© Provided by Total Film null Next year, Jurassic World 3: Dominion roars into cinemas – a movie 65 million years in the making (give or take the quarter-century or so since the original Jurassic Park). But if you thought you knew what to expect from the Jurassic franchise, think again, because all bets are off after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
That movie’s finale saw herds of dinosaurs unleashed on northern California to save them from certain death. No longer confined to a tropical island, how will T-Rexes, Pteranodons, and Triceratops interact with a human race that’s been separated from them by millions of years of evolution? Can people adapt to the “new normal” of sharing the planet with prehistoric creatures? There could well be a clue in that “Dominion” subtitle…

Everything you need to know about the trilogy-capper starring Chris Pratt Jurassic World 3 : Dominion is currently scheduled to release on 11th June 2021, however the coronavirus pandemic is likely to delay that date .
Jurassic World director/co-writer Colin Trevorrow is back behind the camera for Jurassic World 3: Dominion, having handed the megaphone to J.A. Bayona its first sequel. He says he’d always planned the three movies as a trilogy, so presumably the new state of affairs was always part of a grand plan. He’s also brought original Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum along for the ride because, y’know, life finds away.
With the final chapter of a six-part saga less than a year away – coronavirus permitting – GamesRadar+ dives into the fossil record to give you all the essential intel. Read on to find out more about the Jurassic World 3: Dominion release date, trailers, cast, plot and more.
Jurassic World 3: Dominion release date is June 11, 2021
While coronavirus has been holding back big screen debuts everywhere, the Jurassic World 3: Dominion release date has remained unaffected – for now, at least. The movie’s always been pencilled in for June 11, 2021 – a date that’s consistent with the respective June 2015 and June 2018 releases of its predecessors, Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

That’s not to say, however, that Jurassic World 3: Dominion has made it through the pandemic completely unscathed. Director Colin Trevorrow confirmed on Twitter that production began on February 24, 2020 (kicking off in Canada, before moving to the UK) but it was only a few weeks before the coronavirus lockdown put the shoot on hold.
Luckily, in July, the movie became one of the first Hollywood blockbusters to make it back in front of the cameras – as these bruisey on-set photos from star Bryce Dallas Howard confirm.
Reports have indicated that, to get Jurassic World 3: Dominion filming again, the cast and crew all had to isolate within the same hotel complex for a number of weeks, with Jeff Goldblum bringing along his wife and children to isolate with them. Apparently, the whole team would play frisbee every Sunday, and – thanks to Twitter – we've seen Goldblum and Sam Neil enjoying some jazz sessions together. Not a bad way to spend a few weeks...

Jurassic World 3: Dominion trailer – are there any teasers for the new movie?
It’s still a little early for a bona fide Jurassic World 3: Dominion trailer, but we’ve got something that’s arguably even better – a dinosaur-packed 10-minute short that helps bridge the gap between Fallen Kingdom and the new movie.
“Battle at Big Rock” is set in northern California, a year after the dinosaurs were set loose at the Lockwood mansion. It shows a vacationing family getting caught in the middle of a scrap between a carnivorous Allosaurus and a family of plant-eating Nasutoceratops, hiding from the carnage in their RV.
Just as interesting as the central plot, however, are the hints at how the world has changed. News reports mention sightings of baby dinosaurs – suggesting they’re breeding in the wild – while there’s talk of adapting to a “new normal”. (The short was released months before “new normal” became part of everyday conversation.)
There’s also a few tantalising mid-credits scenes: a pack of tiny Compsognathus chasing a little girl; a close encounter with a Stegosaurus causing a car accident; a Parasaurolophus drinking by the side of a river; a spectacular shot of a shark leaping out of the water to eat a seal being topped by a Mosasaur eating the shark; and a Pteranodon swooping out of the sky to catch a dove released at a wedding. The world of Jurassic World 3: Dominion is clearly going to be very different to what we’ve seen before.

