Wonder Man continues to be one of Marvel’s most enigmatic projects. Announced via trade report in June 2022, the series was created by Spider-Man: Brand New Day director Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest but was never acknowledged by the studio until Marvel Parliament member Stephen Broussard confirmed it was happening in a 2023 interview. Incredibly enough, despite being filmed on location in and around Los Angeles, production began and ended with very few set photos or plot leaks, leaving only rumors and speculation about the show’s true nature and some to believe it only to be a product of the Mandela Effect.
Via Discussing Film, a new in-universe promo for Wonder Man has been released that provides some intriguing new details about the series.
Based on the character of Wonder Man, one of Marvel’s oldest characters, first introduced in 1964 in the pages of Avengers No 9. Known as Simon Williams, a celebrity actor and stuntman. In a nutshell, it is a story of two actors struggling to make it in the Hollywood of the MCU, [asking] the big question what does Hollywood look like in a world where super heroes are real?
-First synopsis for Marvel Television’s Wonder Man
The eight-episode Marvel Spotlight series was heavily influenced by the comics and was described by Winderbaum as a “love letter to Hollywood.” It’s also been rumored to satirize the filmmaking industry and the new promo seems to confirm that.
In it, actor Zlatko Burić is in character as Von Kovak, an MCU in-universe “award-winning director” who is remaking Wonder Man, a classic superhero film.
Award-winning director Von Kovak tells us why his remake of the classic film ‘WONDER MAN’ will be one of the best superhero movies of all time.

This all tracks with what little we’ve seen of the project, which included Abdul-Mateen‘s Simon Williams auditioning for Wonder Man. At this point, it seems safe to assume a full first teaser trailer for the project will debut this weekend.
According to James Gunn, the events of last night’s Peacemaker Season 2 finale will have major repercussions for the DCU’s ongoing narrative…just not for the next season of Peacemaker.
The finale ended Rick Flag Sr. getting uns revenge for for the death of his son at the hands of Peacemaker. After starting a new organization, Checkmate, with the 11th Street Kids and a couple of new friends, John Cena‘s Chris Smith was stranded by Flag on a planet called “Salvation.” In an interview with Deadline, Gunn explained that while both Checkmate and Salvation are “two important aspects” of the DCU’s future even though they won’t be explored in a third season of Peacemaker.
“Well, those are the two things that were always a part of this season,” said Gunn of the intriguing new planet and the anti-A.R.G.U.S. startup. “So when we sat down, even before I sat down with the writers room in DC, I had sort of mapped out what I thought the general story was, and two important aspects to that were Checkmate and especially Salvation, so those were things that I had pitched to everybody before we ever came into DC and then after we came into DC and we met with the writers room and worked things out a little bit more. That was always pretty instrumental in the overall, overarching story that I’m telling in the DCU, but also connected to it as well.”
Despite being introduced in Peacemaker, the next steps for both Checkmate and Salvation won’t be explored in a third season of the streaming series because, according to Gunn, he has no current plans for additional seasons. “This is about the wider DCU and other stories in which this will play out right now,” said Gunn. “That doesn’t mean that there won’t be [a third season of Peacemaker]. I don’t want to never say never, but right now, no, this is about the future of the DCU. It’s an important character.”
Gunn maintains that Peacemaker will remain an important character in the DCU and indicated that Checkmate will be “a part of what’s going to happen” in the growing shared universe. Given that Gunn previously stated the streaming series serves as a prequel to his next project, the 2027 film Man of Tomorrow, it seems as though fans can count on the characters to return, though for now the DC Studios’ co-chair chose to remain quiet in that front, calling that information a “secret.”
Following the fallout of its failure with 2025’s live-action Snow White, Disney pumped the brakes on its planned live-action reimagining of 2010’s Tangled. At the time, trade reports alleged that the studio wanted to evaluate the success of its next two live-action reimaginings, Lilo & Stitch and Moana, before moving ahead. Apparently, they’ve seen enough.
