The next Star Wars movie hitting theaters, The Mandalorian & Grogu, will continue the story from the Disney+ series. But fans will also get a brand new Star Wars adventure with Starfighter, scheduled for May 2027. This film will star Ryan Gosling and be directed by Shawn Levy, who previously worked on Deadpool & Wolverine.
A lot of the movies and shows planned for release in 2026 will take place in different worlds. Marvel Studios is even considering stories that jump between multiple universes, which opens up a huge range of possibilities. Here’s a look at all the Marvel universes fans can anticipate seeing in 2026, from the familiar main Marvel Cinematic Universe to unique worlds like the one Nicolas Cage portrays in Spider-Noir.
When The Madison premiered in March, it was promoted as a self-contained series focusing on the Clyburn family and their leader, Stacy Clyburn, played by Michelle Pfeiffer. The show centers on the family’s move to Montana’s Madison River Valley and tells a touching story about dealing with grief and loss. While similar in theme to Yellowstone, The Madison offers a different perspective.
Beyond the products we’ve already announced, the company is testing out new character choices for future releases. One exciting example is a new Druid option in playtesting for Dungeons & Dragons that dramatically changes how the class plays – letting players transform into massive creatures that can even fly by level 3! There’s plenty more planned for the tabletop role-playing game, so stay tuned.
Marvel Studios is considering making another Deadpool movie quickly, potentially even before starting work on the planned X-Men reboot. According to industry insider Jeff Sneider, Deadpool 4 could be the next film Marvel makes after they finish shooting ‘Avengers: Secret Wars,’ which would delay the X-Men movie.
Margo’s Fourth of July is a bit low-key. She celebrates with her handsome husband, Jacques (though I’m still not sure what he does for work), her stepchildren, and their daughter. They have some patriotic decorations, party favors, and fries, plus what Margo jokingly calls “posh dogs” – a fancy version of hot dogs, since you can’t find real American ones here. Attempts to buy decent hot dogs usually result in something more like sausage. It’s odd, but every London supermarket has an “American” section filled with sugary cereal, Pop-Tarts, Nerds, and these huge, unappetizing hot dogs in jars filled with liquid – they look like museum exhibits! Still, Margo’s right: the most American thing about the party is the abundance of ice in everyone’s drinks. Whenever I have guests, I offer them water “American style” – meaning with plenty of ice – to show some national pride.
For a moment, the episode led me to believe Robby and Mohan were finally going to resolve their issues. It’s been difficult to watch him constantly criticize and push her. After a particularly emotional scene where Orlando’s wife grieves, Robby asks Mohan how she’s doing, and it actually seemed sincere. When she cautiously asks if it’s a trick question, he says it isn’t, and even reassures her she did everything she could to help the patient. It almost felt like a genuine attempt at connection. But then, when she asks about his mistakes, he coldly responds that he should have suggested a higher jumping point. I was genuinely shocked by that comment! It was a clear sign that the Robby we met in season one is gone, completely changed by trauma and stress. It’s impressive how the show has developed this character – presenting him as one person, then realistically and thoughtfully dismantling him over just two seasons, yet still allowing us to see glimpses of the man we used to know.
It’s a big week with Easter celebrations and the return of Hacks! For those of us devoted to Deborah Vance, it’s a joyous occasion – fans are already gathering with flowers and, of course, plenty of Diet Coke outside her home. If you need a refresher on season four, I’ve included a recap in my newsletter. Now, let’s get back to the excitement: Deborah is alive and well, and TMZ had to retract its false report about her death!
The women on the show often behave as if an episode is the season finale, but it usually isn’t. It seemed like Rachel’s birthday party was intended to be the last one, but after a fight between Erika, Kyle, and Dorit in Italy, producers realized the drama was finally picking up. They extended filming for two more weeks hoping to create a more exciting ending to what had been a fairly uneventful season. Many scenes now feel like they’re meant to tie up individual storylines, which is typical for a finale. For example, Sutton has a conversation with her mother, Reba, about feeling lonely now that her children have left for college. Reba’s advice, as usual, is an odd mix of wisdom and harshness – like a luxurious candle that smells both soothing and painful. You could call it the ‘Reba’!
The second season of Daredevil: Born Again is reimagining a classic Marvel villain, and this change is actually rooted in the character’s comic book history.
