Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesSuper TrailerWarner Bros. released the first full trailer for Supergirl, giving us our best look at Milly Alcock's hard-partying Kara Zor-El as she embarks on an interstellar revenge mission to save her poisoned dog Krypto after villainous Krem leaves him only three days to live. The June 26 release directed by Craig Gillespie adapts Tom King's Woman of Tomorrow comic, featuring Jason Momoa's Lobo as an unlikely ally and Eve Ridley as young Ruthye Marye Knoll, whose parents were murdered by Krem. With James Gunn's punk rock aesthetic and emotional animal stakes reminiscent of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 all over, did this trailer deliver the goods in terms of hyping us up, up and away?Trailer Who LivedHBO unveiled the first trailer for its Harry Potter series last Wednesday, revealing an earlier-than-expected Christmas Day 2026 premiere for the eight-episode first season officially titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod lead the ambitious seven-season adaptation with each season dedicated to one book, reportedly costing around $100 million per episode, making it potentially the most expensive television production of all time. With the trailer becoming the most-viewed in HBO Max history at 277 million views in 48 hours, can this decade-long reboot justify its lofty budget and overcome the controversy surrounding the franchise's creator?Galactically Good Box OfficeRyan Gosling's Project Hail Mary crossed $300M globally to become the highest-grossing film of 2026 so far, but its reign might be short-lived as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is projected to dominate Easter weekend with $175M-$180M domestically over five days and $350M globally. Tracking is running slightly ahead of 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which opened to $204.6M domestically and $377M worldwide before finishing with $1.36B. The $110M sequel reunites Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, and Jack Black while adding Donald Glover as Yoshi and Glen Powell as Star Fox in a recently announced surprise crossover cameo.With first reviews seeming to echo the first film's middling critical reception, will its box office performance be as out of this world as expected?Lightning RoundThis morning Amazon MGM released the official trailer for Masters of the Universe, slated for theaters June 5. Stephen Colbert revealed he's co-writing The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past with his son Peter McGee and franchise veteran Philippa Boyens, adapting six early chapters from The Fellowship of the Ring that were omitted from Peter Jackson's 2001 filmHimesh Patel has been cast in writer-director Ryan Coogler‘s revival of the X-Files and will star opposite the previously cast Danielle Deadwyler. Ryan Gosling is set to star in Universal Pictures' untitled event film directed by The Daniels, the Oscar-winning duo behind Everything Everywhere All at Once. At this time, all major plot details are being kept under wraps. Sonya Walger has been cast as Freya in Prime Video‘s God of War series. Filmmaker Tim Miller has tapped actor Stefan Kapicic to join the cast of his upcoming sci-fi movie starring Keanu Reeves. This reteams Miller who directed Deadpool and Kapicic who played Colossus. Filming has been halted on Amazon MGM Studios' Tomb Raider series due to an injury suffered by series star Sophie Turner. Filming is expected to resume in about two weeks. A24 has released the official trailer for The Backrooms, an upcoming sci-fi horror film starring Renate Reinsve and Chiwetel Ejiofor, marking first-time feature director Kane Parsons' expansion of his viral YouTube found-footage universe. The screenplay, written by Will Soodik, is based on the online urban legend that originally inspired Parsons' series.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesMarvel Studios kickoffs of the summer blockbuster season in just 2 weeks with the release of Thunderbolts* on May 2. With tickets now on sale, box office tracking and projections ahead of the film's release are forecasting a solid, if not somewhat soft, opening weekend; with most estimates landing between $63 to $77 million. While that is on the lower side for an MCU movie, optimists believe the general lower level of familiarity with the characters on the roster, combined with the positive test screenings, could give the film significant potential and room to grow in subsequent weeks via word of mouth. Elsewhere, Captain America actor Anthony Mackie offered some insights on Avengers: Doomsday while promoting Twisted Metal Season 2 for Peacock, saying, “It's going to give the audience that old Marvel feeling that they always had.”The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the