Tommy Shepherd actor Ruaridh Mollica might have given away a major VisionQuest spoiler, meaning there's a new Marvel spoiler king on the block.

The actor made his MCU debut in the Disney Plus show as Tommy, son of Vision and Wanda and brother to Joe Locke's Billy Kaplan.

When asked by ET about working with Locke in a play before the MCU, Mollica shared: "We actually shot our MCU stuff before we did the play, which was amazing. And so we met for a coffee beforehand to get to know each other. We were just so excited, so excited, we became such good friends instantly.

"And then we did a play on the West End together, and had this big secret that slowly started to leak as we were doing it," he continued. "And it was fun, you know, people would be doing secret MCU fan art at stage door. It was amazing, it was my first time connecting with fans, and people were excited about it, and I was like, 'Oh my god, but how does anyone know?'"

Now, while that sounds like they might have shot a scene together before working together in the play, that's not necessarily the case – Mollica might just mean before they shot their separate MCU appearances before working together. Still, fans are suspecting him of sharing a major spoiler that Locke will cameo in VisionQuest.

"How Ruaridh's VisionQuest press run is going," said one fan, with a video of Tom Holland 'leaking' an Avengers poster. "He's literally spoiling everything omg," said someone else.

"Help it was still supposed to be a secret," said another fan. "Oh Kevin Feige is gonna get him," joked someone else. "Ruaridh I don't think you're supposed to say that," said another person.

VisionQuest continues weekly, so we don't have too long to wait to find out if Locke's Billy will also be making an appearance. You can keep up to date with our VisionQuest release schedule.

The show is streaming on Disney Plus now. For more, see our spoiler-free VisionQuest review.

Remember picking apart WandaVision episode by episode? The aerospace engineer, a 'villain' hiding in the main credits, and the mystery of who was behind Westview kept us entranced across multiple weeks.

Now, VisionQuest has picked up the baton and ran with it – thanks to this compelling theory that says Joe Locke's Billy is following his brother Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica) around in the second episode of the Disney Plus series.

As spotlighted on Twitter, the London-set scenes – hello, Borough Market! – that feature Tommy engaging in a spot of light scam work and pickpocketing features a suspicious figure in a coat and flat cap not once, but twice. See for yourself below.

Convinced? It certainly looks like Joe Locke. Then there's the small matter of Ruaridh Mollica seemingly already confirming he's filmed Marvel scenes with Joe Locke, who we last saw alongside a ghostly Agatha in Agatha All Along.

"We shot our MCU stuff before we did the play [together]," Mollica told Entertainment Tonight, referring to the pair's West End performance in Clarkston.

If a family reunion is on the horizon, the starting point could be here – but should Marvel have known better than to put Joe Locke in the background, knowing fans would pore over every frame?

VisionQuest has already made one Wanda hint, too. Even if Scarlet Witch doesn't return, she continues to haunt the narrative. Maybe Vision reuniting with his boys can be the final step before bringing Wanda back for good? Here's hoping.

VisionQuest star Ruaridh Mollica posted (and quickly deleted) a photo of his Tommy Maximoff Funko Pop... which reveals his live-action Speed costume.

Mollica initially included the photo as part of an Instagram photo dump, writing, "Swipe to the end for a SNEAK PEEK of my Tommy Maximoff Funko Pop (probably not allowed)." The figurine depicts Tommy in his comic book-accurate green Speed goggles and green jacket, a look we have not yet seen in the newly released VisionQuest TV show. We're not sure how long the photo was up for, but the post itself was made five days ago... and it seems like fans only noticed the Funko Pop itself a few days after the fact.

Marvel tends to be a bit militant about their spoilers and reveals, with VisionQuest star Emily Hampshire previously likening it to being in the Witness Protection program. Funko is also sort of well-known for contributing to accidental reveals, with the most recent one being a Macaulay Culkin Funko Pop that revealed prematurely that his Fallout character would go on to become the Legion leader known as Caesar.

Mollica's Tommy Maximoff was introduced in VisionQuest episode 1, throwing quite the curveball at an already struggling White Vision who doesn't understand his memories or false past life with Wanda Maximoff. The show sees three generations of men struggle to find their identities, and yes, that includes Ultron... who is technically Vision's dad and Tommy's grandpa (or 'peepaw,' as James Spader so beautifully ad-libbed).

VisionQuest is out now, with the first two episodes in tow. Check out our VisionQuest release schedule to make sure you don't miss a moment.

VisionQuest brings back one of Marvel's most underrated villains as James Spader's Ultron takes center stage opposite Paul Bettany's Vision. The new series sees the Avengers: Age of Ultron antagonist inhabit his human avatar, trapped in Vision's Mind Space along with several other Stark Corporation AIs.

As Vision tries to reconcile his memories with feelings he's not sure he has, Ultron is there to goad and challenge him along the way. And over the course of the season, the series dives deeper into who Ultron really is, his opinions on humanity, and his own struggles with navigating emotions. It's a process that Spader says constantly surprised him.

"Any of the things that I might have thought about him when I did the film just were so much more of in the show, in VisionQuest," he tells GamesRadar+. "I was constantly surprised, even though Terry and I had discussed the whole show, from beginning to end, sort of beats, and certainly in episodes. And then having received the scripts and seeing what developed in the script form, I still wasn't prepared for the perfect thing that you're always aspiring to as an actor, always, is that it has a life when you start to perform it that you never really imagined.

"You could never really have predicted that. Even if you might have predicted intent or reaction or action, even if you might have been able to predict or speculate on that, the depth and breadth of it can often surprise you, and it did again and again and again on the show."

Ultron has already been an early stand-out of the series, with viewers saying he's the "highlight". New episodes are airing weekly on Disney Plus in two-episode blocks. For more, check out our VisionQuest release schedule as well as our verdict on the show in our VisionQuest review.

Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum has opened up about Wonder Man's cancelation, calling the situation "complicated". Speaking in a new interview, he said that he still hopes something could happen in the future with the show.

"I fought for it, I don't know what to say. It's complicated," he replied when asked about it on The Brandon Davis Show. "Sometimes you feel like you're invincible and can make whatever you want, sometimes, you don't have leverage, it's subject to market forces that I like barely understand."

However, Winderbaum went on to add: "But creatively it's one of the best teams I've ever worked with, I love that cast, I love Destin [Daniel Cretton], I love Andrew [Guest], I fought for the show, we all did. Everyone at Marvel wanted to see it happen. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I still have hope that by some miracle, there's a way to do something down the road."

Presenter Davis suggested it could follow in the footsteps of Daredevil and come back for another season. Winderbaum admitted he's not sure fan campaigns can be as successful these days, but he said he hopes more people watch Wonder Man. "I love that show and really want as many people to watch it as possible."

Wonder Man starred Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, a struggling actor who secretly possesses superhuman powers. Ben Kingsley returned as Trevor Slattery in the series as well, which was a big hit with viewers and critics alike. It was renewed for season two in March before being canceled in July.

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 will be the final season of the Marvel TV show, and according to Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum that was always the plan. However, in a new interview, he did also make some interesting comments about TV show cancelations, making reference to Daredevil: Born Again.

Speaking about Wonder Man's axing earlier this year, presenter Brandon Davis suggested that the series could make a return down the line, akin to Daredevil's resurgence. However, Winderbaum had a pretty interesting response to that one.

"I felt like I was part of '#SaveDaredevil,'" he replied on The Brandon Davis Show. "You know it's interesting the internet, it's not what it used to be even a few years ago when you could stage a campaign and get something made like that. 'Save Daredevil' is great but we also need 'hashtag Watch Daredevil'. The biggest leverage I have, and I say this all the time, is the actual viewership numbers. That's what people are looking for, that's where I get my power to be able to make something or not. I just want people to watch the show."

This is in slight contradiction to the Marvel TV boss' comments on the ending of Daredevil: Born Again, which he told Davis was always planned as three seasons. "The plan was always to make a third season, to culminate it at three," he explained. "The way we were looking at it, the original series is three seasons, Born Again three seasons. They're kind of like trade paperbacks, collections you can slot into your shelves."

He also implied that this may not be the end of the line as they're going to "take a breath and see what's next for the character".

His comments come after Charlie Cox told us that he had a "good sense" that the show was going to be canceled again.

The second episode of VisionQuest introduces viewers to a Vision unlike one we've seen before in the MCU. Gone is the measured, logical synthezoid we know so well, as White Vision meets the Paladin in the Edinburgh pub where he'd been working undercover.

Trying to manipulate him to turn himself in to save his supposed son, Tommy Shepherd, Vision warns him that he is not the Avenger he assumes he is. "I'm not The Vision," he ominously tells him in a rare show of power and violence.

After more than 10 years of playing the character, Vision star Paul Bettany says this fresh take was a lot of "fun" to get stuck into. "When we find Vision, he has had his memories restored, but he seems unable or perhaps unwilling to attach any feelings to them, and I think that's a really human thing to do," Bettany tells GamesRadar+.

"It was fun to think of him getting frustrated because I don't think we've ever seen that. I think we've seen Vision be quite measured and contained, and to see him get angry in yes, ruthless ways, but also later on in sort of funny, frustrated ways with potentially his son in a situation that we will all recognize, like a father teaching their son to drive or whatever, just being really frustrated with them. It was really fun to play or have all of these new experiences for Vision and different facets of him."

The scene in the pub in episode two is a moment that stood out to showrunner Terry Matalas, who says he thought it would be "really surprising" to show this new side of Vision to audiences.

"That moment when he says, 'Let's try something new' in that dark way, I really got excited," he adds. "As an audience member, I think I would be thrilled to see him be a bit more ruthless."

VisionQuest continues weekly on Disney Plus, and based on the final moments of episode 2, we're in for some fun shenanigans with Vision, Ultron and Tommy in the coming episodes.

Check out our VisionQuest release schedule to make sure you don't miss a moment, as well as our VisionQuest review for our verdict.

VisionQuest star Paul Bettany says he once left the entire script for Avengers: Infinity War on a plane, which is an offense punishable by Marvel jail.

"I've never told anybody this, but I once left the entire script for Avengers: Infinity War on a plane," Bettany admitted to Virgin Radio UK. "And I got in my car and I went, 'Oh no... oh no!' I was lucky to have had a greeter that was a genius, and I got the greeter to go in and get it, and I tipped that greeter like 500 bucks."

Bettany's co-star Emily Hampshire, who plays E.D.I.T.H. on the new Disney Plus show, joked that she didn't know she was entering "witness protection" when entering the MCU. Hampshire says it's common to throw out your script pages or sides after you've finished filming that scene, but Marvel will apparently send someone to your house to collect those pages. I'd argue that it's one thing to toss the sides for a Disney Plus TV show, and another to leave the entire script for an Avengers movie on a plane where someone could easily grab it... Bettany is lucky he had a good greeter.

Marvel takes its leaks and spoilers pretty seriously, which is why Tom 'Loose Lips' Holland went on a full vacation with Joe Russo and wasn't told anything about Avengers: Secret Wars during the trip.

VisionQuest is out now, with the first two episodes in tow. Check out our VisionQuest release schedule to make sure you don't miss a moment.

Another New York Comic Con is in the books – specifically, the 20th anniversary of the annual pop culture convention – and it was a packed weekend of fan culture, jaw-dropping cosplay, and of course, big announcements from the worlds of movies, TV, comics, video games, and more.

In fact, there are so many things going on at the same time that even if you were at the convention, you likely missed out on a good chunk of it… While official attendance numbers haven't been revealed for this year's convention as of this writing, past years stretched to 250,000 attendees, dwarfing even the legendary San Diego Comic-Con. And thanks to a new reservation system introduced this year, if you didn't put in your request for some of the bigger panels ASAP, well, you're more out of luck than Dungeon Crawler Carl when Princess Donut goes rogue.