#JurassicWorldDominion is an upcoming American science fiction adventure film directed by Colin Trevorrow. A sequel to the 2018 film Jurassic World : Fallen
Jurassic World 3: Dominion cast – who can we expect to see in the movie?
“It’s got pretty much everybody in it,” star Chris Pratt said on The Ellen Show. “It’s going to feel very much like how Endgame brought everything together in Marvel.” He wasn’t exaggerating. As well as bringing back the key (surviving) players from the recent movies, the Jurassic World 3: Dominion cast is also reuniting the stars of Steven Spielberg’s original 1993 dino-romp, Jurassic Park.
It was always inevitable that franchise mainstays Pratt (who plays animal behaviorist/Velociraptor trainer Owen Grady) and Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World manager turned dino-activist Claire Dearing) would be back in action. But we also know they’ll be joined by Isabella Sermon as Maisie Lockwood, the little girl they rescued in the final act of Fallen Kingdom – in fact, Trevorrow’s already tweeted a photo of Sermon on set.
It’s also no surprise that we’ll be seeing more of Dr Henry Wu, the original Jurassic Park geneticist who’s become a major player in the new trilogy – he even cameos in animated Netflix spin-off Camp Cretaceous, which alludes to his morally suspect approach to creating dinosaurs. Actor B.D. Wong confirmed he’s part of the Jurassic World 3: Dominion cast in an interview with Entertainment Weekly way back in February 2020.
Games of Thrones prequel casts first lead actor, Paddy Considine
Paddy Considine will play King Viserys I in the Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon . © Provided by Total Film null The English actor – known for his roles in Peaky Blinders, Hot Fuzz, and The Death of Stalin – will play King Viserys I, an ancestor of everyone’s favourite Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen. Viserys is chosen by the Lords of Westeros to succeed the Iron Throne and apparently wants to innocently carry on his grandfather’s legacy. However, as the original series showed us, good men don’t always make good leaders.
A couple of Claire’s Dinosaur Protection Group colleagues reprise their Fallen Kingdom roles in the new movie – Daniella Pineda as paleo-veterinarian Zia Rodriguez and Justice Smith as computer expert Franklin Webb.
And there are probably returns for a pair of characters from Jurassic World who sat out its sequel. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed back in February that Omar Sy and Jake Johnson would be reprising their roles as Grady’s raptor-training partner Barry Sembene and theme park control room operator Lowery Cruthers, respectively. Though has reported that Johnson’s appearance may now be in doubt, thanks to scheduling issues. “I was getting ready to go out and then this pandemic hit and so everything got pushed and the schedule got rearranged,” Johnson said in mid-August. “We’re figuring out the scheduling and how and if we can make it work.”
Franchise newcomers Mamoudou Athie, DeWanda Wise, Dichen Lachman, and Scott Haze will take on as-yet-undisclosed roles, but the most intriguing new arrival is Campbell Scott. According to Entertainment Weekly, the Singles/Roger Dodger star will play Lewis Dodgson, whose name may be familiar to fans of Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park novel and the original movie. Dodgson (played by Cameron Thor in Jurassic Park) was the rival businessman who paid rogue IT guy Dennis Nedry to steal embryos in a can of shaving foam. Seeing as villains in this franchise have a habit of getting themselves eaten, it seems a good bet that Dodgson – reportedly now the CEO of genetics company BioSyn, perennial rivals of Jurassic Park/World owners InGen – could be the Big Bad this time out.
Jurassic World: Dominion filming shut down due to on-set COVID scare
Director Colin Trevorrow promises the cast will be "back soon".Jurassic World: Dominion has hit another unfortunate roadblock on the way to cinemas.
The biggest news about the Jurassic World 3: Dominion cast, however, is undoubtedly the return of original Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill (as paleontologist Dr Alan Grant), Laura Dern (as palaeobotanist Dr Ellie Satler), and Jeff Goldblum (as chaotician Dr Ian Malcolm). They’ve all walked with dinosaurs again (Dern and Neill in Jurassic Park 3, Goldblum in The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) but this is the first time the trio have all been reunited on screen. And unlike the glorified Goldblum cameos that bookended Fallen Kingdom, they will have substantial screentime. “We’re all the way through the film, Jeff, and me, and Laura,” Neill told Yahoo! Movies, though he did admit that, “[I probably won’t be running quite as fast as I was 27 years ago!”
The trio could also be joined by another veteran of the original movie. Joe Mazzello played dino-obsessed kid Tim Murphy in Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and got fans speculating in February when he tweeted: “I think it’s time to get back to work. What do you say gang?” The timing checks out with other announcements about the movie, but we’re still waiting on official confirmation. It’ll be interesting to see if Tim got to live out his dream of becoming a palaeontologist.
And perhaps most importantly of all, Sam Neill has confirmed that Dr Grant’s hat is definitely making a return. Okay, it’s not Indiana Jones’s fedora but we do love an iconic piece of headwear…
Jurassic World 3: Dominion plot – what can we expect to see in the movie?
While Jurassic World shared much of its “theme park goes wrong” structure with the original Jurassic Park – albeit on a bigger scale – Fallen Kingdom made sure that the franchise is now in a very different place. Isla Nublar, the site of the park, has now been destroyed by a volcano, while dozens of dinosaurs have now been set free to roam in northern California.
Netflix renews Jurassic World spin-off series Camp Cretaceous after season 1
More dino adventures?
“The island’s blown up, the animals are out, we can’t put them back in the box, what are we gonna do?” said Chris Pratt in an interview with MTV News. “How are, not only these dinosaurs, but this technology moving forward going to affect the planet? We jump forwards and it’s like, ‘Oh right, oh damn…’”
That time jump will presumably have given the dinos time to get a foothold in the USA, as hinted in “Battle at Big Rock”. It’s also likely that Owen and Claire will have formed a surrogate family with young Maisie Lockwood, revealed to be a clone of Jurassic Park co-founder Sir Benjamin Lockwood’s late daughter. Lockwood’s decision to replicate an actual human will surely have huge ramifications for the Jurassic World 3: Dominion plot.
Indeed, Trevorrow told Entertainment Weekly that the new movie will be a “science thriller”. “If I could contextualise each film,” he said, “I would say Jurassic World was an action adventure, Fallen Kingdom is kind of a horror suspense film, and Jurassic World 3 will be a science thriller in the same way that Jurassic Park was.”
We’re guessing that Lewis Dodgson’s BioSyn outfit will be involved in that side of the story somehow – whether he’s taking an interest in cloning dinosaurs or people. Perhaps we’ll also get an answer to the question of whether Eli Mills (the businessman who betrayed Lockwood in Fallen Kingdom) was getting outside help.
Who knows, maybe Dodgson will also be taking a trip to Isla Sorna, the “Site B” dinosaur breeding ground that was the main location for The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park 3. Seeing as it could be an easy instant source of new dinos, it’s strange that it’s yet to feature in the Jurassic World trilogy – especially as Trevorrow’s usually keen to mine the franchise’s back story. Just think of the prehistoric monstrosities Wu could have created away from public view…
One thing we won’t be seeing, however, is dinosaurs doing a Godzilla and trashing big cities. “I just have no idea what would motivate dinosaurs to terrorise a city,” Trevorrow told BirthMoviesDeath. “They can’t organise. Right now we’ve got lethal predators in wild areas surrounding cities all over the world. They don’t go pack hunting for humans in urban areas. The world I get excited about is the one where it’s possible that a dinosaur might run out in front of your car on a foggy backroad, or invade your campground looking for food. A world where dinosaur interaction is unlikely but possible – the same way we watch out for bears or sharks.
“We hunt animals, we traffic them, we herd them, we breed them, we invade their territory and pay the price, but we don’t go to war with them. If that was the case, we’d have lost that war a long time ago.”
Crucially, it seems that the Jurassic World 3: Dominion plot is going to tie up the six-film arc that Steven Spielberg started in 1993. “In terms of the third movie, the goal overall is to bring the entire saga together,” Bryce Dallas Howard told Cinemablend. “It’ll be the sixth film at the end of the day.” Though it won’t necessarily be the end of the Jurassic Park/world universe…
When Collider asked the franchise’s long-time producer Frank Marshall if Jurassic World 3: Dominion would be the end of the series, he answered with a decisive “no”.
“It’s the start of a new era,” Marshall continued. “The dinosaurs are now on the mainland amongst us, and they will be for quite some time, I hope.”
Jurassic World 3: Dominion dinosaurs – what do we know about the movie’s non-human stars?
Yes, the human cast members are important, but everybody knows the real stars of the franchise are toothier, scalier and generally scarier. It seems that the roster of Jurassic World 3: Dominion will be expanding on what we’ve seen before.
In an interview with Insider, Jeff Goldblum said: “The first thing that we shot… it was a scene with me and Laura and Sam Neill and we were – I can’t tell you much – but we were all day in a very tight, enclosed space. You’ll see – it’s a mystery you’ll solve when you see [the movie]. The three of us were in a tiny little space and we were being menaced by – I can’t even tell you – a surprising faction of prehistoric creatures that you’ve never seen before.”
The big question is, are they dinosaurs lifted from the fossil record? (The fact that Trevorrow announced on Twitter that Edinburgh University palaeontologist Steve Brusatte has been brought on to the consulting for the film suggests they’re looking for a degree of scientific accuracy.) Or are they ‘new’ dinosaurs created in the lab, such as the Indominus Rex and Indoraptor that caused so much carnage in Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom?
While we don’t know the Jurassic World 3: Dominion dinosaurs’ identities, we do know that a lot of them will be created with animatronics rather than CG – more so than on the previous Jurassic movies. “We’ve actually gone more practical with every Jurassic movie we’ve made since the first one, and we’ve made more animatronics in this one than we have in the previous two,” Trevorrow said on Collider’s Comic-Con@Home panel. “We finally reached a point where it’s possible to… digital extensions on animatronics will be able to match the texture and the level of fidelity that, on film, an animatronic is going to be able to bring. And you didn’t use to be able to really mix them. You could really see the seams. And so that part of it is very exciting for me.
“[Fallen Kingdom director] J.A. Bayona really, he found the value in creating really photo-real, just beautiful lighting references that could be articulated just slightly. Just a head and a jaw that could move, but painted beautifully, hand-painted. And we do it for all of the dinosaurs now, so when we put it into a space, you can see how the light reacts to the skin. And even if they ultimately do make that a digital animal, there was always something there reacting to the light in that environment.”
And that's a wrap on what we know about Jurassic World 3: Dominion. While we wait for the new movie to reach cinemas, make sure to check out our ranking of the best sci-fi movies of all time. Or perhaps get to know the Jurassic World animated series on Netflix. It contains some good teasers for Dominion...

