Since 2019, Hollywood has delivered a wave of new superhero stories for both movies and television, many of which deliberately challenged the traditional formulas of Marvel and DC. While some attempts, like the brief foray into superpowers on the show Riverdale, felt forced, others successfully reinvented the genre. Films such as Deadpool & Wolverine, and series like Invincible, Harley Quinn, Jupiter’s Legacy, The Boys’ spin-offs, Gen V, I’m A Virgo, and The Penguin have entertained audiences while also offering fresh and unexpected takes on the superhero concept.
April saw a surge in investment into Bitcoin ETFs, with $1.97 billion flowing in – making it the best month of 2026 so far.
