Craving how playing Overwatch felt for the first time? Then Netease Games has just the thing for you. Marvel Rivals is one of the latest hero-shooter titles that has been slowly but surely taking over and dominating the entire genre. It seems it will continue doing so given that it ticks off every box on the checklist.

Marvel Rivals is taking over the hero-shooter genre | Netease Games

The game first came out two months ago in December and became an instant hit, mainly due to the fact that it had already popular heroes and villains as characters in the game. This, combined with polished maps and refined gameplay mechanics, ensured that once the player stepped into the world of Rivals, it was hard to leave again.

When Marvel Rivals hit the gaming scene, it disrupted the industry in a way very few titles have done before. The game not only showcased that the hero-shooter genre is far from dead, but it also redefined the expectations of players and studios alike.

With its diverse roster of iconic Marvel heroes, the game offers an incredible opportunity for expansion, especially in creating unique gameplay modes that push beyond traditional combat. One such game mode could be a parkour-inspired experience, similar to Assassin’s Creed.

Marvel Rivals has proven it can deliver fast-paced and thrilling action, but it has the potential to become much more than just another hero-shooter. Just like how Fortnite transformed from...

When the original iteration of Marvel Television announced a multi-series partnership with Netflix, it was confirmed that Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist would all get their own shows.

Daredevil launched this McU-adjacent street-level corner of the Marvel Universe in 2015 and, two years later, The Defenders was released.

The crossover event was good, not great, but fans remain eager to see these heroes reunite on screen. For Brad Winderbaum, Head of Streaming, Television and Animation at Marvel Studios, the Defenders reuniting somewhere down the line is "inevitable."

"I want to follow the characters and see where they go," the executive shared. "I think the two characters that are most important for Daredevil: Born Again are obviously Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk. They live and breath in a world where these other Defenders characters are walking around somewhere, so I think collisions are inevitable."

Iron Fist was the least well-received of those TV shows,...

DC Comics knows where its bread is buttered. As much as we, the comic book readers, enjoy stories from many characters, a company has to stay aware of their money makers. In DC's case, it’s the World’s Greatest Detective, Batman.

Over the last decade, a lot of writers have done a fantastic job on Batman. James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children), Tom King (Wonder Woman), Joshua Williamson (Green Arrow), and Chip Zdarsky (Sex Criminals) have all created memorable stories starring the Dark Knight. With them have come artists like Jorge Molina (A-Force) and Mikel Janín (Detective Comics) who have helped bring the tales to life. Now, a new team steps forward to take on that challenge, as legendary writer Matt Fraction and returning Batman artist Jorge Jiménez are collaborating on Batman No. 1.

Jon Favreau's 2008 film "Iron Man" kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a multimedia superhero property that would remain dominant in the pop consciousness for over a decade. Initially, "Iron Man" and Louis Leterrier's own 2008 MCU movie "The Incredible Hulk" (which finally got a sequel of sorts in 2025) were meant to be mere stand-alone superhero sories, only including references to the Avengers as a cute wink to fans. But when Disney purchased the Marvel library in 2009, a grander plan was put in motion, laying out multiple films at once, each one introducing a new character. Eventually, all the superhero characters teamed up in 2012's "The Avengers," which was essentially the cinematic version of a TV season finale. That structure held fast through to "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019, the 22nd film in the franchise, and one that featured many, many superheroes.

While the McU's movies were dominating theaters, Netflix got in on the action as well.

Matt "Daredevil" Murdock (Charlie Cox) encountered numerous speed bumps on his journey from Netflix to the Marvel Cinematic Universe proper even before filming wrapped on "Daredevil: Born Again" Season 1. In late 2023, Marvel Studios chose to revamp "Born Again" with a whole different creative team, with showrunner Dario Scardapane ("The Punisher") and director duo Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson taking over. The end result is scheduled to premiere in March 2025, with returning characters Daredevil, Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio), Frank "Punisher" Castle (Jon Bernthal), Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), and Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) set to encounter new players like Hector "White Tiger" Ayala.

Production hurdles are nothing new to Marvel Studios, but from a fan standpoint, they're particularly concerning when it comes to this show. "Daredevil" was the king of Marvel's Netflix superhero era, and a lot is riding on "Born Again" injecting some much-needed gravitas and critical approval back...