Exploring the new Marvel TV shows - including a first look at Helstrom
Forget the movies for a moment, all the new Marvel TV shows on the horizon has suddenly made small-screen superhero adventures all the more important – and exciting.
Not only is the MCU heading to Disney Plus with new series that will enrich some of its existing lineup, but also introducing some of the most diverse, unique characters from the pages and panels of the comics.
Beyond that, new Marvel TV shows are bringing the horror with Helstrom on Hulu, while there is now talk of an interconnected spider’s web of Spidey shows on the way, beginning with Silk on Amazon. More on that – and a whistlestop tour of every other new Marvel TV show – is just a few clicks away.
Spoiler warning! The events of Avengers: Endgame are so important to the future of Marvel TV that numerous spoilers lie ahead.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the first of the new Marvel TV shows debuting on Disney Plus, but we're not sure exactly when. Previously, there was a ‘Fall 2020’ window but Variety now reports that it's been delayed indefinitely.
What we do now have is the first look at the series, thanks to a Super Bowl Marvel spot. The trailer shows off a very quick rear-end-focused look at U.S. Agent, played by Wyatt Russell.
Yep, as the name – and trailer – may have hinted at: Anthony Mackie and Sebastan Stan are back as Falcon and Bucky ‘Winter Soldier’ Barnes respectively. They’ll be joined by the aforementioned Russell, as well as a returning Baron Zemo (Daniel Bruhl). Further filling out the cast is another familiar face: Emily VanCamp is back as Sharon Carter.
Marvel and Disney are taking their new MCU spin-offs on Disney Plus very seriously indeed. Just to prove it, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige told Variety: “These episodes will intersect with the movies in a very big way. It’s a totally new form of storytelling that we get to play with and explore.” Having also confirmed that there’ll be “ramifications” for other TV shows and movies, and that “post-Endgame the MCU will be extremely different” – something made abundantly clear by Spider-Man: Far From Home. It looks like the next generation of new Marvel TV shows aren’t simply going to be cynical cash-ins.
“I think it's time for Bucky to go out there and have an identity outside of the circumstances that we've met him through,” Stan said at an unnamed comic convention (as reported by Comicbook.com), while Mackie said at SDCC that he wants to find out "what makes The Winter Soldier tick… and what ticks him off.” Whatever happens, if the show echoes the espionage-heavy tone of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, they won’t have any complaints from us.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier could even be home to the genesis of the X-Men. Kinda. A recent set photo clearly shows the flag of Madripoor, a fictional country best known for playing a significant role in a handful of X-Men comics down the years.
Stan, meanwhile, has opened up about the upcoming MCU series in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. You're going to like what he says.
"What I loved about [Falcon and the Winter Soldier] was that, tonally, it was very much in the same world that Captain America: The Winter Soldier was, which was one of my favorite experiences that I’ve ever had, period," Stan said. "So, in a sense, it was grounded and very much in the world as we know it. But, it’s also really jam-packed with a lot of massive, massive action scenes mixed with deep focus on character."
He warns, however, that filming hasn't finished as of April. With the movie and TV industries both shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there's a more-than-likely chance that the series will arrive at the tail-end of Fall. We'll keep you updated as soon as we hear more.

