I'm watching New Rockstars' X-Men 97 S2 Ep1-3 analysis, and I happen to notice that while Battlestar Galactica actor is mentioned with the sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica, our beloved Bra'tac is just one of "a ton of stuff". I know Tony had other roles, but Stargate was clearly memorable - at least to us. If I remember NR has reasons not covering Star Trek. But a little mention of Stargate wouldn't hurt.. Or does? What's wrong with "Stargate"?

Edit: Star Trek was mentioned 2 times in the video later. Sorry me feeling envy.

What the hell is this supposed to be from the CinemaCon leak? That red energy looks way too specific. It doesn’t just look like a random effect, it looks like something is being manipulated or controlled by chaos magic.

I’m not saying Wanda is definitely coming back, but who else in the MCU has red power that moves like this? Even if she isn’t physically there, it feels like her energy could still be affecting things. This does not look accidental.

Y’all have ideas or theories? Comic info?

So been thinking about the new spiderman movie... there's a load of interviews out there of the cast saying everyone forgot who spiderman is except from one person?

Any thoughts on who that person is?, just a couple theories

Jean grey.. think I've seen a clip of her saying everyone forget except her... could be fake tho

Hulk.. bruce banner seems not to know him but maybe hulk does.. seems unlikely bassed on the trailer

Venom.. was in a different reality when the spell happened.. dunno if he's in the movie tho

Vulture... don't think the logic behind it works but something makes me think it's him.. he was in a different universe, wasn't explained why, or if he's still there after the spell.. also don't know if he's in the movie..

Mystery bad guy?

Interested in talking deeper about them.. or any other theories people want to discuss.. more just focus on who the one person who remembers who spiderman is

This is not me throwing shade at the new DCU or James Gunn — I’m a huge fan of his ‘Superman’ movie and like his irreverent ‘Peacemaker’ stuff. It’s just that I really, really miss DC making dark, epic, serious, morally complex movies that they used to make so masterfully, be it The Dark Knight Trilogy (2005-12), Man of Steel (2013), Joker (2019) or The Batman (2022).

I am not the biggest fan of ‘Batman v Superman’ and do believe the movies have issues that plagued the DCEU for worse, but I really miss that kind of storytelling in the DC world and comicbook movies in general. Despite Milly Alcock‘s great performance, ‘Supergirl’ was such a generic fluff piece, a wannabe Guardians rip-off. It really made me wonder — is this all the kind of stuff we’re gonna get from the Gunn-DCU?

I really hope that the upcoming ‘Clayface‘ movie does great numbers, it looks promising and unlike anything we’ve seen in this new DCU so far, so that Gunn and WBD gets a clear message from the audience that there is a tremendous appetite in audience for dark, serious, morally complex DC stories and that not everything should be punkrocky and Gunn-y.

‘The Batman: Part II‘ is bound to be great and do great numbers, and there’s a world of chance that it’ll do better than Gunn’s ’Man of Tomorrow’ which I’m deliriously excited for, yet I know which one of these two movies I would prefer. I hope the leadership at WBD and DC too gets the message and make some TDK-style DCU movies, not a whimsical wacky Marvelized DC movie everytime. Don‘t forget your strength, DC.

Grand Theft Auto VI - Official Playlist

… is to make big splashy hype-inducing Hall H presentation! Kevin Feige, the master of the hype machine, has shown the way. When the MCU was going through its roughest patch with a string of underwhelming projects like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania, She-Hulk, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Secret Invasion, coupled with the off-screen legal troubles surrounding Kang actor Jonathan Majors, the maestro didn’t respond by making excuses. Instead, he laid low, worked hard, and put together a grand Hall H presentation announcing Avengers: Doomsday, the return of the Russo Brothers to the director’s chair, and the jaw-dropping return of Robert Downey Jr. to Marvel… as Doctor Doom! The frenzy and collective nerdgasm that announcement generated were beyond words.

Feige is a master of these tactics. He quickly assesses when the chips are down, keeps a low profile, works hard behind the scenes, and returns with announcements that aim to win back the trust of the fandom and reinvigorate interest in the MCU.

Gunn should waste no time in announcing DC Studios’ Hall H presentation. Show footage from Man of Tomorrow**, reveal Adria Arjona’s mystery role, announce something concrete about Batman, spill details about ScarJo’s role in** The Batman: Part II, announce a new spinoff show in the acclaimed Reevesverse/Epic Crime Saga, or unveil whatever else he’s been sitting on.