Most of you, though, likely weren't in New York, or perhaps (spitballing here) had "other things to do with your lives." So in the interest of getting you caught up quickly, here are the biggest announcements from New York Comic Con 2026, including two intriguing announcements from Marvel TV, an extension of the world of Avatar, and more.

Marvel's Zodiac

No, we won't finally be learning what Captain America's horoscope is ("Signs all point to you being able to do this all day"), but instead the 2028-debuting Zodiac is a live-action international spy thriller set inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe… And notably, debuting some time after the currently scheduled release date of Avengers: Secret Wars, meaning it takes place in whatever the post-Battleworld MCU looks like.

As for who is in the show, who is writing the show, or any other details? Well, we don't know for sure, but an eye-opening logo provided included at least two clues. The first? The "A" in the logo is styled like the logo for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and given Marvel TV chief Brad Winderbaum recently binged the series, and Phil Coulson himself, Clark Gregg, reposted the announcement, it seems plausible that some AoS characters may return. And the "O" in the logo is a reference to "The Great Wheel," a conglomeration of spy organizations from Marvel's Secret Warriors comic. Speculate away, Marvel spies.

Marvel Zombies specials

While the Zodiac announcement had been in the Hollywood trades well before the panel, the big surprise was not one, not two, but three different Marvel Zombies specials, each arriving on subsequent Halloweens (or thereabouts). The first in 2027 is Marvel Zombies: The Winter Soldier. The second in 2028 is Marvel Zombies: The Fist of Khonshu. And the third in the impossible-to-imagine future of 2029 is Marvel Zombies: The Last Guardian.

While no further details were shared other than it'll be a return to the gory, envelope-pushing world of the previous animated series (will it take place after the events of the original, or before that Twilight Zone-esque rug-pull Marvel Zombies ending?), we can certainly intuit a few things from the titles. The first special almost definitely focuses on Bucky Barnes, the second on Moon Knight (or more likely the Blade Knight introduced in the 2023 series), and the third on the last member of the Guardians of the Galaxy standing. Who that is, Winderbaum wouldn't say on stage. But our money is on Groot, only because that's the funniest/saddest option.

Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos

Fans of Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra are absolutely eating now, thanks to the recently released Avatar Aang movie and now the Seven Havens sequel series currently streaming on Paramount Plus. And that doesn't seem like it'll be stopping any time soon, thanks to the announcement that Seven Havens, already planned for two seasons (or "Books") has been extended to four seasons.

But the bigger surprise? Another Avatar spinoff is in the works, focusing on Avatar Kuruk, who was briefly introduced in the original animated series. Here, Kuruk is a 14-year-old wild child who decides to learn bending on his own, journeying around the world in what's described as a more comedic take on the franchise. It's voice-directed by Janet Varney (aka the voice of Korra), and created by Bryan Konietzko (aka, the co-creator of Avatar), and other than that we don't know much… Other than yip yip, let's go, the more Avatar the better!

The Exorcist: Martyrs trailer

After a wobbly few years, Blumhouse went hard at its annual New York Comic Con panel, laying out nine movies coming up in 2027, announcing the director for the live-action adaptation of the hit comic book Something is Killing the Children (that would be Craig Zobel), and even a partnership with YouTube legend MatPat, which is not just a theory.

But all of that was overshadowed by Mike Flanagan's upcoming The Exorcist: Martyrs trailer. The horror legend has had a busy few months with the recent release of Carrie on Prime Video, and the upcoming release of DC's Clayface (which he wrote). But the first look at the Exorcist sequel/reinvention is the thing that left jaws on the floor. Starring Scarlett Johansson, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and more, the spine-tingling trailer builds the horror, ends with a killer last line, and is making the wait until the movie releases on March 12 so unbearable we might just vomit up pea soup.

Absolute Justice

Hey, remember how New York Comic Con is ostensibly supposed to be about comics? There were, indeed, plenty of announcements and reveals from publishers, including a line of Blumhouse comics from IDW's Dark imprint, Marvel teasing more about their Star Wars crossover that is somehow in continuity, and more. But by far the biggest bomb was dropped by DC Comics, which is basically doing a victory lap at this point thanks to surging sales and critical acclaim: Absolute Justice.

The highly anticipated five-issue series will debut in April of 2027, and will be written by Jason Aaron with art by Juan Ferrayra, the current team on the best-selling Absolute Superman. For the first time, the title will bring together DC's reimagined characters, including the game-changing Absolute Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Flash, and Green Lantern to fight back against an array of villains, including a body horror Brainiac. How will these thus far disparate titles weave together? We'll just have to wait until April to find out.

In addition, at the annual Jim Lee and Friends panel, the DC chief brought on Warner Bros. Animation execs and the Absolute Batman team of Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta to present a very early look at the upcoming animated version of the comic book series. While strictly telling everyone in the room not to film or take pictures, they did show off the development art Dragotta has been working on for the adaptation… And an animation test, taking a sequence from an early issue of the comic with Batman fighting the Black Mask's gang and translating it to a mix of 2D and 3D animation. In two words, even at this early stage, having been in the room where it happened? Absolutely stunning.

"Our goal is to make TV shows that have an annual cadence, that feel like longer-form character studies, like truly great television shows," Brad Winderbaum, the head of Marvel Television, told me on the eve of Daredevil: Born Again season 2's release. I thought he was referring to The Man Without Fear's show – the third season was filming at the time – but I was very, very wrong.

At Marvel's New York Comic Con panel, Daredevil himself, Charlie Cox, backed by Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) and a returning Finn Jones (Iron Fist), confirmed that the next season will be the show's last. The audience was not happy. Asked what we can expect from the final episodes, Cox emphatically said: "All I can say is, the #SaveDaredevil campaign will be gearing up for Round Two." A round of cheers followed, but probably too little, too late.

Cox later told GamesRadar+ that the cancellation was not a huge surprise and the cast had a "good sense" the news was coming. However, reports previously revealed that showrunner Dario Scardapane exited the series during post-production, and internet rumours have also claimed the series' ending has been reshot to be more definitive. Surely, the show was meant to go on? I mean, why reintroduce all The Defenders not to use them?

VisionQuest also made up a significant part of the NYCC panel, with the cast stressing that this is the final part of the WandaVision trilogy. Yet, rather than just being a closing chapter to one of Marvel's most successful small-screen ventures, VisionQuest feels like the end of an entire era. Marvel has spent five years pumping out live-action limited series that tied into the big-screen productions, and now, there are no more coming. Marvel's Disney Plus experiment, it seems, has run its course.

"With the Captain America series, with Hawkeye, it really felt like the movies were in your home, and it was a great way to launch Marvel on [Disney Plus]," Winderbaum told me. "We learned, as time went on, the shared universe started to feel like an obligation to people, and that cost us a sense of discovery, especially on the television side.

"It doesn't matter if you can jump in and watch Moon Knight without knowing anything else. There was a sense, because of the preceding decade of the shared universe and the films, that you had to watch everything. It was, frankly, a bit of a misconception, but an understandable one based on the way we were releasing material."

That Daredevil, VisionQuest, and, lest we forget, the cancelled Wonder Man, were conceived before Marvel Television's rebranding in 2024 is telling. The studio's production philosophy has seemingly changed, and with little else on the horizon, Winderbaum appears to be taking the opportunity to clear the decks and start over.

Brave new world

So, what does the future of Marvel Television look like? At the NYCC panel, Winderbaum revealed the answer: Zodiac. Previously alluded to in Wonder Man's cancellation announcement, the new series was confirmed at NYCC, turning many fans' heads.

In the comics, Zodiac is a villainous crime syndicate whose members use Zodiac signs as names. "It's a globetrotting, international espionage show about secrets and lies and betrayals and secret acts of loyalty and an insane cast of characters," Winderbaum told Collider when teasing the series, refusing to elaborate as he wants everyone to watch unspoiled. It's wild that Marvel's only confirmed live-action Disney Plus show after Daredevil is one that centers on characters who wouldn't make the B-list. Only four years ago, the studio released Moon Knight, Ms Marvel, and She-Hulk in a single year.

Considering everything Winderbaum has said about his approach to TV, the pivot toward essentially unknown characters makes sense. He wants ongoing, yearly character studies that don't feel like homework for the wider MCU. What better way to do that than tell an entirely separate story about characters who won't be going anywhere near Spider-Man? The series can go deep without any baggage, and the movies can once again be completely separate beasts from the TV shows, with no need to watch anything prior.

Intriguingly, Zodiac's logo seems to reference S.H.I.E.L.D., the counterterrorism organisation that helped kickstart The Avengers Initiative and had its own show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which ran for seven seasons. The series was not a colossal ratings hit, but had an enduring fanbase, and frankly, sounds exactly like the sort of TV show Winderbaum wants to make. In other words, Marvel Television's future may look surprisingly like its past. (Though, unlike some speculators, I suspect Zodiac will have zero real ties to the Agents series, to avoid the former series being "homework" for this one.)

Of course, this says nothing of Marvel's animation output. Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man season 2, X-Men '97 season 3, and the next three years of Marvel Zombies were all teased during the NYCC panel. Animation is much lower stakes than the live-action series – they have no bearing on the wider MCU – and all three shows have been warmly received by fans. There's no need for a cull. And the budgets are much, much smaller than live-action, which probably helps (though this is House of Mouse money we're talking).

It certainly seems, then, that the NYCC panel was a surprising eulogy for the way Marvel used to work and a brief, telling tease for the future. Zodiac marks a new dawn for live-action Marvel Television. And excitingly, we have very little idea what to expect.

VisionQuest is currently streaming on Disney Plus. Daredevil: Born Again season 3 is expected to release March 2027. For more, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows, and our list of all the most exciting new TV shows heading your way.

VisionQuest introduces the human avatars of several of Tony Stark's A.I.s who occupy Vision's interior world with him. Among them is E.D.I.T.H., or Even Dead I'm The Hero, who was first introduced in Spider-Man: Far From Home through a pair of Stark-created glasses.

VisionQuest builds out her story a lot more as she's played in human form by Schitt's Creek star Emily Hampshire as a chaotic, fun, weapons expert. Speaking to GamesRadar+, Hampshire says she really wanted to acknowledge her character's history in the MCU when bringing her to life.

"I watched all the movies from the beginning, and Spider-Man: Far From Home, that's her birth story," she explains. "So I definitely, to find the E.D.I.T.H. we meet in VisionQuest, I started with the E.D.I.T.H. who is in Spider-Man: Far From Home."

Hampshire continues: "Tony's legacy is in there, and he named her E.D.I.T.H. for Even Dead, I'm The Hero, so that really informed that there's something in her that wants to be the hero, but also has that sense of play that Tony has, and yet her idea of fun is blowing things up, and so that is what has created who we meet in VisionQuest."

In Far From Home, the character is voiced by Dawn Michelle King, but this is the first time we see her in human form. Translating that character in this way was an interesting challenge for the actor, who explains she thought a lot about how she would have grown in the period between MCU projects.

"Her boss was a teenager, and she was controlling weapons and blowing things up, and so I'm like, 'Well, what would she want when she is let out of these glasses?'" Hampshire says. "And from where she's coming from, to me, she wants to experience life and have fun, and her idea of fun is blowing things up."

She adds: "To me, E.D.I.T.H. in Spider-Man is E.D.I.T.H. at work in her corporate job that she can't have any fun in, and E.D.I.T.H. in VisionQuest, it is the weekend."

Have a read of our VisionQuest review for our full verdict, as well as keeping an eye on our VisionQuest release schedule as new episodes drop weekly on Disney Plus.

VisionQuest may be the conclusion to the WandaVision trilogy, but this is not Wanda Maximoff's story. Instead, it's Vision, specifically White Vision, who takes the limelight, and according to showrunner Terry Matalas, it was always planned that way.

"She died in that big movie," he tells GamesRadar+ when asked how Wanda's absence impacted the story, referencing her death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. "It's Vision's moment now. WandaVision gave almost just a blank canvas with that White Vision into asking himself, 'Who am I without her? Who am I with these memories?' And so, it was just a perfect launching point for something new."

