For the first time since Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko forged the Marvel Universe in the heart of Manhattan, the House of Ideas is leaving the Big Apple behind.
In a historic bombshell first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Disney-owned Marvel Comics has announced it is completely shutting down its iconic Midtown Manhattan publishing headquarters. The entire division is migrating to Burbank, California, effectively integrating the comic book arm directly into the greater Marvel Studios and Disney corporate machine on the West Coast. The monumental news was delivered directly to the staff during a town hall meeting inside the New York office, followed by an internal relocation memo.
The Changing of the Guard: New Editor-in-Chief Named
The massive geographical shift isn’t the only structural shakeup hitting the publisher. As part of this comprehensive West Coast overhaul, Marvel has officially named industry veteran Stephen Wacker as the company’s new Editor-in-Chief.
Wacker is a widely respected name in the comic community, having previously overseen highly successful, critically acclaimed eras of Amazing Spider-Manand Daredevilas a senior editor before transitioning to head up Marvel’s animation and television development divisions in Los Angeles. His unique dual experience makes him the ultimate bridge between the traditional print bullpen and Hollywood multimedia production.
Visually and culturally, Marvel Comics is New York City. Peter Parker swings past the Flatiron building; Matt Murdock protects Hell’s Kitchen; the Fantastic Four live in the Baxter Building on 42nd Street. While the fictional characters will undoubtedly stay rooted in the boroughs, losing the physical, gritty East Coast bullpen fundamentally alters the industry’s culture.
By placing the editorial staff, writers, and brand managers in Burbank with Kevin Feige’s cinematic architects, Disney is streamlining its intellectual property. While this means tighter synergy between the pages and the screen, it closes the book on nearly a century of comic history on the streets of Manhattan.
It takes a particular kind of hubris to look at Brian De Palma’s 1976 masterwork and say, “I have more to say.” Even the grandfather of modern horror himself wasn’t entirely convinced. When Mike Flanagan first approached Stephen King about adapting his 1974 debut novel for television, King’s immediate, protective instinct was short and sharp: “Leave her alone. She’s been through enough.”
But Flanagan is a persistent conjurer, and today, Prime Video exhaled the first-look imagery and official details for his eight-episode Carrie series, dropping this fall. Anyone expecting a nostalgic, lace-trimmed retread of the past had better steel their nerves. Flanagan isn’t just updating the story; he is radically altering the very architecture of Carrie White’s tragedy.
“The only way to approach it was to build something new out of the ingredients of Carrie,” Flanagan revealed to Entertainment Weekly. “Otherwise, there’s really no purpose in trying to retread ground that’s been so beautifully walked before.”

Flanagan has dragged Chamberlain, Maine into the vicious, unforgiving landscape of the present day. This is the era of digital execution, where online humiliation doesn’t stop at the school gates—it becomes permanent and global. Summer H. Howell (Time Cut) steps into the titular role, beating out over a thousand hopefuls to inherit the crown of horror’s ultimate outcast.
In this sharp reinvention, Carrie has been kept entirely hidden within the claustrophobic walls of her home by her fiercely religious mother, Margaret—played by Flanagan’s reliable high priestess of psychological torment, Samantha Sloyan (Midnight Mass). It is only after the sudden, violent death of Carrie’s father that she is dragged out of the dark and thrown into the wolf-den of public high school, immediately navigating a viral bullying scandal.
But the most staggering deviation—the one that will undoubtedly set purist tongues wagging—is Flanagan’s decision to blow open King’s mythology.
In the original texts, Carrie was a freak occurrence, a tragic anomaly. Flanagan is rejecting that isolation. He is leaning heavily into the “TK gene” hinted at in the novel, transforming Carrie from a lonely victim into part of a global, historical sisterhood. Each episode will reportedly open with a vignette introducing a completely different woman, in a different place and time, coming to terms with her own telekinetic curse. Carrie is no longer just a broken girl in a blood-soaked prom dress; she is a link in a chain of dangerous, gifted women.
“The themes that Steve was talking about half a century ago of kindness versus cruelty, of empathy and bullying, and violence at school have become even more relevant today than he could have contemplated because of our relationship to technology,” Flanagan explained. “We’re not retelling the story as it’s been told… We’re focused way more on the destruction of a community through these very modern tools.”