WandaVision
Like the upcoming Black Widow movie, this new Marvel TV show is one to file in the “Hang on a sec, aren’t they dead?” column.
Focusing on Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch and Paul Bettany’s Vision, the Disney Plus series, which has a new release window of December 2020, will revisit the boy-meets-girl story that was doomed in the most unlikely of circumstances – y’know, when the boy had a stone with the power to destroy the universe forcibly removed from his forehead in Avengers: Infinity War. That.
WandaVision’s premise, though, is wholly unique to not just the MCU but perhaps in all of television. As the trailer (which you can see in the Falcon and Winter Soldier section above) shows, Wanda will be pulling out all the surreal sitcom stops to keep her loved one by her side. Is it a set-up of her own making? Well, she’s pregnant in one scene and married in another. This domestic bliss, while all happy and homely at first glance, could soon tear apart at the seams, especially if Wanda if sub-consciously calling the shots.
Of course, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany return in the post-Endgame adventure. WandaVision will also star Teyonah Parris as an all-grown-up version of Monica Rambeau (who later becomes Photon in the comics) from Captain Marvel and Kat Dennings returns as her Thor character, Darcy Lewis.
Hinting at the show's direction at SDCC, Kevin Feige says: “It’s unlike anything we’ve ever done before.” It will also serve as a lead-in to another big Marvel Phase 4 project, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Olsen may reprise her role as Wanda Maximoff there, too.
Speaking of which (witch?), Wanda is going to be developed far more than she ever was on the silver screen. Olsen told a buzzing Hall H crowd at SDCC: "We’re gonna have a lot of fun. We’re gonna get weird, it’s gonna get deep, and have lots of surprises. We’re finally going to understand Wanda Maximoff.”
Jac Schaeffer, one of the writers of Captain Marvel, is on board as showrunner, says the Hollywood Reporter, while Feige has described the series as “something unexpected and surprising, as well as something we can only do in a long-form series.” Marvel’s currency is now so high that it’s earned the right to experiment, so expect the MCU to visit places it's never been before with WandaVision.
Unlike Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision is looking likely to hit its December release.