However, despite her physical absence, Wanda does remain a huge part of VisionQuest's story. The first few episodes, now out on Disney Plus, feature Vision constantly revisiting WandaVision and memories of her. There is even an Easter egg which shows that Wanda is literally part of Vision's code.

Bettany says it was strange at first to not be acting with Elizabeth Olsen, as she's been part of Vision's entire story up until now. "Yes, but then largely it is you know about the absence of her and his inability to connect to that loss," he explains. "So I feel like she is a ghost, you know, that he is chasing, haunted by."

This only deepens for Vision as he meets Tommy Shepherd in episode 2, who has memories of Wanda and Vision as his mother and father. Meanwhile, the father and son dynamics don't stop there with Vision's own creator Ultron constantly reminding him of his origins too. Read our VisionQuest review for our verdict on the latest MCU show.

The eight-part series is airing weekly on Disney Plus, but it has quite an unusual release strategy. Check out our VisionQuest release schedule to make sure you don't miss a moment.

VisionQuest has finally landed on Disney Plus, and the first two episodes bring back James Spader's fearsome Ultron – only now, he has a human guise, and he lives inside of Vision's head (along with the rest of the MCU AIs).

Despite his new roommates, though, Ultron is still his villainous self, and MCU fans are loving seeing him again. The following contains spoilers for episode 1 and 2.

In the second episode of the series, Paladin the bounty hunter takes Vision's son, Tommy Shepherd, hostage. Ultron returns to the Ship of Theseus paradox from WandaVision to urge Vision to take action and save his son.

"Did we just catch Ultron giving genuinely solid advice?!" says one fan on Reddit. "This show has been great so far but Ultron I think is the highlight. Really interesting to see how he has actually tried to learn from humanity during his imprisonment and I love all of his interactions with Vision, absolutely fantastic dialogue. I feel like it's practically a given that there's going to be a betrayal from Ultron down the road and I'm surprised by how much I actually wish it wouldn't come, by how much I hope Ultron could just be this mentor figure he's presenting himself as. In any case I hope he persists past this show, I think he's just too great of a villain to permanently cast aside."

"I could watch just eight straight hours of Vision and Ultron talking and I would love this show. We're going to get so many great quotes from this series, I can tell," agrees another fan.

"That Ship of Theseus revisit was perfect. Expanding on it to include the context and theme was so good," says another person. "Ultron is biding his time, I'm thinking his gambit is to eventually take over the body. He's certainly been studying humanity but I doubt that's a good thing."

"Really reminded me Ultron IS supposed to be a good guy. His actions are evil and the end result of him is being a big bad, but it all stems from the same 'save the Earth' mentality. Spader killing it as usual helps with the delivery too," says someone else.

"Spader is soooo good! love all the back and forth between him and Bettany!" is another fan's thoughts.

Last we checked, Wanda was definitely dead in the MCU. Having an entire mountain dropped on you – as shown in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – will do that to a person.

Since then, we've had allusions to her fate in Agatha All Along (yep, still dead) and, now, a touching tribute to Scarlet Witch courtesy of Vision in VisionQuest. But there's almost no chance you spotted it first time around.

As unveiled by an eagle-eyed user on Twitter, the moment in the VisionQuest premiere where Vision's code flashes on screen contains a reference to Wanda.

While it's hard to make everything out amid the jumbled letters and numbers, it appears to say WANDA.CREATE. A possible hint that Vision could create another Wanda much like how she created Vision and an entire family for herself in her grief-stricken moments following her synthezoid beau's death at Thanos's hands? Maybe.

What is clear, though, is just how much Vision still thinks of Wanda – right down to his very code. If trips to his Mindplace cinema for WandaVision clip shows didn't already make it obvious, this is clearly a man – or machine – still in mourning.

In fact, Vision's 'memories' of his time in Westview are bleeding all over the show. His alias in Edinburgh at one point is shown as 'Sherwood Ellis'. That's not just another name. It is, in fact, a combination of the street Wanda and Vision lived in (Sherwood Drive, New Jersey) and the last street bordering Wanda's hex in Westview (Ells Avenue). That's just one of several VisionQuest Easter eggs we've seen so far.

Credit to showrunner Terry Matalas and company – they really thought of everything to make sure Vision's grief persevered into VisionQuest in a meaningful, yet obscured way. Even the diehards probably missed those ones.

The first two episodes of VisionQuest are now streaming on Disney Plus. We have a VisionQuest release schedule for those looking to keep on top of the show's erratic rollout plans in the coming weeks.

Charlie Cox knew Daredevil: Born Again was going to be canceled ahead of time.

"[There was] a little bit more planning and emotional support. We knew about it [this time]," Cox tells GamesRadar+ at New York Comic Con. "We had a good sense [it was going to be canceled]."

Even so, the news blindsided fans: last month, reports dropped that revealed Daredevil: Born Again would be canceled after its third season. There has been further speculation that the finale has been tweaked to be more definitive and less open-ended.

So, Daredevil has been hit with the three-season curse once more, having also been canceled on Netflix after three seasons.

This time, however, we at least get a mini-Defenders reunion to make up for it, with Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones, Mike Colter's Luke Cage, and Finn Jones' Danny Rand all making a return to the street-level scene.

"I've never been a part of a cast where the chemistry is just so innate, not only with the actors but also the way the characters interact with each other. It's special. The Defenders are special," Jones explained to GamesRadar+ at NYCC.

"The more they can flesh that out, the more the fans are gonna be happy because the fans really want it. Especially between me and Mike and Heroes for Hire. Something like that, I know people are desperate for. We'll get a glimpse of that maybe in season 3."

Whatever comes next, Cox isn't ruling out a Daredevil appearance in future MCU movies – even as Born Again comes to a close.

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 will premiere on Disney Plus in March 2027.

In the meantime, discover the other upcoming Marvel movies and shows currently in the works.

VisionQuest executive producer Mary Livanos says we can expect a real brotherly connection when Wiccan and Speed eventually team up in the MCU.

"I dreamt of bringing Speed and Wiccan to the Marvel Universe, which was an idea that we flirted with during WandaVision," Livanos tells GamesRadar+ during an exclusive interview at NYCC. "But now it's exciting to see Tommy Maximoff come to the screen. And Joe Locke and Ruaridh have become quite chummy. And so if, and when, they share the screen... I think people will feel the brotherly love."

Billy Maximoff, aka Wiccan, made his first real (as in not just as a magical manifestation of grief) appearance in Agatha: All Along. Though the show really made us work for that reveal: Joe Locke's character was simply named "Teen" and was referred to as such until Agatha comments that he's "so much like his mother" in episode 6. Billy retaliates by knocking her back with some pretty powerful magic, all while a blue crown-mask (that's pretty similar to Wanda's own red crown-mask) appears on his forehead. At the end of the series, he and Agatha set out to find his twin brother Tommy.

In VisionQuest, Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica) aka Speed, is living on the street and using his speedy powers to pull some pretty low-brow pickpocketing schemes before he's introduced to his father, Vision... though it's pretty complicated stuff given the fact that Tommy is technically living in someone else's body and Vision is the version rebuilt by S.W.O.R.D., not the version that was living with Wanda in Westview, New Jersey. We don't know if Wiccan and Speed will meet up in VisionQuest, but now that we know that we'll see them together eventually... does that mean we're getting that Young Avengers movie after all?

The first two episodes of VisionQuest are set to hit Disney Plus on October 14. To stay up to date with every other MCU movie and television show coming our way, check out our guide.

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 is set to be the show's last, but it won't be the end of Matt Murdock in the MCU (or so we hope).

"Maybe this will open the door for that," a tight-lipped Charlie Cox tells GamesRadar+ at NYCC, when asked if we'll see Daredevil in an upcoming MCU movie. "We'll see."

Before the premiere of Daredevil: Born Again in 2025, Matt Murdock briefly appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home as Peter Parker's lawyer as he faces public scrutiny after having his identity doxxed by Mysterio in Far From Home. A stunned Peter is unaware of Matt's powers, as he manages to catch a brick thrown through the apartment window by a protester. When Peter asks how he was able to do that, Matt replies: "I'm a really good lawyer." The cameo marked Cox's first appearance in the MCU, officially making the Netflix Daredevil series canon.

It was recently announced that Daredevil: Born Again would end after three seasons on Disney Plus, much like the Netflix series did back in 2018. During the Marvel TV and Animation panel at NYCC, Cox joked that the cancellation was the "#SaveDaredevil" internet campaign happening all over again. He told GR+, however, that he and the cast went into filming Born Again season 3 with the "feeling that it would be the end of an era."

Daredevil: Born Again has wrapped filming, but does not yet have a release date. For more, here's every other Marvel update from the Marvel TV New York Comic-Con panel.

Marvel’s most offbeat trilogy comes to a conclusion in VisionQuest. The follow-up to 2021 MCU TV pioneer WandaVision and 2024’s occult follow-up Agatha All Along, VisionQuest puts Paul Bettany’s sentient synthezoid in the spotlight for a story of fathers, sons, unlikely love, and the very origins of artificial general intelligence in the MCU.

Like its predecessors, VisionQuest is a mystery box series with a decidedly off-kilter sensibility. Several years after overriding his programming and flying away from Westview, White Vision is now working in a Scottish pub by day and living in a utopia of his own creation by night. The virtual architectural marvel that Vision calls home is a haven for orphaned Stark AIs J.A.R.V.I.S. (Hugh D'Arcy), F.R.I.D.A.Y. (Orla Brady), E.D.I.T.H. (Emily Hampshire), and even former Avengers villain, Ultron (James Spader). Per Vision’s house rules (and the limits of CGI budgets), all roam the oblique-angled halls as human avatars.

Vision’s relatively peaceful existence is upended when the bounty hunter Paladin (Todd Stashwick) puts Vision in his crosshairs for a mysterious Client, and unearths the existence of Vision's son, Tommy Shepherd (Ruaridh Mollica) – one of the twin boys born of Wanda’s Westview Hex who winds up in the body of a London pickpocket. Vision’s quest: save Tommy, evade Paladin, and reveal the identity of The Client. Oh, and did we mention there’s an avian serial killer known as Butcherbird bumping off prominent AI specialists across the globe?

Paranoid androids

VisionQuest, then, is a dense show. It packs an awful lot into 8 episodes, with most clocking in at close to, or over, an hour each. While WandaVision concerned itself with an exploration of the Scarlet Witch's grief (via the medium of TV sitcoms), VisionQuest has more existential questions front of mind as White Vision reckons with his relationship to his former self, sort of dad Ultron, magical son Tommy, and the legacy of how he came to be; let's say it isn't just Tony Stark and Bruce Banner who have fingerprints in Vision's source code.

It can be surprisingly heady at points – like WandaVision's Ship of Theseus exchange extrapolated over 8 hours – but it also has a lot of heart, particularly when it comes to the show's more human-than-human AIs. J.A.R.V.I.S., F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., and security/maintenance men D.U.M.-E. and U. are a delightful bunch of oddballs for Vision to bounce off and find kinship with. And it even finds time to humanise mercenary assassin, Paladin.

As greater threats emerge, Bettany dials up the danger in his performance – one of many shades here that the long-serving Marvel star has never had the chance to play previously in the MCU. It's a far more complete, well, vision of the character than we've seen before. But the show's best work is reserved for genocidal AI Ultron, who's transformed into a lovable, megalomaniac grandpa who hangs out in Vision's attic. Spader's capricious murder bot steals every scene he's in.

Showrunner Terry Matalas previously created the well-received 12 Monkeys TV show and Picard season 3, so is no stranger to brain-bending, high-concept sci-fi shows. Sometimes, VisionQuest is too complicated for its own good; it can be hard to keep track of whether something is happening in the virtual world or tangible reality at points, and there's intentional obfuscation going on when it comes to the show's underpinning mysteries that only adds to the sense of confusion. This should lend itself to WandaVision-level theorizing week-to-week – a shame then that Marvel is releasing the show in two-episode batches, rather than letting each episode breathe.

