For some, the first four episodes of Daredevil: Born Again fell short of expectations. Others, it turned out, enjoyed the lighter tone and lighter tones. Wherever your tastes fell on that spectrum, with Episode 6, “Excessive Force”, the series pivoted aggressively, starting down a far darker path. Episode 5, “With Interest”, bridged the gap between light and dark, allowing Charlie Cox to collect some serious aura farming, slinging and swinging swag instead of billyclubs but by the time Angela del Toro goes missing, the devil that Matt Murdock let out for a brief romp in the daylight just can’t be out back in the bottle.
Simply enough, “Excessive Force” IS the episode fans of the Netflix series have been waiting for: the renaissance of The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. Complicating the matter, however, is that the rebirth of Daredevil coincides with the rebirth of the Kingpin. With his fractured relationship with Vanessa healing quickly, Wilson Fisk finally lets his darker half resurface. Complicating things for both men is the revelation that the City’s most popular street artist, Muse, is a sadistic serial killer with a body count of at least 60 bodies.
The series has consisted of a series of parallels and the creators allowed those to play out without rushing the inevitable right turn those paths would take, putting the two on an inevitable collision course. As it’s played out, Muse catalyzes collision by becoming something neither man can ignore and neither man can stop without resorting to the depths of their own darkness they had both sworn to leave behind.
In Matt’s case, Muse’s abduction of Angela del Toro forces him back into his armored suit. The result is a violent confrontation with the killer in his lair which Matt clearly enjoys…perhaps a bit too much. For Fisk, Muse’s spree gives him reason enough to pull together a goon squad of corrupt cops, far more akin to the type of people he “worked” with as the Kingpin than NYC’s finest. And, of course, the episode wouldn’t be complete without Fisk resorting to his own use of “excessive force”, reminding the audience of the brutality of the Fat Man…who is getting fat again. It’s taken some time but through the work of an artist with his own distinct style, Daredevil and Kingpin each experience a renaissance that will certainly put them as odds.
Despite chicken little claims about superhero fatigue, superhero projects remain king in the 21st century. Advancements in technology have allowed studios to tell stories, through films and streaming series, that 80s and 90s kids always dreamt of seeing. However, even as Hollywood continues to seek to advance and elevate the genre, the first modern superhero film still sets the standard in at least one aspect.
Released in 1998 (yes, the previous century), Stephen Norrington‘s Blade, starring Wesley Snipes, jumpstarted the superhero craze, making way for Sony to bring Sam Raimi‘s Spider-Man franchise to live and allowing for Fox to dream big with the X-Men. But despite the dozens of comic book movies that have followed it into theater’s, Blade continues to hold the championship belt for having THE best opening scene. Unmatched nearly 30 years later, the iconic “Blood Rave” blitzed unsuspecting audiences with a raw and visceral introduction to Blade’s world. Replete with hard-pumping music and harder-pumping action, the “Blood Rave” left its mark on fans and film makers alike.
Though it’s never been said outright, one of the last decade’s most beloved action franchises often feels as though it could have drawn inspiration from Blade‘s opening scene. Three of the four films in Keanu Reeves‘ John Wick franchise has featured an action-packed scene set in some sort of club that, like Blade’s “Blood Rave”, feels like it was crafted with the intention to overload the audience’s senses. And now, a karmic circle moment may be right around the corner.
According to Jeff “The In” Sneider, Marvel Studios May have lielned up John Wick franchise director Chad Stahelski to inject some life into its (un)dead Blade reboot.
A series of events that seems to long and painful to relive again here has resulted in Marvel Studios’ Blade remaining in development hell after first being announced in 2019. It’s enough to know that after years of stops and starts, the film was removed from the studio’s 2025 slate and never given a new release date. As director after director have left the project, fans have often called for Marvel to being in Stahelski, who has plenty of experience in both the superhero genre and with vampire projects and went on record in 2022 calling Blade “the one interesting thing” he would like to do at Marvel Studios, under one condition.
