The first official trailer, the Super Bowl spot, and now a slew of new images have filled out the picture on what the upcoming Disney+ series will be like.

“Moon Knight” Drops a Twisted Super Bowl Spot
Marvel’s upcoming Moon Knight series on Disney+ promises to be unlike any previous MCU installment. This much has been made clear by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, who told Empire Magazine that Moon Knight will be louder and more brutal than anything they’ve done before. “He’s brutal,” Feige told Empire about Oscar Isaac’s Steven Grant, aka Marc Spector, the tortured soul at the center of the series.

“The Gilded Age” Cinematographer Manuel Billeter on Lighting Old Money & New
Set in New York in the 1880s, The Gilded Age isn’t so much a follow-up to Downton Abbey as an across-the-pond companion piece from creator Julian Fellowes. In what’s being oft-referred to as a ‘lavish epic’ up and down the internet, this new HBO series follows in the footsteps of Fellowes’ previous series, with a slickly-produced focus on all the ways the rich are not like you and me.
Samuel L. Jackson Teases Young Nick Fury in Marvel’s Disney+ Series “Secret Invasion”
It looks like Samuel L. Jackson’s getting de-aged again. The last time Jackson had the years peeled away to play a young Nick Fury was in 2018’s Captain Marvel, which introduced Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel and was set in the 1990s. Now, Jackson has taken to Instagram to tease a return to his younger form for Secret Invasion, Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ series that stars Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos,
“Peacemaker” Composer Kevin Kiner About Harnessing The Power of Hair Bands
Even as complicated and thick-headed as is his character may be, with every new episode, John Cena is worming his way into our hearts as Christopher Smith in writer/director James Gunn’s Peacemaker. In its first season on HBO Max, the show picks up where The Suicide Squad left off, expanding on Smith’s character, revealing his tragic backstory, and introducing viewers to a team that includes characters both old and new.
“Station Eleven” Cinematographer Christian Sprenger on Threading Timelines & Revealing Humanity
It was two days after Christmas when I texted cinematographer Christian Sprenger to ask if he’d be interested in talking about Station Eleven, the critically acclaimed limited series created for television by Patrick Somerville (Maniac, The Leftovers) on HBO Max. I had just finished watching the pilot episode “Wheel of Fire,” which he photographed alongside director Hiro Murai, and the visual aesthetics were astoundingly refreshing.

C-3P0 Actor Anthony Daniels Teases Fussy But Heroic Droid’s Return to “Star Wars”
The last time we saw C-3P0 (Anthony Daniels) in action, he was playing a crucial part in saving the galaxy in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. In J.J. Abrams’s trilogy capping film, C-3P0 allowed his entire memory bank to be erased in order to rewrite his code so he could translate the Sith language. The fussy, nervous droid stepped up when it mattered most, and even Poe (Oscar Isaac) had to begrudgingly accept 3P0’s heroic sacrifice.
“Halo” Poster Reveals Fresh Look at Upcoming TV Series & Upcoming New Trailer
The adaptation of the mega-popular game Halo will arguably be the biggest series in Paramount+’s history. A new poster for Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television series gives us a closer look at Master Chief Spartan John-117 (Pablo Schreiber), one of the genetically and technologically enhanced super-soldiers engaged in a war with an alien race called the Covenant. The poster points to an upcoming trailer that’ll drop this Sunday, where we should learn the series’
“Batgirl” Movie Cast Ivory Aquino to Play DC’s First Trans Character
The Batgirl movie keeps getting more intriguing. Ivory Aquino has joined the cast to play Alysia Yeoh, Barbara Gordon/Batgirl’s best friend (to be played by Leslie Grace). This is a historic piece of casting, as Aquino, who is transgender, will play the first openly trans character in a live-action DC movie. Alysia Yeoh was created by writer Gail Simone and first appeared in “Batgirl #1, Volume 4” in 2011. She was the first major transgender character written in a contemporary context for a mainstream comic book.
Amazon’s Mysterious “The Lord of the Rings” Series Reveals Title & Release Date in New Video
Amazon has just released the one true title reveal. Their eagerly-anticipated and almost comically mysterious Middle-earth-set fantasy series is officially titled The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The title speaks to how the series will be centered on the creation of the original rings of power, which ultimately led the darkest of the dark wizards Sauron to blight Middle-earth with his particular brand of malevolent control. So yes, the big bad Sauron will loom over the new series as he did in J.R.R.
Ethan Hawke’s “Moon Knight” Villain Might be a Hybrid of Two Very Bad Dudes
Yesterday Marvel revealed the first trailer for Moon Knight, their next upcoming series on Disney+ starring Oscar Isaac as the titular superhero. The trailer focused on the struggles of Isaac’s decidedly unheroic gif shop employee Steven Grant, a man who seems spooked by just about everything. That’s because Grant soon learns he has another name—Marc Spector—and what’s more, he suffers from dissociative personality disorder. Soon enough Steven/Marc’s enemies arrive, and this hybrid,
“Cowboy Bebop” Costume Designer Jane Holland on Creating a Jazzy Outlaw Look
How do you approach adapting the looks of a beloved Japanese anime series for a live-action Netflix series? This was the challenge for Cowboy Bebop costume designer Jane Holland, who managed to capture the glorious color of the original anime series about a crew of bounty hunters who will zealously pursue even the most dangerous criminals in the galaxy—if you’ve got the money—and do it all in the boldest of styles. Cowboy Bebop stars John Cho as the perenially sad bounty hunter Spike Spiegel,

Rebecca Front, Ethan Kai, and Corey Johnson have joined the cast in unspecified roles. They’ll be dropping into a Gotham already inhabited by some big names. Along with Grace, Batgirl includes Michael Keaton reprising his role as Bruce Wayne, marking the second big project that Keaton will be donning the cape and cowl for.
See How All The Trick Arrows in “Hawkeye” Were Created
Well, this is fun. Over the weekend, Marvel Studios released this video showing how the trick arrows in Hawkeye were created. Marvel’s most recent Disney+ series was arguably the lightest on its feet of all their series thus far, leaning into the comedic chemistry between Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) and Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld). Part of the fun was how much of a fangirl Kate was for Clint, the least beloved Avenger (she told him it’s a branding issue) insofar as he’s quiet,
