The X-Men are about to offically join the MCU, and we’ve gotten a glimpse at some of the cast. But the bigger question is, what comic arc should they turn to for inspiration? And don’t say The Dark Phoenix Saga — they’ve already screwed that up… twice.
With the next chapter of the MCU continuing on after the well-received Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Disney brought Kevin Feige, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Hayley Atwell out at D23 on Friday to show off this new trailer for the next Avengers movie, which is scheduled for release on December 18th.
The Disney+ show premieres on October 14th, closing out a trilogy of series that began with WandaVision. VisionQuest sees the titular hero wrestle with his identity, chat with Ultron (in human avatar form), and search for his potential son.
Though the idea of a Star Wars and Marvel crossover comic sounds kind of terrible, that isn’t stopping Kevin Smith and artist David Marquez from working on Hope Assembles — a five-issue limited series that will “anchor the Star Wars franchise firmly in Marvel’s 616 universe” remix aspects of A New Hope.

Despite Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s success, the MCU is on shaky ground.
Tom Holland’s fourth stint as the web-slinging superhero brought in $927m in worldwide ticket sales, with $355m earned in North America alone. That makes it the second most lucrative opening weekend of all time both domestically and globally, behind only 2019’s Avengers: Endgame at $1.22b.
The writing has been on the wall about Marvel’s Blade movie starring Mahershala Ali being dead in the water, but in a new interview with GQ, the actor explains why he’s done talking about the project falling apart:
Those questions are for them. They didn’t want to do it, so they should answer that question.
A show almost canceled as a tax write-off before it ever aired is now canceled, according to Variety, despite Variety’s report that it was renewed in March.
Our S1 review mentioned that “by the end of the season, you get the sense that Simon and Slattery could go on to become one of Marvel’s more novel riffs on a superhero team,” and a source in today’s report says the show’s characters could pop up elsewhere in the currently-under-renovation-MCU.
With tickets going on sale today ahead of Spider-Man’s premiere on July 31st, Sony Pictures released a new nearly three-minute trailer to follow the March teaser that quickly racked up a billion views.
This new one still features a world that’s forgotten Peter Parker, and also highlights the movie’s villain, an invisible entity that seemingly takes over even Bruce Banner / Hulk.
Spider-Verse aside, it feels like Sony is just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.
It’s been a while since we heard anything new about Disney’s Agatha All Along followup, VisionQuest, but Disney has just pegged the series for an October 14th premiere.
Though we knew Jon Bernthal was co-writing a Punisher-focused streaming special for Disney Plus, the streamer has just announced that it will premiere on May 12th, right as the second season of Daredevil: Born Again comes to a close.
Though Disney almost put an end toMarvel’s Wonder Man series before it got a chance to stream, the studio is bringing it back for another season according to Variety.
Disney Plus is teasing Jessica Jones’ return to the MCU in this new teaser trailer for Daredevil: Born Again’s upcoming second season, and it looks like the detective is going to be knocking heads.
Disney Plus’ latest superhero series is dropping at a time when the MCU feels like it’s moving back to square one.
Teasers for Avengers: Doomsday continue to trickle out, and surprising no one — at least, no one who watched that hours-long cast reveal — the latest confirms that the new film will prominently feature the X-Men. Watch for a blink-and-you’ll miss it shot of a very emotional Cyclops.
Personally, I don’t have superhero movie fatigue. The powers aren’t the problem; I just think we need a little more comedy and a little less fate-of-the-world drama! This one is Wonder Man, an 8-episode miniseries coming January 27th to Disney Plus. It’s meta in more ways than one.
The short MCU clip that premiered exclusively before Avatar: Fire and Ash is finally accessible. See Chris Evans’ former Captain America drive a motorcycle, wear a jacket, and hold a baby. Didn’t Steve Rogers retire?
The film will be out on December 18th, 2026, so we have a year to wonder.
Around the same time the news came down that GTA VI would be delayed from May 2026 to November, Skydance Games has announced it’s delaying superhero action game Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra beyond it’s original early 2026 release window. Same with GTA VI, the delay was attributed to needing more time for polish and also like GTA VI, this is the game’s second delay.
More Trevor Slattery!
Check out the first full trailer below which prominently features Ben Kingsley. The eight-part series premieres January 27th, 2026 and appears to be about making an in-universe superhero film and clearly nods to the real world exhaustion with superhero flicks. We’ll have to wait and see if some self-aware jokes are going to be enough to keep Wonder Man from becoming another forgettable Marvel show, though.
First, Yahya Abdul-Mateen showed up at the Fantastic Four: First Steps premiere, giving in-character interviews as Simon Williams — the star of Disney Plus’ upcoming Wonder Man miniseries. And now, Marvel has dropped a Wonder Man teaser that makes it seem like the show will be about an in-universe superhero movie reboot.
Soon, Disney Plus subscribers will have access to a “curated selection of content” on a new digital comics platform that’s being developed by Disney and Webtoon. In addition to thousands of classic titles from the Marvel, Star Wars, and 20th Century Studios brands, the platform will feature original Webtoon series.
While Marvel has released TV-MA projects before, the new trailer for Marvel Zombies makes it look like the series is really going to earn that rating by piling on as much (animated) blood and guts as possible.
Sony decided to go the live-action route for its upcoming Spider-Verse spinoff series starring Nic Cage’s Spider-Man Noir, but Deadline reports that the studio is in the early stages of developing an animated Spider-Punk feature co-written by Ajon Singh (Primetime) and Daniel Kaluuya, who will presumably reprise his role as Hobie Brown.
The next Spider-Man movie from Sony Pictures is currently scheduled for release a year from now, on July 31st, 2026, to kick off a new trilogy of Holland-led movies in the MCU five years after the last entry, Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Now, Sony has posted the briefest teaser trailer possible for Spider-Man Day, celebrating textiles.
Disney Plus’ Eyes of Wakanda animated miniseries was slated to debut on August 6th, but the streamer has just bumped the show’s premiere up to August 1st and decided drop all four episodes at once.