Loki
Loki has the potential to be the biggest of all of Disney Plus' MCU shows, seeing as the trickster god is by some distance the highest profile character making the move to television. And just when you thought this new Marvel TV show had to be a prequel series detailing the God of Mischief’s history as a thorn in his brother’s side, Avengers: Endgame changed the rules again. Having been unceremoniously executed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, Loki’s earlier incarnation found a Tesseract-shaped escape route during Captain America, Iron Man and Ant-Man’s trip back to the timeline of the first Avengers movie.
Back in February 2019, the Hollywood Reporter said that the new show will see Loki (Tom Hiddleston reprising his role from the movies) “popping up throughout human history as an unlikely influencer on historical events” – a fact seemingly confirmed by Kevin Feige’s appearance at a Disney investor event (reported by SlashFilm), where a photo in the background clearly shows Loki in a ’70s city, as Jaws is playing at the cinema.
However, Feige said at SDCC 2019 that the Loki TV show will take place after Endgame. Of course, with the multiverse timey-wimey stuff still up in the air (and the interesting choice of logo which could hint at four different Loki eras), who knows what tricks the God of Mischief has up his sleeve?
Tom Hiddleston has also confirmed that the show will approach two major questions: Loki's death, and what happens to the Tesseract. There might even be a female Loki on the cards, as Sophia Di Martino has reportedly been cast in a lead role.
Just a few seconds of Loki footage has been revealed, though we've noticed that the letters on Loki's prison jumpsuit, TVA, stands for Time Variance Authority. In the comics, they're judge, jury, and executioner on all things time travel-related. If Loki is in their sights, it's only because he's been messing up the timestreams in his own smarmy way.
However this plays out, Loki adventuring through time and space being a bit naughty sounds like a TV show we want to watch. It's arriving in Spring 2021.