Stuff like that goes a long way toward reassuring audiences and keeping the core fanbase excited for the future. That enthusiasm naturally spreads to casual moviegoers through word of mouth, generating broader interest and momentum for the DCU.

“You ready?”

Marvel Strike Force has a habit of putting characters into the game to tie in with movies and TV shows.

For July, they're adding both Julia Carpenter and Rachel Cole-Alves into the game and adding them to a team called the Amazing Avengers with Spider-Man and Hulk.

They've done this in the past with MCU movies, adding characters to the roster and creating their own in-game teams, paying homage to them, but not in a carbon-copy way.

Now, yes, this could be a coincidence, or this could be the devs messing with us. Sadie Sink character speculation started with Rachel Cole-Alves. The character is very niche to be adding to the game at this time when there are more popular comic characters. I think most of us ruled out Julia Carpenter, Spider-Woman/Arachne, because of Madame Web. Then I remembered they called her Julia Cornwall, which I remember thinking was odd at the time, as she is much better known as Julia Carpenter. (Yes, she also has some telepathy-based powers.)

Now, while this saga is following the 2015 Secret Wars, I would be remiss if I didn't include that Peter Parker theorised that the alien symbiote mimicked his memories of Julia Carpenter's suit, which he saw during Secret Wars (1984). The symbiote is still someone in the 616 universe.

Marvel does misdirect us all the time. We've not actually seen any footage of Sadie Sink, and we've also not seen any footage of the main villain, not that there has to be one.

Also, to pre-empt the entire "MCU wouldn't use female Spider-Man characters after Madame Web" argument, the MCU never stopped using Spider-Man villains after the failures of Morbius and Kraven the Hunter.

Now, the only valid reason I can see for Jean Grey would be as a Secret Wars MacGuffin. If you don't know, when Doom creates Latverion, all the inhabitants he brings in through the Beyonders' power have their memories of their previous worlds wiped, with only Doom, Strange, and Molecule Man remembering. Jean could play the role of awakening people on Battleworld to the truth. The only other people who know the truth are the people on the liferaft who crashed on Battleworld after it was formed.

Now, the only other extremely wild theory is something that happens regularly during the Secret Wars tie-ins: that this movie isn't set on Earth-616, but on another Earth. The Secret Wars tie-in Spider-Island doesn't follow 616 Peter. Planet Hulk follows Steve Rogers, and I don't mean Gladiator Steve Rogers. I mean the Hulk that we don't actually find out until the end is the real Steve Rogers from an Earth where the super-soldier program used gamma radiation to transform Steve.

If that's the case, then I would definitely be saying it's Jean Grey, as Secret Wars ends with different Earths merging. It's how Miles moves to 616. Since both the Fantastic Four and the X-Men don't exist on MCU 616, it makes sense that this is how they will end up on 616 after the soft reboot. So, having established X-Men characters from another world before Secret Wars would make a lot of sense.

Remember, in the Multiverse there are infinite Earths that can follow similar storylines despite being different Earths. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is an example of that, as they ended up on a branched timeline due to time travel where the world was completely destroyed.

But I want to know how you would feel if, by the end of the movie, we found out that it's set on another Earth that ends with an incursion.

My theory is that Peter suddenly having organic webs in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is not just some random power upgrade. Right? In House of M, Peter Parker is still known as Spider-Man, but after Wanda rewrites reality, the world basically treats him like he’s a mutant. His whole life is different: he’s famous, Uncle Ben is alive, he’s married to Gwen Stacy, and he has the life he was never supposed to have. But the crazy part is that Peter’s real secret in that world is that he was never actually a mutant, everyone just believes he is because of Wanda’s reality rewrite. So what if the MCU is doing a version of that, where Wanda’s magic has already started changing how people’s powers and origins work?

That would make Peter’s organic webs feel way more important than just “oh, he can shoot webs now.” It could be the first sign that Wanda’s spell, death, return, or chaos magic fallout is awakening dormant mutant genes, or rewriting certain enhanced people into something closer to mutants. We know Doctor Strange’s spell already changed the world’s memory of Peter, but I’m not really talking about his identity. I’m talking about Marvel maybe playing with the idea that the world, or even reality itself, starts treating him like a mutant. And if the Jean Grey rumors are true, or if mutants are being introduced through Brand New Day, then Peter changing biologically could be the first hint that the mutant era already started before anyone fully realizes it. Then Vision Quest could be where we finally get the context for what Wanda actually did, how she’s coming back, or whether her magic caused a bigger reset. I just finished House of M, so that’s where this idea came from, but after watching the Brand New Day stuff it immediately made me think of this event. What do y’all think?