Pleasingly, the answers we do get are satisfying and come at a regular enough clip that you're never left in the dark for too long, before the show swiftly moves onto the next mystery. T'Nia Miller's Jocasta has featured little in pre-release promotional materials, but becomes one of the show's more compelling central figures as the series progresses. And in the same way that Agatha All Along was a vehicle to introduce Joe Locke's Wiccan into the MCU proper, VisionQuest does the same for Raurdih's Mollica's Speed, taking him on a full emotional journey here. If anything, Tommy is better served by VisionQuest not concealing his identity or powers.

Like father, like son

WandaVision's ingenious sitcoms-through-the-ages structure is a tough act to follow, and there's a sense that VisionQuest is constantly striving to match its predecessor's audacious creativity. It's a show that has an awful lot of fourth-wall-breaking fun with the MCU, though, with winking references to Wanda's ignominious fate in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thanos' scrotum-like chin and more. The fact that James D'Arcy reprises his Agent Carter role as Edwin Jarvis isn't even addressed, and for long-serving MCU fans, it ties up the existence of Jim Hammond – glimpsed briefly in sculpture form in Captain America: The First Avenger – in a way that brings MCU synthezoids full circle.

VisionQuest does have a less contentious relationship with traditional superhero action than WandaVision – a show which infamously dropped the ball in its finale by prioritizing empty spectacle over a carefully mounting mystery. When Vision goes full phasing, laser-shooting synthezoid, easily dispatching a room full of armed heavies in the blink of an eye, it's thrilling. But, maddeningly, as he was in Infinity War, Vision is again critically compromised early in the series thanks to the sudden development of vibranium bullets (you'd think MCU bad guys would have thought to use them before now). As a way to put Vision on the back foot, it's a frustrating decision.

Like Vision himself, then, VisionQuest is a flawed creation: often brilliant, but riddled with imperfections and contradictions. As the final MCU project to hit screens before Marvel mega-event Avengers: Doomsday, it's also a little surprising how disconnected from the wider MCU story VisionQuest feels, with no sense that any of this will one day feed into the bigger picture. Instead, it serves as the end for a certain era of MCU TV, and it that sense it's a worthy final chapter.

VisionQuest streams on Disney Plus from October 13. Never miss an episode with our VisionQuest release schedule, or look ahead to the future of the MCU with our guide to all the upcoming Marvel shows.

VisionQuest is now underway, and after that double-episode premiere, we're set for another super-sized serving next week, but it won't be that straightforward all season.

Below, we have the complete VisionQuest release schedule as confirmed by Marvel. We also have the VisionQuest episodes 3 and 4 release date and streaming time, perfect for those who want to watch the Disney Plus show ASAP and start theorycrafting in the way they did for WandaVision and Agatha All Along.

Alongside the full WandaVision release schedule, we also have an episode count for you to plan accordingly. Then you can dive into our guides on upcoming Marvel movies and Marvel Phase 6 if you want to see what's ahead beyond Vision's Mindplace.

VisionQuest episodes 3 and 4 release date and streaming time

VisionQuest episodes 3 and 4 release on October 20 at 6:00 PM Pacific/9:00 PM Eastern. That's 2:00 AM BST on October 21 in the UK.

VisionQuest is sticking to its double helping of episodes for the time being, but that's set to change later in the season. Speaking of which...

VisionQuest release schedule: when are new episodes out?

Fittingly, VisionQuest's release is a bit of an odd duck. Instead of releasing one episode every week, the show - which focuses on what Vision did next after the events of WandaVision – will release two episodes a week until episode six. Then, the penultimate episode and finale will be given their own weeks.

Why? We spoke to showrunner/creator Terry Matalas at New York Comic Con about the VisionQuest release plans, and he said, "They are airing in a way that gives you a meal every week... [episodes] seven and eight are their own kind of movies."

The full VisionQuest release schedule is here:

• VisionQuest episode 1: October 13 (US)/October 14 (UK) - Out now!
• VisionQuest episode 2: October 13 (US)/October 14 (UK) - Out now!
• VisionQuest episode 3: October 20 (US)/October 21 (UK)
• VisionQuest episode 4: October 20 (US)/October 21 (UK)
• VisionQuest episode 5: October 27 (US)/October 28 (UK)
• VisionQuest episode 6: October 27 (US)/October 28 (UK)
• VisionQuest episode 7: November 3 (US)/November 4 (UK)
• VisionQuest episode 8: November 10 (US)/November 11 (UK)

Where to watch VisionQuest and episode count

VisionQuest will be available to all Disney Plus subscribers upon release, though we can't rule out it appearing on Disney-owned ABC in the same way Ms. Marvel did a few years ago.

WandaVision will run for a confirmed eight episodes, which is slightly shorter than the nine episodes of both WandaVision and Agatha All Along.

Still behind on the MCU? Make like Ultron and catch up in style with our guide on how to watch the Marvel movies in order.

A lot of familiar faces are going to be re-uploaded back into the MCU next week with the arrival of VisionQuest on Disney+. Already, reactions are beaming about the new series, which will see Vision have a father-son bonding session with his son, Tommy Maximoff (Ruaridh Mollica), while Ultron (James Spader) tries again to pull strings he absolutely shouldn't touch.

In an exclusive interview with GamesRadar+, Mollica discussed finding his footing as Tommy, aka Speed, and compared it to Tobey Maguire's legendary wall-crawler when he first took a swing at Spider-Man in 2002.

"My favorite journey when I watch superhero stuff is when people are figuring out their powers for the first time," explained Mollica. "Like when Peter Parker's figuring out how his webs work and he's like shooting them over the lunch hall. Those moments when superpower and human, the line is completely blurred, and you get to imagine yourself as that person, you know?"

Even after this journey, the new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe said he was still struggling to wrap his head around his place in the franchise. "Tommy Maximoff is so cool, and I still can't believe my Mum and my Dad are Vision and the Scarlet Witch." Unfortunately, some people can't choose their family, and that includes Ultron, technically Tommy's sadistic, super-advanced grandfather, whom Mollica hints will make for an interesting relationship.

"He's the one that Tommy finds so fascinating. He's the one who grew up seeing what happened in Sokovia. He's in the world where the Avengers exist; he's seen how horrible Ultron is and suddenly he's face to face, or in the same realm with him. That comes with a lot of questions."

We'll see just what questions get answered when the first two episodes of VisionQuest arrive on Disney+ on October 14. To stay up to date with all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows heading our way, check out our guide.

In an exclusive interview with GamesRadar+ at New York Comic-Con, Finn Jones revealed that he and a friend may be going into business together in Daredevil: Born Again. The third and final season of the Disney+ show will reunite him with his former Defenders, including Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter). However, fans may be most excited to see Jones and Colter back together, as the two could finally partner up as the Heroes for Hire.

Speaking about the superhero reunion that's been almost a decade in the making, Jones talked about what it feels like to be back on the beat as part of the street-level team. That's before he let slip that the sought-after partnership between Luke and Danny will appear in some form or another in the new season.

"It's weird. I've never been a part of a cast where the chemistry is just so innate, not only with the actors but also the way the characters interact with each other. It's special. The Defenders are special," assured Jones. Of course, with Matt behind bars, Danny and Luke have to step in and, well, defend New York City, presumably while Jess rolls her eyes at them for the umpteenth time, which is exactly what we want. "The more they can flesh that out, the more the fans are gonna be happy because the fans really want it. Especially between me and Mike and Heroes for Hire," hinted Jones. "Something like that, I know people are desperate for. We'll get a glimpse of that maybe in season 3 of Daredevil."

It was always the hope that eventually we'd see Luke and Danny set up Heroes for Hire Inc. in the MCU. The company that was established by the two super friends in 1978 provided both protection and investigation services for the right fee. Previous clients have included Tony Stark and even Doctor Doom, who got a pasting from Luke Cage after trying to scam him out of $200. The company continued for years, with other heroes signing up to provide their services, including Scott Lang's Ant-Man, Ghost Rider, and Spider-Man.

It remains to be seen how much the Heroes for Hire will be involved in Born Again season 3. Could we see Luke and Danny in lengthy stakeouts monitoring the activities of Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio)? Will Luke ask anyone at one point, "Where's my money, honey?" We'll have to wait until the show returns next year to find out. For every other upcoming Marvel movie and show, check out our guide.

VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas reveals the level of freedom Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige bestowed upon him when putting together the conclusion to the WandaVision 'trilogy'.

"There was a couple of early ideas that we would talk about with Kevin and be like, 'Well, what about this?'" Matalas told IGN. "And you could quickly read his temperature. But we pretty much did exactly what we [wanted] with these – I had a brilliant writing staff that we conceived in the room and I think it's all on the screen."

Feige, though, did come to Matalas – who has previous as a showrunner on Picard and 12 Monkeys – with one big-picture idea that would form the genesis of the Vision-focused Disney Plus series, which catches back up with 'White Vision' after the events of Westview.

"The only thing I knew for sure from Kevin when he called about it was he's going to reunite with his son. He's like, 'The rest is up to you.'

That, in turn, led to a brainstorming session and an unlikely eureka moment – it was time to bring back a long-dead Supervillain. "'Well, who's [Vision] talking to? Because Tommy feels like a thing he's got to get to,'" Matalas recalled. "And I was like, 'It's Ultron. It's Ultron.' And then I was like, 'How do I get to Ultron?' Ultron was dead."

As expected from the cinematic universe that brought us the mind-melting WandaVision and the bewitching Agatha All Along, VisionQuest is doing things differently – with Paul Bettany's android seemingly coming into contact with his son, as well as his interactions with various AI in his Mindspace, including Ultron.

Sounds confusing? VisionQuest first reactions hail it as one of Marvel's best shows to date, ensuring that it continues the high bar set by WandaVision.

VisionQuest streams on Disney Plus from October 14.

Wondering what you need to watch before VisionQuest? Well, you're in the right place if you want to brush up on everything you need to know before reuniting with Vision for his new Disney Plus series.

The new show reintroduces some key MCU characters as well as bringing the WandaVision story to a close. As a result, there are several shows and movies that are pretty much essential viewing if you want to understand what's going on in VisionQuest and the history behind the character dynamics.

For all you need to know about this, read on for our handy guide. While you're at it, have a read of our breakdown of upcoming Marvel movies and shows as well.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Where to watch? Disney Plus

Vision's story begins in Avengers: Age of Ultron. In this movie, he's created by Ultron, a rogue AI that Tony Stark and Bruce Banner built with the hope he'd help them keep peace in turbulent times. Instead, he turns against humanity and tries to create a synthezoid body for himself. Luckily, the Avengers intercept this, implanting it with elements of J.A.R.V.I.S. and the Mind Stone to create Vision. This is an essential watch for understanding both Vision and Ultron, the two characters at the heart of VisionQuest.

Avengers: Infinity War

Where to watch? Disney Plus

One of the most important movies to watch before VisionQuest is Avengers: Infinity War. With the Mind Stone implanted in Vision's head, he becomes a target for Thanos, who is looking for all the Infinity Stones. At the beginning of the movie, Wanda and Vision are living in Edinburgh, having found an unexpected connection that developed during Captain America: Civil War.

When they're ambushed by Thanos' underlings, it becomes clear that Vision is the villain's most-wanted Avenger. While they do everything they can to keep him safe, the story leads to the tragic conclusion of Thanos ripping the stone from his head, killing him and completing the Infinity Gauntlet. This has huge consequences in the MCU, but it is also a turning point for Wanda Maximoff, who is overcome by grief.

WandaVision

WandaVision is the ultimate must-watch before VisionQuest. Set after Vision's death, this series sees Wanda Maximoff creating an alternate reality where she can live with her family, Vision and their twin sons Tommy and Billy. Set across sitcom-inspired episodes, the series explores the pain of grief and the power of love between these two characters in one of the most inspired stories that the MCU has ever made. It's also essential to understanding the version of Vision we meet in VisionQuest, White Vision, who comes into the story in the finale.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

While some parts of WandaVision clash with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it's definitely one that should be on your watchlist, given it reveals Wanda Maximoff's fate. Wanda is the villain of the Doctor Strange sequel, which sees her in pursuit of America Chavez, a teenager who can travel across the multiverse. She wants to steal her power in order to reunite with her children, who she lost when she destroyed Westview. Wanda isn't successful and her story comes to a tragic end in this movie when she buries herself in the collapsing Mount Wundagore, killing off her character.

Agatha All Along

Another essential watch is Agatha All Along, which is the second show in the WandaVision trilogy. The biggest reason to watch this one is because of the Maximoff twins. The series focuses mainly on Agatha Harkness and Billy Maximoff's relationship as it's revealed how Billy survived with his Westview memories in tow. At the end of the show there is also a tease about how Tommy is brought back as well. Given we're meeting Ruaridh Mollica's Tommy Shepherd in VisionQuest, this is one you don't want to miss.

VisionQuest begins on Disney Plus on October 14. For where it slots into the MCU, check out our breakdown of the Marvel timeline.

A sprawling Lego Marvel Skyline with some of the franchise's best-loved locations has been revealed, and besides ample fan-service, it's got some gloriously silly deep cuts.

The 1,200-piece kit went up for pre-order at the Lego store yesterday ahead of its launch in January, and it's a rogue's gallery of the Marvel universe's most iconic buildings. While there are plenty you'd expect to see like Avengers Tower, the X-Mansion, and the Fantastic Four's Baxter Building, it's also stuffed with lesser-known locations from the comics like Rand Industries (Iron Fist's company) and then villainous AIM. In addition, Lego Marvel Skyline makes sure to sneak in a couple of very goofy references too – the Spider-Mobile and Thanos Copter.

Yes, Thanos the Mad Titan – destroyer of half the universe – used to fly about in an incredibly silly yellow helicopter that he named after himself. This can be seen hovering beside the Daily Bugle from the Spider-Man mythos.

Oh, and speaking of everyone's favorite webhead, his infamous 'Spider-Mobile' is also scaling the Bugle. Spidey was made this by an in-universe car company who wanted to promote their non-polluting engine, and it's been an in-joke ever since. (There was even an alternate-universe version of Peter who looked like Spider-Mobile called 'Peter Parkedcar,' which is the best thing I've ever heard.)

In terms of other references, there's a Chitauri Leviathan from the 2012 Avengers movie, Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum, Oscorp, the Department of Damage Control (with a teeny Spidey out front stopping a train as he did in Spider-Man 2), Daredevil's law office Nelson and Murdock, the hyper-evil Roxxon Corporation, a Wakandan Embassy referencing Black Panther, and Fisk Tower. There's even a to-scale Galactus minifigure as well, which might be the first we've ever gotten.

Much like the new Lego PlayStation with its Gran Turismo diorama, it's also populated with tiny cars made using squares or curved single stud pieces on a roller skate.

Lego Marvel Skyline will drop on January 1, 2027.

There's quite a lot on the docket for January; an iconic piece of Joker art is being made into a Lego Batman set, but fans are worried it'll haunt kids' nightmares. However, it's impressive enough to challenge the best Lego sets, so maybe it gets a pass.

VisionQuest introduces Tommy Maximoff to the MCU as Ruaridh Mollica appears in the new Disney Plus show as Wanda and Vision's son. Earlier this year, the actor revealed that this wasn't actually the first time he auditioned for Marvel, but he couldn't remember who the other role was he tested for.

However, it seems he's since had a realization of who it was, and it's a pretty neat full circle moment for the star. "I clocked it after someone asked me before and I couldn't remember what it was," he replied when asked if he ever found out what the role was by Pedestrian TV. "I found the dummy sides and it was actually Joe Locke's part. It was the other twin, isn't that mad?" As Paul Bettany puts it in the same interview, "it was always meant to be."

Locke plays Billy Maximoff in the Disney Plus show Agatha All Along, which is the second series in the WandaVision trilogy. At the end of that show, Tommy's entrance is teased when Billy uses his powers to put his brother's soul into a dying boy.

We'll meet Tommy in VisionQuest as he teams up with Vision as the pair try and work out just who they are to one another. The new show acts as the conclusion to the WandaVision trilogy as it follows White Vision after he had the original Vision's memories implanted into his head.

Along with the Stark A.I.s and Ultron, he'll try and reconcile just what this means about who he is. All the while, he's on the run from a mysterious bounty hunter.

Marvel's new series Zodiac has been announced, and fans already have a theory that it's linked to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. This comes after Phil Coulson star Clark Gregg shared the announcement to his Instagram account, sparking rumors.

This was coupled with Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum's comments on the new "spy thriller" at Marvel's New York Comic Con panel. "For anyone who knows the comics, if you look closely at this title design, you’ll see a few clues about where we’re going," he told audiences. "I can’t tell you anything else about it yet because it’s a secret. We're going to start casting it in a couple weeks"

Eagle-eyed fans have been pouring over the logo and think they've spotted the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo on the A. "This is definitely the SHIELD logo on the A right? Right?? AoS revival???," one user wrote on Reddit, while another replied: "With how other shows and movies have been bringing people back I wouldn't be surprised if they incorporated at least one character."

The last time we saw Coulson was in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. finale back in 2020. After his character was killed in The Avengers, he returned in the final season of that show as an android. It's not clear how he would be linked to this new series but as we know by now pretty much anything is possible in the MCU.

In the comics, Zodiac is a criminal organization where each member is named after a Zodiac sign. The most prolific is Scorpio, who is actually the brother of Nick Fury. There's lots of interesting directions Marvel could be going with this one, and it seems we'll find out more when the casting begins.

We're days away from reuniting with everyone's favorite synthezoid, or a version of him, in VisionQuest, and the hype is building, with social media reactions appearing online.

The first episode was shown today at New York Comic Con, and fans are liking what they see so far. @sagesurge said, "They showed the first epsiode of Vision Quest and it was interesting. It's incredibly smart, stylish, funny, and full of philosophy. I'm just waiting for James Spader to go FULL Ultron." @arkh4m also added that "We just saw the premiere for Vision Quest. And I really liked it, fascinating premiere. White Vision trying to get in touch with the emotions of Vision and from WandaVision. Great connector to the other two."

@demetherself wrote, "VisionQuest is a worthy successor to WandaVision, and it feels like a love letter to Wanda Maximoff at times. It tackles the themes of love, grief, generational trauma, and identity. The relationship between Tommy and Vision will leave you wanting more from this family. James Spader is a delight, and Emily Hampshire is a surprisingly entertaining addition."

"The WandaVision trilogy comes to a near-perfect conclusion with #VisionQuest," adds @Elphaba_Anne. "Terry Matalas does a masterful job showing a deep love for and understanding of many projects that paved the way while still making the story his own, executing a distinct creative vision (pun intended)."

@JoBlo also gave the show the kind of praise worth getting giddy about, revealing that "VisionQuest is a full circle moment for the #MCU. Paul Bettany is great in a long-overdue return as Vision, while James Spader steals the show as Ultron. Heartfelt, innovative, and the most fun Marvel Television has been in quite some time."

It's great to see that so many returning MCU stars in this mysterious show are getting the flowers they deserve. @TheDecider assured that we're in for a treat, writing, "The series delivers a genuine love letter to WandaVision fans, moving the story into something deeper & more mature that serves as a perfect closer to the trilogy. Paul Bettany shines in every episode, while James Spader’s Ultron is exactly what the show needs."

We'll see how they all get their wires crossed when VisionQuest arrives on Disney+ on October 14. To keep up to date with Marvel news, check out our New York Comic Con Marvel panel live blog.

Fans of the Man Without Fear had their worst ones realized last month when it was announced that Daredevil: Born Again season 3 would end after its third season. It comes as no surprise, then, that Charlie Cox hanging up his horns as Matthew Murdock for what might be the final time was a topic of discussion at today's Marvel Television panel at NYCC, along with some new footage for the vigilante's swansong.

The last time we saw the hero of Hell's Kitchen, he was thrown behind bars after confessing he was Daredevil to bring down Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) at the end of Daredevil: Born Again season 2. At the New York Comic Con, we got a glimpse of how he's handling things in some exciting new footage. Would you believe it? Matthew Murdock is punching people. Again.

The footage begins with the worst-kept secret in the MCU as Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and the former(?) Iron Fist, Danny Rand (Finn Jones) walk into a government building. We then see Matt (Cox) in prison, while elsewhere Wilson Bethel's Bullseye sets off a bomb in the big house, too.

The footage ends with Matt making his own makeshift Daredevil outfit from an orange prison jumpsuit, echoing the look he wore in Chip Zdarsky's comic run. As he gets to work on his new get-up, a voiceover from Matt can be heard, accepting his sentencing. "I made a choice to pay for my so-called crimes of stopping a madman from turning the city into his own personal kingdom," he says. "And if that is the bargain, I will pay for that choice every time."

Of course, the excitement is bittersweet, since this could be the last time we see Cox do time as Matt Murdock, even if he joked about the recent news. During the panel, host Brandon Davis mentioned it was the final season, and Cox jokingly pretended to hear the news for the first time. "What, what?" He then added, "All I'll say is that I imagine the 'Save Daredevil' campaign will be gearing up for reality. You don't want to invite the wrath of the 'Save Daredevil' people."

We'll have to find out how the final dance with the devil arrives on Disney+ next year. For more, here's every other Marvel update from the Marvel TV New York Comic-Con panel.

If you're still feeling starved for Spidey-related action after the record-breaking Spider-Man: Brand New Day, worry not. NYCC has confirmed when to expect season 2 of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and who he'll face.

As the brand-new poster below reveals, Spidey will be back in action on Disney Plus on January 13, 2027. He'll also be going another round with the symbiotes and get a fancy, fresh suit for his troubles. Of course, it won't stay on him for long, since it's a living parasite that ends up finding a far more troubled host.

The poor fella in question is Mr. Eddie Brock, who will eventually become Venom and will be voiced by longtime Spidey vocal artist Josh Keaton, who voiced the webslinger in The Spectacular Spider-Man and Electro in the 2018 Spider-Man game. With such a legendary foe, Spidey will need extra webbing, which, in this case, will come from Gwen Stacy, aka Spider-Gwen, who is also set to make an appearance, although there's still no confirmation on who will be voicing her.

Beyond Peter's close encounter with the symbiote kind, there's a lot more going on that will be picked up from last season. When we last left our hero (voiced by Hudson Thames), he'd survived a scrap with the alien with help from Doctor Strange (Robin Atkin Downes). Some villains were behind bars, and more heroic allies, including Daredevil (voiced by Charlie Cox and set to return in season 2), were keeping an eye on Norman Osborn (Colman Domingo). Perhaps the biggest shock of the season finale, though, was the appearance of Richard Parker, Peter's father, whose reunion with his secretly superheroic son sparked a lot of questions.

It certainly looks like there'll be a lot of action, but we'll have to wait until January 2027 to see more when (deep breath) Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 returns to Disney+. For all other Marvel news, check out our New York Comic Con panel live blog.

The Marvel Television panel at NYCC today is drawing a lot of moaning and groaning, but in the best way possible. Shuffling back onto screens in animated form for a second season is Marvel Zombies, but it's been revealed it won't be a follow-up to the original What If...? spin-off.

Instead, we're getting not one, not two, but three downright rotten specials set in the undead universe, just scheduled for the next three years. Kicking off in Halloween 2027, we'll be seeing how Bucky Barnes handles the flesh-munching horde in Marvel Zombies: The Winter Soldier. Then, in 2028, the undead army will go up against Moon Knight in Marvel Zombies: The Fist of Khonshu, followed by Marvel Zombies: The Last Guardian in 2029.

