With the Multiverse Saga nearing it's end with Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, the next saga is already close. With Disney's acquisition of Fox and it's rights to Marvel characters like the X-Men, it is likely the next Saga will focus on the mutants and be called the The Phoenix Saga. However, the world of the MCU is still occupied by the Avengers and other superheroes. So, here's a look at what the trilogies and appearances of these characters could look like. 

1. Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps

Although the next Spider-Man movie is set for 2026, the trilogy will expand beyond the current Saga:

Spectacular Spider-Man (2026): follows a street-level Spider-Man fighting Kingpin (and Scorpion as his muscle) with the help of Daredevil. With Mj and Ned off to college, this is a good opportunity to introduce new friends: Harry Osborn for Peter Parker, and Black Cat as foil for Spider-Man.

The Young and The Restless spoilers and updates reveal Michelle Stafford teased a big storyline coming up for her legendary character, Phyllis Summers. While it’s unbelievable anything could beat the one when she faked her own death and attended her own funeral in disguise, she promises this one will be just as exciting!

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Dropping Hints About Phyllis’ Future?

Stafford recently shared on Instagram, “That’s the week…” along with a photo taken at Television City’s parking lot, where Y&r has been based since the beginning. “I think you guys will enjoy what’s ahead.”

Could this be a hint at a storyline for her character — or someone else; let’s focus on the former. With Phyllis’s connections to various Genoa City residents, there are numerous possibilities for what’s to come.

Lately, we’ve witnessed Phyllis clash with Sharon (Sharon Case...

Hersha Parady, who won the hearts of Little House on the Prairie viewers with her 1977-1980 portrayal of Walnut Grove schoolteacher and Ingalls Family friend Alice Garvey, died yesterday in Norfolk, Virginia, following surgery last month for the brain cancer meningioma. She was 78.

Her death was announced by her son Jonathan Peverall. Parady died in Peverall’s hometown of Norfolk.

In a Facebook post last night, co-star and friend Alison Arngrim, who played the troublemaking Nellie Oleson on Little House, wrote, “Our wild, untameable, talented Hersha has left us. Rest in power.”

Although Parady made her TV debut in 1971 on the series Bearcats! and appeared that decade on Mannix, The Waltons and CBS Afternoon Playhouse, she debuted in her signature role of the Little House teacher in 1977, beginning a three-season run that would end with one of the series’ most shocking and well-remembered installments: The February 4, 1980, episode titled “May We Make Them Proud: Part I.

Prime Video Lines Up ‘One For All’ Series On Belgian Soccer Players

Prime Video is set to launch One for All, a four-part doc from Neo Studios about three Belgian national team football players. Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois, Inter Milan’s Romelu Lukaku and Atletico Madrid’s Axel Witsel will offer insights into the Belgian team, including assessments of the much fancied ‘Golden Generation’s disastrous 2022 World Cup performance, and their own lives across a six-month period. The doc will launch on Prime Video in the Benelux region, Spain, Italy and the UK on May 25. Watch the trailer here. Amazon has leaned in heavily to sports docs of late, including the All or Nothing franchise, Fc Bayern- Behind the Legend and Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In.

‘Harry Potter 20th Anniversary’ Exec Joins October Films

Harry Potter 20th Anniversary exec Mohammed Adnan has joined October Films to head up its U.

The avalanche of music docs over the past decade has left very few stones unturned — and more than a few films that can barely justify their running times if not their existence. But one overdue and heretofore untold story is that of Judee Sill, a brilliant, innovative early ‘70s singer-songwriter who was the first artist signed to David Geffen’s Asylum Records, and was labelmates and/or a contemporary of the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, David Crosby and Joni Mitchell. Sill was frequently compared with the latter (to her great annoyance) and although there are few direct musical similarities, they were both among the most original and innovative singer-songwriters of the era: Her music fit early ‘70s Southern California vibe of her label and milieu, but it was stranger, with deep classical influences, wildly unusual structures and voicings and often dark subject matter.

The latter factor was...

Chester Bennington’s pre-Linkin Park band Grey Daze have updated their song “Starting to Fly” for The Phoenix, their upcoming second album of new music featuring vocals from the late singer.

The track originally appeared on the Phoenix group’s 1994 LP Wake Me; prior to his 2017 death, Bennington expressed interest in re-recording the music he and his Grey Daze bandmates created in the mid-Nineties. Bennington’s widow Talia allowed the band’s surviving members to reuse the vocals as a tribute to the singer, first with 2020’s Amends and now with The Phoenix,...

What’s up nerds! I bet you’re surprised by this semi-regular schedule, aren’t you? This week on Pop! Pop! the guys have a really good laugh at the Dceu because their new show Swamp Thing already got canceled and they’ve literally only aired the pilot. Who are they, Firefly!? Too soon, I know. Looks like that DC streaming platform isn’t going to last very long… *crickets*.

The next best thing to happen this week is the season 5 debut of Black Mirror! From Miley Cyrus to Anthony Mackie, Mantis (Pom Klementieff) to Toper Grace in a man-bun, the guys break down what they did and didn’t like about the latest installation of the celebrated anthology series.

This episode doesn’t have a lot of nerd news because it’s really about one thing: X-Men: Dark Phoenix. No one on this podcast has ever been shy about their hatred for this movie…...

I’ve been accused of being a curmudgeon, and not happy unless I can complain about something. I am very aware, at times, that I can be very critical of things like movies and TV shows that insult my intelligence, but I don’t think that makes me a curmudgeon. To me, it makes me more aware of the manipulation by these folks who run the studios that if they cart out a few explosions and add a few sex scenes, I’ll not notice their stories are so paint-by-number.

So, despite knowing the track record of Brannon Braga (Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise) and his corporate utopian views, I watched Terra Nova each week to see if this sci fi adventure show had anything to offer beyond the sci fi lite that the cable network the SyFy Channel offers viewers.

I do think the premise is interesting, showing...
