Spider-Man: Brand New Day Editors – Nat Sanders, ACE; Harry Yoon, ACE and Gina Sansom Spider-Man: Brand New Day editors Nat Sanders, ACE, Harry Yoon, ACE and Gina Sansom join The Rough Cut to discuss helping director Destin Daniel Cretton take Peter Parker into a deeper, more grounded chapter of his story. Nat and Gina began the film together during production, with Harry joining them for the director's cut, bringing together three editors who had each previously collaborated with Destin on projects ranging from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings to Wonder Man. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day finds Peter Parker (Tom Holland) fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that no longer remembers him. As Peter watches MJ (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon) continue their lives without him, the pressure of his isolation begins to trigger a transformation he may not be able to control. At the same time, a new threat emerges in New York, drawing Peter into a conflict that also brings him together with Frank Castle / The Punisher (Jon Bernthal), Bruce Banner / Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Jean Grey (Sadie Sink). The film also stars Tramell Tillman and Michael Mando. For Nat, Brand New Day continues a long creative relationship with Cretton that stretches back to Short Term 12 and includes The Glass Castle, Just Mercy and Shang-Chi. Harry previously worked with Cretton and Nat on Shang-Chi, while Gina came to the film following collaborations with Cretton on American Born Chinese and Wonder Man. Brand New Day also marks Gina's first feature as an editor. In our interview, Nat, Harry and Gina discuss dividing the film between three editors, working in close proximity to production at Pinewood Studios, shaping Peter Parker's darker and more emotionally complex story, and using previews to test radically different versions of the film. They also talk about finding the right balance between practical action and visual effects, managing the reveal and evolution of Jean Grey, preserving Peter's emotional point of view in his scenes with MJ and Ned, and collaborating with composer Michael Giacchino as the film developed through post. NAT SANDERS, ACE Nat Sanders, ACE is an Academy Award-nominated editor whose credits include Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk, Short Term 12, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, The Glass Castle and Just Mercy. A longtime collaborator of director Destin Daniel Cretton, Nat has worked with him from independent character dramas through large-scale studio filmmaking. Nat received an Academy Award nomination alongside Joi McMillon for editing Moonlight and has twice won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Editing. HARRY YOON, ACE Harry Yoon, ACE is an editor whose feature credits include Minari, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Thunderbolts*, The Fire Inside, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, First Man and Detroit. Harry's work spans intimate character dramas and large-scale action films, with a particular focus on maintaining performance and emotional point of view within complex visual storytelling. Spider-Man: Brand New Day reunites him with Destin Daniel Cretton and Nat Sanders following their work together on Shang-Chi. GINA SANSOM Gina Sansom is an Emmy-nominated editor whose television credits include Wonder Man, Our Flag Means Death, American Born Chinese, Reservation Dogs, Silicon Valley, Better Things, Love and Horace and Pete. She received an Emmy nomination for her work on Horace and Pete. After previously collaborating with Destin Daniel Cretton on American Born Chinese and Wonder Man, Gina makes her feature editing debut with Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Frank, Tim, and Vactor from This Comic Cooks have seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and they're bringing you their full review. ⚠️ Full spoilers start around 25:00. We get into where it lands next to No Way Home, why Destin Daniel Cretton's Shang-Chi fight choreography and the PlayStation games are all over the web-swinging, and whether the new cloth suit is the most comic-accurate Spider-Man we've had on screen. Then the gripes: organic web-shooters vs. Peter's science brain, a Jean Grey who might be a little too mean, the Yelena spa scene, and the eternal question: how does a broke kid in New York afford the rent, the flowers, and that many Little Caesars? Plus: a debate about theater-crowd etiquette ("on your left" cheerers vs. pin-drop-silence purists), the Hulk-remembers moment, and a villain wishlist that runs from Hobgoblin to the Jackal.

