The year 2025 marked the sixth without a new Star Wars movie in theaters since The Rise of Skywalker concluded the Sequel Trilogy. In the past few years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC superhero films have struggled with consistency at reaching their prior levels of box-office earnings and fan satisfaction. We found it interesting, then, that two 2025 superhero movies – the MCU's rebooted The Fantastic Four: First Steps and DC's new iteration of Superman – showcased several prominent storytelling elements that we wish Lucasfilm had been able to incorporate into the Sequel Trilogy, as we talked about on the blog and podcast when the Sequel Trilogy was in development and production. On this episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester discuss how these two movies show the path that Star Wars missed in advancing new and important ideas for today's heroic tales. These two superhero movies have three big ideas in common that would have worked well for the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, too. First, neither First Steps nor Superman is an origin story. The titular characters, the Fantastic Four quartet and the Metropolis icon, are already established celebrity superheroes on their worlds when the movies begin. Rather than learn how to use their powers, they instead face the challenges of how to use their powers – and what to do when their powers can't solve the problem they're facing. Second, both movies are focused on themes of family and teamwork, rather than the lone-hero formula so familiar from Joseph Campbell's monomyth. The Fantastic Four has two siblings, a husband, and a best friend, and each of them has a character arc. James Gunn's Superman finds support from several superhero allies while Clark Kent relies on his colleagues at The Daily Planet to help carry the day, and his emotional journey in the films is inseparable from his connections to his birth parents on Krypton and the adoptive Kents on Earth. Third, both The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Superman are works of aspirational heroic fiction, fitting audience expectations for the characters as well as finding human truths in their themes and characterizations that urge the audience to want to be better people, too. In tandem with these analyses of the two superhero movies, we examine how the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy would have benefitted from similar storytelling elements. Star Wars contained plenty of examples for telling stories about Jedi apprentices who are already trained in the Force, rather than necessitating Rey's first movie to mirror Luke's in discovering her connection to the Force in the first instance. Similarly, the Sequel Trilogy mostly abandoned the Skywalker family saga and failed to form a consistent and coherent heroic trio like the Original and Prequel Trilogies did. The Sequel Trilogy also failed to successfully tell aspirational stories with its legacy characters or its new characters. Perhaps most importantly, the storytellers developing the Sequel Trilogy had access to plenty of precedent, both within Star Wars and in contemporary genre stories, to have been able to identify areas in which the Star Wars franchise could help to push forward new ideas and themes in today's storytelling, rather than simply repeating the old tropes and beats from the Lucas films.

Episode SummaryMarvel Studios dropped the latest Avengers: Doomsday teaser, and this one puts Shuri, M'Baku, Namor, and Ben Grimm (The Thing) in the same conversation fast. Frank breaks down the desert setting, the “preparing for war” energy, and why Shuri's vibe feels like a turning point for Wakanda going into the next big MCU conflict. He also digs into the fun contrast between M'Baku's kingly intro and Ben Grimm's straight-up New York response, then connects the crossover to comic history. To top it off, Frank reacts to a Russo brothers post that frames these releases as “stories” and “clues,” and shares how he's been rewatching the teasers to see what Marvel's hiding in plain sight.00:00 The Avengers: Doomsday teaser is out and who's featured00:18 Desert setting and “preparing for war” vibes00:33 Namor and Talokan in a dry environment and what that could look like00:41 Wakanda and Fantastic Four connections in Marvel Comics history00:57 Russo brothers quote: these are “stories” and “clues”01:09 Rewatching teasers for hidden details01:16 Geek Fix episode note: Marvel's leak-and-release marketing strategy01:22 Wrap-up and what Frank wants listeners to spot nextThe teaser leans more on mood than plot, with a clear “war is coming” tone.Shuri's narration and presence signal a tougher, more resolute Black Panther era.The M'Baku and Ben Grimm moment works because it's all personality and contrast.Namor's return raises practical questions about how Talokan operates outside the ocean.Marvel may be treating these teaser drops like a puzzle trail, not standard trailers.The Russo brothers framing suggests fans should watch for small details across all teasers.“Shuri definitely gives off the vibes like she's done losing.”“They are stories.

James Gunn has announced the actor playing Brainiac in Man of Tomorrow, the sequel to Superman, and the role is going to Lars Eidinger. In this quick update, we break down who Eidinger is, why his background as a major German stage actor stands out, and what that might mean for the way Brainiac is portrayed.We also talk through the classic Brainiac vibe, the “smarter than Lex” angle, and why this casting choice could lean into a colder, more philosophical version of the character.00:00 New Brainiac casting announced for Man of Tomorrow00:20 Who Lars Eidinger is and what he's known for00:37 Why a stage actor could shape Brainiac's voice and presence00:43 What you think about this castingJames Gunn revealed Lars Eidinger as the new Brainiac for Man of Tomorrow.Eidinger's résumé includes major stage work, including roles like Hamlet and Richard III.The casting could point to a Brainiac that feels calculated, philosophical, and genuinely intimidating.A strong “presence” villain is exactly what you want opposite Superman and Lex.“We have our new Brainiac. It's Lars Eidinger.”“Brainiac is usually the super smart supercomputer, right?”“I wonder if he's going to have, like, a philosopher speaking voice.”“Somebody who can seem smarter than even Lex Luthor.”“What do you guys think about Lars joining the cast for Man of Tomorrow in this version of Brainiac?”If you enjoyed the update, make sure you're subscribed to Geek Freaks Headlines so you never miss a breaking story.

