THIS WEEK: A little over a month away, and no big announcements for SDCC have been made before the news of Marvel Studios not attending this year. Will fans get the event they paid for? Plus, all the news on what's happening in our favorite fandoms this week and more.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we recap our attendance at the Adelaide Mega Toy Fair event. This annual event promotes itself for its long running campaign; but with new organisers this year, how did it actually go? We chat towards what we spotted, what we think needs to be improved & what we scored!! Spoiler alert: Pub Lunch & making a day of it with great friends, is always the overall highlight!! Then Trent does an awesome Toyline Retrospective on the early 80's franchise that was: Blackstar! With a Filmation Cartoon airing first in 1981; then a corresponding Toyline from Galoob in 1983! Featuring the fight between our Hero: John Blackstar against the Evil Ruler: Overlord on the Planet Sagar. This Toyline & franchise actually has more ties to Masters Of The Universe than one may think.... There are some EPIC Beasts, questionable modes of transport & the incredibly sort after Ice Castle Playset - this Franchise really tried hard & its interesting to think in a sliding doors parallel reality - could this have been a more popular franchise than Masters Of The Universe?! Then rounding out the episode, we squeeze a quick round table, around some of our Latest Scores!

Marvel Studios won't be putting on their main event presentation in the hallowed Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con this year. As big of a bummer as this may be, Sean discusses why it makes sense for Marvel and what we may still see from the company at SDCC next month.

GET YOUR MULTIVERSE NEWS MERCH HERE:https://multiverse-news-shop.fourthwall.com/Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesDuring a recent appearance on Carmelo Antony's 7 PM in Brooklyn Podcast, Black Panther director Ryan Coogler reignited speculation that Denzel Washington is set to play a pivotal role in the third film of his socially thoughtful superhero franchise. When questioned about Washington's prior claims that Coogler was developing the film with a role intended for him specifically, the director confirmed them, saying, “there's no fiction out there about that”. In unrelated, but still Marvel news, tickets for The Fantastic Four: First Steps went on sale last week, crashing several major theaters online ticketing services and accompanied by a new trailer that appears to show us our first look at Franklin Richards. On the TV side of things, per Deadline sources, Schitt's Creek actor Emily Hampshire has joined the cast of the upcoming Vision Disney Plus series as E.D.I.T.H., the artificial intelligence that appeared in Spider-Man: Far From Home. And finally, a second trailer for Ironheart was released on Monday.Late last week, Superman director and DC Studios co-head, James Gunn took to social media, as he is want to do, to announce and celebrate the completion of the film's final visual effects shot, with which he claimed the film to be 100% done ahead of its July 11 release. In the wake of that announcement Gunn took the opportunity to address fan questions surrounding the film's runtime, which he confirmed to be 2 hours and 9 minutes including credits and post credit scenes, while also kiboshing any speculation that Warner Bros had forced a shorter, mandated runtime, saying there was zero truth to it and that Warner Bros could not have interfered even if they wanted to, as it's a DC Studios film. All of this is compounded by rumors that DC Studios will not be focusing on any of their films at SDCC and Gunn's cagey Entertainment Weekly interview from earlier today where he claimed the DCU's Wonder Woman film is being written as we speak.Time for another good old fashioned trailer park, featuring the highly anticipated follow-up to last year's breakout hit, Wicked: For Good, whose first trailer garnered 113 million views in its first 24 hours – and our first full length trailer for Noah Hawley's upcoming FX series, Alien: Earth, which also announced the series for an August 12 premiereMarvel Animation premiered the first episode of the Disney Plus series Eyes of Wakanda during a panel at the Annecy Animation Festival in France, Monday morning. During the panel we learned from director Todd Harris the show will be “anthology-adjacent” and will consist of four episodes.Mia Goth has joined Ryan Gosling in Star Wars: Starfighter, the feature from director Shawn Levy. Although casting details are scarce at the moment, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that she will be playing a villain. HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series has announced nine actors playing key roles for its first season tackling Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The added cast includes Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley, Lox Pratt as Draco Malfoy, Johnny Flynn as Lucius Malfoy, Leo Earley as Seamus Finnigan, Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, Sienna Moosah as Lavender Brown, Bel Powley as Petunia Dursley, Daniel Rigby as Vernon Dursley and Bertie Carvel as Cornelius Fudge. Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, will reprise the role on Broadway.  Felton will join the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway starting Nov. 11, for a 19-week engagement through March 22, 2026. A VR game based on Marvel's Deadpool franchise is set to launch later this year from Meta Quest with Neil Patrick Harris voicing the Merc with a Mouth. The game will launch sometime later this year. 

On this episode of THE GEEK BUDDIES, John Rocha and Michael Vogel discuss if DC is skipping SDCC over Superman reception concerns, their spoiler review of Predator: Killer of Killers, their thoughts on the WB split, the new castings in the Harry Potter TV series, a Thor 5 film reportedly in the works and the new trailers for IRONHEART and STAR TREK STRANGE NEW WORLDS S3!