Han pasado cuatro años desde los acontecimientos de No Way Home, y Peter es ahora un adulto que vive completamente solo, habiéndose borrado voluntariamente de las vidas y recuerdos de aquellos a quienes ama. Lucha contra el crimen en un Nueva York que ya no conoce su nombre, se ha dedicado por completo a proteger su ciudad -un Spider-Man de tiempo completo- pero a medida que las exigencias sobre él se intensifican, la presión desata una sorprendente evolución física que amenaza su existencia, aun cuando un nuevo y extraño patrón de crímenes da lugar a una de las amenazas más poderosas que jamás haya enfrentado.La cuarta entrega en esta saga del Hombre Araña estrena director: Destin Daniel Cretton, responsable de "Shang-Chi y la Leyenda de los Diez Anillos". Una buena elección, a juzgar por el entusiasmo de la crítica y del público que ha llevado a este largometraje a batir récords de audiencia y recaudación en su fin de semana de estreno, como respuesta a la "fatiga" que provocaría en el público este tipo de películas.¿Por qué ver "Spider-Man: Un nuevo día"? Por su enfoque en un mundo más urbano y fiel al personaje de los cómics, con un Peter Parker más maduro y enfrentando su destino. Y también, como es habitual en Marvel, por un reparto sólido, con los habituales Tom Holland, Zendaya y Jacob Batalon, y la incorporación de Joe Bernthal y Sadie Sink; y la espectacularidad visual y el trabajo sonoro de una nueva película de superhéroes.Estrenos y Razones, con Joel Poblete.Encuentra más contenidos como este en Cooperativapodcast.cl 

We've tuned out of Marvel on the podcast for a little while, but one of the eternally entertaining superheroes, Spider-Man, reignites our interest with Brand New Day. With Doctor Strange having cast a spell at the end of 2021's No Way Home to make the entire world forget Peter Parker, for reasons that Doctor Strange presumably cast another spell to make us forget, Peter, newly isolated, returns to fighting street-level crime in New York City while pining for his old relationships and suffering severe headaches. Can he revive his former life? Surely it wouldn't be a Marvel film if an enormously significant, cliff-hanging event had permanent consequences. Still, even for those as cynical as it's possible to be about the MCU, Brand New Day has plenty to recommend it. It aims for thematic depth - though how fully that's achieved is up for discussion - and is genuinely moving. Indeed, certain moments move the audience to cheer and applaud, which in turn moves Mike to harrumph bitterly. Destin Daniel Cretton, directing his second MCU entry following Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, demonstrates a gift for working with actors and a strong instinct for staging action, although Cineworld does its best to undermine those virtues with its poor projection. We also return to our discussion of IMAX and The Odyssey, asking whether the frame's envelopment of the visual field impedes filmmakers' ability to express through composition and framing, and considering whether there's something fundamentally anti-democratic about making films whose fullest form can only be experienced at a handful of cinemas around the world. Recorded on 1st August 2026.

A truly stand out film in the MCU was released today! and we're here to chat about it!