Two of those specials raise interesting questions about both the MCU behind the scenes and the universe itself. Our last encounter with the Marvel Zombies saw Kamala Khan team up with Blade Knight, the legendary vampire hunter who had been assigned to be the Fist of Khonshu. While Mahershala Ali didn't voice the character, his likeness was used, raising the question of whether his face will reappear in the upcoming chapter, even though the Blade movie is well and truly dead. Alternatively, it could mean Oscar Isaac might return as Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley.

On the upcoming animations, Winderbaum revealed, "Brian Andrews, the director of Marvel Zombies, who's also directed some of my favorite episodes of What If, is back for three more Marvel Zombies." Regarding the Winter Soldier, Marvel Television head hinted that it has "some real big surprises" in it. "I won't tell you who The Last Guardian is, but it's very, very exciting. We're about halfway through Animatics. It's like a gory, blood-splattery, but also quite beautiful show that I cannot believe Disney Plus lets us make."

Could Chris Pratt reprise his role as Star-Lord, or could another of those intergalactic a-holes face the music as humans get munched instead? Well, if there's any chance to include Michael Jackson's Thriller in the MCU, it's this.

For every other bit of Marvel news from NYCC, check out our Marvel TV and animation live blog now.

Marvel might be cutting shows left and right, but it's now been confirmed that a brand new one is on the horizon, and it's the long-rumored spy series, Zodiac. As predicted, the show was announced at the NYCC Marvel Television panel today, and executive producer Brad Winderbaum had little to say, naturally keeping what's in store top secret. "It's a spy thriller. We start shooting in London this spring," he revealed.

Naturally, no matter how covert this new show might be operating, Winderbaum is prepared for some info to slip through the cracks. "I'm sure there's going to be lots of spoilers because we're going to start casting it in the next couple of weeks, and it is amazing. And if you're a fan of the comics, there is a lot hidden in that logo."

Eagle-eyed fans might notice the SHIELD logo in the 'A,' while the 'O' strangely resembles parts of Tony Stark's arc reactor. It's hard to say what that could mean, though. In the comics, the most prominent Zodiac was a masked villain who debuted in the 2009 Dark Reign event, causing chaos for Norman Osborn and later going toe-to-toe with Moon Knight. It's hard to say whether that character will connect to the upcoming show, but since Zodiac used heavy surveillance to mess with the Fist of Khonshu, he might fit into a story about spies and hidden-camera work.

Expect more news on this in the coming months as names are pulled from the hat. For any other Marvel news, keep an eye on our New York Comic Con Marvel panel live blog.

VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas says Jocasta, an android known in the Marvel comics for her relationship with Ultron, has been purposely left out of promo for the upcoming Disney Plus show.

"T'Nia Miller," Matalas tells Collider. "We have purposely kept her character out of a lot of the promotion of the show because T'Nia's performance is revelatory. Chilling, nuanced, and even a little heartbreaking. I can't wait for everyone to see it."

Jocasta made her first appearance in The Avengers #162 back in 1977. Ultron created Jocasta with the intention of making her his wife, and even stole the life force from Janet van Dyne aka the Wasp, to try and make it happen.

Upon realizing Janet would have to die in order for her to live, Jocasta told the Avengers, who promptly defeated him. Though she's programmed to be loyal to Ultron, she eventually betrays him and becomes an unofficial member of the Avengers.

Over the years, Jocasta has been included in several "comic book characters that should be in the MCU" types of lists, from both fans and media publications alike. Miller's performance marks Jocasta's first-ever live-action appearance, which is pretty dang exciting.

I think it's safe to say that we're in for a pretty dark family reunion, what with Vision and Ultron already living in the same house in the upcoming series (though keep in mind that this version of Vision doesn't necessarily remember that Ultron is a genocidal maniac).

VisionQuest arrives this October 14. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows for everything else that's on the way.

It's an interesting time for Marvel television. The studio has been cutting back on its small-screen output on Disney Plus with the recent cancellation of Wonder Man and the news that Daredevil: Born Again is ending with season 3. However, while all signs are pointing to a smaller output, Marvel has still announced a New York Comic Con 2026 panel to showcase their upcoming slate.

As always, details on the panel are pretty slim, but that doesn't mean we won't be in for some big surprises. Below, we get into our big predictions of what might happen at the panel as Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum invites a series of guests to join him in the Big Apple. From new details on previously announced television shows as well as insight from Marvel's animation output, we're expecting some big reveals. There are even some rumors that several new MCU series are already in development, which could make a surprise appearance.

For everything we're expecting from the Marvel TV and animation panel, read on for our complete guide below. And while you're here, why not have a read of our Marvel timeline to get up to speed ahead of time.

VisionQuest final reveals

Marvel's biggest upcoming show is set to hit Disney Plus in just a few weeks. VisionQuest will mark the end of the WandaVision trilogy as it picks up with White Vision after the events of the climactic season finale. We'll meet Paul Bettany's synthezoid as he tries to grapple with Vision's implanted memories, his place as a former AI, his origins from Ultron, and a bounty hunter on his tail. Just a normal Tuesday, right?

We've seen lots of trailers at this point, so our best guess is that Bettany, James Spader, and showrunner Terry Matalas might make an appearance at the panel to give a few final updates.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 trailer

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 will be swinging onto our screens in January 2027, and we still haven't seen a trailer. First footage debuted behind closed doors at D23 back in August, so I'm betting New York Comic Con will be when Marvel Studios releases the teaser for everyone to see.

The new season will pick up after the events of season one as Peter Parker battles his usual rogues' gallery. Hudson Thames returns to voice Spidey, alongside Colman Domingo as Norman Osborn and Charlie Cox as Daredevil. Newcomers in season 2 include Spider-Gwen and Eddie Brock, and rumors are that Peter will be getting a symbiote suit too. I can't wait to get the first proper look at that.

First look at Daredevil: Born Again season 3

Daredevil: Born Again has always had a very strong presence at New York Comic Con thanks to its setting. However, it's not quite clear whether this will continue for season 3, given the recent news that this will be the show's final outing. I'm hoping that we'll still get a final send-off appearance from Hell's Kitchen's finest given that season 3 has wrapped filming.

My biggest hope is that Charlie Cox might make an appearance to debut the first look at new footage, although at this stage it feels likely this will debut behind closed doors. GamesRadar+ will be in the room, though, to give you all the updates as we get them. If we do get any new footage of Daredevil: Born Again season 3, I'm expecting official confirmation about some familiar faces returning after all the set leaks earlier this year.

X-Men '97 season 3 and Marvel Zombies season 2 updates

While live-action TV for Marvel may be in flux, it seems like animation is thriving. X-Men '97 season 3 and 4 have already been confirmed, with the former set to arrive in 2027. The ending of season 2 of the mutant show also set up a tantalizing tease for the direction of the show in new episodes by introducing Mystique to the fray. Footage of X-Men '97 has previously debuted at NYCC, so it's possible this could happen again this year, although it would be pretty early.

Marvel Zombies is also officially returning for a second season and could make an appearance at the panel. Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum announced back in April on The Escape Pod that he'd seen an animatic of the first episode. Based on this timeline, it seems pretty likely that we could be in for some new footage from the show, whether this be a trailer or a clip. Plenty of the MCU's biggest stars reprised their roles for their animated counterparts in the first season, so there may also be some confirmation of more stars following in their footsteps.

New TV shows

A big question mark is currently hanging over Marvel's upcoming slate: will there be any more live-action TV shows? At the moment, the only confirmed shows are VisionQuest, which will release very soon, and Daredevil: Born Again season 3, which will be the final season. Beyond that, Marvel has no more live-action shows in development. Could NYCC be the place to announce more?

It's certainly possible, especially given recent reports that the studio has been actively developing a number of shows. According to The Hollywood Reporter back in September, Marvel has between three and five series in development. The publication even announced that one, a thriller codenamed Zodiac, was very close to being greenlit. If this is true, it seems inevitable that we might get some announcements at New York Comic-Con. Watch this space.

The Marvel TV and animation panel takes place at New York Comic Con on Thursday, October 8 at 4:15pm ET (1:15pm PT and 9:15pm BST).

For more on the MCU, here are our guides to upcoming Marvel movies and shows, as well as our breakdown of how to watch the Marvel movies in order.

Just two weeks before the premiere of VisionQuest, Marvel has the first three episodes of WandaVision available to stream for free on YouTube.

You might recall that WandaVision is the first TV show to kick off the Disney Plus era of the MCU, with each series tying into the main movie universe. WandaVision takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame, where a grief-stricken Wanda Maximoff uses magic to create a happy, idyllic life in the wake of Vision's tragic death at the hands of Thanos. At the end of the series, Wanda allows the magically created Vision to disappear into the ether, while a fully rebuilt all-white version of Vision was created by S.W.O.R.D.. It's the latter version who starts a brand-new life in VisionQuest, and invites Ultron (James Spader) to come live in his house (brain?) for some reason.

The cast includes Orla Brady as FRIDAY, Emily Hampshire as EDITH, and James D'Arcy as JARVIS (yes, that Jarvis). Ruaridh Mollica plays Tommy Maximoff, Wanda's son, who was introduced by name in the first WandaVision spin-off Agatha All Along. In the trailer, Ultron says to Tommy, "You really are a son of a witch" (and that's pretty dang exciting).

There will also be some VisionQuest news to come out of New York City Comic Con, and knowing Marvel, it'll probably be cameo-related.

VisionQuest arrives this October 14. The first three episodes of WandaVision are available now on the official Marvel YouTube channel. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows for everything else that's on the way.

It's the most wonderful time of the year (at least for us New York City-based nerds). New York City Comic Con is almost upon us, and much like San Diego Comic-Con, we can expect a plethora of exciting news, reveals, and announcements from the most highly anticipated movies and TV shows set to arrive in 2026 and beyond. From new Marvel TV shows to a long-awaited horror prequel and a follow-up to one of the best animated shows from our childhoods... there's truly something for everyone this year at NYCC.

Below, we've rounded up five of the biggest highlights – which was no easy feat given how many exciting things there are to look forward to this year. We've mentioned some of the biggest and the best, but there's still so much more. A panel for the upcoming survival thriller Whalefall will feature a Q&A with star Austin Abrams, and we can't forget about Blumfest, which will tease the horror studio's upcoming slate of films... which may or may not include Five Nights at Freddy's 3 (especially since both Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich will be in attendance this year...)

During the week of NYCC, we'll be keeping you updated with every exciting bit of news that comes out of each panel. There are even some immersive activations, one which may or may not involve being chased by Mrs. Voorhees herself... When you're done reading the below, be sure to head on over to our list of all the upcoming Marvel movies and TV shows.

Marvel TV and Animation

Marvel is known for their big convention appearances, which is where they tend to break the biggest news and give us the most exciting announcements. On Thursday, October 8, Marvel will hold a panel (4:15 – 5:45 pm ET at the Empire Stage) that showcases what's next from Marvel Television and Marvel Animation. This will put a spotlight on the upcoming WandaVision spinoff VisionQuest, as well as season 3 of X-Men '97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2. We also may get an early look at Daredevil: Born Again season 3, the final season of the hit Disney Plus series, as the show just wrapped filming in NYC and has entered post-production.

Blade Runner 2099

On Saturday, October 10, Prime Video is holding a panel for upcoming sci-fi series Blade Runner 2099 (6:45 pm ET at the Empire Stage). The lineup includes stars Michelle Yeoh, Hunter Schafer, Dimitri Abold, Lewis Gribben, Matthew Needham, showrunner/executive producer Silka Luisa, and executive Producers Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson. There will also be a two-floor immersive experience designed to put you right in the middle of dystopian Los Angeles. Open to attending NYCC guests, the off-site experience lets you go undercover as a replicant, test your humanity, and even step into a nigh club straight out of the Blade Runner universe (and we hope a giant neon Ana de Armas is there to greet us).

