Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Avengers: Secret Wars doesn't seem so far away these days, especially with the surprise announcement from Deadline that A Quiet Place and Hamnet star Noah Jupe is the first to land a new, secret role in the film. We're on the precipice of Avengers: Doomsday this December and still don't know much about the plot, but that doesn't mean we're not ready to speculate! The MCU continues to pile on record-breaking stats, with the Avengers: Endgame Encore trailer garnering 77 million views within the first 24-hours of its release. This shatters any previously held record for a re-released film trailer; that number is more than four times any other amount. Spider-Man: Brand New Day took the number one spot at the box office again this weekend and has passed Avengers: Endgame to become the second highest grossing domestic film of all time. At number two, Ketchup Entertainment's theatrical rescue of Warner Bros Animation's Coyote vs. Acme hit its forecast with a very solid $15.4 million opening. 20th Century Studios' Ridley Scott dystopian future Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, and Josh Brolin movie, Dog Stars, had a low $8 million opening off a $70 million production cost. Casper Kelly's horror comedy Buddy took the number six spot at the domestic box office with $5.36 million, a solid start for a film that was released on less than 1,800 total screens.In an interview with The L.A. Times, Ridley Scott confirmed that there is a sequel to 2017's Alien: Covenant in active development. He said the film “will pick up with David (Fassbender) creating a ‘brave new world for himself." Tim Curry who rose to fame in Hollywood for his iconic roles in It, Clue, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show has passed away at the age of 80. Anne Hathaway has joined the cast of Days of Thunder 2 at Paramount alongside returning star Tom Cruise. Paramount has also announced that the film will be released June 2, 2028. HBO Max released the first full trailer for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The series will premiere over Christmas.Showrunner Tom King confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Nathan Fillion will reprise his role of Green Lantern Guy Gardner in the DCU for the upcoming animated Mister Miracle series.Netflix has released the first trailer for East of Eden, Zoe Kazan's adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel that stars Florence Pugh. The limited series is seven episodes long and will begin streaming on October 1.

Alien In Review is back to go over the last (for now) movie in the Alien saga left to cover: Ridley Scott's 2017 sequel to Prometheus, Alien: Covenant. We're focusing in on the SFX catching up to the intent of the Xenomorph and how it makes for the best version of the monster yet, how this sequel better balances the horror of Alien with the philosophy of Prometheus, if some of the decisions the characters make in the story are irrational, and analyze Michael Fassbender's captivating performance as both Walter, the new and improved Android model, and David, the complex synthetic from the first movies who's desire to create life at any costs birthed the Xenomorphs as we know them.  Alien In Review will return!

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast

Eight years after producer Robert Rodriguez had Adrien Brody went and fought the Predator -and Predator dogs, and bigger Predators, and Lawrence Fishburne- original Predator co-star Shane Black decided to take the reigns and see if he could make something a little more universally successful. The result, 2018's The Predator. Yet, once again, 20th Century Fox stepped in and decided to make life a living hell for all involved. Scenes were switched, a friend of Black's had a small scene cut due to Olivia Munn finding out the other man in the scene -who was also a friend of Black's- had a checkered past. And the ending ended up getting completely reworked. So what do Garrett, Matt, and Adam have to say? This, was the podcast Matt and Garrett had been looking forward to since they started this series due to Adam once again having reservations to watching a movie in a franchise again due to an utter hatred for the film. It happened with Alien Covenant. Yet, unlike that 2017 film, Adam hadn't finished watching The Predator until this viewing. Did he warm up to it? Well, let's just say this is one of those podcasts where Garrett and Matt just kind of stand back and let Adam go. The result, is one of the most one sided hatred ladened shows the guys have done since 2017's The Last Jedi. Listen in to see how the others feel!

“Worldbuilding is how humans make sense of the world. It's how we learn to play.” — Chris Eyerman Worldbuilding is how imagination permeates and becomes culture. It's the practice of creating meaning people can experience and belong to. In this episode of Object Subject Form, Simon speaks with Chris Eyerman, creative director, worldbuilder, and business architect shaping the future of storytelling through sport, media, and technology. As the founder of TRBLMKR Sports and creative lead for Luka Dončić's brand 77X, Chris is redefining what it means to build worlds around athletes, bridging creativity, commerce, and community. Before founding TRBLMKR, Chris helped pioneer transmedia storytelling alongside Ridley Scott at 3AM, turning films like Prometheus and Alien: Covenant into immersive digital experiences. He later led TikTok's Creative Lab, guiding the platform's creative direction during its rise to a billion users and changing how culture spreads online. Together, Simon and Chris explore how worldbuilding extends beyond film and gaming into fandom, brand ecosystems, and personal identity. They discuss the tension between creativity and business, the power of empathy in leadership, and why understanding both emotion and structure is essential to meaningful storytelling. The episode centers around the athlete-creator economy, the psychology of building trust and lore around people, and how new technologies, from AI to social platforms, are expanding the relationship between creators, culture, and ownership. This conversation is about designing culture, and how the worlds we build shape what people believe in, belong to, and build next. – Chris' Website: https://chriseyerman.com/ – Connect with Chris on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chriseyerman/ – Lore Drops Substack: https://loredrops.substack.com/ – TRBLMKR Sports: https://www.trblmkr.co/ – Connect with Simon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonclowes/ – Object Subject Form on Instagram:  https://instagram.com/objectsubjectform