Spoiler warning up top: Frank reacts to the Avengers: Doomsday teaser that's currently playing in theaters and the big headline that comes with it, Chris Evans returning as Steve Rogers. The hype is real, but the conversation gets complicated fast, especially when you zoom out and ask what this says about Marvel's confidence in the post Endgame era. Frank also unpacks the idea (and the risk) of Doomsday being framed as a direct sequel to Endgame, and what a “soft reboot” after Secret Wars could mean for the MCU's future.00:00:00 Spoiler warning and initial reaction to the Avengers: Doomsday teaser and Chris Evans returning00:00:16 The excitement vs. the bigger worry: what this says about Marvel after Endgame00:00:32 Russo Brothers calling Doomsday a direct Endgame sequel and what gets left behind00:00:46 “Soft reboot” talk after Secret Wars and how Marvel rebuilds trust going forward00:01:14 Does this undercut Sam Wilson and the newer era of the MCU?00:01:56 Listener comments requested for the next episodeChris Evans returning as Steve Rogers hits hard emotionally for a lot of fans.The bigger concern is what this signals about Marvel's confidence in newer characters and newer phases.Positioning Doomsday as a direct sequel to Endgame raises questions about how much of Phase 4 and 5 will matter.The “soft reboot after Secret Wars” idea makes comic sense, but it also feels like Marvel resetting the board to safer territory.There's a real tension between hardcore fan concerns and what mainstream audiences will likely love without overthinking it.If Steve comes back, it opens a big conversation about legacy, leadership, and whether Sam Wilson gets pushed aside.“Hell yeah, Chris Evans is back as Steve Rogers.”“This means that basically Marvel doesn't trust anything they put out after Endgame.”“It's not like Steve Rogers doesn't always come back in the comic books.”If you've got thoughts on Chris Evans returning, the Doomsday teaser, and whether this helps or hurts the MCU long-term, send them in.

He'll Save Every One Of Us....Yes it's the story of Flash Gordon (Sam Jones), the fictitious quarterback of the New York Jets who inadverdently travels into deep space with intrepid travel agent Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) and crazy-but-misunderstood scientest Dr. Hans Zarkov).  They land on the mysterious planet of Mongo which is ruled by the vicious Emperor Ming (Max von Sydow) who intends to destroy Earth. :o And together, they embark on a crazy sci-fi adventure to try to save their home planet while also encountering various local leaders who may OR may not be able to help them including Prince Barin (Timothy Dalton), Princess Aura (Ornella Muti), and the boisterous Prince Vultan (Brian Blessed).  Forty-five years ago, this comic book adaptation was released into theaters with much fanfare by famous producer Dino DeLaurentis (Serpico, Blue Velvet, Conan the Barbarian, Hannibal) who was hoping that this big budget enterprise would duplicate the success of Star Wars which had come out just three years prior.  Disappointingly, the film received weak box office and weak reviews upon initial release but eventually would grow to be a beloved cult classic on cable and video.....with much of its success due to a slam-bang soundtrack by the band Queen!  And now its legacy lives on very much due to some VERY catchy music featured throughout including the now iconic main theme song perfomed by the band.  Directed by the late, great Mike Hodges (Get Carter, Croupier), it's time to head back to Ming City on our rocket cycle and.......DIIIIIIVE!!!!!Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

The SuperHero Homies are back — and this week, we're doing what Hollywood couldn't: fixing bad superhero movies! From Superman Returns to X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3, we take on some of the most disappointing comic book films ever made and reimagine them with just a few smart changes. But first, we kick things off with a 30-minute cold open packed with gaming and pop culture talk! We discuss which games might win Video Game of the Year (with Expedition 33 as a top contender), why live service games usually fail, and whether politics belong in art and entertainment. We dive deep into how storytelling, messaging, and creative freedom shape the worlds we love — from comics to cinema. Then it's time to fix some bad superhero movies — with three simple rules: 1️⃣ The movie must stay in its cinematic universe timeline (no reshuffling releases). 2️⃣ You can't remove actors, directors, or characters — but you can add new ones. 3️⃣ The core premise must stay the same — no total reboots. With those limits in place, we prove that even within Hollywood's restrictions, these movies could've been way better. We share how we'd improve character arcs, pacing, tone, and storytelling in Superman Returns, X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga, Spider-Man 3, and more!

Send us a textThe final part of our podcast season of, 'Dodgy 90s Superhero Movies' is here, and this week, we take a look back at the most dodgy and the most 90s of the bunch, 1997's, Spawn. A movie that many (including us) have (had?) very fond memories of. Does it hold up though? Just how bad does the CG look in 2025? More importantly, can a movie have both pretty good visual effects and, well, perhaps the worst example of VFX in mainstream movie history? Oh, the answer is yes by the way. Still, with a genuinely compelling performance from John Leguizamo and a villainess turn from Martin Sheen, it has to be worth a watch, right?.....Right?Listen in via the link in the bio.

A new Superman is flying into theaters—and one of us is flying off into the sunset. In this bittersweet episode, we react to James Gunn's Superman (2025). Did we like the suit? How was the casting? Are we vibing with the new tone? And can this reboot can actually save the DC Universe? We talk about what excites us, what worries us, and what this new era of DC films could mean for superhero movies. And… it's Nicole's final episode as a regular host. We celebrate her time on the podcast with laughs, nostalgia, and a few jabs (because, let's be honest, she wouldn't want it any other way). We discuss:
