The world of Marvel’s Netflix Defenders threw a curveball months back with news that Jon Bernthal’s Punisher might garner his own post-Daredevil Season 2 spinoff after all, but the rumor may have been gunned down. Marvel TV brass say reports of a potential Punisher solo series were exaggerated, at least for now.

Plenty of fans have been jokingly referring to Captain America: Civil War as Avengers 2.5, since it boasts almost the entire Avengers lineup, introduces Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, and includes villains and supporting characters both old and new. It’s…a lot. And it looks like there’s at least one more character to add to Marvel’s super-pile, as Gwyneth Paltrow has been confirmed to return as Iron Man pal Pepper Potts.

The first Season 2 trailer made fairly evident that Daredevil would suffer some serious damage at the hands of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, and a new teaser may well expose Matt’s identity outright. Watch Frank Castle break the Man Without Fear in a new sneak peek of Season 2!

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spent plenty of time crafting a reveal that its enigmatic “Skye” was in fact the Daisy “Quake” Johnson of Marvel Comics, so could a similar revelation arise for Grant Ward, its other most transformed creation? Simmons herself, Elizabeth Henstridge, may accidentally have spilled the beans on a new Marvel identity for Ward, who wasn’t looking so hot in the first trailer.

Though Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 has actually been filming for over a week or so (the cast and crew have been posting shots from the set, including that crew chair you see above), Marvel and Disney officially announced the start of production this morning. Yes, we already knew that, but they’ve also confirmed the film’s cast.

The moment Marvel fans have been waiting for all year has finally arrived! Daredevil suits up for Season 2 on Netflix, and Matt Murdock has some deadly new friends and foes alike to keep things in Hell’s Kitchen more punishing than ever. See for yourself, as Daredevil battles The Punisher in our first full Season 2 trailer!

We’ve just over a month until the second season of Marvel’s Netflix Daredevil arrives to Punish us all, and ahead of a full trailer, Matt Murdock has a Chinese New Year surprise. The time has come to settle all debts, courtesy of a brand new teaser for Daredevil Season 2 on Netflix.

This morning we received a mysterious package. One the outside of the all red box were the distinctive logos for both Coca-Cola and Marvel. Inside were six mini-cans of Coke, each with one of the members of The Avengers on the can, along with a note that read the following: For those who weren’t paying attention, the date listed on the card is the date of this Sunday’s Super Bowl...

Not that you were particularly worried or anything, but Marvel’s recent test screenings for Captain America: Civil War have yielded the most positive audience reactions since The Winter Soldier. Previously, the second Captain America film had received the highest marks at test screenings, which sounds about right considering that it’s the best MCU film to date. Could Civil War be even better?

It would take an encyclopedia to map out the many changes to comic canon the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken thus far, and Jessica Jones was no exception, especially in its central antagonist. Now, showrunner Melissa Rosenberg explains one of the major changes to the comic relationship between Jessica Jones and Kilgrave, in order to make it “more visceral.”

With two more Star Wars episodes and at least three spinoff / anthology films on the way, it’s hard to think too much about the future of the franchise beyond that, though we have been curious about Disney and Lucasfilm’s plans for the future of the series after Episode IX hits theaters in 2019. Will there be more sequels? A new trilogy? More spinoffs? According to Disney CEO Bob Iger, Star Wars will continue on after Episode IX, and the studio has no plans to end that other major franchise anytime soon, either.

Taika Waititi delivered the funniest comedy of 2015 with What We Do in the Shadows, the vampire mock-doc that rightfully drew comparisons to This Is Spinal Tap. He’s back at Sundance this year with his follow-up, the indie comedy Hunt for the Wilderpeople, which is already earning rave reviews. His next project will take him into the mainstream to helm Thor: Ragnarok, but will Waititi bring some of that signature sense of humor to Asgard? You bet.