Crystal Lake

Ever wondered why Pamela Voorhees ended up murdering all those camp counselors? Well, Peacock's Crystal Lake picks up right after little Jason was drowned by those bullies and follows Linda Cardellini as the one and only Mrs. Voorhees. On Thursday, fans can check out a special screening of the horror prequel's first episode (6:30 ET at the Empire Stage), followed by a Q&A with Cardellini, creator/showrunner Brad Caleb Kane, and more. Then, they can head on over to the Crystal Lake booth (1359) on the main show floor for an immersive experience that takes you to Camp Crystal Lake in the 1970s.

Dexter: Resurrection season 2

Dexter didn't die... and he's back to killing bad guys, though he's got his son to help him out this time. A panel for Dexter: Resurrection season 2 will take place from 12:30 - 2:00 PM ET on Thursday at the Hall 1D: Main Stage, and feature stars Michael C. Hall, Uma Thurman, James Remar, Jack Alcott, Bokeem Woodbine, and Krysten Ritter. Paramount is also promising "plenty of killer surprises," so we can expect a sneak preview, and maybe even some casting announcements that we did not see coming... will they confirm that Ritter is returning as Lady Vengeance? Will Dan Stevens make an appearance as one of the show's newest NYC serial killers?

Avatar: Seven Havens

On Friday, October 9, Avatar: Seven Havens, a direct sequel to Avatar spin-off The Legend of Korra, will hold a panel from 11:15 - 12:15 pm ET over at the Main Stage. Moderated by the original voice of Korra, Janet Varney, the panel includes cast members Saheli Khan, Aishu Devan, and Major Curda, as well as executive producers Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko, Ethan Spaulding, and Sehaj Sethi. We can expect a sneak peek at the upcoming series, some fun behind-the-scenes fodder, and Paramount has hinted at a possible announcement as to what's next for the Avatar franchise...

"When you mess with time, it tends to mess back," Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark warned in Avengers: Endgame.

How right he was – but no one would have guessed Earth's Mightiest Heroes traipsing around 2012-era New York would have spawned a Marvel classic and laid the groundwork for the MCU's best, most satisfying redemption arc.

Enter Loki, a two-season time-travelling adventure that plucked Tom Hiddleston's trickster god from a timeline involving his hasty escape in Endgame and into the pleasingly lo-fi, analog corridors of the Time Variance Authority (TVA), a group of suits and soldiers that oversee the multiverse and are ready to stomp out any branching timelines that cause temporal headaches at a moment's notice.

Marvel has deployed the multiverse liberally in the past half-decade. It's been used for fan service (Spider-Man: No Way Home and Deadpool & Wolverine), expansive sequels (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), and puzzling post-credits scenes (The Marvels), but – in Loki's case – the original is the best.

For All Time

Instead of using the multiverse as narrative crutch, Loki wields it as a tool to untangle the broken psyche of its most complex villain. Quickly, Thor's half-brother has his ego stripped away as he tiptoes towards the most selfless of goals: restoring balance to a tempestuous multiverse. But, first, Loki has one of the MCU's best villains standing in his way.

While much of its power has been robbed thanks to Jonathan Majors' arrest and subsequent firing, it's the scenes with He Who Remains that turns Loki from a brilliant slice of time-and-space action into something that would have lasting effect on the MCU as a whole – and really hammered home Loki's quality.

Where most of Marvel's output has concentrated on CGI-filled spectacle for its finales, Loki's first season settled on something paradoxically far more intimate and grander.

At the end of time, He Who Remains – a Kang variant – sits over a dying universe, only to be confronted by Loki and his own variant, Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino). After Sylvie stabs him, He Who Remains' iron grip on the universe is lost and the multiverse splinters off into countless unwieldy branches.

The second season spends much of its runtime undoing that multiversal mess, with Kang variant Victor Timely helping set up an Avengers crossover that never was with The Kang Dynasty.

But no matter. The infinite possibilities of the multiverse has helped rework Loki's endgame into the MCU's favor.

Glorious purpose

The Avengers: Endgame Encore re-release bolted on bonus scenes that helped reconfigure Loki and the TVA's role on the path to Avengers: Doomsday.

In an extended ending, Loki interrupts Peggy and Steve's dance to warn them of impending doom (and likely Doom). The TVA, meanwhile, has a front-row seat as over 3,000 timelines perish in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, Doomsday turns from the novelty of Doctor Doom facing the Avengers to an all-consuming apocalyptic event – and wouldn't have got there without Loki training its audience to understand the multiverse, as well as introducing characters it cares about overseeing the whole thing.

Thanks to the first season's montage-style recap of future Loki scenes to help his past self catch up on what could be, the show also neatly sets up Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars for what will be the completion of Marvel's unlikeliest comeback story and its most emotional reunion: a matured Loki meeting face-to-face with a Thor who has lost his home, lost his eye, and his one-time love, but has powered on as a hero and now has his own child to care for. There might not be a dry eye in the house if we get to see Uncle Loki, even for a split-second.

As Marvel seems to be scaling back its Disney Plus output (with the likes of Wonder Man and Daredevil: Born Again being canceled in recent weeks), Loki makes us nostalgic for a different time in the MCU, one where we were guaranteed half-an-hour of stellar character work, a sprinkling of outlandish cameos, and a connective tissue that made it essential viewing for Marvel diehards.

We didn't expect that when Loki made his sudden exit in Avengers: Endgame. But the MCU is all the better for it.

Avengers: Endgame is available to stream now on Disney Plus, ahead of the release of Avengers: Doomsday on December 18. Avengers: Endgame Encore is in theaters now.

Despite Spider-Noir's cancelation, Spider-Man is close to a streaming return at Amazon with an adaptation of one of the webhead's most controversial and divisive comic storylines.

As reported by Deadline, Prime Video could be the destination for a Clone Saga show.

For the uninitiated, the arc – which spanned multiple Spidey titles across the mid-1990s – featured the return of Ben Reilly, a clone of Peter Parker who tricked many into believing he was the real Peter Parker.

What followed was a convoluted, bloated mess of a comic run that brought in even more clones, sidelined Peter Parker for large periods, and was filled with nonsensical plot twists for multiple years. While it still has some fans, it's largely seen as a flawed diamond in the rough that has largely been ignored by comic continuity in the decades since.

The Clone Saga series will revolve around Reilly and Kaine Parker, a failed clone of Peter Parker. Deadline sources also say there could be "significant changes" to the adaptation. Tom Holland is also not expected to be involved.

As you can imagine, fans have chimed in to deliver their thoughts on Clone Saga potentially coming to TV screens. In short, some changes will be necessary for audiences to find it even remotely palatable.

"Terrible idea," one said on Reddit.

"I could be down for this if it’s animated. I just don’t see a way for it to work if it’s in live action," another wrote.

One Spider-Man fan concurred about turning it into an "animated take" on the Clone Saga, along with some other changes.

"Hopefully they use the revised version of the story. Look, I didn't hate the Clone Saga. It wasn't spectacular, but I didn't hate it," they said. "I just hope they don't shoehorn-in all the new Spider-People like Gwen and Miles."

Critic Martin Kessler responded to the news on Twitter, saying, "The Clone Saga doesn’t get the entire blame, but more than a good chunk of it, for the reason why I stayed away from superhero comics for about a decade."

So, with concerns and questions lingering – will Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker be played by the same actor? – there's plenty of trepidation for the Clone Saga. But Spider-Man's appeal is at an all-time high after Brand New Day's domestic box office records in the US.

Days after Daredevil's last hurrah was announced, Kingpin star Vincent D'Onofrio has spoken out on Daredevil: Born Again ending with season 3.

"We so enjoyed bringing Daredevil: Born Again to you all," said D'Onofrio on Twitter. "You stuck with us, and I like to think we stuck with you. We have the final Season, season 3 heading your way next year with some very cool stuff. Much love to all who have been supportive. I love that character Fisk. Always will."

D'Onofrio was first introduced as crime lord Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, in Netflix's 2015 Daredevil, but has since made appearances in Marvel projects Hawkeye, Echo, and Born Again.

The news broke on Monday, September 21, after weeks of cancelation rumours. But according to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel has also quietly parted ways with showrunner Dario Scardapane, "whose contract was up and was not renewed." This means that despite filming the third installment, Scardapane will seemingly not be part of post-production.

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 wrapped filming in August, and is reportedly already in the final stages of production. Marvel has yet to share an official synopsis, but thanks to leaked set images, we know that Elektra is set to return, somehow from the dead. Plus, we'll finally get the Defenders reunion we have all been waiting for, with Mike Colter's Luke Cage and Finn Jones's Iron Fist joining Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones.

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 ended with Matt Murdock going to prison after turning himself in and Fisk accepting a deal to leave New York City. Mr. Charles and Bullseye also seemingly left, and Jessica Jones finally reunited with Luke Cage.

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 arrives next March. For more, check out our guide on how to watch Marvel movies in order, and keep up with upcoming superhero movies and shows on the way.

Retcons are part and parcel of comic book movies, with plot changes echoing back (and often improving) past entries.

One such instance appears to be arriving in VisionQuest, the upcoming Marvel show that charts the next mind-bending chapter in the life of Paul Bettany's android.

A major moment in Vision's then-short life arrived in Avengers: Age of Ultron. There, he seemingly chose to wipe evil AI Ultron (James Spader) from existence.

According to VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas, however, that wasn't exactly the case.

"He actually backed [Ultron] up in that movie," Matalas told Empire (H/T The Direct). "He always felt that he didn't really want to kill Ultron. Ultron was such a threat to humanity, and he was so lost, but at the last moment, we'll find out that Vision showed mercy."

While VisionQuest continues the story of 'White' Vision, the replacement android bestowed with the original Vision's memories, it will both serve as a sequel to WandaVision and stand alone as its own story as Vision seeks for answers amid a cast filled with past Marvel AI (including E.D.I.T.H.), surprise family revelations, and the return of Ultron.

"It’s more the Vision story, just because we’re going to dig into so much of who he is in ways that the films and WandaVision couldn’t, including some deeper parts of his origin that may go back even further than what we believed," Matalas told SFX. "So it's very much its own entity, but it does obviously touch upon what has come before for this guy."

VisionQuest is released on Disney Plus from October 14.

Six years after the series came to an end, Agents of SHIELD star Chloe Bennett is still annoyed that the show isn't considered canon in the MCU.

"I'm still low-key angry that they don't fully acknowledge this as canon – the real followers will understand that," said Bennet in an interview with Elle. "We were the first MCU TV show, and we did 130-something hour-long episodes. We spent a lot of time in people’s homes, and I spent a lot of my life playing this character and this young woman growing into her power. There’s a lot of symbolism in that, especially looking back now."

No matter how hard some Marvel fans may argue its case, Agents of SHIELD is not considered canon in the MCU. This is largely due to the show operating within its own set of rules outside of the MCU, such as time travel, and the fact it completely ignores the blip. The SHIELD timeline has also never really matched up with the MCU, making it hard to place in the MCU timeline.

Bennet was introduced to the Marvel on-screen universe in 2013 as the skilled hacker Daisy Johnson, aka Quake. In the comics, the superhero and spy has the power to create great earthquakes. In the show, we see Daisy evolve into a powerful Inhuman and core member of SHIELD, protecting the world from cosmic threats.

However, despite being irked over the whole canon debacle, Bennet is still open to returning to Marvel one day. When asked if she would even play Daisy again, Bennet said, "Totally. I’m obsessed with Daisy. I feel like I am Daisy. I would be so protective of her," adding, "I would love to play her with the growth that I’ve had since I’ve had a break from the role."

The issue is, we have never seen the main SHIELD characters in any MCU projects. But MCU characters have made cameos in the show, including Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury. Fans also spotted an Agents of SHIELD Easter egg in Daredevil: Born Again. So, there is some link there. Who knows, maybe Agents of SHIELD could get a reboot in years to come and make its way over to the MCU, just like Netflix's Daredevil did.