According to Deadline, Disney is “resuming early development” on its Tangled reimagining, keeping director Michael Gracey on board while also courting Scarlett Johansson to play the film’s baddie, Mother Gothel.
Prior to pausing development in the film, the Tangled reimagining, rumors had stars such as Florence Pugh, Kathryn Hahn and Jennifer Lopez attached to the project. Should Johansson indeed take on the role of Mother Gothel, it would be interesting to see if Pugh–who worked with Johansson on Black Widow–might look to wrap up the role of Rapunzel.
Production on Spider-Man: Brand New Day may have slowed a bit following Tom Holland‘s concussion but even with the star on the mend, the show went on. Now with Holland back in action, a new batch of set photos has hit social media, revealing one of the film’s villains.
The photos show Mando‘s Gargan in the same white prison scrubs he was wearing in the post-credit scene to Spider-Man: Homecoming. That detail likes up with rumors about a major chase scene involving Jon Bernthal‘s Frank Castle trying to take out Gargan with Spidey acting as an interloper.
Over the past few years, fans have shared plenty of opinions about where Marvel Studios Multiverse Saga went wrong. While some place the blame on individual projects, others find fault in the premise, believing it was doomed to fail with general audiences struggling to find interest in alternate realities. Whether it’s one, the other or a little bit of both, the end is nigh and the big shots behind the scenes at the studio have remained relatively quiet about the struggles.
Sure, under Bob Iger’s second term, there’s been a mandatory reduction in content and some rebranding meant to make projects more accessible, pivoting from the “It’s All Connected” era. According to Marvel’s head of streaming, television and animation, Brad Winderbaum, the rebranding was meant as a “signal to the general audience that we’re creating a lot of options, and you can follow your tastes within this brand.”
We’re trying to dispel the idea that you need to do any kind of setup work to watch anything else.
-Brad Winderbaum
To that end, the studio attempted to make it clear that its latest theatrical release, The Fantastic: Four First Steps, was “homework-free,” requiring to prior knowledge of the MCU. The same idea holds mostly true with Marvel Animation’s recently released Marvel Zombies, which spun out of one 30-minute episode of the first season of What If…?. Despite garnering underwhelming reviews, the TV-MA series has been wildly popular on D+, leading to speculation that a second season could be given the green light relatively soon.
In a world where viewership matters most, Marvel Zombies looks to be another in a string of successes for the studio as it looks to right the Multiverse ship. In an interview with CBR, TV boss Winderbaum explained why the project works while addressing the “valid criticisms” of the studio’s Multiverse narrative.
“I think one of the valid criticisms of multiverse storytelling is that when you have multiple realities, the stakes diminish,” Winderbaum explained. “But there’s another way to look at it when you have the opportunity (with) something like Marvel Zombies, where actually it raises the stakes quite a bit to be in a pocket universe outside of the MCU. Where death feels very final, and we don’t have to worry about putting the toys back in the toy box unbroken. We can really make a mess.”
Winderbaum’s comments are more than just talk. In both the zombie episode of What If…? and in Marvel Zombies, high-profile heroes were subjected to Mortal Kombat-esque violence, something that just isn’t possible in live-action, making them ideal Multiverse stories. “The fact that the audience might not know what’s coming, because all bets are off,” he continued. “There’s no guarantee for anybody. People come in this cold, they’re truly surprised. They have literally no idea what we’re about to pull on them.”
Unafraid to put a point on it, Winderbaum levied his own criticism against the Multiverse Saga stories, citing a lack of stakes.
“I think, you know, for better or for worse, it’s been missing a little bit. You go into someone’s franchise movie, and it’s like ‘You’re making it out at the end!’ And the filmmakers are doing the best they can to build some tensions, so you worry. And they do, and that’s great,” explained Winderbaum. “But in this, it’s just like, no, there’s no guarantees for anything. It’s a whole different type of viewing experience.”
Given his position at the studio as both the D+ gatekeeper and a member of the Marvel Parliament, fans might want to take Winderbaum‘s comments to heart and as a sign that the studio’s course correction isn’t simply superficial.