introduction of a new Oscar category for Achievement in Stunt Design, set to debut at the 100th Academy Awards in 2028, honoring films released in 2027. This decision follows years of advocacy from industry professionals, including director and former stuntman David Leitch and stunt coordinator Chris O'Hara, who was notably credited as the first official "stunt designer" for his work on The Fall Guy. While the specific criteria and presentation details are yet to be finalized, this move is seen as a significant step toward recognizing the creative and technical artistry of stunt professionals in filmmaking. However, there is notable disappointment that earlier works, such as Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible series, will not be eligible for this new recognition.HBO has officially announced the adult cast for its upcoming Harry Potter TV series, confirming several roles and actors we've discussed, along with new additions. John Lithgow will portray Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer is cast as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu takes on Severus Snape, and Nick Frost will play Rubeus Hagrid. Additionally, Luke Thallon has been cast as Professor Quirinus Quirrell, and Paul Whitehouse will portray Argus Filch. Casting for the central trio—Harry, Ron, and Hermione—is still underway, with over 32,000 children auditioning for these iconic roles. In an interview with Deadline, Warner Bros' Mike De Luca and Pam Abby confirmed that the studio is moving forward with sequels to A Minecraft Movie and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. This weekend, A Minecraft Movie crossed a half a billion dollars at the global box office.A24 has released the first trailer for Ari Aster's Eddington, which stars Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Emma Stone. The film will premiere next month at the Cannes Film Festival and then will release in theaters on July 18th.Comedian Nate Bargatze will host the 77th annual Emmy awards which will be held on September 14th The Last of Us season 2 debuted to 5.3 million viewers, a 13% increase from the season 1 premiere.Insider Jeff Sneider is reporting that a remake of the 1988 horror cult classic Killer Klowns From Outer Space is in the works at MGM with Ryan Gosling attached to produce. This scoop is currently unconfirmed at this time.Jurassic Park star Sam Neill has joined the cast of the upcoming Godzilla x Kong monsterverse sequel which will be directed by Grant Sputore.Ahead of Star Wars Celebration this weekend, a new Darth Vader novel titled Master of Evil from author Adam Christopher has been announced which will release on November 11th.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Fixate & Binge Podcast -- in this latest episode, Joe discusses the ugly campaign picking up steam with the casting announcements for HBO's new Harry Potter series and discusses (with examples) why this is hypocrisy of the highest order and a huge step back towards tolerance and equality.Joe also discusses two new films -- one of which is streaming now on Netflix: THE ELECTRIC STATE starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt that seems like an enormous waste of Netflix subscription money being flushed down the toilet.The other, is a reminder that the spy thriller subgenera is still very much alive in Steven Soderbergh's BLACK BAG starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett, a flawless film of espionage and intrigue rarely captured this well in cinema.

In this episode, we dive into James Gunn's Star Wars-inspired vision for the DC Universe, dissect the first two episodes of Skeleton Crew, and rave about Creature Commandos. We also discuss exciting Harry Potter series casting news, share reactions to the Snow White trailer, and analyze Riot Games' entry into trading card games with Project K.

Skeleton Crew captures the nostalgic charm of 80s adventures with practical effects reminiscent of classic Star Wars. Riot Games' Project K has the potential to reshape the TCG industry with its structured, esports-style competitive environment. Creature Commandos combines quirky characters with intense action, earning rave reviews as a standout addition to DC's lineup. The Snow White trailer reveals a bolder, more active protagonist, but CGI dwarves remain a point of contention among fans. Memorable Quotes “James Gunn's DC is about creating a galaxy of stories, much like Star Wars. It's not all about one big saga—it's about letting each story thrive in its own universe.” “Creature Commandos might be the dark horse of the DCU—it's fun, creepy, and full of surprises.” “The best part of Skeleton Crew? It's unapologetically earnest, a rare gem in today's over-complicated storytelling.” Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?
