The Jock and Nerd gang are back with a loaded episode!
Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesMarvel Studios may be sitting out of this weekend's storied San Diego Comic Hall H, but that hasn't stopped the big news and updates from pouring in. First, last week in a huge move, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige invited a small group of journalists to Marvel Studios' offices where he laid out the future for the next 5 to 7 years for the MCU. The biggest takeaway, arguably, was Feige's cagey hints regarding a likely reset to the universe during the events of Secret Wars, saying, “Reboot is a scary word; Reboot can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Reset, singular timeline — we're thinking along those lines.” Other tidbits from Feige's comments include a commitment to recasting the X-Men with new actors for their post Secret Wars film, an update on the Mahershala Ali-led Blade film and Sony's mandate that they stay away from a live action Miles Morales until the conclusion of the animated Spider-Verse trilogy. In Marvel news that looks to the more immediate future, director Matt Shakman shared that John Malkovich's role and performance as the Red Ghost has been removed from The Fantastic Four: The First Steps, which opens this week!Superman continues to live up to its name when it comes to its performance, as the superhero flick passed $409 million at the global box office in its second weekend of release. The $58 million second weekend, which is a respectable -54% drop from the opening weekend, is in keeping with 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine and bodes favorably compared to other recent releases from the comic book genre; plus coupled with other wins like A Minecraft Movie and Sinners, the latest success has helped Warner Bros become 2025's top earning studio with $1.32 billion in ticket sales. In other news, Variety confirmed Supergirl writer Ana Nogueira has been tapped to pen the Wonder Woman reboot for the DCU in addition to being attached to a live action Teen Titans project for the studio.Lots and lots of trailers hit the interwebs last week, lets run them down and talk about ‘em:Alien: EarthPredator: BadlandsTron: AresStranger Things S5Mortal Kombat IIChristopher Nolan made history by putting tickets on sale for The Odyssey exactly one year before the film's release, marking the first time any movie tickets have sold a full year in advance.

Editors - William Hoy, ACE and Craig Alpert, ACE Superman editors William Hoy ACE and Craig Alpert ACE didn't need to be told there was a lot riding on this movie. Not only does it represent James Gunn's view on who Superman needs to be for modern movie-going audiences, it also kicks off Gunn's vision of the new DCU. From the first minute of the film, viewers encounter a Superman who bleeds and is grappling with not just his limitations, but also his sense of purpose. It's these complex layers that Bill and Craig balanced through their masterful editing. In James Gunn's new take on the most iconic character in the superhero realm, Superman must prove to the world that he is their protector and not a thread, after billionaire Lex Luthor enacts a plan to turn public opinion against him. William Hoy, ACE Bill is known for his work on No Way Out (1987), Dance with Wolves (1990), The Bone Collector (1999), Dawn of the Planet of The Apes (2014), War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) and The Batman (2022). Craig Alpert, ACE Craig is known for cutting Deadpool 2 (2018), Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm (2020), The Lost City (2022) and Blue Beetle (2023). He was twice nominated for an ACE Eddie award in the category of Best Edited Feature Film: Comedy (Deadpool 2, Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm).

James Gunn's Superman is kicking off the new DC Universe, finally bringing back colour and joy to the DCU.We break down the good, the bad, and the WTF of Superman (2025) — including spoilers. We discuss what works, what worries us, and what we're hyped for.David Corenswet dons the red trunks and cape, delivering a Superman we've been missing. Clark Kent, however, barely gets a byline. Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane sugar addiction has us all a bit concerned. Nicholas Hoult goes bold (and bald?) as Lex Luthor — and unfortunately, he's still rather attractive, leading to some very confusing feelings on Marie's side.Oh, and Krypto the Superdog? Absolute scene-stealer. 10/10. Best boy.Plus, a star-studded cast including Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Edi Gathegi, and more.

After years of anticipation, James Gunn's Superman (2025) has finally arrived—and we have a lot to say. In this epic 4-hour+ episode, the Major Issues crew breaks down every heroic moment, shocking twist, and bold creative decision that sets this film apart from previous incarnations of the Man of Steel. From David Corenswet's debut as Clark Kent to the introduction of DCU's new tone and direction, we leave no stone unturned. How does it stack up against past Superman films? Did Gunn stick the landing? And what does this mean for the future of the DC Universe? Strap in, grab a snack, and join us for our most super-sized conversation yet!
In this episode we talk about what is no doubt the most anticipated movie of 2025, James Gunn's “Superman.” Gunn is more known for his quirky movies with unusual characters engaged in constant frenetic action. This time he takes on the most well-known superhero, the first son of Krypton. No small feat. Can he make everyone with their own idea of who they think Superman should be happy? In this latest Superman movie, Superman (David Corenswet) has been protecting Earth for a few years along with working at the Daily Planet with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan.) In the meantime, his arch nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) is hatching plans with the government to rationalize taking Superman out. Superman just might need all the help he can get and he might get that from the Justice Gang with Green Lantern, Mr. Terrific and Hawk Girl. Also, we can't forget Superman's furry friend, Krypto. Can Superman survive what Lex and the government got coming for him? Is it worth going to the theater to find out? All will be revealed in this episode of Movies Merica. “Superman” also stars Frank Grillo, Alan Tudyk, Maria Gabriela de Faria, Sara Sampaio, Dinesh Thyagarajan, Wendell Pierce, Michael Ian Black, Beck Bennett, Skyler Gisondo and Mikaela Hoover.

Since the new SUPERMAN film was highly anticipated by all, Jimmy decided to do a quick special about it. Sort of waxing on in an off the cuff more stream of conscious way. Maybe he should have taken notes because he rambled on solo for about 20(ish) minutes. Yes, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS throughout. Did the movie live up to the hype? Did too many characters make the film seem overcrowded? Has James Gunn reinvigorated the DC Universe? Tune in to find out what Jimmy thinks! Also, get a hold of us! Thanks for listening!

Mike is joined by Father Malone (Midnight Viewing) and Chris Stachiw (The Kulturecast) to discuss James Gunn's first foray as the head of the "DCU" with his 2025 film, Superman. It's a new interpretation of the Man of Steel as David Corenswet takes to the skies as the lone son of Krypton watches over the people of Earth, much to the chagrin of Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). It's a surprisingly decent entry from DC that may pave the way to a less-dour vision of superheroes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.
