The things Christian Bale does to his body for roles are deeply disturbing.

If I remember the interviews correctly, Matt Damon wanted to loose the weight for The Martian.
But he is right. I'm 42 now. Went from around 120kg to 74. I'm also 192cm tall. You do the math. Got back to a healty weight, but am slightly over that now. I want to drop a few kgs. But dammit, it's not as easy as it was 10 years ago.
I am both in awe of the man's commitment, but is also deeply troubling. And very unhealthy.
Does Bale still do that, though? As far as I know, the last time he gained and then lost a lot of weight for a role was for Vice and then Ford v Ferrari right after that, and that was over five years ago. He's 50 now, it wouldn't surprise me if he stopped doing these weight losses and gains.

Christian Bale Admits He Has To Stop Changing His Weight So Much For Roles
From his crazy weight loss in The Machinist, to packing muscle for the Dark Knight trilogy to his most recent unrecognizable transformation as Dick Cheney in Vice, testing the limits of his body for a role looks to be just another day at work for Christian Bale.

Robert Downey Jr. will be playing Tony Stark again in a new Disneyland Avengers' Campus attraction, Stark Flight Test.
This is not the first place I would have expected to see RDJ's Stark again.

I got to say I am kind of excited about the MCU for the first time in awhile. I loved X-Men 97 and also Deadpool and Wolverine. I have high hopes for Agatha and Daredevil even though Agatha will for sure not get good ratings. I think it's going to be like "Ms Marvel." Good show that nobody watches because people are wanting the big name characters right now. The trailer for "Captain America" also looks good but I do have worries because they basically changed the whole movie through reshoots. Also bringing back Robert Downey Jr is very intriguing. I know it also feels desperate but I am really excited to see what they are going to do. Fantastic Four trailer clips also look good. Also the final season of "What If."
Doesn't make it any less insane that he did it multiple times already.From 2019...

I hope he doesn't suffer health related issues later in life as a result.
Here's a bit that escaped notice-- Brad Winderbaum has confirmed that, unlike other Marvel animated projects, the upcoming four episode Black Panther: Eyes of Wakanda is set on Earth 616 / The Sacred timeline / the world of the main MCU narrative and it will expand the history of not only Wakanda but of the MCU as a whole.

Also confirmed at D23 is the rumor that the story will tie in to the mythology of the Iron Fist, K'un L'un and "other secret cities".

This is one of the parts that intrigues me the most. I hope that it is actively consistent with what was established in Iron Fist (meaning, not just doesn't contradict it but flows with it), perhaps even to the point of continuing that storyline just a bit. There were threads that still needed wrapping up.
It also has the potential to establish how realms such as Ta Lo fit together in the grand cosmological scheme.
Eyes of Wakanda is seemingly still scheduled to drop sometime in 2024.

I'm pretty sure I posted an article awhile back about him saying the same (about expanding the history of Wakanda and the MCU as a whole)...Here's a bit that escaped notice-- Brad Winderbaum has confirmed that, unlike other Marvel animated projects, the upcoming four episode Black Panther: Eyes of Wakanda is set on Earth 616 / The Sacred timeline / the world of the main MCU narrative and it will expand the history of not only Wakanda but of the MCU as a

...but this is the first I've seen it being only four episodes! That's extremely disappointing.
Now that is pretty big news! I'm very curious to see how all of them tie together.Also confirmed at D23 is the rumor that the story will tie in to the mythology of the Iron Fist, K'un L'un and "other secret cities".

But again, seriously disappointing that it's only four episodes.
Come to think of it, I wonder if the MCU has plans to introduce the Savage Land. I mean, it's a land of dinosaurs -- who wouldn't want to put that onscreen?
That may depend upon whether Latveria winds up landing on the 616 or elsewhere in the multiverse like the Fantastic Four did. At any rate, I do like the traditional vision of Latveria that you described and hope that they run with that.
I would totally be down for some Savage Land action.
