  • Marvel Updates Release Info for Two Upcoming Live-Action Streaming Projects

    Marvel Updates Release Info for Two Upcoming Live-Action Streaming Projects

    Both Marvel Animation and Marvel Television provided updates to their respective 2026 streaming slates on October 11th, with five total projects in the spotlight. On the animation side, streaming skipper Brad Winderbaum talked about the second seasons of X-Men ’97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, two shows the studio hopes to roll out annually for the foreseeable future. Winderbaum also brought news on three live-action projects set to debut in 2026: Wonder Man, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 and VisionQuest, with Wonder Man‘s January 27th release date being revealed while the other projects were given more general windows.

    Coming out of NYCC, the 2026 streaming slate shaped up as follows:

    • January 27th: Wonder Man
    • TBD March: Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
    • Summer: X-Men ’97 Season 2
    • Fall: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2
    • TBD 2026: VisionQuest

    Following the presentation, Disney has updated the information available about each project via their respective media kits, revealing a release date for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 and a more defined release window for VisionQuest.

    The sophomore season of Daredevil: Born Again is now confirmed to begin streaming on March 4th, 2026 while VisionQuest has now been given a Fall 2026 release window.

    It is notable that Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again debuted on Tuesday, March 4th, 2025 and that March 4th, 2026 will be a Wednesday. Over the past couple of years, Marvel Television has not established any real consistency in releasing episodes on Tuesdays or Wednesdays and the March 4th date is as true to Winderbaum‘s promise of the series being a flagship that fans can look forward to being released annually.

    In the case of VisionQuest, the Fall 2026 release sets up the series to be the final live-action project fans will take in before heading to theaters for Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, 2026. While the studio continues to work on reducing the number of projects that feel too intricately connected to the larger narrative, rumors have begun to swirl that VisionQuest may indeed include a major MCU plot point, connecting the series and its cast to the conclusion of the Multiverse Saga.

  • ‘VisionQuest’ Timeline Opens Door for Major MCU Crossover

    ‘VisionQuest’ Timeline Opens Door for Major MCU Crossover

    Though it has been in development since late-2022, details about the Paul Bettany-led Vision-centric series–including an official title–proved difficult to pin down. That all changed during New York Comic Con 2025 when Bettany made a surprise appearance to discuss the series, now confirmed as VisionQuest.

    Described by Marvel.com as “the final installment in the trilogy that started with WandaVision and continued in last year’s Agatha All Along,” VisionQuest was originally developed by Jac Schaeffer before being handed off to Terry Matalas. The series, set to release in 2026, will follow the White Vision, last seen in the WandaVision finale, as he tries to regain a sense of who he was before being destroyed in Avengers: Endgame and rebuilt by S.W.O.R.D. as a weapon.

    What’s different about Vision right now is that Red Vision gave Vision all of his memories, including the memories from within the Hex. But White Vision is having real difficulty connecting to them.

    -Paul Bettany

    Part of that journey will involve a heavy dose of artificial intelligences that, like Vision, are part of Tony Stark’s legacy, including Henry Lewis as D.U.M.-E, Jonathan Sayer as U, James D’Arcy as J.A.R.V.I.S., Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y., Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H, and James Spader as Ultron. And if that won’t put enough on the plate if the Synthezoid Avenger, the soul of his son Tommy is now inhabiting the body of Thomas Shepard, played by Ruaridh Mollica. Suffice it to say, there will be quite a bit going on in VisionQuest, however, where and when it takes place may just make things even more complicated.

    While discussing the series at NYCC, Bettany revealed that VisionQuest is set roughly one year after the events of WandaVision. At first glance, that may seem a relatively boring but of info; however, given a large portion of the series takes place in Madripoor, it’s possible the new series could share some narrative fabric with The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

    First seen in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Madripoor is a lawless archipelago in Southeast Asia ruled by The Power Broker. In one of that series’ biggest twists, The Power Broker was revealed to be Sharon Carter, who fled to the island nation after stealing Steve Rogers’ shield and Sam Wilson’s EXO-7 Falcon wings from the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre. Despite being pardoned and rejoining the CIA, Carter continuedto work as The Power Broker. Though Emily VanCamp has not been reported to be part of the cast of Vision, it seems possible she might have a role in the project, perhaps as the one who puts Todd Stashwick‘s Paladin on the trail of Vision’s tech.

