10 Biggest Unconfirmed Rumours About 2022 Movies

10. John Boyega Will Play Blue Marvel (The Marvels)

John Boyega is one of those actors who always gets fan-cast in superhero roles, whether it's a DC figure like Green Lantern or Superman, or - as is the case with this rumour - one of many characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In March 2021, GWW obtained a casting call for The Marvels (aka Captain Marvel 2) which sought a male actor in the 20 - 30 age range, someone who was described as a "Michael B. Jordan or John Boyega type."

From here, further speculation led many to believe that this casting call was for Blue Marvel, a comic-book hero who has strong ties with WandaVision breakout Monica Rambeau - a character who has already been confirmed to appear in The Marvels.

Michael B. Jordan has already been in the MCU - hence why many people are focusing on the Boyega part of that casting call - and given that this movie is literally called The Marvels, what better place to introduce a character named Blue Marvel?

Given that principal photography is already underway on the movie, it does seem unlikely that we'll hear about a Boyega-level casting at this stage in production. But it's not impossible, and hell, it could even be some sort of secret cameo.
