For the third day in a row, Netflix is streaming a whole bunch of news about its upcoming shows, movies, and games. Today’s once again takes place at 4PM ET, and will include, among other things, a first look at the film Damsel with Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown.
Leading the way this week is The Marvels, which, it turns out, is actually quite fun. Dream Scenario is also in theaters (it was one of our favorites from TIFF this year) this weekend, while David Fincher’s The Killer is now streaming on Netflix.
Elsewhere, Loki just wrapped up its second season on Disney Plus, The Invincible brings a hard sci-fi adventure to next-gen consoles and PC, Apple Arcade hit Air Twister is finally on PC and console, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s huge wave of new tracks is now complete.
Netflix hasn’t really let up its push into anime, and the latest example is its adaptation of the Onmyōji fantasy novels. The series starts streaming on November 28th, but you can check out a new clip from the first episode right now — which features a cute frog and a not-so-cute snake.
The creators of Cobra Kai are back with what’s described as “a high octane action-comedy that tells the story of an elite special forces team who thwarts a deadly threat to Las Vegas.” You can get a sense of that in the clip below, before the whole series starts streaming on November 30th.
The first teaser for The Brothers Sun is short, but it packs in a lot, from a fight in a dinosaur suit to Michelle Yeoh drilling into a dead body. Not sure what else you need. The dark action comedy hits Netflix on January 4th.
Yesterday’s Geeked Week showcase featured the first trailer for Avatar: The Last Airbender, confirmation of a second season of Arcane, and an excellent Ultraman trailer. Today’s — which kicks off at 4PM — is expected to have new details on 3 Body Problem and the live-action adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho. You can watch it live in the video below.
If you’re looking for a distraction on this Friday morning, Nintendo has a site where it’s posting info on all of its own Famicom games. So far the detailed game pages only go up to 1986, and everything is in Japanese, but it’s a real blast of nostalgia scrolling through all of the Zelda, Mario, and Metroid art.
The video game adaptations just keep coming. This time it’s The Dragon Prince — which is getting a sixth season next year — being turned into an RPG. The Dragon Prince: Xadia launches next year.
It’s hard to know what to expect from an animated Dreamworks film written by Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich), but the first trailer for Netflix’s Orion and the Dark looks surprisingly... normal. Maybe that’ll change when we see the full movie, which starts streaming in February.
