While we won’t be seeing more of the animated Miles Morales for another two years, Sony and Marvel announced at this year’s CinemaCon that the wait for Tom Holland’s live-action Spider-Man is going to be much shorter. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to hit theaters on July 31st, 2026, and both the movie’s logo and subtitle suggest some big changes are on the way.

A mysterious livestream is revealing cast members one at a time — so far including Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, and Anthony Mackie. They’ll appear in Avengers: Doomsday, set to hit theaters on May 1st 2026, with Robert Downey Jr. making his return / debut as Doctor Doom.
It’s taking Marvel 13 minutes to announce each name so far though, so we might be here a while.
Jack Kirby, the iconic comics artist who co-created Marvel’s X-Men and Avengers, and originated DC’s New Gods, is the subject of Kirbyvision, a new documentary from director Ricki Stern (Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, UFOs: Investigating the Unknown).
According to Stern, the doc is her way of pushing for Kirby to finally receive some of the recognition he deserves as the creative wellspring companies like Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery are still drawing from.

Disney Plus’ new Daredevil series is an uneven reboot that’s fighting to leave its past behind.
After making his Disney Plus debut in Daredevil: Born Again, Jon Bernthal’s take on Frank Castle / The Punisher is coming back for his own MCU special à la Werewolf by Night and Guardians of the Galaxy. Per Entertainment Weekly, Bernthal will co-write the special’s script with Reinaldo Marcus Green (We Own This City), who will also direct. Details about the special are thin, but Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum teased it as “a shotgun blast of a story.”
You might not have been keeping up with the development of Marvel’s Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. Disney Plus series, but Deadline reports that the studio is putting all three on hold as it rethinks which projects it wants to prioritize for the MCU’s future.
Peter Parker only had eyes for Pearl Pangan in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’s first season, but that might change when the show returns with a new version of Gwen Stacy in tow.

Marvel’s latest Captain America movie.
It has been a good long while since Marvel debuted a villain with some real pizzaz to them, but the shots of Thunderbolts’ big bad turning people into shadows in the movie’s latest trailer looks promising as hell.

Disney Plus’ new animated Spider-Man series wants you to appreciate what being a community-focused hero looks like.


Ahead of Fantastic Four: First Steps’ new trailer debuting tomorrow, Marvel has dropped a kitschy teaser hyping up the team’s launch into space.
Now listed as self-published by developer Second Dinner instead of ByteDance-owned Nuverse, the card battler has escaped the TikTok ban and is back for iPhone / iPad players, even though the Google Play listing still doesn’t work.
It was only gone for about a week, but now iOS players can download Marvel Snap to new devices and install updates again. TikTok’s fate remains undetermined.

Marvel Rivals already catered directly to existing Overwatch fans with its 6v6 team hero shooter gameplay. Now, its Spring Festival event will follow the season one launch with a 3v3 Rocket League-style limited-time mode that looks just like Overwatch’s Lucioball.
Naturally, there are various unlockables and some new costumes that will become available after the spring event starts on January 23rd at 4AM ET.




Sony has made bad Spider-Man spinoff movies before, but Kraven the Hunter is another level of terrible.
Though none of Sony’s ads for Kraven the Hunter have done a great job making clear what the film’s appeal is meant to be, this lengthy new clip suggests that Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s smolder might be the whole point.
The film surpassed Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as the most-viewed live-action title on Disney Plus and Hulu, Variety reports. Deadpool & Wolverine made its debut on Disney Plus on November 12th.





But Marvel’s WandaVision follow-up stuck the landing by spelling out the secrets that were hiding in plain sight.




Variety is reporting that the next live-action Spider-Man movie has been given a tentative July 24, 2026 premiere date. That isn’t necessarily when the movie will end up coming out, but it definitely tells us that Marvel and Sony are bullish about getting the Destin Daniel Cretton-directed feature into theaters.

Sony’s third Venom feature feels like another throwback to when comic book movies kept things short and silly.
Following the first wave of Disney Plus series coming out on 4K UHD and Blu-ray last year, physical copies of The Mandalorian’s third season, Ahsoka’s first season, Hawkeye’s first season, and Loki’s second season are set to hit stores on October 31st.
Marvel’s new Blade movie seemed less and less likely like it was coming together as the project lost its director and was put on indefinite hold. And now the studio has officially taken the film off of its production slate.

To make the show’s spells feel real, showrunner Jac Schaeffer prioritized practical effects over green screens.
After sailing past the $1 billion mark at the box office, Deadpool & Wolverine is set to release on digital platforms on October 1st, with a Blu-Ray release to follow on October 22nd.



Disney Plus’ new WandaVision spinoff series steers clear of the franchise’s multiversal messiness to do its own thing.
Venom: The Last Dance will see Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock and his symbiote life partner defend the world from a full-on alien invasion. But the might not stand a chance against Knull, who makes a very surprising appearance in the movie’s final trailer.