Studio Marvel je Spider-Mana po desetih letih in treh filmih končno vrnil tja, kamor spada: na ulice New Yorka. V prvi trilogiji s Tomom Hollandom kot mladim, še zelenim Spider-Manom, so superjunaka pošiljali po evropskih turističnih znamenitostih in ga množili v multivesolju – niso pa nam privoščili tistih najbolj antologijskih prizorov, povezanih s tem likom. Menda je bilo »že prevečkrat videno«, kako Spider-Man slalomira nad newyorškimi ulicami in visi s stolpnic mesta, ki nikoli ne spi. No, novi režiser Destin Daniel Cretton, ki je še od filma Shang-Chi in legenda o desetih prstanih znan po svoji ljubezni do borilnih veščin in prizemljenih akcijskih prizorov, je izkoristil priložnost za nov začetek in vpeljavo malo bolj zrelega, odraslega Spider-Mana. Zmedeni najstnik iz prve trilogije je dobil dobrodošlo nadgradnjo značaja, akcijski prizori pa so najboljši, kar smo jih v tej franšizi kdaj videli. Manj je bombastičnih in predimenzioniranih pošasti, več je preproste radosti nihanja med nebotičniki. Na trenutke se Nov dan približa celostni potopitveni izkušnji, ki pričara bobneče vzdušje vrvečega velemesta. Film se oklene iztočnice spektakla Ni poti domov iz leta 2021. Doktor Strange je takrat, da bi preprečil usodno zlivanje med vzporednimi vesolji, iz spomina vsega človeštva izbrisal podatek, da je Peter Parker Spider-Man. Drugače povedano: vse karte je zdaj treba premešati na novo. Minila so štiri leta in Peter Parker se vse bolj izgublja v svoji vlogi superjunaka. Medtem, ko sistematično izkoreninja kriminal v New Yorku, se je težko izogniti občutku, da se z vso to storilnostjo samo skriva pred lastno osamljenostjo. Teta May je mrtva, edina prijatelja, ki ju je kdaj imel, MJ in Ned, pa očitno uživata v študentskih letih, ne da bi ju pri tem obremenjevali kakršni koli spomini na Parkerja. Peter, ki svoje večere preživlja v zanikrnem podstrešnem stanovanju, ju mazohistično zalezuje na družbenih omrežjih in se niti ne poskuša zbližati s kakšnim novim človekom. Stres te brezizhodne situacije v njem sproži tudi telesne spremembe. Če je prej svoje »pajkove mreže« proizvajal in sprožal sintetično, so zdaj začele same brizgati iz njegovih zapestij. Te nenadne spremembe v DNK-ju služijo kot opomin, da je Peter vendarle drugačen, mutant, in film se v tem vidiku – seveda znotraj parametrov blockbusterja – spogleduje celo z žanrom telesne grozljivke. Bi moral Spider-Man pustiti, da ga skrivnostna mutacija nadgradi v še bolj učinkovit borilni stroj, ali pa naj se upre postopnemu razčlovečenju? Medtem, ko naš junak premleva to dilemo, se nadenj spravi skrivnostna entiteta, ki očitno lahko preskakuje med telesi nič hudega slutečih gostiteljev in se jim naseli v možgane. Ustvarjalci filma so se neznansko trudili skrivati, kateri antologijski stripovski lik, ki ga igra Sadie Sink, je osrednji antagonist zgodbe – ampak vse teorije oboževalcev so se izkazale za pravilne. Spider-Manova zgodba je naposled trčila s stripovskim svetom, v katerem se gibljejo mutantski Možje X. Med svoje zaveznike Spider-Man lahko šteje Črno vdovo – njo igra Florence Pugh. Ta s svojim štorastim slovanskim naglasom poskrbi za zabaven intermezzo. Drug zaveznik je profesor Bruce Banner, ki pa se bo seveda na neki točki napihnil v neobvladljivo zeleno pošast, Hulka. Malo manj prepričljiva je njegova bromanca s Frankom Castlom alias Kaznovalcem, žilavim vojnim veteranom in silakom, ki pretirava s svojim karikiranim mačizmom. Igra ga Jon Bernthal, kar števec igralcev iz Odiseje pripelje na tri (druga dva sta seveda Tom Holland in Zendaya). Najbolj prizemljeni in človeški prizori v filmu so tisti, v katerih se Petrova pot končno križa z MJ-jino. Zendaya zbuja vtis, da je v stripovski film vkorakala iz neke druge, veliko bolj odrasle drame. Njen lik trmasto vztraja pri človeški razsežnosti zgodbe in ji s tem daje težo. (Kljub temu nam scenarij z vpeljavo nadnaravnega omogoči za Petrovo situacijo skoraj transgresiven ljubezenski prizor, ki ga sicer ne bi dobili.) Zelo očitno je, da poskuša Nov dan Spider-Mana (in morda cel svoj panteon) potisniti v bolj odraslo, čustveno zrelo fazo. Morda je to edini način, da preživijo v zabavnem ekosistemu, ki je končno prerasel zlizano formulo superjunaških spektaklov s predimenzioniranimi, računalniško animiranimi kataklizmami in serijskimi uničenji sveta. Igralci so naposled več kot samo zamenljiva telesa, na katere se da navesiti pajkice in posebne učinke. Ideja je prava, čeprav je film v tretjem dejanju še vedno prenatrpan s peripetijo in bi mu koristil veliko hitrejši razplet. Vseeno pa nam pusti kanec upanja, da decembrski Vzpon doktorja Dooma, naslednje veliko poglavje Maščevalcev, ne bo popolnoma brezdušen behemot. Recenzijo je napisala Ana Jurc, bere Lidija Hartman.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day | Neuer Schwung vor Avengers Doomsday für das MCU? Wer nach „Die Odyssee“ noch nicht genug von Tom Holland, Zendaya und Jon Bernthal hat, bekommt mit „Spider-Man: Brand New Day“ den passenden Nachschlag. Gleichzeitig lastet auf dem vierten MCU-Abenteuer mit der freundlichen Spinne aus der Nachbarschaft eine besondere Erwartung: Kann der Film Marvel wieder neuen Schwung verleihen? Die Geschichte setzt vier Jahre nach den Ereignissen von „Spider-Man: No Way Home“ an. Peter Parker lebt anonym, niemand erinnert sich an ihn oder daran, dass er Spider-Man ist. Ohne Avengers, Hightech-Ausrüstung oder sein früheres Umfeld kämpft er sich mit Geldsorgen durch den Alltag – bis eine neue Bedrohung auftaucht, die ihn vor seine bislang größte Herausforderung stellt. Niklas, Timo und Stu konnten „Spider-Man: Brand New Day“, der bereits am Mittwoch, dem 29. Juli, in die Kinos kommt, vorab sehen. Wie gelungen ist der neue MCU-Blockbuster? Schafft Regisseur Destin Daniel Cretton nach „Shang-Chi“ den erhofften Impuls für Marvel? Welche Rolle spielt Jon Bernthals Punisher – und wie gut funktioniert die kompromisslose Figur in einem FSK-12-Film?