After rolling the dice in an auction to acquire the rights to develop author Katherine Rundell’s Impossible Creatures novels into films, Disney is hoping to have found its own fantasy phenom.
Like Harry Potter, The Maze Runner and The Hunger Games, Impossible Creatures has quickly grabbed the attention of studio heads as the first two novels in what is now planned as a five part series rocketed to #1 on children’s book charta across the globe. Rundell, an Oxford professor, won Author of The Year and the first novel, Impossible Creatures, won Children’s Book of The Year at 2024 British Book Awards. The sequel, The Poisoned King, races to #1 on charts as well, kicking off a studio scramble that includes Disney, Warner Bros. and Netflix, with the House of Mouse coming out on top.
When I read Impossible Creatures, I knew it belonged here at Disney. I was immediately drawn into the vibrant world Katherine imagined and the possibilities of what we could do together with this story. Written by Katherine herself, these movies are in the best of hands with our Walt Disney Studios team, and I can’t wait to see this tale brought to the screen.
-Disney CEO Bob Iger
An epic fantasy adventure that plunges two unlikely young heroes into a secret world where all the creatures of myth are real—and in grave danger, Impossible Creatures is the kind of IP Disney has been craving as it has slowed the pace of production by its major studio brands.
The first irdt novel centers on a young boy from the human world, Christopher, and a fierce girl on the run from the magical world, Mal. Christopher’s life changes forever when he meets Mal, who appears with a baby griffin he saves from drowning. He is introduced to the Archipelago, a hidden cluster of unmapped islands in the Atlantic where creatures like dragons, unicorns, sphinxes, and kraken have thrived for millennia.
However, the Archipelago is dying. The magic, known as the “Glimourie,” is fading, and the mythical creatures are perishing. Mal and Christopher embark on an urgent quest, traveling across the wild islands to discover the source of the magical crisis. They must consult sphinxes for secrets, battle fearsome monsters, and negotiate with dragons, all while being pursued by a dangerous murderer.
As part of the deal, Rundell will develop screenplays for the first two films with Charles Collier via their Impossible Films production studio which worked in Paddington 2 and Wonka. And, of course, such a fantasy world may well lend itself nicely to Disney’s theme parks, where there is an entirely different amount of money to be made.
After sitting out the summer convention circuit, Marvel Studios will have a presence in the Big Apple this weekend where Marvel Television and Marvel Animation will provide an update on their respective upcoming projects. Per the official NYCC website, Up Next From Marvel Television and Marvel Animation will take place on Saturday, October 11th at 1:30 PM EST and feature “special guests” who will give “a look behind the scenes at Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ shows from Marvel Television and Marvel Animation.” What can fans expect? What should they not expect? Let’s think it through.
Part of the rebranding was a signal to the general audience that we’re creating a lot of options, and you can follow your tastes within this brand. Some will be more comedic, some will be more dramatic, some will be animated, some will be live-action.
-Brad Winderbaum
With Marvel’s streaming boss, Brad Winderbaum, having recently said that the studio was looking at viewership numbers before unleashing a second season of Marvel Zombies, it’s very possible that announcement could come at NYCC. The TV-MA show has been a hit, all but ensuring a return to the world run by the Dead Queen.
Speaking of second seasons, fans should certainly expect release windows and perhaps first looks at X-Men ’97 Season 2 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2, both expected to stream in 2026.
We will have a Spider-Man season every year if I have anything to say about it. What usually happens, as you know, in animation, is that there’s a bigger gap between Season 1 and Season 2 than in subsequent seasons, and that’ll be similar in Friendly. We will have to wait a little bit more than a year for Season 2, but then after that, it should come out on an annual cadence, hopefully.
-Brad Winderbaum
Given that animated projects are far easier to keep under wraps longer than live-action, it’s also possible that the studio could unveil a surprise on its 2026 streaming slate. With the success of X-Men ’97, fans have been hoping for Marvel to green light Spider-Man ’98 as a revival of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, though Winderbaum has done his best to temper expectations on that front. Still, animation holds incredible potential for Marvel, which is just only starting to be explored.
