Based on the iconic Xbox franchise, Halo will take place in the universe that first came to be in 2001 with the launch of Xbox’s first Halo game.

Dramatizing an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant, Halo the series will weave deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future.

The series stars Pablo Schreiber as the Master Chief, Spartan-117, Natascha McElhone (Californication) as Dr. Halsey, the brilliant, conflicted, and inscrutable creator of the Spartan super-soldiers, and Jen Taylor (Halo game series, RWBY) as Cortana, the most advanced AI in human history, and potentially the key to the survival of the human race.








I think they missed the window on this granted Halo aint cheap to do but they could have found something cheaper to do in this Universe.

Granted that didnt look half bad...

For the established fandom this show should have come out 5-6 years ago, but a show like this was always going to have to succeed with new fans anyway, and for most of them this will be their first real experience with Halo. The production value looks pretty good, so if they can keep the writing tight and avoid the video games adaptation pitfalls (trying too hard to please gamers, sticking too close to the lore, and making it "look" like a game) it could be a good show.

Suprise to see Bokeem Woodbine back. He has a consistent career but been off the radar these past couple of years.
 
Hawkeye's been out long enough so anyone who still hasn't seen it yet or knows about the big bad that shows up in it :

SPOILER ALERT for the following video.







 
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The series will feature Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One, and Ethan Peck as Science Officer Spock.

The series will follow Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.

I wish they would stop insisting on making every Trek show/movie exist in the same jumbled continuity. If this show was set in its own universe I would be a lot more excited to see it.

Indeed just call it a reboot and not act like the continuity is the same.
 
JUDGEMENT DAY: Marvel Comics Reveals First Artwork And Details For Avengers Vs. X-Men Vs. Eternals Event

After a few cryptic teasers, Marvel Comics has finally revealed the first details and artwork for writer Kieron Gillen and artist Valerio Schiti's Judgement Day event. Kicking off in July, the series will tie into Gillen's Eternals and Immortal X-Men runs as well as Jason Aaron's Avengers for an odyssey that will usher in dramatic developments for these three core Marvel teams.

The X-Men have achieved immortality and mutants have taken their place as the dominant species on the planet. The Eternals have discovered long-hidden knowledge about their species, including a devastating truth about mutantkind. The Avengers have come into direct conflict with the Celestials and are currently using a fallen Celestial as their base of operations, slowly unlocking its secret.

However, when the Eternals brazenly target the mutant nation of Krakoa, the Avengers try desperately to de-escalate a potentially apocalyptic war. But this is no simple conflict. The Eternals’ purpose cannot be denied and mutantkind’s future will not be threatened. And after the opening battles, new players and revelations for both sides will emerge as the inhabitants of the Marvel Universe are judged by the greatest power they’ve ever come into contact with.

"For all the Marvel instruments I've played, I've never written an event. Writing an event is something different," Gillen says. "It's not like playing an instrument. It's having all the instruments in the Marvel music shop. That's not like writing a song. That's like writing a symphony."

"I looked at everything in Eternals and Immortal X-Men and everything else all the X and Avengers writers have done and thought...yeah, this is an event," the writer continues. "In fact, an event is the only way to do justice to this. I want the scale. I want the heartbreak. I want a book that wears its heart on its sleeve even as it puts a fist in your face."

Free Comic Book Day: Avengers/X-Men #1 will offer our first look at Judgement Day on May 7, but in the meantime, you can check out an awesome piece of teaser art for the series below:

The trailer features Chris Evans' Buzz Lightyear battling aliens, taking on an android kitten sidekick and fighting a robot that appears to be the inspiration for the evil Emperor Zurg.


Lightyear was announced in December 2020. As confirmed by Evans at the time, the film isn't about the Buzz Lightyear Toy Story fans are familiar with (voiced by Tim Allen) -- rather, it's "the origin story of the human Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on." This is further supported by Disney's new Lightyear synopsis, which reads, "The sci-fi action-adventure presents the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear—the hero who inspired the toy—introducing the legendary Space Ranger who would win generations of fans."
 
Netflix finally dropped a full trailer for the "Vikings: Valhalla" spinoff series this week:



Set over a thousand years ago in the early 11th century, VIKINGS: VALHALLA chronicles the heroic adventures of some of the most famous Vikings who ever lived — the legendary explorer Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his fiery and headstrong sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), and the ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter). As tensions between the Vikings and the English royals reach a bloody breaking point and as the Vikings themselves clash over their conflicting Christian and pagan beliefs, these three Vikings begin an epic journey that will take them across oceans and through battlefields, from Kattegat to England and beyond, as they fight for survival and glory.

Vikings: Valhalla launches February 25th, only on Netflix.
 
DC Comics is shaking things up once more with Dark Crisis, a seven-issue monthly event by writer Joshua Williamson and artist Daniel Sampere.



 
Futurama Revived at Hulu


Nearly 10 years after it signed off, Futurama has been revived for a 20-episode run on Hulu, the third platform for the animated comedy from creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen.

The series that aired its first five seasons on Fox before being revived for three more at Comedy Central will return to production this month for a 2023 premiere. Following an extended deal-making period, original stars Billy West (Fry) and Katey Sagal (Leela) along with ensemble players who voiced multiple characters Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman will all return. John DiMaggio, who provided the voice behind the wise-cracking robot with the “shiny metal ass” Bender, is finalizing a deal to return as well though a deal has not yet closed.

"Diversity & Wokeness is fucking up everything!!! Keep your politics out my entertainment!!!"

Funny how certain self proclaimed fans of comics, fantasy & sci-fi seem to always overlook the fact that some if not most of their beloved franchises have all been allegories on some kind of social, political or racial issues. (See X-Men, Star Trek & the most recent fan favorite franchise, the Expanse)