The Avengers Doomsday trailer dropped this week and Doug has already watched it four times. The full reaction is here: what landed, what it means for the MCU, why the Russos coming back gives genuine reason for optimism, and why Thor not cracking a single joke in the entire trailer is one of the most promising signs this movie is going somewhere real. The biggest moments get the full breakdown. Captain America's return and the Mjolnir handoff. RDJ as Doctor Doom and the most logical in-universe explanation for why he looks exactly like Tony Stark. The Loki TVA card and whether the average viewer has any idea what that means. Shang-Chi showing up despite not appearing in a single piece of Marvel content since 2021. The Fantastic Four's involvement. Gambit getting a moment that made a 10-year-old lose her mind. And the theory that this film is essentially Marvel's version of Secret Wars, a way of pruning timelines, retiring legacy characters, and rebooting the X-Men in a way that actually makes sense. Speaking of the X-Men, Doug and Natalie watched all five original Fox X-Men films over the weekend specifically to prepare for Doomsday. The full post-mortem covers everything the franchise got wrong: Wolverine was never supposed to be the main character, Cyclops got done catastrophically dirty across every single film, Rogue never threw one punch in three movies, the X-Men never once fought as a team despite that being their entire thing, and Hugh Jackman looked completely fine in the year 2000 and we as a society did something terrible to that man over the next 24 years. Before all that: a Reddit question about socially acceptable life choices that are actually kind of insane when you sit with them. Spending money you don't have to impress people you don't like. Working five days a week just to get two days of freedom. Choosing your entire career path when you are 17 years old. Sports fanaticism and the double standard that exists between jersey-wearing adults and anyone who shows up to a convention. Gambling, specifically the rise of sports betting apps and why that cottage industry is genuinely sinister. Posting everything on social media compulsively. And the hokey pokey. The Urban Dictionary game returns. This round covers Gert, Yop, Opstopper, Cap-tain, Gup, and Poo Shuttling. Justin's definition of Poo Shuttling involves Colorado, underground pipe hacking, and a thriving East Coast black market. It is not correct. It is significantly better than correct. This week's recommendations: Justin: Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die (Hulu/Disney+). Sam Rockwell is extraordinary. Zazzy Beetz, Michael Pena, Juno Temple, Haley Lou Richardson. Weird, funny, and not far off from where we are headed. The third act gets away from itself slightly but the film is absolutely worth your time. Doug: The Long Walk (HBO). Stephen King adaptation. Dystopian future. 50 boys from 50 states walk until one is left alive. Dark as hell. Completely enthralling. Not a pick-me-upper. Go watch it.

Frank and Tim pour a drink and break down every reveal, theory, and Easter egg buried in the trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. Cheers! We get into: The incursion, and why this is basically the first act of the movie (heroes miscommunicate, then find a bigger threat) The X-Men leading the cold open: Xavier's school on its last legs and what that window shot means Doctor Doom in live action for the "fifth" time, and why this one finally feels like it counts The RDJ voice debate: is that Downey under the mask, and does it matter if Doom just happens to have Tony's face? Crossover money shots Marvel wants you to care about (Shang-Chi vs. Gambit) and the ones that actually land Thor vs. Doom, and the magic rune on Doom's gauntlet that might belong to Wanda The Hydra Cap theory: how is a long-haired, bearded Steve worthy of Mjolnir? Is that Loki shot really pulled from the show? And is Doom collecting kids? The Kang problem nobody at Marvel wants to say out loud Where's Spider-Man, and why he's probably being saved for Secret Wars and Battleworld Tickets already selling out and a teaser that cleared 500 million views in a week What we're drinking: Frank's on a Sam Adams Blueberry Lager (Red, White & Blueberry). Tim is drinking WhistlePig PiggyBack rye out of a porcelain Doctor Doom head he's had since childhood, whose brains have apparently been replaced by whiskey.