    In the MCU timeline, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier takes place in 2024 and is set one year after the events of WandaVision. Bettany‘s comments certainly don’t confirm that VisionQuest will take place when Sam and Bucky are in Madripor with Zemo but it does open the door to any of them or Carter making an appearance in the series. Could this be why Matalas described a scene in the finale of VisionQuest as “kind of a Marvel dream”? Or is he referring to the finale reuniting the Maximoff boys? We’ll have to find out together in 2026.

  • ‘Wonder Man’ Trailer Canonizes Another Shared Universe into the MCU

    ‘Wonder Man’ Trailer Canonizes Another Shared Universe into the MCU

    As part of the Marvel Animation and Marvel Television panel at New York Comic Con, the first teaser for the upcoming eight-episode streaming series Wonder Man was released. The series, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams and Sir Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slatter, follows Williams as the actor “seeks to make his mark in the world of blockbuster Super Hero movies.”

    From the minds of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton and Brooklyn Nine-Nine writer Andrew Guest, Wonder Man will dive into the entertainment industry and looks to be fairly self-aware. While the main premise revolves around Williams hoping to land the role of Wonder Man in a modern-day remake of a superhero film from his youth, it looks as though it won’t be the only role Williams plays.

    As seen in the trailer, Williams will play the role of Professor Harpin in an episode of an in-universe season of American Horror Story.

    At the :46 mark of the teaser, a trailer door reveals that Professor Harpin is a character in American Horror Story, as the logo for the popular horror anthology can be seen.

    While it’s nothing more than a fun Easter egg, it does indeed canonize the beloved Ryan Murphy series into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, giving it a little touch of reality. Though AHS is an FX Original, Disney acquired the network in its 2019 deal with 21st Century Fox, allowing the show to be included.

  • Matthew Lillard’s Antagonistic ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Role Revealed

    Matthew Lillard’s Antagonistic ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Role Revealed

    When OG Ghostface killer Matthew Lillard joined the cast of Daredevil: Born Again in March 2025 ahead of production on Season 2, fans theorized that the modern day horror icon might be playing Daredevil baddie Mister Fear. A bit of a Scarecrow analog, the moniker of Mister Fear has been filled by four different characters over the years and unless there’s a real big lie being told, Lillard won’t be playing any of those when the series hits D+ next March.

    In an interview with EW, Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum revealed that Lillard will be playing named Mister Charles, an international power player and an antagonistic force working against Wilson Fisk.

    The story is about power. When Wilson Fisk takes over New York, not just as a mayor but as a king in a way, it puts him in a new class of power players on the international stage,” said Winderbaum of Season 2.

    Matthew Lillard’s character represents that. So he’s a bit of a new antagonist on the field, but he’s as influential in many ways as Fisk is. That power negotiation at a very high level of politics and international diplomacy is also fun to watch. He is dealing with Mr. Charles up here and Daredevil down here for different reasons. So he’s getting squeezed a little bit.

    While he’s certainly not Marvel’s most famous Charles, a Mr. Charles does exist in  the comics, having made just one appearance in 2013’s AAFES #15. Interestingly, though he was entirely inconsequential on the page, Mr. Charles was affiliated with the powerful Roxxon Corporation which could indeed become involved with Fisk’s bourgeoning empire as attempts to expand offshore.

    Though it hasn’t even had a major presence in the MCU, Roxxon appeared in all three Iron Man films and played a more significant role in the Netflix Defenders-verse series.

  • Marvel Studios Delays the Release of Its Next Streaming Series

    Marvel Studios Delays the Release of Its Next Streaming Series

    In an effort to ensure it gets a fair shot with audiences, Marvel Studios is shuffling its next streaming series into 2026.

    Originally set to debut in December 2025, the Marvel Spotlight series Wonder Man will now stream in January 2026. According to Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation at Marvel Studios, Brad Winderbaum, the studio took inspiration for the move from the release schedule of WandaVision, which debuted on January 15, 2021.

    We don’t want it to get swallowed up by people watching Home Alone and Die Hard and Elf,” said Winderbaum of the move, which comes ahead of Marvel Animation and Marvel Television’s appearance at New York Comic Con.