Supporting Howell and Sloyan is a fascinatingly sharp ensemble, including Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Amber Midthunder as the gym teacher Miss Desjardin, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.
The series poses a chilling question that feels far more volatile than the original narrative: in a world this cruel, are we watching the birth of a monster, the rise of a hero, or something far more complicated?
The prom invitations have been sent. Prepare yourselves for a very different kind of slaughter.
When Skybound and Image Comics first launched the Energon Universe, the hook was clear: massive, titanic forces colliding. We watched Autobots smash Decepticons, and we watched G.I. Joe navigate the terrifying, militarized dawn of a world reacting to alien technology. But as Phase Two kicks into high gear, writer Dan Watters and artist Pye Parr have built a new series around an intriguing variable that has been slowly introduced over the last several months.
With the first two issues of M.A.S.K. officially on the shelves, the baseline of this shared universe hasn’t just expanded—it has fundamentally shifted.
By grounding the high-octane franchise within the established lore of the Energon Universe, Watters and Parr are giving us an entirely new perspective: ordinary human specialists weaponizing alien fallout to fight a covert, global arms race. Here’s how M.A.S.K. has rewritten the rules of the Energon Universe through its explosive opening act.
Grounding the Tech: The Human Response to Alien Fallout
Up until now, the human factions in the Energon Universe have largely been defined by institutional scale. The Joes, M.A.R.S. and Cobra are massive operations–and growing all the time–dealing with the macro-level threat of the Cybertronian war. M.A.S.K. flips the script.
Matt Trakker’s Mobile Armored Strike Kommand is a lean, rapid-response network of specialists. What makes their debut so vital to the universe’s fabric is how they utilize the bleeding-edge technology left behind in the wake of the Autobot-Decepticon conflict.
Instead of building massive bases, Trakker and his old colleague Alex Sector are reverse-engineering this reality-warping technology into highly portable, specialized gear. The signature helmets and transforming vehicles—like Trakker’s flight-capable Thunderhawk sports car—aren’t just flashy 1980s gimmicks anymore. Within the context of the Energon Universe, they represent humanity’s desperate attempt to build equalizers against cosmic threats using the scraps of those very same entities.
Miles Mayhem and V.E.N.O.M. as the Ultimate Underground–and Kooky–Threat
While Cobra Commander aims for global subjugation and the Decepticons look to strip the planet raw, Miles Mayhem and V.E.N.O.M. represent a much more insidious, mercenary threat.
Introduced as a covert terrorist operation, V.E.N.O.M. isn’t trying to rule the world out in the open—they are trying to capitalize on it. By recruiting elite, rogue operatives like ex-CIA demolition expert Vanessa Warfield and the unstable sharpshooter Sly Rax, Mayhem has built an organization tailored for high-stakes asymmetrical warfare.
Through the first two issues, V.E.N.O.M. acts as a chaotic wildcard in the global ecosystem. They are scouring the globe for alien artifacts. By introducing a faction completely motivated by criminal enterprise and the weaponization of the unknown, Watters introduces a dark mirror to the arms race, proving that humanity’s worst enemies don’t always wear chrome faceplates or come from outer space.
The Reality-Warping Stakes of Frusenland
If issue #1 established the players, issue #2 shattered the geographic and scientific boundaries of the Energon Universe’s version of Earth.
The search for a localized alien generator leads both factions to the remote, snowy wastes of Frusenland. Here, the creative team showcases the true danger of uncontained Energon-adjacent machinery. The landscape itself is warped, culminating in a sequence where the generator reactivates, slips into the ocean, and rips open a localized wormhole that literally begins draining the sea into an unknown point in space and time.
This development raises the stakes for the entire line. Gloria Baker and Bruce Sato’s deep-dive investigation in the Shark submersible isn’t just a rescue mission—it establishes that the Earth is actively breaking down under the stress of these cosmic anomalies. The universe is no longer just a backdrop for giant robot fights; it’s a volatile environment where a single misplaced piece of technology can rewrite local physics.
Through just two issues, M.A.S.K. has injected a shot of pure adrenaline and high-stakes espionage into Phase Two. By focusing on the vehicle violence and tactical, localized deployment of advanced tech, Watters and Parr have effectively bridged the gap between the military sci-fi of G.I. Joe and the cosmic grandeur of Transformers.
