Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man – Season 2 (Fall 2026)

Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is set to return for a second season.

X-Men ‘97 – Season 2 (Summer 2026)

X-Men ‘97 Season 2 was one of the major highlights of the panel. Eric and Julia Lewald, the original series creators, returned as Executive Producers, joined by director Larry Houston.

They gave fans a sneak peek of what’s to come, along with exclusive footage from the upcoming season.

Daredevil: Born Again – Season 2 (March 2026)

Marvel’s Daredevil franchise continues to grow, with Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again confirmed for 1Q 2026.

Charlie Cox and Krysten Ritter (reprising her role as Jessica Jones) joined the stage to discuss where their characters will go next.

On top of that, was a special announcement that Season 3 is already in development.

Wonder Man (January 27, 2026)

Moreover, releasing early next year is an exciting new eight-episode series: Wonder Man. This stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley.

The show takes a unique approach by exploring the behind-the-scenes chaos of a superhero movie remake. At the panel, the first trailer for the series also dropped.

VisionQuest (2026)

The final surprise of the panel was VisionQuest, the much-anticipated continuation of the story that began with WandaVision and continued with Agatha All Along.

Paul Bettany joined the panel to talk about Vision’s next chapter and his reunion with James Spader’s Ultron.

A Minecraft Movie was decidedly not for me. However, there’s no denying how much the movie was so effective for younger fans and gamers who grew up with Minecraft. It’s one of the highest-grossing movies this year. Even if I didn’t personally like it, I still consider it a success for videogame adaptations. Now, recognizing the film’s success, Warner Bros. has signed off on a sequel to Jack Black’s blocky caper, as confirmed by Variety.

It’s a mystery where the sequel will take players. Not to spoil anything, but the original movie did end with virtually loose ends neatly tied into a bow. Then again, Minecraft is an endless well of content. Where one story ends, another can just as easily open up in its place. As a game, it’s a completely open sandbox where nothing is limited.

However, to establish continuity, the sequel is reportedly tapping the talents of director Jared Hess once again. Chris Galleta might also come back to write the screenplay.

Interestingly, Jack Black is not confirmed yet. But given how much of a star he was as Steve, it’s hard to imagine a sequel without his energy, so it’s likely that he’s coming back. On a more positive note, Jason Momoa, who co-starred as Garrett Garrison, is expected to co-produce the sequel.

Warner Bros. has currently scheduled the sequel’s premiere on July 23, 2027.

Less than a month ago, Nintendo announced a sequel to the widely lauded Super Mario Bros. Movie. The upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie will take audiences to outer space. It’s based, of course, on the game of the same name. Since the movie is coming out in the first half of 2026, Nintendo doesn’t have a lot of time to hype audiences for the sequel. However, the company might have just sneakily released its first teaser.

Right now, we don’t know much about the sequel’s story. All we know is that most of the main cast is coming back to reprise their roles, including Jack Black as Bowser. However, we still haven’t seen hints of a new character critical to the Galaxy series: Rosalina.

Today, Nintendo posted a mysterious video, titled Close to You, on its social platforms. The four-minute animated video shows an unnamed baby playing in their room. Suddenly, their pacifier starts floating away. The baby tries to get it back, but it floats to a mobile high up above the baby’s crib. The baby then presumably takes their first steps and falls before their mom catches them. Then, the video ends abruptly without so much as a title card.

Though the video is a mystery, there’s a high chance that the baby is Rosalina, Super Mario Galaxy’s space princess. The baby, who is also blonde, is coincidentally wearing the same colors as Rosalina. For a short time, they’re also holding what looks like a wand. Could this be a baby Rosalina?

Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait for Nintendo to confirm the baby’s identity… or even what this video is about. If it is a teaser for the movie, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie premieres on April 3, 2026.
