  • Wonder Man looks like a character study about actors and fame first, superhero spectacle second.

  • VisionQuest aims at identity and fatherhood, with Ultron and Stark AIs complicating Vision’s humanity.

  • MK III is happening while MK II shifts to May 2026, likely escalating from tournament to Earthrealm stakes.

  • Starfleet Academy’s tone split the room, but the world of Trek can still benefit from smaller-scale stories done right.

  • Checkmate and “metahumans vs government” are poised to be a major connective thread into Superman.

  • Jordan Reynolds frames Adam Warlock as the calm center of a chaotic match – measured, hopeful, and precise.