The Energon Universe is becoming a rapidly changing, highly unpredictable place—and Matt Trakker’s team is right on the front lines trying to keep it together.
Following some internet panic regarding a looming ending for the red-hot DC series, writer Scott Snyder has officially cleared the air. During a Livestream event titled “Absolute Access Live”, the writer clarified that while the foundational narrative arc is currently wrapping up, he and artist Nick Dragotta are locked in for the long haul on Absolute Batman.
Rumors of the book’s demise began circulating after Snyder discussed the culmination of the title’s massive, multi-issue Scarecrow arc, which spans from issue #19 through issue #25. Because this arc heavily reshapes Bruce Wayne’s relationship with his Gotham allies and features a collision course with Jack Grimm, The Absolute Joker, and the Absolute Robins, some readers mistakenly interpreted the climax as the planned end of the entire series.
Snyder put those fears to rest, explicitly confirming that his contract with Dragotta extends well past the three-year mark—mapping the narrative out to a massive milestone marker.
“We have it planned through #50, and that’s not the end. It’s just like, it’s the end of the first big cycle, about Batman becoming who he needs to be, fighting Joker,” Snyder explained. “So it’s kind of like one giant first year in his life, you know?”
Since its blockbuster launch as the flagship title of DC’s All In initiative, Absolute Batman has consistently been one of the highest-selling books in the industry. Stripping Bruce Wayne of his billionaire status, his high-tech cave, and his traditional safety nets has struck a major chord with modern readers.
Issue #25 might mark the end of a major chapter in the Absolute Universe’s history, but it’s ultimately just the halfway mark of Act One. With major threads involving Deathstroke, Poison Ivy, and a heavily reimagined Harley Quinn still developing, Bruce Wayne’s war on the system is only getting started.
San Diego Comic-Con is right around the corner, and DC is setting up to take over the convention floor with a massive wave of nostalgia and highly anticipated future looks.
The publisher has officially unveiled its full programming lineup, booth activities, and convention exclusives for Comic-Con International 2026. This year, the publisher is continuing its decade-by-decade countdown toward DC Comics’ historic 100th anniversary by transforming Booth #4544 into an immersive, retro celebration of the 1950s Silver Age.
Starting Thursday, July 25, the 1950s-themed DC Booth will host a full weekend of interactive programming, creator meet-and-greets, and photo ops. Fans can step into a stylized era honoring milestones like the debuts of Barry Allen’s Flash (Showcase #4) and Supergirl (Action Comics #252).
Additionally, Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood is bringing an immersive Fortress of Solitude backdrop inspired by Superman’s icy headquarters, complete with a custom Superman Experience #1 comic book giveaway.
If you are hunting down exclusive comics, your wallet is in serious danger. DC is bringing premium foil-stamped convention variants for its red-hot Absolute line alongside special compiled editions:

The core of DC’s presentation will take place across several powerhouse panels inside the San Diego Convention Center rooms, breaking down what’s next for the All In initiative and the Absolute Universe. Key talent scheduled to appear includes:
The Absolute Architects: Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta (Absolute Batman), Joshua Williamson (Superman), Mark Waid (Action Comics), and Tom King (Wonder Woman).
The “Jim Lee & Friends” Panel: DC President, Publisher, and CCO Jim Lee will anchor his signature spotlight panel, promising major creative announcements and surprise guest appearances detailing upcoming media integrations.
For a heartwarming bonus, Guide Dogs of America | Tender Loving Canines will return to the DC Booth for a special two-day appearance. Fans can meet DC’s sponsored litter of service puppies-in-training, playfully named after the pillars of the universe: Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Kara Zor-El, Krypto, and Lobo. Artist Chrissie Zullo will also be on hand Sunday morning for a special signing of Krypto: Home Sweet Krypto.
Between the massive Absolute showcase, the 1950s tribute styling, and exclusive apparel lines for Lanterns and Clayface, DC is going, well, All In for SDCC 2026.
The long countdown is over, and Marvel is officially pulling back the curtain on what it’s calling the biggest issue in Spider-Man history.