And he [Kevin Feige] actually asked me, ‘What could we ever do?’ I was like, ‘Look, I’m not going to lie to you. I don’t know if I fit that kind of studio mold, but Blade would be the one interesting thing I’d like to do. I don’t know if I would’ve been the best choice for that in the direction they wanted to go. If you want to do the edgy rated R version, yeah, give me a call. If you want to be non-apologetic, yeah. That’s me. But I think they’re protecting their brand, they’re doing their thing. The individual they selected, I think is a very good director, and I think will do a great job in the direction that I think they want to take the property.
More than a decade after Disney adapted Judith Viorst‘s beloved children’s book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, into a film starring Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner as the parents of the title character, the studio reunited with Sean Levy‘s 21 Laps Entertainment for a reimagined take on the tale. Written by Matt Lopez and directed by Marvin Lemus, Alexander and theTerrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip pays homage to both the book and the 2014 film through a very different lens. Stuffed with all the elements of a classic road movie, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip proves to be a tightly spun story that, thanks to its easily digestible runtime, plays as a tolerable, not-so-bad watch that fits the bill for a family looking for something appropriate to watch for all ages.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip follows 11-year-old Alexander and his family as they embark on a dream Spring Break vacation to Mexico City only to have all their plans go terribly wrong when they discover a cursed idol. The family is put to the test until they resolve to return the idol to its rightful home.
-Official synopsis for Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip
In looking to avoid a direct remake of 2014’s Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, the producers sought a “universal family experience” that would allow for a story full of challenges and experiences that would bring the family at the center of the new film closer together. And thus the road trip came to be. Road movies remain a staple of the American film industry and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip riffs on some of the classics. Full of the ridiculous mishaps that befall all families who dare pack up for a family vacation, the film channels National Lampoons Vacation, RV, Planes,Trains and Automobiles and, for just a minute, maybe even Thelma and Louise. Cars crash, folks get left behind and the family even loses their IDs and has to rely on a “scary” stranger they just met for some kindness. By the time it’s all over, however, everyone is exactly where they are meant to be and despite the chaos, the Garcia family comes out of it all in a better place than when it started.
If anything is holding the film back, it’s that the cast isn’t exceptionally strong. In an ironic twist, perhaps the best addition to the cast was Cheech Marin, who replaced George Lopez. Lopez had long been attached to the film as the Garcia family’s tough-talking, motorcycle-riding abuelo and would have certainly had fun in the role; however, Marin’s trademark high-energy delivery add a spark to an adult cast that sometimes sorely needs it. Landman‘s Paulina Chávez more than holds her own as Mia, the big sister to Thom Nemer‘s title character, whose belief in bad luck and a family curse seems to hold more water as the film moves on.
Alexander Garcia (Thom Nemer) has always believed he has the worst luck in the world, so when his mom Val (Eva Longoria) devises a plan to bring her seemingly disconnected family on a fancy vacation to Mexico City aboard a luxury RV as part of her travel writing job, he is sure it will end in disaster. Despite his fears, the family including dad Frank (Jesse Garcia), teen sister Mia (Paulina Chávez), Grandma Lidia (Rose Portillo), and Grandpa Gil (Cheech Marin) – set out, only to find absolutely everything is going chaotically, hilariously wrong. When the family discovers an ancient, cursed idol may be to blame, they must work together to return it to where it belongs.
-Official boilerplate for Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip
Presented as a fairly typical modern family, the Garcias begin the film seemingly without a real sense of who the other members of their family are. As road movies tend to do, the time together helps them understand themselves, each other and, in this case, their heritage. And, as Alexander comes to understand, bad luck is just good luck in disguise and not every day is so terrible, horrible or very bad after all.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip is now streaming on Disney Plus.
Marvel Studios’ impressive Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal had fans immediately wondering where the majority of the MCU’s biggest stars were. Sure, long-timers Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth and Sebastian Stan but plenty of questions arose about why Chris Evans, Lizzie Olsen, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Holland didn’t get their own fancy chairs. It wasn’t long before Marvel Studios calmed some of those concerns by teasing further casting announcements down the road. Even then, concerns arose over how big of a role any of those stars might play in the film with the already loaded cast. As it turns out, despite being consistently rumored to be a big factor in Avengers: Doomsday, one star may not have any role at all.
According to a report from Jeff “The In” Sneider, the omission of Holland from the casting reveal for Avengers: Doomsday was not because the studio planned to announce it at a later date but rather because the Spider-Man star won’t be in the film at all.
Every Marvel Studios’ project finds itself subjected to a near endless onslaught of reports, rumors and straight up bullshit but since Marvel struck a deal with Sony to incorporate Spider-Man into the MCU, the character seems to have a special place in the rumor mill. Since confirming Spider-Man 4 was set to head into production this summer, the status of Holland’s role in Doomsday has seemingly been in chaos. One day, Spidey is a main character; the next, he’s not. And now, he’s not in it at all because, as Sneider shared, Spider-Man 4 will be set synchronously with the events of Avengers: Doomsday. It would seem that Holland’s work on Christopher Nolan‘s Odyssey, in which he plays Telemachus, son of Odysseus, may have ultimately made it too tough to write his character into the script.
Should this indeed be the case, it would seem a near certainty that Holland will be ready to play a key role in Avengers: Secret Wars, closing out the Multiverse Saga and, perhaps, his time as the Web-Slinger. With Kevin Feige recently teasing the addition of Miles Morales to the MCU, it would seem as though the time is near for Holland to unburden himself of the great responsibility that comes with bringing one of Marvel’s most beloved characters to life.
As principal photography on the second season of the Disney Plus streaming series Daredevil: Born Again continues in New York City, the project continues to add to its already impressive cast.
With set photos revealing that NYC is under martial law with Mayor Wilson Fisk’s Anti-vigilante Task Force turning the Big Apple into a police state, some political pushback will be necessary and it seems as though Marvel has found an opponent.
According to Deadline, three-time Emmy nominee Lili Taylor has joined the cast as as yet unidentified “political foe” of Fisk.
Taylor’s role looks to have her board as a series regular in the eight-episode second season. After a creative retooling of Season 1, Season 2 will be run, start to finish, by Dario Scardapane with Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead returning to direct a block of episodes.
While it was nothing more than a line of empty chairs, Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal left fans with a whole lot of questions about what might be going on in the 2026 flick. We certainly have no idea but there seems to have been a few key cast reveals that might give some clues…
Wakanda Forever…and Ever
With the announcements of Letitia Wright, Winston Duke and, most surprisingly, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, it became clear that, once again, Wakanda will play a major role in an Avengers film. While Wakanda is likely still recovering from the devastating attack by Namor, the uneasy alliance with the Talokanil King does mean that not one but two Vibranium-powered armies stand ready to fight. However, if you don’t think Namor will stab Shuri in the back the minute it serves his best interests, which may actually align with Doom’s, you don’t know the man’s true nature.
Without a clear understanding of precisely what’s going to be going on in Avengers: Doomsday, it’s hard to say exactly what might be going on in Wakanda; however, it is worth remembering that Julia Louis-Dreyfus‘ Val made her ambitions to take over the country clear in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and she now has her own group of Avengers Thunderbolts* to help her reach her goals. Other intriguing options for the location exist as well, including–but certainly not limited to–a loose adaptation of Doomwar that would see Robert Downey Jr.’s villain on Earth-616 and after the precious metal and the delicious opportunity to see Ian McKellen‘s Master of Magnetism turned loose over the Vibranium Mounds of Wakanda. While Vibranbium is not magnetic in the comics, that has not been the case in the MCU.
The Thunderbolts Are Here to Stay…At Least Some of Them

Thunderbolts* doesn’t hit theaters for another five weeks but it now seems pretty clear that none of the members of the team will face any serious threat…other than poor Tasky. Whether or not Taskmaster makes it out of Thunderbolts* alive hardly seems like a major game-changer for the future of the MCU; to the contrary, however, the inclusion of Lewis Pullman‘s Sentry in Avengers: Doomsday does. Having a powerhouse like Sentry at her disposal puts Val in an enviable place, but are the Thunderbolts at her disposal? Is it Bucky’s team? Are they the U.S. Avengers now? Whatever the case, it seems as though The Watchtower will likely be visited in the film.