Since WandaVision aired in 2021, Marvel Studios has produced no less than 11 original TV series for Disney+, and while some have been hits, there's a sense that it's all a bit too much. Bob Iger, the CEO of Marvel's parent company Disney, admitted that they had "diluted" the audience's attention with so much content, hinting that they'd be more selective in the future.

The future is here. Deadline reports that Marvel has paused development on three shows: Nova, Strange Academy and Terror, Inc. It doesn't mean that these shows will never see the light of day, but as Deadline puts it, the company has "shifted its priorities at the moment."

It sounds like that shift is pretty significant. Back when Marvel Studios started making TV series for Disney+, it handled them more or less like it did movies: it announced a slate, and that's what we eventually got. But now, Deadline...

Though we had been led to believe that Netflix's Marvel shows were no longer considered canon when Marvel Studios announced brand-new MCU content would be developed for the Disney+ streaming service, things clearly changed after Matt Murdock's (Charlie Cox) brief cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) later returned as Echo's villain, and the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series will essentially serve as a fourth season of Netflix's original Dd show.

But what about the Man Without Fear's fellow Defenders?

While speaking to EW in yesterday's piece on Born Again, Marvel's head of streaming, television, and animation Brad Winderbaum hinted that it may only be a matter of time before we see Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones, Mike Colter's Luke Cage, and Finn Jones' Iron Fist/Danny Rand in the MCU.

“I can't say much, but I'll tell you that it's so exciting...

It seems obvious or inevitable, given that Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio and Jon Bernthal are returning as Daredevil, Kingpin and The Punisher in Marvel Television’s “Daredevil: Born Again,” but Marvel brass has now admitted that having previous Marvel characters from the Netflix universe—Iron Fist, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage—could also return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Could the return of Daredevil lead to a revival of The Defenders? Marvel and Disney seem to think so!

Fans of Disney+ and Marvel are eagerly awaiting the debut of Daredevil: Born Again. The new Disney+ series is a sequel to the Netflix show with Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, the blind lawyer whose special abilities allow him to be the costumed crime fighter Daredevil.

The show brings back the rest of the cast, notably Vincent D'onofrio as Wilson Fisk aka the Kingpin. It will also have Jon Bernthal reprise his role as Frank Castle, better known as the brutal vigilante the Punisher, who he played in a Netflix spinoff. 

With fans happy to see Daredevil back, there's a question if the other Marvel Netflix series could return. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Marvel's head of streaming, television, and animation, Brad Winderbaum, confirmed, "We are very much exploring" that possibility. 

"I can't say much,...

Despite the mixed response Captain America: Brave New World has been getting this past week, and persistent rumblings online about so-called 'superhero fatigue', the Marvel Cinematic Universe still has plenty of lovers. And if Marvel Studios' head of streaming, television, and animation Brad Winderbaum has any say in the matter, then the MCU may also be about to bring back some Defenders, too. Namely, Krysten Ritter‘s Jessica Jones, Mike Colter‘s Luke Cage, and Finn Jones‘ Iron Fist, who — alongside Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock — form, well, The Defenders, Hell's Kitchen's Mightiest Heroes.

Ahead of Daredevil: Born Again's release next month, Winderbaum took the time to talk to Entertainment Weekly about the Man With No Fear's MCU journey from humble Netflix origins to prime Disney+ programming. And, when asked if Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, and co's returns might open the door to the other Defenders making a comeback somewhere down the line,...

Defenders, re-assemble!…?

Ahead of Daredevil: Born Again‘s Tuesday, March 4 premiere on Disney+, there is fresh buzz that Matt Murdock’s fellow street-level heroes might also be en route back to the small screen.

With Charlie Cox’s Daredevil officially returning in Daredevil: Born Again, fans have been wondering if the rest of The Defenders could also make a comeback. Now, Marvel Studios’ Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum, has provided an update on the potential return of Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Winderbaum revealed that Marvel is actively looking into bringing back these fan-favorite characters.

“I can’t say much, but I’ll tell you that it’s so exciting to be able to play in that sandbox,” Winderbaum said. “Obviously, we don’t have the unlimited storytelling resources like a comic book. If you can draw it, you can do it.”

He elaborated further, explaining the challenges of bringing these characters back into the fold.