Send us a textA familiar song whispers across space, a colony ship veers off plan, and an android decides he wasn't built to serve—he was built to create. Our conversation dives straight into Alien: Covenant's sharpest hooks: why the crew gambles 2,000 sleeping lives on a “better” world, how the black pathogen evolves from mystery to method, and why David's transformation is the franchise's most unsettling idea since the chestburster. We keep it human, too—ownership of a choice that can't be undone and the quiet ways nostalgia becomes a trap.We compare David and Walter as a living argument about purpose: obedience versus authorship, stability versus ambition, care versus control. From that first sterile room to the flute duet and the mirrored stare-downs, the film reframes Prometheus with dread and clarity. You'll hear how the neomorphs raise the stakes on body horror, why the lander med-bay sequence works so well, and what Covenant's rules imply about spores, plants, and engineered evolution. We also pull in deep-lore threads from the novelizations—Engineers, ancient eggs, and antediluvian hints that Earth itself weathered a cataclysm before the stars called us outward—plus the corporate gravity of Weyland-Yutani shaping colonization.If you're ranking the Alien films, this one may shift your list. It feels like a bridge and a blade: Alien's atmosphere, Aliens' urgency, Prometheus's scope, converging on the question that lingers long after the credits—what happens when a creator decides the most humane act is to perfect the organism, no matter the cost?

Part of our comprehensive coverage of the Alien franchise (by which I mean, I made Dan watch it), Alien: Covenant is notable mainly for Ridley Scott's surface-level capitulation to audience wishes (more xenomorph, less God stuff!) while still engineering a sizeable "f--- you" into the subtext.

In Episode 160 of Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies, the Horror Avengers return for their weekly installment of ALIEN: EARTH (2025) with a review of Episode 006: “The Fly.” Due to some last-minute cancellations, Jay of the Dead is joined by Mackula (and later, Dr. Walking Dead), as well as the ever-colorful Kombat Karl “The Mad Irishman” from Movie Podcast Weekly fame. Sadly, GregaMortis could not join us this week, but he will return next time. Warning: Major plot spoilers lie ahead! And yes, it wouldn't be Alien Earth without strange metaphors and offbeat alien lore. Dr. Bishop interprets the fly-and-spider imagery as a nod to the show's silicon-based “metal-eating” monstrosities, while the hosts debate the uneven maturing patterns of the synthetic children. Is Wendy / Marcy's accelerated intellect genius writing or sloppy scripting? Jurassic Park comparisons bubble up, and Jay predicts that these hybrid kids may be every bit as dangerous — maybe even more so — than the five xenomorphs themselves! Speaking of xenomorphs, your hosts address the terminology of “face-hugger” in the “Alien” franchise and dissect face-hugger gestation with how it lines up with what we've seen in the “Alien: Romulus” timeline. This leads to a discussion of “Alien: Covenant's” bio-engineered variants, host-dependent gestation windows, and whether Alien Earth is bending rules of the franchise. And before the episode ends, Jay of the Dead admits to having a Hulu error-code meltdown while Karl helpfully promotes a new DirecTV streaming bundle. And as it often does with these hopeful romantics, the conversation spirals briefly into Blu-ray hopes for Season 1 and the desperate wishes for a not-too-far-distant Season 2.

The gang is all back this week and they discuss Alien: Earth, The Naked Gun, Weapons, Gilda & Gene, a boatload of trailers, and so many tangents! This episode kicks off a little earlier than usual, so the gang's pre-show conversation about a few trailers doesn't end up on the cutting room floor. After that, they jump into the new FX series, Alien: Earth. It's set in the years between Alien: Covenant and the original Alien film. If you are a masochist and enjoy hearing Kevin talk, then this is the segment for you. That guy doesn't shut up! The fool actually watched every single Alien film (sans the AvP films) in preparation for this episode, and it shows. Thankfully, Andrew was paying attention and didn't let them leave Lauren out to dry! When Kevin finally cedes the floor, the baton is passed to Lauren, who watched the recent rekindling of The Naked Gun films, starring Liam Neeson. The story is a continuation rather than a full reboot, as Liam's character is the son of the original Frank Dreben. The film manages to keep much of the same humor that made the original films successful and is definitely worth a watch if you enjoyed those. Andrew got a chance to get to the theater this week to see Weapons, so the gang is able to dive a little deeper into the film, though they manage to stay relatively spoiler free, still. The discussion digs deeper into some of the overarching themes of the film and clarifies the title. They also vaguely discuss the villain of the film and whether or not they were even more than they seemed. Again, this one is a strong recommendation from the guys. Next up, Lauren takes the mic to discuss the off-Broadway show, Gene & Gilda. It's a fictional account of an interview with Gene Wilder where he discusses his magical and heartbreaking relationship with Gilda Radner. The two met on set and their chemistry was magical. This is a beautiful story and is running through September, so if you are in the NYC area, definitely give it a shot. Not only is it well told, but the actors are brilliantly cast! The gang finishes out the show where they began, discussing trailers and what's to come for the rest of 2025, which is a surprising amount of quality films. They definitely don't cover them all, so do a little research and let us know which one's you are excited for! As always, thank you for watching.

Is Happy Gilmore 2 just a shameless sequel or a heartfelt tribute to a comedy classic? The Thumb War crew dives into the Netflix hit with hot takes on Adam Sandler's evolution, Shooter McGavin's epic arc, and all those ridiculous celebrity cameos (looking at you, Travis Kelce). We also unpack the real story behind Ozzy Osbourne's bat-biting legacy, discuss Caddyshack vs. Gilmore, and chat about upcoming releases like Five Nights at Freddy's 2, Doomsday, and Coyote vs. Acme in Trailer Trash. Did we laugh? Did we cringe? Did we get misty-eyed at the Sandman's surprisingly tender moments? Yes, yes, and weirdly… yes. Email us: ThumbWarPod@gmail.com Join the Patreon: Hangouts are BACK!