The fallout from Captain America: Brave New World is almost certain to ripple into both Thunderbolts* and Avengers: Doomsday. Without Ross in office, it’s worth wondering just how much pull Val might have in the government now and how she intends to use it. How might Sam react to Bucky leading a team of less-than-good guys? And what about that Adamantium? The inclusion of the Thunderbolts generates more questions than just about anyone on the cast list other than…
With the Multiverse likely at stake in Avengers: Doomsday, a trip to the Citadel at the End of Time and a visit to the man who sits on the throne there seemed inevitable. Within hours of the announcement that Tom Hiddleston had joined the cast of the film, theories had already begun to fly that Loki would fill the role played by Molecule Man in the different iterations of Marvel Comics’ Secret Wars events. Whether it’s to steal his powers for himself or use them to destroy the current iteration of the MCU, it seems as though Victor Von Doom will come face to face with Loki, God of Stories.
Avengers vs. X-Men
The inclusion of several of Fox’s original, early 2000s X-Men would seem to set up an incursion event that would see the heroes of Earth-616 take on a unified front of X-Men and members of the Brotherhood from whatever Earth these versions of Charles, Magneto, Cyclops et al are from. It seems relevant that while it’s clear members of the cast were left off the list, Marvel made sure to include Mystique actress Rebecca Romijn to make it clear that it would be all hands on deck when the two worlds collide. Call it Avengers vs. X-Men if you want but it seems like it will riff on Jonathan Hickman‘s Earth-616 vs. Earth-1610 Time Runs Out battle, forcing each world to fight until the end.
They’re Holding Back
Just as interesting as who was announced was, of course, who was not announced. By now, it’s been made clear by the studio that more stars will be joining the cast but that was already obvious. Very new rumors suggest that Tom Holland won’t be joining the film as Spider-Man 4 will be set concurrently with Avengers: Doomsday. Chris Evans is another notable omission, as is Lizzie Olsen, who recently claimed she will not be in either of the next two Avengers films. One name missing from the list that seems like a must (unless the studio has cooked up another project to deal with her character’s situation) is Teyonah Paris. The Multiverse Saga has been a mess but Monica’s presence in another reality is one of the only loose ends from the Saga that actually ties directly into what’s about to go down in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Beyond that, several characters have entered the MCU since the Russo brothers’ last go-around that seem like the type of characters they’d like to have some fun with. Tatiana Maslany‘s She-Hulk seems like a perfect match for the Russos’ sensibilities and might pair perfectly with Chris Hemsworth‘s Thor. Leaving Charlie Cox on the sidelines would seem like a severely missed opportunity to take advantage of his popularity. Finally, it would stand to reason that if the original X-Men are back, more members of that cast, potentially including Hugh Jackman, will join the fray eventually.
Piecing It Together
While the cast reveal didn’t give away any plot points, it did point to some plot-related points: key settings. If one imagines a story structure similar to that of Avengers: Infinity War, it’s possible that Avengers: Doomsday might have 10-12 different settings. From the castings, it’s possible to deduce quite a few of them, though there’s always the chance one of two of these won’t be visited.
Possible Key Settings
Wakanda
Talokan
The Watchtower in New York City
The “Binary” X-Men Universe
The Citadel at the End of Time
Ta Lo
Latveria
The Fantastic Four Universe
Does Paul Rudd‘s presence mean another trip to the Quantum Realm? Possibly but we sure hope not, so leave it at 8 potential settings deduced from the casting. Allow for another 2 dozen or so characters to join the film and assume 2-4 more settings, depending on who joins the cast, and you’ve got yourself an event film…and maybe toss in Battleworld at the end to set up the next event film!