“It’s dealing with actors and time and the massive scale of production in order to build a cinematic universe,...

As Marvel Studios expands its cinematic universe, characters remanded to the shadows continue to emerge for new adventures. March 4th marks the return of Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock for the mature-rated Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again, with Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin and Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, bringing blood and violence to the MCU. While Daredevil is primed and ready for a comeback, other members of The Defenders – Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Iron Fist (Finn Jones) – could return for more superhero drama.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Marvel Studios’ Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum, said Marvel is “exploring” options to bring the trio mentioned above back for more hard-hitting action. “I can’t say much, but I’ll tell you that it’s so exciting to be able to play in that sandbox,” Winderbaum told Entertainment Weekly. “Obviously we...

Marvel Studios’ streaming and TV boss Brad Winderbaum revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that bringing back Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, Mike Colter’s Luke Cage and Finn Jones’ Iron Fist/Danny Rand is something the studio is “very much exploring.” All three actors headlined their own Marvel series on Netflix along with Charlie Cox’s “Daredevil.” The foursome also teamed up in the “The Defenders” series. With Cox’s Daredevil now making the jump to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and headlining his own Disney+ series, fans are hoping the same will be true for his former Netflix co-stars.

“I can’t say much, but I’ll tell you that it’s so exciting to be able to play in that sandbox,” Winderbaum said. “Obviously we don’t have the unlimited storytelling resources like a comic book. If you can draw it, you can do it. It’s...

Superhero characters from the 2017 Marvel TV/Netflix live-action series "Defenders", starring 'Daredevil', 'Jessica Jones', 'Luke Cage' and 'Iron Fist', are being considered for a return in the new “Daredevil: Born Again” TV series, streaming March 4, 2025 on Disney+:

‘Defenders’ include Charlie Cox as 'Daredevil', Krysten Ritter as 'Jessica Jones', Mike Colter as ‘Luke Cage' and Finn Jones as ‘Iron Fist'.

The Daredevil universe just can’t stay quiet, can it? Fresh off the chaos of Born Again, the MCU might have another ace up its sleeve — Elektra. And not just any Elektra, but Elodie Yung’s razor-sharp, fan-favorite assassin. While nothing’s set in stone (yet), the hints are there.

Marvel’s bigwigs are playing it cool, throwing out lines like, “Eventually we’ll try to figure out a bit more with that.” Translation: They’re cooking something. And if Elektra is back, you know it won’t be a warm, fuzzy reunion.

Daredevil: Born Again hasn’t even hit screens yet, but the MCU is already looking ahead, and Elektra might be back in play.

With the return of Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock in Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel Studios‘ Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation Brad Winderbaum shared an update on the rest of The Defenders.

In a new interview, Winderbaum said Marvel is “exploring” bringing back Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, Mike Colter’s Luke Cage, and Finn Jones’ Iron Fist.

There have been persistent rumors that Daredevil's fellow Defenders will eventually follow the Man Without Fear into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it sounds like there are indeed tentative plans in place to (re)introduce at least some of the other heroes from Netflix's now defunct Marvel shows.

Elden Ring Nightreign is FromSoftware’s latest upcoming project that everyone is excited about, primarily because it’s based on the same foundations as the original game that came out back in 2022. The game brings back a new version of The Lands Between, old bosses, including ones from the Dark Souls trilogy, and hopefully an Npc every player wishes to see once again.

Iron Fist Alexander is one of the few friendly faces the player gets to see in the game. However, towards the end, he more often than not meets his demise in one way or another, and players wish nothing but to see him appear once again in the upcoming title.

When it comes to competitive shooter titles, you can never guess as a developer what smallest of changes can ultimately end up altering the whole player meta. The best example of this is how Marvel Rivals modifies the abilities of one character and completely drops the pick rate of another hero.

Marvel Rivals has an ever-changing meta of characters | Netease Games

This is not a new phenomenon. As earlier seen in Valorant, a buff or a nerf to one agent might not only affect its own but other agents’ pick rates as well. The same effect is now happening with Mantis, whose pick rate has dropped through the floor because of a recent change.

With over 600,000 active players, Netease Games’ Marvel Rivals remains a wonder for the free-to-play hero shooter genre. It single handedly managed to overtake multiple other challengers and still thrives two months after its launch.