Hawkeye
Hawkeye is the last of the current batch of new Marvel TV shows from this stage of the MCU to be released. Arriving in Fall 2021, the Hawkeye series will launch on Disney Plus and will see Clint Barton training up Kate Bishop to be his replacement. Not much else is known, not even who will be playing Bishop, though Hailee Steinfeld was attached to the role at one point.
Recently, the Hawkeye directors have also been announced. THR states that Bert and Bertie and Rhys Thomas will be helming some episodes. There's even some official concept art to fawn over, showcasing what design Kate Bishop could potentially take in the Hawkeye series when it hits in 2021.

What If?
The MCU is set to take its first steps into animation, alternative history and the anthology series with Disney+’s What If?, launching in Summer 2021.
If the comics are anything to go by, we'll be getting a series featuring a left-turn down the road less travelled when it comes to iconic MCU moments. Indiewire reports that the first episode will show what would happen if Peggy Carter had been turned into a super soldier instead of Steve Rogers, while comic book story “what if Loki had found the hammer of Thor?” will reportedly form the basis of one episode.
The cast is, well, incredible: Michael B. Jordan, Sebastian Stan, Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Hayley Atwell, Karen Gillan, Jeremy Renner, Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Neal McDonough, Dominic Cooper, Sean Gunn, Nicole Portman, Stanley Tucci, Taika Waititi, Toby Jones, Djimon Honsou, Michael Rooker, and Jeff Goldblum all return as their MCU characters, while Jeffrey Wright will voice The Watcher. The late Chadwick Boseman was also set to appear, though it's not yet known if he recorded his lines for the project.
The chance to see an alternative view of the Marvel movie timeline sounds intriguing and fun – though the version of MCU history where Tony Stark never escaped from captivity in Afghanistan may be rather brief...

