Join hosts Peter and Eddie on this exciting episode of The Marvelists as they sit down with veteran actor Alex Hyde-White for an in-depth conversation about his long and varied career in film, television, voice acting, and audiobook narration. Alex opens up about his diverse body of work, from memorable roles in major films like Pretty Woman, Catch Me If You Can, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, to his early days as one of the last contract players at Universal Studios. He also discusses his successful transition into audiobook narration—winning Audible's New Narrator of the Year Award in 2011, founding Punch Audio, and narrating over 100 titles with his versatile British-American accents. The conversation dives deep into his iconic Marvel connections: portraying Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in Roger Corman's legendary unreleased 1994 Fantastic Four film, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from that cult phenomenon. Alex then reflects on returning to the Marvel universe with a cameo appearance alongside his 1994 co-stars in the 2025 Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Whether you're a fan of classic Hollywood, superhero history, or the art of audiobook storytelling, this candid and entertaining interview with Alex Hyde-White is one Marvelists episode you won't want to miss!
The first major look at SUPERGIRL has finally arrived, and fans are already fired up. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the brand-new Supergirl trailer, the early reactions to the initial footage, and why some viewers are comparing her vibe to "a female Star-Lord." Is this the tone James Gunn and DC are aiming for, and does the trailer live up to the hype? We dig into every detail with a full Supergirl trailer breakdown. We also cover several major stories across the entertainment world. Fantastic Four's Disney+ launch fizzles, raising questions about Marvel's momentum. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson return to The Hunger Games, signaling a surprising new direction for the franchise. On the sci-fi front, we discuss the first look at Steven Spielberg's mysterious UFO film, including reported plot details and potential titles that have fans buzzing. And over in the MCU, it looks like the highly anticipated AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY trailer may be delayed yet again. With rumors suggesting we may not see it this week—or even next week—the anticipation continues to build. From DC's big Supergirl reveal to Marvel shake-ups, Hunger Games updates, and Spielberg's latest project, this episode is packed with analysis, speculation, and industry insight.

How important is Clea as a tone-setter for this team, and did you always intend for her to have this much presence, or did she just start taking over scenes once you started writing her?In issue #6 you've still got Carnage on the board, even though Eddie Brock: Carnage is wrapping up soon. You told me before you basically had to negotiate for every character. How are you keeping Carnage meaningfully involved long-term — not just as shock value, but as an actual team member — without breaking what Charles Soule did with him in his own corner?By issue #6, it feels like New Avengers is fully embracing chaos — you've got Bucky trying to lead a team of killers, liars, and literal monsters, while the line between heroism and survival keeps getting blurrier. How much of this book is about what it really means to be an Avenger when the ideals that title stands for just don't work anymore?We see Iron Apex actively working to bust out more members of the Kiluminati — Lord Britain and Rapunzel — while the team is still trying to figure out how to survive Evil Doctor Strange. How big is the Kiluminati conspiracy compared to what we've seen so far? Are we still at the “first wave,” or are you already building toward something closer to a war between their dark Illuminati and Bucky's crew?Guru Strange in issue #6 is… a lot. He's powerful, unhinged, and kind of grossly horny in a way that makes him instantly memorable. How did you find the voice for these twisted “duplicates”? Are you treating each Kiluminati member like a dark-mirror riff, or are you building them as full-on new villains with their own agendas beyond “evil version of X”?You've already said you wanted these New Avengers to feel like a Fast & Furious family — volatile, high-powered, kind of toxic, but ride-or-die when it counts. At this point in the story, do you see them actually becoming a “family,” or are they only ever going to be a barely-controlled disaster pointed at bigger disasters?The book's really leaning into sex and intimacy — especially with Black Widow and Winter Soldier in issue #6 — but it doesn't feel like empty heat. It feels messy and fragile and dangerous. Is Bucky/Nat the emotional core of this book going forward, and how hard are you planning to break them to test that core?Sensitivity coordinatorYou've talked about how continuity on this book is basically “Marvel Universe on steroids,” with characters being borrowed from multiple offices. Now that you're this deep — Hulk, Carnage, Clea, Bucky, etc. — what's the biggest creative win from that shared custody? Has any other office (or creator) dropped something in your lap that made you go, “Oh, that just unlocked the next arc”?Leadership in New Avengers feels like a losing battle — what would Cap say about Bucky's job so far as team leader?Extremely serious journalism question to close: If the New Avengers and the Kiluminati had to compete on a Bravo-style dating show where everyone is forced to live in one mansion and hook up or strategize, who (A) immediately starts sleeping with the enemy, (B) is secretly there just to stab someone, and (C) wins the whole thing without anyone realizing they were playing?