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes.In a fairly shocking move, Marvel Studios will not have one of its classic Hall H presentations at San Diego Comic Con this year. Due to Avengers: Doomsday filming, the studio is opting not to pause production to fly actors to California. Marvel will still have panels and events throughout SDCC, just not the spectacle of Hall H, which has become a mainstay for the MCU particularly. This news is coupled with a recent appearance from the cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps at the CCPX promotional fan event in Mexico City last weekend, as well as buzz surrounding a supposed test screening for the fast approaching filmAt the TUDUM fan event this weekend, Netflix finally revealed the final season of Stranger Things will air in three parts late this year. The first will premiere November 26, followed by part two on Christmas and the series finale on New Year's Eve .Netflix also unveiled trailers for two of its anticipated upcoming films, Frankenstein - directed by Guillermo del Toro - and Knives Out 3: Wake Up Dead Man - directed by Rian Johnson. The films premiere in November and December, respectively, and both feature star-studded casts - something we've come to expect from Johnson's Knives Out films and what makes sense for a filmmaker as storied as del Toro. Frankenstein features Oscar Isaac in the titular role, as well as Jacob Elordi as the Monster, plus Mia Goth, and Christoph Waltz. Knives Out 3 is helmed once again by Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, and has a list of A-lister stars including Jeremy Renner and Kerry Washington.The second full summer box office weekend was favorable, with Disney's live action Lilo & Stitch up 51 percent from the prior week, and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning climbing up 55 percent. Sony's Karate Kid Legends opened to a $20 million domestic weekend as well. Seems like it's all sequels all the time right now for the summer box office.If insider Jeff Schneider's latest scoop is to be believed, Laura Linney has joined the cast of HBO's Lanterns series in an undisclosed role.HBO Max has renewed Emmy award winning series Hacks for a fifth season, which will make the series the longest-running live-action show in HBO Max's history.The highly-anticipated Elden Ring movie at A24 helmed by Alex Garland may be zeroing on a familiar face to lead the epic adaptation. Sources tell Deadline the director is in talks with Kit Connor, who recently appeared in his war pic Warfare, to star in the adaptation.Chris Hemsworth set Marvel twitter ablaze last week after posting a heartfelt message to MCU fans, which many took as a suggestion that Thor would not make it through Avengers: Doomsday. The post read: "Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honors of my life. For the last 15 years I've held Mjolnir and then Stormbreaker as the God of Thunder, but what made it truly special… was sharing it with all of you. Your passion, your cheers, and your love for this character have meant everything to me. Thank you for making my journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe unforgettable. Next up, Doomsday!"Electronic Arts is canceling its planned Black Panther game and shutting down developer Cliffhanger Games according to IGN.Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki have been cast in David Fincher's sequel to Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and will be joining Brad Pitt in the feature that is being made by Netflix.Oscar nominee and Grammy winner Ariana Grande has joined the cast of the next installment in the Meet the Parents franchise, which will hit theaters on November 25, 2026.

Cartoonist Gabriel Bá joins the show to talk about his career and the upcoming The Umbrella Academy: Plan B. Bá discusses the build up to new releases, the past few years for him, whether that stretch has changed him as a creator and storyteller, San Diego Comic Con's impact on his journey, how his career and what he wanted from it evolved, following new directions, co-writing The Umbrella Academy: Plan B, Gerard Way's artistic background, script flavors, the differing approaches he and Fabio Moon have, learning about art, his art across the years on Umbrella Academy, the joy of the series, what keeps him excited about comics, and more.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we shine light on quite an old property; that is The Shadow! From its origins in Pulp Comic Format to the Hollywood Film in 1994 staring Alec Baldwin. That Film was classified big enough to spawn a corresponding Toyline from Kenner. Trent unpacks what was great, and what was left in the dark, around this neat property. Then we switch gears, and have a FULL-ON Spoiler lead discussion around the new Marvel Film that is: Thunderbolts - or New Avengers?!? We run though how each character played their part; the tone of the film & what we all overall thought of it too. Keen to hear from your thoughts on this Film too!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textRemember that feeling of escaping into comic books and Saturday morning cartoons as a kid? Comic-Con is the adult version of that same magic — a place where imagination takes center stage and your inner child can roam free without judgment.For me, growing up in rougher neighborhoods, I found solace in X-Men comics, Ninja Turtles episodes, and movies that transported me far from reality. Discovering Comic-Con as an adult felt like finally finding a home for that same wonder and enthusiasm.With Phoenix Fan Fusion (June 6-8) bringing heavyweights like Hayden Christensen, Kevin Smith, and Elijah Wood, and San Diego Comic-Con set to take over July with its can't-miss reveals, it's not just about star sightings — it's about reconnecting with the kid inside who still believes in heroes, villains, and epic storylines.This episode, we're diving into how Comic-Con can be that bridge between the nostalgia of our childhood summers and the responsibilities of adult life — and why we need those moments of pure, unfiltered enthusiasm more than ever.Tap in, share your own Comic-Con memories, and let's keep that inner kid alive.Thank you for listening now please go back and check out some of my previous episodes.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

#Thunderbolts #MarvelStudios #Marvel #Disney #MarvelComics So post-Endgame, the concensus with folks on the MCU is that its a mixed bag. Way more often than not, the vibes from folks end up being grossly overexagerrated than need be. Thunderbolts since it was first announced at SDCC, was a big question mark for folks based on the characters that were involved especially later on when the casting for Sentry happened. The trepidation from folks was very understandable. So thankfully and shockingly, Thunderbolts ends up being a damn good movie mainly because it goes 180 from what you'd probably expect from a 3 act MCU film. By films end, you end up caring about the characters and there individual journey's. And while the movie does a good job of expanding the MCU world, it also makes sure to still keep focus on its main story with the characters. Definitely go see this movie especially in IMAX. Its worth it.

In 2019, my daughter and I attended San Diego Comic Con together. It was a week of highs and lows as she got to drive a boat for the first time, a memory she still talks about often. Cons are a great place to take your kids and create great memories. When I talk about the benefits of going to cons, I'm not just talking about comic-cons. The con in comic-con is short for convention, but there's another word that is often used for these things too. It's the word conference. I found taking my kids to those was great too. The post 641- The Pros of Cons appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.
