I love that they developed this as a series rather than a movie; it allows for much more breathing room and development of the characters.
Instead of being a sprawling intergalactic epic, the series feels grounded, focusing more on “street-level” heroism.
Even though it’s titled Lanterns, the trailer suggests the core focus is on John Stewart’s development as a Green Lantern and his eventual role in replacing Hal Jordan.
Lanterns will be an eight-episode series scheduled to premiere on HBO Max in August 2026. It will officially be part of the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
Marvel Zombies is set in the alternate timeline introduced in the What If…? episode “What If… Zombies?!” (2021), where a virus has turned most of the world’s population, including the Avengers, into zombies. The series takes places five years after the events of the episode and follows a group of survivors as they discover the key to bringing an end to the zombie plague, which leads them to risk their lives traveling across a dystopian landscape and fighting superpowered zombies to save the world.

Ryan Reynolds has been teasing the Avengers logo with an Anarchist symbol painted over it for some time now. Before it appeared during the production of the Deadpool & Wolverine film, and an anarchist Avengers cap also surfaced.
But this time, Reynolds just posted this image on his Instagram account: it’s the Avengers logo that’s been spray-painted with a red, anarchist-style ‘A’ symbol (see below). The timing of this IG post is suspicious, since the Avengers: Doomsday is currently in production and may already be in the half-way mark.
Whatever this means is anyone’s guess. Even though Reynolds was not included in the announced cast, it’s not a far-fetched idea that he will be in the film, perhaps in the later half of the production.
In the end, the Anarchy-Avengers may just be a marketing ploy until Marvel officially announces that Deadpool/Ryan Reynolds is included in an upcoming Avengers film.
Marvel Studios just released the teaser trailer for “Deadpool 3: Deadpool & Wolverine.” After mixed critical reception for some Phase 4 and early Phase 5 films, the “Deadpool & Wolverine” project presents itself as a potential breath of fresh air and the film the MCU might need to reinvigorate itself. It could also pave the way for full introduction of mutants, the X-Men, and other Marvel properties.
From the trailer itself, we get to see that the Time Variance Authority (TVA) will be featured in the film, which means that Deadpool and in some capacity, Wolverine will have the ability to go to different Marvel timeline and change the course of that particular timeline be it the past, present and future. Just imagine, the duo joining the avengers with their fight against Ultron or Thanos, or Deadpool snatching the Nano Gauntlet from Tony Stark and the one snapping his fingers. That will surely “change the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe”.
Until we watch the fholeIt’s unclear which timeline the duo will “mess-up” and how but one thing is for sure, as the premise of the film goes “Deadpool will change the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Wolverine.”
Deadpool & Wolverine is the 3rd Deadpool film and first under Disney/Marvel Studios. It is directed by Shawn Levy, who also directed a number of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman films like Free Guy, the Adam Project and Real Steel. Deadpool & Wolverine is written by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells. The film will star Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reprising their role as Deadpool and Wolverine, respectively, alongside Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen. Aaron Stanford will also returns as Pyro, from the X-Men films and Jennifer Garner as Elektra Natchios.
The Crisis on Infinite Earths trilogy will follow the 1985-1986 comic book series by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez.

“I’ve always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes and I’m very grateful DC and Warner Bros. share this idea,” said writer Tom Taylor. “Superman’s symbol has always stood for hope, for truth and for justice. Today, that symbol represents something more. Today, more people can see themselves in the most powerful superhero in comics.”

After initially striking up a friendship with reporter Jay Nakamura, he and Jon become romantically involved in the pages of SUPERMAN: SON OF KAL-EL #5 from writer Tom Taylor (DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL) and artist John Timms (HARLEY QUINN). Following a scene where Superman mentally and physically burns out from trying to save everyone that he can, Jay is there to care for the Man of Steel.
“I’m incredibly honored to be working beside Tom on the SUPERMAN: SON OF KAL-EL series showing Jon Kent tackling his complex modern life, while also saving the world from its greatest threats, villains and menaces,” said artist John Timms.
“We couldn’t be prouder to tell this important story from Tom Taylor and John Timms,” said DC Chief Creative Officer and Publisher Jim Lee. “We talk a lot about the power of the DC Multiverse in our storytelling and this is another incredible example. We can have Jon Kent exploring his identity in the comics as well as Jon Kent learning the secrets of his family on TV on Superman & Lois. They coexist in their own worlds and times, and our fans get to enjoy both simultaneously.”