Marvel Studios is apparently still investing in Disney Plus TV shows, despite the news that Daredevil: Born Again is ending with season 3. In a new report suggesting the Charlie Cox-led show was coming to a close, it was revealed there are "three to five" live-action MCU series currently being developed.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, sources also suggest a new spy thriller is among those greenlit. Reportedly called Zodiac, it's thought it could be focused on a criminal organization from the comics led by a villain called Scorpio.

Regardless of what it's about, a new spy thriller could tread similar ground to Marvel's ill-fated Secret Invasion. As that show struggled to resonate with viewers, it's a genre the MCU needs to redeem itself in.

Marvel television will be making an appearance at New York Comic Con soon with a panel set for October 8. We could hear more about future MCU plans here or it may focus on the already announced animated projects (including X-Men '97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man) and the upcoming VisionQuest.

However, the news of more shows comes amid a question mark about whether Marvel was slowing down its production of TV shows. Wonder Man was recently canceled after its season 2 renewal and Kevin Feige had previously announced plans to streamline MCU releases in the coming years.

We'll have to wait and see what happens next for Marvel on the small screen. In the meantime, we have Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars both confirmed and on the way.

After weeks of cancellation rumors, Daredevil: Born Again season 3 will reportedly be the show's last.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel also quietly parted ways with showrunner Dario Scardapane, "whose contract was up and was not renewed." This means someone else will have to oversee the show during post-production, which is reportedly already in the final stages.

Scardapane served as showrunner for all three seasons and made a heartfelt post following the completion of season 3: "Sorry it took so long to say, but THAT'S A WRAP on production for Season 3 of Daredevil Born Again," the showrunner wrote on his Instagram story. "Thank you to Marvel and the magnificent cast and crew that made this season something very, very, very special. I'm humbled daily by the talent I get to work with. Cannot wait for you to see what all these twisted minds have come up with. #BestCrewEver"

After Wonder Man season 2 was cancelled (despite being previously renewed), fans were quick to notice that there aren't live-action Marvel shows on the release slate beyond Born Again season 3 in March 2027... making us all wonder if the age of Disney Plus MCU shows has come to an end for now. Though we do still have VisionQuest on the docket.

The third season of Born Again is supposed to give us that long-awaited MCU Defenders team-up, folding the lives of Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist into one season alongside Matt Murdock's newfound journey in jail.

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 arrives next March. While you wait, check out our guide to all the most exciting upcoming Marvel movies and TV shows.

Next month sees the return of Paul Bettany's hard-wired hero Vision in his own MCU television show, VisionQuest. To keep the hype going, three new posters have been released highlighting the hero, his old nemesis, Ultron (James Spader), and his estranged son, Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica), whom he'll have to reconnect with, or save from drowning, by the looks of things.

They're certainly a lovely set that shows the tone the new series will be going for, but naturally Marvel fans are trying desperately to read between the carefully placed lines. On closer inspection, they've theorized that the art is teasing three other characters who haven't appeared yet and haven't been officially announced. With Vision, Ultron, and Tommy each on a different floor in each poster, the guess is that Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen), Billy Maximoff (Joe Locke), and Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) might be on the other three.

Second-guessing things in a Vision-centric story isn't anything new for MCU fans, given the lengthy debate about whether Mephisto was going to turn up in WandaVision at some point (oof, remember those days?). That, of course, wouldn't happen, and the lord of the underworld wouldn't make himself known until the ending of Ironheart.

Of course, there's also the possibility that three more posters could make an appearance displaying the other characters that will be holding up residence in Vision's home, including the original Jarvis (James D'Arcy), Friday (Orla Brady) or E.D.I.T.H. (Emily Hampshire). For now, we'll just have to wait and see who calls the lift when VisionQuest arrives on Disney+ on October 14.

Ruaridh Mollica, who will make his MCU debut as Tommy Shepherd in VisionQuest, is playing coy about whether his character will have his superpowers or not.

Tommy first appeared in WandaVision as a child, but an older version of the character is set to appear in the Vision-centric show.

But when ScreenRant asked Mollica if his superspeed powers would factor into VisionQuest, Mollica kept his cards close to his chest and answered: "This is a mystery that I am not comfortable answering."

VisionQuest sees Paul Bettany return as the titular synthezoid, alongside a cast that includes James Spader's Ultron, Orla Brady's Friday, and James D'Arcy's Jarvis.

As it turns out, Mollica's Tommy is part of the only mandate that Marvel boss Kevin Feige gave the show.

"There's always a direct line of communication with Kevin and [Marvel's head of television] Brad Winderbaum. They're a text away. But for the most part, we had a lot of creative freedom to tell Vision's story the way we wanted to. There were no borders we needed to be mindful of," showrunner Terry Matalas explained recently.

"Kevin was very receptive to this crazy idea from the beginning. He called me and said that it's the story of Vision, he's going to meet his son, and he's like, 'The rest is up to you.'"

One person who most likely won't factor into the show, though, is Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff. She seemingly died in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, a fate that Vision will be aware of in the new show.

VisionQuest arrives this October 14. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and TV shows for everything else that's on the way.

VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas has confirmed that the Marvel show hasn't used any generative AI in the making of it. This is in spite of the fact that the series, which features the human versions of several AI characters who exist in Vision's head, would have had a pretty perfect excuse.

"No, not at all," Matalas confirmed to ScreenRant about not using it. "There hasn't really been a need. All the designs nod to how our current form of AI processes things... That felt like a fun way for us to comment on it."

As hinted here, production designer Will Hughes-Jones found a fun way to nod to the world of AI as we know it in the show. He's incorporated details about how AI gets it wrong in Vision's Mindspace, including stair bannisters that lead nowhere, chairs built into walls, and wonky furniture.

Marvel has used generative AI in the past, including in the TV show Secret Invasion, which used it for its title sequence. However, generally, it has not played a big role in the creation of MCU movies and shows.

VisionQuest has been described as a "sequel" to WandaVision, and picks up with White Vision at the end of that show. Restored with memories but with no emotional connection to them, the series sees him trying to understand his humanity and past as he engages with fellow AI and his creator, Ultron, in his head.

Meanwhile, he's also dealing with the very real threat of a bounty hunter on his tail and a partnership with a young man who might be his son. VisionQuest arrives on Disney Plus on October 14.

Despite cancelling Spider-Noir after just one season, Amazon and Sony are still moving ahead with their multi-title deal to use IP from Sony's Universe of Marvel characters... and there are reportedly four projects in development.

The deal was first announced back in 2022, with Silk: Spider-Society set to be the first project. The series, which would've followed Korean-American superhero Cindy Moon, was ultimately canceled before entering production. Spider-Noir premiered in 2026 to rave reviews, but was given the axe just a couple of months after the first season was released. According to The Ankler, there are a whopping four projects in the works, and Amazon is hoping to greenlight two of them.

Per the report, the four projects come from American Born Chinese creator Kelvin Yu, Pluribus and Better Call Saul writer Alison Tatlock, Tracker and Legion producer Ben H. Winters, and For All Mankind creators Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert in collaboration with WandaVision and The Marvels writer Megan McDonnell.

Deadline reported that one project in particular is "nearing a series order." Details are, of course, being kept under wraps, and we don't know which Spidey heroes or villains are up for their own TV shows. We do know, however, that Amazon has access to over 900 Marvel characters that qualify as Sony-owned Spider-Man characters, so the possibilities are enormous.

Spider-Noir is streaming now in both black-and-white and in color on Prime Video. For more, check out our Spider-Noir review, or if you're still confused about how Spider-Noir is connected to the Spider-Verse movies, we've got the answer.

In the wake of Spider-Noir's cancelation, the showrunner has shared some insight into what a second season would have looked like. Oren Uziel says that while they hadn't started writing a follow-up for the Amazon MGM show, the ending of season 1 did give him some ideas.

"If I had my druthers, it would be probably another location," he told Variety. "There are so many L.A. noirs we could have dove into. There are European noirs we could have dove into. There are other places to go. You're starting in 1933. Where is that heading? It's heading toward just a most cataclysmic time – World War II. There was a lot of storytelling that could have happened there."

However, Uziel says he's pleased that they didn't leave Spider-Noir on a cliffhanger. "We made a very closed-ended show," he continued. "There's a reason we were honoring these old noirs. The story begins when the client comes into the private detective's office, and it ends when they solve the case. So, it was nicely buttoned up."

An official reason hasn't been given for the cancelation of the series, but reports from Deadline suggest that Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television were hoping for bigger streaming numbers. This was especially the case given the reported budget was about $400 million.

However, the release schedule for Spider-Noir was pretty unconventional. It aired on MGM Plus before arriving all at once on Prime Video, rather than the usual weekly release schedule.

Uziel isn't the only one who's reacted to the cancelation. Nicolas Cage also shared a very classy reaction to the news, sharing that "one season was perfect".

VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas says we'll see plenty of Ultron in his scary robot form throughout the new Disney Plus show, but that it was more important to showcase James Spader and Paul Bettany's complicated father-and-son chemistry.

"It's funny, people say it's a budget thing, it's not, it's a James Spader thing," Matalas tells Polygon. "I love James Spader. Who doesn't love James Spader? I just want to see James and I want to see Bettany. You'll get plenty of robot action in the show. The show is very much inspired by that last scene in Age of Ultron between the two of them," he continued. "But watching Spader and Bettany chew up the scenery was something I saw in my head from the very beginning."

Of course, Ultron and Vision won't be the only robot we see in human form: the cast includes Orla Brady as FRIDAY, Emily Hampshire as EDITH, and James D'Arcy as JARVIS (yes, that Jarvis). You might recall that FRIDAY is the AI who was there in the final moments of Tony Stark's life (which is something the show will indeed explore).

It's also worth noting that it's Vision who requests that the AIs each take a human form while living under his roof, in order to make for some "happy home" vibes. It'll be interesting to see how happy of a home it can be with Ultron just running around in there.

Adds Matalas: "It is prohibitively expensive to do a CGI robot 24/7, but I also don't want to see a CGI robot. It's not going to be able to emote and do the things that James Spader can do with just the twitch of an eyebrow. So that's pretty much the main reason."

VisionQuest arrives this October 14. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows for everything else that's on the way.

VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas has revealed the two MCU scenes that inspired the Disney Plus show – as well as Kevin Feige's one mandate.

The show brings back Paul Bettany's Vision after the events of WandaVision, which saw Wanda bring the synthezoid back from the dead in her magical Hex. In the end, she brought down the Hex, but White Vision escaped with all of the regular Vision's memories.

"The two scenes that really inspired the show are two of my favorite scenes in all of Marvel canon, which is the last scene with him in Age of Ultron, and the Ship of Theseus scene in WandaVision. That was the basis of the series," Matalas told Polygon.

The Ship of Theseus scene is a discussion between Hex Vision and White Vision, in which the Hex version explains the philosophical issue of the ship: if all of its parts are replaced over time, is it still the same ship? This applies to White Vision in the new show, since he has regular Vision's memories, but he is a separate creation.

The last scene of Age of Ultron sees Vision destroy the last of the Ultron robots, after the two have a brief conversation on the nature of humanity. Vision is far more optimistic than Ultron, who brands the synthezoid "naive." James Spader's Ultron will be returning in VisionQuest.

As for Feige's mandate, it was surprisingly simple. "There's always a direct line of communication with Kevin and [Marvel's head of television] Brad Winderbaum. They're a text away. But for the most part, we had a lot of creative freedom to tell Vision's story the way we wanted to. There were no borders we needed to be mindful of," Matalas explained.

"Kevin was very receptive to this crazy idea from the beginning. He called me and said that it's the story of Vision, he's going to meet his son, and he's like, 'The rest is up to you.'"

Vision's son, Tommy Shepherd, will be played by Ruaridh Mollica in the show. Billy Maximoff, meanwhile, appeared in Agatha All Along, played by Joe Locke.