However, the game is not without its issues, especially with regards to game balancing around certain characters. For instance, Jeff the Shark has been a rather sore point for players even to this day, with many calling the character unbalanced.

Marvel Rivals’ developers shared an interesting tip in a recent post, on how to counter Jeff – but the solution might not sit well with everyone.

There are many times in the gaming industry that a studio’s vision won’t align with what the players expect out of them. It is at moments like these that however the studio decides to proceed, whether it be FromSoft, Netease Games, or anybody else, it would decide how much respect they get to hold in the industry.

Game studios respond differently to players’ complaints | Netease games

Taking an example, the creators of the famous Souls genre have always been persistent on never changing their formula, even if it ultimately meant losing a few players in the process. A step like this allows the studio to even experiment without anything holding them back, a step that Netease Games doesn’t seem to be too ready to take yet.

It’s been a while since the release of Marvel Rivals, and it’s fair to say that the game is the king of the hero-shooter genre. Millions of gamers have flocked to enjoy this new offering, and NetEase Games’ constant additions to the title have given them a reason to stay.

No other hero-shooter games are dominating the industry right now like Marvel Rivals. But developing such a game comes with its own challenges, especially this one, where different skill sets might require the creators to put in extra effort to get it feeling just right.

There are a lot of different characters in Marvel Rivals | Netease Games

The challenge arises regarding close combat or melee characters like the Iron Fist and the Black Panther. Marvel Rivals is essentially a game with more than 30 heroes, and working and perfecting a unique set of abilities for each one of them was a challenge only Netease Games could have taken up.

Marvel's Daredevil will soon be "Born Again" when the Disney+ series, reuniting the cast of the Netflix "Daredevil" series, finally premieres. Judging by the "Born Again" trailer, one of the new characters is feline-themed vigilante Hector Ayala/White Tiger (played by Kamar de los Reyes).

Daredevil fans might recognize that name, because in Brian Michael Bendis and Manuel Gutierrez's comic storyline "Trial of the Century," Matt Murdock defends White Tiger in court. Hector, falsely accused of murder while wearing his costume, faces a prosecutor eager to bring superheroes down a peg — but don't worry, he never sees the inside of a prison cell.

It remains to be seen how closely White Tiger's onscreen arc will mirror the comic version. Season 2 of the original "Daredevil" included a stretch set in Ryker's Island. After a failed defense from Nelson & Murdock, Frank Castle...

Every Marvel fan who worried that a Disney+ "Daredevil" series would never be able to compete with the reams of violence, gore, and sex depicted liberally throughout the Netflix show, fear no more. The trailer recently dropped for Matt Murdock's (Charlie Cox) crime-fighting vigilante would've seemed to put any such concerns to rest, but we now have it on good authority that not even the family-friendly confines of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will tone down the grittiness of our favorite street-level superhero. Thanks to some eagle-eyed observers from the UK who spotted the official rating on Disney+ (via ComicBookMovie), it appears that "Daredevil: Born Again" will actually represent the highest age rating of any Marvel Studios project to date.

"Daredevil: Born Again" has reportedly earned a rating of 18+ in the UK, which means it's intended only for adults and roughly translates to a typical TV-ma/R rating for those of us who reside Stateside.

Charlie Cox’s Matthew Murdock has proven a lot of things in his tenure in the Daredevil Netflix show, and one of them is the fact that J. Jonah Jameson is a scam artist and a fraud. While the character has been labeling Spider-Man a menace for the latter’s entire career, New York has had its fair share of brutal vigilantes that mothers told their children about to keep them on the straight and narrow, be it Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Moon Knight, or Daredevil.

While Spider-Man gets a bad rep from J. Jonah Jameson, there are heroes like Daredevil that are categorically more dangerous, the kind that criminals wish they never meet, opting to take their chances with the likes of Spider-Man, who is leagues stronger than most street-level vigilantes.

Netflix canceled ‘Daredevil’ despite the success of its third season because the streaming giant decided to end its partnership with Marvel. This was part of a larger shift, as Disney (Marvel’s parent company) was preparing to launch its own streaming service, Disney+, and wanted control of its Marvel content.

Though ‘Daredevil’ was the most popular Marvel/Netflix show, the decision seemed to be part of Netflix’s move to phase out Marvel projects entirely, including ‘Luke Cage,’ ‘Iron Fist,’ and eventually ‘Jessica Jones’ and ‘The Punisher.’

