After months of buzz about a potential Superman spin-off show starring the Man of Steel’s best friend, Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo), HBO Max has confirmed that The People v. Gorilla Grodd — a half-hour comedy / “true” crime docudrama about a superintelligent ape (Jimmy Tatro) accused of murder — has been ordered to series.
The X-Men are about to offically join the MCU, and we’ve gotten a glimpse at some of the cast. But the bigger question is, what comic arc should they turn to for inspiration? And don’t say The Dark Phoenix Saga — they’ve already screwed that up… twice.
We’ve had a couple trailers for Lanterns already, but now you can watch the opening scenes in full on YouTube, including a look at John Stewart’s (Aaron Pierre) unorthodox upbringing. The grounded, True Detective-inspired series premieres on HBO Max this Sunday.
Though the idea of a Star Wars and Marvel crossover comic sounds kind of terrible, that isn’t stopping Kevin Smith and artist David Marquez from working on Hope Assembles — a five-issue limited series that will “anchor the Star Wars franchise firmly in Marvel’s 616 universe” remix aspects of A New Hope.

Despite Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s success, the MCU is on shaky ground.
The writing has been on the wall about Marvel’s Blade movie starring Mahershala Ali being dead in the water, but in a new interview with GQ, the actor explains why he’s done talking about the project falling apart:
Those questions are for them. They didn’t want to do it, so they should answer that question.
In addition to the new season, three extended-length episodes have also been greenlit, including a Christmas special for 2027. And, unlike season 13, this one won’t drop in one giant, bingable chunk. Season 14 will return to weekly episodes.
We heard the Adult Swim psychedelic thriller about the medical industry would be returning, but that was way back in March of 2025. At Comic-Con, it was revealed that said return would be happening in “early 2027,” and we even got a quick peek at what’s to come.
The latest entry in the series was given a firm release date at Comic Con 2026, after being revealed during a Sony State of Play showcase in early June. Unlike previous God of War titles, this one won’t focus on angry dad Kratos, instead following the more dexterous mom Laufey.
If there was any doubt that DC Studios’ Clayface feature was going to be a proper body horror, the movie’s latest trailer makes it pretty clear that director James Watkins has cooked up something that’s going to make your skin crawl.
Matt Reeves’ follow-up to The Batman has been delayed once again, and Warner Bros. now plays for the film to debut on Feb. 18, 2028. In the meantime, you can check out this new screen test from the film.
Supergirl’s less-than-stellar debut is a reminder that the DCU is fighting an uphill battle.
While the first teaser for HBO’s upcoming Lantern series felt a little to grounded, the new one actually gives us a pretty good look at how Hal Jordan’s superpowers are going to look on the small screen.
It’s been a while since we heard anything new about Disney’s Agatha All Along followup, VisionQuest, but Disney has just pegged the series for an October 14th premiere.
Bandai has given its new Science Saru-produced The Ghost in the Shell reimagining a July 7th premiere date on Amazon Prime Video.
Hot on the heels of its new AI-powered localization tools, Webtoon is partnering with AI avatar firm Genies to launch a new chatbot feature that will allow users to “talk” with characters from comics featured on the platform.
Deadline reports that WBD’s shareholders have “overwhelmingly” voted the sell the legacy studio to Paramount Skydance for $31 per share. Shareholders rejected a proposed compensation package for current CEO David Zaslav that could range from $500-800 million. But Zaslav could still wind up walking away with a lot of money because that vote was non-binding.
The latest poster for DC Studios’ upcoming Clayface movie — out October 23rd — from director James Watkins definitely leans into a kind of body horror that’s very different for the DCU. That kind of energy could be nice change of pace as the studio builds its new cinematic universe.
Update: And now we’ve got a trailer.
Though we knew Jon Bernthal was co-writing a Punisher-focused streaming special for Disney Plus, the streamer has just announced that it will premiere on May 12th, right as the second season of Daredevil: Born Again comes to a close.
The entire point of HBO’s upcoming Lanterns series is to introduce new incarnations John Stewart and Hal Jordan — two superpowered space cops — to DC Studios’ cinematic universe. But Lanterns first teaser trailer makes it seem like the show might feel much more like True Detective when it premieres in August.
Disney Plus is teasing Jessica Jones’ return to the MCU in this new teaser trailer for Daredevil: Born Again’s upcoming second season, and it looks like the detective is going to be knocking heads.
Disney Plus’ latest superhero series is dropping at a time when the MCU feels like it’s moving back to square one.

Gorilla Grodd — DC Comics’ gorilla supervillain who has longstanding beef with the Flash — is set to be the focus of DC Crime, a new HBO Max “true” crime docuseries hosted by Daily Planet reporter Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo). No premiere date yet, but Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault are attached to write / showrun the project.
Deadline reports that Netflix has tapped I Saw the TV Glow director Jane Schoenbrun to write and direct an adaptation of Charles Burns’ comic, Black Hole. Like the comic, the new series will tell the story of a town where a virus turns sexually active teens into strange monsters.
First, Yahya Abdul-Mateen showed up at the Fantastic Four: First Steps premiere, giving in-character interviews as Simon Williams — the star of Disney Plus’ upcoming Wonder Man miniseries. And now, Marvel has dropped a Wonder Man teaser that makes it seem like the show will be about an in-universe superhero movie reboot.
Soon, Disney Plus subscribers will have access to a “curated selection of content” on a new digital comics platform that’s being developed by Disney and Webtoon. In addition to thousands of classic titles from the Marvel, Star Wars, and 20th Century Studios brands, the platform will feature original Webtoon series.
While Marvel has released TV-MA projects before, the new trailer for Marvel Zombies makes it look like the series is really going to earn that rating by piling on as much (animated) blood and guts as possible.
Sony decided to go the live-action route for its upcoming Spider-Verse spinoff series starring Nic Cage’s Spider-Man Noir, but Deadline reports that the studio is in the early stages of developing an animated Spider-Punk feature co-written by Ajon Singh (Primetime) and Daniel Kaluuya, who will presumably reprise his role as Hobie Brown.
