About Kevin Erdmann

Since 2019, Kevin Erdmann has been one of Screen Rant's Senior Staff Writers, covering all kinds of Superhero and Star Wars media with Easter egg breakdowns, theory pieces, breaking news, and more. A huge Star Wars & MCU fan, Kevin also loves Batman (because he's Batman), but could talk for hours about why Nightwing is DC's greatest hero. 

With 8 years of total experience covering entertainment and pop culture, Kevin has gotten the chance to interview top creatives and talent, and has also attended major media events like Disney's D23 convention.

Majoring in Cinema Studies with a minor in Comics and Cartoon Studies from the UofO, Kevin lives in Oregon with his wonderful wife, adorable dog, and sinister cat who is no doubt currently plotting his demise.

Industry Focus

Kevin has worked in a few roles with Screen Rant such as with the Comics section, though he's currently a senior writer for both the Star Wars and Superheroes Beats, covering everything MCU, DCU, and the Galaxy Far, Far Away. Having strong foundations in Comic Book lore, Star Wars canon, and Legends, Kevin thrives on creating helpful explainers as well as fun speculation pieces about the future.

Favorite Media

Kevin's favorite shows and movies in no particular order:

The Skywalker Saga, Andor, Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, Moon Knight, Avengers: Endgame, Infinity War, Winter Soldier, Civil War, MCU Spider-Man Trilogy, Into The Spider-Verse, Indiana Jones, Logan, Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy, Loki, Black Panther, The Suicide Squad, Man of Steel, Zack Snyder's Justice League...and any and all Batman movies (but Reeves' The Batman was particularly awesome).