Without giving too much away about Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again, Charlie Cox‘s Matt Murdock looks to be in for a fight in Season 2. Photos from the set of the sophomore season have revealed Wilson Fisk’s AVTF enforcing martial law in broad daylight at the Mayor’s behest and a black suited Daredevil emerging from the river in an all black suit. Now, a new look at the suit reveals something that comic book traditionalists will love.
A video taken outside of the site used as Josie’s has provided a first look at Daredevil’s new season two suit which is complete with a comic book accurate addition.
Shown entering a very shut-down looking Josie’s, the video reveals a black suit that closely resembles the one worn by the character in the Shadowland event or the “Back in Black” suit from the 2015 Charles Soule and Ron Garney run. A still shot shared on Twitter reveals that the suit comes complete with a “DD” logo on the chest.
Though it’s not expected that Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again will adapt Shadowland, anything is possible. Marvel isn’t exactly known for their direct page-to-screen adaptations but rather cutting and pasting highlights into various projects. And while Shadowland is far from the best Daredevil stories, the Shadowland suit is one of Ol’ Hornhead’s best.
Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again is expected to stream on D+ in 2026.
For no discernible or logical reason at all, fandoms–and in particular Marvel fans–have developed and peculiar and excruciatingly idiotic obsession with runtimes of films and episodes of streaming series. Without ever seeing a Marvel Studios production, a growing breed of fan believes it can judge the quality of that production by its runtime. Ahead of the debut of Daredevil: Born Again, the runtimers focused their faux rage on the series’ fifth episode when a social media source revealed it would only run for a paltry 39 minutes. One month later, “With Interest” hit Disney Plus and while you can’t please everyone, the episode has widely been hailed as one of the best not just of the revival series but of any of Charlie Cox‘s four seasons as The Man Without Fear…but there’s just one problem.
Before addressing that problem–which, like the runtime obsession, seems to be a vestigial construct from the great COVID new media shortage of 2020–all due props must be given to Charlie Cox. As the kids are saying, “With Interest” was essentially an aura showcase for Cox, who flexed every fiber of his formidable talent as the charming and disarming Matt Murdock who has been the focus of the first chunk of the season. Whether in casual conversation with Mohan Kapur‘s Yusuf Khan or distracting the crazy Irish fucks robbing a bank on St. Patrick’s Day (where are the MacManus brothers when you need them?), Cox slayed it as Murdock in the episode. But the time has come for Murdock to take a backseat and let the devil out of the bottle.
Throughout the first four episodes, Matt has slowly been losing control of the devil he’s tried to keep bottled up. In “With Interest”, the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen breaks the bottle, kicks the shit out of some bank robbers and gets back in the habit of saving his city. “With Interest” does in 39 minutes what many of the 39 episodes of the Netflix series couldn’t quite do: deliver a slice-of-life episode that stars its star. And while most critics and fans enjoyed it as a “filler episode”, that’s just not what it is.
“With Interest” certainly fits neatly within the criteria that define a bottle episode: minimal cast, one main location, little-to-no major CGI, etc. However, tagging it as a filler episode is, at best, reductive. Without spoiling the remaining three episodes (Episode 6 aired right after and you’ve already seen it if you’re reading this), Episode 5 serves essentially as a bridge from the bright new life that Matt wanted so badly to live back to the darkness that comes with being Daredevil. For four episodes, Matt fought with all his might to be someone he wasn’t. In “With Interest”, Matt–maybe for the first time in his life–stopped fighting. In cutting from 13 episodes per season to 9 in this first season of Daredevil: Born Again, no room was left for filler. Step back and take a big picture look at what’s been going on and you might just reframe your thoughts about “With Interest” and see it for what it is: a killer, very comic book-like adventure for Matt Murdock before things turn Netflix dark.
For nearly five hours, Marvel Studios had as many as 10 million fans on the edges of their seats by showing them…empty seats. In a barely-teased-but-definitely-not announced social media live stream, the cast of Avengers: Doomsday–or at least a good chunk of it–was revealed one at a time. By the time Robert Downey Jr. took a seat in his chair, the cast had grown to 27 members, many of whom were not part of any of the incredible amount of rumors about the 2026 project.
