At the recent Disney Upfront presentation, it was announced that Marvel’s Visionquest will release on Disney+ before Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters. It remains unclear if the events of the show will connect to the broader structure of Marvel’s Phase Six, as many audiences have grown weary of doing “homework” before each new film.
At this year’s New York Comic Con (NYCC), Marvel Studios delivered one of the most buzzed-about moments of the event: the unveiling of the first trailer for their upcoming streaming series VisionQuest. But for all the excitement generated in the Javits Center, one thing remains glaringly absent — the trailer hasn’t yet been released publicly.
Netflix is ramping up promotion for the long-awaited fifth and final season of Stranger Things, set to premiere this Thanksgiving after a three-year hiatus. The streamer doubtlessly hopes that the online discourse will center around fan theories and building anticipation for the return to Hawkins, Indiana.

Netflix has found its next modern audience “reinterpretation,” and this time it’s taking aim at one of the most famous revenge stories ever written.

BlueSky, the platform often marketed as a “friendlier” alternative to X, is currently melting down in a rage. Users there have spent the past several days unleashing a torrent of abuse toward actress Keira Knightley — not because she said anything hateful or controversial, but because she dared to suggest that people with different opinions should learn to live together.
Yes, really.
The creators behind KPop Demon Hunters have publicly rejected the idea of a live‑action remake, citing the story’s tone, visual flexibility, and pacing as better suited to animation. Co‑directors and writers Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans addressed the matter in recent interviews.
When Stranger Things launched in 2016, Netflix didn’t just debut a hit show—it built an identity.

But now, nearly a decade later, that illusion is fracturing.
As Variety revealed in its comprehensive feature on the Stranger Things final season, the Duffer Brothers wanted one last, monumental gesture for the fans—a theatrical release of the show’s finale.

But Netflix said no.
The final season of Stranger Things will surely bring big numbers for Netflix, but the future becomes more muddled after that.

A wave of rumors erupted online as fans noticed an oddity within a Netflix Tudum article that discussed replacing Henry Cavill in The Witcher Season 4.

Paramount and Skydance’s controversial Star Trek: Starfleet Academy made a big splash at New York Comic Con — but not for the reason the studio intended.