Marvel Television
More than any other of the studio’s divisions, Marvel Television has become a different entity since the Great Rebrand of 2024. As Winderbaum explained in a February interview with Screen Rant, the studio’s “priorities have shifted,” with the studio looking to produce “shows that can exist as annual releases, more like television.”
Unlike Daredevil: Born Again, the eight-episode Marvel Spotlight seriesWonder Man won’t be an annual release but it is a near-lock to be a major part of the NYCC panel. Very little is known about the project, which stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley and with it set to stream in December, fans should probably expect an updated logo to accompany a teaser trailer and a more defined release date. With its streaming debut 2-ish months away, the teaser may even be released online, allowing those not in attendance to catch a glimpse at what Winderbaum called “one of his favorite things ever.”
Another project shrouded in mystery, the Paul Bettany-led Vision series, will also likely be included in the presentation. After wrapping principal photography in the UK earlier this year, the studio should be up for sharing an official title, logo, artwork, release window and maybe a first look at some footage from the show, which is shaping up to be weird in all the best ways.
Marvel Television’s portion of the panel should also provide a logo, release window and synopsis for The Punisher Special Presentation that will serve as a bridge between Frank Castle’s last appearance in Daredevil: Born Again and his next appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The “shotgun blast of a story” was co-written by star Jon Bernthal and will be among the studio’s most highly-anticipated projects next year as it will likely feed the blood lust of the Netflixers.
Director Dan Trachtenberg breathed new life into the Predator franchise with 2022’s Prey which he followed up with Killer of Killers, an animated anthology that fundamentally reframed everything fans once believed they knew, opening the doors wide for new era of storytelling. The first chapter in that new era will be Predator: Badlands, also directed by Trachtenberg, who once again promises to deliver something audiences have never seen in a Predator film.
Where Killer of Killers expand the Yautja’s role in the history of the AVP universe and pulled the curtain back a bit more on the franchise’s killing machines, the Yautja, Badlands looks to expand on that, revealing more of what makes the species tick and by making one of them, Dek, the film’s protagonist rather than it’s Boogeyman. With just one month to go until the film’s release, 20th Century Studios has released a new trailer for the film, along with a synopsis that highlight not only Dek’s dangerous journey but also his partnership with Elle Fanning‘s Weyland-Yutani synth, Thia.
Set in the future on a deadly remote planet, Badlands follows a young Predator outcast (played by newcomer Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) who finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Elle Fanning) as he embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.
-Synopsis for Predator: Badlands
While visiting the set of Predator: Badlands, Screen Rant spoke with producer Ben Rosenblatt, who shed some light on Thia, who will spend a great deal of the film on Dek’s back.
On this journey, he meets a Weyland-Yutani synth who has been severed in half and stuck in a nest on the planet waiting for some way to help get out of there. So the backstory on that is Weyland-Yutani has sent an all-synth mission onto this planet to pursue the very same beast for their own purposes.
-Ben Rosenblatt
“The big idea is that we are trying to do a Predator movie where the Predator is the hero, the protagonist of the movie,” Rosenblatt explained “So our story follows an undersized predator.”
With a Yautja as the lead, Predator: Badlands will get a chance to follow Dek to Yautja Prime, the home planet of the alien species as seen in Killer of Killers, though that’s not the film’s primary setting. “It begins on Yautja Prime with this predator and his immediate family,” explained Rosenblatt, “and through a series of both exciting and tragic events, he’s set off on a journey on a foreign planet, and that’s where most of the film is taking place.”
Given what fans learned about the Yautja and their home planet in Killer of Killers, it seems possible that Predator: Badlands will share some connective tissue with the animated project and may set the stage for whatever Trachtenberg has in mind for the franchise’s next installment.