The first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday has finally arrived, and while it looks visually impressive, did it actually live up to the hype?In this solo Sigma Review, I share my honest reaction to Marvel Studios' biggest film since Avengers: Endgame. We break down the trailer, discuss Doctor Doom's intimidating debut, Thor's return to form, the long-awaited arrival of the X-Men, Loki, Shang-Chi, and what Marvel chose to reveal—and more importantly, what they didn't.I also dive into the state of the MCU after Endgame, why I don't believe "Marvel fatigue" is the real issue, how the abandoned Kang storyline affected the Multiverse Saga, and whether Doomsday has what it takes to restore the excitement that defined the Infinity Saga. Finally, we discuss Marvel's new Infinity Vision format, the Avengers: Endgamere-release, and why I hope Marvel resists the temptation to reveal too much before the film's release.Is Avengers: Doomsday the beginning of a new golden era for the MCU, or are we still waiting for Marvel to find its next great direction? Let's talk about it.

It's Marvel Monday and we're entering the Ten Rings! ABOUT SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS Shang-Chi, the master of weaponry-based Kung Fu, is forced to confront his past after being drawn into the Ten Rings organization. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS September 3, 2021 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS Director: Destin Daniel Cretton Writers: Dave Callaham, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Lanham Cast: Simu Liu as Shaun/Shang-Chi Awkwafina as Katy Tony Leung Chiu-wai as Xu Wenwu Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery Meng'er Zhang as Xialing Fala Chen as Li Michelle Yeoh as Ying Nan BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS A thousand years ago, a dude named Xu Wenwu discovers the mystical ten rings which grant godly powers including immortality. He gains crazy power and wealth for the next 1000 years. In 1996, Wenwu searches for Ta Lo, a village said to harbor mythical beasts. He travels through a magical forest to the village entrance but is stopped by a guardian, Ying Li. They flirt via fighting and fall in love. They end up having two kids, Shang-Chi & Xialing. In the present day, Shang-Chi works as a parking valet in the States with his best friend Katy. One day, they are attacked on a bus by men who steal a pendant that Li gave to Shang-Chi. We find out that the Ta Lo villagers rejected Wenwu so Li chose to leave with him. Wenwu abandoned his organization and locked away the ten rings. But clearly something's happened! Shang-Chi & Katy go to find Xialing, because they assume it was the Ten Rings that took his pendant and will go after the matching one Xialing has. They find Xialing at a secret fight club which she founded after escaping from Wenwu at 16. The Ten Rings attack the fight club and capture Shang-Chi, Katy, & Xialing. At the Ten Rings' compound, Wenwu uses the pendants to reveal a mystical map leading to Ta Lo. Wenwu explains that he has heard Li calling and believes she has been held captive in Ta Lo behind a sealed gate. He plans to destroy the village unless they release her. But that's not possible because she's dead. When Shang-Chi is seven years old, Li is murdered by Wenwu's enemies, the Iron Gang. Knowing his dad is crazy, they are like nah. We aren't helping you. They escape with the aid of disgraced actor Trevor Slattery and his mystical friend Morris, who guides them through the enchanted forest to Ta Lo. The group meets Li's sister Ying Nan who makes sure they are trained up. Wenwu and the Ten Rings arrive and attack. Wenwu overpowers Shang-Chi, and attacks the Gate he thinks his wife is being held behind. Turns out it's not his wife, it's the Dweller-in-Darkness. Wenwu saves Shang-Chi but is killed by the Dweller-in-Darkness. He gives the rings over to Shang-Chi before he dies. Shang-Chi and company are able to slay the Dweller-in-Darkness. Afterward, Shang-Chi and Katy return to San Francisco where no one believes their story. The sorcerer Wong shows up to get them. In a mid-credits scene, Wong introduces Shang-Chi and Katy to Bruce Banner and Carol Danvers and the group discusses the origins of the rings.

We discuss the confirmed characters for Avengers: Doomsday that we have not discussed yet this season. Is Loki going to have sage wisdom or continue being his prankster self? What in the heck has Shang-Chi been up to? Is this Gambit going to be with the other X-Men? And how stressed out is poor Sam Wilson after all this Captain America and Avengers nonsense?