Daredevil got a second chance with the revival ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ and after the creative reboot that the show underwent, its tone is more similar to the original show than ever.

Still, the ‘Born Again’ showrunner Dario Scardapane revealed that not all was good when it comes to the original show, and despite trying to follow it faithfully some changes had to be...

When Netflix pulled the plug on the Defenders Saga in response to Disney+'s planned launch, most fans thought that was it for the Man Without Fear and his fellow street-level superheroes. Fortunately, that's proven not to be the case.

While we're still waiting to see whether Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist return, it's been an exciting few years in the MCU for Daredevil. He's made cameo appearances in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Echo and had a memorable supporting role in an episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

Talking to SFX Magazine about Daredevil: Born Again, Charlie Cox addressed his future as Matt Murdock beyond his upcoming Disney+ series.

"I feel rejuvenated and lucky and blessed that I'm still being given the opportunity to play this character," the actor explained. "You so rarely get to do such a varied palette of tasks as an actor. I get...

After the twisty finale for season two of Silo, Apple TV+ has made it official and tapped Ashley Zukerman and Jessica Henwick to star in the upcoming third season of the popular sci-fi series.

Zukerman, who played Nate on HBO’s Succession, will star as Daniel, a young and hungry congressman, while Iron Fist’s Henwick will play Helen, a whip-smart reporter. Season three of Silo will continue to be showrun by Graham Yost and will see Rebecca Ferguson returning as Juliette, an engineer who has sought answers about a loved one’s murder.

At the end of season two, Juliette returned to the silo amid a flashback to contemporary Washington D.C. that could well have foreshadowed the drama of the upcoming season. Apple TV earlier renewed Silo for two more seasons to allow the show to tell a complete story based on a trilogy of novels by Hugh Howey.

“Silo” Season 3 is already building out its cast.

Variety has learned that both Jessica Henwick and Ashley Zukerman are set to appear as series regulars in the upcoming third season of the Apple TV+ post-apocalyptic drama based on Hugh Howey’s “Wool” novel trilogy.

Zukerman will play Daniel, described as a “young and hungry congressman,” while Henwick will play Helen, said to be a “whip-smart reporter.” Both actors recently appeared in the Season 2 finale and will continue in the same roles in Season 3.

The casting news comes roughly one month after Apple renewed the show for both Seasons 3 and 4, with Season 4 set to be the final season.

Henwick’s previous TV credits include “Game of Thrones,” “Iron Fist,” and “Silk,” while she has also been in films like “Glass Onion,” “The Matrix Resurrections,” and “The Royal Hotel.” She is repped by CAA, imPRint, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.

Zukerman has starred...

In the immediate wake of releasing Silo‘s Season 2 finale, Apple TV+ on Friday morning formally announced the first new castings for Season 3.

Aussie actor Ashley Zukerman (Designated Survivor) will fill the role of Daniel, a young and hungry congressman, while English actress Jessica Henwick (Game of Thrones) will play Helen, a whip-smart reporter.

Daredevil: Born Again is set to bring Charlie Cox back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although there has been some confusion about how this new Disney+ series relates to the previous Netflix show. The new series was originally announced in 2022, but Daredevil received a creative overhaul a year later, with many changes being made to the series. While it was originally envisioned as independent from the Netflix show, many of the new changes have contradicted that, creating some confusion.

Much of Marvel's Netflix offerings rank well in the MCU. While Iron Fist was seen to be a disappointment by most, the rest of the shows, including Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and The Punisher, found various levels of success. However, Daredevil has generally been considered the crown jewel of The Defenders saga. Starring Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio, the series introduced a truly iconic version of the hero and his greatest villain,...

Marvel Studios released the first official trailer for Daredevil: Born Again earlier today, and in addition to bringing us up to speed on the Man Without Fear and his various allies and enemies, the teaser included the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first direct nod to Luke Cage.

Along with fellow Netflix Marvel series' Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Punisher, Defenders and the original Daredevil, Luke Cage was technically set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the time of its release, but we'd later learn that Kevin Feige was never fully on board with integrating these projects into the MCU proper, and the advent of Marvel Television and the Disney+ streaming service suggested that the shows were not officially part of the main 616 Universe - or so we thought.

Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) eventually appeared in MCU film and TV projects, with Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) set to debut in Born Again.

The Man Without Fear is back in the first trailer for Daredevil: Born Again! Check out the action coming to Disney+ this March!

Just as the MCU was getting underway, Netflix was branching out with its own shows based on the "street level" heroes of the Marvel Universe. First up was Daredevil, which had already been adapted into a 2002 film starring Ben Affleck.

The show centered on Matt Murdock, blinded as a child by chemicals that also gave him enhanced senses and a "radar sense." He uses those as the masked vigilante Daredevil while also working as a lawyer.

The show was a huge success, which inspired spinoffs of Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. That led to all the characters teaming up in The Defenders. Sadly, the entire Netflix line was canceled in 2018 when Disney asserted more control over the characters. They were then removed from Netflix in 2022 to migrate to Disney+.

Thankfully,...

In the trailer for Daredevil: Born Again, Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock returns as the blind vigilante crime-fighter and meets up with former mob boss Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk. At the start of the two-minute clip, released Wednesday, the unseen enemies meet for coffee and exchange pleasantries.

“Well, I will admit, it’s not entirely unpleasant seeing you again,” D’Onofrio says in the trailer.

The new series sets Matthew Murdock on another collision course with Wilson Fisk, and you can get all the details we have about it here.

Get ready for a return to the mean streets of New York City in “Daredevil: Born Again.” The Marvel television series will see Charlie Cox return to the character he first embodied in Netflix’s “Daredevil” series back in 2015. If you’re not sure how the show will connect to its roots, or where it falls in the Disney lexicon of Marvel superheroes, check out all the details we know so far about it below so you’re fully caught up when it premieres on Disney+.

It has been months since Marvel teased the existence of an All-New Venom completely independent of the symbiote’s previous hosts. While Marvel and the series have been tactically placing teases and false leads to the host’s secret identity, nothing solid has been revealed yet. However, Marvel has finally revealed which comic issue readers will finally discover Venom’s identity as well the issue’s mysterious cover art.

In a post on X, Marvel Comics HQ revealed the cover image for All-New Venom #5 – written by Al Ewing, with art by Carlos Gómez – which promises to reveal the secret identity of Venom’s new host. While the comic series has presented four possible options, most fans aren’t really certain who it is.

Writer Al Ewing and Marvel have slipped in false leads already; the vague clues and overt yet useless hints have been meant to turn readers in every which way.

With a backlog of comics for November and December this was actually the one I was most looking forward to digging into. I’m sure I have made it common knowledge that Frank Tieri wrote one of my favourite eras of Wolverine, if not the best of all. This run led to a Weapon X ongoing series and Sabretooth featured in both so he has previous on the character. All of which led me to believe this would be a good story. Upon reading this I found it came as a nice little bonus to pick up from the events of the 2020 one-shot Ruins of Ravencroft: Sabretooth also by Tieri. The story kicks off with Wolverine in a bar, like I said Tieri has a good understanding of both characters and...

I would love to see Finn Jones return to the MCU as Danny Rand, who first appeared in Netflix's Iron Fist, but Marvel needs to make him a much stronger hero. Previously known for roles in Game of Thrones and The Sarah Jane Adventures, Finn Jones became known to Marvel fans as Danny Rand in Netflix's Iron Fist series, part of the Defenders Saga. Out of the six shows comprising the Defenders Saga, however, Iron Fist is widely regarded to be the weakest link, which makes me concerned for the Iron Fist's future in the MCU.

In early 2024, Netflix's Defenders Saga was confirmed to be canon to the MCU and integrated into the McU's official timeline on Disney+. This makes me think that Finn Jones' Danny Rand is now an official part of the MCU, though neither Marvel Studios nor Jones himself have revealed whether this is the case.

Over the past half-decade, Marvel Studios has attempted to perfect its television arm of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It started extremely strong with 2021's WandaVision, which kicked off the franchise's Disney Plus era on an Emmy-nominated high. There have been multiple successes since then, but it hasn't been smooth-sailing for the MCU as a number of the shows have either underperformed or received a mixed response from audiences. But with the likes of Agatha All Along, Loki season 2, and Echo receiving strong responses, things are back on track.