    Created by Spider-Man: Brand New Day director Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest, Wonder Man stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen as Simon Williams and his journey trying to make his way as an actor in Hollywood.

  • Marvel TV Boss Addresses the Studio’s Multiversal Misery

    Marvel TV Boss Addresses the Studio’s Multiversal Misery

    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.

  • What to Expect from Marvel Television and Animation at NYCC ’25

    What to Expect from Marvel Television and Animation at NYCC ’25

    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.

    Marvel Animation

    Marvel Animation has been dropping bangers at a pretty high rate since Marvel rebranded its streaming projects under separate banners beginning in January 2024. The nostalgia-fueled X-Men ’97, possibly one of Marvel Studios’ best projects ever, launched the new banner and has been followed up by a third season of What If ..?, another hit in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, the sparsely-watched Eyes of Wakanda and, perhaps, its most surprising success, Marvel Zombies.

    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.”

    For now, that means plenty of Daredevil in the forseeable future which is why Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Krysten Ritter, Deborah Ann Woll and, most interestingly, Mike Colter, will all be in New York this weekend. Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, slated for a March 2026 release, will almost certainly be the centerpiece of Marvel Television’s portion of the panel, with a first look at the new batch of episodes almost a sure thing and some casting announcements very likely, especially with production on Season 3 scheduled for early next year.

    Unlike Daredevil: Born Again, the eight-episode Marvel Spotlight series Wonder 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.

  • The Skinny on the Final Eight Projects in Marvel Studios Multiverse Saga

    The Skinny on the Final Eight Projects in Marvel Studios Multiverse Saga

    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.

    -Paul Bettany

    The series is bringing back Infinity Saga baddies Raza and Ultron and will almost certainly explore some aspects of Tony Stark’s legacy; however, as Vision attempts to rediscover who he is, he’ll also cross paths with his son, Tommy, whose soul now inhabits the body of a young man who was drowned by bullies. Though a first look at the series hasn’t been released yet, it’s shaping up to be a deep, heavy hitting part of the lineup.


    December 18, 2026-Avengers: Doomsday

    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.

  • Major ‘Daredevil’ Character Confirmed for Surprising Return in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’

    Major ‘Daredevil’ Character Confirmed for Surprising Return in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’

    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 2 Daredevil: Born Again Season 3, which films next Spring, though it’s worth pointing out both options are a possibility.

  • Paul Bettany Confirms Major Spoiler for ‘Vision Quest’

    Paul Bettany Confirms Major Spoiler for ‘Vision Quest’

    Marvel Television’s Paul Bettany-led streaming series, potentially titled Vision Quest, has remained remarkably under the radar. For its part, the studio has rarely mentioned the series officially, though it’s likely to be included in its NYCC presentation on October 11th. Despite the studio’s silence, some details about the series emerged over time, including a very interesting cast full of AI beings and one very mysterious young man played by Ruaridh Mollica.

    Though the identity of Mollica’s character has been kept under wraps by the studio, all signs point toward him portraying a young man named “Tucker” who is serving as the vessel for the soul of Tommy Maximoff. That’s not something the studio would come right out and say (it spent over half of Agatha All Along attempting to conceal the true identity of Joe Locke’s character) plenty of insiders have chimed in on the subject. None of them, however, carry the same weight as series star Bettany, who has seemingly confirmed Tommy’s appearance.

    While speaking at Los Angeles Comic Con, Bettany revealed that Vision Quest tells a story of “intergenerational trauma” shared by “fathers and sons.”

    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.

    Paul Bettany on Marvel Television’s streaming series, Vision Quest

    With James Spader set to return as Tony Stark and Bruce Banner’s AI murder bot, Ultron, and much of the series set in a reality other than our own, Vision Quest will see Vision faced with some disturbing realizations while he rediscovers who he is. However, Bettany is clearly speaking about multiple generations and more than one father and more than one son, which all but confirms that his son, Tommy, will indeed appear.

    As seen in Agatha All Along, Billy Maximoff transferred to soul of his brother into a boy who died in a pool as a result of bullies holding his head under water. As Billy did so, he stated that the boy had no family or no one to love him, leaving the door wide open for “Tucker” to have quite a bit in common with his trouble-making comic book counterpart.