Justin has one free movie pass left before the month ends and needs to use it tonight,  so Doug helps him choose between Supergirl, Disclosure Day, and Masters of the Universe. This somehow turns into a 45-minute deep dive on everything happening in Hollywood right now, and honestly, it's one of the best movie conversations they've had in a while. First: the online hate for Supergirl is examined, dissected, and found to be exactly what everyone already knows it is. Same goes for the discourse around casting in The Odyssey, the Little Mermaid live action, and Dune. The pattern is not subtle and Doug has words. Then things get genuinely interesting. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is coming and Doug is all the way in — Greek mythology, massive ensemble cast (Matt Damon, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Elliott Page), and the first narrative film ever shot entirely on IMAX cameras. The IMAX conversation goes somewhere unexpected. Spider-Man Brand New Day gets the full breakdown: the Punisher's role, what the One Last Kill special means for his arc, and why having Frank Castle in a PG-13 Spider-Man movie is either brilliant or insane depending on how you look at it. Then: Avengers Doomsday. Are Doug and Justin cautiously optimistic or quietly terrified? Both. RDJ as Doctor Doom, the Jonathan Majors pivot, what the comics actually did with colliding dimensions, and why the Magneto limited series is the template they should be following. Plus, Marvel forgot Shang-Chi exists. It has been four years. Someone needs to answer for this. Also: Jared Leto — what happened? A genuine conversation about acting as a craft, why celebrity corrupts the thing that made people good at it, and how a handcrafted maple dresser at a consignment store connects to all of it somehow. Then: Doug and Justin review Backrooms (A24). Justin gives it three stars. Doug is closer to three and a half. They agree the production design is stunning, the acting is strong, the jump scares land, and the story leaves too many character motivations unresolved. A making-of documentary is urgently needed. Also also: Million Dollar Nannies on Hulu is a show that exists. Beth found it. They did not make it past the intro. And a brief, uncomfortable look at Love Island, reality TV, and why some people unwind by watching train wrecks. Movie audio clip guessing game: Justin goes three for three on Hook, Elvis (Baz Luhrmann), and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective — including a line from Ace Ventura that lands very differently as an adult than it did at age ten. This week's recommendations: Justin — Backrooms (A24). Not perfect, but worth seeing. The environment alone justifies the ticket price. Doug — Mecha Chameleon on Steam. Six dollars. Prop hunt where you paint yourself to blend into the scenery. Alpaca wants a professional digital artist league.

In this episode of our monthly series leading up to Avengers: Doomsday, Jason and Rosie spotlight confirmed returning heroes Shang-Chi and Ant-Man, along with heavily speculated additions like Doctor Strange, Monica Rambeau (aka Photon), Ms. Marvel, and more. They explore why Shang-Chi hasn’t appeared in another film in nearly six years, what roles Doctor Strange and Monica could play in Doomsday, and how likely other unconfirmed Phase 4 and 5 characters are to show up. Next, they revisit the films and TV shows released in Phases 4 and 5, along with the behind-the-scenes developments that shaped those eras, including Disney CEO leadership changes and Marvel’s pivot away from Kang and Jonathan Majors toward Doctor Doom. To close, they dig into lingering questions from unresolved plot threads, including several post-Endgame credit scenes.

Xbox can't help itself; it finds rakes out of nowhere to step on, and its all self-inflicted. There won't be any trips in the Tardis anytime soon, and who is to blame? George Miller wants to sell Mad Max, but why? And Fox buys Roku, which feels oddly familiar.

The Multiverse Saga has been one of the most divisive eras in MCU history. But before we rush into Avengers: Doomsday, I wanted to take a step back and ask a simple question: Were we too hard on it? In this unfiltered Marvel Maniac rant, I talk about the projects I loved, the mistakes Marvel made, why the lack of an Avengers movie may have hurt the entire saga, and why I still believe there's far more to appreciate in this era than people give it credit for. From WandaVision and Loki to Shang-Chi, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Thunderbolts, Daredevil: Born Again, and beyond, this isn't a ranking or a review. It's a passionate reflection from someone who's been covering the Multiverse Saga since day one. Agree? Disagree? I'd love to hear from you. Email: MarvelManiacPod@gmail.com Avengers Disassemble.
