New Report Reveals Marvel Studios Post-Secret Wars Streaming Slate As the calendar rolls over to 2026, Marvel Studios prepares to begin production on the final projects of its Multiverse Saga. Both Season 3 of Daredevil: Born Again and Avengers: Secret Wars are expected to kick off principal photography in either the late first quarter or early second quarter of the year, ahead of their 2027 releases. That leaves a lot of time in the second half of the year for the studio to get to work on whatever it is they're going to call the next saga and while that might be unclear at present, the first several projects of it are far more defined.

‘Supergirl’ Trailer Description Teases Intergalactic Action DC Studios held a "launch event" in New York City to unveil the first teaser trailer for Supergirl ahead of its release sometime this week.

As expected from such an event, a description of the teaser quickly made its way online and while it sounds as though the new film will have comedic beats, it also seems to be very much a "road trip" film in which Kara Zor-El will come to terms with her past traumas.