Marvel characters have been headlining TV shows for years before the official MCU shows arrived on our screens. That much was clear from Netflix's shared universe of Marvel heroes, one of whom has now made the jump to the MCU with his own revival series Daredevil: Born Again. It's one of the most hotly-anticipated installments of the franchise's upcoming titles as...

The nine episode first season of the Marvel series Daredevil: Born Again is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on March 4, 2025 – and while there was once an idea to cherry-pick elements from the Netflix Daredevil show and build something new around them, those plans changed while Daredevil: Born Again was in production. The Netflix series is now canon to the Disney+ show, which evolved into a direct follow-up, picking up five years later. Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Elden Henson, Deborah Ann Woll, Wilson Bethel, and Ayelete Zurer reprise the roles of Matt Murdock / Daredevil, Wilson Fisk / Kingpin, Murdock’s associates Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter / Bullseye, and Vanessa Marianna Fisk. Jon Bernthal is also back as Frank Castle / The Punisher, who made his debut on the Daredevil series before getting his own Netflix series. There have been rumors that The Punisher might be revived on Disney+ just like...

NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals features 33 popular characters from Marvel comics, out of which 18 are Duelists, 8 are Vanguards and 7 are Strategists. The game features some strong Duelists, however, there is one that has been weak since day one: Storm. This character is one of the strongest characters in the Marvel Universe but in Marvel Rivals, she is probably the least popular Duelist.

Some leaks have surfaced on social media that reveal the list of heroes that are getting nerfed and buffed as a part of the season 1 update. Storm is among the buffed heroes list, so it seems like NetEase Games has finally realised how underwhelming her abilities are. There is also some bad news, the studio has decided to nerf only two heroes: Hela and Hawkeye. One hero who desperately needs a nerf is not getting balanced any time soon.

Following What If...? season 3, Marvel Studios now has six different versions of the Iron Fist in the MCU, even though Finn Jones' low-rated version of the iconic Marvel hero doesn't yet have a confirmed future in live-action. What If...? season 3 put weird and wonderful spins on some of the McU's best-loved characters, including Bucky Barnes' Winter Soldier, Agatha Harkness, Bruce Banner's Hulk and Shang-Chi. The latter appeared in What If...? season 3, episode 6, "What If... 1872?," and starred alongside a surprising new addition to the MCU.

What If...? season 3, episode 6, explored a reality in which several notable MCU characters existed in the Wild West of 1872. The story focused on Shang-Chi and Kate Bishop's Hawkeye, two outlaws on the hunt for Shang-Chi's sister, Xu Xialing, who turned out to be the infamous Hood, a villain soon to debut in the McU's Ironheart series. As well as developing these pre-established MCU characters,...

NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals has managed to become one of the most popular PvP games in the world right now. However, there are some issues that NetEase Games must address soon in order to keep the players hooked. The game is facing a problem that is quite common in hero shooters: unbalanced heroes.

Currently, the entire Marvel Rivals community is after Hawkeye and Hela since these two characters desperately need a nerf. However, players are forgetting about this Strategist agent whose ultimate ability is extremely overpowered: Luna Snow. If the opponent team is filled with Luna Snow, Hawkeye, and Hela, it is probably best for you to hide.

Jon Bernthal may have had his breakthrough with The Walking Dead but he became beloved to a whole fandom when he played Frank Castle in Netflix/Marvel’s The Punisher. Making his debut in season 2 of the acclaimed show Daredevil, he went on to lead his spinoff for two seasons before it was canceled along with the rest of the Netflix shows.

Bernthal’s performance as the troubled and violent Frank Castle proved to be the best take on the character to date and he is set to reprise his role in the MCU. Getting it right did not come easy for the actor, though, as he recounted an instance when his casting announced when a fan warned him to not mess it up.

It's a debate that's still haunting Iron Fist and his biggest fans. With Marvel Rivals really taking off everywhere, Danny Rand's biggest stans are taking another look at the character and wondering if his origin just makes the character too hard to pull off.

Marvel Rivals has been thrilling fans, with its enormous cast of playable heroes. But a small subset of fans weren't too pleased with its version of Iron Fist being Lin Lie, the current holder of the mantle. On Reddit, a small debate discussed the change, and the problematic Gordian knot that is the Immortal Iron Fist.