Marvel Comics has detailed the landmark AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1000, a giant-sized, star-studded spectacular set to arrive in comic shops on September 16, 2026. Marking the first time a mainline Marvel series has crossed the quadruple-digit finish line, the publisher is bringing together an unprecedented lineup of legendary creators to celebrate Peter Parker’s legacy while charting his next 1,000 issues.
The Creative Lineup
The cornerstone of the milestone issue is a massive main story from the current flagship creative team of writer Joe Kelly and artist Pepe Larraz. According to Marvel, this pivotal story serves as both a grand culmination of their run so far and a launchpad for the web-slinger’s next era.
Writing AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1000 has stirred up a lot of emotions for me, but gratitude is chief among them.It’s a true honor to have the opportunity to contribute to Spidey’s legacy with a huge milestone like this. And special bonus – we get to introduce a new villain?! Amazing. Ravage is layered and complex and mysterious, and I can’t wait to unleash him on the readers with this monumental issue!
-Joe Kelly
The issue will also feature a powerhouse anthology of special anniversary tales from an absolute murderer’s row of Spider-Man royalty, including Frank Miller, Dan Slott, J.M. DeMatteis, Brian Michael Bendis, Noah Hawley, and even Marvel Universe architect Larry Lieber.
The New Threat
This isn’t just a retrospective victory lap. Kelly and Larraz are using the milestone to introduce a brand-new supervillain named Ravage.
Described by Kelly as “layered, complex, and mysterious,” Ravage is set to unleash a history-shattering power that forces Peter Parker to confront his greatest fear and question his entire superheroic legacy. Rumors among the fandom suggest this personal battle might tie directly back to long-simmering family secrets—specifically involving Aunt May.
The Cover Situation
The road to #1000 hasn’t been completely without web-fluid clogs. Marvel originally announced a unique, pedestrian-perspective main cover penciled by John Romita Jr. and painted by Paolo Rivera. Following mixed feedback from the fan community regarding the abstract composition, Marvel modified the strategy.
The issue will now prominently feature two primary “A” covers: the Romita Jr./Rivera jam cover alongside a striking traditional piece by Pepe Larraz and colorist Marte Gracia. Additionally, industry giants Alex Ross and Mark Bagley will provide blockbuster variant covers celebrating Spidey’s most iconic moments and his legendary rogues’ gallery.
The Release Details
Lead Creators: Joe Kelly & Pepe Larraz
Contributing Creators: Frank Miller, Brian Michael Bendis, Dan Slott, J.M. DeMatteis, Larry Lieber, Noah Hawley, and more.
DC is going back to 1938, and they’re stripping away the cape’s most famous cosmic trimmings to do it.
The publisher has announced Superman: The Stranger, a brand-new six-issue DC Black Label limited series launching this fall. Written and illustrated by the acclaimed Wes Craig (Deadly Class, Kaya), the book is set to reimagine the Man of Tomorrow’s earliest adventures by throwing out decades of established mythology in favor of raw, street-level Golden Age grit.
Forget Smallville. Forget Krypton. Forget Ma and Pa Kent. Superman: The Stranger drops a young, brash Clark Kent into a heavily Art Deco-inspired 1938 Metropolis. By day, he’s just another face trying to make ends meet in a bustling, unequal city. By night, he uses his raw, scaled-back powers to protect the streets.
But this isn’t a story about punching giant robots. The core conflict is systemic—the rich keep getting richer, the poor are left behind, and Clark is left wondering if a man who can leap tall buildings can actually fix a corrupt, broken society.
Visually and tonally, this is a massive shift from the current mainline All In status quo. Craig is drawing heavy inspiration from the visual language of Action Comics #1 and the classic Fleischer Studios cartoons of the 1940s.
According to Craig, the goal is to get back to the core myth: “You strip away the extra powers… you boil it down to that explosive first issue of Action Comics, and you have this vital, powerful myth of a brash young man with incredible powers fighting against a corrupt city. That’s the story I want to tell.”
The Creative & Release Details:
Writer/Artist: Wes Craig
Colors & Letters: Jason Wordie (Colors) and Tom Napolitano (Letters)
Release Date: September 2, 2026
Format & Price: Six issues, printed on premium cardstock, retailing at $4.99 US.
Age Rating: DC’s Ages 17+ content descriptor (Mature Readers).