Note: This matters because Marvel is actively purusuing the Mutant Saga, and The Scarlet Witch has unrefutable contribution to the whole storyline. SHE literally reset the entire marvel universe.

You keep reporting that Craig Gillespie and Anna Nogueira got very little inspiration from WoT, or at best flipped through a few pages. That is false. Both of them read the book and cited it as a source of inspiration. In Nogueira's case, she said it was a major source of inspiration.

1. Gillespie waited to read the book until after reading Nogueira's script because he said he wanted to develop his own visual identity. I am not saying this is right or wrong, I am saying this is true.
2. In her interview with Brandon Davis, Nogueira specifically said that she read the book many times and marked it up heavily with notes and bookmarks.

Tom King himself was inspired by True Grit when he wrote Woman of Tomorrow, but he changed several things about the story when writing it (for example, in the book and in the 1969 film, Rooster Cogburn does actually kill the Tom Chaney character, who Krem is the facsimile of. So in some ways one could argue Supergirl is actually more faithful to True Grit than Tom King was. The Coen brothers also changed this in their adaptation, where they had Mattie, the Ruthye character, kill Tom Chaney).

I love the book WoT, but why is this adaptation getting dragged through the mud for making narrative changes when Tom King himself did that?

It's disappointing to see the same pattern of everyone else on the internet who just mindlessly parrots things they heard or saw online. So no one is able to think for themselves. If you go into a movie thinking that it sucks, obviously you are going to hate it.

New Rockstars aren't exactly journalists, but I did think that you all held yourself to the standard of only sharing facts, not idle gossip.

>"I very deliberately started with the script that Ana wrote," Gillespie says, "and I put together a lot of visuals around that coming from the script, trying to make something that I would be excited about and that had this grit and flavor of the Supergirl character, Kara."

>If you're a fan of the original comic, don't throw your phone just yet: Gillespie confirms he did eventually look at the original comic for inspiration, and confirms that he borrowed some visuals from Evely's work.

"After that, I went back and visited Tom King's Woman of Tomorrow and took some images from that," he says, "but I didn't want to start there because I didn't want to just do the comic book."

I’m trying to get real answers from people who actually saw the VisionQuest footage shown privately, at NYCC, at an upfront/event, or through any legitimate preview/sizzle reel discussion.

Not “my source says.” Not fake leak bait. I’m asking specifically for people who saw the footage or know what was shown in the room.

Here’s why I’m asking:

Marvel has officially positioned VisionQuest as the final part of the trilogy that started with WandaVision and continued with Agatha All Along. We also know the show is centered on White Vision trying to connect with the original Vision’s memories, including memories from inside the Hex. On top of that, the footage reportedly confirmed grown-up Tommy Shepherd, Wanda and Vision’s son.

So my question is simple:

If VisionQuest is dealing with Vision’s memories, the Hex, Tommy, Ultron, and the aftermath of WandaVision, did the footage acknowledge Wanda Maximoff in any direct way?

I’m looking for specific answers, like:

• Was Wanda shown in a flashback?

• Was Elizabeth Olsen shown at all, even briefly?

• Was Wanda mentioned by name?

• Did the footage include clips from WandaVision or Multiverse of Madness?

• Were there references to the Hex, Westview, Billy, Tommy, the Darkhold, Mount Wundagore, or Scarlet Witch imagery?

• Did Vision react emotionally to Wanda-related memories?

• Did Ultron or any other character mention Wanda?

• Did the footage imply Wanda is dead, missing, remembered, avoided, or still important to the story?

The reason this matters is because Wanda’s MCU status has been unresolved since Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in 2022. Marvel Zombies gave us a Wanda variant/voice return, but Elizabeth Olsen said she recorded that years ago, so I do not see that as proof of current MCU movement.

With VisionQuest coming before Avengers:
Doomsday, I’m trying to figure out whether Marvel is quietly setting up Wanda’s return or intentionally keeping her completely off-screen.

I’m not asking anyone to break rules or post footage. I just want clear descriptions from people who saw it:

Did VisionQuest actually include Wanda in any form, or is her absence still being avoided?

If you saw the footage, please answer with:

• Where/when you saw it

• Whether Wanda appeared, was mentioned, or was only indirectly referenced

• How confident you are

• Whether it seemed like real setup or just background continuity

I need facts, not recycled rumors. Wanda has been gone from live-action for years, and if VisionQuest is really closing the WandaVision trilogy, it feels impossible not to ask whether the Scarlet Witch is finally being addressed.
