Additional cast members for the film include Inde Navarette as Rogue, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Maya Boyd as Storm, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, and even Adam Driver as Nathaniel Milbury, aka Mister Sinister.

There are plenty of X-Men and X-Men-adjacent projects coming out now or in the next year, but the one that has everyone talking is X-Men ‘97, which recently wrapped up its second season on Disney+. The X-Men are also set to return in live-action later this year in Avengers: Doomsday, and Marvel Studios is actively developing a new X-Men reboot film starring Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) and a host of other stars like Adam Driver and Inde Navarette.

Star Wars’ greatest space cowboy to emerge in the last 10 years was shaped by one of the most iconic Western figures in more ways than you might realize. Back in 2019 with the launch of Disney+, Star Wars introduced one of its greatest creations at the time, The Mandalorian. The show picked up a massive audience and even ran for three full seasons before it made the transition to the big screen earlier this year with the premiere of The Mandalorian and Grogu. After The Mandalorian and Grogu finished its run as the lowest-grossing Star Wars movie in history, the future of the franchise has now been called into question, with no official plans for The Mandalorian’s return having been announced at this time.

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Lanterns Episode 3.Lanterns took a sharp turn in this Sunday's episode as the focus shifted away from Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart's (Aaron Pierre) investigation in Rushville and turned to John's origin story.

The episode shows us that the Guardians first came to John Stewart Sr., but he failed the test they offered him, and it left him traumatized. When Lianna (Laura Linney), one of the Guardians, comes to visit the Stewarts to apologize for the incident, she informs John's mother, Bernadette (Jasmine Cephas Jones), that he might have the potential to become the next Green Lantern.

Adam Blevins — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 22:30:11 GMT

Fans waited over two years for the second season of X-Men ‘97, and as quickly as it came, it’s already over. Fans concerned about the future of the show have nothing to fret about, though — Marvel Studios boss Brad Winderbaum already told Collider that Seasons 3 and 4 of the show will be released in 2027 and 2028, respectively, eliminating any more two-year gaps between seasons. Even the second season of X-Men ‘97 was almost completely finished not long after Season 1 hit the air, and it won’t be until Season 3 hits the air next year that fans see the transition from showrunner Beau DeMayo, who was fired in 2024, to new showrunner Matthew Chauncey, who was brought in afterward to work on newer seasons.