Black Label has always been at its best when it lets visionary creators take DC’s biggest icons completely out of safety zones. Giving a master stylist like Wes Craig free rein over a Depression-era Superman sandbox makes this an absolute must-add to the fall pull list.
Are you ready for a grounded, Golden Age Superman? Let us know what you think of Craig’s approach!
DC’s All In era is officially moving into its second act, and the publisher isn’t hitting the brakes anytime soon.
DC has announced the expansion of its Next Level publishing initiative, slating three brand-new ongoing team series to drop on the same day: September 2, 2026. Fans can look forward to fresh, creator-driven entry points for the Legion of Super-Heroes, Teen Titans, and The Doom Patrol.
The Next Level line—which has already found success with standalone titles like Batwoman, Lobo, and The Deadman—is designed to be friendly to new readers while letting top-tier talent play in the main DC Universe sandbox without being heavily bogged down by dense crossover continuity.
Here is the breakdown of the creative teams and directions heading to comic shops this fall:
Legion of Super-Heroes #1
The Creative Team: Joshua Williamson (Superman) and Eisner-winner Hayden Sherman (Absolute Wonder Woman).
The Pitch: Set one thousand years after Superman’s rocket originally landed in Smallville, this 40-page debut tackles a dark future where superheroes have been outlawed, the United Planets are policed by the ruthless Persuaders, and financier R.J. Brande has been murdered. It falls to Brainiac 1 of 5 to solve the crime and assemble a scattered rebel alliance of young heroes.
Teen Titans #1
The Creative Team: Darcy Van Poelgeest (Little Bird) and artist Niko Henrichon (The Pride of Baghdad).
The Pitch: To avoid complete financial and emotional ruin, the world’s strangest heroes adopt a “heroes-for-hire” business model. What starts as a seemingly mundane case tracking down a missing cat quickly spins out into a bizarre cosmic crisis.
The Creative Team: Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo—the powerhouse team behind the massive Power Rangers: Shattered Grid event.
The Pitch: Don’t expect the standard Titans lineup. This series spotlights a network of missing, powered teenagers. When a young hero vanishes from a rally for a youth movement called “Ascend,” a core group consisting of Fairplay, Cheshire Cat, Proxy, and Wildcard must team up with Red Hood to find their friend.
The Doom Patrol #1
September 2 is going to be an expensive Wednesday at the local comic shop. DC also teased that the Next Level rollout will continue through the end of 2026, with more independent, creator-driven titles planned for characters like Deadshot, Deathstroke, and Zatanna.
Which of these three titles are you putting on your pull list first?
Star Wars fans have been looking forward to Lucasfilm’s latest Star Wars streaming series, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The series takes place in the years that exist after the Prequels are complete, but before the Original Trilogy begins. This is ground that really hasn’t been deeply explored by other Star Wars properties.
The Star Wars content that has premiered on Disney+ has been lauded for taking the material in new directions while also tying into the existing canon, and some of the biggest moments in these shows have been cameos and Easter eggs. The inclusion of characters from animated series getting their live-action debuts, such as Bo-Katan and Cad Bane, has particularly driven fan interest.
Obviously, the return of Hayden Christensen as Vader was confirmed before the series and fans got their first glimpse of the character at the end of Part II, so we’re going to speculate about who else we can expect to see interact with Old Ben under the twin suns of Tatooine over the next four episodes.
Snips
One of the most anticipated cameos is the return of Rosario Dawson in the role of Ahsoka Tano. These characters are deeply connected in the Clone Wars animated series, and her introduction in The Mandalorian was so popular that Ahsoka got her own spin-off, which started production recently. The series will be set approximately 10 years after the conclusion of Revenge of the Sith, and according to her time in Star Wars Rebels she was establishing pockets of resistance as the agent codenamed Fulcrum.
Fans who only know her from live-action might not know that Tano never actually became a Jedi because she left the order. There are still gaps to fill in on her journey from padawan to resistance leader to Luke’s assistant in this year’s The Book of Boba Fett. She is very likely to appear in Kenobi.
Lothal Rebels
Obi-Wan Kenobi will take place before the animated Rebels series in the official chronology, so for any characters that make an appearance, it would technically be a prequel to those adventures.
Kanan Jarrus: spent most of this period hiding his force powers from the Empire, so very unlikely to appear here.