Mass Movement Presents… Episode 86: In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream. In which the middle-aged crew wax lyrical about Alien Earth, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, The Surfer, Highest 2 Lowest, and Peacemaker, sample Koval Distillery's finest bourbon, whip up some Old Fashioneds with a little help from Cocktail Kits 2 Go, chat about Hornby, Airfix, and Tamiya,get Mad As Hell about passive-aggression and spend some time chatting about some of the latest and greatest four colour books. And in the midst of all the chaos, they somehow find time tospin tunes from Positive Reaction, System Reset, and The Stayawakes.Tune in, turn it up, and geek out. This one's a dozy…
The dust has settled, both books have wrapped up their stories, and the time has come for the closing credits. So, we have a weird end of story crossover between the two books. Still, the hot dogs are being slung and the stories are getting told. So, let's get into it, shall we? Nothing beats that feeling you get when you hang out with friends, eating some grilled food, and chatting about how awesome your life is and the amazing adventures you have had. I do not know that feeling, but I have heard it is fantastic. And by good food, I am talking about great hot dogs. We can have giant discourses on what is the best and what to put on the dog, but at the end of the day, it is personal preference. Find what you like and take a bite. And do not forget the beer. We, at Jeff and Rick Present, support the sharing of beer with friends. It is kinda our thing. Get it....thing...the Thing. Beer.... Look, this is not rocket science folks. If you are not going to laugh at my jokes, then I am going to get mad. And when I get mad, I tend to pull the ears of dogs that can teleport people. Anyway, you should have music at a party. It helps with the digestion of hot dogs and beer. This is a proven scientific fact. Also, fire guitars are an awesome gift for any pyromaniacs you may know. I guess that we can have a little romance in this story. I still am not totally sold on these two. And it does seem like this is one of the last times we see Darla, but it is cute. Enjoy your time in the sun.....on the moon. And so, that is a wrap on this series. Overall, it was a pretty good story. It would have been nice if we could have gotten a little more of Fraction on the title, and it felt cramped near the end, but it was still a good story. And now, we move onto the Young Avengers. Hooray! We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble. We have a couple of nifty shirts for sale. https://www.redbubble.com/people/jeffrickpresent/?asc=u Check out the artwork for this episode: https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2025/11/25/fantastic-four-v4-16-ff-v2-16-4/ You can also subscribe and listen to us on YouTube!

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 335: Jess Hall Cinematographer Jess Hall, ASC, BSC reunited with director Matt Shakman to bring the retro-future world of The Fantastic Four: First Steps to life. The two had collaborated on several projects together, such as Marvel's Wandavision. “I have a lot of faith in Matt Shakman,” says Jess. “I went into it with a lot of goodwill behind me. I was very aware that this was one of the original Marvel, it is the first family of Marvel, so I took that responsibility very seriously. I got very well prepared and I made sure that I was making choices that I thought would bring success to the project as well as tell the story that Matt wanted to tell.” Fantastic Four: First Steps required a higher level of pre-production planning than most, involving intense collaboration with the special effects team and production design. Many complicated sequences were prevised to meticulously establish the intended 1960s aesthetic. Jess achieved this period look through his lighting, camerawork, and lens choices. For the majority of the cinematography, he chose the relatively new Panavision Ultra Panatar II lenses, which coved the IMAX camera and were customized to his specifications. He also used a 16mm camera and Hasselblad lenses for some of the newsreel sequences. Color was crucial for establishing the 1960s aesthetic, and Jess infused it with a comic book vibrancy. He was inspired by a 1968 Fantastic Four comic book, creating a unified color palette for the LUT that featured blue, green, orange, and pale blue. Complex lighting setups were essential, incorporating miniatures, bluescreens, blackscreens, and motion capture performances. Jess opted for tungsten lights on Mr. Fantastic's (Pedro Pascal) lab set—a deliberate, retro choice that grounds the technology in the past. He found controlling the light challenging on bluescreen and blackscreen stages, as the lack of background required him to carefully conceive and control the light sources to maintain a sense of photorealistic depth. The production team prioritized creating as much of the film practically as possible to achieve the photoreal look director Matt Shakman wanted, with characters and scenes enhanced with VFX in post. Both Ben Grimm “The Thing” (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) performed in motion capture suits. Rather than working on a volume stage, blue screens and black screens were used for the space sequences. A miniature scale model of the Fantastic Four's ship helped bring it to life, while a realistic 1960's Times Square set was built for the New York action sequences. For the planet-eater Galactus, Jess had a unique practical concept: treating him like a miniature. An extremely detailed costume was constructed, and Galactus moved through a small-scale set. Jess used specialized lighting and camerawork on his suit to create the illusion of the villain's immense, terrifying size.