While it’s unlikely the entire cast, or even the entire main cast, has been revealed, let’s take a look at the biggest surprises from the event.
Fox’s OG X-Men
While Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen had previously been rumored to be working with Marvel Studios on something, nobody had the returns of Alan Cumming, James Marsden and Rebecca Romijn on their bingo cards. Kelsey Grammer‘s Dr. Hank McCoy is set to return as well but it’s unclear if he’ll be the Earth-10005 Beast, the “Binary” universe Beast or if those two universes are the same, as has been theorized by many. Just what these heroes will be up to in the film remains to be discovered but it sure looks like the pieces could be in place for some Avengers vs. X-Men shenanigans.
Ch’ah Toh Almehen Is Back
It’s not too surprising to see Wakanda play some role in another MCU event film. It is, however, somewhat surprising to see Ch’ah Toh Almehen, aka K’uk’ulkan, aka El Niño sin Amor, aka Fish Man, aka Namor back in action for Avengers: Doomsday. Tenoch Huerta Mejia‘s name was the first real surprise of the day and fans are already dreaming of the potential interactions between Namor and Vanessa Kirby‘s Sue Storm and wondering just how much rizz the King of Talokan will lay on the Invisible Woman.
Cap’s Wingman…

Incredibly, despite potentially being the most annoying character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Danny Ramirez‘s Joaquin Torres is tagging along with Anthony Mackie‘s Captain America to… take on Doctor Doom? Worst case scenario: He does a few Fortnite dances and acts like an overgrown high schooler; best case scenario: Magneto strips him of his Falcon gear in mid-flight, and we never see the character again.
Shang-Chi Stays in the Lineup
When the film was originally being developed as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, word was that it was essentially a sequel to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. When Marvel scrapped the original idea and pivoted to Doomsday, Destin Daniel Cretton, who directed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and was on board for The Kang Dynasty, left. At that point, it seemed as though Simu Liu‘s character would have to wait a while before making his way back to the big screen. Obviously the size and importance of his role in Doomsday remains to be discovered but Shang-Chi does possess some of the most powerful weapons in the MCU and does have access to the realm of Ta Lo and a pretty cool dragon.
A Pair of Powerhouses
With both Chris Hemsworth and Lewis Pullman, Avengers: Doomsday will feature two characters who are purt near indefatigable, invincible or otherwise really hard to kill. The real question here, though, is…whose side will Sentry be on? And if he’s not on Thor’s side, can Thor survive a tussle with him?
The orchestrated reveal was drawn out with each actor being revealed as their “director’s chairs” were placed on what appearee to be a sound stage at Pinewood Studios in the UK where the film is now in production. While many of the cast members were previously known or expected, the event did reveal a few surprises. The reveal also served as the rollout for a slightly updated new logo.
Letitia Wright‘s Shuri, now the MCU’s Black Panther, will return for the first time since 2022 and, shockingly, will be joined by Tenoch Huerta Mejia, who will return as Namor. The pair will be joined by fellow Black Panther franchise star Winston Duke.
Paul Rudd‘s Scott Lang, who would have played a major role in the previous iteration of the film, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, was one of the surprise additions to the ensemble cast. Simu Liu, who would have also played a major part in the same project was another surprise addition as well as Kelsey Grammer’s Beast, last seen in The Marvels. However, no surprise will please fans more than that of Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki returning to the Multiverse Saga…
and no surprise will be bigger than the revelation that Ian McKellen will reprise the role of Magneto! McKellen will be joined by original Fox X-Men trilogy stars Patrick Stewart and Alan Cumming, who will return as Charles Xavier and Nightcrawler, respectively. They’re joined by original X-trilogy baddie, Rebecca Romijn‘s Mystique and James Marsden who played a criminally underused Cyclops.
It turns out the OG X-Men (plus alt universe Beast) aren’t the only ones playing a role as Channing Tatum, who made a name for himself as Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine, will return for the fifth Avengers film.
The reveal, which certainly did not contain the entire cast, ended with Robert Downey Jr. taking the stage.
