According to social media scooper My Time To Shine Hello, Lucasfilm has provided a new hope for Rogue Squadron, choosing to redevelop the long-delayed project as a streaming series for D+.
While this isn’t the dead project fans are currently wishing will come together (that honor goes to The Hunt for Ben Solo), the project has always sounded relatively exciting and D+ might be the perfect place for it. Set to introduce a “new generation of starfighter pilots as they earn their wings and risk their lives in a boundary-pushing, high-speed thrill-ride, and move the saga into the future era of the galaxy,” Rogue Squadron is believed to be set AFTER the sequels and could serve as a companion piece to Star Wars: Starfighter.
With the New Republic Mando-verse projects nearing their narrative conclusion in the not too distant future, Lucasfilm is certainly looking for its next batch of stories and Rogue Squadron could have survived uncertainty and become part of the future.
Set photos have revealed that Bullseye will play an integral role in Season 2, perhaps even as part of Murdock’s resistance, though it’s unclear just how long the pair will remain allies, given Dex offed Matt’s bestie. What is clear, however, after a recent con appearance by Bethel, is that Dex will survive the events of Season 2 and be back in action when season 3 hits D+ in 2027.
“As some of you might know, we’ve already got picked up for another new season that we will start doing next year,” said Bethel. “We’ll have more Bullseye on the way and Kingpin and all the rest.” Yay…
As exciting as it is to learn that Marvel Television has no interest in moving away from Kingpin and Bullseye six seasons into Daredevil, Bethel did try to prime the pump for Dex’s appearance in Season 2. “There are whole new avenues of Dex’s interesting, messed-up psyche that we get to explore, and there’s some really, really fun stuff that’s on the way for Bullseye and Dex,” Bethel said.
Bethel also teased “a truly fucking awesome” sequence filmed for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, which will debut on D+ in March 2026. “I think the coolest Bullseye fight sequence that we have yet to see in the show is part of [Season 2].” Hopefully it involves some buzzing and more of him using odd shit to kill people because there’s nothing more interesting.
Though Marvel Animation’s Marvel Zombies wasn’t the studio’s highest-rated streaming series, the four-episode mini-event drew a lot of eyeballs. A report from The Direct claimed the series exceeded expectations and given that Marvel’s streaming skipper, Brad Winderbaum, said that the studio would be looking at viewership numbers before unleashing a second season of Marvel Zombies, it’s seemed likely that more zombies were on the way…and it sounds as though they are.
According to Marvel Studios insider Daniel Richtman, the powers that be have decided to move ahead with a second season of Marvel Zombies.
Frenetic, savage and gadgety-on-the-brink-of-gimmicky, Marvel Zombies ended up a bit less than the sum of its parts while still managing to deliver a sinewy supernatural survivor story.
Hot on n the heels the release of physical media, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is headed to Disney Plus.
In an official release provided across its social media outlets, Disney revealed that the Marvel Studios film will hit the streaming platform on November 5th.
Our family is coming home. 💙

The film, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, introduced Marvel’s First Family to the MCU in time for the group to star in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The film took in just over $520M worldwide and played well for critics and audiences alike and will likely continue the trend of Marvel Studios’ films becoming streaming darlings.
Released on D+ in 2021, Hawkeye still stands as one of Marvel’s strongest and most complete streaming series. The Christmas setting and dynamic between Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld‘s Hawkeyes made the street-level story a hit with fans, who immediately began pushing for a second season, something the cast and creatives were also keen to make work.
I cannot speak to future plans in the tradition of secrecy. Again, the show coming out, you never know how it’s going to be received and it has been amazing to see how warmly people have taken it and enjoyed it. And it’s been great to see Hailee’s character embraced and sort of land so firmly in the MCU. I sincerely look forward to where that character goes next. And yes, I loved walking on the streets of the MCU and would gladly enjoy doing it again.
In an interview with The Playlist, Renner shared his belief that following recent conversations with the powers that he, a second season of Hawkeye might find its way to D+ after all.
“We got to where we’re trying to do the second season,” revealed Renner. “And I think I’ll get strong enough to be able to do it. And we’ll work it out. It’s gonna be great.”
“I really enjoyed doing the series version because it was a bit more intimate and had the family dynamic, which is always a huge part of him,” said Renner. “I think Clint’s superpower is the human side — he’s a superpowerless superhero. He’s one of the few, but I think his superpower is that sort of grit of the human condition and his loyalty and family. It’s like, otherwise, what are you fighting for? We’re fighting for that love and that loyalty of family. And so exploring that was always great. And then there’s the Christmas theme — being in New York, that was great too.”
