Most Marvel fans are familiar with the popular heroes, but there are many other characters with interesting stories. Over the years, quite a few of these lesser-known heroes have had their own comics or been part of teams, gaining a following before fading into obscurity. Here are ten awesome Marvel characters who haven’t gotten much attention, so many fans might not even know they exist.
Okay, so the last chapter dropped a lot of hints about some really important characters, especially this mysterious figure called the Prototype. It was awesome, but it also left me with so many questions! Now, everyone’s buzzing about when Chapter 6 of Poppy Playtime is coming out and what’s going to happen next. I’ve been digging around, so here’s everything I’ve found out so far about the next chapter.
Warner Bros. is reportedly working on a Game of Thrones movie. Beau Willimon, known for House of Cards and Andor, is writing the screenplay. While it’s still in the early stages, the movie is expected to focus on Aegon’s Conquest – the historical event that unified Westeros and established the Targaryen dynasty centuries before the original series. A TV series covering the same period, written by Mattson Tomlin of The Batman, is also in development. Studio executives will likely choose one of these projects, though it’s possible both could move forward, each covering different aspects of the story.
Variety reports that NBC is ending the long-running show Access Hollywood, which has been on the air since 1996 and produced over 12,000 episodes. The show initially competed with Entertainment Tonight on CBS. While new episodes will continue to air until September, Access Hollywood will conclude its broadcast run after that.
Apex has obtained a significant amount of secret information from Monarch, particularly regarding Skull Island – unsurprising, considering the two organizations previously collaborated on a research facility there. The leaked data also includes an unexpected mention of Mothra (identified as “Titanus Mosura”) and references to King Ghidorah and Outpost 32. However, the most intriguing discovery is a hint suggesting the emergence of a completely unknown Titan.
It appears many people want to continue the story of The Expanse. Wes Chatham, who played Amos Burton, is also hoping for more seasons to properly conclude his character’s arc. In an interview with ComicBook about his new show, Cross, Chatham expressed his strong interest in revisiting the role and spanning a 30-year timeline to bring the story to a satisfying close. While nothing is confirmed, he believes there’s a desire and ongoing discussion about making it happen.
Netflix’s new true-crime documentary, The TikTok Killer, quickly became a hit, racking up over four million views in its first week. That’s 600,000 more views than the true-crime series A Friend, a Murderer: Limited Series. It was one of the most popular shows on the platform, only surpassed by The Dinosaurs and Bridgerton.
Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, actually had the same worry during production. On the official Netflix podcast, One Piece: Into the Grand Line, Oda discussed how Chopper’s design evolved. He initially wanted Chopper to look more realistic, but realized that would be unsettling. He told his team to imagine Chopper as a plush toy, explaining that making him too realistic would fall into the ‘uncanny valley’.

Although Marvel is keeping the exact story of Avengers: Doomsday under wraps, recent trailers have given us a sense of what the movie will be about. We know Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is back, and the trailers suggest the stakes are incredibly high. We see Thor (Chris Hemsworth) praying for strength for a final fight, and Scott Summers (James Marsden) surveying the ruins of the X-Mansion. Most importantly, the latest trailer shows the Wakandans – Shuri (Letitia Wright) and M’Baku (Winston Duke) – inviting the Fantastic Four to discuss a mysterious and dangerous threat. This hints that the movie will draw heavily from the 2015 Secret Wars comic, which features a bleak outlook where everything is destined to end. Wakanda’s involvement specifically suggests the film may include one of the most shocking and darkest turns in Marvel history.
