Nia DaCosta’s Captain Marvel sequel is a reminder of how much fun comic book storytelling can be.
Warner Bros. Discovery’s old cinematic universe of DC Comics adaptations is essentially dead at this point. But in case you were feeling nostalgic for Henry Cavill’s Superman or Cara Delevingne’s Enchantress, most of the DCEU is making its way to Netflix this December.
Netflix’s Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is an “anime” the same way Justin Trudeau is the president of Canada. But if the series’ opening credit sequence is any indication, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is going to resonate with the North American otaku set when it hits Netflix on November 17th.
Somehow (see: the relentless passage of time) Loki season two is already two episodes out from its big finale. And this new teaser Marvel’s just dropped makes it seem like the Asgardian god of mischief (and friends) are going to be busy as hell keeping the universe from falling apart as this latest chapter draws to a close.
The second season of Amazon’s Invincible series feels plugged right into Hollywood’s current obsession with multiverses, but it’s taking notes directly from its classic comic’s source material.
Marvel’s new Daredevil: Born Again Disney Plus series seemed to be in trouble earlier this month when the studio dismissed co-head writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman, and announced that it planned to bring on a proper showrunner to lead the project.
It wasn’t clear then just how long the hunt for a showrunner might take, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel has just tapped Dario Scardapane — who showran Netflix’s The Punisher — to step in.

The assassin at the heart of Netflix’s adaptation of The Killer from director David Fincher has to be extremely good at what he does in order to stay in business.
But rather than putting an emphasis on its central character’s unique talents, The Killer’s latest trailer emphasizes that the most important thing about being an assassin is not giving fuck about getting your hands dirty.
Amazon’s Prime Video announced yesterday that the trailer is now on YouTube after showing it off at New York Comic Con.
It’s not long until the season’s November 3rd debut. But if you’re eager to get your fix (and haven’t seen it yet), check out the 47-minute Invincible Atom Eve episode that Prime Video put up in July.
Loki’s second season feels like the MCU making a valiant attempt at getting its multiverse together.
It can be really interesting to hear creators talk about how much money streaming studios like Netflix pour into their projects. But Scott Pilgrim Takes Off executive producer BenDavid Grabinski’s recent assertion to Empire magazine that the animated series would cost more than a “live-action” version of James Cameron’s Avatar raises more questions than it answers.
It has been forever since star Jason Momoa and director James Wan were initially linked to DC’s Aquaman franchise, and now its second movie is set for release on December 20th.
Following The Flash and Blue Beetle, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is now set to close out DC and Warner’s old comic book universe before the new James Gunn-led one starts with Superman: Legacy in 2025.
Netflix’s One Piece succeeds where other live-action anime adaptations have failed by understanding its limits and knowing how to work within them.
Filmmaker James Gunn shared the news on Instagram last night (via Deadline). Sorkin had a long acting career in Television, most notably as Harley Quinn in Batman: The Animated Series.
In fact, the character existed because of her. No, really — Paul Dini, who brought us the series, based the character on a scene from Days of Our Lives featuring Sorkin in a clown suit.
Director Ángel Manuel Soto’s new Blue Beetle movie checks all the flashy, formulaic boxes Warner Bros. should have been focusing on when it first started trying to build a modern cinematic universe.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is a classic retelling of its pizza-obsessed heroes’ origin story that’s elevated by phenomenal art direction.
Whereas most comics adaptations tend to fiddle around with the tone and visual language that defined the source material they’re based on, Apple’s forthcoming Strange Planet looks and sounds almost like a carbon copy of creator Nathan W. Pyle’s webcomics that took the internet by storm a few years back.
Honestly? It’s sort of hard to tell whether this is a good thing, or not.
AMC debuted a trailer for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon during the San Diego Comic-Con yesterday (via Deadline).
In it, we see Dixon find out he’s to transport a young child across the dead-ridden wastes of France to save the world, which sounds awfully familiar. But whatever, I’m always down for more Norman Reedus.
When the X-Men animated series theme song started playing in Disney Plus’ Ms. Marvel series, it was obvious that Something Big™ was going on with the only Inhuman still bopping around the MCU. When Ms. Marvel recently died quite suddenly and unceremoniously in Marvel’s comics, it seemed as if that Something Big™ was finally coming to a head, and now that brings us here.
Noted comics nerd and Ms. Marvel actress Iman Vellani’s penning a new Ms. Marvel comic, and — shocker — she’s becoming a mutant.
Adult Swim’s My Adventures with Superman reimagines the Man of Steel as the charming, bumbling heart of a classic but modern shonen trio.
Samuel L. Jackson and Olivia Colman shine in Marvel’s new Disney Plus show, which feels more like a souped-up Agents of SHIELD TV event than a proper spy thriller.
Romita Sr was known for his major contributions to Marvel Comics, co-creating notable Marvel characters like Wolverine and the Punisher, and introducing characters like Mary Jane Watson, Kingpin, and the Vulture to The Amazing Spider-Man series.
His passing was confirmed by his son (and fellow comics artist) John Romita Jr in a Twitter post on Tuesday.
While the core conceit of Warner Bros. Discovery’s The Flash is solid, the movie’s too-meta nostalgia plays highlight everything that has gone awry with the studio’s superhero movie experiment.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse deepens the mythos of Miles Morales by turning one of the ugliest parts of Spider-Man’s fandom into a canonical conundrum.
Sony’s Across the Spider-Verse isn’t just a breathtaking work of art — it’s a seminal piece of Spider-Man storytelling that rightfully establishes Miles Morales as this generation’s definitive webhead. Across the Spider-Verse’s trailers alone have been tremendous, but check out our review to read more about what makes the movie work so, so well.
At Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s LA premiere this week, producer Amy Pascal teased that Miles Morales is definitely making his live-action debut in the near future, and Sony’s already working on another Spider-Man starring Tom Holland:
“We’re in the process, but the writers strike, nobody is working during the strike. We’re all being supporters and whenever they get themselves together, we’ll get started.”
Sony’s Into the Spider-Verse sequel is a bigger, bolder, more ambitious film than its predecessor — and a powerful deconstruction of Marvel’s Spider-Man mythos.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) is very quickly getting into “the whole movie’s been spoiled by trailers” territory.
But Sony’s latest ad spot is a: a great introduction to Karan Soni’s Pavitr Prabhakar, and b: a useful note about one of the more important things all Spider-People have in common aside from the whole tragically losing loved ones thing.
With The Marvels’ new trailer comes a reminder that Ms. Marvel’s family heirloom — the mysterious bangle that unlocked her energy-manipulation powers — might just be the snazziest piece of wearable comics-inspired tech the MCU’s seen yet.