With Steinfeld‘s Bishop reportedly poised to have a bit of a bigger role inbthe studio’s Post-Multiverse Saga plans, perhaps Marvel will find a way for the further adventures of the Hawkeyes...and Mockingbird!
Just two years after Robert Kirkman‘s Skybound Entertainment helped Image Comics launch the Energon Universe, the Invincible creator is teaming up with Hasbro Entertainment to develop the concept as an adult-oriented animated series.
According to Deadline, Kirkman has tabbed Lucifer scribe as showrunner Joe Henderson for the project for Hasbro, who is expected to begin shopping it around shortly.
Optimus Prime was supposed to have led the Autobots to victory. Instead, the fate of Cybertron is unknown, and his allies have crash-landed far from home, alongside their enemies-the Decepticons.
As these titanic forces renew their war on Earth, one thing is immediately clear: the planet will never be the same. New alliances are struck. Battle lines are redrawn. And humanity’s only hope of survival is Optimus Prime.
-Official synopsis for Transformers via Image Comics
The Image Comics Energon Universe is a shared fictional universe published by Skybound Entertainment (an imprint of Image Comics) in collaboration with Hasbro. It serves as a comprehensive reboot and unified continuity for the franchises of Transformers, G.I. Joe, and a new original property, Void Rivals, all tied together by the concept of Energon, the substance the Transformers need to survive.
Launched in June 2023, Void Rivals served as the initial cornerstone of the universe. It follows two soldiers, Darak (Agorrian) and Solila (Zertonian), from two warring alien races within the distant space anomaly known as the Sacred Ring. When they crash-land on a mysterious planetoid, they are forced to work together to survive, only to uncover a secret that reveals their two cultures are tied to ancient Cybertronian technology and the origin of the Transformers’ war. The first issue features the surprise first appearance of a Transformer (Jetfire), officially linking the franchises.
War rages around the Sacred Ring where the last remnants of two worlds have collapsed around a black hole in a never-ending war.
However when pilot Darak and his rival Solila both crash on a desolate planet these two enemies must find a way to escape together. But are they alone on this strange planet? And what dark forces await that threaten the entire universe?
-Official synopsis for Void Rivals via Image Comics
Image followed up Void Rivals in October 2023 with an all-new Transformers ongoing book which focuses on The Autobots and Decepticons’ war expanding to Earth. The story picks up after a contingent of Transformers crash-land and are dormant before being accidentally reactivated.
At the same time, four, solo, limited series were launched featuring key G.I. Joe franchise characters Cobra Commander, Destro, Duke and Scarlett. In November 2023, Joshua Williamson‘s G.I. Joe #1 hit shelves, telling the story of how the emergence of the Transformers on Earth spurs the formation of G.I. Joe and Cobra as military responses to the threat and the new energy source.
It’s unclear if one project or several are being developed for streaming.
There really is so much more to explore. We still haven’t touched on many of her core storylines from the comics. I don’t know that we saw her under rubble? I saw a tower coming down, and a little red flash. I don’t know what that means.
“Making the films are fun. Goofy. It’s ridiculous. We’re grown people like children on a playground,” said Olsen of the experience of making MCU films. “We’re flying. We’re shooting things out of our hands. And it’s a character that I’ve gotten to return to so many times after over 10 years. It’s good to put her down and then I miss her and I want her back. I’d jump at the opportunity to be in her shoes again.”
“It’s the consistency of a community and a job, which is hard to find. The insane camera movement, stunt work and special effects, visual effects that are happening in real time,” Olsen explained. “It’s a lot of coordination, it’s hundreds and hundreds of people on set, and it’s a powerful thing to be a part of all those people working towards one goal. The people doing the visual effects are artists… The soul, the spirit, the heart is fulfilled doing it. It does mean something. I care about the acting being great — everyone does.”
Rumors of a Scarlet Witch solo project circulated for years. When given the opportunity to shoot them down, WandaVision and Agatha All Along creator Jac Schaeffer chose not to, fueling the fire of legions of social media Wandas. While Olsen remains mum on WHEN she will return, it continues to sound as though she most definitely WILL.
