defenses and it is heavily suggested that he will claim the revision mechanism for himself. This means Darkseid will wield more power than he ever has before, as the new author of the DC Universe--able to rewrite continuity to his dark will.

Does this mean DCs Rebirth is getting the New 52 treatment? With the comic book publisher offering media outlets muddled and at times conflicting details regarding their latest big event launchGeneration 5 (or 5G for short), many speculate DC is headed for another soft reboot--not a continuity earthquake like Crisis On Infinite Earths but more like a continuity aftershock likeZero Hour. If that is the case, it is more than possible that Darkseid will play a part in retconning the timeline considering hisnew position as the Multiverses editor-in-chief.

The Crisis On Infinite Earths"five-part TV series event featured numerous cameos from all across the DC Universes properties,but one that didn't make it wasCameron Cuffes Seyg-El from the canceled Krypton.

"We were actually going to have Cameron play a Kryptonian elder, said Arrow Co-Creator Marc Guggenheim on Fake Nerd Podcast, so we could play a little fast and loose with continuity if we had to.

RELATED: Krypton Star Cameron Cuffe Comments on Missing Out on Crisis

On Krypton, Cuffe plays Seyg-El, the father of Jor-El, which makes him the grandfather of both Superman and Supergirl. The show takes place prior to the planet's fated destruction, and Seyg must wrestle with this knowledge and fight against the tyranny of Zod.

Crisis provided a reason to bring in Cuffe, whether he was referred to as an El or not. His inclusion would have been enough of a link between the Arrowverses Supergirl and Superman to warrant his presence.

Guggenheimwent on to say, When Alura was basically grabbing Kal-El and Lois on Argo, to take them to the ship, we were going to have this Kryptonian elder essentially hologram in with important information about the destruction of the multiverse. So that stuff is actually written!"

While he would have appeared in the form of a hologram, it still would have beena thrill for fansto see Cuffe make this cameo. Havinga generational quasi-Super-family reunion would have added even more gravity to an already hefty story,and it might have happened if Kryptonhadn't been cancelled and Cuffe didnt have other commitments at the time.

Crisis On Infinite Earths spanned five shows: Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrowand Legends of Tomorrow.The story required the universes seven paragons to stop the Anti-Monitor from destroying the multiverse with anti-matter waves.