Ezra Bridger: he was just a child in Rebels, and lived on Lothal before that show ran, so also unlikely.
Garazeb Orrelios: Zeb was reeling from the loss of his people, the Lasat. His story doesn’t have many connections to the themes that surround Obi-Wan, so also unlikely.
Hera Syndulla: Hera’s family was involved in resisting the Empire on Ryloth when they suffered tremendous personal loss. She was the leader of the Spectre cell of the resistance and was one who had contact with Ahsoka/Fulcrum, so this Twi’lek is a strong candidate for an appearance. Hopefully, she brings along C1-10P/Chopper.
Sabine Wren: Sabine is an intriguing candidate given the popularity of Mandalorians in the live-action series. Sabine is an explosives expert and artist and spent her time before Rebels as a bounty hunter with her friend Ketsu Onyo. They alluded to a darker time in her past, and it would be fun to see her with a little bit of a sharper edge. It would also open the door to her return for the Ahsoka series, as they teamed up in Rebels.
Clones
Part II gave us a brief glimpse of one clone, but the return of others from the Clone Wars series is a possibility. It could complicate things because Temuera Morrison would likely be required to play them, and it might confuse casual viewers to see him back in action in a role other than Boba Fett, but the clone he played in Part II was barely recognizable as Morrison, other than the distinct voice. Captain Rex is a great candidate for a return, as he is seen in Rebels with Wolffe and Gregor as defectors.
Scum and Villainy
Odds are good we will get another banger from the Max Rebo band in a cantina scene. The cantinas are the heart of Tatooine, and often host cameos in the background. Favorite bounty hunters Greedo and Boba Fett, or more obscure ones like Cad Bane and Dengar would be appropriate for brief interactions. Perhaps we will get a glimpse of Jabba on a litter. Scoring Donald Glover for Lando would be a coup but seems unlikely.
A fun option here would be Hondo Ohnaka, a pirate who knows Obi-Wan from the Clone Wars days and goes on to play a role in Rebels. He is an unpredictable mix of soft-hearted and cutthroat and could serve as an ally Kenobi can never quite trust.
The Dark Side
There are some fun candidates amongst those who wield the Dark Side of the Force and could serve as a lead-up to Obi-Wan’s reunion with Anakin. Kenobi has a past with Sith Assassin Asajj Ventress, and though he did not meet her end on-screen, she has a pretty conclusive ending in a 2015 novel. It would be interesting to see if the current leadership feels bound by their other media.
Rebels established that there were Sith devotees who were tasked with hunting the Jedi who evaded the infamous Order 66. These Inquisitors, such as Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister, had some tremendous action scenes and would bring pressure on Obi-Wan to keep his location secret.
The most intriguing option is Darth Maul. He is established in the Clone Wars as being alive at this time, and although we know he has to survive to appear in Rebels, given the way they parted at the end of The Phantom Menace their reaction would surely be explosive.
After her debut in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it appears America Chavez may be returning in a standalone project of her own. The screenwriter for the Doctor Strange sequel, Michael Waldron, explained in an interview with Vanity Fair that when it came to some of the America Chavez material, “that maybe we should hold some of that back.”
“Getting into the real specificity of her with her parents came a little bit later in the process. It felt, at least to me initially, that maybe we should hold some of that back. It felt like the sort of stuff you’d rather answer when you’re getting into America’s solo outing. But as we continued to build the story, we found that we wanted to know more about her. And, really, Strange would want to know more about her. It was just honest to their relationship and conversations.”
Michael Waldron
Waldron went on to point out that they “also set up the next chapter in the America Chavez story.” When you consider the mystery of her missing mothers and her training in Kamar Taj, there seems to be plenty of material for a movie or a TV series.
Especially fascinating is the fact that Waldron was the lead writer on the first season of Loki. Chavez, played on the big screen by Xochitl Gomez, has a history in the comics with a teenage version of Loki. She also has a unique role in the Secret Wars event that was teased by the Illuminati discussions of “Incursions.” Her solo outing could tie deeply into several other Marvel Cinematic Universe titles, as befits a character whose power is traveling the multiverse. As it stands, though, nothing has been announced regarding an America Chavez solo project.
For the time being, fans can see America in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, now playing in theaters.