Predator: Badlands will hit theaters on November 7th
As it was rolled out to fans in Hall H at SDCC ’22, The Multiverse Saga was originally intended to be composed of an incredible 39 projects. However, as part of a mandate from Disney Head Honcho Bob Iger, Marvel Studios deployed the Time Ripper on the 3-phase saga, accelerating its end by cutting projects–both theatrical and streaming–including recently jettisoning a 2027 movie.
We’re slowly going to decrease volume and go to probably about two TV series a year instead of what had become four and reduce our film output from maybe four a year to two, or a maximum of three. And we’re working hard on what that path is.
-Bob Iger
The result was a net loss of at least two live-action films while projects such as Armor Wars, Blade, Nova, Strange Academy and Terror Inc. were shelved, in some cases forever. As 2025 enters the home stretch, only eight projects remain on the docket before The Multiverse Saga comes to a close. Ahead of NYCC ’25–where Marvel will update its streaming slate–we look at the remaining projects that pave the way to the end of what’s been a very rocky road for the studio.
TBD December 2025-Wonder Man
Joss Whedon may have hated on Simon Williams but thanks to Destin Daniel Cretton, the Avengers ionic engine will lead what’s been called “the best Marvel show” after early screenings.
Wonder Man is eight episodes. It’s a very new flavor for Marvel. It’s straight from the minds of Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest. Honestly, it is one of my favorite things ever. I think it’s the best show no one’s ever seen, and I’m very excited to see the audience reaction to it. I think it’s a love letter to what we do as filmmakers. It’s a love letter to acting as a profession, and it’s a very sincere, beautiful show.
-Brad Winderbaum
The eight-episode series, which Brad Winderbaum called “a two-hander between two amazing characters, this odd couple of Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery” will star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley in those respective roles. Heavily influenced by the comics, including Williams’ time as a West Coast Avenger, Wonder Man will satire the superhero genre by asking “what does Hollywood look like in a world where super heroes are real?”
TBD March 2026-Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
The first season of Marvel Television’s Daredevil: Born Again left Matt Murdock and crew up against it, with Mayor Kingpin having near total control of New York City. Season 2, which will see Krysten Ritter join the cast as drunk private dick Jessica Jones, which executive producer Jesse Wigutow described as “a singular vision,” is likely to be more akin to its Netflix predecessor than what the “jigsawed together” Season 1 ended up being.
Without giving too much away…when you’re working in what I would call the Hell’s Kitchen corner of the MCU, those iconic characters are always in your mind.
-Showrunner Dario Scardapane
Season 2 will tell “a big New York City story” with crime and politics at its center while exploring the unique relationship between Wilson Fisk and Matt Murdock.
TBD 2026-The Punisher Special Presentation
As Marvel Television continues to transition to the mid-10s Netflix era, Jon Bernthal‘s Frank Castle will find himself at the center of feature sometime in 2026. The Punisher Special Presentation will follow Castle, who was last seen escaping Kingpin’s dungeon prison, as he takes on organized crime, including Ma Gnucci.
It’s like a shotgun blast of a story, but also has all the pathos and emotion that you want out of a Frank Castle story.
-Brad Winderbaum
As one might expect, photos and videos from the New York City set of the project indicated it will be hyper-violent, feeding the blood lust of the TV-MA crowd. It also looks as though it will tee up the next chapter for Castle where he probably won’t be able to be quite so intense.
July 31, 2026-Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton walked away from the sequel to his 2021 film to jump on board Spider-Man: Brand New Day and it sounds as though he’s set to deliver a banger. While the details are a little murky, the fourth installment in the Spidey franchise is beginning to sound like it might be one of the studio’sost ambitious projects ever, with the Hulk, the Punisher and a slee of classic Spidey rogues, including Scorpion and Tombstone, all set to appear. Oh…and maybe that symbiote fragment that got left behind when Essie Brock visited.
[It] really feels like we aren’t making the fourth movie. We’re making the first movie in the chapter… This is a rebirth. This is something completely new.–Tom Holland
Star Tom Holland has made it clear that he wants to make something special for the fans and adding Cretton’s eye for action to the street-level Spidey story fans have been asking for is starting to sound like the right combination to make it happen.
