Canvas, Webtoon's platform for user-uploaded comics, is about to get a major overhaul that's designed to help creators make more money and share their art with a wider audience.

The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is finally here, and it looks like Marvel and Sony are about to put Peter Parker through a different kind of existential crisis.

Though nobody in Brand New Day's trailer knows who Peter (Tom Holland) is or that he's the one saving people as Spider-Man, he still has vivid memories from the past when he was still close with MJ Watson (Zendaya) and Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon). Peter seems to have made peace with his "new" life as a secret crimefighter butting heads with villains and other New York vigilante fixtures like the Punisher (Jon Bernthal). But with all memory of him erased, life is lonely …

Though it's going to be a while before we see more of Sony's animated Spider-Verse or Marvel's live-action take on Peter Parker, Amazon's Spider-Noir series is right around the corner.

Today, Amazon dropped a new trailer for its upcoming Spider-Noir starring Nicolas Cage as a brooding Spider-Man variant. Set in an alternate reality where it's still the 1930s, Spider-Noir follows private investigator Ben Reilly (Cage) as he gets back into the crimefighting game as the hero known as "The Spider." As his city's only superhero, Reilly knows that he's the only person with the necessary skills to deal with threats like mob boss Silvermane (Brenda …

When Marvel first announced that Avengers: Doomsday would be directed by the Russo Brothers and star Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, it seemed like the studio might be using the feature as a massive nostalgia play. Though the film will feature a number of characters from more recent projects like Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the studio made a big deal out of revealing that Chris Evans will reprise his role as Steve Rogers. It's not clear whether Doomsday will bring back even more actors from the original Avengers whose characters either died or aged out of the team. But the project feels primed to work as a kind of re …

A little over a year ago, Marvel spent the better part of an entire day slowly revealing the massive cast for Avengers: Doomsday. More recently, the studio started dropping teaser trailers featuring some of the movie's more notable superhero team-ups and returning characters. There was already plenty of hype around the project, which seems poised to rework a significant chunk of the MCU. But the House of Mouse wants to get fans foaming at the mouth for the Avengers' biggest outing yet, so now there's a clock counting down to the next time we'll see them on the big screen - which is almost a year away.

Along with yet another teaser, this one …

The first trailer for DC Studios' Supergirl feature is finally here to give us a look at what the Woman of Tomorrow is made of.

Though Superman's (technically) older cousin Kara Zor-El (Millie Alcock) was kind of a mess when we first met her, she's trying to pull it together in Supergirl's new trailer. The last daughter of Krypton needs her wits about her in order to help Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley) - an young alien girl who's looking for justice after her father is murdered by deep space pirate Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts).

This first look opens with Supergirl celebrating her 23rd birthday, before getting pulled int …

James Gunn has been coy about his plans for a follow-up to this year's excellent Superman movie, but the writer / director is finally sharing some concrete news about what's next for the Man of Steel. Gunn announced in an Instagram post today that the Superman sequel will be titled Man of Tomorrow and hit theaters on July 9th, 2027.

The Instagram post included a Jim Lee illustration of Superman and Lex Luthor in one of his Warsuits, which could mean we'll be seeing David Corenswet fighting Nicholas Hoult in a ridiculous armored suit. And it seems as …

Ryan Coogler's first Black Panther feature set itself apart by pushing audiences to think about how comic book heroes and villains would fit into a world shaped by horrors like the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Black Panther and its 2022 sequel, Wakanda Forever, used their characters to comment on our reality's complicated and oftentimes ugly history as it relates to race and geopolitical conquest. And the films were so successful at the box office that Marvel made a point of locking in Coogler's Proximity Media production outfit for a multiyear deal to develop new projects for Disney Plus.

It was from that deal that Marvel's Ironheart series …