She Hulk, Moon Knight, and Ms. Marvel
Why are these all bundled together? Well, frankly, we don't know a great deal about the TV shows that will introduce these trio of characters to the MCU just yet. Other than a logo for each show and the fact that they're coming to Disney Plus in the next few years (and then some), Marvel has been reluctant to share much more.
Rick and Morty writer Jessica Gao has been brought in to write She-Hulk, while each of the three characters will also appear in future MCU movies. Mark Ruffalo has even spoken of being in talks for a She-Hulk appearance. Other than that? Watch this space.

Helstrom
Hulu's horror show will focus on Daimon and Ana Helstrom, the children of a “mysterious and powerful serial killer” who may just have connections to, well, hell. “Marvel’s known for all the heart, humour, and action they put into every series, but this time around we’re adding some scares to that mix,” boasts showrunner Paul Zbyszewski. “I think we’ve found a compelling way to dissect some of our deepest fears through the experiences of our two lead characters.”
Sounds spooky. Helstrom is out on October 16, with the first trailer detailing the conflict the Helstroms have to deal with, not least of all their mother, played by Elizabeth Marvel.
Marvel (the actress, not the studio), has teased the show's darker elements, comparing it to another Marvel favourite: "I think it's, I wouldn't say it's too scary or scarier than a lot of the territory explored in, you know, something like Daredevil or a lot of shows and movies that are out there can get dark, but it's just different," Marvel told ComicBook.

Hulu animated shows
On Hulu, there were originally four new Marvel TV shows, ones devoted to M.O.D.O.K. (aka Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing), Hit-Monkey, and Tigra & Dazzler. The plan was for them to all come together to form a supergroup called – wait for it – The Offenders.
However, Howard the Duck and Tigra & Dazzler have been cancelled, while little has been heard about Hit-Monkey. There is some good news, though, in the shape of M.O.D.O.K, which has a cast in place: Patton Oswalt is set to play M.O.D.O.K, while Aimee Garcia plays his wife, Jodie. Parks & Rec's Ben Schwartz and Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Melissa Fumero will play their son and daughter respectively.
The synopsis for the show, via Marvel, makes it sound like one of the more unique series currently in the works: "Ousted as A.I.M.’s leader, while also dealing with his crumbling marriage and family life, the Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing is set to confront his greatest challenge yet: a midlife crisis!"
-
Sony's Spider-Man shows
This one is still in the early stages, yet could be among the most exciting of all the new Marvel TV shows, the Disney Plus offerings included. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller are working on a couple of projects. That includes “a handful of live-action shows using Sony’s Marvel characters, of which there are like 900 characters” according to Miller (via Deadline). “We’re figuring out a way to develop the shows so that each are their own unique experience but also related.”
Among the characters that Sony definitely have access to are the stable of Spider-Man heroes and villains that roam everywhere from New York City and beyond. An interconnected web of shows spinning out of Lord and Miller’s undoubtedly great track record with licensed characters (let’s not talk about Solo) could mean that Sony has the next mini-MCU on its hands.
The first of which could be Silk, with Amazon reportedly in talks to land the series. Silk will follow Cindy Moon, who ended up getting bitten by the same radioactive spider as Peter Parker. What are the odds?
Elsewhere, Sony Pictures chairman Tony Vinciquerra has confirmed that there are "five or six" Spider-Man shows currently in the works. Phew. That's a lot of Spidey.

Will Netflix's Marvel shows ever make a return?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn’t look like Netflix’s Marvel shows will be making a comeback, at least not on Netflix. With Jessica Jones being cancelled, that marked the end of MCU-related shows on the streaming service, with Luke Cage, The Punisher, Daredevil, and Iron Fist having already been canned.
Will these characters have a future elsewhere? Head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, says (via Slash Film). “I don’t know. There were a lot of great characters that were on those Netflix series and I think there is a period of time, it’ll be a while, before we use any of them based on what the contracts were, so I’m not sure,” before adding, “Answering that question is a spoiler.” Never say never – even if Feige is in peak tease mode.
Charlie Cox, who played The Man Without Fear on the Daredevil series expected a fourth season.
"You know, I turned down jobs, 'cause I thought we were shooting and we were getting ready for it," he told ComicBook.com.
Ouch.