TBD 2026-Untitled Vision Series
Like Wonder Man, the Paul Bettany-led Vision series has been developed and produced mostly under the radar. Originally developed by Jac Schaeffer, the project landed in the hands of Terry Matalas and it sounds as though it may be at least partially set in cyberspace where all manner of AI madness could unfold.
It’s about intergenerational trauma…fathers and sons and denial of pain and denial of your own truth and coming to terms with who and what you are.
In nearly two decades, Marvel Studios has never really dealt with what it is dealing with in Avengers: Doomsday. Despite bringing back its most successful directing duo and star, Marvel has been roundly criticized for nearly every choice it has made. Bringing back Robert Downey Jr. and the Russo brothers has been called desperation. Bringing in Fox’s original X-Men has been called fan service. And that may all turn out to be true but that doesn’t mean the film might not turn out to be alright.
Doctor Doom has officially arrived in the MCU. This villain, a master of cutting-edge science and powerful magic, will unleash a cascading crisis across the entire multiverse.
-First synopsis for Avengers: Doomsday
Believed to be inspired by Jonathan Hickman‘s work iconic Avengers and New Avengers runs, Avengers: Doomsday is rumored to see Earth’s Mightiest Heroes face off against the X-Men as their respective Earths are on course for an incursion. It will also feature the World of Wakanda and the TVA, allowing it to incorporate settings and characters from across the Multiverse Saga.
TBD 2027-Daredevil: Born Again Season 3
Recently renewed for a third season, Daredevil: Born Again remains, for the time being, Marvel Television’s flagship series. While it’s way too early to know much, rumors have begun to pop up that the third season may be a Defenders reunion with Elektra and Luke Cage among those believed to be joining the show. Filming on Season 3 will kick off next Spring in New York City.
December 17, 2027-Avengers: Secret Wars
All bets are off when it comes to Avengers: Secret Wars. Anthony and Joe Russo returned to the studio to tell this story, so while Avengers: Doomsday has been a bit turbulent, it’s likely the duo have something special in store for the Multiverse Saga finale.
Really what happened was, we ended up stumbling upon an idea that activated all of us. You couldn’t see it coming until it came, and once it came it was like, “Well, that’s a story we need to tell.”
-Joe Russo
Production will commence next year, with the brothers working off a script from Stephen McFeely and, perhaps, Michael Waldron. It’s expected to be influenced by both the original 1984 comic book event and the 2015 version which, of course, heavily featured Doctor Doom.
As Daredevil: Born Again entered the back half of its first season, the goal of the series’ creative retooling under the purview of Dario Scardapane became clear: make it Netflix-ier. Sure, with Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Wilson Bethel, Jon Bernthal and Ayelet Zurer all taking on major roles AFTER the overhaul, the new direction should not have come as a surprise but beginning with Episode 6, “Excessive Force”, the series pivoted aggressively, starting down a far darker path. The series continued to creep along in that darkness through the Season 1 finale setting up whatcm already feels more like Daredevil Season 4 than Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.
With production on the series taking place largely in view of the New York City public, plenty of photos and videos from the set of the sophomore season of Daredevil: Born Again made their way online. While you can’t safely infer too much from set photos, it does seem as though the new season will indeed dwell in the darkness fans of the Netflix series loved and, perhaps, room for more of the Defenders-verse characters to join the MCU.
Krysten Ritter joined the cast of Season 2 and Luke Cage star Mike Colter all but confirmed he was set to return as Harlem’s Hero but a new report from a trusted insider claims they won’t be alone. According to Daniel Richtman, Elodie Yung, who played Elektra in Daredevil and The Defenders, will return to the role in Daredevil: Born Again.
I have confirmed Elektra is coming back. Not sure if it’s for season 2 or 3.
-Daniel Richtman
Richtman was unable to confirm whether Yung was among the many Defenders-verse era actors rumored to appear in Season 2 or set to appear in Defenders Season 2Daredevil: Born Again Season 3, which films next Spring, though it’s worth pointing out both options are a possibility.