Following a couple of years of more shuffling behind the scenes than I’ve ever seen, a new normal is emerging at Marvel Studios and it’s one that involves far fewer projects than fans are used to. However, it does make guessing a little easier which means the hypothetical calendars now return to having a .00001% chance of accuracy. So, for the first time in a long time…
Early March: Daredevil: Born Again Season 3
Marvel Television’s flagship streaming series will be back for a third season in 2027 and given Disney’s new preference for these projects to have an “annual cadence,” an early March release seems reasonable.
Writers have begun hashing out the scripts for the next installment in the streaming franchise with an eye on production getting underway in New York City in early 2026.
Fall: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 3
Like X-Men ’97, Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is being developed as a streaming staple. According to Winderbaum, “We will have a Spider-Man season every year if I have anything to say about it.” And he has a lot to say about it, so count on Season 3 in 2027.
Fall: Jessica Jones Project
Following her return as Jessica Jones in Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, Krysten Ritter looks set to headline a new streaming project of her own. While it’s currently not clear if it would shape up as a Special Presentation or a fourth season of Jessica Jones, rumors indicate it is coming together relatively quickly. With it unclear what else, if anything, Marvel Television might be working on for release in 2027, a Jessica Jones project could pair nicely with Daredevil: Born Again. Alternatively, if the studio plans to end the Daredevil series after Season 3, Jessica Jones Season 4 might slide into that March slot on the calendar.
December 17: Avengers: Secret Wars
Outside of 2020, in which no theatrical projects were released by Marvel due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, there has only been one other instance of Marvel releasing only one MCU film in a calendar year: 2011 when Iron Man 2 flew solo. Now there will be another, as Avengers: Secret Wars, the final chapter in the Multiverse Saga, is the only movie on Marvel’s release calendar.
There’s a lot of stuff that I’ve felt there was room to explore, and Brad and I talked about it and I am not going to say any of it, because we’re going to be doing it.
-Krysten Ritter
According to social media scooper My Time To Shine Hello, Marvel Studios has started the process of assembling the creative team for the Jessica Jones revival by searching for a writer.

In 2013, 5 years after the MCU kicked off with Iron Man, Disney and Netflix reached a deal that allowed the streaming service to develop four live-action series based around some of Marvel Comics’ “street-level” heroes: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. The original deal called for a 13-episode series to be developed for each character with their stories intersecting in a crossover events series, The Defenders. Ultimately, each of the series were granted at least a second season and, in 2016, following the character’s debut in Season 2 of Daredevil, a spinoff series centered on Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, went into development.
In late 2018, Netflix began cancelling the series individually and by February 2019, the Defenders-verse died a quiet death in the trades. In March 2022, the series were all removed from Netflix’s streaming platform and appeared on Disney Plus as The Defenders Saga and were not included in the MCU Timeline or the Infinity Saga. However, in January 2024, Winderbaum canonized the projects, beginning the Netflixification of Marvel’s live-action streaming efforts. Now, a Jessica Jones project looks to be the next step.
After X user @UnBoxPHD shared shots of Sink on the UK set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a new theory about who she may be playing has taken hold despite it going against everything that is known about the character.
The single shot of Sink seen above has led to theories that she will be playing Rachel Cole, a former Marine sergeant and ally of The Punisher. However, while it is accurate that Frank Castle will have someone by his side in the film, descriptions of Castle’s sidekick shared by multiple insiders have indicated the character is played by an unknown Black actress.
While Rachel Cole is a fascinating character–and also a ginger–the widley-shared reports about Sink’s role call into question that she’d be playing Cole. On my end, I’ve heard that Castle’s sidekick is indeed played by a Black actress; additionally, I’ve heard from two separate sources that Sink’s character is not who she appears to be, which has led me down a rabbit hole of my own.
Opinion only, I have begun to believe that Sink could be playing Lily Hollister or a character who incorporates the important twists of Hollister into the plot of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
In the comics, Hollister discovered one of Norman Osborn’s hidden Goblin lairs. Given what we do and do not know about Osborn’s time in the MCU’s Earth-616 in Spider-Man: No Way Home, the idea that he established lairs around the city cannot be discounted. Eventually, Hollister was able to “shift her shape” and become a Goblin at will.
Given that audiences have no idea what Willem Dafoe‘s Norman got up to during his trip to Earth-616, it does not seem impossible that he set up a pair or two around NYC during his time.
However, until we get more concrete evidence, we’re happy to say we have no idea who Sink will be, though it is clear she’s playing someone of significance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day which hits theaters on July 31, 2026.
