A new character set to appear is Steve Rogers’ son. The first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday confirmed Chris Evans’ return, showing Rogers in an alternate reality with his and Peggy Carter’s (Hayley Atwell) baby. While Steve Rogers has had multiple children throughout Marvel Comics – including with characters like Sharon Carter, Rogue, and even the Scarlet Witch – if the child in Doomsday is named James Rogers, it could hint at the formation of a new generation of Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As a lifelong Marvel fan and movie buff, I’m really excited to see Yahya Abdul-Mateen II play Wonder Man in the upcoming Disney+ series. But before the show drops in 2026, I thought it would be fun to share some background on the character that even casual Marvel fans might not know. He’s got a surprisingly rich history in the comics!

In a recent interview with GamerBraves, he explained that the team, including creative director Tetsuya Nomura and producer Yoshinori Kitase, didn’t just want to recreate the original game. They aimed to craft a story that incorporates elements from the spin-off titles and the overall spirit of the Final Fantasy 7 universe, giving the entire experience a modern and revitalized feel.

The first of these events, called Expeditions, launched last month with the release of Cold Snap and attracted just over one million players, according to design director Virgil Watkins. However, the development team believes there’s still room for improvement.

At Jump Festa 2026, it was announced that a second season of the anime Blue Box will premiere on Netflix in fall 2026. A new promotional image was revealed, and the official anime account has since shared another, building excitement for the upcoming season. The teaser suggests that winter and the holiday season will play a significant role in the story.

2024 promises several highly anticipated blockbuster games, including the much-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 and Witchbrook, a competitor to Hogwarts Legacy, plus new entries in popular series. However, recent years have shown us that announced release dates aren’t always reliable. According to leaks and rumors, at least three of the biggest potential games for 2026 might be pushed back to a later date.

Looking ahead to 2026, both Marvel and DC are planning exciting new shows – from gritty, street-level stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the introduction of cosmic law enforcement in the DC Universe. Here’s a ranked list of the best ones coming soon.

Recent Star Trek shows are making an effort to connect with the franchise’s history, and as Starfleet Academy continues to play a role in future storylines, this feels increasingly important – and difficult. Thankfully, we’ve seen subtle nods to the past, like references to Wesley Crusher and Harry Kim’s career advancement. A new clip released this week offered another throwback, bringing back the Mugato creature from the original Star Trek series.

Okay, so I’ve been checking out Towerborne, the new game from the team behind The Banner Saga. It’s a really cool mix of beat-’em-up action and RPG stuff. Basically, you play as an Ace, which is this immortal warrior protecting this huge tower called the Belfry from all sorts of monsters. The combat is super fast and feels really good, and there’s a ton of stuff you can do to upgrade your gear, learn new abilities, and customize your character’s build. It really encourages you to try out different things and find what works best for you. Plus, it’s built for co-op, so you can team up with friends!

Currently, Insomniac Games hasn’t officially announced Marvel’s Spider-Man 3. They’ve been focused on Marvel’s Wolverine, which is planned for release in late 2026. However, despite the lack of confirmation, rumors suggest they are also working on a third Spider-Man game to conclude the trilogy. It’s taking longer than many fans expected, especially since Insomniac usually releases these games every two to three years. It now seems likely that Spider-Man 3 won’t be available until the next PlayStation console is released.
