Show notes

On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Kristian is joined by Roxy Striar and Mike Kalinowski to break down the latest in superhero news, Marvel updates, and DCU developments!

First up — brand new SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY set photos have hit the internet, and they may finally confirm whether the movie takes place before or after AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY. What does this mean for the future of Tom Holland's Spider-Man and the overall MCU timeline? We dive into the theories, Easter eggs, and fan speculation surrounding the photos.

Next, we talk about the highly anticipated X-Men reboot in the MCU. Reports say the new X-Men team will be "recognizably different" from previous versions. How will this affect characters like Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Magneto?

Then, James Gunn confirms that the script for the DCU's Teen Titans movie doesn't exist yet — despite rumors. What does this mean for Robin, Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy, and the future of DC Studios?

Plus, Peacemaker Season 2 is coming, and John Cena shares his thoughts on how the success of Superman impacts the tone and direction of the show. Will we see crossovers with Superman: Legacy?
