With filming for the upcoming DCU movie, Man of Tomorrow, starting this month in Atlanta – directed by James Gunn who also wrote the script – news about who will be cast is becoming more frequent. This week, reports suggest several actors are being considered to play Maxima, a complex alien queen from Almerac who has a complicated history with Superman, sometimes opposing him, sometimes helping, and even becoming a potential love interest.

I’m really loving the way these are designed! They’ve somehow managed to combine serious performance – like those super grippy Vibram soles – with a look that’s totally wearable every day. They’ve got these cool suede touches, and XLIM keeps the branding really clean and simple, which I appreciate.

The show Emily in Paris centers around Emily Cooper, a marketing professional from Chicago who moves to Paris to work at a French marketing company and offer a fresh, American viewpoint. Created by Darren Star, who also made Sex and the City, the series stars Lily Collins, along with Lucas Bravo, Ashley Park, Lucien Laviscount, and Bruno Gouery.

There were plenty of potential Young Avengers characters introduced, suggesting a project was in the works. However, the introduction of new heroes stopped, and hints about the team forming disappeared. It appears Marvel changed course when they switched from planning Avengers: The Kang Dynasty to Avengers: Doomsday, which impacted their plans for these characters.

Starring Morena Baccarin as Sheriff Mickey Fox, Sheriff Country is a new series connected to the popular CBS show Fire Country, which premiered in October 2025. The cast also includes Christopher Gorham (known from Ugly Betty), Michele Weaver (Love Is), Matt Lauria (Friday Night Lights), and W. Earl Brown (Scream). Despite the first season still broadcasting weekly episodes until its May finale, the show was quickly renewed for a second season in December 2025.

The new series, Eternally Yours, is a family comedy filmed with a single camera. It stars Ed Weeks and Allegra Edwards as Charles and Liz, a vampire couple who’ve been married for 500 years, but their relationship has lost its spark.

Tommy Wirkola, the Norwegian filmmaker behind movies like “Dead Snow” (2009), “The Trip” (2021), and “Violent Night” (2022), wrote and directed “Thrash.” While those earlier films were decent, “Thrash” unfortunately doesn’t measure up. It feels hastily made and like a collection of disconnected ideas with a weak storyline.

The Regal Cinemas website describes Spider-Man: Brand New Day as a story where Peter Parker attempts to return to a normal life and focus on college after a devastating event. However, when a new danger threatens his friends, he’s forced to become Spider-Man once more, joining forces with a surprising partner to keep them safe.

This year promises some great new content, and the upcoming Punisher series is particularly exciting. It’s the first time the character has been the focus of his own story since the Netflix shows, and it could mark the beginning of a fresh and promising direction for Marvel’s TV projects. This ‘Special Presentation’ could be the start of a really thrilling period for the MCU.

Writer Alex de Campi recently told The Guardian about the upcoming graphic novel Dan Dare: First Contact from B7 Comics. She explained that finding her old Dan Dare collections while moving inspired her to bring the classic 1950s sci-fi hero to a new audience.
